"Is he actually going to die?" Holly asked after a few minutes of awkward silence as I made sure RJ is stable enough to be left alone.

"Nah, it will just give him a killer headache and stomach pains that could rival period cramps." I shrugged snuckering at my own reference.

"What about lily?" Holly asked

"What about her?" I said, tiktlting my head confused then  remembered how she was when I first saw her.

Scared.

"If  fake James was impersonating the real James what about Lily? Is she an Imposter or being held against her will..?" Holly said making a really good point and I actually thought about it

"Will shall find out!" I exclaimed, prompting her to lead to where lily was.

Holly led me through winding stairs, and up a few flights of stairs till we reached a door that looked like it hadn't been used for decades except the handprints that were on the handles.

Holly opened the door slowly and then room was quite large easily recognized as an attic, at the end their was a stuffed green armchair (surprisingly) a short stool beside it, a large red rug underneath the chair and a huge painting on the wall, where the armchair was facing.

I could see red hair peek out of the chair as we walked towards out and my breath bewitched as the head turned towards us.  Sad and blank green eyes stared straight at us, there were bags under the eyes and the skin was wrinkled and stressed, causing an unhealthy grey tinge to appear.

She looked horrible.

After staring at us, quite blankly she turned her head back toward the painting which I finally realized was a huge tapestry of a tree that held mini portraits, quite identical to the Balck family tree.

"Shes always here and she always stares at the same portrait and name" Holly said  before looking at me "she stared at you but then after first year she moved and she had stared at Sirius then she moved again and now she stares at something thing that doesn't exist. There" Holly finished with a point at the empty space next to my portrait of me as a baby

"I honestly would have found that creepy but in this current situation I still do" I said "I think she's being continuously drugged, and if not the cursed" 

"I've read that for a curse to work for so long it needs to be applied depending on the power of the caster" Holly said and I nodded agreeing with her.

"Meaning that someone close to the family must be doing this and depending on the point of entry, it could either be by food or contact of when the victim and caster are alone"

"Damn I never knew that your were this smart!" I said with a smirk, proud at my sister.

"It is what it is" Holly said with a shrug of her shoulders

"We must find out what curse/drug age being dozed with" I said starting to list of all the possible options that could cause this effect.

"But what if the caster used a combination? That wouldn't take forever to find out and we dont have time, if the caster mines the location of the Potter manor that he/she can come here if they found out and who knows what they'll do!" Holly shrieked hysterically

"Get your shit together" a new voice spoke
