Chapter 10
Lily's POV
I woke up suddenly covered in sweat and terrified. What was that? I looked around the room everyone was still sleeping. Didn't they hear that? Or was it just me?
It was still dark outside. I slowly crept out of my bed making my way over to the door. I opened it quietly and poked my head out. Then I jumped I heard it again. I went down the stairs and into the kitchen it was a mess all the cabinets were open food boxes were ripped open and thrown everywhere. I walked into the sitting room.
When something charged at me it knocked me into the wall I whacked my head I felt blood falling down my face I touch the back of my head there was a big gash it stung when I touched it. I was dizzy I used the wall to help myself up I was facing the wall when I turned around my eyes were blurry I could tell the thing that hit me was a person but not who it was.
Then the person punched me in my nose. I fell again when he punched me I screamed I started to crawl back into the kitchen screaming.
I felt them grab my foot-dragging me back into the sitting room. I felt around for something to hold I grabbed a pan handle. Then I flipped over on my back and hit the person with the pan. They screamed at the contact grabbing their head letting go of me.
I scrambled up screaming.
"Mum! Dad! Somebody! Please help me!" I screamed crying.
I stood over the guy that had attacked me I didn't recognize him. I heard people starting to shuffle around quickly. Then my mom, aunts, and uncles came running down the stairs wands out. They saw me and mum grabbed me and pull me into a hug real quick. My aunts surrounded us. While my uncle's dealt with the guy.
I started crying into mum's shoulder. She was rubbing my back then she started to run her fingers through my hair. She stopped suddenly and looked at her hand and saw it covered in blood.
"Lily did her hurt you?" she asked pushing back so she could look at my face for the first time. She gasped.
"Lily. What did he do?" she asked gently
"He threw me up against the wall and..." I said quickly and then tried to catch my breath and not start crying. I heard all of my aunts suck in a deep breath. I knew what they were thinking and I'm glad that I could tell them that he didn't do that.
"and I cut my head. It hurts. I got up and turned around and he punched me. I crawled into the kitchen and then he grabbed my foot I grabbed the pan and then flipped around and hit him with it. Then you guys came down." I said clearly
"He didn't rape me." I said shuttering at my own words. I heard my aunts breath out and my mum's face lighten some.
"Lily lets look at your head." Aunt Layla said she was a part-time healer at St. Mungo's.
Ginny's POV
I was so scared that man had hurt my daughter worse than he had actually done. Lily's head wound needed 10 stitches and her nose was broken and she was going to have two black eyes.
I walked over to my brothers they had put the man in a leg-locker curse and the body-binding curse on him. They were talking about what to do. George saw me and asked
"Is she ok? I mean he didn't you know..."
I shook my head and said "He didn't. She has a broken nose and two black eyes and 10 stitches in the back of her head. Who is this and why did he attack Lily?"
Bill said "He is a muggle. That's all we know."
"We are going to have to use the felly fone to call the pops people. Make sure all the kids know to hide everything magical." Charlie said messing up the muggle terms.
We all nodded in agreement an started to use our wands to hide all things of our world. I didn't notice but I was silently crying.
Hermione walked over and put a hand on my shoulder I flinched but turned around and looked at her. She pulled me into a hug. I started sobbing. Loudly. I never cried. Growing up with all brothers I had to work hard to show I was just as tough as them. The only time I cried was the funerals after the war. Everyone stopped working and stared at me but I didn't care.
Lily ran over to us and started to hug me too murmuring that she was alright and that it was ok. Soon my brothers and "sisters" all joined in. After five minutes I stopped crying and we broke apart. My brothers all stared at me tears glistening on the edges of their eyes. At the sight of me broken and scared.
Lily's POV
I looked at the clock it was only three in the morning and I didn't go to bed till eleven. I slowly let go of my mom and walked over into the sitting room on the couch. Watching everyone work and talk. They had decided to let Aunt Hermione be the one to call and talk to the police because she was muggle born and knew how to.
After she placed the call she told everyone that they would come and ask questions about the guy and do we know him and do we give enemies.
Grandma had stayed upstairs with all the kids while this was going on. Soon enough the police arrived. My uncles undid the spells that they had placed upon the man but Uncle George gave him a sleeping draught so he wouldn't wake up.
Knock. Knock. I jumped at the noise even though I knew they were coming. A fat man with gray hair came in and took the man and put him in the back of their car then came in and sat down followed by a skinny woman with blonde hair she was young. I had already sat down on the couch with mum and Aunt Hermione on each side of me and the rest of my aunts and uncles stood along the walls. The cops came and sat down in the arm chairs opposite of the couch. They looked at me and you could see their eyes widen at the sight of me. The woman spoke first.
"I am Officer Kemishio and this is Officer Smite. We are here about a breaking and entering and assault." She said looking at her notes.
"So who called the police?" Officer Smite asked.
"I did." Aunt Hermione said
"So you said that a man had broken into your house this morning and attacked your niece." Officer Kemishio said Aunt Hermione nodded.
"I'm guessing this is your niece." she said I nodded this time
"I'm Lily." I rasped out.
"Ok Lily can you tell me what happened?" She said softly I told them what happened and they took notes. When I finished. They asked my mum, my aunts and my uncles some follow-up questions.
"We are almost finished with the report. We just need some pictures of Lily's wounds." she said pulling out a camera and walking over to Lily.
"Your head it is already stitched up did you go to a hospital?" she asked confused.
"No, Layla is a nurse, she stitched it up. Lily was losing too much blood to keep it open any longer and I already took some pictures of before and after for you." Hermione said handing her a camera
"Oh, thank you." Officer Smite said looking through the photos.
"These will work. Thank you for your cooperation." He said turning to leave.
"Wait!" Mum said suddenly. They stopped and looked at her.
"Can you tell us anything about this man who attacked my daughter?" She asked
"I can tell you that he is a wanted man who has been on the run for months. And that he probably just came in to steal some food and just freaked out when Lily came in the room." Officer Smite said
"Wanted?" I asked "What for?" the Officers looked at each other than sighed.
"He is a serial rapist and murder." I felt mum grab me tighter
"So let's just be thankful that Lily fought back and got away." Officer Smite said
"We will just be on our way then." Officer Kemishio said
Ginny's POV
After the officers left we sat in silence not talking and barley breathing. It was only about five in the morning. Then we heard George's stomach growl and we all cracked up laughing. We made our way into the kitchen and saw the big mess that the burglar made so we decided to go out to eat for breakfast.
"Lily" Layla said
"Yes." Lily answered
"Now, that the police have left I can fix your nose, but bruises have to heal on their own." She replied
"Okay" Lily said walking over to her.
"It may hurt a little but it will be over quick."
"Not as much as it did getting it." Lily shrugged
"Ready? Episkey!" Layla said
Everyone expected Lily to show a reaction to the spell but she didn't.
"Hey." George said we all looked at him
"Al and James gave Finn two black eyes yesterday." We all nodded yes.
"Well him and Lils will be a matching set of raccoons then. Now lets eat!"
See you in a little while.
