LILY POTTER AND THE FINAL PROPHECY

Warning – This is the sequel to Harry Potter, Time Traveler and Lily Potter and the Change of Time. If you have not read either of these stories I would highly recommend it as this story will get very confusing. You may not recognize many of the characters and may have no idea what is going on if you do not read it.

Summary – It is Lily Potter's final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it will be her most memorable. In her final year, with the help of her friends, Lily must face many obstacles; boys, relationships, rivalries, new teachers, her NEWTS, the threat of Voldemort and the newly written prophecy, and not to mention being on the edge of finding out the identity of her true, biological mother. Now, Lily must overcome these obstacles to fight the final battle against Voldemort. It is the final battle between good and evil and only one can prevail…

Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter, the characters, or the Harry Potter world. They all belong to the fabulous J.K. Rowling. However, while I do not own their names, the characters and the personality traits of Lily Potter, Eddie Weasley, Daris Malfoy, Christof Nott, as well as Asher Lazard and Robyn Andrews all belong to me.


WARNING! I ask that readers please pay special attention while reading this chapter, as it can get very confusing because I keep jumping from different POV's because everything is happening all at once. I think there are four different POV in this chapter. Thank you and enjoy!


Chapter 28 – A Full Moon Dies:

"It is almost time," he sneered with a smile. His icy, cold voice pierced the darkness like knife cutting deep into flesh. Bellatrix, not aging well at all, looked tired and weary, but stared at her master with wide-eyes; fear and admiration flowing from them.

"My Master," Draco Malfoy's voice called out bravely, "is anything to happen to any of the other students at Hogwarts?" One could hear the fear in his voice, not because he was scared of the Dark Lord's reaction, but because of the meaning behind his question. Voldemort gave a soft laugh.

"I assure you, Draco," he said, "that nothing will happen to young Daris or any of his friends. You know I wouldn't let anything go wrong. I wish for them to be a part of this great honor, just as you and your father have, Draco."

"Thank you, my Lord, thank you!" he said in a sincere voice before bowing down before Voldemort. He then turned to the old man standing before him, who was on his knees, resting against a wooden cane.

"Raa, you have done well," said Voldemort, taking out his wand. "You have served me with the utmost loyalty and have used all of your intellect and power to help and to serve me. You are one of my most honorable and trusted servants."

"Thank you my Lord," Raa said in a whisper, now bowing his head.

"You have given me the greatest gift of all, Raa," Voldemort continued. "You have given me the Stone of Merlin. With the Stone, Lily Potter will be destroyed and the line of Gryffindor will finally end. I shall become the great wizard the world has ever seen; all thanks to you and your loyalty, Raa."

"Only for you, my Master," he said, bowing his head again.

"For your efforts and success, you shall be greatly rewarded, more than you could ever imagine! I shall give you full use of your legs now," praised Voldemort, "along with all the riches you could ever want or imagine."

"Master, thank you," Raa said in a gasp. "How can I-"

"But I need one more service from you, Raa," said Voldemort.

"Of course, my Lord, of course," he said softly. "Anything."

"I need you to kill the Headmistress of Hogwarts; that Mudblood, Hermione Weasley, and the werewolf, Remus Lupin," said Voldemort. "With them out of our way at Hogwarts, we'll have a clear path to Lily Potter."

Raa nodded before bowing his head again.

"I will do anything you ask of me, my Lord," he said softly. "What is the plan?"

Voldemort looked at the night sky, clutching a tiny, black, stone in his fist.

"So soon, Raa, so soon," he whispered. "Lily Potter and the Gryffindor line will finally be dead." Voldemort then turned and told Raa of his plans for the murders. After Voldemort informed Raa of the plans to murder Hermione Weasley and Remus Lupin, Raa Apparated to the house of Earl and Jean Granger; Hermione's parents.


Lily gasped and woke up in cold sweat, nearly choking on her own saliva. As she breathed in much needed breaths, she took her sheets and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Panicking over what she saw, she grabbed her robe, wand, and Invisibility Cloak. Slipping into her robe and the cloak, she placed her wand in her pocket, and ran to the Common Room, out of the Portrait Hole, and straight to Hermione's office.


"MORSMORDRE!"

The Dark Mark appeared into the night sky, hovering above a tiny, modest home in the midst of a Muggle neighborhood. Raa looked at it in triumph before transfiguring a rock, which was sitting in the yard of a Muggle house, into an owl. He conjured up a quill and a piece of parchment before sending an 'Anonymous' letter to the Ministry about the attack. Raa smiled evilly into the night sky as the owl flew off with the letter.

Raa turned to the two frightened Muggles, tied at his feet. He grabbed them both by the hair before Apparating with them.


Lily ran to her godmother's office as fast as she could. She had had a dream. In the dream, Voldemort wanted and planned to murder the only two people at Hogwarts who could protect her. Surely, Sirius and Ron were next on his list.

Lily was in a complete state of panic. She had already lost Harry and Robyn. If anyone else died because of her, she' would never be able to forgive herself. She desperately needed to tell Hermione that she and Remus were now at the top of Voldemort's hit list.


Raa appeared inside the shop with a pop, still holding the two Muggles by their hair. One of them was crying desperately with fear. He left them lying on the shop floor and placed an Anti-Burning Charm on them before heading out through the front door very quietly so that no one outside would notice.

It was a clear, starry night in the village of Hogsmeade when he Apparated there. Raa looked up and saw the castle of Hogwarts glistening in the night sky; peaceful and undisturbed. Raa knew that Lily Potter was in that castle, sleeping comfortably in her warm bed. The very thought that the enemy was so at peace infuriated Raa to no end and he wanted more than anything to march up to the school and murder the girl with his own hands. But, he knew that murdering her was his Master's wish and he would never deprive that from the Dark Lord. To be honest, Raa also knew that he was no match for the Heir of Gryffindor anyway, not with Eyeluta among her powers.

Raa looked around and stood at the door of the shop. Since it was such a beautiful, spring night, many people were spending a late evening in the village; shopping, enjoying late, delicious dinners, toasting their drinks, and walking amongst the stars. He could not help but grin at the sight of all of these people, knowing that this plan was going to be successful. He hid in the shadows of the shop and slipped his Death Eater mask over his face. He started a small fire in his shop, knowing it would burn the place down along with the rest of Hogsmeade, before running out of it and screaming the dreaded words; "AVADA KEDEVRA!"


Her eyes welled up with tears at the recollection of Sirius Black's harsh and hurtful words. Who was he to tell her what to do? She had every right to tell her daughter that she was her mother. She wanted to; no, she needed to. But, deep down she knew she could not tell Lily until she was no longer a professor at Hogwarts. That is when she decided that she would tell Lily; after her graduation, when she was no longer working until the rule of Hermione Weasley.

At that time, Hermione came bursting through the door, full of sweat with determination and panic written across her features.

"There's been another attack on Hogsmeade," was all she said. She saw her cousin standing behind Hermione, sharing the same facial features as the Headmistress. She nodded and grabbed her wand, running with the rest of the faculty towards the tiny wizarding village.


Lily finally reached the gargoyle before screaming the password at the top of her lungs; "Skittle! Skittle!" The gargoyle awoke and began to spin towards Hermione's office, Lily panting for breath in a worried manner the entire time.


Raa murdered six people with ease in front of the shop, which was now burning a terrible, wretched fire. The people in the streets were screaming and causing mass panic. Raa grinned beneath the Death Eater mask before Disapparating. However, he only Apparated back inside the now burning shop before stripping himself of his mask and robes. He laid himself down beneath the flames and placed an Anti-Burning Charm on himself before letting out a false terrified scream.


Lily reached the doors to Hermione's office and she banged on them furiously, screaming at the top of her lungs for Hermione to let her in and that she desperately needed to talk to her.

With that, Hagrid had opened the door to the office, looking panicked.

"Lily? Whas wrong?" he asked, looking confused. "Yeh should-"

"Where's Hermione?" Lily asked urgently, interrupting Hagrid.

"Not here-"

"Where is she?" Lily asked, nearly shouting and sounding desperate. Hagrid looked hesitant to tell her. At this, Lily panicked, saw red, and pulled out her wand, pointing it straight at her giant friend.

"I love you, Hagrid," she said, her wand pointed at Hagrid's chest. Hagrid looked simply terrified; hurt even. "But, Hermione is in danger. Voldemort is going to have her killed. I need to know where she is. I need to warn her. And if you don't tell me where she is I swear I will hex you…"

"Lily…"

"TELL ME HAGRID!" Lily roared, her wand arm shaking with panic and fury. Hagrid stared at her wide-eyed. "RICTU-"

"Hogsmeade!" Hagrid said quickly. "She's in Hogsmeade. There was an attack! And Hermione went to see what she could do to help."

"And Remus?"

"He went wit' her," said Hagrid, "them whole faculty did."

With that, Lily gasped and sprinted out of the office, conjuring her Firebolt as she ran towards the main doors, leading to Hogsmeade.


"Six people have been murdered?" Remus asked worriedly, looking at Dominique Delinor in concern as they looked around the burning village. "Who could have done this?"

"Do you zink zis is a plot to get to Lilee?" Dominique asked, looking down at the young woman who was lying dead beneath her; her life had been ripped away from her only moments earlier while shopping in Hogsmeade.

Remus swore loudly, which shocked the young veela. No one had ever saw Remus Lupin lose his calm and swear like that. It showed the others that Remus thought it could be a plot to get Lily. "Dominique, get back to the castle! Go find Lily and don't let her out of your sight! She should be sleeping in her dormitory."

"I will go!" came another voice before dashing off to the castle. Remus opened his mouth to protest, but Dominique placed a gentle hand on his arm, making the young werewolf turn to look at her.

"Let 'er go," she said. "It's for ze best."

Before Remus could protest again, he heard Hermione's scream in the distance.

"Remus!" Hermione shouted, as she pointed to Ackledone's Antique Shop, which was in flames. "Look!" They heard the petrified scream of the old man who lived above the shop from the inside. Hermione gasped.

"Ackledone is in there!" Hermione gasped. We have to get him out!"

"I'll do it," said Remus, as he slowly walked towards the burning shop, placing an Anti-Burning Charm on himself. He heard another scream from Mr. Ackledone and charged in, head first, his wand blazing. He stepped in and looked around.

"Mr. Ackledone?" Remus called out, guarding his eyes from the bright, orange, yellow, and red flames of the blazing fire. He kept his wand out and his face covered. He called out for Rupert Ackledone again, but still, there was no answer. But, he had only been screaming moments before.

All of the sudden, Remus began to feel uneasy. Something seemed out of place. Something was not right.


Raa smiled to himself when he heard the voice of Remus Lupin call out his name in concern. How did his Master know? The Dark Lord always knew. He had foreseen this; he knew this would happen. Slowly, but surely, Ackledone let out a small cry for help, knowing that the miserable, old werewolf would come to his aid.


Remus heard a small shuffle in the back of the shop and started towards it. That is, until, he heard a small moan from in front of the shop register. Remus bit his lip for a moment and hesitated, before dashing over to the register. He saw Ackledone laying there, curled in the fetal position. Remus was about to bend down and aid the old man when he realized something horrifying; Ackledone was actually laying in the flames, but was not on fire or being burned.

This was a trap.

Remus realized that this whole thing was a trap. But, before he could do anything, Ackledone had stood up and pointed his wand at him and screamed, "AVADA KEDEVRA!"


Raa saw a man standing before him, but the man looked uneasy; nervous. Did Remus Lupin suspect something? The Dark Lord had warned him of the intelligence of both Hermione Granger and Remus Lupin, but surely he had not figured it out. When Raa saw Lupin's hesitation to aid him, Raa quickly stood up and pointed his wand at the younger man standing before him. He gave a small grin before shouting the Killing Curse.


Lily flew her Firebolt towards the village. She could smell heavy, thick smoke and immediately urged her broom to move faster. In the distance, she could see a blazing fire taking over one of the buildings and spreading towards others.

"Go! Go!" Lily urged her Firebolt, practically lying flat against the handle of the broom, going as fast as she possibly could.

Lily knew that this whole attack on Hogsmeade was a trap in order to kill both Hermione and Remus. She just hoped she was not too late to save them.


Remus gasped as he saw the green light and sirens of death coming towards him, but he dove to his right, landing right over the register. He hid beneath it, watching the wall as the green light dimmed down.

"Ha, both my Master and I underestimated you, Lupin," sneered Ackledone's voice, from the front of the register. "Still got the strength of a twenty year old, eh?"

"Master?" Remus asked coolly. "So, you're not under the Imperious Curse?"

"No," the old man said coolly. "I have done everything I could to help the Dark Lord rid the world of those filthy Muggles and Mudbloods. Even before that wretched Harry Potter destroyed him and during his absence and after his return. I am the most loyal and honored servant. I gave him the ultimate weapon. And now that I will murder you and that Mudblood Granger, he will love me."

Remus' eyes widened when Ackledone mentioned the 'ultimate weapon,' also known as the Stone of Merlin. His breath caught in his throat.

"You're Raa?" Remus whispered, more to himself than to Ackledone.

"My name is Rupert Alexander Ackledone," Ackledone said coolly. "Yes, I am Raa."

"And you gave Voldemort the Stone of Merlin?"

"I did."

"How-?"

Remus had not been paying attention to Ackledone's movements, as he had quietly crept around the register while speaking, and was standing right in front of Remus, his wand pointed directly at his throat.

"Only two people know who Raa is, Lupin," said Ackledone coolly. "Lucius Malfoy and the Dark Lord himself. I can't have you spilling my secrets now, can I?"

Remus' eyes widened, realizing what was going to happen.

"AVADA KEDEVRA!"

Remus Lupin's last words were, "HERMIONE, IT'S A TRAP!"


"HERMIONE, IT'S A TRAP!"

Hermione knew that voice; it was Remus' voice. And those words came right after someone had screamed the wretched Killing Curse. The Headmistress stared long and hard at the tiny shop for a moment before looking at Dominique.

"I'm sorry, Professor," Dominique said quietly, gentling placing her hand on her shoulder. Hermione nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. They both knew the dreaded truth; Remus Lupin had just been murdered by the Death Eater in the shop.

"We have to get out of here," she said quickly to Dominique. "This is a trap. We need to get the faculty out of here."

At that time, Hermione heard screaming, someone screaming her name with urgency. It was coming from the sky. She looked up, pointing her wand to where she heard the call. Remus had just warned her that this whole thing was a trap, and she believed it and she was going to stay on guard. But, what did she see coming from the sky? It was her goddaughter, on a broomstick, and her wand out.

"Lily?" Hermione whispered to herself in a dreaded whisper. Lily came flying down and jumped off her broom when she reached the ground. Hermione ran towards her and grabbed her roughly, dragging her away from the burning shop.

"Lily Julia Potter, what in the bloody hell are you doing here?" Hermione hissed angrily.

"Voldemort is planning to kill you and Remus," Lily said breathlessly, ignoring Hermione's question and attitude. "He feels that no one can protect me as well as you two at Hogwarts. Once you and Remus are dead, there is no doubt it my mind that he will go after Sirius and Ron next."

Hermione just stared at Lily and then turned to Dominique.

"Would you tell-"

"I'll go get 'er and tell 'er zat Lilee is safe wiz us," Dominique said firmly, before turning around and heading back towards the castle.

"Tell who…?"

"Nevermind," Hermione said dismissively, pulling Lily to the side. "How do you know that Voldemort plans to kill Remus and me?" she asked in a whisper.

"I dreamed it," said Lily. "Voldemort is sending a man by the name of Raa to kill you."

"Raa?" Hermione choked. Lily had to have been telling the truth. She had no idea about Raa and that he was the man that gave Voldemort the Stone of Merlin. Hermione looked at the burning shop, biting her lip, knowing that Raa was probably the man inside who killed Ackledone and Remus.

Remus.

How was she going to explain to Lily that Remus was dead? That he had been murdered just as Lily had predicted? And that she had been too late to save him? Lily was studying Hermione's face and the look that dwelled on it; the panic, the worry, the fear, the concern, and the understanding. Lily knew.

"He already got Remus, didn't he?" Lily asked, in a shaky voice. "I was too late, wasn't I?"

"Lily, honey, it wasn't your fault-"

There was a high pitched scream from inside the shop, which was still burning in flames. The faculty of Hogwarts was doing all they could to make sure water poured from their wands and on to the excruciating flames. The scream sounded remarkably like an old woman's scream.

Hermione was staring strangely at the burning house. Lily looked at her in concern.

"Hermione?" she asked. "What's the matter?"

"I know that scream," was all Hermione said. She was still looking at the shop in a strange way, as though confused and concerned about something at the same time.

"Who is it?"

"HERMIONE!" the scream shouted again. Hermione gasped.

"That's my mother's voice…"


Jean Granger whimpered as the flames surrounded her husband and her. Her husband had already passed out from panic. He had a heart condition; this panic certainly was not good for him. He could be dead for all she knew. She saw the elderly man who had kidnapped her husband and herself kill a younger man, who Jean had recognized as a fellow employee and a friend of her daughter's. She was smart; Hermione had to get her brains from somewhere, and knew that this elder man, who she overheard as Raa, had used her and her husband as bait to kill this man.

Jean saw the older man, Raa, smiling evilly with his wand pointed out. He stepped over the now dead body of the young man who had come in to rescue them and walked towards her and the unconscious Earl Granger, his wand pointed at them.

"One down, one to go," he said with an evil cackle, waving his wand at Jean. Jean found that she now had regained her ability to speak. The elder man, Raa, had placed a spell on the two of them to prevent them from talking earlier.

"Why are you doing this?" she called out desperately, as he pulled her up by her hair. "Just so you could kill that man?"

"No," he said quietly. Jean looked at him pleadingly.

"Then why? Why did you kidnap us?"

"For bait," he said simply, saying a spell to levitate Earl, as he dragged her by her hair towards the front door.

"Bait for whom?" Jean Granger was getting impatient.

"Bait for your daughter." At these words, the elder woman gave a loud scream, knowing someone outside had to have heard her.

"You…you plan to murder my daughter?" Jean nearly shrieked.

"No, I plan to torture then murder your dirty Mudblood of a daughter," Raa sneered as he reached the front door of the shop. Jean nearly choked on her own spit.

"HERMIONE!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, desperately trying to warn her daughter, causing Raa to smack her straight across the face.


"Someone needs to inform the Ministry that Hogsmeade has been attacked and that Muggles Earl and Jean Granger have been captured," said Snape tonelessly to Madame Rosmerta, who nodded with tears in her eyes. She ran towards the Three Broomsticks to deliver the message.

Hermione stared at the burning shop, fear forming in her eyes. Standing around her, Dominique, whom had returned with her cousin, Fleur, and even Snape were all trying to give her some comfort.

Lily just stared at the burning shop, which looked as though it were about to fall to the floor.

"I must go," she heard Hermione say, bravely, walking towards the shop, her wand out. Lily turned to her and stood in her path.

"You can't" she protested desperately. "I dreamed it. Remus is dead. It's a trap, Hermione. You can't go inside!"

"Lily, he has my mother in there!" Hermione said angrily. "What would you do?"

"I'd think of my three children. I'd think of my husband. I'd think of my goddaughter," said Lily defensively. "Your mother wouldn't want you to sacrifice yourself for her! Would you want Eddie, Teresa, or even Anne to sacrifice their lives for you?"

"Of course not, Lily, you know that!"

"Then why would you think that your mother expects that from you? That's just bloody insane!" Lily shouted, her eyes looking glassy.

"Because she called for me," said Hermione stubbornly. "I'm not about to ignore my own mother's plea for help."

"Hermione, please, don't go," Lily pleaded, her eyes brimming with tears. She was now begging. "You're the only mother I've got…" Hermione looked down at her goddaughter, tears falling from her own eyes. She leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Lily's forehead.

"Tell Ron, Eddie, Teresa, and Anne how much I love them," she whispered. "And I love you too, Lily. I love you so much and I'm so sorry."

With that, Hermione dashed towards the house, leaving Lily in tears behind her. Lily turned to the three remaining adults behind her.

"Why the bloody hell has no one gotten Ron yet?" she said through a sob, before gripping the wand that lay beneath her robes and pulling it out...


A note from the Jitterbelle. Yes, I killed Remus. And I did not change it in the revised edition. I actually had no intentions of killing him off until I wrote this chapter. I don't know how this is going to end anymore. I'm just kind of writing as I go along. The only chapter I have planned is the next one...PLEASE DON'T HATE ME FOR KILLING REMUS! Characters need to die. This is the big battle coming up; the big one. So PLEASE don't kill me. Please let me know what you think!

P.S. I have no idea what Hermione's parents' names are. I researched it but received no answers so I gave them my own names. I did give Hermione's mother her middle name to keep it aligned with the original canon. So pardon me for my continued use of alternate universe. Thanks!
