James Sirius Potter, Alice Minerva Longbottom, Lily Luna Potter, and Hugo Arthur Weasley were the only ones awake in number 12 Grimmauld Place that night. James and Alice were always close and they could always talk to each other so naturally they walked together to the living room and just talked about their worries. They hadn't even tried to sleep and were in the same clothes they had on when they had travelled back in time here. James had a dark blue crew neck sweater with black jeans and white vans, while Alice had on lace up boots an oversized sweatshirt on top of a short sleeved white crop top, mom jeans that covered the boots and the over sized sweatshirt was tucked in too her jeans stylishly. She had small thick silver dangling hoop earrings that didn't connected at the back and a silver chained necklace. That's when they heard a noise. They both raised their wands and cast the lumos spell to see in the hallway and there she was. Lilly Luna Potter looking terrified seeing who it was they lowered their wands quickly making sure not to scare her more and looked relieved. Lilly ran into James arms and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong munchkin?"

He asked softly stroking her hair. He loved his little sister more than anything and though he acted like a tough guy on the outside he was really a softy. Sniffling Lilly whispered,

"Jamie are we safe are we ever going to see daddy again? Not this daddy he's nice and he tries but I want MY daddy..."

James looked heart broken and Alice felt a surge of sympathy for the little girl in front of them. The Potter siblings were openly very very close if you messed with one of them you had the whole family to deal with.James picked her up into his arms and cradled her slowly mumbling words of soothing while he sat down and placed her in his lap she buried her face in his neck and they just held each other. After a little while Hugo walked in.

"C-can I sit with everybody?"

He asked quietly.

"Of course Hugo are you ok? Do you want Rose?"

Alice asked.

"NO! Sorry I wuv Rosie and she's great big sister for teaching me things but she not that great at being soft wike Ali... that's mommy's job"

He said suddenly then looking ashamed

"That's perfectly okay Hugo do you want to sit with me?"

Alice asked warmly her smile gentle and inviting. He nodded his head and sat with her on the couch.

"Cuddles"

He murmured hugging her tightly. Alice turned sideways picked him up and sat him in her lap. She hugged him just as tightly. She hummed softly in his ear and swayed a little laying his head on her shoulder he welcomed the comfort. Soon enough both kids were asleep in their laps and Alice and James lay their heads on each other's shoulders. Slowly their breaths were even and they were fast asleep taking in each others body heat eagerly against the cold dreary air that lingered in this grimy version of Number 12 Grimmauld Place. They woke up to a crack still groggy they thought somebody else had joined them but little did they know this person wasn't a friend to them all of a sudden everything was black coughing and spluttering they tried to light their wands but it wouldn't work when they felt a sharp pain in the back of their head a cold hard metal object had collided with their skull. Knocked out cold not being able to defend themselves James, Lilly, Hugo, and Alice were dragged across the living room and dissaparated with another satisfying crack. Nothing to show they had ever been there in the room except a single silver earring left behind by Alice.
