She pulled back slowly, uncertain of what to do next. She kept her arms around Sirius' neck, but he pulled his away from her, and released himself from her grasp. He stepped back, eyes slightly wide, movements cautious. She looked around her; the Marauders were staring at her, all with a mix of fear and excitement.
Some people knew their nicknames; no one called them by them, except each other, that was the unwritten rule, because no one knew about Remus, or the rest's animagi, no one. Lily knew this, because it was the same rule with her brothers. So she knew that she was in trouble. She had revealed something she shouldn't of, she would have to explain, but she couldn't. Because even though telling them who she was and where they were was simple enough, answering the questions that followed wasn't. Telling them that all but one of them was dead, she couldn't face it.
"Who are you?" said a quiet voice from the back. It was Lily, her grandmother, oh God.
"How do you know my name, and what gives you the right to call me by it?" Sirius was speaking in a dangerously low volume, yet his voice echoed just as loudly. Lily panicked. She did something that she knew she shouldn't; something that she hadn't done in a while. She told the truth.
"My name isn't Luna." She began, "my real name is Lily" she looked straight to her grandmother for a reaction, there wasn't one. But a hand gesture to carry on. She took a deep breath. "My full name is Lily Luna Potter" there were gasps to be heard around the chamber, she ignored them, and carried on. "My father is Harry Potter, and his father is James Potter" she looked at the ground, then up at James, who was standing there, eyes wide, mouth agape, and completely stoke still.
"Uh….um….yea so um….." James tried to speak yet nothing coherent came out, so he gave up.
"Should I continue?" Lily asked, when nods followed her question, she carried on. "You are in the chamber of secrets, but not in your time, you have traveled over 50 years into the future, this is my time." She was trying to make it simple, mainly because she didn't entirely know anything, but also because the others were in shock and your brain doesn't work as well when this happens.
"We traveled in time?" asked Remus, who looked slightly amused if anything.
Lily nodded.
"Bullshit!" came a loud husky voice from the back. Oh great. "We haven't traveled in time, she is not your granddaughter," he said pointing at Lily when facing James, "and-"but as he tried to continue Lily interrupted him, by screaming.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD AND HOLY IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN WORLD SHUT THE FUCK UP!" she shouted into his face and he cowered back, but she wasn't done yet "YOU ARE THE ONE MALFOY I DON'T LIKE, YOU WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE YOU ARE A DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A FATHER, HUSBAND AND PERSON IN GENERAL, YOU TREAT ANYONE WHO ISN'T PUREBLOOD LIKE VERMAN WHEN IN ACTUAL FACT YOU ARE THE VILE CREATURE! AND ONE MORE THING THAT REALLY GETS ON MY TITS? YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE!" she finished her one breath rant red faced, breathing hard, and giving the world's best death glare. Lucius looked perplexed, like no one had stood up to him like that before. She calmed her voice slightly before continuing in a dangerously low tone "when you are with me, don't speak unless you're spoken to, even then, think very hard about what you're going to say." She turned her back on him, flipping her hair into his face as she did so. "Now," she said, clasping her hands together, speaking to the rest, "what now?"
