AN. Wow it's been an age since I started this fanfic. Sorry about that guys. There is a very good explanation for that and although this might seem lame but it is very true... and that is that I have been very busy. Well anyways here is chapter two and I am planning on doing chapter 3 very soon. Ok well anyway... Enjoy!
Ginny froze. What was she meant to do? She knew it was going to be difficult but she never thought it would turn out like this.
Lily didn't even move. She just stood there. She had no expression painted on her face. There was just emptiness. She then did a thing her mother never thought she would react to in a situation like this. Lily started to laugh. Ginny looked on at her daughter astonished. "Ha-ha... THAT is so funny! Good one mum! Me a witch? Where did you get that joke from? Must've got it off Uncle Fred and George! They are the only guys to come up with a thing like that!"
Ginny just stared no hint of a joke playing across her face. She then agonisingly looked towards her brother and Hermione. Ron didn't even dare look at her, while Hermione just looked directly into her eyes, showing no inclination of helping.
Ginny then took a deep breath and then said in a tone she hoped was even "No Lily, this is no joke. I am serious."
Lily looked at her mother, her laughter failing to keep up with her as her mother continued on looking at her gravely. "Mum come on! You can't be serious! You just can't be!" Ginny continued on looking at Lily in the same way. Lily then looked at Hermione, Ron and Mr and Mrs Weasley. "Come on tell me that she is joking!" None complied. Lily gaped, her mouth wide as if she was attempting to catch flies. "You guys can't be serious!" Her good humour now gone as she looked at everyone in turn. Her uncertainty then became anger "No, no, no! You're all just trying to pull my leg! Please tell me I'm right! Please! DON'T JUST STAND THERE, SPEAK TO ME!"
Everyone stood still as they watched Lily through a vase that was on a nearby table which then crashed leaving only shards of the once beautiful vase. However when Lily went to throw a gold plated candlestick Hermione finally moved and said "That's enough." She only said it in a whisper but that whisper was as strong as a violent yell. Lily froze in mid swing.
Hermione spoke once again this time more loudly "Now we know you are angry at your mother but in fact you shouldn't be angry with just her. It is all our faults for not telling you at the right time, we should have been frank with you at the very beginning."
Lily put down the candlestick and sat her self back down "So-so-so it is true..." Lily knew her aunty Hermione, and she knew that Hermione never joked, well not intentionally anyway.
Ron then stood up from his seat knowing that Ginny was too stunned to do anything, let alone say anything "Yes Lily it is true. It has been true ever since you were born. You see, the thing is our family, you, me, aunty Hermione, your mum, your grandparents, all of us, we are... we are... we are all witches and wizards."
Lily sat her heart thumping, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ginny smiled weakly "Well as I said before, we were scared, we were afraid for your safety."
"And why should you be?!" Lily said her words bursting out like venom now. Arthur then looked Lily straight in the eye, "Well because we unlike you Lily, we know that if the supreme lord ever found out about you and us. We would all be in great danger. There aren't many more of our kind out there still. Those that there are work for him. And if he ever found out our whereabouts or if we were still alive, he would hunt us down and kill us without a second thought. Oh yes," He said seeing Lily's incredulous face "He would kill the smallest of the smallest of babies if he knew they were a witch or wizard that wouldn't go on his side. He cares nothing for innocence. He knows no mercy, he cares nothing for it. Anything that is living or breathing is seen as a threat to him."
Lily looked at her grandfather in a new light "No. Why? What could make a person so cruel?" Arthur smiled with an air of hatred "A person who knows nothing of love. A person so lonely that he has nothing to look forward to. A person..." He paused here, as if rethinking what he was a bout to say "A person who has nothing to look forward to. That's the type of person he is."
Lily shook her head "No, I knew he is a bad man, but he can't kill innocent babies." "Oh he could, and he will." This time however it wasn't Arthur that spoke but Ron. His vice filled with anger, distrust and what sounded like disappointment? Lily shook off this thought and looked at her uncle patiently as he took a moment to pause. Ginny looked at her brother uncertain what to do next. But it wasn't Ron that responded but Hermione, giving a nod as if this nod would say everything that needed to be said. Ginny the said "Why don't I just show you." Ginny then took out what looked like an average stick and muttered some incoherent word, and as she did the shattered vase was put back together before her eyes. Lily stared astonish as the vase was put back together like magic... no wait it WAS magic.
Lily smiled amazed "How did you do that? I know t was by magic, but how? Can you teach me? Can you just use any type of stick? How does it work?" Ginny smiled weakly at her daughter "In all good time."
Lily looked at her mother again. She had a feeling that her mother was still keeping her in the dark about something. Lily then said quietly to the table at large "And-and are my cousins witches and wizards as well?"
Molly looked at Lily and said softly "Yes... yes they are too."
"And do they know they are?"
Ginny turned to her daughter "No... No they don't."
Silence filled the room as everyone reflected on the past hour. Lily looked outside at the now risen sun. I'm a... I'm a witch. And as this thought came to her, she could distinctly hear a person thudding down the stairs.
"Their awake." This was all that Molly needed to say. Everyone knew who she was talking about. And a few moments later Lily's cousin, Georgina came into the room saying "Happy Birthday Lily!"
AN. Hummm... I don't really like this chapter in some places but since I haven't updated anything for what seems like an age, I will update this anyways. I'm very sorry for the lack of updates for about almost a year but I've been very busy. I hope you like the chapter more than I like it! Please review!
