Disclaimer, first chapter.

Lily laid sprawled out on the floor of her bedroom, bleeding all over it. Her lovely host broke her nose, causing a constant blood flow. Her lip was split, she had a bruised cheekbone. Lily also thought at least two ribs were broken and four bruised.

She was sure she looked like a mess. The pain spiked with any small movement, thus leaving her where Tom left her. Lily closed her eyes and focused on breathing. She imagined Teddy coming through her window and saving her. But when she opened her eyes she was greeted by the cold and dark surroundings.

Lily choked a sob and coughed painfully. "Teddy," she whispered to the dark. Her left arm lay out to her left wishing she could see that warm giddy smile of his.

Teddy lay restlessly in his bed staring at the ceiling. "Oh Lily, if I only knew where you were," he muttered to the darkness. He closed his eyes. When she was back in his possession there was nothing taking her out of his arm's reach. He would tell her everything he'd been holding back for years and then he'd never let her go.

His right arm lay outstretched on his bed, as if reaching for Lily. He prayed the Aurors would tell them they found her in the morning.

Teddy groaned and rolled over in bed.

"Teddy get up will you? Grandmum says breakfast is ready!" Devon shouted pounding on his door. Teddy groped around his bedside for his wand and flicked it, unlocking the door, letting Devon in.

"What Dev?" he asked sleepily. Teddy had hardly slept last night.

The seven year old brunette crossed her arms and walked closer to him. "Grandmum says breakfast is ready and for you to get your butt out of bed."

Teddy grunted and nodded. "Yeah. Thanks Lu."

"I'm Devon!"

Teddy winced. "Sorry, sorry. Thank you Devon, now get out of my room." Devon turned around hastily and walked out muttering under her breath how she and her cousin did not look alike. Teddy shook his head and sat up, moving his feet to the floor. They both were brunette and had hazel eyes- how was he supposed to tell them apart?

After throwing on some clean clothes Teddy combed his hair into a tidy look, changed the color to brown, and jogged downstairs.

Luna stomped her foot. "Mum why can't Dev and I go?"

Ginny sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Luna Ginerva Potter, you are not old enough! Your time will come sweetheart but it isn't this time."

Teddy couldn't resist a smile as he sat down at the table. This argument phased through all the kids after his first year, no matter how small they were.

"But James and Sirius are going this year!" Luna protested.

"They're also old enough now," Ginny said rummaging in her purse.

"Here you are Ted. Harry, George, and Ron went to the ministry early this morning. They should be flooing back any time now," Molly said quickly, sliding a plate to him. The fireplace roared and Molly smiled. "Told you."

Teddy smiled and ate his breakfast with big bites.

Ron walked into the kitchen and nodded. "They've found her, Harry and George that is. The other Aurors were way off. Ted they're waiting on you to meet up with them at the ministry- Harry's office."

Teddy stood up and darted off to the fireplace.

Lily sucked in a breath and flinched at the pain in her chest from her ribcage.

Tom laughed down at her. "You're going to stay with me a long time. Better get used to it."

Lily cried out in pain as he kicked her into the wall. "He won't abandon me."

Tom threw out his hands. "Then where is he sweetheart? Obviously someone doesn't care enough to come rescue you."

Lily tried kicking his shin from the floor. "Don't call me "sweetheart"."

Tom knelt beside her and tilted his head. "I'll call you whatever I want to."

"Stupify!" George snarled. Lily sighed with relief and relaxed on the floor as Tom keeled over.

"Dad," she said blood oozing out the side of her mouth. Lily coughed and gasped for air.

"Lily!" Teddy said rushing to her side. Lily looked up at him and grinned, ignoring her mouth's protest.

"I knew you'd come for me," she whispered, her eyelids drooping.

Teddy's heart shattered at how broken she was. He pushed some stray red hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear.

"I'm here now. No one's ever going to hurt you again," he whispered taking her hand in his. Lily smiled dreamily and went to sleep, clutching Teddy's hand tightly. A few tears left his eyes and he gently picked her up.

"She's lost a lot of weight," he said, holding Lily tight to him. George came into the room with Lily's wand.

"Apparate back with her- she needs my mum's help now," he ordered.

Harry nodded his agreement. "We'll deal with Tom, your priority is Lily."

Teddy nodded and looked down at Lily. "Hold on, Lil," he whispered. He turned and apparated on the spot.

"Will she be all right?" Teddy asked Molly anxiously.

Molly sighed and wiped her brow with her wrist. "Teddy, sit down and hold her hand. I'll let you know in a few minutes. I won't leave you in the dark. I know how much you love her."

Teddy pulled a seat over and obeyed, he blushed slightly at the fact Molly knew he loved Lily, but he supposed he had been a little obvious.

Lily moaned. "Teddy," she mumbled in her sleep.

"I'm here baby," he said leaning forward and kissing her forehead. "I'm not leaving." Lily relaxed and Molly sighed again.

"I've done all I can, bed rest and nutrition will do the rest," she concluded cleaning off her hands and standing up. Molly left the two, going into the kitchen to get supplies to clean Lily up.

A/N: There you go! Lily will be all right and she will go to Hogwarts. Don't forget to review! ;)
