Chapter Eleven: Who We Truly Are

Author's Note: Thanks for the constructive reviews, favourites, follows and reads! You are all awesome and will always make my day!

Disclaimer: I have two sets of Harry Potter books in my room, the full movie set, the Hogwarts library, two books about the movies of HP, a Hogwarts journal, a Harry Potter poster that takes up a quarter of one wall in my room, a set of awesome hand drawn HP shoes, one super comfy Hogwarts jumper, three HP shirts, one time-turner necklace, two HP bracelets and my room is cover in HP posters so I'm gonna go with that I don't own Harry Potter but I know who does! J.K Rowling, the most inspirational woman, owns all rights of Harry Potter! *Sighs* I wish I owned more stuff.

'Victor Nott, sixteen, is wanted by Aurors of Britain, for crimes such as physical abuse on a minor, mental trauma on a minor, the illegal use of one of the three unforgivable curses and the attempted use of one of the three unforgivable curses. If you happen to see him, do not approach, instead, call the Aurors and leave the area. If he is seen in another country, contact the British Ministry, or if you can't contact us, contact the Auror office of your Ministry.' Harry said, looking at Ron.

'That's all thank you,' Ron added, 'any questions?'

'Who is he's parents?' A reporter asked.

'Theodore Nott and Pansy Parkinson who are Death Eaters,' Ron answered, 'any questions?' There was silence and Harry nodded at his best friend and brother-in-law.

Harry and Ron walked off the stage and they walked off towards Kingsley's office.

'Any news?' Ron asked quietly.

'On which one?' Harry sighed.

'Both,' Ron said.

'He's trying to leave Europe,' Harry said, 'but we have wards up against Death Eaters leaving Europe so he's staying here in Europe. We think he's in Germany or Austria.'

'What about the other one?' Ron asked quietly.

'She- she's coming home,' Harry replied softly, 'Ginny is taking a few months off of work to stay home with her, and I told Kingsley and I'll only be working two days a week. I'll work from and all but other than that she'll go back to school after Christmas- if St Mungo's allows her.'

'Oka- Draco Malfoy?' Ron said, sounding surprised. Harry saw Draco Malfoy standing at the door of Kingsley Shacklebolt's door. He was holding a letter and he had turned to face them.

'Potter,' Draco said, 'the one person I needed to talk to.'

'Yes Draco?' Harry asked. 'I'm- I'm a rather busy person.'

'You'll make time for me,' Draco said, 'is there somewhere private where we can talk?'

'Why?' Ron asked.

'I'd talk you both, but I can't.' Draco said. 'Until we're somewhere private.'

'Fine Draco, mine and Ron's office,' Harry said irritably, 'fifteen minutes?'

'No, now,' Draco said, looking annoyed.

'Why, Draco?' Harry asked. 'Why can't you wait? I've to talk to the Minister and then I have to go- go to Hogwarts on- on business.'

'Because this letter is about that business.' Draco said loudly.

'What do you know about that?' Ron asked. Draco looked at him then Harry.

'They might be listening to me.' Draco said. Harry suddenly clicked to it and he glanced at Ron who seemed to have the same thought.

'Let's go then,' Ron said. Draco nodded and the three of them took the stairs to the Auror level and they quietly went into Harry's office, which while Nott was escaping custody, was Ron's office as well. Harry waved his wand and the anti-hearing charms were put around his office.

'What do you know about my business with Hogwarts Draco Malfoy?' Harry asked sharply.

'You daughter was abused by Victor Nott,' Draco said. Harry looked at Draco closely. He still had a point chin and high cheeks. His grey eyes were not cold anymore and his blonde hair was almost white, like his son's. His face had a few scars on it and Harry noticed a particularly long one near his eye.

'How do you know this?' Harry asked. 'It's been kept in the family. We asked your son and daughter not to tell anyone, including you unfortunately.'

'Theodore Nott has been communicating with my- Lucius,' Draco said, handing Harry the letter. Harry took it carefully and read it.

ML,

The mission is working wonderfully. My son was able to get the girl and weaken her to the point that the girl is now going home for therapy and will probably be broken beyond repair! I'm proud of him and I'm sorry to hear about those grandchildren of yours, especially the girl, but her mind will soon change if we're able to get the thing we desire.

It's an assumed Prophecy about the girl. My son saw it in the blood-traitors mind. He said that it was relating to the father but I don't think it is, and neither does my son anymore. We don't know how to get it but we need your help.

Reply with different owls because even through my son did most of the mission, he's wanted by all of Europe, especially the family. Your grandchildren will come around one day when they learn that no one wants them.

Remember the plan at the castle.

NT,

Harry handed the letter to Ron to read and he read it quickly.

'Bloody hell,' Ron muttered.

'My mother had gotten to the owl before my father, since he was mysteriously gone, read the letter and she immediately came to my place with it. I came here as soon as possible. They said that you had a meeting with the Minister of Magic so I went to his office to try and get you when you two saw me.' Draco explained.

'Thank you Draco,' Harry said, 'have you stopped contact with Lucius?'

'Since the Howler he sent my daughter yes,' Draco said.

'Howler?' Ron asked.

'Lucius found out about Cassiopeia's sorting and sent her a howler,' Draco said, 'I only spoke to him before that because of my mother but I refuse to acknowledge his presence anymore, especially after this letter.'

'Does he have other letters?' Harry asked. 'That are easily accessible?'

'No,' Draco said, 'he'd keep it in his drawing room where he kept his dark artefacts.'

'We need to enter the house,' Harry said, 'find more letters so we know Nott's position and then we know where his son is.'

'I- I want to offer help,' Draco said. Harry raised his eyebrows at Draco and he leaned back in his chair.

'Why?' Ron asked.

'I want the Death Eaters gone just as much as you two do,' Draco said, 'they ruined my life as well.'

'You could be helpful,' Harry said, watching as Ginny's horse Patronus galloped through his door.

'She's ready to go,' Ginny's voice spoke, 'do you want us to wait for you?'

Harry sighed and put a hand through his hair.

'Draco, meet Ron and I here tomorrow morning at eight,' Harry said, standing up.

'I might be able to get another letter if I'm able too,' Draco said, 'and I might have some of his potions. I can have a look at them if I can grab a sample from each of them.'

'Send a Patronus if you are able too,' Harry said, 'but if you can't it's alright, I know you could be watched. And send it too both of us. '

'Okay, I'll see you both tomorrow morning,' Draco said, nodding at them both and he left the office. Harry sighed and looked at Ron.

'I'll update Kingsley,' Ron said, 'go to Hogwarts.'

'Okay,' Harry said, waving his wand, watching his stag prance out of the room. A minute later Ginny's Patronus came back and told him that she'd wait for him in Minerva's office with Albus and James. Harry looked back at Ron who was re-reading the letter again.

'They're back,' Ron said, 'they're back, Harry, and this time they can get through to us worse,'

'I know,' Harry said quietly. He sighed and walked over to his fireplace. 'Thanks Ron,'

'See you later,' Ron sighed. Harry nodded and picked up some Floo Powder.

'Minerva McGonagall's office, Hogwarts!' Harry said, stepping through the flames. He looked at all the fireplaces whirling past him and after a minute, he arrived at Minerva's office. He wiped his robes off and took his glasses off to wipe off the soot.

He looked at his two sons who were saying goodbye to Lily to Minerva and Ginny who were talking quietly to each other. He saw Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore, along with some of the previous Headmasters and Headmistresses looking at the scene curiously.

'Hello Harry,' Dumbledore said cheerily. Harry smiled at his old Headmaster and he looked at Snape. He was watching James, Albus and Lily with a thoughtful look. Ginny and Minerva looked at him and then back at James, Albus and Lily.

'See you later, Lils,' James said, 'make sure Padfoot and Prongs don't get lonely.'

'And Moony,' Albus added, referring to their chubby tuxedo cat that idolized Albus.

'Yes and Moony too,' James smiled. Lily merely nodded and looked up at Snape and Dumbledore.

'Till next time Lily,' Snape said, a small smile curling on his lips. Lily's lip twitched.

'See you later!' Dumbledore said chirpily, his blue eyes shining over his half-moon spectacles. Lily nodded and walked over to Harry. Ginny gave James and Albus a hug before walking over to Harry and Lily.

'I'll see you next term, Miss Potter,' Minerva said, smiling at Lily, 'I'll let your friends see you every weekend along with your family.'

Lily merely nodded and she looked up at the ceiling. Harry looked over at his two sons.

'No detentions from either of you,' Harry said, 'for at least a week okay?'

'I can't promise anything.' James smirked. 'Louis, Fred and I got this great idea and-'

'And we won't perform it dad,' Albus said, stepping on James's foot. Harry snorted and he heard Ginny groan. Harry hugged his two sons and walked over to Minerva.

'Make sure you catch them,' Minerva said quietly.

'I'm working on it,' Harry said. Minerva nodded and looked at James and Albus.

'You two can go back to your dorms,' Minerva said, 'and do homework.'

James snorted and Albus nodded and they both left, after waving goodbye to Lily, Harry and Ginny.

'Are we going by Floo travel?' Ginny asked. Harry nodded and Ginny went through the fire first with a Lily's owl. Lily slowly stepped through the fire and whispered Potter Manor. Harry grabbed Lily's trunk and looked back at Dumbledore and Snape.

'I think it might take a bit longer than expected,' Snape said before leaving his portrait. Dumbledore walked off joyfully and probably went to talk with Remus, Tonks and the others down memorial corridor. He bit the inside of his cheek and looked at Minerva.

'I think he's right,' Minerva said, 'but I hope she surprises us.'

'Me too,' Harry said quietly. He nodded at her and he felt the unpleasant sensation of Floo travelling and he stood out of his fireplace and into his living room. He brushed off the soot and he saw Ginny walking over to the kitchen, Lily nowhere in sight.

'Where's Lils?' Harry asked.

'Went straight to her room,' Ginny sighed, 'probably to get one of her favourite books.'

'Divergent, the Hunger Games or the Fault in our Stars?' Harry asked.

'You know if your life was a book you'd be the most popular book series,' Ginny laughed.

'Thank gosh that hasn't happened,' Harry said, smiling.

'I'm making grilled cheese, ham and tomato sandwiches, want one?'

'No tomato,' Harry said, grabbing Lily's trunk.

'I know, Harry,' Ginny smirked. Harry just shook his head and walked up the hallway. James's room was the closest to the kitchen and the living room, Albus's was the next one, with a large window with a view of the country scenery and Lily's was the last, with a large view of the country side and the make shift Quidditch Pitch they had. He knocked on her door and heard a quiet yes from inside the room. He opened the door and walked in.

Lily was sitting on a yellow beanbag on the corner, she wasn't reading any book but she was looking outside of her window, her right elbow resting on her windowsill and her long sleeved shirt revealed part of the word written on her arm.

'I have your trunk Lils,' Harry said, putting her trunk at the end of double bed.

'Thanks dad,' Lily said quietly, not looking at him.

'Mum's making grilled cheese, ham and tomato sandwiches, if you want one,' Harry said.

'I'm not particularly hungry but thanks anyway.' Lily said, still looking outside. Harry sighed and debated internally with himself. Should he stay with her or let her be by herself for a while?

'Dad, you can go have a sandwich,' Lily said, breaking his thoughts, 'I'm not going to be much company.'

'Okay Lils,' Harry said, 'I love you,'

'I love you too dad,' Lily said quietly.

***HP***

Lily heard her father walk out of her room and she stood up. She went to her bookshelf. She looked between her favourite books. Divergent, the Hunger Games or the Fault in our Stars? She decided on the Hunger Games and took out the first book, which had a white cover with a gold mocking jay, which was Katniss's lucky pin.

She walked back over to her beanbag but she didn't open her book. She stared out the window, the first part of the word written on her arm visible. She glanced at it and felt more nauseous. She wanted it to go away, to vanish from existence.

She pulled down her sleeve and put her book on her windowsill. She couldn't concentrate. She kept thinking of meeting her grandparents properly and being able to hug them. To be able to talk to them about her life. She could do that with their portraits but it felt more special.

Perhaps had she had gone with them, she would have had more special moments with them.

'I can't think like that,' Lily said quietly, 'I can't think like that,'

Lily stared down at her book. She couldn't read but she couldn't sit and let her mind wander. She stood up and placed her book back on her bookshelf and walked over to her trunk. She took out her favourite photographs and set them on her bed side tables. There was three. One of her, Ginny, Harry, James, Albus and Teddy before James went to Hogwarts, there was one of her, Frank, Alice, Cassie, Scorpius and her cousins that went to Hogwarts. The last one was Cassie, Hugo and herself. It had to be her favourite because it was just her with her two best friends, not a care in the world.

Hugo looked a lot like his father, however he had little freckles and his hair was short and brown. He had blue eyes that would have either trouble or kindness lit in them and he was tall and had a tendency to only read up on subjects he liked, like wizard chess and Defence against the Dark Arts.

Cassie looked like her brother and father, her face was, however, less pointed and more rounded like her mother's. She had her mother, Astoria's, eyes which were a dark blue and her hair, like her brother and father, was white blonde, with a few dark streaks that was wavy down to her mid back. She loved adventures and she always loved to sing. She was kind as well and caused mischief in classes with Hugo.

Lily however looked like her mother and father. Her hair was a Weasley ginger, however she seemed to have dark tips that looked dyed but was actually natural. Her eyes changed from a light green to light blue and she had her mothers' face and body structure with her father's eyes, nose and mouth. She liked to be kind to other people whenever she could be and she always tried to keep a straight face when Hugo and Cassie pulled a prank yet it never worked and she only participated if she was certain it wouldn't kill anyone.

She wiped her tears away stared out the window again.

Why her?

Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews, reads, favourites and follows! It always makes my day! :) Now did you like this chapter? I was going to have a confrontation between Draco and Ron and Harry but I thought to leave it for a heat of the moment thing.

Also I was trying to think of my favourite book series (other than Harry Potter) and Divergent, the Hunger Games and the Fault in our Stars came up! I'll mention some more fandoms, television and books and describe how it has/will help Lily with her recovery because it's how I feel with Harry Potter when I felt down when my Uncle and Grandmother died. Harry helped me so I imagine Katniss, Tris and Hazel would help Lily :)

If you think of a fandom (that suits Lily) I'll take it on board! I'm more than likely gonna include Once Upon a Time (my favourite fandom after HP) and I just LOVE it! :)

Thanks again and please leave a constructive review! :)

Also do you want to know who I think plays each character? Let me know that, what fandoms you think Lily would have (she's eleven remember!) and how was this chapter, especially Draco and Harry and Ron! :)

Enjoy your day! :)

UPDATED 22/07/2015 BECAUSE I WROTE THE FAULT IN OUR SKIES NOT THE FAULT IN OUR STARS! I'm so sorry and thank you Apollo's Hufflepuff Girl and CRAZILITIOUS for pointing it out!

Also do you guys want a bit of a happier chapter next time because either way I will probably write a memory of Lily's with Hugo and Cassie at Hogwarts.
