"Oh no, no my lord, lord Voldemort.. I only meant, perhaps if we were to do it without the Potters.."
"NO! It cannot be done without them and it will be done exactly as I say."
"I will not disappoint you my lord."
"Good. Gather our old comrades.. send them a sign"

A few moments later...

"Nagini tells me the old caretaker is standing just outside the door... move aside wormtail, so I can give our guest a proper greeting...
AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"Elodie? El!"

Elodie woke up to Hermione and Ginny's candle being shoved in her face.

"Are you alright? Do you want me to get mum?" Ginny asks
"I, I'll be fine."

Her hairs were stuck to her forehead, due to her sweat. She was panting heavily

"Come on El.. we've got school today. Hermione, are you alright?" Ginny notices Hermione looking down, with a worried look on her face.

"It's just... Harry had the same thing happen to him on the morning of the World Cup...
two Potters having nightmares... that's never a good sign."

At this, El ran up to Ron's room where Harry was sleeping.

"Harry wake up, I need to talk to you."
"Oi El! This is my bedroom and I need my sleep!"
"Well I need to talk to Harry about something far more important than your beauty sleep so if you don't mind.. leave. Your mothers been calling you for breakfast too."

Ron scoffed, muttered something under his breath and ran downstairs to get his breakfast.

"What is it?" Harry asked

"I heard you had a nightmare on the morning of the World Cup... you need to tell me everything."

"Well... it was sort of like I was standing beside the scene.. but there was an old man... a caretaker in fact. He went to this old house where you know who, wormtail, and-"
"The same man who was standing over me at the World Cup."

El started walking nervously around the room.
"What do we do?" She asked Harry
"There's not much we can do.. apart from wait until something comes to us."

"Oi, mums been calling you two down for ages," Fred burst into the room
"are you guys okay? Do you need 5 more minutes?"

"Nah we'll come down now." The pair followed Fred down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Sorry about that Molly. We just had to discuss something."
"That's okay pet, help yourself as you're going to need a full belly for the journey today!"

———

"Goodbye Molly! Thank you so so much for taking us in over the summer, you have no idea how grateful we are."

"Oh dear! I was no problem at all! We loved having you over and we do hope you join us again for Christmas" Molly gives a kiss to your cheek

The rest of the family says their goodbyes to their mother, and Elodie picked up her luggage and cat - Astrid, and boarded the train.
