Lily returned a few minuets later again but this time she came back with a man. A man who looked a lot like Harry.

"Everyone," Lily said, catching the attention of the people in the room. "this is my husband, James, Harry's father."

James was smiling at everyone until he saw Elijah, pointing his finger at the Original. "You."

"Me?"

"YOU!"

"Me."

"What's going on?" Rebekah asked.

"You made my baby sister pregnant." James said, glaring at Elijah. "She was just nineteen years old. Way too young."

"James, first of calm down and second of all I got pregnant from you when I was nineteen." Lily said, sitting down herself and pointing at the chair next to her, expecting James to sit down as well.

"Uhm." James said, sitting down, not knowing what to say at that.

By November the potters had their first Quidditch match and to say that the Potters were nervous would be an understatement.

The twins were sitting in the dining hall, together with Ron and Hermione. Nora next to Ron and Harry next to Hermione.

"Take a bit of toast, you two. Go on."

"Ron's right. You are gonna need your strength today."

"I'm not hungry," the two twins replied at the same time, making Ron and Hermione share a look on how scary it was when they did that, saying the same thing in union.

"It is scary." Bonnie said.

"Twins are scary sometimes." Caroline said.

"They're not really twins." Damon noted.

Kol turned around to Damon. "Have you been watching the same movie as us, because they were born on the exact same day and-"

"By different parents." Damon interrupted.

"They could be twins." Kol finished. Anyone who had eyes saw that the two kids looked at each other as twins.

"Ron and Hermione are right. They should eat something." Elijah said, worriedly, not paying attention to the discussion of his younger brother and the older Salvatore.

"Yeah, that's right." Finn agreed.

Professor Snape walked by. "Good luck today, Potters. Then again, now that you've both proven yourself against a troll. A little game of Quidditch should be easy work. Even if it is against Slytherin." He gave suspicious looks to Hermione and Ron, glared at Harry, and didn't look at Nora, which she was really glad with. She didn't want him ruining her fairly good mood, like always.

"I don't like him. He's supposed to be a teacher and he just spends his time annoying everyone." Rebekah said, agreeing with her niece.

"I just don't like him." Kol said.

"Yes, me too." Elijah said. Honestly, just one dirty look at Nora from Snape was already enough to make him hate the Potions master.

"Fucking hate him." James added.

"James, language."

"Sorry, Lily-flower."

As he walked away, he limped. Only Hermione and Harry looked at him limping away, while Nora and Ron were arguing about her not eating.

"You have to eat, especially in the morning before a game. It's unhealthy not to." Ron pushes Nora's plate closer to her. If anyone knew something about food it was Ron.

She shook her head. "I feel like I'm gonna puke just by looking at it."

"It's perfectly good food." He argued.

"You don't have to play Quiddicht in less than an hour." She argued back.

Harry, noticing Snape's limping, said. "That explains the blood."

"Blood?" Nora asked, happy to stop her fight with Ron about her eating.

"Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so that he could try and get past that three headed dog."

"But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping." Nora finished Harry's sentence, directly believing him.

"But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asked.

"The day we were at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults." Nora thought back about their birthday, when they had visited the bank and remembered how Hargid had picked up something little from the floor in vault 713.

"He said it was Hogwarts business, very secret." She spoke and Harry nodded eagerly in return.

"So, you're saying-" Hermione started but Harry already finished her sentence. "That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants."

"This is supposed to be a school right?" Jeremy asked, if you can't even trust a teacher to look after your child?

"Something tells me that they're gonna do something stupid." Stefan said, and many agreed with that.

"Scared, Nora, Harry?" Wood asked them, standing ready to go out on the Quidditch field, next to Harry. Nora was standing behind them, in between George and Fred.

"A little." Harry answered and Nora didn't. She was nervous but yet excited.

"That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game."

Harry frowned.

"What happened?"

"Er, I don't really remember. I took a Bludger to the head two minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later." Harry's breath started to speed up and Nora looked at the twins.

"Before I was thinking, let her play if she loves it so much but I'm not sure anymore." Elijah said. He did not want his daughter, who could die at any moment, to play a sport were she could be knocked out for even more than a second.

"Still looks cool to me." Jeremy said and everyone looked over to him, weirdly. "Well, not the hospital part but can you just imagine being able to fly?"

"I can't believe mini prongs and mini pads are gonna play their first Quidditch game." James spoke, excitedly.

"We'll make sure no Bludger comes close to you, Nor." George reassured her. She nodded at him. And George said the same thing to Harry.

Then the gate opened and they all stepped on their brooms and flew into the field. Harry and Nora staying close together, even though they knew they would separate soon, they could still find support in each other right now.

Nobody had ever seen the two apart. Where Nora went, Harry went.

"Just like you and Jasmine." Lily said to Jasmine, but Jasmine was just more grown up than James. James was always found to be doing some kind of prank and Jasmine could always be found with a book in her hands.

"Hello! Welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season. Today's game, Slytherin versus Gryffindor!" Lee Jordan's voice could be heard loudly from the microphone.

Both houses started cheering for their own team. Even the Hufflepufs, especially one very loudly, and Ravenclaws were supporting Gryffindor. Now that they had the two Potters on their team, there was no way Slytherin would win, no matter how good they played. After all everybody, even the none Gryffindors, knew James and Jasmine Potters were the best Chaser in their time at Hogwarts.

"The players take their position as madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game!"

"Now, I want a nice, clean game from all of you." She wanted them, before opening the box with the balls.

The balls flew up immediately, but all in different directions. "The bludgers are up, followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember the Snicht is worth 150 points." Lee commited as the snitch flew around Harry's head, before doing the same thing with the Slytherin Seeker, who was busy staring at Nora, so were many others, like Adrian Pucey, Cedric Diggory and Fred Weasley.

Not many knew this but if you asked a Slytherin who of the Potter twins they liked more, the answer was Nora.

"Oh hell no. This is not gonna happen." Kol voiced his thought as first. But the other Mikaelson men and James were thinking the same: Nora was to young to date and way too good for any guy out there.

"No. Not under my watch." Elijah added. He didn't want to see her get hurt.

"The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game." Madam Hooch threw the Quaffle high in the air. "The Quaffle is released and the game begins."

As soon as Lee had finished, Nora went towards the Quaffle, catching it. Marcus Flint, one of the Slytherin Chasers had seen her directly and flew right beside her, pushing against her, almost making her lose grip of her broom.

"Oh, son of a bitch." Klaus and Rebekah said at the same time.

"That's just so not cool." Jeremy said and the girls agreed with him.

Elijah was just thinking of a vow he once made: never hurt a child. Maybe he could break it? Just this once.

She saw Angelina and threw the Quaffle to her, Flint just pushed her one last time before going over to Angelina, who already threw the ball in the hoop, scoring for her team.

"Angelina Johnson scores! Ten points for Gryffindor!"

Harry was clapping for them, mostly Nora, who he had seen almost fall because of the Slytherin. Angelina and Alicia flew past Nora, both high fiving her. They both admitted they hadn't been such a good Chaser in their first year. Or so driven to be a good one.

"That's my niece." James spoke proudly.

"Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Flint." The Chaser tried to go to Flint, trying to take the Quaffle back, but it didn't work. Lastly Nora tried but Marcus just stomped her in her stomach, making her fall off her broom, hand covering her belly and groaning in pain.

"I swear to god. I will kill this kid." Kol declared and Klaus and Finn agreed.

Yes, Finn was not the type to choose murder as a solution but this Marcus kid was making him really angry.

Elijah was thinking about returning the movement and throw Flint over the pitch.

"That's not aloud is it?" Elena asked.

"Of course, it isn't, Elena." Rebekah rolled her eyes at the Doppelgänger's stupid question.

"Kick him back." Jeremy was saying.

"What is she gonna do? The guy is two heads taller then her." Damon said and Caroline snapped his neck.

"She could do that."

Although Caroline was right for snapping Damon's neck, making some people in the room very happy, they hoped Nora wouldn't start with snapping necks. They wanted her to be as innocent as long as she could be.

Without the guilt of taking someone's live.

"I don't think she's gonna do that, Caroline." Stefan said. "She's a bit too young to even think about murder."

"If I was there," Lily said to James. "I would've hit him with a broomstick."

Many others, even some Slytherins, stood up from the stands to looks if it betters.

Flint shot the Quaffle at the hoop, but Wood made it in time to make it fly back. Fred throws a Bludger at Flint, hitting him successfully in his back. "That's what you get for stomping Nora." Fred muttered under his breath, looking at Nora, who was clearly still in pain, but continued playing.

The Chaser passed the Quaffle quickly, so that the Slytherins couldn't follow. As Alicia passed the ball to Nora, she shot it fastly and right into the hoop.

Harry cheered again, loudly, so did the Gryffindors. All calling out her name.

"Another 10 points to Gryffindor!"

Pucey had the Quaffle now, making his way over to the Gryffindor hoops, but with no success the Quaffle didn't go through it. Wood just smirked while throwing it at one of his teammates, that person being Angelina.

"Give me that." Marcus gripped the bat of the Slytherin Chaser next to him and threw it at Wood's head.

"Oh, foul." James and Kol said at the same time.

Nora, seeing this, wanted to go make sure Wood was okay, but she knew she couldn't if she wanted to win and anyway Wood wanted that too, so.

Nora followed Alicia. Adrian and Marcus were flying next to George passing the Quaffle around before scoring.

Harry knew without Wood defending the hoops, Slytherin would win, so he continued to look for the Golden Snitch.

Marcus and Adrian saw Angelina with the Quaffle, both decided to fly next to her, trapping her between them. Pucey took the Quaffle from her, just in time to get away from the stands, were Angelina went through and crashed on the ground.

He threw the Quaffle through the hoop, making it twenty - twenty for both of the teams.

Harry finally caught sight of the snitch and followed it, until his broom started moving out of itself. Not having any control over it he kept going forwards and backwards.

Everybody noticed something was wrong with his broom, Nora's too, who was rolling around with her broom.

"I knew I did not like this game." Elijah muttered while looking anxious at the screen.

"Does this normally happen?" Rebekah asked the married couple.

"No."

"What is going on with their broomsticks?" Hagrid asked worriedly. Hermione looked through the binoculars in hope to see something about Nora's broom, but her gaze fell on Snape.

"It's Snape!" Hermione said to Ron. "He's jinxing the broom!"

"Jinxing the broom? "What do we do?"

"Leave it to me." Hermione said before walking away and off the stand.

Nora fell from her broom in the time Hermione was making her way over to Snape. She just hangs on it, with one of her hands, the pain in her stomach not really helping her situation. She saw Harry still rocking back north and south with his broom as she felt her hand slip away and everyone became silent.

Fred, seeing what was happening, fell directly towards her and caught her.

And George to Harry.

"Thank you Fredie." She said, but was still watching her own broom and Harry's. Now finally Hermione was under the stands of the teachers.

"Thank God." Finn whispered, thanking the red head who had caught his niece.

Everyone in the room -except for Damon who was still lying on the floor- could breath again, glad that the two Potters are okay again.

"Lacarnum Inflamarae." Hermione whispered softly with her wand pointing at Snape's cloak, setting it on fire.

Snape not noticing that because of his focus on Harry and Nora. Until somebody said something. "Fire, you're on fire." He quickly stamped the fire out by pushing back the people behind him, making Quirrel fell of his seat.

Harry could sit back on his broom normally and Nora spoke to Fred. "I need to get to my broom, Fred. I don't wanna lose my first game. I wanna make my mom proud of me."

Fred quickly nodded before flying to her broom, which was slowly falling down, and she jumped on it.

While Nora was trying to make more points for Gryffidnor, Harry and the other Seeker went after the snitch. As they were going down the Slytherin stopped just in time not to fall to the ground while Harry made a sharp turn, so he could stand on his broom, holding his hand out to catch the snitch. Of course he fell to the ground.

Nora stopped playing as she went down to him. He looked like he was gonna puke everything he ate last week out. But when he opened his mouth, the snitch flew out.

"He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch."

Madam Hooch blew on her whistle. "Gryffindor wins!" And everyone, except the Slytherins started cheering while Nora wrapped her arms around Harry. "You did so great, Harry!"

"YES! YES! YES!" James yelled. He was so proud of his son of of Nora.

"See, I never put my trust in the wrong person." Kol said.

"They did so great." Rebekah and Bonnie said at the same time.

"Yeah, they did." Elijah said with a wide smile. Seeing her this happy made him happy.

"Are you okay, Nory? I saw your broom?"

She kissed his cheek. "Are you okay cause I'm fine Harry, Fred caugh me."

"You fell?"

"What? No, what are you talking about?" Nora asked him obviously lying, but at the moment he wanted to ask something, Hermione came running towards them, and immediately her arms fell around Nora. "You're okay, Nora." She spoke, more calming herself down, than Nora.

"I'm fine, Mione." Nora spoke, hugging her back.

"You did great, Nor." Ron said after congratulating Harry.

"Thanks, Ronnie."

𖥔 ݁ ˖ִ ࣪⚝₊ ⊹˚

"Nonsense! Why would Snape put a curse on Harry and Nora's broom?" Hagrid asked them, like they were crazy, while walking with them over to his cabinet.

"Because he is an annoying liar piece of shit." James said.

"Yes." Caroline agreed.

"Who knows?" Nora said as Harry went on. "Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween?"

Hagrid's face tensed up. "Who told you about Fluffy?"

"Fluffy?" Ron and Nora asked at the same time. Who in this entire universe would ever call a three headed dog Fluffy.

Nora loved all kinds of animals since she was a young girl.

But a three headed dog went a little too far. Hermione had made her realize that a three headed dog was not cute at all. The same with spiders and ladybugs, they were not cute, not even close. She used to love ladybugs when she was young but one story changed everything about her love for the little red animals.

One time when they were seven, Dudley had some of his friends over to play. They knew about Harry and Nora being in the house and they had decided to scare her.

Knowing she was listening, Dudley told his friends if you touched you killed them and you would die soon after with the most horrible death.

Harry had been listening too and knew his cousin was lying. "He's a liar, Nory, don't believe him?" He had said. But she was still scared to this day to come close to one.

"I hate bullies." Lily said. She couldn't believe her sister was letting her son turn out like that. A bully.

It disgusts her.

"I hope they scare him back just like with the pig tail." Caroline said.

"That thing has a name?" Hermione asked, confused.

"Of course he's got a name. "He's mine. I bought him off an Irish feller I met down at the pub last year. Then I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the-"

"Yes?" Harry asked.

"I shouldn't have said that. No more questions! Don't ask any more questions. That's top-secret, that is." Hagrid warned the kids and Ron rolled with his eyes.

"But Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it." Harry went on, believing fiercely that Snape was the cause of all this.

"Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher."

They stopped walking. "Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when I see one. I've read all about them." Hermione spoke to Hargid.

"You've got to keep eye contact." Nora said, adding to Hermione's statement, just like the muggle born girl, she had been reading all about the spell, before coming to Hogwarts. She did it so her parents would be proud. Yes, she didn't know who her father was, but she still hoped to find him in the future. The least she could do now, was make her mother proud.

But she had already made Elijah more proud then ever before.

"And Snape wasn't blinking."

"Exactly." Harry said, nodding. And Hagrid sighed deeply before speaking. "Now, you listen to me," he pointed at all of them. "All four of you. You're meddling in things that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel."

"Nicholas Flamel, you say?" Nora asked him.

Hagrid looked away quickly. "I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that." He muttered under his breath while walking away.

"No, Hargid, wait. You can tell us. We're very trustable." But he just kept walking.

"Nicholas Flamel. Who's Nicholas Flamel?" Harry asked and looked between the other three.

"I don't know." Hermione and Nora answered at the same time.

"Hagrid is not very clever is he now?" Klaus asked. "It's not very smart off him to tell.

"He's trying his best." Lily answered. "He sometimes just let things slip out. But I agree with you. It was not very smart of him. Especially if they're Potters."

"Thank you." James said with a cheeky smile.
