"So to sum it all up, you were trying to betray us, Professor Villeti is evil, and we have to go rescue Mum and Dad," Albus said.
"Well, I wasn't actually going to betray you. I really thought that they didn't want me," Lily said, looking at her feet.
"Well, there's only one thing to do. We have to go save them," Aludra said.
"She's right. We have to," Roxy said.
"Here's the plan," Elizabeth said. "Albus, Rose, and Scorpius will go get help. Me, Aludra, Lily, Roxy, and Hugo will go try to at least slow them down."
Everybody agreed on that plan, and then they all set off to their various destinations. Elizabeth, Aludra, Roxy and Hugo followed Lily through the castle to the Entrance Hall. It was now late afternoon. They would have to be careful not to get caught.
"How do we get out of the grounds?" Lily asked.
"My brother told me about this one way. The Whomping Willow guards a way to the Shrieking Shack. We can get out through there," Roxy said.
"Where do we go once we're in Hogsmeade?" Elizabeth asked.
"The home of Dennis and Demelza Creevey. Do you know where that is?" Lily said.
"Yeah. We used to go there sometimes to shop for Quidditch supplies," Hugo said.
Good, let's go," Aludra said.
Lily led the way to the Whomping Willow. Roxy showed them the correct knot to press. Once they could get to the passageway, Lily turned around.
"Thanks for all of your help, but I need to go alone now," Lily said.
"What? Why?" Elizabeth asked.
"Because this is all my fault. I need to set it right. I can't put all of you in danger because of something that I did," Lily said.
"Lily, we're going to help you," Aludra said.
"But why?" Lily asked.
"Because we're you friends," Elizabeth said.
Lily contemplated it for a few seconds then said, "Fine, you can come. But if it gets to dangerous, you have to run."
The others all muttered their agreement and followed Lily into the passageway. It was dark and musty, and probably hadn't been used for a long time.
When they came into the Shrieking Shack, they found it dusty, but otherwise tidy. Hugo found a window that allowed them to climb out of Shrieking Shack and into the night. It had grown dark while they were inside, and Lily wished she had thought to bring a jacket with her. It was still winter after all.
Hugo and Roxy led the way to the Creeveys house. When they got there, everything looked normal.
"what if they're not in there?" Elizabeth asked.
"They will be. Professor Villeti is smart. Se'll know not to make it obvious that something is wrong," Lily said.
"Wands out," Hugo said.
The rest of them complied and pulled out their wands. Lily crept up on the door and turned the knob. The door sun open.
"Are you sure you don't want to leave? You could go back and get the teachers," Lily said.
"Shut up and let us through," Aludra said.
Lily sighed, but led them down the hallway. There were voices coming from the living room.
"-Fall for it?" one voice was saying.
"Who knows? Knowing her they will," another said.
"Did you hear that?" the first voice said.
"It might be them!" a new voice said.
"Shh! Be quiet!" a familiar voice said.
Lily and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
"What are the talking about?" Aludra mouthed.
There was silence in the other room.
For five minutes, both sides stood still, in a stand off. Then, whispering ensued from inside the other room.
"Can you hear what they're saying?" Roxy mouthed to Lily.
Lily shook he head.
Suddenly, a smack was heard from inside the other room.
"You'll regret everything! You who stopped the Dark Lord! Tell us the password into the Auror office!" another voice said. This was a voice they recognized though. It was Professor Villeti!
"We won't tell you. You might as well give up now," a calm voice said.
"It's Uncle Harry!" Hugo mouthed to the rest of them.
"Tell us, or we'll kill her!" Professor Villetit said.
There was footsteps, then silence. Lily wished she could see what was going on inside.
Finally, Lily mouthed to the others that she was going inside the room. The others nodded. Lily inched forward to see…
EVIL LAUGH!
Just so you know, I'll be going on vacation for a few weeks, so I won't be updating for a while. Bye until then
