"Damn James, it hurts".
"Lily just stay with me, it's gonna be alright."
After 5 minutes, Healer Brown said, "It's a boy".
"Obliviate","Obliviate".
Quickly, I took James' invisibility cloak and donned it on my son and put a silencing charm (silencio) on him.
After this I started crying (at least I tried to).
James and Healer Brown together asked, "What happened?"
"What happened? What do you mean? You just said that the child died and You just banished his body away", I told
sobbingly.
"Damn, first the Longbottoms and then the Potters ", the nurse muttered loudly and said," I'm sorry"
"It's alright" is all I could say before James cut me off.
"It's okay Lils, we can always try later." I slapped his arms playfully and took the necessary potions to get me
discharged from the maternity ward in St. Mungos.
Telling James I needed some time alone , I stepped out of the hospital while he payed the bills. With Harry (which
we decided before he was born) still in my hands under the invisibility cloak, I went to a nearby alley which was
dark.
Alice Longbottom , as planned was waiting for me with her baby and my Godson, Neville. I greeted her and then we
went in an awkward moment of silence.
Alice broke the silence asking, "Do you think this is a good idea, Lily?"
Frustrated at the question she asked for the 30th time atleast in the last 2 days, I asked, "Got a better one?"
Then we held out our wands as if expecting a bus.
The knight bus did come and out came my childhood friend Sven Shunpike.
"Lily?"
"Hey Sven, I need your help."
"Go on", he said in a businesslike manner
"Could you take my son Harry here and Neville and get out of the country and keep him in some kind wizarding
family's doorstep? I'm sure you know some."
"Why Lily?"
"Because, England or Scotland isn't safe with Voldy boy around…..oh and please take this letter with them."
"Okay Lils, see ya around. And don't worry about the milk and food, I will take care"
With that he took both Neville and Harry and the bus vanished.
Soon after, Alice apparated back to Longbottom manner and I returned to James
Sven Shunpike got into the bus with two babies, one on each hand and was reminded of his 6 year old son Stan
who was in hiding with his wife. The bus took off as soon as he had placed both of them in shrunken bed.
Today like any day after the war begun was a busy day. There were passengers who wanted to get as far as they
could from England. The Knight Bus had jurisdiction till Greece. This was where most of the passengers got off. After
dropping them off, the bus had to make their trip from there to England.
Upon Sven's request, the Knight Bus traveled through the magical dwellings of Bulgaria in Sofia. Sven told them to
stop when they came across a house, that Sven was sure would take care of the children. He laid the two babies
down (in a crib which he had found in the bus), along with the note. Sven enterd the bus and it vanished just
after dawn.
So how was it? Review and let me know what you think
