Chapter 9: Awakening And Going Home

"Lily! Lily, wake up!! Professor, are you sure she's okay?"

"I am quite sure, Mr Zabini. Now, both you and Mr Malfoy must return to class and stop fretting over Miss Black. She'll waken soon enough."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Mr Malfoy. Your father's coming to see if there is anything else that can be done to help her."

Lily opened her eyes and then closed them immediately. It was far too bright. She groaned, pulling the sheets over her head. She heard footsteps pound to her bedside.

"Lily, you're awake!"

"I noticed..."

"Why are you hiding under the sheets?"

"Too bright."

"Lily, come out. Shadow, Draco and me, we've been waiting for you to wake up. Shadow's here."

::My lady, will you not come out?::

Lily sighed, peeking out, over the covers. "Alright... What happened while I was here?"

"Well, Ginny's not being blamed for the attacks, you've been here, unconscious for 4 days now—"

"What?! FOUR DAYS!!!"

"Yes. Father's coming to see if anything can... well, could have been done to help you."

"Yeah, a little too late for that."

"...Lockhart's memory got obiviated."

"Really...?"

"Blaise did it. And you're in the Daily Prophet again."

"WHAT?!"

Blaise, Draco and Lily sat in their compartment on the train. Shadow slept in Lily's lap and she sighed, staring out the window.

"Lily, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. It's just that... Nothing."

"Are you sure? You still haven't told us what happened in the Chamber."

"What happened? I had to face a Basilisk! Fawkes pierced the eyes so it couldn't kill me with them and I had to use a sword. I don't know how to use a sword!"

Blaise swallowed his chocolate frog. "Pointy end goes into the other man."

"That doesn't really work when you're facing down a Basilisk."

Blaise shrugged and bit into another frog. Draco leaned forward. "But who was behind the attacks?"

"I already—"

"Yeah, a memory from 50 years ago, but whose memory Lily? Dad knows, I'm sure. Who was it??"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Lily..."

"Draco, another word and I'll tell your father who it was tha—"

"Okay, fine..."

Lily sighed as she walked into her room. Her mother, Petunia, had ranted about appearing in the Prophet again before sending her here. She glanced at the fireplace in the corner of her room, and the pot of Floo powder beside before shaking her head. She sat on the bed and pulled three things out of her bag. One was Shadow, who slithered onto the bed.

::Don't let anyone discover you, okay?::

::Yes, my lady.::

The second was the Basilisk fang, which she slipped into a drawer. The last was a journal, covered in ink and a hole in the centre. It joined the Basilisk fang and shut it. "Rest in peace Tom."

Draco-

Mum's not being so hard this year, about my appearance in the Prophet. Unfortunately, I've been grounded indefinitely again. The twins said that the charm we cast on Ron wore off. Too bad, the hot pink made him more noticeable, isn't that what he wanted?

I wonder who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be. Blaise thinks that Uncle Severus is finally going to get the job, but Uncle Severus say that he wasn't going to apply this year? More things to think about.

-Lily

Lily-

It's too bad about Ron. Father's been acting very odd these past few days. I'm not to invite either you or Blaise over this summer. Some of father's friends have been frequenting the Manor, including Blaise's parents, Uncle Severus and your Uncle Sirius. They spend so much time in father's study. Something big has got to be going on.

As for our seeing each other over the summer, how about before school starts? Staying at the Leaky Cauldron during August.

-Draco

Lily-

I already sent something to Draco already. Thanks for the brownies by the way; mom's not letting any of the kitchen house elves sneak me any extra food.

I've been hearing whispers about You-Know-Who. You don't think that he's gaining power again? What'll he do to us? We've opposed him the first two times he's tried to rise. Well... it was more you opposing him, but we're your last line of defense as it were.

-Blaise

Blaise-

I have no idea. He'll probably come after us and use us as hostages before killing us.

-Lily

Lily-

You're so comforting. I want to know what we're going to do about this.

-Blaise

Blaise-

You need to calm down. Lily doesn't seem worried, so you shouldn't either. Just make sure that you come to the Leaky Cauldron.

-Draco
