Narrator's POV

A year after the Ron Incident, Hadrian carefully put his brand new, four-month old baby boy, Ambrose, into his black stroller.

Also on the same stroller, the one-year old Anastasia was also seat-belted in.

The two-year old Alistair stood next to the stroller, clutching his green dragon-shaped kite while his big sister, the five-year old Anaelle, stood next to him holding her blue dragon-shaped kite.

Once the Neko had both of his tiny little ones into the stroller, he put the diaper bag and picnic basket into the bag cubby of the stroller and led the other two little ones towards the front door.

Once at the door, they got out and locked the door behind them, Hadrian pushed the stroller slowly into the forest surrounding the home, following a dirt-pathway that led to a large meadow.

Around five minutes later, the family made it to the meadow and the Neko set the picnic blanket on the ground in the shade and set the infant and smaller toddler on the blanket and the other two children ran around with their kites, careful to stay in mummy's view but far enough that their shouting and laughter didn't wake the infant.

Hadrian smiled as he watched his little Amby sleep and his Ana play with her toes, he had wanted his little ones to enjoy the perfect summertime weather before Ellie started kindergarten and the garden at home was far too small to play in.

In the business sector of London, Tom Riddle sat in his office watching security footage of product idea meeting he had had in the morning, trying to locate the weed that was selling his ideas out to competitor, Fudge Tech., and so far he had narrowed it down to two suspects: Percy Weasley and Dolores Umbridge.

Both were high up in his company, both were at those meetings, both were ruthless to further their profession.

But, since Percy was also his brother-in-law, he would be 'interrogating' Umbridge first.

As if on cue, the toad-like woman opened the office door and walked inside, "You wanted to see me, Mr. Riddle?"

"Yes, take a seat." Tom said, causing the pink-clad woman to sit in the chair in front of his desk, "You have handled shady business, have you not?"

"Yes." Umbridge replied, to get as high as she had you had to

"I have a job for you that I'd like you to keep quiet about." Tom informed, "Of course, you'd receive a raise and extra money for completing it."

"What is it, sir?" Dolores asked, greed calling out to her

The man turned his computer screen towards her, showing a map with a blinking red dot and four blinking green dots, "My Neko has been venturing into the forest near my home with our children. I want you to scare him, terrify him in the forest so he never wants to return and stays within the house. Don't hurt him or any of my children, but scare him how ever you wish then I will arrive in the 'knick-of-time' to 'save the day'. But don't worry, I'll shooting blank bullets."

"Will tomorrow do, sir?" Umbridge asked, trying to smile sweetly but it looked like a donkey's smile

"Yes, be ready by 11am, that's when he leaves." Tom replied, dismissing her

As the 'woman' left, the CEO leaned back in his chair, smirking: the interrogation had gone well, by scaring Hadrian he would have rights to kill her and scare his lovely back into the safety of home —he couldn't protect him if he was in the wilderness, after all— he'd being killing two birds with one stone.
