Chapter 11: Not Unscathed
She woke up dazed, she felt like she was rocking, and moving. It felt like being on a boat, like floating. Is this what it's like to be dead? She asked herself.
You're not dead, think back. A small voice in the back of her mind reminded her, the last thing she remembered was triumph, Riddle was dead. Lily opened her eyes. Severus was carrying her.
"Put Me Down!" Lily said icily. Severus obliged, Lily looked up at him and that small voice reminded her of something else…
"Lily there will come a time when I'll have to leave you. A time when I will say things that you must never believe. Please Lily don't listen to a word of it. You'll know when it happens, and you can't believe it for a second."
The look in his eyes confirmed what she already knew, what deep down she must have always known. Severus loved her, he always had. Lily slapped him as hard as she could.
"You. Will. Never. Do. That. To. Me. Again." She said throwing her arms around him; she began sobbing into his chest.
They were alive, Severus couldn't believe it, and Lily was in his arms. "Lily what's wrong, why are you crying?" It was a stupid question they were, after all surrounded by bodies.
"Because I'm happy.' That puzzled him.
"Please explain that one Lils." He said not sure how she'd react to the pet name.
"I'll give you five reasons;
One: were alive"
I really mean that much to her? He thought
"Two: You're holding me."
I must, Severus squeezed her a little
"Three: Riddle is dead."
Thank goodness,
"Four: I'm alive, I thought I was dead for a minute there."
I wouldn't be alive other wise, he thought.
"Five: We're having a baby
………………
Severus was speechless, he took lily in his arms and spun her around, He held her close, his whole family in his arms and he kissed her. Severus marvelled, like so many times before, at his luck. This most perfect woman loved him, she forgave him constantly and now she was going to have their baby.
Severus lifted Lily back into his arms and carried her into the castle they passed the bodies of the fallen Order members and the people carrying them off the grounds. They passed Fabien Pruitt, Gideon Pruitt, Dorcas Meadows, Benjy Fenwick, Marlene McKinnon and Edgar Bones. The Order wasn't unscathed in this war, but at least it was over.
