~She's gone.~
————————————————
We apparated to Grimmauld place and sent Hermione a patronus to come as soon as possible. We hadn't said a word since we arrived. Still too in shock to speak.
About 5 minutes later Hermione arrived. We could see the panic in her face. I couldn't blame her, after all the shit we had gone through, being scared was nothing new to us. When she saw the tears on the boys face and my emotionless facade, she knew we were ok physically but our minds were all over the place.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" She spoke as soon as she saw our faces.
She wanted to know. So we told her everything. From the surprise we were planning to the words they spoke about us. Surprise, anger, and sadness was evident on her face.
"We need to get away. They might try to do something, especially now that we know. I just don't know where," Harry finally said something.
"I have some muggle family that live in a small town over in America. Not many people know of it. It's surrounded by trees and it rains a lot. It's not the best place but it would be a good hiding place."
"That sound good, but what about Teddy? He currently at Andromeda's, but I'm still worried what if they go after him." My mind was racing with possibilities of what could happen to him. He was just a boy.
We came to an agreement that we would let Andromeda decide what would happen to him.
"I'll call my parents. They'll ask my uncle to look for a house for you guys."
"Thanks," Harry said, "really, I don't know where we would be without you Hermione"
"Probably dead by first year," I joked. This seemed to lighten up the mood just a bit.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
We flooed to Andromeda's house. The sight we arrived to brought a smile to all of our faces. Teddy blue haired, mimicking his toy animals. It reminded me of Tonk when we had dinner with the order.
"Oh, what are you guys doing here? Has something happened?" We turned to see Andromeda standing in the doorway.
We told her what happened. Just like we had with Hermione.
"The reason we came was to ask you about Teddy. We don't want any harm to come towards him. It's completely up to you what happens with him. You could always come with us."
She look overwhelmed. I felt horrible for putting that type of pressure on her, but she had custody over Teddy it was up to her what happened, not us.
"Can I get some time to think about it?"
"Of course, we leave in a week. We can take him if you want. You know give you time to think with no distractions," I offered.
"Please."
We gathered Teddys things and went back to Grimmauld Place. I had a bad feeling when we left Andromeda's house. I knew we should've stayed even a bit longer.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
She's gone.
Dead.
We should've stayed. We would've been able to save her.
A death eater who has gotten away came back. He took revenge at the fact that she had betrayed her family and married a muggle. I kept asking myself why. Why? She never did anything to anyone. Teddy was now the responsibility of me and Harry.
As fucked up as it would is I'm happy we got out of there in time. Not because we're safe but because of Teddy.
"We should try to get out of here as soon as possible. It's not as safe as we though it would be once he was gone," said Harry.
"I agree we should just leave everything behind and buy new things when we get to the new location," it was George that spoke this time.
They were sitting on the couch, I was on the floor with Teddy playing with him. We were sitting in silence for a moment, then the phone rang. I answered since I was the closest to it.
"Hello."
"Hey Lily, it's me Hermione. I heard about Andromeda, I'm so sorry. That isn't what I'm calling about though. I have good news."
"What is it?"
"My uncle Charlie was able to get a house on short notice. It's pretty big too. It's a two story house with 5 bedroom and 4 bathrooms. It's not close to a lot of houses so you can practice magic freely. The only downside it's sorta out of town."
"Ok, no its good. Just send us the address and how we can buy and we'll do it. Is there anything else?"
"Actually there is. You guys have to go to muggle school to keep up appearances. Especially you cause your still underage, not George thought. He's 19."
