•CUURENTLY....•
•(She's 0 years and 1 month(s) old. It's June 4th.)•
•Fred & George are about 3-4 years old.•
•Hadrian is about 1-2 years old.•
"Saw something?"
"Her eyes glazed over after Sirius stopped moving. Potters are descendants of the Perevell line. They were the descendants of Thanatos, the Greek God of Death. They were also favored by my sister, Death. It's rare but some could foresee deaths." Her eyes widen and she covers her mouth.
"Lillyflower?" James says, confused as she silently cries. Lilly goes to him and gently takes Cherish. Cherish latches onto her too but her cries are quiet.
"What did Lord Morpheus tell you?" Fleamont asks, concerned. She tells them what she was told and they all pale. Hadrian sees his sister is still upset and walks over to Sirius.
"Bad Paddy! Bad! Make Sissy cry! Corner!" Hadrian points at the corner. They're all shocked. Sirius goes and faces the corner, amusing them all. Hadrian takes Cherish and sits down. He rocks back and forth, humming. It soon puts her to sleep. He looks at Remus.
"Moony not fav, I fav." He sticks out his tongue. Then he gets up and waddles away with his sister.

•2 WEEKS LATER....•
•(She's 0 years and 1 month(s) old. It's June 18th.)•
•Fred & George are about 3-4 years old.•
•Hadrian is about 1-2 years old.•
"Hey profess-" Lilly is cut off by Cherish wailing loudly upstairs. Lilly subtly taps her left thigh, which James sees. He nods from behind Dumbledore. She apologizes and goes to 'deal' with Cherish. She finds Hadrian trying to calm her down with stuffed toys.
"Mommy."
"Yes Hadrian?"
"Old Man, bad man."
"Why do you say that?"
"Jus' know. An she no like." Lilly frowns and picks Cherish up. She stops almost screaming but she doesn't stop crying loudly. She wards the door, which calms Cherish a bit more but not much.
"Cherish, baby, I need you to calm down. I can't help if I don't know what to do." Cherish stops wailing but her mismatch eyes are full of tears. She looks to Hadrian for help. He takes his little sister from their mother. He looks into her eyes before sitting down. He closes his eyes and puts his forehead to Cherish's.
"Hadrian?"
"Shh. She's talking." Lilly's confused but waits as Hadrian seems to focus.
"Too fast." His expressions relaxes slightly.
"Mommy needs what?" he asks, confused.
"A flower?" A book falls off the shelf. It seems to fall open to a random page about Petunia's.
"Petunia," Lilly realizes.
"Cherish, sweetie. What about mommy and aunty Petunia?" Cherish starts making whimpering sound, mimicking a dog. Hadrian pulls away and opens his eyes.
"Remus?" Hadrian looks at Lilly.
"Sissy says mommy needs new bwot'er or sissy. Flower hurt us after mommy and daddy sleep in the ground. Red s'uff from owies is from mommy. Flower shares it with mommy so she's plays knight against snake man... But flower hurt us."
"Blood wards?"
"Shields, like a knight but fwom mommy sleeping in t'e gwound with daddy." Lilly sits with Hadrian and pulls both children into her lap. Hadrian is on her lap with Cherish in his arms. Lilly thinks for a few minutes.
"Sissy says Moony is mommy's bwot'er. An mommy's Moony's sissy," Hadrian says. Cherish starts babbling and Hadrian pays close attention. Cherish stops and Hadrian looks at their mother.
"Sissy says, 'mommy needs new bwot'er or sissy. Aunt Tuney bad, she hurt us. She no like mage. We s'uck wit' aunty 'cause red owie s'uff..." He trails off, unable to finish. He points at a shield on a knight toy of his.
"It a shield!... But wit' mommy's red owie s'uff. An aunty hurt us."
"How does mommy do that?" Lilly asks. Hadrian looks at Cherish and she starts babbling again.
"Mommy goes night night to shield us. She says you d-raw but it not like lettews in book. It like mommy's special book fwom Aunty Alice."
"Sacrificial protection and ruins? I can work with that." Cherish starts babbling again for a few moments.
"Need mommy red owie stuff, no good," Hadrian translates. Lilly's confused by this. She recalls what was just said.
• "- Aunt Tuney bad, she hurt us. She no like mage. We s'uck with aunty 'cause mommy's red owie s'uff...." •
• "T'at!... But wit' mommy's red owie s'uff. An aunty hurt us." •
"Petunia hurts you. So that won't work... Unless I do a sibling blood adoption ritual. Remus-" 2 books on creatures and magic laws fall. She falls silent.
"Cherish, does a law change to keep Remus away?" Cherish sniffles and babbles softly.
"She say yes," Hadrian answers.
"Damn prejudice bastards," Lilly mutters.
"What about grandma? Mage 'ink to family," Hadrian says.
"I don't think that'll work." Cherish starts babbling, seeming a bit happier. Hadrian pays close attention.
"She say grandma good with drawings. Grandpa good with magic cooking." Lilly laughs at 'magic cooking' aka potions. Cherish continues babbling.
"She ask if it more strong if daddy 'ink wit' life for life too? T'e 'ink wit' t'e gwowing wocks. T'at go to grandma and grandpa and Paddy."
"You're a little genius," Lilly tells Cherish before kissing her head. Cherish babbles something.
"She want Moony read mage book to her. Or book of wowds."
"I'll see what we can do... Do you know when..." Cherish yawns before babbling.
"When t'ings walk t'e stweet."
"Things what the street?"
"Candy?" Hadrian asks and Cherish nods slightly.
"Halloween," Lilly realizes.
"Shit. That's not much time at all... But Saheim, magic will be stronger than normal." She has the kids stay in the room and goes downstairs. Luckily she's just in time for Dumbledore to leave.
"Lillyflower? Are you alright? You're a bit pale."
"Get Sirius and Remus. We need to get to your parents, now. I'll explain once we're all there."
"Lilly, you're worrying me."
"We die on Sahaim and our kids grow up abused. That's what Cherish saw." His eyes widen before he turns serious.
"Go to Potter Manor. Tell my dad what you just told me. An that only I, Sirius, or Remus, or my parents are allowed near you 3. He and my mom will take you somewhere safe. We'll meet you there."
"James, Potter Manor is the safest property."
"No it's not." She looks confused.
"My family's even older than Hogwarts, Lils. There's things only the head of house is supposed to know. This is among them."
"Should I take anything?"
"Your wand, that's it. My mom will have you all strip and change. She'll probably check your wand. My dad will give you a potion. Make sure you drink it. Don't ask, just do it. Go." She rushes upstairs, grabs her kids, and Floos to Potter Manor.
"Lilly?" Fleamont says, confused. Lilly does as James told her. The kind Fleamont she knows is instantly gone. He stands straighter than a board and takes both kids.
"Wand." She hands over her wand.
"Follow me," Euphemia tells her daughter in law. Fleamont disappears down the hall with the kids. Soon Lilly's in a knee length Greek dress and tights. Fleamont returns with the kids changed. He has vile of potion in hand. Hadrian is holding a rope.
"Drink." She takes the vile and downs it. In about 10 seconds she feels sick. Euphemia hands her a bucket. She holds it and gets extremely sick. After she's done the bucket is vanished. They all hold the rope with Fleamont holding Cherish. Euphemia holds Hadrian's hand.
"Peverell Castle." They're Port-Key-ed to a castle.
"I am Fleamont Potter, former Head Of House! Lock down the war wards! Only the current head of house, James Fleamont Potter, Sirius Orion Black the 3rd, and Remus John Lupin are allowed in!" Instantly there's pulses of magic.
"Fleamont, what's going on?" They look and see a portrait of Godric Gryffindor.
"My family is not only being threatened but hunted and manipulated. The rest will be explained after my sons, blood and in arms, arrive." Godric nods and takes a seat in the portrait. James, Remus, and Sirius soon arrive looking ready for war.
"Great Grandma Cassiopeia, could you watch the kids?" James asks a portrait.
"Of course. I'll need their names."
"This is my son, Hadrian. This is my daughter, Cherish." The arriving and present portraits pause.
"A girl has been born?" Godric asks, surprised.
"Yes."
"Hadrian dear, get your sister and follow me," Cassiopeia Potter neé Black tells the boy. He takes Cherish and follows her from portrait to portrait. The rest sit around the War Room. The living sit at the table.
"Start from the beginning Lilly," James tells his wife.
