Hey guys. Now, I know you guys are upset over Molly, and Scorpius's deaths. I hope you can understand that it was totally necessary. There's going to be an epilogue after this chapter. Then you'll have the complete story. I probably create a new story that entails the gang's whole journey in Hogwarts. So, on with the story.

Chapter 24

Lily opened her eyes. She just had the most wonderful sleep. She yawned. "Lily opened her eyes. She just had the most wonderful sleep. She yawned. "You're awake." She turned her head to see Liam. He looked relieved.

"Why am I in the hospital wing?" she asked.

"You were hurt during the battle. You broken almost all the bones in you arms," his voice cracked. "I flooed you to the hospital wing and Madame Pomfry healed you."

"Thank you," she whispered.

"You're welcome," he replied. "Lily, something happened in the battle."

"What?" she asked.

"Your grandmother… she was facing a dementor, and it got a hold of her, she's… gone,' he finished. He saw tears in her eyes. He pulled her into a hug. "Shh, it'll be okay." Her tears soaked his shirt. She was wearing mascara and it ruined his whit shirt.

She finished drying and saw his shirt. "I ruined your shirt," she said.

"It's okay."

"No it's not, you can never wear it again,' she said.

"I'll wear it whenever I want to," Liam replied. "And you might want to keep crying."

"Why?"

"Scorpius is gone to. Rose woke up a minute ago." Lily's head was buried in his shirt again. Her wailing could be heard around the hospital wing. Albus shot Liam a dirty. Look. He found out about their fight after the battle was over. The only thing that was keeping him from cursing Liam's arse into next week was Serena. She would kill him, burn him, and then stomp on the ashes.

Liam mouthed the words Grandmother Weasley and Scorpius. Albus nodded. I'm going to kill you, Albus mouthed back. Liam nodded.

Liam held Lily for a few more moments. He heard Rose saying she wanted to see Scorpius. "Could I speak to Rose?" Lily asked.

"Sure," Liam said. He picked up Lily.

"Put me down,' she demanded.

"Your legs are still somewhat recovering. I'm not taking any chances," he replied. She grumbled. He chuckled and took her over to Rose. With Albus's support she was able to make it over to Scorpius's bed.

xox

Hermione was tending her sore husband. The man took down three dementors, two Bogarts, pinned Lucius Malfoy down, and got his father and his now freshly dead mother to the hospital wing. Then went back to get Rose and Scorpius.

Hermione would never forget the face that brought those two into the hospital wing. It was hard and serious, but there was sorrow in his eyes. He put Rose on one bed, and Scorpius on the other. He kissed Rose's forehead. He turned to Scorpius's bed and whispered, "I shouldn't have been hard on you. You did whatever you could to protect her. Thank you."

Madame Pomfry looked both of them over. She felt Rose's pulse and gave her a potion. "She's going to be all right. They used a nasty spell on her, but she's going to live." Ron never looked more relieved. Madame Pomfry looked Scorpius over and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Ron asked.

"He's not going to make it." Ron's heart thudded. He grew fond of the boy. And Rose was not going to take this. "What happened?"

"He was hit by a curse. If I were to give it a category, I would put it in the Unforgivable He is slowly dieing in the most painful ways. He's seeing things not seventeen year old should be seeing. In other words, he dieing one piece at a time."

"So he's not dead yet?" Ron asked.

"No, but he will be by the end of tonight."

"Is there anything we can do," Ron asked hopefully.

"Nothing."

Ron made his way over to Hermione. He told her the news. She hugged him. She said it would be all right. He knew she was wrong this time.

He saw Rose wake up. He heard her question. He saw Albus's give her an answer. Her blank face. He heard her request, and saw Albus's help her up. He walked over to them. He wanted to support his daughter.

xox

Rose faced Scorpius. His eyes were filled with tears. She collapsed on his chest sobbing. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She paid it no heed. She physically went in his bed and hugged him.

"Rose – ' Albus started.

"Albus, give her a moment," her father said. "She needs to cry it out."

"What happened to him?" Rose asked.

"He's dying." Her father's simple words caused her to cry again. She heard a slapping sound.

"Ron!" her mother shouted.

"Well it is the truth."

"Everyone get out!" Madame Pomfry shrieked. She shooed them away. She tried getting Rose to leave but she wouldn't budge.

Rose cried over his body. She kissed his cold lips multiple times. She tried CPR. Nothing worked. She wanted him back. Her Dream Rose gave her no guarantee he would be alive. Her brain told her that the prophecy wasn't fulfilled yet. It didn't matter thought. He was gone.

She didn't know how long she was there. All she knew was that she didn't sleep at all. She remembered books. Romeo and Juliet ended similar. Romeo died, and now she made up her mind. Tomorrow she was going to kill herself. She wouldn't live a day without him.

But then, tomorrow seemed a long way. She pried herself off him. She gave him one last kiss. She would be seeing him soon. She pointed her wand at herself. She was about to say the curse that would end her life. "Avada – "

"Don't you dare ROSE!" a voice screamed.

xox

Albus rushed to Rose's said. With all his strength he tackled her. With all his years of practice, he managed to. He knocked away her wand. She wailed.

"What are you doing?" she yelled.

"Stopping you,' he replied.

"No, he's gone, I want to go to."

"You can't he wouldn't want that. He would want you to live your life out," Albus said.

"But I can't!" she wailed. "He completes me. I need him."

"Rose, please."

"No!" she took her wand back. She pointed it towards her chest.

"Rose don't do this to yourself. Think about your family. They love you. Uncle Ron would pretty much pull a Grandmother Weasley."

"What do you mean pull a Grandmother Weasley?" Rose asked.

"You know what I mean. She was empty since Uncle Fred died. And you know what else? A dementor sucked her soul out. Granddad Weasley isn't killing himself."

"Grandma's gone?" Rose asked.

"Yes.'

"That's even more of a reason to do this," Rose roared. "Good bye Albus."

"I didn't want to do this. Sonorous!" Albus yelled. Rose collapsed onto the ground. She was sleeping. Albus picked her up and put her on her bed. "I'm sorry."

xox

Rose woke up about an hour later. She remembered what happened. She cried. He was gone. She got up and looked around. No one was there to stop her. She tried to find her wand. It was gone.

She threw herself onto him again. When it passed she looked at him. they had discussed this.

"Rose," he said.

"Yes?"

"We have to think about it," he said softly.

"We said we would survive," she said. "There's nothing to discuss."

"Yes there is. Rose if I die, I don't want you to kill yourself," he said.

"I won't," she promised. "If I die, I don't want you to off yourself either."

"Good, and if by some luck, we wouldn't even need to make this promise."

Rose sighed. She promised him she wouldn't do this. Albus was right. She kissed him one last time. She let her heart let him go. She walked out of the hospital wing.

xox

Scorpius was in a room. Who was that?' he wondered. A woman was there, is had a nasty look and was dresses in black. He recognized here. It was Bellatrix. Her wand was in her hand. He saw another girl on the floor. No… it couldn't be. It was Rose.

"Tell me!" the girl on the floor collapsed. She screamed.

"HERMIONE!" a voice yelled. It was Ron Weasley. But he got it wrong, it wasn't Mrs. Weasley, it was Rose.

"We found it!" Rose said.

"Liar!"

"HERMIONE!" the sounds became mush in his head. He leaped. He pushed Bellatrix out of the way. He was covered in blackness then.

xox

He, like Rose, woke up in the hospital wing. He opened his eyes, and saw Albus's astonished face. "Your alive!" Albus hugged him so tight, his body almost cracked.

"Yes, I'm alive. Where's Rose?" Scorpius asked. He tried moving his left hand, but he couldn't.

"With her parents. Oh, she's going to be so please." Albus explained what happened. Scorpius froze when he heard what Rose was about to do. Albus reassured him, she was still alive.

They entered the room. The Weasley family looked shocked. They all saw him except Rose. Her back faced him. He put his finger to his lips quieting him. They nodded. Scorpius made his way over to Rose. He hugged one handed her from behind. He whispered in her ear, "Miss me?"

She and saw him. Her eyes became wide. Her lips were suddenly on his. He responded to the fullest. "You're alive."

"Yup," he said. He felt her hugging him. Then his cheeks stung. She had slapped him. he looked shocked.

"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH? I SPENT HALF THE NIGHT CRYING ON YOUR BED. I BEGGED YOU TO COME BACK TO ME! I ALMOST OFF MYSELF TO BE WITH YOU!" Ron's hand clenched. "ALBUS HAD TO TACKLE ME TO THE GROUND AND PUT A SPELL ON ME! THEN WHEN I FINALLY LET YOU GO, YOU COME BACK! WHAT KIND OF TWISTED WORLD IS THIS?" she was punching him everywhere.

"Okay, break it up you two," Hugo said. He pried his sister off of Scorpius. He looked worst for the wear. Madame Pomfry scurried in.

"What is that noise? He's alive!" she said as she looked at Scorpius. "What in the name of Merlin have you been doing? You're not suppose to be out of bed!"

"Madame Pomfry it's okay. I had to see Rose,' Scorpius replied.

"Well then, do you know what happened to you?" she asked. He shook his head.

"You were dying one piece at a time. You had no way to survive, but you did!"

"Do you think it had anything to do with my dream?" he asked.

"What was your dream?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I was in this room, and I saw Bellatrix and Rose. She was torturing her. Then I heard Mr. Weasley shouting your name, but it wasn't you. I tackled Bellatrix and then I woke up."

"Oh my," Hermione said. She looked at Ron. He looked like he was in pain. That memory always brought pain.

"I think I know what happened," Harry said. "Scorpius saw this dream. He was living that moment in Malfoy Manor when Hermione, or in this case, Rose was tortured. He was so overwhelmed in protecting Rose that he was able to wake up. That instinct saved you."

"You wanted to protect me?" Rose said.

"Of course, I always will." She hugged him.

"I'm sorry I hit you," she said.

"It's okay."

"Well, Scorpius, you might not be able to move a part of your body," Madame Pomfry said. "Who knows what the side affects are. All I know is that you'll never be whole again."

"My left hand's not moving,' he said.

"Oh, dear, that's what I was afraid of, you lost the ability to move that hand."

xox

"Well, we have a funeral to prepare," Ginny said. "Poor Mom."

"She's in a better place now," Harry said. "She wasn't the same after Fred died." The crowd left Rose and Scorpius in the room.

"I thought you were gone," Rose said.

"I'm here now."

"Not completely. Your left hand."

"It's okay, my dreams of being an Auror are shot, but I can still be a journalisy," Scorpius said.

"Don't ever do that to me again. I love you," Rose said.

"I love you to."

"Come on, we need to help them prepare the funeral." They walked out hand in hand to the outside world.

xox

The funeral was short. The Weasley family said a few words then threw a flower. When it was Arthur's turned he threw a bouquet of roses. "I know they're your favorite."

Rose and Scorpius threw their flowers together. From Rose, she got a red rose, and Scorpius threw a white carnation. "May you rest in peace," Rose said. the buried the casket and they went to the Weasley home for the funeral party.

They sat around eating and remembering Molly Weasley. "You remember when she killed Bellatrix, she called her a bitch," Ron chuckled. "I knew she could get angry, but that was brutal."

"Not as funny as…" they went on and on about her. She was a special woman.

"Let's make a pack, when we die, we'll die in style," Albus said. Scorpius turned around.

"There's not much glamour in being a journalist."

"We're still going to die in style though," Albus said. "That's how you get remembered.

"Let's not talk about dying," Serena said. "Let's talking about living." They agreed. With Rose on his side, Scorpius could do anything.

Whoa! None of you saw this coming. I'm so good. Epilogue's coming up! Then I'm finished! Let me know what you think about the whole gang's years through Hogwarts. After that, I might rewrite this story to be better. See you next time.
