Lily's POV
I sighed as I looked around. I was in charge of training the children of the Death Eaters. Today I was with the really little ones teaching them Latin and teaching them simple spells that they could use in case of emergencies.
"Alright guys today we are going to learn the levitating spell. Wingardum Leviosa," I said showing them how it was done on a chair in the corner of the room, "I'm going to have you practice on feathers for the entire week until we meet again. That'll be all for today." I smiled as each of the children walked out of the room into their parents' arms.
I wanted to have a family one day. I could just picture it now: me holding a little boy with black hair and emerald green eyes, just like Harry's. I haven't heard from said man in about a week. I was thinking he was getting tired of me or something.
I sighed deeply at the thought of the man. I missed him terribly and now I couldn't even keep a real smile around my family. Suddenly as I started thinking about Harry, a snowy white owl came swooping into my "classroom."
"Oh," I said looking at the beautiful bird of prey, "how can I help you?"
She dropped a letter on the desk in front of me. It had my name written on the front of it with a bright red wax seal on the back. Just as I was about to open it though, another owl swooped in with a letter with the Hogwarts' crest on the back. I dropped the first letter and ran to my father. He had to see this now.
"If a bloody owl can find her, so can Dumbledore can too!" Draco yelled.
"Calm yourself Draco," Tom said, "Even if he did find us, he'd have to have a Cursebreaker with him to break the seals around us."
"But he does Marvolo!" Father yelled, "He's got William Weasley with him. The man is a Gringotts level Curesbreaker!"
Uncle Tom was quiet for a moment, "I believe it's time we change bases. Pack everything you can Lily, for tomorrow, we shall make way for Slytherin Castle.
"But what about Harrison?" I asked. I didn't want to leave him. Not now!
"She has a point Marvolo," Uncle Lucius said, "Maybe her and Severus can move into Potter Manor. It would be less conspicuous, and the Manor is protected by ancient magic."
"I shall write the boy at once," Father said, "No one do anything until I get a response from him." I nodded my head and made my way back to the classroom.
I was going to clean up the mess the children have made during the day when I saw the snowy owl still on the desk. I guessed it was waiting on me to open the letter that was still on the floor.
I pulled back the seal on the letter and gasped as I looked at the signer.
Lily,
I'm sorry, but I don't think I can handle the fact that your family are either Death Eaters or the Dark Lord himself.
I'm not just doing this for me. I'm doing this for you too. I know I'm no good. I've been through too much. I'm better off alone than dragging you down with me.
You are one of the smartest, prettiest, and awesome people I've ever met, and I don't want to ruin that part of you.
I can tell that you are destined for greater and better things than me.
I found out recently that I have very deep feelings for you, but you deserve much better.
When we see each other at Hogwarts, it would be best if you never talked to me. It would be the best for you. I'm sure of it.
-Harrison Evans
I had tears running down my face as I dropped the letter onto the floor. I walked slowly, almost in a trance towards my father's rooms.
I knocked on the door and opened it when I heard the response. "Don't bother writing that letter to Evans," I said in a monotone voice, "He wants nothing to do with me anymore."
"Lily," Father asked, "What are you talking about?"
"He thinks it would be better if we pretended that the last month never happened. He has 'feelings' for me," I said with air quotes around the word "feelings, "but he doesn't think he's man enough to be with me."
"Lily…" Father said trying to step forward to me.
I didn't want his pity or sympathy so I backed away, putting a scowl on my face. One so similar to my father's that it seemed to scare him, "Leave me be Father. We make ride for Slytherin Castle tomorrow."
