"Give me a minute to hold my girl..."

When I open my eyes, I see blinding white lights.

I groan, my ears ringing loudly.

Was I dead?

I must be...

I try to stand, but I'm too weak.

As the ringing in my ears starts to fade, I hear distant voices. With each passing second, they grow louder and suddenly, I realise I'm not alone. I hear shouting and screaming from all around me, the sharp cracking sound of a spell emerging from a wand is heard.

Then, I open my eyes.

I groan in pain, sitting up and combing my hair out of my face. As my eyes fully open, I realise I'm still in the manor. Everything happens before me in a flash.

Harry stands, his wand pointed at Bellatrix. Hermione and Ron are here too, fighting off death eaters from every direction. Voldermort is no where to be seen and Narcissa and Draco are stood in the corner together, sharing a worried look.

Wait- I'm not dead?

I look to my side, my eyes widening when I see Lucius on the floor, a small gash on his head from when we hit the ground. I feel the cuts on my bare arms and face, but I don't care. I quickly reach out to him, shaking him lightly. "Lucius." I whisper his name frantically, anxiety flooding me from within. "Lucius!"

He groans, opening his eyes. "You're okay," I sigh, helping him up as he holds on to me. "God, I thought we-" All of a sudden, he pulls me to him, embracing me tightly. I hold him back, and he tightens his grip like he's afraid to let go. "I thought I was going to lose you," he whispers, and it's like the fighting around us has suddenly stopped.

"I thought I was gonna lose you too," I whimper, my hand caressing the back of his head as I hold him. "I didn't mean to hurt you Kelly, before when I-"

"I know," I whisper. "It doesn't matter now."

"You are my family, you know that don't you? You and our baby."

I finally pull away, nodding. "I know."

"I promise you, as soon as this is over we'll leave here. You, me and our child. We'll leave all this behind and never look back."

I sigh - if only it was that easy.

"Okay," I reply, not knowing what else to say.

We're brought back to reality when I hear my name being called. "Kelly!" I turn to see Harry stood before us, holding out his hand for me to take. "We need to go, before the rest of them come."

His face was normal now, the stinging jinx had gone. I take his hand, standing up with a struggle. As I brush my clothes off I see Harry offering a hand to Lucius, and weirdly, after a hesitant moment, he takes it. "Let's go." Harry pulls me gently by my arm, leading us over to Hermione and Ron.

I look back at Lucius, who stares at me with sad eyes.

"Kelly come on! We need to leave now!"

I look at Harry and he waits for me, his hand outstretched towards me for me to take it and apparate with him. I look at Lucius one more time.
