Lily's P.O.V
It's been a month since Harry left. I haven't slept in our house yet, because I just can't think about being there alone. I got dressed and went down for breakfast. Hermione was sitting in the living room, and I sat next to her. I asked "are you ok?" She nodded, but I saw her eyes were watering. She asked me "how are you doing?" I sighed and answered "I guess I'm ok." We sat there for a bit, and then had breakfast. I decided I would buy the rest of the supplies for my potions room at home, so I told Hermione. She wanted to come with me, so we set off. After we bought our stuff, we went to my house, and I stood in front of the door a few seconds. Hermione said "open it when you're ready," and put her hand on my shoulder. I wiped a tear that had fallen, and opened the door. I looked at our couch, and the memories I have with Harry and I came back. I decided to keep walking, but I saw the stairs, and more memories came. I felt my eyes water, and Hermione saw me. She hugged me and said "we can come back later." I shook my head and said "I need to do this." She nodded, and we got into the extra room. I set up my cauldron, and then started organizing my potions supplies cabinet. Hermione was helping me with labels. After we finished, I told Hermione "I-I think it'll be g-good for me to go u-upstairs." Hermione said "I'll go with you." I nodded, and then walked upstairs. Hermione was behind me, and then we got up. I took a deep breath, and opened the door to my room. I looked at our bed, which was still not made from yesterday. Hermione put her hand on my shoulder, and I felt a tear slide down my face. I looked through our clothes, and saw that Harry left a sweater. I took it, and put it on. Hermione smiled and said "that's a great idea." I nodded and said "let's go back so you can get yours." She nodded, and we left. I sat down and stared at my journal. Nothing new. A tear threatened to fall, but then this message appeared:
Lily,
Harry's hurt-Ron
I felt my heart drop down to my feet. I couldn't breathe. I managed to scribble:
Ron,
How hurt is he?
I waited anxiously, but then this appeared:
Lily,
He got sliced in his stomach. But they say he'll survive. He's coming home soon.
I started crying, and Hermione asked "what's wrong?" I choked out "Harry g-got h-hu-urt!" She gasped, and then hugged me. I let everything out, and then I told her "he's coming home early." Hermione said "we should get ready." I nodded, since he was on his way. I waited outside anxiously. After what seemed like hours, Harry apparated. He fell down, and I ran to him. I shouted "Harry!" I knelt down on the ground when I got to him, and opened his blood stained jacket. It was pretty bad, but I'll use my healing powers. I asked "who did this to you?" He growled "Scabior." I was mad. I told Harry "hold still. I'm going to heal you." I traced his slice, and he groaned. A tear fell from my face. When he was healed, he sat up. I attacked him in a hug and said "I could have lost you." He hugged me tight and said "sshh. You wouldn't have." He gave me a kiss, and I kissed back. I've been waiting for too long for that. Harry pulled away after a bit and said "I have to go back." I started crying and said "I could have lost you. I don't want to think about losing you." He noticed I was wearing the ring he gave me before he left. He smiled and said "I'll be careful. I promise." I sighed, but let him go. I gave him one last kiss, and then he apparated away. I walked back inside and sat on the couch. Hermione saw my face, and said "he left?" I nodded as a tear fell. She came and sat next to me on the couch, and I laid my head on her shoulder. She whispered "it's ok. He'll be back." I then choked out "what if he's not?" She said "don't think about that." I couldn't help it. How am I going to get through the other 3 months after this? I let everything out on Hermione, and she let me. After a few minutes, I finally got the courage to write to Harry on my journal.
Harry,
Are you ok?
After a few minutes of staring at the journal, this appeared:
Lily,
Yea, I'm fine. Thanks for healing me. I love you so much. You are the most important person in my life, and I promise I'll be careful.
Then I wrote this:
Harry,
I love you too. Please, please, PLEASE be careful. I don't want to lose you.
He then answered:
Lily,
I will. I promise.
Then he had to go, but I felt happy that he was ok. I decided to go to bed, and Hermione wanted to also.
