The other side of Draco || Enemies to lovers

~Chapter 41~

"Ahh, Scarlett May and Harry Potter, come to die?" Voldemort asked when we came to the forbidden forest, Harry told me on the way that fear of the name only increases the fear of the thing itself.

"Tom Riddle" I said as bravely as I could

"And Scarlett May, wondering why your here I suppose?"

"You could be right"

"Well let me tell you something, a long time ago..." I suddenly felt something shap hit my mind and suddenly I saw this:

Flashback

Thomas May was standing by himself

"Ooh look, it's little loner Tom" Lucious smirked as he walked by.

"I suppose you haven't seen Snape, have you?" James Potter asked Thomas, cracking his fingers

"No" Thom shook his head

"What a shame" James laughed "well then find him or else I might have to find someone else to hurt" James looked right at Thomas and he quickly scurried away with James following closely behind.

"What's up my little Snapey friend" James said walking toward Snape, then he turned to his friends "who wants to see me beat Snape" he called, they all cheered "I said WHO WANTS TO SEE ME BEAT SNAPE!" All of his friends cheered again, this time louder "Expelliarmus" he said, disarming Snape.

After they were done bullying Snape, James turned to Thomas.

"Well done Tom" he clapped him on the back "do you mind if I walk with you to charms?"

"Sure" Tom looked much happier after James started talking to him and being his friend.

October 31st - in the morning

"Hey James, happy Halloween" the now grown up Thomas May said as soon as James opened the door to Godric's hallow

"Like the old times Tom"

"Mind if I drop by here?" Asked Tom

"Like every other year you have, it's become a tradition now Tom"

"So it has, that's why I'm here this year James"

Thomas entered James's home and put 1 year old Scarlett down

"Scarlett, go play with Harry" Thomas spoke to the girl, as if she could understand, she unsteadily walked to Harry, who was standing in the lounge.

"Scarlett, now" Thomas scolded baby Scarlett, still though, she kept running away and hiding.

"Mom is going to leave you" Ivory called to Scarlett

"It's fine Ivy, you can leave her here, we'll look after you" Lily said assuring her friend

"If only it's fine with you Lily dear"

"Of course it is"

"We'll pick her up at 10.00 then?" Ivy said then called to Scarlett "Bye Scarlett" but Scarlett still remained hidden behind the couch.

"Oh James" Lily said to her husband a few minutes after Ivy and Tom left, "we still need to buy the pumpkins"

"You go dear, I'll stay home" so Lily went to the market and James stayed home, they laughed and talked, then had dinner, all forgetting shy, quiet Scarlett who was now asleep behind the couch.

1 year old Scarlett's POV

I watched as a bald man entered Harry's house, my first thought was intruder! But I couldn't be sure so I crawled up the stairs after the man. Some people think I can't climb stairs it's annoying really when people underestimate you, of course I can climb stairs, just not to steadily.

"Avada Kedavra" the man said, I don't know what that means though

Mrs Lily started screaming, she was probably happy.

"Avada Kedavra" the man said again, Mrs Lily screamed again, she was now very happy.

I finally reached the top of the stairs and went into Harry's bedroom where he was sitting on the bed, I went and stood next to him.

"Who's this?" Asked the man, I wanted to say Scarlett May but I didn't know how to talk yet so I just screamed.

"Well I guess I have to kill you both then"

Wait, did I hear the man right?

He pointed his wand at us

"He's going to kill us" Harry said to me

"Silly kids screaming" the man said, of course, all the man could hear was us screaming to eachother like babies. ;)

"Promise we'll stay friends forever?" Harry asked me

"Avada..." the man said

"No, this is your falt, if you weren't sitting on that bed then we wouldn't be killed" I said back at Harry

"But Scarlett, we're best friends, remember?"

"...Kedavra"

There was a green light and I turned away, when I looked again, the man was gone.

"Are we dead now?" I asked bored

"Yes" Harry replied.
