AN: I'M SO INCREDIBLY SORRY! It has been almost 3 weeks since I last updated. But I do have an explanation! 1. I had to work on a huge book report (I got 100%!) 2. I have been at play rehearsals 3. The Doctor asked me to be his new companion so I of course had to say yes. While it has only been two weeks for you, it has been four years for me. So those are my excuses. I hope this chapter sort of makes up for everything.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. But I do own a fluffy green robe. BE JEALOUS!

Chapter 11: Revelations

Scorpius POV

The next few days were… dramatic to say the least. The Healers were working around the clock to not only heal the Potters and Weasley's, but everyone else that had been injured in the battle. According to Molly, three people had already died and another five were expected to never recover. To the dismay of the family, one of those people was Victoire.

Out of all the family members, Victoire had come out the worse. The Healers hope for her to have a full recovery was quickly diminishing. By the looks of it, she was barely holding on. Her body was slowly giving up, day by day.

Teddy was a complete wreck. His usually dark blue had darkened to pure black. The shine in his eyes was gone. It seemed like a dementor had sucked his soul out of him. It would absolutely destroy him if Victoire never healed. It was hard to see him so distraught. He was one of the only family members I had that didn't hate me for being in Gryffindor and wasn't prejudiced. In many ways, he was like an older brother to me. I couldn't stand to see him so upset.

Gradually, members of the family started to heal. Angelina, Bill, and Audrey were all healed shortly after our arrival to St. Mungo's. It took the others a little bit longer to recover. The Healers were thankfully able to discover that the knife that was thrown into Harry's back was laced with the tears from middle-aged nargle. Harry recovered quickly after he received the right antidote. Much to the relief of Lily, Albus and James, Ginny was healed rather quickly as well. As soon as she woke from the coma that she was in, her teary-eyed children bombarded her. Charlie also got fixed up right away.

Others weren't as lucky. The Healers were sure taking their sweet time in preparing the blood-replenishing potion for Bill and Percy. Percy's remaining blood was still oozing out the side of him and no amount of bandages seem to stop it. Ron and Fleur still needed their new body parts grown. Apparently some incompetent trainees couldn't grow the lungs and spine to the right size and accidently made the size of a large hippogriff. Unfortunately, Hermione's condition seemed to be getting far worse. Although she was stable for a few hours, her heart started beating precariously fast and breathing became faster. The Healers are saying that, while her brain is trying to wake her up, her body is fighting it. They keep trying to reassure Rose that it's just a nasty side effect of the spell but she isn't buying. And of course, there is Victoire.

"Rose," I whispered gently to my sleeping girlfriend.

"What?" She replied groggily.

"Your necklace. It's glowing," I said while pointing to a star shaped pendant that was dangling on her neck. Rose let out an audible gasp before quickly grabbing the piece of jewelry.

"It's light blue," Rose said finally.

"Well, yeah. That's sort of obvious."

"No, you don't get it. I charmed this necklace to change different colors when one of my family members was in trouble or something big was about to happen to them. Every family member has a different color. Teddy is dark blue, Albus is green, Louis is bronze, etc.," Rose explained while using lots of hand gestures.

"So who is light blue?" I asked impatiently.

"Victoire," she said with her eyes bulging a little. Immediately, Rose and I jumped up from our uncomfortable seats and rushed out of the hospital room Hermione and Ron shared. We started to run full-speed to where Victoire was stationed. Panting, we open the door to discover the tossing body of Victoire Weasley.

Victoire's body was jerking in every way and her eyes were rolled to the back of her head. She was letting out moans of pain and discomfort. To the left of her, Teddy was visibly shaking, obviously no knowing what was going on or how it fix it.

"Scorpius! Find some Healers! NOW!" Rose bellowed in a stern voice that I knew was best not to mess with. I quickly exited the room in search of a Healer. I silently cursed myself for not bringing my wand to the room. I could have just casted a simple Patronus.

I quickly found a Healer and practically dragged them back to Victoire's room. Rose was performing a healing spell of some sort that was calming Victoire's body a bit. The Healer took over from there and performed a series of complicated wand movements of her jerky body. After he was done, Victoire's body was completely still. Color started to return to her ghostly pale skin and she seemed rejuvenated. To the thrill of the people in the room, her eyes started to scrunch up and her nose began to wrinkle. Then, she opened up her crystal blue eyes.

Teddy leapt to her and wrapped her up in his strong arms. Tears of joy were happily falling down his faced as he patted her long blonde hair. Following Teddy's lead, I grabbed Rose and held her close as the same happy tears made an appearance on her freckled face. After a few moments of complete bliss, Teddy let Victoire go and he withdrew his wand. A silvery wolf jumped out of his wands after he exclaimed the words "Expecto Patronum!" Within a few seconds, the whole family (plus Alice) was standing with us, soaking up the happiness.

Besides Teddy, Dominique was the most relieved to see her sister healed. Although they do fight constantly, Dominique loved her sister more than anything. Well, besides boys of course. She wouldn't let go of Victoire for five minutes. Someone finally had to drag her off before Dom accidentally suffocated her.

After getting over the initial shock and happiness of Victoire's miraculous recovery, we were presented with another shocking yet expected event. Teddy got down on one knee. Once the girls saw what they were doing, they immediately went ballistic and began bouncing up and down with happiness. Their eyes became dreamy for they were obviously thinking about the time when they will be proposed to. I sure hoped that Rose's fantasy involved me being the one on the ground.

"Victoire, I was planning on asking you this at the end of the meeting. I envisioned this moment to be absolutely perfect. Us in the warm living space of The Burrow, Uncle harry and Aunt Ginny beaming at us, your father looking like he wanted to strangle me. But most of all, I envisioned you smiling furiously and nodding up and down vigorously. Then, all of that changed. Seeing you on the brink of death just reinforced my desire for you to be my beautiful life forever and always. So, Victoire Apolline Weasley, will you marry me?" With that, he opened up the little blue velvet box he had been holding onto during his beautiful speech. Everyone gasped when they saw the ring that was enclosed in it. The ring itself was a silvery color and had two strands of metal twisting around each other to create the band. A light blue diamond was placed on top of it to finish it off. It was classy and breath taking. In other words, it was simply Victoire.

"Are you sure this is the right time to be getting married Teddy? With everything that's going on?" Victoire asked.

"All the more reason to. I don't want something bad to happen to me, or Merlin forbid you, that would prevent us from getting married in the future. I want you to officially be mine before something deadly could happen to us," Teddy explained to Victoire in pleading voice.

"Well, when you say it like that – YES!" Victoire screeched at the top of her lungs while looking deliriously happy. The whole room erupted into cheers and tears speckled the females' cheeks. Though I hate to admit, tears were welling up in my eyes as well. While the celebration and the proposal was really sweet, it felt a little bit awkward considering both of Victoire's parents were in the room unconscious.

"I think we should leave, give them some privacy," Rose whispered in my ear softly.

"Its not like they even know that we're in here," I whispered back. It was true. They were deeply gazing into each other's eyes like they were the only people in the room.

"True. Still, we should leave them alone. It's not all that exciting to watch anyway," Rose pointed out. Nodding my head in agreement, I took her soft hand and led her pack to her parents' room.

Over the next couple hours, we mostly talked about everything that was going on and we started to devise a plan for Dumbledore's Army. Although none of the kids had talked about it aloud, we had silently agreed to start it up as soon as we got back to Hogwarts. The question was though, how?

"I still don't think I should go up and talk to those Slytherins," I said to Rose.

"Why not?"

"They HATE me!" I exclaimed at her.

"Shh! Don't disturb them!" Rose loudly whispered while pointing to her parents. I didn't think it was a good time to point out that they couldn't hear us so I continued.

"They wouldn't listen to a word I said! I'm a "traitor" apparently for being a Gryffindor and hanging out with you and your cousins! Why would they ever listen to anything I said/" I asked sounding rather exasperated.

"Because they are going through what you are going through, to some degree at least. They're obviously frightened that their parents will fall back into their previous dark ways, or worse, that the new death eaters will approach them and ask them to join just because they are in Slytherin. Your father and grandfather were both death eaters, Scorpius. A lot of people are going to assume that they are going to reinstate their "death eaterness"," Rose said slowly.

"My father would never be a death eater again!" My anger started to get the best of me and I shouted loudly at her.

"I know he wouldn't Scorpius," Rose said softly, completely ignoring my outburst. "But a lot of people are going to think that since he used to be a death and he's a Malfoy, he would gladly retake his role. A large majority of the wizarding world still pairs the name Malfoy with the dark arts. The people that matter know the difference Scorp."

"I s'pose you're right," I said, succumbing defeat. I wouldn't be able to say no to Rose, not with her big emerald eyes staring at me like that.

"So you'll do it then/" Rose's eyes twinkled as she spoke.

"I guess so. If that will make you happy. But if those Slytherins beat me up and hospitalize me, I blame you," I said pretending to be angry while pointing a finger at her.

"Blame me you must," she said with a sly smile on her face. At times, I wonder how she didn't get put into Slytherin.

I opened my mouth to say what I hoped to be a witty remark, but I was cut off by a disgruntled moan coming from Rose's mother, Hermione.

"Mum?" Rose asked in a shaky voice. In response, Hermione moaned again, a little bit louder this time. "Mum, are you waking up?" Rose asked excitedly.

Hermione continued to moan for several long moments until she suddenly stopped. Her body shifted slowly before she opened up her chestnut eyes.

"Mum!" Rose shouted with joy and tackled her mother into a hug. I watched them weep together happily for a few seconds before I sent a Patronus to Hugo informing him on his mother's awakening. But instead of a bear leaping from my wand, out came a bald eagle, the same Patronus as someone very close to me. I quickly turned to Rose and Hermione to see if they noticed the change. Rose was staring at me with a mixture of shock and love and Hermione was giving me a knowing smirk. It was obvious that she saw my new Patronus and knew what that meant.

"So you two finally got together?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah," Rose sheepishly admitted. "Just a cou- what do you mean finally?" Rose asked alarmed.

"Oh honey," Hermione said while laughing. "Everyone knew you guys are going to end up dating. Just like how it's almost obvious that Albus and Alice are going to date. Unless they already are?" She asked, raising her eyebrows. When we shook our heads, she continued. "And how Lily and Hale are going to end up dating."

"Whoa, Lily and Hale/ Really?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Well, Hale is obviously in love with Lily. She just has been to clueless to realize it," Rose pointed out.

"Doesn't she like that Olsen guy now?" I asked.

"True love will find a way to be together," Hermione said simply. "Anyway, we all knew you too were going to be together. We even betted on it," she said while winking.

"WHAT!" Rose and I exclaim at the same time.

"If I remember correctly, I do believe that your father would be the winner," Hermione said while looking at Rose.

"Dad bet on us! I thought he couldn't stand him!" I shot Rose a look after she said her statement, but she simply gave me a look saying "well it's true!"

"Contrary to popular belief, Ron does approve of Scorpius," Hermione said sounding exasperated. My jaw dropped at her bold statement. In the corner of my eye, I could see Rose doing the same thing.

"So he'll be fine once I tell him that Scorpius and I are dating?" Rose asked.

"I think so sweetie," Hermione said while giving her daughter a smile.

At this time, Hugo, followed by the rest of the cousins (plus Alice), came bursting through the doorway.

"Mum!"

"Aunt Hermione!" Everyone said something along those lines at the same time. They pounced on her with hugs and kisses at once, poor Hugo sobbing heavily.

"I'm so happy to see that you guys are fine!" Hermione exclaimed. Then, something seemed to click inside of her. "You need to get back to Hogwarts now!"

"Why? What's wrong?" James asked worried.

"It's not safe here! They have spies everywhere!" Hermione then started to look around the room frantically as if they were with us at that exact moment. "The only place safe for you guys right now is Hogwarts."

"But dad hasn't been healed yet!" Hugo pointed out.

"Uncle Bill, Aunt Fleur, and Uncle Percy haven't either!" Lily said loudly.

"It doesn't matter! We can send you an owl when they are healed. But you must get back to Hogwarts, pronto!" Hermione exclaimed. "Albus, send a Patronus to Professor Cartier informing her that you are going back. I want the rest of you to get to the nearest fireplace that is connected to the Floo Network and leave!"

Although everyone was clearly saddened by the news, there wasn't a point in arguing with a determined Hermione. After saying goodbye to her, we all shuffled out of the room and left St. Mungo's.

Lucy's POV

We arrived at Hogwarts covered in soot and ash. Upon seeing us, Professor Cartier gave us each a steaming cup of hot tea and ushered us to sit down. After we gave her a rundown of what happened, she said that it was okay for us to leave.

"You may go back to your dormitories. Everyone has just finished eating dinner. I'm sure the house elves could whip you something up if you are feeling a bit parched. I cannot describe how happy I am that all of your relatives are going to just fine," Professor Cartier said earnestly. We all muttered our thank you's and we quickly left.

Walking down the hallways, students began to notice that we had come back. They seemed to follow us in a large mob, wanting to know every single detail. James, ever the charmer, exaggerated the whole story and somehow made him the hero. Sickeningly, all the girls seemed to be hanging on every single word of fiction he was saying.

Once inside of the Gryffindor common room, I realized that I had patrols that night with Lysander. I grimaced when I remembered what happened the last time we had to patrol together. Summoning every ounce of courage I had, I went up the stairs to the boy's dormitories in search of Lysander.

When I reached his room, I found him packing up some thing in his trunk with a sullen expression.

"What do you think you are doing?" I ask a little more harshly than I intended to.

"Packing," Lysander said without any emotion.

"No, you are going to do patrols with me. Now." I mentally smacked myself for sounding so snippy.

"No, I'm going to pack. The leave."

"Why? Are you still upset about the last time we had to patrol together? Is that why you're packing up your things and leaving/ Look, I'm sorry –"

"You really think I'm leaving because of you?" Lysander cut me off and turned towards me for the first time. Tears stained his face. "Are you really that stuck up?"

"Well, why else would you be leaving and refusing to patrol with me?"

"Because I am going home! Just because your perfect little family came out of the battle alive, it doesn't mean everyone else's did!" Lysander shouted at me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"My father is dead! He was killed! I'm packing up my thing so I can go back home for the funeral and comfort my newly widowed mother!" He shouted enraged. I gasped at the information. Uncle Rolf was…dead? No, it couldn't be! There must have been some sort of mistake.

"Just go," Lysander said, shaking his head. "GO!" I opened my mouth to speak, but I found no words coming out. So instead I tuned on my heel and walked out of the room.

I somehow managed to make it into the common room before I broke down. I cried not only for Lysander, but also for all the other injured and dead people. How could I have been so stupid? Thinking that since my family was safe so was everyone else's. And what I did to Lysander. I yelled at him after he just learned that his father was killed in a battle. What have I done?
