Chapter 43
The next 2 weeks were a blur to Lilly, she did as she was told, she was escorted to and from Class, and she did not leave the Common room except for class and meals, unless escorted by a teacher. She did not see Andrew too much over the next two weeks, the only communication she had with him was their notebook, and she stayed curled up by the fire writing back and fourth with Andrew. She completely ignored her friends, they were worried about her. One Day Annie, Chris, Alicia and Danny stayed behind in potions to speak with Hermione.
"Professor Weasley, Can we ask you a few questions?" Annie asked.
Thinking they were talking about Potions Hermione spoke.
"Sure, ask away."
Chris spoke first, "Well, we want to know what is going to with Lilly!"
Taken a back Hermione did not know if she should answer. The Dark Lord was supposed to strike in two days, she did not know if she should tell them. They could possibly jeopardize their mission.
"I will tell you what, I do not know if I can say at this moment. Tonight, you guys will get your answers. Now until then I suggest you hurry along so you do not miss your next class. Goodness know Danny, your grades can not get any worse! Now go on!"
The four of them left in a hurry, there were already 5 minutes late to Herbology. Professor Sprout was going to be terribly angry, when they ran up to green house 2 which all first years have been using they did not believe their eyes, Professor Sprout was laying on the floor, with the greenhouse behind her looking like some had set it on fire. The Headmistress was yelling orders, when Lilly walked up to them.
"Guys, where have you been? Someone destroyed the green house, and Professor Sprout fainted!" Lilly yelled.
We um, had some questions on the potions report!" Alicia said.
"Well, I do not like the looks of that, who do you think did that?" Lilly asked.
"By the looks of the Moron Twins over there, I would say them." Chris said and pointed to the Malfoy twins.
The twins were leaned up against a tree laughing. Lilly was infuriated!
"That's it I have had enough of their attitude, I am going to straighten them out once and for all," Lilly huffed as she started walking over to the Malfoys.
"Miss Potter, what do you think you are doing?
Lilly turned around to see a very angry looking Headmistress.
"Oh, noting ma'am, I was just going for a… uh… walk," Lilly lied.
"I will hear nothing with it, Hagrid is here now, and you are to come with me, classes have been cancelled for the remainder of the day. All students are to report to their common rooms at once and await further instructions from their prefects!"
McGonagall took Lilly's hand and left the greenhouse, leaving a dazed foursome in the dust.
Back in the Potions Professors office there was a heated discussion between Hermione an Andrew.
McGonagall clearing her throat upon seeing the argument, "I hope we are not interrupting anything."
Hermione blushed, "No Minerva, we were discussing things, I explained to Andrew why he can't see Lilly right now.
"And I was telling Professor Weasley that Lilly friends deserve to know what is going on!" Andrew yelled.
"Well," the Headmistress began, "Lilly is here, now if Miss Potter and Mr. Dumbledore do not mind, I need to speak with Professor Weasley."
Lilly and Andrew went to talk in the corner, while the Headmistress and Hermione began a discussion. "Hermione something terribly happened, someone destroyed Greenhouse #1. I think it is one of the new Dark Lords followers, possibly even a student."
"But how is that possible Minerva." Hermione asked. "I thought Hogwarts was supposed to be safe."
"I am not sure, but I have cancelled classes for the rest of the day we need to have a meeting with the Prefects, I want them to deliver what ever news we feel is appropriate for the students to hear."
"I agree," Hermione said, turning to Andrew and Lilly, "You two are to stay here and not leave until The Headmistress or myself comes to get you, is that clear?"
"Yes Ma'am," Lilly said.
Lilly and Andrew watch the two leave, Andrew was in the dark about what had happened.
"Lilly, what happened?"
Lilly quickly explained what happened in Herbology today, but before Andrew had a chance to respond Lilly jumped up from her seat and threw her arms around Andrew.
"I missed you Andrew, I now it is weird considering we have only known each other for a short while, but you have become my best friend, I feel so lost with out our daily meetings."
"Me too Lilly, I have been going stir crazy, I know we talk through our notebook but it is just not the same. There is something I need to tell you, one of the things your Aunt and I were arguing about was weather or not we should tell your friends. I thought that we should tell them, you have been distancing your self from them, you will need them in the end."
"No," Lilly said firmly, this startled Andrew. "I do not need them, it is not them who have to defeat the Dark Lord, it is both of us, and they do not care about me any way."

CHAPTER 44
"No," Lilly said firmly, this startled Andrew. "I do not need them, it is not them who defeat the Dark Lord, it is both of us, and they do not care about me any way."
"Lilly, what in the world are you talking about, they are very concerned about you, they even risked being late for Herbology to ask your Aunt about you, they want to know what is going on they are concerned for you."
Lilly was taken aback she did not know what to say, her mind had been so clouded, she could not see that she want hurting her friends, she thought that now they had Alicia they did not need her. Lilly started to sob. "I have been such a fool, Andrew. How could I have been so blind?"
"Lilly, do not blame our self, you have been under such stress, so not worry about it, we will tell them, together. I will not let you do this alone, when the Headmistress gets back we will request that the four of them be brought here and told everything! The Prophecy included!"
"Thank you Andrew, you are the best," Lilly beamed. The continued to talk until the Head Mistress and Professor Weasley came back.
The Headmistress and Hermione came back into the office about 30 minutes later looking much disheveled. They had concerned looks on their faces, and they were talking in hushed tones, when Lilly spoke up.
"I want my friends to know about what's going on. They deserve to know, I have kept them in the dark for too long, and I demand they know!"
No one spoke for the longest time, all of them were stunned at the fact that Lilly was speaking up against their wishes. Sure Lilly was an assertive girl but never to this extent.
"Well Miss Potter, if you must know, Professor Weasley and myself were discussion this matter already and we decided that if you would like, you could tell your friends. Now if you do not mind to watch your tongue and never speak to any Professor in such a way again, Professor Weasley will go retrieve your friends."
Lilly felt relieved, she also felt guilty that she raised her voice to her Headmistress, she was changing and yes, she now realized it, this isn't me, I am not rude or forceful, and I sweet, what has gotten into me lately. Lilly thought to her self.
"Hello, Lilly?" a voice said
Lilly snapped out of her trance she looked up, all of her friends were standing over her. How long had I dazed out? She thought to her self.
"Oh, hi guys," Lilly said with a half smile, Maybe this isn't such a good idea.
Lilly, has something she wanted to share with you four." Andrew said.
"And who are you?" Chris asked in a jealous tone.
"Lilly will explain everything, Mr. Wheeler." Andrew said calmly
Chris, with a look of sheer confusion asked Lilly what was going on.
"Well, it is a rather long story, but I know I have been distancing my self from you guys ever since I was in St. Mungo's. Well, you know that I was knocked unconscious under the Sleeping beauty Curse, what I did not know is that there was a Prophecy made about me, before I was even born. I am destined to be with the Grandson of Hogwarts old Headmaster, and my fathers old Mentor Albus Dumbledore, his name is Andrew, we are destined to defeat the new Dark Lord together. Well, everyone thought Andrew died when he was a baby, but his father sent him to live with Muggles, He is alive and standing before you." Andrew walked up and put had on Lilly's shoulder, with many glares of hatred from Chris. Lilly continued, "You all already know Andrew, he has been taking Poly juice potion all year, he has been pretending to be a Professor, our Potions Professor to be exact. We have been meeting and getting to know each other, I have been having dreams of the new Dark Lord, The first one was that we killed him when we were older, then I believe he found out that Andrew was alive, My dreams changed, he kills Andrew in two days, I thought I could handle this, but I can't. I need you guys; you have been my support system all year. I know I have been ignoring you, and I am sorry, I am telling you this now because I am asking for you help, we are not going to let the Dark Lord kill Andrew, will you help me?"
No one spoke for the longest time, the eerie silence was starting to worry Lilly, she looked at Andrew for support, and he gave her a hug. Finally a very red faced Chris spoke up.
