Thank you for the reviews!They keep me going!
The next day Lily found herself wandering around the castle aimlessly. All classes had been canceled until further notice because, of a weird outbreak of Dragon Pox. Lily was lost in her thoughts about her portrait problem; that was until she noticed a familiar Silvery-Blonde head.
'What are you doing here?' she snarled.
'Well, if it isn't sweet Lily.' Scorpius smirked at her. She saw an evil glint in them; one that she knew all to well. It all started when her Uncle Draco wanted to surprise his wife with a vacation for their wedding anniversary. Of course, both her parent's agreed right away, to have Scorpius stay with them. Her brothers's and she were all very excited about Scorpius staying them. At the time Lily loved Scorpius but, like a brother. For some crazy reason, her mother thought it was a good idea to put Scorpius in her room because, Albus and James were in a room and Teddy was going to sleep on the couch down stairs. Lily objected but, what her Mother said was law in their house. Then again her Mother didn't know Scorpius like Lily did. That night when everyone went to bed, Scorpius decided that it would be a good idea for them to share a bed, they did. And to this day Lily still regrets it.
'You haven't answered my question.' Lily said.
'Lily, you wound me.' He said mockingly, reaching a hand out to caress her cheek. Lily jerked her head back when he did.
'You have no right to put your hands on me.' Lily said.
'I didn't hear you complaining the last time.' He smirked.
'You're a pig! You have a child on the way! I may not like Rose that much but, she is still family and I love her.' Lily glared at him, not taking her eyes off his cold grey eyes. Before he could respond though, the stone steps leading up to the Headmasters' office appeared, along with Scorpius' father and who was also Lily's Godfather.
'Lily, how lovely to see you.' Draco said while pulling her into a hug. She willingly embraced her godfather.
'Scorpius, have you seen Rose yet?' Draco, asked while letting go of Lily.
'No father, I ran into Lily before I could do so.' Scorpius glared at Lily. 'I shall go and find her then.' He said, with that he turned on his heel and made his way down the corridor.
'So how is your family?' he asked Lily, while leading her over to a bench out in the courtyard.
'From what I know they're all fine.' She said to her Godfather. He smiled, at her. He was such a sweet man she still couldn't believe what an evil git he was during school and, the crazy thing is that he agreed with everything that anyone ever said about him.
'How are your parent's?' Lily asked, she absolutely loved Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.
'They were actually asking about you the other day.' He said.
'Really?' Lily giggled. 'Do you think I could come stay with them for a couple days during the holidays?' she asked hopefully.
'Most definitely but, I will ask for you.' He said, reassuringly. Lily finally got the courage to ask him the question she had been trying to get answered for the last day or so. She knew that her Godfather was very intelligent. She could have asked her Aunt Hermione but, she didn't want to risk the chances of her bringing it up to her parent's.
'Uncle Draco, Can portraits have emotion?' she asked.
'No.' he said without missing a beat. Right there Lily lost all hope, as if her walls had crumbled down.
'But… there is Blood portraits.' He said, while looking at her. Hearing this, Lily perked right up. She looked at him waiting for an explanation.
'Blood portraits are different to the normal portrait. The painter uses the subjects' blood in the painting, henceforth "Blood Portrait" and this particular portrait doesn't awake when the subject dies, it lives as long as the subject actually and the portrait dies along with the subject so, the day that the person dies the portrait ceases all movement.' Draco finished. Lily couldn't believe what she was hearing.
'Thank you, Uncle Draco.' Lily said. Once she stood, her world went completely black.
Lily woke up in a weird place. She groaned, from sitting up so abruptly.
'Shhh, it's alright sweet heart.' An all too familiar voice said. Lily looked over to the orange blob that was beside her. The world became clear again when the person put, her glasses on her.
'Mummy?' she asked.
'It's alright, Draco owled me saying you passed out.' Her mother said while pushing the hair out of Lily's eyes. 'What happened?' her mother asked.
'Not sure, I just haven't been sleeping very well.' Lily lied, knowing all to well why she passed out. 'Where's Daddy?' Lily asked her mother.
'They finally captured that suspect that they have been looking for so, he had to stay for the interrogation.' Her mother finished. Lily nodded while rubbing the sleep from her eyes. They heard a loud bang of the hospital wing door being opened. Lily turned her head to see her curly-haired Aunt briskly walking towards them.
'I heard what happened! Hugo sent me an owl.' She said, while hugging Ginny and giving Lily a kiss on the cheek.
'What happened?' she finally asked.
'I just haven't been sleeping well.' Lily lied again. Her Aunt leaned over and placed her hand on Lily's
'O.W.L.S?' she asked, giving Lily a knowing look.
'Um, yeah, been studying like crazy.' Lily said. Her Aunt patted her hand. Lily sat there for a while listening to the two women talk, when a question popped into her head.
'Can I ask you two something?' she asked.
'Of course.' Her mother said.
'It's about Professor Snape.' Lily finally said. The two women glanced at one another nervously.
'Why?' her mother asked. Lily had to make up a quick lie, finally finding the answer.
'Well, in history class we are learning about famous wars and to my displeasure we are learning about the Final Battle and well, we have to do essays on war heroes and I got Severus Snape.' Lily said, satisfied with her lie.
'I believe Teddy had a project like that when he was still in school… yeah, he did but, fortunately he got his own parent's.' Ginny said. Thank you Teddy! You just saved me! Lily thought in her mind. Remember to give Teddy a super big hug next time I see him. Lily mused in her mind.
'What do you want to know about him?' Her Aunt Hermione asked, disrupting her thoughts.
'How did he die?' Lily finally asked. She knew her Aunt was there when he died she just never knew the exact details.
'Well, Voldemort attacked him with his pet Nagini, once Voldemort left where we were, your Father went over to do whatever he did.' She sniffed. ' I wanted to go over and at least stop the bleeding… there was so much blood, or even just take his body back but, your Father wouldn't let me. So we left.' Her unshed tears finally spilt over. 'It still haunts me to this day.' She finished, while Ginny gave Hermione a handkerchief.
'So he could have survived.' Lily said all of a sudden.
'Well, that could be true, I mean his body wasn't ever found when we went looking for it but, that is highly unlikely.' She finished. An hour later the nurse said Lily was free to go. Lily said her goodbyes, telling them both to give her love to the family. Lily stood there watching as the two women walked down the path to Hogsmead. When they were out of site, she ran straight to the Professors' Study. Everything she learned that day just made to much sense to her situation. Once she made it to where she needed to be she tapped her wand on the appropriate stones and the wooden door to the study appeared. She flung the door open so hard that the door hit the wall and, slammed it self shut.
'What gives you the right to burst in here unannounced, like that?' The silky baritone voice Lily had come to love said.
'You're Alive Aren't You?' Lily said anger obvious in her eyes. The Potions Master just smirked and leaned forward in his frame.
'I knew you were a smart girl.'
