A/N: Still don't own Harry Potter!

Thank you all for reading and reviewing!

"Lily, we've been walking for nearly an hour. We should head back, your parents are probably worried about you."

"Let them worry. My dad's a total git!" Lily screamed tears streaming down her face. Draco pulled her to him, wiping her tears away with his hand.

"It'll be dark soon."

Lily sniffled and looked at him.

"Scared of the dark?"

"No, of things that hide in it. Your father's not wrong about there being a resurgence of Death Eaters. I've heard rumors," he answered. "Lily, I don't want you out after dark, I know you can take care of yourself, but..."

"I know, no reason to do something stupid and put myself in potential danger... I know, I've heard it before, Dad's said similar things. Where are we anyway?"

"No idea. Still in the wizarding world though."

"We could hide in muggle London, get a room in one of those...hotels..." she suggested a gleam in her eye.

"We could, but, no. We are not going to do that, Lily. I know you're of age, I know you've been waiting, I've been waiting too, but not tonight. I don't want you to do something that serious, something that important to both of us when you're doing it to piss off your father." Lily scoffed.

"Fine. I guess we should find somewhere to stay the night though. I doubt I'll be welcomed at home. I think my father's made that quite obvious."

"I could sneak you into Hogwarts. My chambers have a very comfortable couch," Draco offered. Lily laughed, the remnants of the tears glistening on her cheeks.

"And have Headmistress McGonagall catch me sleeping on your couch? Or have my dad convince someone you kidnapped me...yeah, no." Draco nodded. At least Lily had stopped crying long enough to start thinking a little clearer.

"Uncle Severus and Aunt Hermione's?" Lily suggested after a moment. They were the only people who knew about the couple and wouldn't immediately turn Lily in to her parents.

"They'll at least let us stay the night. We can figure out where to go from there. Alright. Want to apparate us? I know you can."

Lily nodded taking Draco's arm and scrunching up her face. The world spun around the pair and they landed with a 'thud' on Hermione and Severus' front porch. Lily didn't even have to knock before the door opened. Hermione stared at her niece and sighed in relief.

"In, the both of you. Lily, your mother is worried sick about you. Draco, nice to see you again," Hermione stated as Severus activated the floo to let Ginny know Lily was safe.

"And dad?" Lily asked.

"Is still being..." Hermione paused trying to think of a word to describe Harry's behavior.

"Harry. He's still being Harry freaking Potter, savior of the wizarding world and giant arse," Draco muttered. Lily rolled her eyes trying not to laugh.

"Can we stay here tonight? I don't think I'm wanted back home," she asked.

"Of course, in separate rooms...I mean it, Lily. Lily, you can sleep in Rose's old room, Draco, you know where the guest room is." Lily glared but nodded.

"It's just as well, Lily. School will be starting soon, thankfully. We'll have to go back to..."

"I know, I know, but," Lily whispered snuggling against Draco. "I just don't want...to be alone."

"Lily, your mother would like to speak with you."

Lily looked at Severus and sighed.

"Tell her she can come through," Lily said, trying to keep her voice level.

"She's waiting for you in the sitting room."

Lily grabbed Draco's hand.

"Come with me?"

"I would love to, Lily, but I think this needs to be a conversation between you and your mother. I love you, nothing is going to change that, I promise," Draco whispered pulling Lily into a deep kiss. She wrapped her arms around him returning the kiss with just as much passion.

`"I love you too, Draco," she whispered before walking towards the sitting room.
