Ch. 10 internal strength

Lilly started to run around a see if there was anyone there that was alive. She was also thinking about how to find Harry while she was doing that. She told Draco to go back to her house and tell whoever was left what happened. He disappeared to do as he was told.

Lilly found one boy who looked like he was about her age who was unconscious but not dead. She carefully turned him over and saw that he was wearing robes exactly like ones Harry had at home, Gryffindor patch and everything. She looked at his face and knew that he looked familiar, like she had seen him in a picture. In fact she knew she had seen him in a picture but she couldn't remember which one or what his name was.

She laid him down flat on his back and placed her hands over his chest. They started to glow a light red but before she got to help him she was hit on the side of the head by a big red handbag and knocked to the side.

She rubbed her head and looked up to see that there was a lady standing there who looked pissed. 'I could have sworn she was unconscious 10 seconds ago' Lilly thought as she stood up and tried to shake off the feeling of being hit in the head with a brick.

"What do you think you are doing to him?" The lady asked while she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Lilly.

"I was trying to help."

"It didn't look like it. It looked like you were hurting Nev."

Lilly thought about the name and finally figured out who the boy was. "Nev as in Neville? I was trying to help him. He's a friend of my brothers." Lilly was not expecting the spell that came her way but her fast reflexes somehow blocked it. It bounced right off of her arms when they were crossed in front of her. She looked just as shocked as the woman in front of her.

"How did you do that? Only people who use dark magic can do it without a wand."

Lilly looked confused. "I haven't heard that before. Harry never said that wand less was dark… I can assure you I have no intentions of hurting you."

Finally the lady lowered her wand a little bit. "Harry?"

"Yes Harry. My brother Harry Potter."

The lady looked shocked at what Lilly said. She didn't even know that Harry had a sister let alone one that could do magic without a wand. They were both distracted when Neville groaned and moved a little bit. There was something really wrong with him and they didn't know exactly what it was but he looked like he was in a lot of pain.

"So are you going to let me help him or not?" Lilly asked with a little bit of attitude. She moved over to where Neville was laying on the ground and concentrated again on healing. Her hands started to glow again. Soon they were so bright that Lilly had to close her eyes. A few seconds later the light died down and she moved her hands away from the boy.

"Is he alright?"

"I think so," Lilly answered as she watched his eyes flutter open and look around and tried to figure out where he was. His eyes got bog and he sat up fast and started talking really fast.

"We have to go… they took Harry… we have to help him…" and a lot of other stuff that no one could understand.

"Neville you have to calm down now hon. we will find Harry but you have to calm down."

Neville took a deep breath to calm down a little bit and talk normally. "They took him to the manor. I heard them say they were going to go back to the manner."

"Malfoy manner?" Lilly asked him and he nodded. Lilly pulled out a cell phone and dialed fast. She called her neighbors house and said, "Hey Joan, is there a blonde outside my house talking to my father or anyone… ok could you please yell for him to came in and talk to me…." A few seconds later "Draco come back here NOW!"

Lilly hung up without waiting for an answer and started to look around. There were a few other people that were passed out and a lot that were just dead. She moved closer to a few and concentrated real hard. The bright red light came back and the three of them woke up at the same time. They looked around and started to move towards other people to see if they could help.

Lilly looked around just as Draco apparated behind her. "What's up? You find something?"

Lilly ignored the crazy looks from Neville and his Gran and told Draco, "He's at your Manner."

Draco could hear the hurt and confusion in her voice and turned her around to face him. He saw that she had tears in her eyes and a look on her face that he couldn't stand. He quickly gave her a hug and said, "Lilly you are my best friend, I will fix this don't worry. We will find your brother, and my love."

Lilly pulled away and wiped a tear from her eye while she nodded and took a deep breath to calm down. "So what are we going to do?"

Draco smiled and started to explain his plan. If everything went as planned it would be really easy to pull it off.

"Dad always keeps his prisoners in the small cell in the back of the dungeons. Are you SURE you know where that is?" Draco asked again, right before they left. There were a total of 7 people going to the manner to try and get Harry. There were also an extra 15 waiting for a signal to jump into action if needed.

"Yes Draco I'm sure I can find it." Lilly assured him while she clutched the invisibility cloak waiting to leave. The plan was to apparate directly into Draco's closet where he had a donut set up. That was the only place inside the manner that didn't have strong wards and right now they were very thankful for that.

"Ok, lets go."

Draco, Lilly, Neville, Lupin, Arthur, Tonks, and Shacklebolt apparated into the closet all at the same time. They arrived and looked around for w second, noting that the closet was larger then some normal rooms before opening the door and letting Lilly out so she could find her brother.

They sat and waited. It was the only plan they could think of that didn't involve running out into the manner without the protection of the cloak. It was simple but Draco knew that it had to work because his father didn't know about being able to apparate within the closet so a simple plan would be best.

Draco stood up and began to pace. He couldn't remember WHY he agreed to let Lilly go find him. He was worried sick about both of them. What if something happened to them? It would be his fault.

He stopped pacing when he heard a giant explosion from somewhere in the house. He knew that was not good. He looked at the rest of the people and they all got up and followed him out of the closet, ready to fight to the death.
