Chapter Ten: What is going on?
"Yeah, I do." I sighed. So it hadn't been just an old ghost story. Everything with Voldemort is really happening.
"Where's dad?" Albus says walking into my room. Teddy rubs his eyes.
"Emergency Ministry meeting." I groan.
"All of this is my fault. I'm sorry!" I say.
"No Lily, it's not. Not at all."
"Prove it." Teddy raised his eyebrows.
"Really?"
"Yeah prove it." I say glumly.
"Okay, I'll do this!" He tackles me and runs his fingers across my stomach. I laugh.
"Stop…tickling...me!" I say in between breaths.
"Is it your fault?" He asks.
"No!" I shout. He laughs and sits back.
"Look I got my Lilykins to smile." He says.
"Thanks Teddy" I smile back.
"What's for breakfast? Mum's gone." James says walking in. We all laugh.
"C'mon, I'll make pancakes." Teddy says. James, Albus and I cheer.
We head downstairs into the kitchen and laugh and joke, it was almost like nothing happened. We didn't have any fruit so we just had jelly in our pancakes. I rolled mine up and ate it. As I chewed I thought of how lucky I was to have such a loving family. I thought of how my father grew up. Oh no. I'm making his life worse. He finally has a family and I put it in danger.
"Lily, you okay?" James asks.
"Yeah, just tired."
"You went to sleep before dinner" He replies.
"Lily what's really going on?" Teddy asks, looking concerned. I look down.
"I'm just upset because all dad's life he wasn't loved and cared for or had a family of his own and now I've gone and messed it all up. I probably wasn't even supposed to be in this family, I'm probably just an accident or something and I'm messing his whole life up!"
I ran outside right after I got it all out. I kept running until I reached Kreacher's grave. I sat there and cried until I ran out of tears and then I just sat there with my eyes closed. I heard someone walking towards me but I didn't look up at all. They sat down next to me.
"Lily, you're not a mistake. You didn't mess up my life. It's not your fault." I look up and see my dad.
"Whose fault is it then?"
"Voldemort's" I laugh. "Are you feeling better then?" He asks.
"Yeah, I guess."
"Okay, let's go inside, we have a lot to figure out."
"Dad?" I ask.
"Yes?" He asks in return.
"What are we going to do? With Voldemort I mean?"
His grin disappears. He looks away.
"I don't know Lily, I don't know."
?
Today day was a little better. My parents were home when I woke up. I had lost my voice so I wasn't talking. Much to my dismay. Whenever I tried my mom would shush me or look at me with that 'mom' look. It is horrible. My brothers torture me just because they know I can't talk.
"What film do you want to watch Lily?" James asks.
"What do you want on your sandwich Lily" Albus asks.
Scorpius was here and also, in on it.
"Hey Lily, have you gone school shopping yet?" He asks.
No matter how many times I glare and roll my eyes, they just don't get the hint. I start walking upstairs to have some peace and quiet, without annoying brothers. I finally sit down and read a book. A complete biography of Voldemort.
You know, "Keep you friends close and your enemies closer" right? I was looking at all of his weaknesses and habits.
All of the sudden Scorpius walks in. "So, second year right?"
"Yup"
"Hmm" we sit in silence.
"Whatcha reading?"
"Complete biography of Voldemort" Scorpius looks away awkwardly.
"Sorry Scorpius, I know. I don't think any of that's true, I hope you know that."
"Thanks Lily, look I gotta go, Albus is probably looking for me. Bye"
"Bye!"
That was weird. I read for a couple minutes. I hear laughing. Ugh! I used my voice!
?
This is great. Wonderfully amazing. It's been two days and my voice has not come back. My parents are always gone, looking for things, talking to people.
Right now I was just sitting on the couch reading a book when all of the sudden my dad apparates with a worried and urgent expression.
"You all have to come in and sit down."
"Where's mum?" I ask. He completely ignores me until everyone is in the room. "Where is she? Why is Dad so urgent and worried? Did she die? Please don't have let her die yet, I wanna hear her say I love you one last time."
"What?" My dad asks.
"Huh?"
"Mum's not dead, she stopped at your grandparents house to tell them." My father said.
"Ohh" I say as Albus, James and Teddy walk into the room.
"We found something, about Voldemort. Today while we were talking to people, we heard about a strangely behaving snake. When you're mother and I go to investigate my scar started hurting and we found it dead. Which is what happens when Voldemort uses animals to come back. It's not much, but it's something."
We sit there and look at him. We weren't that shocked. At least I wasn't. I was a little shocked but not that much.
Day fades into night. I find myself outdoors sitting on a bench. All of the sudden I hear a crack of a twig. I look around cautiously. I get up and walk inside cautiously. Once I get inside, I make sure the doors and windows are all locked and tell my mum and dad that they can put on the magical locks.
I go upstairs and practically collapse on the bed. I wonder what that was? I was, a bit...scared. I want someone to sleep with me. I sit up. No Lily, be brave, just sleep with your wand. Be mature. I get my wand and lay back down, falling asleep with it in my hands.
