She was terrified. Without a doubt terrified. She had not thought there was any chance in hell that Voldemort would turn up here, especially now that things had settled. And yet there he was and all she had time to do was grab her son, run out the flat and apparate out. How the hell did he get in there? Did the village think sending Voldemort straight into her home was some sort of joke? When she turned up in the middle of the street that she clearly must have imagined in that moment and walked into a cafe, taking a seat that looked out at the window.

She was rather relieved when James Sirius said he would come and get her, and she kept Luke close to her the entire time. She didn't even have a bag or anything for him. She would have to find a shop at some point to buy all his essentials, unless she managed to go to her flat very quickly. She could leave Luke with the boys and go. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she pressed a kiss to Luke's forehead but kept an eye out for anyone she had to get away from.

She moved easily into Jamie, making sure that she had Luke tight in her hold. She didn't want him to end up hurt and she also knew that when they arrived at the flat she would have to help him. It was always odd the first time you apparated and even more so as a baby, or so she assumed since it never happened to her at this age.

They arrived with a pop and Luke was instantly working up to crying. Bouncing him in her arms, she gently hushed him as she kissed his forehead. She really didn't want him upset, more so now when she was definitely feeling a little shaky. But then Al was speaking and she met his gaze, trying to give him a smile but failing rather spectacularly.

"I went in to get Luke from his cot and he was standing over his cot. I managed to knock him back, I had my wand on me, I just grabbed Luke and ran as fast as I could."

"Had to make sure the coast was clear. Didn't want to risk running right into him," Jamie knew that Al was just concerned for him and their grandmother and Luke so he didn't take offense to his brother's words. After putting his wand away, Jamie turned towards Lily as he began thinking of things he could transfigure into a cot for Luke, "How did he get in? Wouldn't you have heard it if he'd apparated?"

Al understood why his brother had taken the time he had but still couldn't quite shake the last dredges of worry that had been weighing so heavily on him during those long ten minutes. He and James might not get along all the time, and might be very different people in a great many ways, but he loved his brother and couldn't stomach the thought of anything happening to him. Not to mention, if something had happened while James was out playing hero and Al was pacing the flat, their sister would have been positively livid.

Brow furrowing a bit in thought over the story Lily had told, Al waited until James had asked his question before quietly pointing out, "If he went after Luke, that likely means he's from before he managed to get to dad when he was a baby." Al paused, realizing that neither his grandmother nor his brother had near enough of a Slytherin mindset to realize the true implications of such a thing. As he'd yet to truly formulate precisely how that could work to their advantage as of yet other than knowing it could, he made a change in the subject. "Though before we sort out how to deal with him, we need to make certain everyone else is safe first."

"We have wards up. That's what I don't understand; how he could get in even with wards up preventing people from apparating inside"

Lily closed her eyes, trying to calm herself once again as Luke screamed a little more. She tried to hush him and after a while of bouncing she managed to calm his screams to sniffles. She wanted to try and keep him happy and it wasn't going to happen if she kept getting worked up and what Al said only made her want to panic more.

"So he's after him? Oh god," she had to calm down and she really did blame the shock at seeing that face over her sons cot. "Yes. All of them, can we get them here? Or just...anywhere so I know everyone is safe."

Giving up on the search for something to transfigure, for the moment, Jamie approached his grandmother again, holding his arms out slightly, "Want me to hold him for awhile? Might be easier for both of you to calm down." Jamie was nowhere near an expert on babies, but he knew enough that babies usually sensed when the person holding them was upset or something along those lines and he knew that his grandmother needed to calm down, not that he blamed her for being worked up of course all things considering.

"Who all is here? Grandad, Sirius, Remus, Lils." He glanced over at Al while he waited to see whether or not his grandmother would accept his offer or not, "Aunt Hermione and Hugo too, right?"
