From last chapter:
Harry couldn't stand it anymore and embraced her, calming her down "You did your best, thanks to you innocent people weren't hurt" she returned the embrace, holding onto his warmth, taking in his smell. When her tears stopped and she was calmer they parted slightly, faces inches apart. Harry unconsciously leaned in, Lillian the same. Penna watched happily from her stand, her master and her special someone sharing their first kiss…

When they broke apart they looked into each others eyes. Blue to green, green to blue. The secret is both of them enjoyed it, but they both thought it was one sided.
"I'm sorry, I was…" Harry began
Lillian avoided his eyes "Thank you trying to cheer me up! Thank you" I just wished he would like me back. I have seen his future, his future with Ginny. A future where I am no longer here…
Harry was looking at her. 'Cheering her up?' is that how she saw it? Maybe we are just friends to her. Harry began to get up, mumbling a "Get better" and a "rest" he was out the door.
You really are cluelessa voice in her head said.
Lillian looked at the phoenix. "Don't give that look"
What look?
"That look, the look that says 'you just missed your change'"
You are saying that yourself not me. Why didn't you tell him?
Tell him what?
That you are head over heals for him and that you are sacrificing yourself him. And the 'I love you's' and so on. Lillian on a serious note, you do realise you're the first in your family since Purity that actually has a chance at love. Don't throw it out the window; I hate to see you all alone.
Don't worry about me, I'm fine!
You always say that! But your not, you have nightmares at night and I have to use my powers just so you can rest for a couple of hours, since the age of 8 your family has had high expectations of you, you lost your entire family, 10 of them in a single night and hide your true feelings under a happy, cheerful exterior. You are not fine, you need human closure, and let me tell you for what I felt, you hurt Harry just now.
Lillian was silent "Don't worry, I won't last long anyway, do you forget about my prophecies, of what I see?"
We make our own destinies Lillian

Harry went to his room, a sad feeling in him. Part of him was sad that she had not taken his kiss more seriously, the other part ecstatic that they kissed. Why were his feelings so messed up these days? He joined Hermione and Ron in what they called their Practise Room and spent the rest of their afternoon practising advanced magic.
However Ron and Hermione could not stop noticing the absent expression on their best friends face and his lack of complete enthusiasm over the new spells they were trying to learn.
"Mate what's wrong with you?" Ron asked after Harry failed to block a spell and fell onto the floor, his legs trapped by chains.
"Nothing I'm fine" he said, while wordlessly saying the counter spell.
"Harry we noticed that you're a little distracted this afternoon, do you want to share what happened?" Hermione enquired
Harry thought for a while, if he told them what happened Ron would freak out, thinking Harry broke up with Ginny for Lillian and then Ron would most likely land him a black eye. He decided to keep this to himself, maybe he would talk to his parents later.
"It's nothing, just a bad night, don't worry" Harry said
Ron shrugged it off and they continued their training, Harry was careful not to let himself seem distant or distracted.

After the kiss incident Harry and Lillian pretty much didn't see each other very often, not that it was Harry's choice, its just Lillian was hardly ever home, and when she did she seemed so tired, that she looked on the verge of collapse. For some reason Penna was always with her, either flying next to her or on her shoulder. Everyday there were amazing stories of the things the Heir of Merlin was up to. Headlines such as 'Heir of Merlin finds Cure' where the talks of a Werewolf Cure Organisation was going to be founded, how cured werewolves were joining the Light side, prejudice for ex-werewolves practically non-existent.
Other headlines around the words of 'Merlin helps Ministry determine guilty' where Lillian helped to find the truth about certain so called ex-Death Eaters. About a week before Hogwarts started Lillian called a meeting for the Order, the kitchen had to be magically expanded because so many new members had joined. Lillian gave out the earrings to each member. She talked about how the Order was being successful and how many Death Eaters had been caught. She then went on to introduce some special new members.
Everyone was surprised when Alice and Frank Longbottom walked through the door; behind them were Neville and his grandmother. Both with big smiles on their faces. Lily went and hugged Alice, since both had been friends at school and before they went into hiding. Neville and his grandmother had also joined the Order, and each received an earring. After the meeting was over Lillian asked the Inner Circle to stay behind.
The kitchen was now back to its normal size, Lillian who had been busy lately told them they would be performing the ritual now. She told them to link hands. She closed her eyes, her second limiter already released, and began to chant in ancient Runes "May our minds be linked through speech, may we be linked in spirit and strength, work we will be expected to do, and together we shall remain, Merlin bless this Circle with success and may the war be victorious to our side. Do you chosen ones accept this?"
"I Lily Potter, vow so to do"
"I James Potter, vow so to do"
"I Sirius Black, vow so to do"
"I Remus Lupin, vow so to do"
"I Alastor Moody, vow so to do"
"I Harry Potter, vow so to do"
"I Ronald Weasley, vow so to do"
"I Hermione Granger, vow so to do"
"I Molly Weasley, vow so to do"
"I Arthur Weasley, vow so to do"
"I Kingley Shaklebolt, vow so to do"
All 12 people felt a surge of electricity go through them, but it was gone in an instant, Lillian went on to explain what will happen.
"Now we can communicate through Mindspeak, all you need to do is focus on who you want to talk to and say their name in your mind and then speak. Also if you want to find out where they are by just picturing them and if they are close, around 1km radius you can sense their auras."
Moody, Kingley, Arthur and Molly went out for their daily shifts. The Trio were about to get up when Lillian stopped. She waved her hand and 3 broomsticks appeared beside her, they levitated and stopped in front of Hermione, Ron and Harry. They had a nice light brown handle, the whole broom was amazingly made, a powerful aura of respect surrounded the broom. The word DragonFire was carved in fancy gold lettering at the top of the broomstick.
"These are for you; they are good for quick escapes. They are called DragonFire's, they were made by my family and are much faster, balanced and stronger that the best broom now, so no one will be able to catch up to you. The good thing is that they can shrink and fit in your pocket. When you sit on them you will never fall and will feel comfortable, in case you don't like flying like Hermione do not worry, they broom will fit your needs and you will loose your fright" Lillian said
They said thank you and accepted the brooms, the moment they touched them they felt warmth go through them. Before they could say anything else Lillian had gone from the room.
