Chapter 13 – Plan A:
"Oh for Merlin's sake, Asher!" said Lily frustrated and rolling her eyes impatiently. She was looking at Asher with a disgusted look on her face; he was eating like he had not been fed in years.
"You seriously cannot be contemplating eating another plate of bacon and eggs," said Robby astonished, looking at him as though she had never seen another quite like him before. Asher somehow managed a smile with his cheeks full of eggs
"You've already had six!" said Lily incredulously.
"I growing boy needs his food!"
"Yeah, but come on! Six helpings?"
"Lily-" started Eddie. She ignored him.
"Six helpings?"
"Lils-" said Eddie a little louder. She still ignored him.
"Six helpings!?"
"Lily!" shouted Eddie. Lily looked up startled at his sudden outburst; it was evident that she was not blatantly ignoring Eddie, but rather just did not hear him. Harry, Robby, Asher, and Eddie all laughed at her startled look and she narrowed her eyes at them.
"If Asher wants to get fat then let him," said Eddie reasonably, once he regained his composure. Lily shrugged and returned to her own breakfast. At that moment, Hermione got to her feet at the staff table and cleared her throat, gaining the attention of the students and staff. Harry looked up at her curiously, though the rest of them looked like they knew what the announcement would be about.
"As you all may know, Halloween is vastly approaching," started Hermione. Hushed, excited whispers began arising throughout the Great Hall. Harry's curiosity increased. "At this time I would like to announce they will be having our annual Halloween Ball is on Halloween Night. Dress robes will be required and the dress code will be strictly enforced. Details will be posted on the daily bulletin. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your breakfast." Hermione sat back down in her place at the head of the table and continued talking to Remus. Harry looked over at his new friends.
"Hogwarts has a yearly Halloween Ball?" he asked slowly, clearly not happy with the situation. Lily rolled her eyes.
"They have yearly balls for every holiday," she said bitterly as she turned to look over at her friends. "So, who are you guys going to ask?"
Eddie and Asher immediately began stuttering over their words, shrugging, and blushing. Harry grinned at the sight as Robby went into a fit of giggles. The embarrassment and giggling immediately stopped when Harry, Eddie, and Robby, who were sitting across from Lily, looked up at and glared at whatever was standing behind her.
"Well, I know who I'm asking," said a cold voice from behind Lily. Harry's eyes opened with horror and fury as Eddie jumped to his feet. Robby gasped and Asher whipped around angrily, swearing loudly. Lily, who recognized the voice; her eye's just widened slightly and she turned around slowly, ready to use her own string of profanities. But, before she could do or say anything, someone had pressed their lips against her own.
Lily did not feel or think anything. She saw red and there were no controlling her actions. Filled with fury, and not fully understanding what she was doing, Lily pushed Daris Malfoy off of her. Eddie pulled out his wand as Harry followed suit, getting to his own two feet. Asher and Robby's mouths dropped to the floor, not fully comprehending what had just happened. A green fire was blazing in Lily's eyes.
"GET YOUR FILTHY LIPS OFF MINE, YOU SLIME!" roared Lily, storming towards Malfoy and pushing him against the wall. She pushed him so hard that he grunted in pain and almost stumbled to the ground, but he managed to catch himself. Lily, who was still overcome with rage, did nott even bother using her fists this time. She just took out her wand and immediately started hexing Malfoy with every hex, curse, and spell that could somehow manage to flow through her furious mind.
"HARRY! EDDIE! GET ME SOME MOUTH WASH IMMEDIATELY!" bellowed Lily. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Asher could not help but laugh at Lily's comment.
"ASHER, ROBBY, GET ME SOME DISINFECTINE, RIGHT NOW!" Lily's yelling and shouting did not cease as she continued to curse Malfoy, who was now unconscious. Eddie grinned as Harry sighed with defeat, looking tired and worried. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Harry pointed his wand at Lily.
"Expelliarmus!" said Harry in a tired voice, disarming Lily. When her wand suddenly flew out of her hand, she turned to Harry with a furious expression on her usual good natured face. The fire flaming in her eyes most certainly frightened Harry, but he stood his ground.
"Harry, give me my wand back," hissed Lily in a low, dangerous voice. It sent chills down both Harry and Eddie's spines.
"No," said Harry simply. Lily's eyes widened and she looked as though she was going to charge at Harry, but Eddie stepped in.
"Lils," started Eddie, half laughing nervously, "Malfoy is unconscious. You need to please calm down."
Lily whipped back around and looked down at Malfoy to see that Eddie was right; he was unconscious. With a clearly disgusted look on her face, she used to the sleeve of her robe to roughly wipe her mouth continuously.
"GET ME MOUTHWASH!" she screamed suddenly. Asher laughed as Robby slowly
took out her wand.
"Accio, mouthwash," said Robby, waving her wand. It was only moments before a small bottle of mouthwash zoomed towards her. She caught it gracefully and handed it to Lily. Lily snatched the mouthwash and drank it with one swallow. When the mouthwash was in her mouth, she shook her head left to right and up and down, moving the liquid around in her mouth to make sure she got every nook and cranny of her now 'infected' mouth. Her friends watched her in amusement; Harry thought she resembled a cavewoman trying to communicate with her head spinning around like that. When she was satisfied that mouth was clean enough, she then turned to Malfoy's unconscious body and spit out the mouthwash on to his face.
"There's your disgusting kiss!" snapped Lily snapped as she kept spitting on Malfoy. Robby caught Harry's eye and stared wide-eyed, as though she could not believe what Lily was, doing. Harry sighed again and ran a nervous hand through his already jet-black hair. But, despite his nervousness and frustration, he could not help but think that Hermione was right; Lily could take care of herself when it came to boys.
The reason why Harry was so worried was because he could not help but wonder why Malfoy, Lily's enemy, was asking her to the ball? Harry wrapped his brains around, trying desperately to think of a solution and protect his daughter. Then it came to him; the look Malfoy gave him yesterday at breakfast after the fight. He had asked Harry about a mark on his forehead. Did Malfoy making advances on Lily have anything to do with it? Did Malfoy really suspect something? He bit his lip and chanced a glance at Lily. She was glaring dangerously at Malfoy, still screaming profanities when Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her out of earshot of everyone in the Great Hall, where students and staff were beginning to gather around to see what had happened.
"Harry, what the bloody hell are you doing?" snarled Lily. "I wasn't through with Malfoy!"
"You've done enough damage, Lily," said Harry firmly. "Besides, this is important."
"What could be so important to stop me from beating the bloody hell out of Malfoy?" asked Lily impatiently.
"I think Malfoy suspects something," said Harry fiercely. Lily immediately stopped ranting and raging and looked at him strangely.
"Suspects what?" asked Lily blankly. Harry sighed and lifted up his bangs. At first, Lily did not understand. She looked at Harry with an annoyed look on her face before her eyes widened, realizingg what Harry was telling her. "But...show could he have possibly found out?"
"Oh c'mon, you saw the look he gave me yesterday!" said Harry impatiently. "I may hate the Malfoys but I cannot say that they are stupid."
"I can," interrupted Lily. Harry ignored her and continued his rant.
"Lily, I think Malfoy knows who I am," said Harry, almost desperately. "I mean, why else would he ask you to the ball? It's not because he has some secret love for you! He wants to test his theory and see how I react."
Lily stared at him for a moment, clearly trying to soak in what Harry was trying to tell her. She finally turned around, rubbing her face in fear and frustration, swearing under her breath.
"Bloody hell," she muttered, pulling at the end of her hair. "Harry, this isn't good."
"No! You think?" asked Harry sarcastically.
"No, I mean, this really isn't good," said Lily a bit more firmly. "It's even worse than you think."
"What do you mean?" asked Harry nervously. Lily sighed and turned to face him, grabbing him by the shoulders and looking him square in the eye.
"Harry, I know people say Voldemort is dead. But, Sirius, Remus, the Weasleys, and I know better. He is very well alive and out there somewhere," explained Lily seriously. Her eyes never left Harry's. "He still has his Death Eaters supporting him."
"How do you know he is alive?" asked Harry fearfully.
"Will you stop asking questions for one minute so I can explain something to you?" snapped Lily. Harry narrowed his eyes, but put his hands up in defense. "Thank you! Now like I was saying; Voldemort he still has his Death Eaters and they are still extremely loyal to him."
"But, what does that have to do with Daris Malfoy?" asked Harry slowly. "Is he a Death Eater?" Lily rolled her eyes impatiently.
"No, but Draco Malfoy, Daris Malfoy's father, is the most deadly Death Eater alive!" explained Lily earnestly. "If he gets wind of you being here and that you're from the past…"
Harry swore loudly.
"Terrific!" Harry said sarcastically. "This is just perfect."
"Don't give me that attitude, Harry," said Lily, throwing her hands up in frustration. "Your sarcasm is not going to help the situation." Harry raised an eyebrow at her.
"You're lecturing me about my attitude? You're one to talk," said Harry with a slight grin on his face. Lily glared at him, but then could not help but smile as well. She turned serious rather quickly.
"We have to make sure Malfoy doesn't get any more suspicious about you being who you really are," said Lily seriously. Harry titled his head slightly and looked at her curiously.
"How do we make sure of that?"
"You know how Malfoy asked me to the Halloween Ball?"
"How could I forget? You were spitting mouthwash at him."
"We're you going to flip out and curse him to death?" asked Lily wearing a lopsided grin that looked almost identical to his own. It freaked him out.
"Yeah, I was going to curse him like mad," said Harry slowly, "but I think you took care of that."
"You can't go around cursing guys for asking me out. That will just confirm Malfoy's theory." Lily said, looking somber. "Malfoy knew you would flip out about you asking me to the Halloween Ball if you were really my future father." There was a long pause. "Do you get what I am saying, Harry?"
"Err...I think so," muttered Harry. Lily rolled her eyes.
"And, you are supposed to become a famous Auror?" asked Lily sarcastically. Harry looked at her wide-eyed.
"I become a famous Auror?" he asked excitedly. Harry could tell that Lily was trying as hard as she could to not throw her temper out at him. It was obvious that patience was not one of her virtues.
"You're famous anyway," said Lily dryly. "You're the Boy Who Lived, remember?" Harry glared at her and had an urge to lecture her about her attitude. But, she was already irritated and he was no mood to fight with her at the moment.
"So what do you suggest we do Miss I-Need-An-Attitude-Adjustment?" asked Harry coldly.
"What was that supposed mean?" asked Lily angrily. Harry rolled his eyes and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"Nevermind," he muttered, still not in the mood to fight with her. "So, what do you think we should do about Malfoy?"
"Other than you keeping your fatherly instincts in check, I'm really not sure if there is anything else we can do," sad Lily, biting her lip.
"Oh Merlin, Lily Potter doesn't know what to do?" Harry asked in an overly dramatic voice, putting his hand over his heart. "What is this world coming to? Before you know it, Snape will be giving out candy!"
"Har har har!" replied Lily sarcastically. "I don't have time for your sarcastic remarks."
"I was only trying to lighten the mood!" snapped Harry defensively
"Just don't do anything stupid, Harry," said Lily, "Just don't go cursing Malfoy for winking at me or something; stop being so obvious."
"Alright, I get it," said Harry, in a defeated tone. "I'll relax."
Lily nodded but let out a frustrated groan and headed back to the Gryffindor table, followed by Harry, who was scratching his head curiously. Lily had never met someone so infuriating and Harry's thoughts were on the same lines.
'How can someone so stubborn and tempermental be my daughter,' Harry thought to himself.
'How can someone so oblivious and infuriating be my father,' Lily thought to herself.
Before any of them could ponder any more on how each of them angered the other, they reached the Gryffindor table the curious faces of three fifth year friends
"Hey guys," said Lily, smiling, or least trying to. She was still frustrated with Harry. Sure, Lily knew she was angry at him for a stupid reason, but maybe it would be good enough to get him off her back.
"My mum said you're in a heap of trouble," said Eddie. "She wants you to go straight to her office after your classes."
"What else is new?" asked Lily dryly.
Eddie, Asher, and Robby all grinned, got up and followed Lily and Harry out of the Great Hall and to their first class.
It was a few hours later before Daris Malfoy had awaken in the hospital growling and glowering about Plan A had failed.
