"I finally found you snake." Lily giggled out as she looked at Helena, who was too busy staring at Tilla's body, "She was so easy to get to, wandering around Diagon Ally looking for the tailors, it was so beautiful to hear her screams." Lily said with relish as she watched tears of sorrow roll down Helena's face, the elite stood frozen as they watched their princess break down, and Tom felt his rage build up to a boiling point, "Tom, my wand." Helena said softly, making him look at her quickly, she was still on the floor, with laboured breathing, but her voice was steady, "Elite, now." Everyone of the children snapped their fingers, making their dresses and suits turn to black clothing for fighting, Helena herself had her dress changed to black jeans and a shirt as she stared at Lily, the red haired girl quick to throw a killing curse at Helena who artfully caught it in her hands, "I feel like you all have forgotten who's mansion you have barged into." She said softly, she moved her fingers in a twirling motion before pointing at Lily and making a slashing motion with one finger, before everyone's eyes, Lily fell to the floor, dead, cuts appearing on her chest. "You are in my home!" And with that one kill, war had broken out.

James found himself with Sirius, Remus and Peter, the four boys fighting back to back, there were man familiar faces, some of older schoolmates and some of friends, but when they looked at them, they saw not the years of friendship they held, just hatred for the side they were on, which made it easier for them to end their lives. James kept looking for Helena, and kept finding her fighting members of the Order that were much more experienced and she was coming out on top, she had some slight bruising on her cheeks from getting blasted into pillars but other than that she was okay. A scream from the top of the stairs caught everyone's attention, Dumbledore had Tom on the floor, the younger wizard was under the Cruciatus curse and was looking straight at Helena, "I-I L-Love you s-s-sister, her gasped out, before Dumbledore killed him. At that moment, Helena forgot all about the Horcruxes that would keep her brother alive, and frankly she didn't care, she and James ran to the stairs and stood side by side. "You children, think you can defeat me! The great Albus Dumbledore!" the old man cackled, Helena shook her head as she felt her right eye melt away to black, the sludge dripping down her cheek, "You sick, sick man, you do not know what you have done!" James and her started casting spell after spell, protecting each other if something particularly dangerous was heading their way, finally Helena cast a Bombarda at the stairs, making the old man fall to the rubble, before James ended it all with a well aimed Killing curse. The fight was over, many comrades were lost, but Helena looked at her brother's face, and at the happiness etched on the survivors, and she knew it was not for nothing.

"So Uncle Tom had horcruxes and pretended to die?" Harry asked his father, James chuckled, "Yes, your mother was so mad she nearly break all the Horcruxes herself, but she loves your uncle you know that." Harry nodded, "Alright dad I better go before the other students think I have a pass at this school." James nodded, "What do you have next?" Harry thought for a second, "Defense with mother today." James chuckled as he let his son leave the class, Harry raced to class and sat next to his best friend Draco Malfoy. "All right class, as you know I am Helena Marius Potter, I am the other teacher who will be teaching you Defense along with Professor Riddle." She said as she pulled out her textbook to teach, a young muggleborn in Slytherin picked up her hand, "Yes Miss Granger?" Hermione sat up straight, "Miss you and the other Transfiguration Professor have the same name are you two married?" Helena chuckled and adjusted her glasses, "Yes Professor Potter and I are married, and Professor Black is my best friend as well as your History Professor Lupin." Hermione nodded and pulled out a notebook when another student from Ravenclaw picked up his hand, "Yes Mister Rogers." "If you and Professor Potter are married, is Harry your son." Helena looked up slightly, a small smile on her face as she looked into the eyes of Harry, her only son Harry James Riddle-Potter. He was the exact copy of James, except for his crimson blue eyes which he inherited from her, "Yes Mister Potter is my son." "But Professor, I heard from my parents that you and Professor Potter were a Slytherin and a Gryffindor?" Helena chuckled, it had shocked the entire faculty, which consisted of Remus, Sirius, Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix, Andromeda and many of her other followers, when Harry was placed in Hufflepuff, yet she and James had just laughed, Harry was a kind person, who loved everything and anything, he was Helena, except his temper wasn't so bad, "Yes James and I were in very different houses, but we wouldn't have changed Harry for anything."

That night, all the houses were abuzz as they ate, everyone talking about their History lesson where they had learned about what Helena and the rest of the death eaters had done, "They seem to admire you a lot more Helena." Tom chuckled from the headmasters seat, Helena was feeding James whom had insisted she do it as she rolled her eyes, "I blame Remus for all the questions I was asked." Remus laughed as the hall was filled abuzz with talking, Helena's eyes caught Harry's, he was sitting with Draco and Fred and George Weasley, he sent a smile his mothers way when James kissed her cheek, "I love you Helena." He said softly, she turned to look at him and hugged him, "And I love you James."
