Do I look like J.K. Rowling?

I KNOW I PROMISED TWO CHAPTERS, BUT I DECIDED TO MOLD THEM INTO ONE.

Chapter 10: One to Break it, One to Bind it

"Lily, James, and Albus Potter, and Hugo and Rose Weasley, what are you doing here?" Professor McGonagall shrieked.

Rose hung her head.

"Professor McGonagall, we are extremely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you," she said politely.

"INCONVENIENCE? Well, for the love of Merlin - "

"Professor, I'll send a Patronnus to their parents," Teddy said meekly, his hair an interesting mix between angry red and overjoyed yellow.

"Thank you, Edward, that will be excellent."

"Minnie, we are, very, very, sorry. We'll try not to let it happen again," James said solemnly.

Minevra McGonagall, for once, did not know what to say.

We were all waiting for Mum to start screaming her head off. It never happened. She fingered one of my dirty curls and whispered,

"We thought you were dead."

I looked at her and Dad's eyes. They clearly hadn't been sleeping.

I began to sob.

"I'm sorry, Mum."

She pulled Albus, James, and I into a hug.

Teddy, Victoire, Professor McGonagall, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione, Rose, and Hugo came back in.

"I think, " Teddy said, "What we'd all like to know is what happened?"

So Albus and I told the story in bits and pieces. Victoire (I swear that girl hates me more than anything else on Earth) pulled Rose into her lap, clutched onto her at the scary parts, and laughed hysterically at the funny parts. Mum screeched and Teddy's hair changed all the way back to blue at the part when I produced a Patronnus, while Dad yelled,

"A doe?''

"So where are the box and goblet?" Teddy asked.

Hugo pulled them out.

I turned to Mum.

"Will you help me break it?" I asked.

"Why'd you need help to break it?" Victoire asked.

"It has to be destroyed properly, one to break it, one to bind it," I said.

Mum and I stood up.

"I'll break it, then you'll have to bind it. Then we'll destroy it together."

I can't really describe what happened. All I remember lights, lots of them, flying up and collecting around the ceiling and disappearing. But still, I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

The rest of the school year was pretty uneventful. Well, apart from James putting safety pins in my porridge and Gryffindor winning the House Cup. But you know what I mean.

On the outside I felt I was parta the crowd

But in the inside I knew I wasn't really allowed!

THE END

Not really! It may be the end of the story, but it's definitely NOT the end of the Lily's Story Saga! Check back in about a week for the sequel, Scarred.

Thank you to GoldenDiva and RoseQuartz1. Couldn't of done it without you.

And thank you to all my readers!
