Big Decisions
They were there with her, her parents. She hardly ever saw them. They were always gone, always working. An old man stood with them. She had never met him before, but she knew who he was. Dumbldore. How many times had Sirius told her about him and how wonderful he was? He was looked at her now, and she could see the fear in his eyes. Hatred that wasn't for her, but for the wizards who attacked that night.
"Lily," he said, "can you tell us what happened tonight?" Lily nodded and her parents sat down on either side of her. Sirius sat next to his godson. Lily looked over at Sarah; she looked more confused than scared. Lily told them about them spotting the wizards at the game and how one had followed them in here.
"Can you describe any of them?" Ginny asked.
"Well," said Lily, "they all had masks on, but the one who followed us in here had pale, blond hair. He was followed by two other muscular wizards just before you arrived."
"Malfoy," said Harry. Lily could now see the hatred welling up in her own father. "How could they have found her?"
"Harry," said Dumbledore, "I think that it is time." Ginny nodded at her husband. Harry took a deep, shuddering breath. Sirius had grabbed Harry's shoulder. Harry started: he told her all about Voldemort, her grandparents, the death eaters, and his meetings with the dark lord. When he was done, they just sat in silence for a few minutes.
Then the door opened. It was a man a few years older than her father. He was wearing robes of black and horned-rimmed glasses. His red hair gave him away.
"Uncle Percy!" Lily stood up to greet her mother's brother. He hugged her and then looked to her parents.
"Harry, Ginny, Dumbledore, Black," he hugged his sister and shook everyone's hands. "Ron and Hermione are outside wiping memories and healing muggles. Quite a mess, quite a mess. There had to be at least 50 deatheaters plus you-know-you." Ginny gasped and Sirius tightened his grip on Harry's shoulder. Dumbledore nodded his head sadly. He looked at Harry.
"It is time," he said. Everyone nodded.
"For what?" asked Lily. She looked scared.
"For you to attend Hogwarts," said her mother. Sarah was looking confused again. "A wizarding school in Europe," Ginny explained. She looked at Dumbledore, "Sarah might as well keep her memory. She might find a time when she needs our help." Dumbledore nodded. Sarah was staring at them in disbelief.
"I'll drive you home, Sarah," said Sirius. He pulled out to car keys and led Sarah and Lily out to his SAAB, but Lily stopped him.
"Wait!" she cried, "I've got my car here too!" She pulled out the keys to her red convertible.
"I don't want you to go alone," said Sirius, he led them back to the feild where wizards were working hard to cover everything up. We waved to a girl with curly hair about the color of Lily's. The girl came running. She was wearing a white, sleevless robe with a hood that she had left down. "This is your cousin, Molly Weasley. She's about a year older than you. She'll ride home with you. Wands out girls." Then he took Sarah back to his car.
The rest of the night was long and silent. Lily's house with about 10 miles away in the country hidden by woods and tall trees. They drove up tortous rode trough dark forests.
"So this is really your last week at school here?" asked Sara at school on Monday. Lily nodded. "So, what's going to happen?"
"Well," said Lily, "My parents will take me to Diagon Alley for school supplies, then we'll go to Hogsmeade, and then to Hogwarts. I'll be staying with one of the teachers so they can watch out for me. I doubt any death-eater is going to come near me while I'm at Hogwarts."
I'm too tired to write more so you'll have to wait until the next chapter.
