CHAPTER 10
Over the next hour or so Lilly and her Aunt Hermione had a good talk. She was finally able to tell some one everything. She breathed a sigh of relief. Hermione walked Lilly to the great hall when she went and set between Annie and Alicia. Lilly suddenly felt sick to her stomach, she rushed out of the Great Hall and into the nearest girls lavatory. What little lunch she did have came up for a visit. She heard the door open and heard a man cough. Oh no Chris followed me, Lilly pretended to still be sick and grabbed her wand out of her robes and ran out of the stall with her wand at the ready.
"Chris, you will leave me the FUCK alone!" Lilly screamed, as she ran out of the cubical.
"Woah! Lilly it is Andrew please put your wand down." Andrew said looking a bit startled.
"Andrew, oh my I am sorry, I thought you were Chris," Lilly said as she started to cry.
"Lilly, what happened? Did Chris hurt you?" Andrew asked
Lilly ran into Andrew arms and started crying, "This morning at breakfast Chris mouth to me we can finish what we started tonight. Then today in potions, he put his hands on me. He started to whisper in my ear, when my Aunt Hermione figured out what happened and threatened him removal of his Head Boy privileges." Lilly shuttered.
"That is it Lilly I am going to Kill that bastard!" Andrew said as he turned to leave the restroom.
"NO, Andrew please, I am ok, My Aunt Hermione figured out that Chris was the one who... well you know what, please. I know this sounds strange but I think Chris might be under some spell of some kind." Lilly begged.
"Fine, for you my love, but this is the last time. If he does anything again. I will make him pay."
"Agreed," Lilly said.
"Why did you run in here sweetie, I was worried about you."
"Oh, I think I ate something that did not agree with me, but I feel better now, we better get back." Lilly said.
Andrew agreed. They walked back to the Great Hall. Lilly walked back to her seat avoiding Chris stare, she attempted to eat another bite of her sandwich but started feeling queasy again. She put it down, and had a chat with Alicia about her and Danny.
Lilly really enjoyed her time with Alicia; it made her miss Danny even more. She realized that she had not talked to him much this year. She made a mental note to send him a letter tonight once she got back to Andrews place.
Once the Great Hall started emptying, Lilly got up to go wait for Dobby. Before she even got to the door Dobby appeared and said, "Right this way Miss Lilly, Dobby here to be your escort!"
Lilly giggled, "Why thank you kind sir!" Lilly said as she bent down and kissed the tiny elf on the top of his head.
Dobby blushed redder then her Uncle Ron. He simply bowed and said, "Miss Lilly is too good to Dobby!"
They walked in silence the rest of the way to class. Lilly got a few stares from people, but she did not mind, at least Chris would not try and harm her.
Once they reached the door, Dobby spoke, Miss Lilly, I will not be picking you up from this class and escorting you to dinner, Mr. Dumbledore will be doing that."
"Thank you Dobby," Lilly said as she remembered something in her bag. It was a pair of Easter socks that had chicks on them. "For you Dobby!" Lilly said.
Dobby nearly cried, "Miss Lilly, thank you so much, I will treasure these gifts for ever!" Dobby said as he ran off. Lilly stifled a giggle and walked into Double Defense Against The Dark Arts.
Lilly took her seat, she was feeling better by the minute. She looked up and saw her Aunt Hermione talking with Professor Lovegood. She motioned over too Lilly and Lovegood shook her head.
Chris walked into the class and made a bee line for Lilly. She held her breath. Professor Lovegood turned to Chris and said, "No Mr. Wheeler, Professor Weasley has just informed me that you feel your self above the rules in her class, I will not stand for that in my class, so today you are going to be my helper," She conjured up a desk and place it next to hers. "Since you are the Head Boy, I am sure you could help me sufficiently. Now got sit at the front of the class and wait for my instructions." Professor Lovegood said with a smirk.
Lilly looks at her Aunt Hermione and mouthed THANK YOU.
Chris did not dare look at Lilly for the entire class, he left after the first session. Lilly felt relief when he left. She spaced out during the entire remainder of the class, when it was time to leave she looked up and saw Andrew waiting out side the door. He heart did a flip. She felt safe just looking at him.
"Mr. Dumbledore, here to escort me to dinner?" Lilly asked politely.
"Why yes Lady Potter," Andrew said.
"Well let's head to the Great Hall," Lilly said.
"No, not to the Great Hall, I have made reservations for us," Andrew said shyly
"Oh, well let's go then," Lilly said in an excited tone.
Andrew and Lilly walked just out side of the gates and he grabbed onto Lilly and apparated to a quite street. There was nothing impressive about the area, but when Lilly and Andrew walked in to the restaurant it was the most beautiful place she had ever been to.
"Ah, Mister Dumbledore welcome back this must be the lovely lady you speak so highly of." The man asked.
"Yes Vincent, this is my Lilly. Did you get the items I asked for?" Andrew asked.
"Yes sir," he handed Andrew a bag, "Mr. Dumbledore, Miss Lilly, this way so you can change into you appropriate attire." Vincent led them to a changing room.
"Andrew, this place is so nice. Are you sure it is not to expensive?" Lilly asked over the partition while change into the most elegant evening gown she had ever seen.
"Lilly, I told you before, My Grandfather left me everything, and when I came of age I inherited it all. We never have to worry about money my love." Andrew said.
Lilly and Andrew finished dressing and was escorted to their table by the man that Andrew called Vincent. Andrew took out a substantial amount of money and handed it to Vincent and whispered something into his ear.
Lilly could not help but be amazed. She had never been in such a nice place, and her father was Harry Potter!
Andrew and Lilly had a wonderful dinner, when the waiter came to see if they would like desert, Andrew spoke up and ordered a chocolate dish for them. They were talking and holding hands when suddenly Andrew grabbed Lilly's hand and led her to the empty stage. He sat her down on the only chair in front of the stage and a band suddenly appeared behind him and music started to play and Andrew started speaking.
"Lilly, you are my everything, I want you to know that I love you and I want nothing more then to spend the rest of my life with you."
Andrew started singing.
I swear by the moon
and the stars in the skies
and I swear
like the shadow that's by your side
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
you can be sure I know my part
'cause I stand beside you through the years
you'll only cry those happy tears
and though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
and I swear by the moon
and the stars in the skies I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there for better or worse
'till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
and I swear
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
we'll hang some memories on the wall
and when (and when) just the two of us are there
you won't have to ask if I still care
'cause as the time turns the page
my love won't age at all
and I swear (I swear)
by the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear (and I swear)
like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
for better or worse
till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
and I swear
I swear (I swear)
by the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear
like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
for better or worse (better or worse)
till death do us part I'll love you
with every single beat of my heart
I swear I swear I swear
Lilly was in tears by the time Andrew finished the song, she knew now how much Andrew did care for her.
Jumping off the strange the band disappeared and her walked up and bent in front of Lilly. "Lilly I know we have been together for a short time, but I have loved you my whole life. I know it is too soon to get engaged, but that song explained my feelings for you. I love you more then anything, I will give you everything you ever want or need. I bought you something," Andrew said as he pulled out a box.
"Lilly this is my promise to you, I promise that in a few years from now, if you will still have me I would like to become engaged and marry you. I promise to love you with all my heart and soul, we have been destined to be together, before we had even known the other existed. Please accept this promise ring as a symbol of my love."
Lilly was sobbing now; she could not think straight, he looked up into Andrews eyes, all her inhibitions, her fears and worries meted away.
"Yes, Andrew I love you and I will accept this right," Lilly said between sobs.
The entire restaurant busted into applause as Andrew slipped the ring on Lilly's right ring finger. Lilly smiled, but that smiled soon faded when she clutched her hand over her mouth and headed to the nearest bathroom. She luckily made it to the bath room in time. What is wrong with me! Lilly thought as she washed up. Suddenly it hit her lick a ton of bricks. She was a week late, there is no way, I can't be…
