Chapter 11
Lily was released from the hospital wing that afternoon. She immediately headed for the common room. All of her friends were there, waiting for her.
"We were going to study for exams, but without you, we were sunk." Janet said. Lily smiled. She still had a bandage around her head that would be taken off tomorrow.
"I'm sorry." Lily said. "But you should have started a long time ago."
"What!" exclaimed James. " It's ages away!"
"It's only three weeks away." Lily reminded him.
"That's still ages away!" Janet said, snickering.
"Well then, let's get started!" Lily exclaimed. The next day, Lily was eating breakfast at the Gryffendor table when her father came up to her.
"Could we talk somewhere private?" Harry asked. "I don't want to embarrass you in front of all these people." Lily nodded, confused at what her dad wanted to tell her. Was she in trouble? They walked over to a corner.
Harry sighed. "Your mother and I have been talking for a while and we think it's alright if you and Ian are together. Your mother finally persuaded me that what happened on Christmas was a pure accident." Lily smiled. "But don't do that again."
"Ok, dad, I won't. I promise." Lily said and she gave him a hug. "Thanks." She walked back to table, happy. That afternoon in Potions class, Lily told Ian about what had happened.
"My dad's cool with you again." Lily replied, adding a few drops of dragon blood to their indiscernible emulsion. Ian gave her a smile.
"Good. I was starting to think that your dad might fail me in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"He would never do that. He's had that done to him before, you know." Lily said.
That evening when Lily and her friends were studying for the exams, Lily noticed that Elizabeth was exceedingly restless. She kept staring off into space and every time that someone asked her an exam question, they had to call her name at least three more times before she answered.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?" Lily finally asked her.
"Nothing." she muttered back. Then she headed up to her room.
Two weeks went by and Elizabeth was acting the same, even worse. The exams were a week away and everyone was freaking out. On Monday, Lily was in her room, when she randomly looked out of her window. Outside she noticed a figure running across the grounds. Lily was astonished when she looked closer and realized that it was Elizabeth. She grabbed her Invisibility Cloak and sneaked out of the common room quietly. Then minutes later, Lily met the door. It creaked slightly as she opened it but when five minutes went past without anyone coming to check, Lily stole past the door. She walked past the abandoned hut and went toward the Whooping Willow where she saw Elizabeth. But someone else was with her and it looked like they were arguing. Lily was just about to come out of her hiding spot when someone grabbed her shoulder. She jumped and turned around. A boy with brown hair stood before her.
"James!" Lily whispered fiercely, "What are you doing out here?" He snorted.
"I could ask you the same." he murmured back. Lily still gave him a vicious look.
"What are you doing following me!" she said as loud as she could without being heard.
"I was asleep in the common room, but you were very loud going through that portrait." James replied casually.
"So you decided to follow me and get me in trouble." Lily said, knowing his answer.
"Actually, no. I just wanted to know what you were doing in the middle of the night, sneaking out of the school."
"Ok, I saw Elizabeth going across the grounds and I wanted to know what she was doing, so I followed her." Lily replied.
"Looks like a night to follow someone." James said, with a grin. Lily punched him in the arm. He had to stifle the yell.
"Listen, she's arguing with someone." Lily whispered. They listen quietly for a moment.
"I told you to stay away from here. People could see you and find me out!" came the voice of Elizabeth. Then came a male voice.
"You thought that your stupid mother could protect you from me and my father forever? Ha, what a joke! You always had dad's personality!"
"Shush! Someone might hear you! They would throw me out for sure!"
"Let's skip the chit-chat, I want what I came for. Give me that globe!"
"You think I'm stupid? At least I'm not dense like my muggle mother!" Next came a 'slap' and a muffled cry.
"Don't you dare insult my mother again! Maybe we should talk about yours, the traitorous little filth."
"At least she was brave enough to stand up to our dad!"
"Now you're stalling, give me the prophecy!" Lily then decided she would face this stupid git. But she was in for a surprise. It was Ryan. She gasped. Ryan spotted her.
"Oh, look, we have company, Elizabeth." he said.
"What are you doing here?" Lily spat at him. He smiled wickedly.
"I've come to take what's mine." he replied, turning back to Elizabeth. "I told you to come alone."
"I did. She came on her own." Elizabeth said, some anger in her voice. "Go back to the castle, Lily, this doesn't pertain to you."
"Actually, it does." Ryan cut in. Elizabeth tried to cut her off, but failed. Ryan continued. "You see, this globe contains information about two certain people. It talks about the two descendants of Voldemort, one light, one dark. The two of them are totally different, in personality, looks, and in wills. The light one will have light hair, eyes, and will want to do go and all of that crap. The other one will have dark hair, eyes and will follow the Dark Lord. The it talks about another descendant of a powerful wizard, a raven with emerald eyes. Now you can only guess who is the dark descendant."
"You, of course." Lily replied. "But I don't understand how this pertains to me or Elizabeth."
"For years, my father tried to find out who the other people were. Then one day, the prophecy disappeared."
"My mother and I had it." Elizabeth cut in.
"Why did you have it?" James asked. Lily had forgotten that he was there.
"She was in the prophecy, of course. She's the light descendant of Voldemort." Ryan said, with a wicked smile on his face.
"You!" Lily said in disbelief. All these months, she had assumed it was some Slytherin, but it one of her friends all of this time. "You're the descendant of Voldemort. But, you're in Gryffenfor!"
"I told you my mother was in my house, but she became a Death Eater. Well, right after she left, she found out she was pregnant with me." Elizabeth said. "The Dark Lord is my father, Lily"
"But you said you're didn't know your dad." Lily said, disbelieving everything. "And your record didn't know either."
"I lied to you. I had to. And I erased his name from the record so no one would find out."
"So where do I come into all of this?" Lily asked.
"You're the raven, the descendant of the power wizard." Ryan answered.
"Raven?" Lily asked.
"Your dark hair, of course." Ryan said, giving Lily a "duh!" look. "Anyways, the light descendant and the raven would pair up and defeat the other descendant. But I couldn't let that happen. I searched for years for that stupid globe."
"We had it, trying to decipher it. That's why I didn't come in my first year. We were trying to find out the prophecy, and the girl. I was much easier to have you here where I was going. Before last year, there was no record on you anywhere, so we had no idea who it was until last year when you arrived at Hogwarts. It was like you didn't exist." Elizabeth said.
"Yes, and now you've had it too long. Now, for the last time, give me the prophecy!" Ryan said, whipping out his wand. As one, Elizabeth, Lily, and James brandished their wands as well. Ryan sent a spell at Elizabeth, and for a moment, Lily thought the spell would hit her, but Elizabeth put some kind of shield spell. The spell hit off harmlessly.
"You don't have to do this, dear sister." Ryan said, barely showing shock at her skills.
"Surprised, huh? Didn't know I could do that. Studying the globe wasn't the only thing my mum and I did." Elizabeth said, dropping her shield. Ryan threw a curse at Elizabeth, and this time, she wasn't expecting this. Lily leapt in front of Elizabeth and put up another shield, not a good as Elizabeth's, but still strong enough to block the curse.
"James! Run for some help!" Elizabeth shouted to James.
"And what, leave you two to fend for yourselves?" he yelled back, throwing a stunning spell at Ryan, which was quickly blocked.
"James!" both girls shouted.
"Ok, ok, I'll go!" James said, giving Ryan another stunning spell to distract Ryan as he ran off for the castle. Now it was just her and Elizabeth. Lily was concerned. She and Elizabeth might be the best in their year, but they were no match against a full grown wizard, who knew almost all of the dark spells. She grabbed Elizabeth and dragged her behind a nearby tree.
"So, what your battle plan?" she asked, not seriously. Elizabeth looked at her like she was crazy.
"He may be my brother, but he will still kill me in no time without any guilt afterwards."
"Ok, sorry, but what are we going to do until an adult arrives?" Lily asked.
"Just fight with all we can." Lily snorted.
"Yea right. We're not that good." she said.
"Well, at least to hold him off. On three. One, two, three!" The two jumped out from behind the tree and threw an disarming spell at Ryan. He easily blocked it and threw another hex at them. Lily dived behind a stone just in time. The rock shattered into a million tiny pieces, leaving Lily exposed. Ryan cast another hex at Lily and, trying to dodge it, fell on her wrist. She heard a slight 'crack' as she fell. It had broken totally through. Lily grimaced at the pain that shot through her arm. At least it wasn't her wand arm. She got up just in time to see Elizabeth being thrown in the air by Ryan. Lily sent a reductor curse at Ryan, but he summoned a mirror and reflected it right back at Lily. The next thing she knew, she was being flipped through the air. She fell uncomfortably on her left leg as she drifted into darkness. Lily dreamed as she lay in darkness, for how long, she wasn't sure. She saw haunting pictures. Elizabeth, lying in the grass, blood all over her robes, with Ryan standing over her with his wand out, pointed at her. He was laughing. Lily only hoped that he hadn't gotten the globe. She heard voices around her, but they were only garbles that she couldn't understand. She let her mind slip into unconscious again.
