Life after the deathly hallows

Chapter 24

Lily's POV
"So I was standing around at Hogwarts as you were and an owl flew over to me. He gave a note to me. Then something bit me and I wake up here. Believe me I don't know any more than you do."
I leave out the part about the girl. Technically, she just said not to tell anyone about her or what she's doing so I'm not doing anything wrong.
"Do you have the note?" He asks me after a while of taking in everything.
"Yeah, it should be in my pocket-Of my clothes that day- great I don't have it!"

I kick myself mentally for not bringing it with me. How could I be so stupid? Hugo opens his mouth again to ask something but closes it when he hears a creak coming from the woods.
"We should probably get going."
"Wait, but you never told me what happened."
"Next time. We have a lot to discuss! And next time don't forget your stuff!"
"I.." Before I get to continue, Hugo comes back and grabs my face in his hands.

"In the meantime, stay strong and please be careful. Don't try to handle things on your own, I'm here too." He kisses me on the cheek before he leaves, leaving me both shocked and blushing.

I remain so shocked I don't realize I'm slamming the door and mom is still awake in the living room. I try to make a run for it and look around for a direction to run desperately but then I hear footsteps and realize it will only look worse if I make a run for it. I try to remain calm and steady my hands while I hang my coat when I hear mom's voice behind me.

"What the- Lily? Seriously? What were you doing out at 12:00 in the night?"
"I- my stomach started hurting again and I thought fresh air might help me."
"Fresh air? And did it help?"
"Yeah, I feel better now."
"Do I need to bring you to a doctor or something?" She starts to look concerned.
"No, trust me, I'm fine, I think I just need a good night's sleep." I try to give her the hint that I want to leave but either she doesn't get it or she's still suspicious. I hope it's not the latter.
"Are you sure? You look a little pale."
"I uh, I'll be fine, I just need to rest a little."

This time she moves aside and let's me leave but the worried look on her face doesn't. I try to go up the stairs calmy like I usually would but it doesn't work and I run up the stairs. I dive into my bed face-first and slam my head on the bed repeatedly. Stupid, stupid, stupid! How could I be so stupid?! Now she's worried and suspicious! She'll never let me out of her sight again! There goes my only plan to talk privately to Hugo? I lift my head and decide to just change and brush my teeth and sleep. Maybe I can set up a meeting with him later.

Next morning...
Lily's POV
I wake up in my bed happily until I remember yesterday's idiotic accident. Ugh! I get out of bed and decide that I've had enough. I deserve ONE relax day. I am done with all this. I can't do anything about the Hogwarts problem now that everyone's lives are on the line. It probably won't even change the number of deaths, it will add-on if anything. I decide to keep quiet about it until I can actually do something or think of a plan. I slip my white high-low dress, and put half my hair up with the other half down. Today at least, I am don't with all this saving the world bullshit. I am simply going to act normal.
