Lilly's pov
"I heard they have eyes on Potter" I said too my brother as I entered the library. "Yea, they think they do. They are just waiting for them to slip up" my brother said "yea..." I said with a sigh "did you end it with him?" My brother asked "what?" I questioned "back in July, I'm not stupid. I know you went too see him" he said "yes...I did" I said, he only nodded before turning back to his book. But seconds later my father burst in
"Lilly make tea, Draco main hall now!" He said "what is it dad?" I questioned "they've found them" he said running out, my eyes widened. I ran and got the tea ready and when I entered the main hall three people were dragged in, Hermiones eyes caught mine as she fought to get free. I placed the tea on the table and held my wand tight as I joined my family "Draco...is this Harry Potter" my father asked, Draco slowly walked over and nodded no. After a couple of minutes he asked me. I walked slowly over, my heels clicking the marble floor under me. I nealt down
"oh what happened to you" I said "Lilly...is it?" Bellatrix spat, I turned his face side to side before turning to them "no...it's not" I said, turning back to Harry. Tears in my eyes "Give me the girl, Lilly and Pettigrew bring them down to the dungeon" my aunt said, I grabbed Harry, holding my wand to the back of his neck as we walked. Ron's shouts being the only thing I heard "Peter...keys" I said, he handed me them and I unlocked the dungeon "in now!" I spat, shoving both boys in "I can handle this Peter" I spat "it's only a couple of blood traitors anyway" I said "of course.... Miss Malfoy" He said before walking up the steep stairs.
I turned and watched him before turning to the boys "are you okay?" I asked "shut it Malfoy!" Ron spat "I'm on your side dickhead, Luna...mister Ollivander" I said, they came out of the shadows "find a way to get them out of here please" i said before hearing steps "your aunt would like the goblin...miss Malfoy" Peter said "stand back" I shouted, the others moved and I grabbed the goblin and dragged him over too Peter "now leave!" I said, as he brought him up. 5 minutes later Hermiones screams were all we could hear "we need to get out of here!" Ron shouted "I have a plan" I said
"Father!!" I screamed, I was dragged up the stairs by Harry who had my wand to my neck "Daddy help me please!" I cried "let go of her at once!" My father shouted "how did this happen!" My mother shouted "Him!" I pointed, too peter, only to one shoved by Harry "now now now....any sudden movements Potter and your young friend here gets it" my aunt said, suddenly the only thing we could hear was squeaking of screws being undone, I looked up and screamed "Aunty Bella move!" She shoved Hermione our way and Ron caught her as the chandelier fell "
"How dare you! You nearly killed me" she screamed at a house elf "Dobby didn't mean to kill...just badly hurt" the house, elf Dobby said "Harry use my wand I whispered "why?" "Just do" I said "Get them!" My aunt shouted. I put my hands in front of me and shouted "protego!" I yelled, a blue shield formed infront of them as Harry and Ron battled for the wands. I saw Harry dive for Draco's and grab it before they all grouped up and sobbed stood with them "Lilly now!" Harry shouted
I let the protections go and jumped into the group as my aunt threw a knife. I felt my stomach twist as we landed on what seemed to be a beach, I looked around and seen a clear blue sky and smiled. I hadn't seen one in what felt like years "Hermione..." Harry said, I turned and saw him holding Dobby. My aunts knife had hit him "Hermione!!" He cried again but she couldn't help....a tear ran down my cheek as Harry's Face fell "let's close his eyes" I said, walking beside him "look...now he's only sleeping" I said, Harry and the others buried him. I stayed away, standing by the water. I heard footsteps approach me and I turned around, all 3 of them stood in front of me
"do you have the mark?" Ron asked "Excuse me?" I questioned "you know what I mean Malfoy" he spat "Hey! Don't start calling me Malfoy all because you're pissed off. I just saved all of your asses in there and haven't even heard a thank you" I spat, I turned around before sighing, rolling up the sleeve of my left arm and showing them "why would I ruin my body with such a dirty mark when I don't believe in what they're fighting for" I spat "then why did you leave with them?" Ron shouted
"to save your fucking family you absolute dickhead" I shouted back. He stepped back and looked at me "what?" He questioned "at the start of last year....I refused to join them...until the threatened to kill Ginny, and everyone else in your family. And I couldn't let them do it so I said okay....I played the puppet, i done the minor bit of work he wanted done..." I said, looking down "bloody hell" Ron said, he dived at me. Hugging me tightly, I began to cry and the others joined
"I'm so sorry" I cried "don't apologise...." Hermione said turning to me, "you're safe now...I promise" she said wiping away my tears, but as she did her face changed slightly and she looked confused. She took out a tissue and wiped under my eye some more and then gasped
"Lilly..." she said, her hand covering her mouth. I turned red and looked down "Lilly who done that too you" Harry asked, lifting my face "my parents believe in magical punishments....my aunt is more on the physical side" I said "do you have anymore?" Ron asked "guys honestly it doesn't matter" I said walking away, but Harry yanked my cloak off me too reveal my arms that were covered in small cuts and bruises, almost like I'd been scratched by a cat "oh merlin..." was all Hermione said, I yanked my cloak off hardy and put it back on "I said it doesn't tester. Now come on, you have wands to get looked at" I said
"We'll need to get into Bellatrixs vault to see if she has the horcrux" Harry said "are you sure that's hers?" I asked Hermione looking at the strand of hair in front of me "positive" she replied. I nodded "we need to do some shopping before hand" I said "what?" Harry questioned "they've got too look the part. I won't be long" I said before flooing off. When I arrived back my arms were full. "Geez it's scary how real that looks...here put this on, Ron you put this on. I'm going to go change" I said. I came back in a green formal knee length dress, black heels with a black cloak and witches hat "why do you need the witches hat?" Harry asked "it's a sign of power apparently" I replied, they nodded "let's go, and quickly" I said.
We flooed the bank and me, Hermione and Ron slowly walked while Harry and the goblin were behind us under the invisibility cloak "I would like to enter my vault" Bellatrix (Hermione) said "you're wand" the goblin said "excuse me?" She replied "Ms Lestrange you know we need your wand, in order to allow you too pass" the goblin said "excuse me but when has that ever been a thing, it's very clear Goblin that it is Bellatrix Lestrange now...my aunt has asked to enter her vault so I think it would be wise to do so...don't you?" I spat
"As much as I believe you miss Malfoy I can not just let you enter" "Well this is outrages! Wait till my father hears about this. You are all disgusting creatures. How dare you disrespect people much higher up than you" I shouted, just then Harry cast the spell and the goblin let us through. I sighed a sigh of relief before being led to the weird train that takes you to your vault.
Harry climbed in before holding out his hand for me to get in after "I didn't know you could be so....so much of a Malfoy" Harry said, "I bring it out when I have too" I said, a tiny smile reached the corner of his lips. I leant against his shouder until suddenly we were all splashed with what seemed like a waterfall "oh no...." I gasped looking at Hermione
"it's wiped away all potions and spells" Hermione said, the goblins stood up and began giving off "perfitus totalous" I said, pointing my finger at him. "This is my aunts vault" I replied, climbing off the cart. I ran my hand against the snakes head, and whispered the password "how did you know that?" Ron questioned "before he who must not be named died the first thing he taught my aunt this locking spell that would protect all her belongings and whatever. This is one of them, it seems simple but if you touch one of those snakes wrongs it can trigger a major alarm"
"now be careful....knowing my aunt she's some weird charm on her things" I said and before I knew it thing dbegan deplucationg "Did no one listen to me!" I shouted "I've got it!" Harry shouted "out now!" I yelled, holding back the clutter before getting out and locking the safe.
The way we escaped was most definitely the craziest idea to ever come from Hermione, we jumped on a dragon. Definitely not the safest way out but it got us out in the end. When we arriaved at a safe place to sleep I offered to take the first shift to keep watch, Hermione and Ron going straight to sleep. I sat out in the cold for an hour before I heard movement in the tent, the zip came down and Harry came out, holding a warm cup of coffee in his hands
"here you go, two sugars in it and all" he said, handing me the cup "thank you" I said with a smile. I hadn't my cloak round me and my makeup was off so you could clearly see the bruises and cuts "if you're like this how bad is Draco?" Harry asked, his hand gently grazing my arm "not as bad, he listens...I don't" i said, not meeting his gaze. He nodded, "What does that word say?" He asked, pointing to a bunch of letter carved in my arm
"sanguis fuit proditor....it means blood traitor in Latin. My aunt wasn't stupid, she knew very well what my intentions were towards the war. I got this when she got me back to the manor the night of dumbledores death" I said, my voice calm but shakey "why didn't you stay? We could have protected you. We could have protected the Weasleys" he said "you know I couldn't do that!" I said, standing up "why not?" He questioned "it would have saved you all of this" he replied, standing up after me
"because Harry you don't understand, i don't have the same support you have! You could fuck up millions of times and still be showered with love, with fame....with respect. That isn't the case for me, once I show my face at that school I'm sure I'll be killed on the spot" I shouted, he stepped back "You may think your life is hard Harry and you may think the Malfoy are a bunch of twats which yes we are.....but we are having struggles just as bad as yours and no one will help us through them the way they will you. It's almost definite that after this war, my father and mother will be dragged to court and eaither sentenced to life in Azkaban on the dementors kill and thats that"
I "Lilly..." he said, reaching for my hand and grabbing it. He pulled me into a gentle hug, scared to hit the bruises. He held me for awhile before we both looked up, his green eyes looked tired but he still smiled. He moved his hand to my cheek before gently placing his lips on mine. I smiled against the kiss, my hands making their way to his hair. We kissed for awhile before he pulled away, I smiled and he did too as his forehead rested on mine "I promise you....I'm not leaving this time" I said
