DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything that J.K. Rowling had written in her Harry Potter Series, but would like to thank her for letting me use her characters to my own twisted pleasure.

Also I would like to thank to reviewers that I have gotten feedback from so far. They made my day I hope you enjoy this next chapter as much as you have the other three.

Chapter Four

"What wrong with her?" Matt asked as soon as he was pushing out into the hall.

Jeremy didn't know how to tell the boy in front of him that his family member was reliving the attack and now thought everyone was out to get her to hurt her in some way or another. Thinking best just to wait till her psychological healer came to talk with the girl and her brother.

"Well..." he asked the now silent healer. "Lily has never in her life been afraid of me and now being here for a few hours she scared witless." Matt finished angrily.

Jeremy stood his ground thinking the pro's and con's in his head if he should tell or not, deciding in the end just to tell that way the healer could get further in his progress since he would of had the time thinking it over.

"She reliving to nights abuse. Being rape by someone sometimes leaves the victim feeling emotionally stress and fearful of any body coming near them."

"But she will come out of this state?" Matt asked worried.

"Yes, with time and understanding," Jeremy said. "There will be another healer here tomorrow to work out what happen that night with her as well as you if you want help. But until then time is the only thing going to help her."

With that said Jeremy turned to leave Matt with his thoughts to sort out. Knowing not only did Lily need to figure things out so did Matt.

Matt moved back over to the closed door to Lily's room, looking through the door window to see Lily's still form laying on another bed again. Goosebumps trailed down his spine as he stood there watching her chest fall up and down. Of all the years Matt had known Lily she was never a still sleeper, usually moving her position every hour. So seeing her now laying still, was scary in way he never really thought of.

Not wanting to watch her any longer be put his back up against the door and slowly slide down till he was sitting on the floor with his back still against the door.

What promise did I break? Matt thought to himself. It must have been really important if it was one of the only things she remember. So what was it?

Slowly going over of every promise he had every made with Lily he couldn't think of the one she was thinking of. Matt couldn't believe all what happened to Lily, but why her. If only he followed his instinct earlier when she didn't show up on time. If only he had gotten there sooner then maybe he would have been able to save her from the pain she was now going through or at least some of it. If only...

Dumbledore now stood in front of Matt who was still on the floor with his hand in his hands now.

"Mr. Baker come lets go some where to talk about a few things," Dumbledore said looking down at his student with sadness.

Matt looked up at his headmaster confused. He didn't know what to do. He was supposed to be in the house that showed its cleverness knowing everything came for a reason, but he felt like he knew nothing now.

Dumbledore stood in front of Matt waiting for the boy to raise off the floor, which he did after a few minutes and follow him to a place to talk.

After a few minutes of the silent walking Matt began to notice Dumbledore turn to head down a hall that Matt had not seen before. The hall was lined with pictures of old wizards and witches in various uniforms asleep in their frames.

"Where are we?"

"We are still in St. Mungo's, Mr. Baker if that's what your worried about. This is a shortcut that leads to the food hall. I could use a cup of tea and you might want to have something to eat as well."

Matt didn't feel hungry though he knew he hadn't eaten since lunch with Lily almost day and half ago. Food just wasn't high on his list priorities right now but he wasn't about to tell Dumbledore that. Instead he just shook his head in agreement and continued to follow the headmaster when they start walking again.

When they reached the end of the hall there were two double doors that lead in a room that looked like his muggle primary school cafeteria. Inside a few people sat here and later with some healers in green, white, and blue uniforms; talking or reading, while others just sat quietly staring into space.

Matt just wanted some where to sit and think his thoughts straight; but instead just continued to follow Dumbledore like a mindless idiot walking over to the counter where a small creature sat on a wooden stool.

"Tea, please."

"Yes, sir," said the creature jumping down from the stool as another came and took its place.

Dumbledore looked down at Matt to order something. Though he was stuck looking at the creatures move back and forth behind the counters as they worked preparing food and drinks.

"Their house elves," Dumbledore said as he look back to elf who brought him tea. "Thank You."

Matt looked up to Dumbledore then back at the house elf, trying to think of anything he wanted yet nothing came to mind. So thought some caffeine would at least keep him up when he did get rid of Dumbledore later.

"Coffee with some milk and sugar," Matt said to the same house elf as he watched it jump back down from his stool once again.

Within minutes Matt and Dumbledore were sitting at one of the tables in silence.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Dumbledore finally asked taking a sip of his tea.

Matt looked around the room at all the people in the area then back to Dumbledore and shook his head.

"You know, Mr. Baker you can only get better if talk about it. Miss Evans is going to find that out soon enough. So if you really want to help her get your feelings out now. So when she comes to talk to you you'll be ready to listen whole hearted to her words, her story."

Matt shot a glare at Dumbledore. What did he think I would do ignore her and look at the wall when she's ready to talk. Why does he even think I'm here for my own amusement. I'm the only one who is ever there Lily before, I'm still going to be here long after. I may have went to him before for help but I don't want to now.

"Your angry I can see?"

Angry was an understatement to Matt he was enraged.

"Well, yes I'm angry you just said that I would turn away from my best friend in her most time of need. I've the only one who was there for Lily. Every time she came back from her house and I'm the one who patched her back up and listen to her fears and cries. I'm the one who promised to keep her safe when she couldn't..."

It clicked the promise he had forgotten, he had made it last summer when she came to his house with bruises and cuts all over her body once more.

Dumbledore watched as the expressions changed on his student's face. He didn't really know what had cause this change but he now knew he was now looking at a horrified boy in front of him.

"Do you want to talk now?"

Matt looked down at his drink as a tear slide down his check into the coffee.

Why that promise to break? he thought.

"I just want to be back with Lily. Can we please just go back up stairs to her room."

Dumbledore looked at Matt and nodded his head knowing that Matt wasn't going to open up to him today. It was a silent walk back through the halls to Lily's room. When they arrived Dumbledore let Matt in and said he would return some time later to talk with the two of them before leaving.
