Chapter 65

Godric's Hollow

Draco's POV

I felt bad for her. She went to bed and Lily came over to me. I took her in my arms.

"I'm sorry, darling."

"I blame that locket. I blame this whole damn mess we're in."

I felt her tears on my skin and picked her up. I carried her over to an empty bunk and laid her down.

"Try and go back to sleep. I'll be right here, I promise."

She took my hand and held it tightly to her chest. I kissed her temple and pulled the blanket over her. It was getting colder and the little furnace we had could only do so much. Potter was sitting at the opening to the tent.

"I'm sorry, Potter."

He looked at me and nodded, but he didn't say anything.

"Look, I may not like Weasley, but I know he's your best mate. And I know it's gotta suck that he's gone. But I'm pretty sure he'll come back."

"I don't know this time." he said.

I stopped trying after that. I looked down at Lily again and squeezed her hand. I laid down next to her and put my arms around her. She snuggled against me and I smiled a bit.

"I love you." I whispered.

Harry's POV

Seeing Malfoy and my sister together made me miss Ginny more and more. I wished more than anything I could write to her, tell her I was alright. But if I did that and they found out, they'd torture her to get to me, and I'd never allow that.

The next morning we decided to move on. Hermione tied her scarf to a tree and I didn't say anything about it. I knew she was leaving it in case Ron came back to find us. We disapparated to a random location and started walking. In truth I had no idea where we were going.

"What if we go to Spinner's End? Maybe the sword is there?"

Lily shook her head.

"No. Dad would've never hidden it there. That's the first place they'd look. Plus they're sure to be watching in case I come back."

Malfoy put his arm around her.

"Where do you think he hid it?" Hermione asked.

She looked sad.

"Before all this I might've known. Now... I feel like he kept everything from me. As though he never told me the truth."

"Right, that's enough. No more Snape talk." Malfoy said. "At least until she says so."

I agreed and we set up camp for the night.

After Lily and Malfoy had gone to sleep, I walked over to Hermione. The radio was playing an old song. I took the locket off her and then set it on the table next to my sister. I held out my hand and then danced with her. She hadn't said much since Ron left and she needed a little cheering up. I got her to smile and even laugh a little bit. I hoped that what Malfoy said turned out to be true. That Ron would come back. When the song ended we stopped. Hermione smiled suddenly.

"Someone is having a nice dream."

I turned and almost laughed. My sister was completely wrapped up in Malfoy's arms with a smile on her face. Both of them were snuggled under a blanket and sleeping peacefully.

"Maybe he's not so bad after all." I said.

Hermione smiled a bit and nodded.

Lily's POV

I woke up in Draco's warm arms. I smiled and kissed his chin. I looked around and heard Harry and Hermione outside. I slowly smiled and turned my attention back to Draco. I carefully got on top of him and his eyes flew open.

"Lily?"

I smiled and leaned down to kiss him. I felt his hands go to my hips and squeeze. He stopped suddenly and I leaned back.

"Where's Granger and your brother?"

I reached down and started undoing his belt.

"Shh! Outside. So we don't have a lot of time to be alone."

He smirked and sat up, crushing his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and moaned softly. His hand moved down to my bottom and he squeezed gently. I knew he wanted me as much as I wanted him. His lips moved to my neck and I bit my lip to keep myself from moaning. His hands moved up my back and I looked into his eyes. I smiled and put my hand on his cheek. He leaned into my hand and kissed my palm and then each of my fingers.

"I love you." he whispered.

I kissed him in response and he laid back. I managed to get my hands under his shirt to feel his hard abs. I could feel him getting harder and I wanted him.

"Lily."

I pulled his pants down far enough to where I could release his throbbing cock. I pulled down my jeans and underwear before sinking down on him. His eyes slammed shut and he grabbed my hips. He started to move me back and forth. I was finding it hard to keep quiet. He bucked his hips and I kissed him to keep us both quiet. He moaned into my mouth and wove his fingers into my hair. He rolled me onto my back and started slamming into me. His cock stroking every inch of me. I held him tightly as we came together, his essence mixing with mine. We quickly pulled our jeans back on just in case Hermione and Harry came back. He moved so I could lay on top of him.

"We'll have more opportunities to do this. It's just chaotic right now." I told him.

He slowly rubbed my back.

"I'm gonna hold you to that."

I chuckled. I looked up and kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around me. We forgot just how small the bunk was and we fell to the floor and started laughing. He tucked a lock of hair behind my ear and stroked my cheek.

"You're so beautiful." he said softly.

He moved his hand down my neck and took my necklace in his hand.

"I told you I was never gonna take it off." I told him.

He smiled and laughed a bit.

"I believed you then."

"Oi! We're coming in and you better not be doing anything ghastly!" came Harry's voice.

I smirked and kissed Draco passionately.

"For god's sake!"

We separated and I winked at Draco. He chuckled and we stood up.

"We're going to Godric's Hollow. We think the sword might be there."

Godric's Hollow. Where Harry and I were born. Where it all began. I took Draco's hand but didn't look at him.

"Lily?"

I looked at my brother.

"Dad might've hidden it there. It would make sense."

Harry's POV

I couldn't tell what she was feeling. I would guess it was the same as me. We packed up and disapparated.

It was snowing when we arrived.

"I still think we should've used polyjuice."

"No. This is where Lily and I were born. We're not coming back here as someone else." I said.

Lily nodded and took Malfoy's hand. The four of us slowly walked down the street. A man stumbled out of a pub laughing and somewhere a bell began to ring.

"I think it's Christmas Eve." Hermione said.

There was a choir singing somewhere close by. I stopped when we came to a graveyard.

Lily's POV

"Do you think they'd be in there?" Harry asked.

We walked in and started looking around. It wasn't a very large graveyard so it didn't take too long. Harry, Draco and I stopped in front of the grave. Hermione came up behind us. Draco took my hand but I didn't say anything. Hermione knelt down and created a small wreath of white roses. None of us said anything. I stared at my mum's name and a few tears rolled down my cheeks. I wondered why dad never brought me here, after I found out I was adopted that is. The bell once more began to ring.

"Merry Christmas." Harry said softly.

I wished my dad could be here with me. We left the graveyard and kept going. I grabbed Harry's sleeve when I saw it.

"Harry."

There it was. Our house.

"Do you reckon dad might've hidden the sword there?" I asked.

"You know him better than I do."

"Guys, there's someone watching us." Hermione whispered.

Draco pulled me behind him and I saw an old woman.

"That's Bathilda Bagshot." Draco said quietly.

"What if she has the sword?"

"Right, I say Lily and I check the house. You and Granger can check with her." Draco said.

"Since when do you get to make decisions?" Harry growled.

"Draco's plan is good and you know it. Go, but be careful."

He rolled is eyes but nodded. I took a deep breath and opened the gate, but I hesitated when we got to the door. Draco took my hand and guided it to the doorknob. I opened the door and we walked in. Everything was a mess. I moved into the living room and looked towards the stairs. I held onto Draco's hand as we walked up. We moved through the rubble and into the first bedroom. This one was more intact than the rest of the house. There was a picture of my mum and James on a beside table. I thought that Harry might want it so I put it in my bag.

"Lily."

Draco was in the hall, staring into the other bedroom. I slowly walked over and looked inside. Two cribs. Tears came to my eyes and I fell to my knees.

"Lily?!"

"This is where my mum died. This is where dad found her." I said.

Draco put his arms around me and held me to his chest.

Draco's POV

My heart broke for her. I looked around the room. The roof was destroyed and the snow was falling in. The broken beams from the ceiling had destroyed what was once a rocking chair. I stood up and walked over to the pink crib. There was a broken doll, a ripped blanket and a plush bear with an L on it. I took out my wand and picked up the blanket. There was a lily embroidery on it.

"Reparo."

The blanket returned to its original state and I smiled. I turned back and knelt down beside Lily.

"Here."

She looked up and slowly took the blanket. She smiled through her tears and hid her face in my chest.

"Come on, darling. I don't think the sword is here." I said gently.

I stood her up and we walked out. Once we were outside I looked back at the house.

"You don't know how happy I am." I looked at her. "That you survived that attack."

She looked at me and I wiped away her tears.

'I know that coming here was hard for you."

"I wouldn't have been able to do it without you." she said.

Before I could say anything else, we heard a loud bang.

"Harry! Hermione!"

We ran towards the sound and into the house. Lily screamed when she saw the snake. I cast a curse but it didn't even scratch the damn thing.

"LILY!"

I grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the snake.

"Harry!"

He was unconcious! I was closest to him. I looked at Lily.

"I love you."

I kissed her quickly and made a run for Potter.

"DRACO!"

The snake bit my shoulder but I managed to get Potter by the hand. Someone grabbed my arm and then apparated. That was the last thing I remembered.
