Lily Black

Chapter 83: The Black Leather Jacket

A few days later I was finally up to my full health. Christmas was over. Nobody really celebrated. It was hard to be happy when there was so much darkness.

"I want to go to Grimmauld Place." I said while I poked at my piece of toast Lupin gave me.

"Are you sure?" Tonks asked. She was 5 months into her pregnancy.

"Yes." I said.

"Alright. I can take you." Lupin said.

"I can't go alone?" I asked.

"Not anymore." He said.

"Please, I will be fine." I said.

"No you won't. Voldemort has doubled the death eaters walking around. They are in muggle clothes now, They can hide in plain sight now. So no you will not go alone again. Also I am still worried about your strength." He said. I could tell he was not going to move on this.

"Fine." I said.

A few minutes later we left. We landed very carefully on the step. We had to be careful since Dumbledore was the secret keeper, when he died anyone could tell the location.

I opened the door to find it was a mess.

"Someone was here." I said. "I don't think Harry, Ron, And Hermoine did this." I said looking at the broken glass.

I said a spell and the broken glass went away. I put the pillows back on the couch.

"Lily, you don't have to fix it." Lupin said.

"I do. This is my house." I said.

I walked around the house and cleaned it up. I finally got to my dad's room. I opened the door. His bed frame was in pieces. Chairs were knocked over. I waved my wand and the bed frame was fixed. I walked over and set the chair right. I walked over to his closet and opened it up. I saw a few things. I went through his clothes and found a leather jacket.

I pulled it off the hanger and slipped it on. Perfect fit. I looked through his desk and found a thigh wand holder. I put it on and slipped my wand into it. I also found a pair of black sunglasses. I put them in the pocket of the jacket.

I looked over on his night stand and found a photo of my dad, Regulus, Bellatrix, Narcissa, and Andromeda. It looked like them when they were young, 9, 10 maybe? I slid the photo of them into my pocket. It was right next to the photo George had given me. I looked at the room one last time then closed the door.

I walked down the stairs to find Lupin sitting one the couch. He looked surprised when he saw my outfit.

"What is it?" I asked.

"You look so much like him." Lupin said. I gave a small smile.

"Can I go to the twins shop?" I asked.

"Sure. let's go." He said.

We appeared in Diagon alley. As we walked through I got looks for who I assumed were death eaters.

"Why are they all looking at me?" I asked.

"Your dad fought against most of them almost wearing exactly what you are." He said.

"Oh." I said. "Thanks for walking me. I will ask George to take me back to the Burrow for dinner then I will apareate back to your place." I said.

"Molly actually invited us all over for a little dinner. So I will see you there." He said.

I walked into the store and was greeted by no people being in the store.

"Fred? George?" I asked. Fred appeared first.

"Wow you look hot." Fred said.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Don't call my girlfriend hot." George said, smacking him on the head. "Oh Merlin, you do look good." George said.

"Thanks." I said giving them a full spin.

"Where did you get that stuff?" Fred asked.

"My dad's place. It was all his." I said.

"Oh makes sense." Fred said.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"We have been forced to close seeing as there are alot of death eaters walking around. We are doing it by OWL now. I told you this" Geroge said.

"Oh right." I said, trying to remember.

"It's ok." George said.

"Oh ok. I can help you however you guys need." I said.

"We were actually just about to head home." They smiled.

"Ok." I said. We apparated away and arrived at the burrow.
