Let him have this summer to think everything was fine before Lilith had to tell him that she kept coming up empty with solutions for their Voldemort problem.

Seven pieces of his soul.

Harry waved back at Lilith she smiled waved back at him, her baby boy didnt deserve this.

Seven pieces. One down... too many to go.

Tom Riddles journal.

But that still left them with six more artifacts. Luckily lilith was good at tracking things down.

How could a part of his soul be in her son though?  She pushed that idea out of her mind as quickly as it came. She didn't want part of Voldemort soul inside of her son. It was a preposterous idea. so she was at a fake game of Quidditch. They all stayed on the ground so aria got to play. They ran around chasing each other throwing balls through hoops. Aria was actually quite good, but of course she was. She was good at everything she tried.

Lilith was worried that Voldemort would come after aria next. Lilith didn't think she had many weaknesses but her children and her husband were certainly sensitive spot. But love did not make you it made you strong it made you dangerous it made you deadly

How would she find the pieces, how would she know what they were? She would have to do a deep dive into Tom Riddles life. Start from the beginning. See where his life went wrong. 

"Lilith?" Severus questioned reaching for her. She tensed before remembering where she was. He gave her hand a squeeze. "It doesnt do us any good worrying about it, you will give yourself an ulcer." 

"I need to figure this out." Lilith countered. 

"And we will" Severus assured kissing her cheek. "I thought we agreed to let them have this..."

"I know." Lilith murmured leaning into him, his arms wrapped around her. A soft sob came from her lips, she tried to hide it in his chest he held her tighter. 

"I love you so much." Severus whispered kissing her head. "We will figure this out. We will keep him safe."

"We havent been able to. I was gone, petrified for weeks-"

"And now you are back and we have a clue what we are dealing with." Severus reminded her. 

"And if we can't stop him?" 

"Then we fight like hell." Severus declared. "We get him ready." 

"He shouldnt have to deal with this." Lilith countered. 

"I know." Severus agreed. 

"mama did you see me!" Aria shouted waving over to them. 

"That was great honey!" Lilith agreed wiping at her eyes. 

"Can I have a real broom now?" 

Aria was at swimming lessons and draco and Harry were playing in the pool. Severus positioned Lilith in front of a punching bag. 

"Picture his face." Severus suggested. He put her headphones on and she took a deep breath, wrapping her hands. She didnt know how much time had passed as she beat on the punching bag but it helped, her hands were sore but she was so focused on the thrum of the music and the false sense that she was punching Voldemort that when she was done she was a little more relaxed and in desperate need of water. Severs smiled as she moved to him wrapping her arms around him. 

"I needed that." She agreed. "I think we need one of these." She added spinning around and giving it a hard kick. 

"Watching you do that was very sexy." Severus added wrapping his hands around her hips pulling her into him.

"Oh yeah?" She purred her lips meeting his as a demanding little girl came running up, wet feet  making little puddles behind her.  

"MAMA!" Aria shouted. "I can play now? I finished lessons."

"Lets all go down." Severus suggested. "We could use a cool down."
