A/N ok so I am going to skip forward here. It will help the story move and get you to more LP/CW action! This chapter starts during the final battle, right before harry approaches Voldemort.
A New Start
LILIAN POV
"Ah Lilian, my gem. Beautiful to see you again. Done fooling around with the stupid order and rejoin me?" Tom Riddle said in his low voice. I realized after one look at Bella's face that he was using his seduction voice. Again.
"No I came here to tell you that thanks to you idiots my godfathers are both dead, my godson's Mother is dead, MY Close friend Fred is dead and countless underage students were murdered. Not to Mention I passed Pansy Parkinson lying face down on the ground. I recognized her death as the work of Dolohov and will be informing her parents. And I warn you if you even think of touching my goddaughter I will destroy you. Same goes for her family and my brother. Got it Bastard?" I said looking him in the eyes. I heard those fatal words murmured from behind me and spun just in time to see Green light shoot out of Dolohov's wand and hit me in the chest.
CHARLIE POV
When Nott carried Lilian out of the forest it was all I could do to keep from killing him. She was pale and lifeless. I knew what had happened. HE set her down at my feet.
"Bellatrix says Lilian loved you. I just want you to know it was Dolohov who killed her. I loved her like a daughter. I will not participate in this fight anymore when it is killing innocents. I will quietly and remorsefully take my punishment whether it be a Dementor's kiss or a cell in Azkaban. But I am sorry for what I did and what has happened." I nodded. Flitwick stepped forward and led Theodore away. I fell to my knees and cried over my Love's lifeless body.
"Baby. My Love. Don't Leave me. I Love you and I'm so sorry. Please don't leave me. Come on please." Then I heard a miraculous sound. "POMFREY! SHE IS BREATHING PLEASE HELP!" I yelled. She and my mother came running.
"It c-c-can't b-b-be. No. Sh-sh-she w-w-was dead." Molly said after examining her. I carried her inside and ran for reinforcements.
LILIAN POV
"Mom?" I asked. A group of people stood around me. "Dad? Remmy? Dora? Siri? Sev? Is it you. But you're… Which means I'm…? No no no. What about Harry? And… and… NO!" I said falling to my knees. Remus came over and wrapped his arm around me.
"Shih. Cub it's okay. Your brother knows what needs to be done." I realized I could not cry. "Now baby, sometime you will get to join us."
"But not today." Sirius and Sev said at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Yes sweet heart not today. Somebody who truly loves you has the power to bring you back." My father said.
"I'm sorry for everything. Honestly I am. I Love all of you. More than you know." I said.
"We know baby doll. It's alright. Take care of my little boy for me okay?" Dora said. I nodded.
"I love you and I'm so sorry. Please don't leave me. Come on please." I heard a voice say. I felt tears hit my head. I looked up and then right back at my family. My Mom stepped forward and hugged me.
"Go on love its okay. We will be waiting for you when your time comes. And always remember that we love you." She said I nodded. A staircase to a door appeared and I took it slowly. When I reached the top and turned to say goodbye, they were already gone.
HARRY POV
With Voldemort defeated and all eyes on me, I walked over to where Charlie stood with my recently revived sister. "Lilian." I said quietly. She turned and smiled.
"Oh I knew you could do it harry! I knew it! Are you all right? No broken bones or major lacerations, no brain injuries or concussions no…" I placed my hand over her mouth.
"A few bumps bruises and cuts but I will survive. I've definitely had worse." I said. Molly was doting over Ginny. I spotted my friends and decided. "Lily. Come with me?" she nodded.
"Put your cloak on or we will never get there." I nodded knowing she knew where we were headed. When we got to Ron and Hermione she beckoned for them to follow. They got up and followed her out. On the way we passed Peeves who was flying through the corridor's singing: We did it we bashed them wee Potter's the one! Now Voldy's gone Moldy so let's have some fun.
Lilian spoke first.
"When I died, I saw Tonks. She asked me to take care of Teddy. Can he live with me? She said. I nodded.
"I need a little time away from any reminders of Remus. Only time will help." She nodded and I knew she understood.
"And the thing you dropped. The one that was in the snitch. Avery brought it to me. I think I'm going to keep it just for luck. I don't plan on using it." She said. I smiled.
"I should hope not miss potter." Dumbledore's portrait said smiling. I then realized we finally reached the headmaster's - no Head mistress' office.
"And then there's this, I don't want it." I said holding up the Elder Wand.
"But that's…"
"I know what it is Ron. I don't want it. I'm going to bury it AFTER…" I put my broken wand on the table, "reparo" I said. It flew together and spouted red sparks. There was a knock on the door. In walked Charlie.
"Harry may I talk to you?" I nodded. I followed him to the hallway.
CHARLIE POV
"Listen, about Lilian…" I started. Harry raised a hand to stop me.
"Let her come to you. Don't impose yourself. She will need your support and you will need hers but don't make a nuisance of yourself." He said and I nodded. "I don't want to see her hurt again Charlie. It was painful. And I didn't even know her. I won't let that happen again. Watch out or the boy who defeated Lord Voldemort will be after your ass. Got it?" I nodded meekly. "Good. Sis needs you. Go see her." I smiled.
"Thank you harry." He waved me off.
"Don't make me regret it. Now go." I nodded and shook his hand. I re-entered the office. Lilian ran to me and right into my arms. I felt her tears beginning to soak my shirt.
"Shh. Come on baby girl. Let's go get some rest. 'Tis have been a long night." I said. We headed for the Gryffindor portrait hole. I led her up to Harry and Ron's room. She lay down on the empty bed I had once occupied. "That was my bed. The one you are sitting on." I said, lying down next to her. I waited for her to lie down on her own. It was hard but I had to respect Harry's wishes.
"Do you miss him yet?" I didn't need to ask who.
"Kinda I am still trying to realize he really is gone. Fred was MY protégée and George was Bill's. I was always closer to Fred. And now, with him gone, I don't know. I do know it will be hard and you ought to know I will be here if you need me." I said she nodded.
"Charlie? Stay with me tonight?" I looked into her obviously scared eyes. I melted under her gaze.
"Let me go check on Ron and Ginny. Then I will be right back." She nodded and curled up on the bed. I walked down the stairs to the common room. There I found Harry Hermione Ron and Ginny. "Harry? Mate? You okay?" I asked. He looked up and nodded I noticed the dark circles and bags under his eyes.
"Shouldn't you be with Lily?" Ginny said.
"Harry requested I don't push myself back into her life. I respect a bloke's requests. That's why I am down here. She wants me to stay with her overnight and I wanted to make sure Harry was okay with it?" I asked. He nodded.
"As long as she makes the decision." I smiled.
"Thanks Mate." He nodded and I headed back upstairs. I found her sound asleep. I sat down in the chair next to her. "Lily though you probably can't hear me I just want you to know I love you no matter what. And I will wait forever if that's what it takes." I said taking her hand.
"Ugh you make it impossible to mistrust you. Fine. Go ahead. Just don't hurt her. Otherwise we four will be after you." Harry said from behind...
"You heard that huh? I guess Ginny sent you up to apologize?" he nodded. "'S'alright mate. No hard feelings. Be kind to my sis and I'll be kind to yours. Sound fair?" I asked. He nodded. I moved to sit on the bed next to Lily. "I really do love her. I always have." I said quietly. He smiled. Ginny walked in.
"we all need some sleep. Come on Harry. You two ron and Hermione." I smiled. They nodded. They quickly fell asleep but I stayed cwide awake pondering the same question I had been hit with when I first met Lilian all those years ago.
