CHAPTER
Love and War Chapter 19
At the reception, a red- haired woman a red- haired man, and five red- headed children walked up to Lily and James.
"Hello, I'm Molly Weasley," said the woman, "And this is my husband, Arthur."
Lily smiled.
"Hello, I'm Lily. Bill's told me so much about you. I'm so glad you could make it."
Bill blushed, as his two younger brothers, a three and a nine year old, fought. The twins grinned as though they had done something wrong.
"Lily, these are my brothers, Charlie," the nine year old waved, and the three year old pouted. "Percy." the three year old turned and smiled. "And those are the twins, Fred and George."
Lily smiled.
"Nice to meet you all."
"Congratulations. And thank you, for saving Bill, he has a problem with rocking back and forth, especially on ledges," said Mrs. Weasley, looking down at her oldest son.
"Well, it was the least we could do," said James, winking at Bill.
"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Weasley.
"Didn't Bill tell you? If it weren't for Bill, we would still be pretending to hate each other, and not be here. He set it up."
Lily nodded.
"Well, thank you again."
The next day, Cat left. Two years later, just before Lily's twentieth birthday, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, Harry and Rose and around the same time, Alice gave birth to a boy, Neville. That March, before the birth of her twins, Lily received a letter from the Weasleys, they had become great friends, and as soon as Mrs. Weasley had her sixth child, she wrote to Lily and James asking them to be his Godparents, they, of course, accepted. That October twenty second, at one thirty, Lily walked into the twins' room, to get Harry, who was crying, only to see her daughter gone.
"JAMES!" she screamed, staring at where her daughter should have been, then taking her son, praying nothing happened to him, too.
James ran up the stairs and into the room as Lily tried to explain what had happened. They immediately went to Dumbledore.
"You must both stay strong. But now is not the time to look for Rose. You must go into hiding, using the Fidelius Charm. I will be your Secret- Keeper, if you wish," said Dumbledore.
"No, we HAVE to find her," said James, angrily.
"James, and if you do, then something happens to your family because you didn't go into hiding. I shall search for her. I will recruit a few people to work on that while everyone else searches for Voldemort."
Lily held Harry close to her, as she gently rocked back and forth.
"I will not go into hiding and leave her in the cold. She HAS to be with us," said Lily.
Dumbledore sighed.
"I will find her, I swear it. When I do, she will be delivered to you."
"Fine," said James. "We'll go into hiding."
James stood, arm on the mantle, staring into the fire. Lily noted the defeated and helpless tone in his voice.
"And who shall be your Secret Keeper? My offer stands."
"Thank you, but you have enough to worry about. Sirius'll be our Secret Keeper."
Lily and James went into hiding, Peter as their Secret Keeper. One year later, on Halloween, Lily fell asleep, one year old Harry in her lap.
"Mortailus Makus is the way... kill him... Voldemort..."
James looked at her as she woke up.
"What did you say?" asked James.
"What?"
"Never mind."
Voldemort burst into the house.
"Potter," he hissed.
"Take Harry! Go!" shouted James.
Lily paused, not wanting to leave her husband. By the end, they were both dead and Harry sat there, crying.
