Chapter 9

They next morning Andrew and Lilly made there way to the Castle. The reach the stairs to the Headmistress' office where her parents were waiting for them

"Morning," everyone said to each other, the stairs began to move and Lilly, Andrew, Harry and Ginny walked up the stairs.

The entered the Headmistress' office and took a seat. The Headmistress' gaze swept over each person in her office before she spoke.

"I received your Letter yesterday Harry, I have to say I was slightly concerned. Could some one please explain to me what has happened." The Headmistress asked.

"Well Minerva, I was concerned for Lilly's safety. 2 Sundays ago Lilly was attacked on Hogwarts grounds by another student and she was nearly rapped. She is severely traumatized. Both Ginny and my self believe that she is no longer safe here at Hogwarts, you know the threat that is coming back this year. We both agree that Lilly should continue her schooling here, but we feel that she should go and stay in Hogsmeade with Andrew; we wished that you would allow this to happen. We never wanted to intrude on your ruling over this school but we are just trying to keep in mind what is best for our daughter." Harry said

"Well Harry, I can say that I firmly believe that Hogwarts is one of the safest places that any person could be, but I am inclined to agree with you. Madam Pomfrey informed me of Lilly's accident, though Poppy did not know exactly what happened to her, I was waiting for Lilly to come to me, I am glad that she told you two, I can say I know Lilly is a special girl, she deserves special treatment. I will allow Lilly to stay with Andrew for the remainder of the year, one more I will make sure some one escorts Lilly to her classes, incase this fiend attempts to strike again." McGonagall said.

"So you are ok with this Minerva?" Ginny asked in complete shock.

"Of course I am Mrs. Ginny, now if you do not mind it is time for breakfast, would you care to join us?" Minerva

Harry looked to his wife, "Why not, we would love to!" Harry said.

The five of them headed down to breakfast. Harry and took at seat at the platform with Minerva and Andrew. Lilly found her way to the Gryffindor table, and sat between and Alicia and Annie. She looked over at Chris, who smirked at her and licks his lips, me mouthed, "We can finish what we started tonight." Lilly shuttered, she felt sick. She concentrated on her breakfast.

She looked at the platform and put on a big fake smile for her parents. She finished her breakfast quickly, she walked out of the great hall and she felt an hand on her arm, she resisted the urge to scream. It was Andrew, with her parents.

"Lilly, I would like you to meet your escort between classes, a very good friend of mine Dobby," Harry said.

"Dobby is please to help out Little Miss Harry Potter," The small elf said.

"Thank you Dobby, please call me Lilly," Lilly said with a smile.

"Oh thank you Miss. Lilly, Dobby will hold your books for you!" Dobby said as he tried to grab Lilly's bag.

"Thank you Dobby, but I can carry my own bags." Lilly said as she bent down and kissed the house elf on the top of his head.

"Miss Lilly is too good to Dobby!" Dobby said as he blushed.

"Now Dobby, I expect you be waiting for Lilly after every class and walk her to every meal. She is the most precious thing to me and I expect you to take care of her, if you do your job right. I will give you 20 new socks!" Harry said with a smile.

"Dobby will not let anything happy to her Harry Potter, you have my word!" Dobby said as he grabbed Lilly hand and led her to potions

Lilly turned to her parents and Andrew and waved. Dobby escorted Lilly into potions, he checked to make sure Professor Weasley was in the class, "Miss Lilly I will be here after the class is over to pick you up." Dobby said.

"Thank you Dobby," Lilly said she she took a seat.

"Lilly!" Hermione said.

"Hello Aunt, how have you been?" Lilly asked.

"You father owled me last night. I thought you were not going to tell him" Hermione said.

"I didn't, but I knew I could not be alone any more, I am so scared Aunt Hermione. I feel like it could happen again at any moment. I feel like I could be attacked again." Lilly started crying, Hermione pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Lilly it is ok, if you are scared to be alone, what are you going to do?" Hermione asked.

"Well, father asked the Headmistress if I could stay with Andrew. You know Andrew would protect me with his life." Lilly answered.

"I know sweetie, but you father does not mind that you are together with him?" Hermione asked.

"Well, he does not know, yet. Mum does though." Lilly answered honestly.

"Oh, I see, are you ever going to tell your father?"

Yes, we are planning to tell everyone, the entire family on Christmas. I do not want to hide it any longer, we love each other. Besides I am of age now."

"Well I respect your decision what ever it may be. I will always be there to back you up, no matter what. Oh, do you wish to sit by Chris now, since he stopping being such a prat?" Hermione asked.

At the sound of Chris name, Lilly got very tense and got tears in her eyes, At first Hermione wrote it off as being torn up from the break up, but when Chris walked into class a few minutes later and attempted to sit next to Lilly, Hermione got her answer. Hermione watch as Chris came up behind Lilly and put an arm on her shoulder, Lilly started shaking uncontrollably and looked like she was on the verge of crying.

"Mr. Wheeler, I thought I told you where to sit, now if you do not take your seat I will see to it that your house loose points, you get detention and that Head Boy position of your come under review by the Headmistress!" Hermione said, she knew what happened, Chris had attacked Lilly, she saw it in her yes, when Lilly mouthed thank you.

Chris did not look at Lilly for the remainder of the class, he left after the first class, since Lilly had double potions she stayed seated with Angie Gomez and tried to keep her eyes from tearing. Once Double potions was over Hermione dismissed the class.

"Miss Potter, would you mind staying after and helping me with something." Hermione asked.

"No problem Professor Weasley." Lilly said. Lilly wait for the class to empty. She walked up to her Aunt. "What do you need help with Aunt Hermione?"

"Lilly please take a seat." Hermione said. "Lilly, I know."

"You know what?" Lilly asked seriously

"I know that Chris was the one who attacked you?" Hermione said.

"What, wait how did you find out?" Lilly asked as she started to cry.

"I saw your reaction when Chris touched you, I put 2 and 2 together." Hermione said.

"Oh Aunt Hermione, you can't tell anyone, only you and Andrew know the truth, Chris has been him self, please do not tell any one!"

"If that is what you really want Lilly, then your secret is safe with me. Dobby would you please come in here?" Hermione yelled. Not more then two seconds later Dobby appeared before Hermione and Lilly.

"What can Dobby do for Mrs. Weasley and Miss Lilly" Dobby said with sheer delight.

"You will not need to escort Lilly to her next class, she will be with me, I will make sure she gets to lunch safely, you need to meet her after lunch." Hermione said.

Dobby looked a little sad but said nothing, "But Dobby that is not all I have another task for you." His face lit up.

"I need you to take this note to Professor Thomas and tell him Lilly will be missing Muggle studies today." Hermione said with a nod as she scribbled a note and handed it to Dobby.

"Dobby would be honored" The elf said as he bowed and disappeared.

"Lilly, we are going to my office to chat; I want to know what happened. I may not tell any one about Chris, but you are still my niece, and I love you."
