Chapter X – [Wounds]
If you were very observant you could see individual people moving toward them, all with wands out. This was not an act of caution; someone was really actually after all the Potters…weren't they? As prestigious as the Potters' were… they did have their enemies: on the light side not only on the dark. She could only think of the worst at that moment.
Lily grabbed her wand and focused her mind (While trying not to panic) "Ischaemicayo" next to her she could hear Tom, Melissa and Lauren saying the same spell. They were activating the powerful spell to control their body and the cronies: Extra backup. She didn't think they'd need them, heck, she didn't know any scumbag snotball evil shit could get past them.
Tom huddled them all together, "The others know, I'm convinced there's something dangerous going on. But then again, we haven't been trained that well in these situations yet. Walk, don't run, be subtle but make sure whoever is behind this knows we mean it oh and be safe everyone. Communicate through the spells you've been taught. As usual we will not underestimate the enemy."
Lily nodded in agreement, she was just about to speak when Vanessa walked up to them, "I don't think they've left the building so the north wing is our answer, whoever is behind this underestimated us, they should be all there,"
"Don't be so sure" Lily replied sharply, "Whoever is behind this wouldn't have been so stupid- traps could be at the entrance" She bit her lip, thinking of the worst as well.
Tom started, "All of you, I think it's best if we… move in as soon as possible- no time to waste. But we need a solid plan, I want blue prints of this building, I want all exits blocked, all windows sealed, no one is to know, we're going to make this as discreet as we can. Melissa, take a group and set traps all around the walls of this building, no ones go out, no one goes in. I'll let you know if an evacuation will take place"
Melissa nodded and went on ahead of the group with 5 other Aurors.
"Great, Great, Great… the first year I go to the annual ball the first major problem I get," Tom muttered, "Miss Potter? We've got to keep you safe," he turned towards Sarah.
"Wait… should I be worried here, shouldn't I? What's happening?"
"No, we're just being cautious. It's just a bit suspicious that all of your family isn't in the hall, if they left they would've told you. We're experienced; we know what we're doing. Actually, I suggest that one of our people should accompany you for now"
Sarah rolled her eyes. Lily nodded and shoved Maurice in front of Tom, "Maurice will do"
"No… I want to help, I have to help" Sarah said. Now, it was the matter of who was sent after the Potters'. Panic overcame her head as her breaths became short.
"No…I'm afraid I'll have to take you somewhere safe" Tom gently gripped her arm.
"Go on Miss Potter" Lily said in a tone of absolute well…no emotion could clearly name her feeling at that moment.
Vanessa looked at Lily sharply, but was ignored.
"Who is it?" Sarah suddenly asked sharply to all of them, "Who was sent after my family? (pant)Voldemort? Deatheaters? Heaven forbid, The Longbottoms?!"
She was almost hyperventilating by now. She could feel her energizing potion she took an hour ago was wearing off already.
"Miss-"
"Ahh! Don't twist around with me- you know I know that you know that I (pant) have every right to know…aren't you people supposed to be professional about these things?!(wheeze)" her voice full of panic.
She disappeared stumbling into the crowd, only to fall in exhaustion by a nearby able, she then struggled to run…
Maurice went after her but he was soon lost.
~!~!~!~
She ran into Sirius head on, "Whoa…What's wrong Sarah?"
"There's something wrong. (wheeze)The whole family isn't in the hall-(pant) I didn't think it would be this big- the extreme Aurors,(wheeze) even they are panicking!(wheeze) I think it's all been planned."
Sirius gripped her shoulders, "Where? Sarah where are they?"
Sarah shook her head, "They-(pant) I don't know! (wheeze) north wing!"
His darting eyes scanned the hall, he couldn't see a thing out of place. But then he saw Ana Giles- he dashed off into the crowd leaving Sarah with Remus and Peter., "Remus, Pete, stay here with Sarah."
Remus helped Sarah into her chair and tried to calm her down, she was trying to tell him she wanted to help the others.
"I'll get her some water, Remus for you some aspirin??" Peter offered.
Remus looked up and nodded , "yeah- I usually has some in my jacket pocket, it's over in coat closet back at the entrance, I've got water here"
When given water she refused it and shook her head, "I'm fine, just give me a second" she took a swig from a small vile she had tucked away in her dress, she immediately felt more energised then ever.
"What the hell was that?"
Sarah squeezed her eyes shut and jumped up from her seat, "Never you mind boy. Let's go I'm fine" she ran off following the path that Sirius took. As she ran the small glass vile fell from the folds of her dress, instinctively Remus caught it, he had to know what she took; it couldn't have been legal.
By then Peter had come back, Remus grabbed him and dragged him, following after her while Peter was trying to think…
~*~*~
Lily swiftly made her way to the north wing, avoiding the dancing partners dancing to the very loud music. There was no intention for the moment for an evacuation. Her stomach churned, why did she have to come to the ball again? Why did this have to happen to the Potters? Why did it have to happen to her?? She reached the door and saw most of the team already there, unnoticed by the people in the hall with an illusion spell. "Vanessa, how can you be so sure they're in here?"
"I placed a charmed monitor around the hall, registering every spell, charm, hex and curse that goes on. The guards at the door would've warned us if anything *strange* happened at the door. All the other wings have been checked out. North was lucky last. It's our winner. The only spell that happened in there was a simple summoning charm, probably to capture their wands.
~*~*~
James felt another drop of sweat drip down his cheek, he glared at Atrox as she walked casually around the Potters with speculation, he thought back at his actions when Malfoy told him what to do, maybe he should have gone about it another way; he had told the others he had gone to the toilets, he gave Sarah slightly meaningful looks as he passed around the huge crowd dancing, he couldn't exactly tell her about it, Malfoy was watching him like a hawk. He hoped that this Malfoy did not know about Sarah, if he did they were in deeper shit than he knew. She should've noticed something by now, said something to Sirius and Remus or someone being the worrywart she could be. The thought of Malfoy realising one Potter was missing made a shiver run down his spine, but then the thought of the look ion his face now wondering if all Potters' were there made him even more nervous.
"You are insane Malfoy" James spat in fury.
"Don't James…for once, just shut up" his mother hissed at him.
Atrox looked at him and gave him a quite insane grin, "Well, maybe I am but then again, I believe it's you and the rest of you who are insane, for being mudblood and muggle lovers, especially you James" he laughed at the ceiling and looked back at James. "You and that…whatsher name…the dead one..?"
"Shut up Malfoy, you don't know what you're talking about" James half yelled ignoring his mother.
"But I do, Potter! The dead chic who was head girl…that mudblood bitch who probably slept with someone to get so high a position" with that he winked at James.
James' blood boiled and bubbled, he strained his wrists against his restraints and rattled his chair, letting out a roar of fury, suddenly the ropes disappeared and James took that opportunity to lunge at Malfoy, a hard punch came hurtling towards Malfoy's nose butas soon as he realised of what had happened, another came right at him.
But somehow Malfoy kept his balance, and he held the gun out in front of James. James froze, he tries to quickly slap the gun out of his grip but Malfoy dodged his hand- and pulled the trigger.
James heard his mother cry out in despair, he felt a sharp burning pain in his thigh, he had been shot, and he was losing consciousness… but then again… how the hell could he have been so stupid?
~*~*~
The pain in his thigh was immense, James winced as he keeled into a ball of pain, his blood stained his white shirt. He heard his mother crying and his other aunts. He glared as he heard Malfoy's evil laugh, he looked up as smiled slightly at how much Atrox was bleeding from both nostrils.
"Oh, my James!-"
He gave his mother a brave smile, then he realised he was back in his restraints. He was in a inconspicuous corner.
Malfoy walked toward his mum and gagged her, "Don't touch her!" James heard his dad yell, in reply he got a punch in the stomach.
James was in anguish, "You prick!" All he got back was a smirk.
Malfoy bowed and said out loud, "To start this wonderful massacre… I starting with this little one" James watched in horror as he saw Atrox Malfoy pick up his baby cousin. He couldn't do anything… He closed his eyes as he heard the gun shot and the cries of a baby.
Somehow, Sirius got to the North wing entrance before the Extreme Aurors; maybe it was because he ran around the crowd and not through he opened the doors but felt a hand on his shoulder, "Black, what the hell, are you up to?"
Sirius didn't have to even think about who it was, "Snape, that is so none of your business"
Severus smirked with satisfaction; he always had that gift of constantly irritating Black, even though it was mutual.
"Ugh, if you must know-"
"Sirius!" Sarah hissed, "Why must you run so damn fast"
Severus' face fell as he saw Sarah, and it was clear he was being ignored now, "What are all you doing here?"
He didn't get any reply as Sarah barged past him and quicked her pace, almost tripping on her dress, "Damn it!"
Sirius didn't have the time to question why Sarah was up and running again so quickly. He had taken out his pocket knife. He had tried to "alohomora" the door, but it didn't work, Sirius was now shaking the door handle.
"We're saving the James, Snape" Remus quickly stated.
Meanwhile Peter was quite nervous, what was he to do now? but that soon changed, "Snape"
Severus was about to spit at the stupid rat but then he saw the look in Peter's eyes; there was so much evil, realisation dawned over his face, hey what could he say? He was quick! "Malfoy!"
Sarah stopped to glare.
"Wh-what?! What do you know? Is he behind this?" Remus exclaimed.
He looked back at Peter but he was gone and Severus could see him glaring back with his wand out behind Sarah's back, Peter shook his head, daring Severus to tell. And in a very unlike –Peter manner he said, "Let's go!" He barged through the door the newly unlocked door due to Sirius' pocket knife.
They were met by a long hall way at the end; two French doors. Peter ran for it, dragging Sarah along with him. Quickly Severus took out his wand but realised that Peter could easily shove Sarah in front of any spell he threw at him.
So he ran, as fast as he had ever gone, he could hear Sirius and Remus behind him, telling Peter to wait up. Once Severus reached Peter and Sarah he whammed the back of Pete's head to the wall, they both fell, Snape got up leaving Peter out cold, "Leave Pettigrew, there's no time"
'Surprisingly' Remus went to tend to Peter, but then they heard a huge bang, "Shit, that's a gun" Sirius whispered. "James!"
Remus stood up and held Sirius back, "Okay Peter can wait. We've got to be stealthy, you barge through that door and you'll eat a bullet!"
"The werewolf is right"
Sirius growled, "Snape…" he looked sideways to Sarah.
Remus waved his hand, "She knows Sirius, forget it…And so does Lily. Right, I'll go in first" He transfigured his tie into a gun and quietly opened the door.
Sarah stood slightly dazed, Remus had said 'And so does Lily' not 'did'., Someone else had hope…
The room was huge, and stunk like newly painted walls, he looked behind him, No one bothered with Peter, all three of them were behind him. He wondered what to do and when… who was shot? And then he heard from around the corner …"To start this wonderful massacre… starting with this little one".
Remus, in a wave of fury, jumped out from behind the corner aiming at the man in black who held the baby, Remus pulled the trigger…
But nothing happened.
"Shit!" He cursed.
The man turned his head, Remus wasn't surprised to see who it was…
Atrox Malfoy.
~*~*~
"-so what the hell are we waiting for?" Lily half yelled at Vanessa. "let's go in"
Vanessa shook her head, "No…don't, the room has been magic-proofed, the guy could have explosives, guns"
"A death eaters wouldn't have muggle weapons, it's expected that they should hate all things muggle" Melissa pointed out.
"Yes! Exactly! That's expected! Most likely they'll do the unexpected, if they had guns, you won't be able to stop bullets with spells, and the room is magic- proof"
Melissa cried out in frustration, "Does anyone have a muggle gun? And know how to use it?"
"Just transfigure it, come on!" Lily muttered a spell and walked through the door.
Through the door the others followed, Lily's cronies went in front of her with guns, the north wing long a long hall ahead before two French doors it was about 200 metres. She heard a gun shot. Then she noticed a black figure lying in the hall way Lily ran as hard as she could, black revolver in hand. The black figure got up and ran through the doors. And they were closed. Then there was another shot. A female scream was heard, and more crying. Her heart sank, she froze in her spot, "Don't stop Ana!" Tom shouted to her.
~*~*~
Remus' gun didn't work, Remus saw Atrox pull up his gun, click it and—choked…Remus watched him fall from the bullet in his chest. Remus saw the baby fall from it's captor, as he heard the babies cries he dived with his hands out and caught the bundle, Sarah rushed toward him and took the baby. Remus saw she was crying too.
But who had shot Malfoy? He whirled around to see Sirius with his new smoking gun with the look of pure horror. But Snape couldn't be seen anywhere. Remus saw a black cloak exit the wing through the back door. Sarah was hysterical and letting all her family free from their bonds.
Remus ran back into the hallway and saw Peter running towards them, he ran past Remus and saw Malfoy, "Noooo!!" He cried out.
~*~*~
-Lucius' POV-
Who the hell knocked me out? Geeze… ow! *hears gun shot* Has Atrox started already? Alright… let's see who it is… maybe I can join him kill? An evening with the losers was enough torture. Whoa… I can't believe this worked! No wait- I can… because Atrox planned it all-
Crap, there are Extreme Aurors behind me, I'll have to run in there and lock the door. I know a good dark spell to keep the doors sealed long enough.
Whoa there-Why isn't Lupin in restraints? Wait- oh my god… Atrox! , "Noooo!!"
-End-
~*~*~
He cradled his brother's head in his arms, crying.
"Peter? What the hell are you on?!'
This behaviour was strangely horrifying, Sirius caught on quickly.
He suddenly dived and shoved Peter away from the corps, "Who are you?"
Remus, Sarah saw Peter transform taller and slimmer, his face was now hidden by a black cloak, as the other gaped he said "That's right-I'm not Peter… and I'll have my moment" Then he apparated.
Sarah stopped with the bonds, "who was that?"
Sirius gave a cold shrug, "well, the Extreme Aurors are great aren't they?"
"Pad…foot-"
"James! Oh lordy-"
The door burst open, Extreme Aurors came pouring out, Lily looked around and saw the culprit lying in his own pool of crimson blood, "Tom! Over here…a Death eater, eh?"
Tom shook his head, "A Malfoy, alright, I'll get Lauren and Melissa to do their stuff, a man has been shot in the leg over there, I'm going to help him. Try to find out what happened."
Lily nodded and took the healing kit and passed it to Tom, "Alright can anyone tell me what happened?"
He was always one to take an advantage over situations.
"I can", Came a voice from behind her.
Lily didn't need to turn around for this one, "Can anyone else?"
And then Remus was in front of her he offered a small sad smile to her, "Yeah… but your best friend is crying over James and Sirius is in critical shock."
"Why is she crying- over? Oh my Godfather…-"Look, the only reason I'm asking is because I personally don't like being harassed by someone I don't know about a life I have no clue about" Lily said coldly and braver than she though she could ever be.
"Well, I don't personally enjoy to hurt you whenever I talk to you. I don't mean to be so harsh Lily- You know I don't…"
She looked him in the eye, and didn't know what to say. Remus wouldn't stop at nothing would he?
~*~*~
Aunt May, muffled cries and James felt as if the pain had just gotten worse, there was a thud on the ground and shouts, James opened his eyes. He saw Ana Giles standing over an eagle spread Malfoy; who lying on the ground in his own pool of blood. James didn't know where he was shot as Malfoy was wearing a black suit, but he sure was bleeding a lot.
"James! oh lordy!" Sarah came rushing towards him, she was holding hands with Sirius , "Thanks the gods you're okay!"
Sirius gave him a shaky hug,
Aunt May held her baby tight, a man ran over to him and another let him free from the ropes, "Ouch! I'm Greg mate, that's a nasty shot. But you'll be 'right Hang on…medi-wizards'll come pretty soon. Meanwhile I'll put a spell that'll stop the lead from spreading. You see we can't take the bullet out of you just yet, we haven't got the tools or the licence to! Ahah!"
James watched his family being taken out though a side door by ministry wizards. He found himself in a stretcher. The pain in his leg faded immensely after Greg gave him a needle.
Sirius, "Mate, you're gonna get an okay scar from that!"
James grinned, "Yeah…Sarah, please stop crying, I'm not in any pain anymore!"
"I can't help it!"
"Where's Remus?"
Sirius looked back , "I guess he's telling that Ana Giles what happened."
James nodded then his face turned grave, "So… the Peter we saw tonight?"
Sirius shook his head, "we don't know who it was, but all my bets are that he was Lucius Malfoy"
"-Well, we've actually cleared him"
James looked up and saw the young woman that was with Ana Giles before he asked her to dance, she smiled at him, "I'm Sophie, nice wound you got there Mr. Potter…"
"Why the hell would you clear the jerk's brother off the list?! He was crying over Malfoy's death! Like family!!!" Sirius shot back.
Sophie made a face, "I've spoken to many people over the past few minutes. He's been at several meetings with the governor of Durmstrung, I even spoke to Malfoy on the other line as well as the governor! And after humiliating myself, I've crossed him off my list."
James shook his head, "That's… just wrong."
"Sometimes the things that seem the most unbelievable are actual facts." She sighed, "Well, you'll be healed by next week Mr. Potter, happy healings" She walked off leaving Sirius quite annoyed.
"It had to be Malfoy." He stated.
"Sirius, you heard Sophie-" James tried.
"James… it had to be Lucius, why cry over a fellow death eater?"
"Close er…knit family?" he suggested.
Sirius snorted, "Yeah…right"
James frowned, "No sign of Pete?"
Sirius shook his head, "None…"
"Excuse me sir," a wizard in white followed by another wizard in white brushed past Sirius and picked James up in his stretcher.
"Get well buddy, you're in good hands" Sirius called out. He turned around, and then he spun in a circle, where had Sarah gone?
~*~*~
"Lily-"
"Look, sir…"
Remus was starting to get impatient, he dragged her to the nearest exit, they were out in the cold now, "How many times, how many ways, how many years will it take before you stop doing this?! I tried at the hospital, tonight- You're killing everyone here! Me, Sirius, Pete, Calista and Adele, Sarah and James… especially the last two! Do you know what Sarah has been doing these past few years Lily? Do you know how many times she has put herself through depression because of this and all the others through just for the sake of not knowing where you are?! Where you went?! Whether-"
He paused as he felt his eye tingling slightly, he quickly wiped the tears away,
"-Whether you are alive or not?! Every time I see them, see them suffer…and I fight the temptation of just shouting out, 'I know where she's been!!!!!!' To make them feel better, or maybe I should tell them you're dead to give them the closure they need. Because if I tell them what I know they'll be asking, "Why did she leave?" Why didn't she leave some kind of clue??" "Was it us?" I know if I tell them what I know they'll hurt even more than they do, for whatever reason you left, you killed us in the process, you killed our spirits! Each year we hold a candle in your memory. I don't think I'll be joining in for in the next two weeks, I've found you. While everyone will be in the dark
"Everyone including James… James! For heavens sake Lily, he loved you…he still loves you! He won't ever move on because he doesn't have closure, he doesn't have the facts to close you off. He doesn't have any facts! And I know…Lily, I know how deeply he loves you This isn't Hogwarts teasing rumour mill, this is history-facts and you could make it the future. You could make it. You know you could… Whenever I see you I don't know whether to hug you… or slap you"
It had appeared that; Lily had lost all composure, her cover had blown now, or had it blown a long time ago? She didn't know anything anymore, she collapsed into his arms in a huge embrace.
Over whelmed, Remus just hugged her back. Lily was sobbing into his shirt; And Severus was looking at them through some rose bushes. And he had to admit, the werewolf did have a way with words.
Sarah finally saw James off as he boarded the ambulance that acted as a portal to Magical Hospital outside of the city.
She walked back up the stairs but suddenly felt very drained, she needed another vial, She hands fumbled across the laces, she shot the vial, not a thought in her mind ever came across the idea that she was getting too dependent on the potion.
She ran up the stairs but stopped abruptly, who the hell was Remus hugging? While sobbing? Her eyes darted around her, she could see a black figure watching them, she got out her wand and crept up to the culprit, until her wand was at the back of his head she whispered a deadly cold voice, "Turn around slowly…"
Severus froze, "Sarah, it's me."
"Why the hell are you watching Remus and that woman? What are you up to now…"
"If I asked you the same thing you'd snap at me, if I tell you what I'm up to ,you have to tell me what you're up to…"
"I'm not up to anything-"
"Sure-"
"Shut the hell up I'm the one with my wand directed at your head!" she hissed.
"Who's there?!"
"Now you've done it." Sarah hissed.
Severus gave her a reprimanding look and pulled her closer to him. "Shut up- we don't want to get caught."
"Who's there?!" Lily demanded again while brandishing her wand, "I demand you come out this instance! On behalf of the Minister of Magic that is a command, if you don't come out now you will be prosecuted, by the law."
Sarah's eyes widened. Great…
Remus thought she had gained her composure quite quickly, he himself was still a bit flustered.
Severus stood up from the bushes, Sarah tugged his robes quickly, "I know the ministry's laws…no law allows prosecution for crouching down in hedges Miss Giles."
Sarah was tugging harder this time but she got kicked in the gut.
"Severus Snape, I should've known. You memorised the ministry laws since 5th year Hogwarts"
"And how would an Extreme Auror like you Miss Giles come across such trivia on me. We've never met…" By this comment Severus was sure he had got her cornered, without fully giving away her identity to the person at his feet.
It was dark and Lily put a cover-up charm on her face, damnnit! Severus had saw them, "One of my missions was to check out all Death Eater suspects. Your profile just happened to come along…"
Sarah was now on the ground and crawling away (something told her she had to get away), she had a pounding headache but ever so slowly pieces of something she new was big had started to come together.
Severus knew something, why was he acting so smart to the ministry's authorities. From what she got, Lily was a nurse at the hospital. After five years… she was still alive? But… not in contact with any of them. Or was she? Lily quickly looked back at Ana Giles, her face was still recognisable through the darkness. Sarah had noticed Ana looking at them a lot through the night, and dancing with James seemed like hell for her. True James was a bit of a pain in the butt but-
Sarah stopped dead in her tracks, her ears picked up footsteps, she looked around her and saw a dark cloaked figure walking swiftly toward the others.
She stopped frozen until she saw something shining in reflection of the moonlight. It was long, like a metal stick? No- "Oh hell it's a rifle!" she hissed to herself. What was with muggle fire arms tonight? She guessed Malfoy and his guest didn't come alone. She tried ever-so-hard not to make a single sound, the figures steps were so cautious and professional Sarah assumed. The figure posed, (Sarah saw the figure was aiming at one of the three who were talking) The figure aimed and-
~*~*~
"-was to check all Death Eater suspects…your profile just happened to come along…" Lily smiled. Too smart for Severus.
Severus made a tight smile back, "Just so happens you and the ministry started to check all Slytherin house members after graduation."
"It's becoming routine," Lily replied swiftly, "now- who was with you just now?"
"Excuse me?"
Lily eyebrows shot up innocently, "Oh what? So your robes just tugged themselves quickly then it's your habit to kick air? my, my Mr Snape- you are an odd kind of fellow…" every word that flew from her mouth was a release. How dare Severus spy on them?! She felt really bitchy, she was really fired up now…
He just glared back then looked at Lupin, "So… what are you up to werewolf? coddling with the authorities? My oh my…"
"Sod off loser, you know that's bull."
"Ah but who will they believe?"
"They'll believe an Extreme Auror, that's who…" Lily shot back.
"Oh yes, touching speech…I think I'll take my exit ways now, by the way Lupin… we may need each other in the future."
Remus just gave him a absolutely horrified and disgusted look.
Severus smirked again, "That's not what I meant… anyway. "
Suddenly, a huge rock flew in between them, Lily (by reflex) immediately destroyed it into powder, there was a scream, "Run! All of you!"
Instantaneously Lily knew it was Sarah's voice, she whirled around and saw her trying to wrestle a much taller dark figure, who was holding a rifle? "Get down! Get down you two!"
Lily ran for it she could see a now limp Sarah being dragged by the figure, "Stop! Stop! Expelliarmus!" Damn! She missed.
She tried to focus her mind, Vanessa! I need back up! There's a man with a rifle, he has Sarah!
Right. We're on our way
She sped up with her wand out, "Exp- Ah!"
She quickly dodged the shrunken human head that was thrown at her. "Expelliarmus!" The spell it a faraway tree.
Lily could now hear Severus and Remus shouting out behind her, no good they were really, they hadn't been trained like her and they could shoot spells while on the move by their distance, after awhile their voices drowned out and she has seemed to be in some park.
The figure finally stopped and dropped the limp body.
Lily kept on running until she caught up completely, she wand her and out and was puffing, "What have you done with her?"
The dark figure just cackled, he held up his arm and revealed his arm, it was drenched in bright blood, Lily had shivers down her spine as he licked one of his bloody fingers clean, though not revealing his face. "The others are next" and he vanished.
She rushed to the limp body and whimpered, "Oh my God" in the green grass a pool of cerise blood was spreading.
She scooped her body in her arms and flipped her body over, there were two shots in her back. Lily's body went cold and shaky, her hands fumbled over the wounds that were flowing with her blood, "Oh Please no, god no, please," her white and now crimson covered unsteady hands made their way to her wrist; there was no pulse…
Lily cried and choked out loud, No… it can't- how could I not have heard it, She tried her pulse again from the jugular vein on her neck, Oh yes! It was faint… Oh halleluiah! Lily got out her wand and muttered an incantation, the blood flow slowed immensely but that wasn't the result Lily was after, "Damn" the tears continued to flow and then Lily felt herself being pulled away, "No-no… what are you doing?"
~~~~~******
She saw a blur of her leg which was now in a cast, where was she? The hospital? Oh thank goodness, it was all over…
No it wasn't.
-FIN-
A/N- Thank the heavens! I'm finally at the later chapters that aren't as cringe-full and that don't need so much editing!!!
