My Family
Chapter 8
Little Lily Potter
"Please Mione. Just this once, play nice." Severus told her 3 weeks later. She had been staying away from everyone that had something to do with the order. Severus and Remus had been trying to help her get over what ever it was that was troubling her but so far no luck.
Draco and Harry had come out about them begin together and that they wanted to look after his child. The only problem was they needed Hermione to tell them where she was but every time Harry asked they ended up shouting at each other over something stupid. Sighing she looked out of the window again and knew that it was about time this was sorted.
"Ok but one more word from Ron and I'll not be held responsible for my actions." Nodding he hugged her from behind and let his head rest on her shoulder. This was the first time since Ginny had gone missing that they had any time to themselves. Narcissa and Clara were looking after Jazon to give Hermione and himself a little rest. After the order had moved in Clara and Hermione had began to talk and sort things out between them. It was taking a while but they were getting there one step at a time.
Draco sighed as Hermione came down the stairs. He and Harry had to hold Ron back and cover his mouth knowing he was going to say something again.
"I think we need to talk." She said looking at Harry before walking into the dinning room. He got up and followed her. Ron went to say something but Draco covered his mouth. For his trouble he got a glare before Ron pushed him off and went to sulk.
"I'll tell you where she is if you and the order promise to leave my family alone and you have to sign a contract saying just that." Harry nodded before getting up and telling her that he would get an order meeting set up for tonight and all she had to do was get the contract ready.
It was later that night they were all sat in the dinning room and everyone listened as Harry told them. They kept looking from Hermione then back to Harry. The contract was signed by everyone in the room and it was only after Hermione had put it away that they asked who her family was. She smirked before a list appeared in front of all the order members and who ever had signed the contract. They were shocked when they saw Sirius's name on it as well as Remus' but what shocked them more was that all of the Malfoy's and Snape were on it. People around her started to shout out at this until she stood up and spoke.
"You should have asked before signing it. And you also should have read what the contract said as well. If any of them are harmed in anyway the same will be done to you but a lot, lot worse." Moving around the room she picked Jazon up and walked out of the room.
Snape smirked and watched her go. She should have been in Slytherin. Harry sighed before walking after her. Lucius and Severus went with him and stood to the side as he talked to Hermione.
"Be ready tomorrow at 9am. The sooner this is over the better. If we leave any later Ginny may have found her and we don't want that what so ever. She'll use her to get at you and you'll fall for it hock, line and sinker." He nodded and said he'd be here waiting at that time. He looked relived but also nervous.
She stood at the bottom of the stairs and waited for Harry to come down. Severus and Remus were coming with her to be on the safe side. Of course Severus had to keep his hood up in case there were death eaters around. Narcissa and Clara were going to look after Jazon for her. Muttering to herself she looked at the stairs again to see Harry walking down them with Draco. Draco had his arm around him and Hermione smiled on the inside knowing that everything would work out for them in the end. She just hoped that they came out of this whole.
"I'll be coming along as well. Don't worry I asked father and he said he'd come as well to keep a look out with us." He added when he saw Severus about to say something. Severus nodded and turned to see Lucius coming out of the drawing room. He also wore a cloak with a hood like Severus.
Shaking her head she put her arm through Severus's and they all started out. It took 10 minutes to get out of the manor and another 5 for Hermione to sort out the port key. They landed outside a house that stood on its own on a hill. Harry gasped when he saw a little girl running around in the garden that looked just like his mother. She was laughing and playing with a dog that was 3 times bigger then herself.
"She's just turned 2 last week. She has problems so please don't be too shocked." Walking to the gate Hermione gave it a knock before opening it. The little girl turned and they all gasped when they saw that her eyes were like clouded green crystals. She smiled but stood still.
"Aunt Mione." Her voice was small and held the innocence that a child should have at her age. Hermione smiled before going to her and getting down on her knees. She seemed to know she was there and her arms went around Hermione's neck and she picked her up.
"I brought some friends to see you. Is Toby around?" She nodded and pointed behind her. Hermione smiled knowing that she meant to point at the house but as Hermione had turned she was pointing off into the woods that were surrounding the house. "Well lets go in and then we'll go play with Rover." The dog barked and followed them as they went into then house.
There was a man just coming down the hall when they walked in and he sighed in relief. "Thank god you're here. We need to talk." She nodded and put her bundle down and watched as Rover took the corner of her t-shirt and pulled her alone to the play room.
"I brought some friends with me. There was something I needed to talk with you about as well." He nodded and took them into the room next to the play room. They all sat down and Severus put his arm around her shoulders.
"Right I'll tell you right away. There's been a woman asking questions in the village about a little girl and if she asks the wrong person they'll point her this way. Lily's the only little girl for miles so it must be her this woman is after."
"Don't worry Toby. This man here is Lily's father and would like to take her home with him. Don't worry about this woman if I see her again you'll never hear about her again." Toby nodded and knew that the woman was in deep shit if Hermione ever got a hold of her. "I hope you don't mind us just turning up like this."
"No not at all. Lily had been asking about you since she saw you last. Beside's I was going to take Lily with me to get away but now you're here I'm sure everything will be ok-" There was knocking at the door and Hermione took her wand out and had to run to stop Lily from going to the door.
"Shh… Lily don't speak just yet and I want you to go and wait with Rover in the play room." Lily nodded her head and felt for Rover. When she touched him they walked back to the play room. Hermione had said that room as there were no windows in that room. The knocking came again but louder this time. The others were behind her holding their own wands. "Toby answer the door but make sure not to open it all the way." He nodded and did as she asked and saw a red haired woman with a tall dark man.
"Hi how may I help you?" She smiled at him and Toby felt a chill go down his spine.
"Harry, Draco go get Lily and tell her I sent you. Then get her the hell out of here. We'll bring Rover when this is over." Hermione whispered to the two men. They nodded but it was Severus and Lucius who shoved them towards the room before they would move.
"Yes you can. I was told that I could find my little girl here." Hermione rolled her eyes as Ginny's sickly sweet voice.
"I'm sorry but there isn't a little girl staying here. There was but they moved out about a month ago now." Hermione would have believed him if she didn't know any different.
"Oh…is there any chance that you have an address for them?" Hermione put on a very Liverpool accent before speaking and the men looked at her in shock.
"Honey who's at the door? Is it young Paul again? If so let him in." Toby turned to look at her with a frown but played along.
"No dear its couple looking for Josie and her niece." Hermione ushered everyone into the living room again and used her finger telling them to not say a word.
"Oh, is it a friend of hers?"
"Say's she's the girl's mother. She was wondering if we had an address for them." Toby was still looking at her and rolled his eyes when Hermione used the note pad on the hall table and wrote an address down.
"It's on the table in the hall way. Left it if her sister came looking. What's her name?"
"I'll ask dear." He turned back to the woman and she smiled before answering.
"My names Hermione and this is my husband Severus." Toby would have laughed if he didn't think this woman would kill him if he did. Turning back Mione he smirked so only she could see.
"Said her name is Hermione." Turning back he smiled a little before speaking again. "Sorry about this. My wife is the only one to have met you as I've just got back from working in America." She nodded at him and heard the woman call out again.
"That's it. Give her the address dear and come back to bed. I've been missing you like crazy." Toby said he would before reaching in and making it look like he was grabbing a piece of paper a table and not someone's hand. He looked at it and nodded before turning back and handing it to the woman but the man got it first. He looked it over and smirked before nodding his thanks.
"Goodbye and thank you. I'll let my sister know how helpful you were." The man grabbed her arm and ushered her out of the gate and down the path. Toby sighed when he had closed the door and leaned against it.
"Thank you Toby. Is there any chance you could be gone before they come back here and try killing you?" He smirked and pulled his own wand out and nodding. "Good go get your things together and we'll get Lily's. I'll keep in contact with you and let you know when it's safe again."
"Of course and you make sure that father of hers takes good care of her." She smiled and they both hugged before they pulled apart and used their wands to put everything into a trunk. When that was done they shrunk them and put them into the pockets. Severus, Remus and Lucius came out to them and wondered what was going on.
"Have any of you ever done a side along with an animal?"
"Yes I have why?" Remus asked.
"Well Rover here-" She pointed to the dog that was sat in the play room door way, "-is Lily's dog and she'd be really sad if he didn't come back with us." Remus nodded before walking over to the dog and putting its hand on the collar closed his eyes and with a pop they were gone.
"Right I'll say goodbye for now and make sure you take good care of yourself and those two kiddies'." Hermione had tears in the corner of her eyes while she was nodding. She knew that she wouldn't be seeing him for a while and was going to miss him. He grinned before they hugged again and when they pulled apart he waved at the others and was then gone. Severus went to Hermione and hugged her and with a nod, him and Lucius went back to the manor gates.
It was a cry that brought Hermione out of his arms when they got there. Harry and Draco were still just inside the gates and Lily was sat down crying her eyes out. Harry looked heart broken and was trying to get the poor girl to come up to the house. Remus and Rover were there as well but that didn't seem to mean a think to her.
"Mione, Mione, me want Aunt Mione!!" Her cry was loud as they walked into the gates. Lily turned and was looking at Severus. Hermione touched his arm before going to the poor girl.
"Hay, what's all this crying about?" Lily stopped crying but she was now sniffing and whipping her eyes on her long slaved top. Kneeling down Hermione picked Lily up. Lily moved her arms around her and put her head into her neck. "Lily how about I tell you something really big?" Her little head nodded and with big eyes she looked to what was Hermione's face. "Well you know that man who took you here? Well that's your daddy. Don't you want to say hello to him?"
Her little face broke out into an ear splitting smile and she nodded her head really fast. Harry grinned and came over to them and said hello to her for the first time. Lily reached out to him and he touched her hand. "Daddy hold me?" Harry nearly broke down but pulled himself together and took Lily into his own arms.
Hermione stood back with everyone else and smiled as father and daughter were brought together for the first time ever. Severus came up behind her and hugged her to his chest. "You did good." He whispered into her neck and gave it a little kiss before letting his head rest there and watch as Harry and Lily hugged. Rover seemed to have had enough and was running around the garden now barking his head off with joy.
TBC…
