Mine | Draco Lucius Malfoy

12. Weasley's 

"Ron stop, she might be hurt!" A girls voice scolded him, "I was only trying to help." He retorts back.

"Lilly I need you to talk to me sweetheart, breath baby, please breath." A familiar voice speaks steadily through my panic.

My eyes were glossy with tears and my vision was impaired, though I trusted this familiar stranger who  was holding me in their arms.

"Lilly baby, I need you to hold onto me ok?" The voice spoke again and I obliged.

We spun through the air and landed firmly in a field, well from what I could tell.

"What are you lot doing back here? You should be in school." Another voice rang out.

My panic seemed to take over and I felt as if I was starting to lose consciousness, I gripped onto the person harder, digging my nails into their skin.

"Quickly!" The person holding me yelled out.

For what felt like hours I was rushed around and finally placed down in a bed.

"What happened to her?" A soft voice questioned, "we don't know, we heard her yelling and found her like this." A young girls voice speedily explained.

"Percy go fetch me a wet towel for heavens sake!" A woman ordered.

"Lilly.." the familiar voice spoke again, "Lilly are you hurt anywhere?"

I shook my head no, and I could practically feel the stress leave everyone, however the worry only worsened.

Rushed footsteps returned and a cold towel was placed across my forehead, not long after I slipped out of consciousness and back into sleep.

My dreams were no more comforting, the scene of my parents death played over and over in my head, I know my mother didn't talk to the ministry, she was but a passenger in this, a passenger I could not save.

The sun glared onto my face causing my to squint my eyes open, I lay in a rather comfortable bed, the warmth of someone's body pressed against me, I sat up and turned to see.

"Lilly!" The boy shot up, "are you ok, maybe you should lay back down." He spoke urgently.

George pressed his hand against my forehead and his gaze flickered between my eyes.

"I'm fine George, really I am." I spoke but he looked displeased, "Lilly don't lie to me."

I turned away from him guiltily, a single tear rolled down my cheek and I exhaled in defeat.

George pulled me into his chest and held me tightly, "Lilly whatever it is you can tell me, you can always tell me, it will stay between us I promise you that." He spoke soothingly into my ear.

Tears began to stream down my face, "I can't." I say through a silent sob.

"You can, I promise you can Baby, please." He pushed on trying his best to comfort me.

I knew he'd seen my mark, he'd seen it that night in the bathrooms, and he'd seen it now.

"He killed them George." I say quietly, his body tensed and he knew who I was talking about, "he killed who Lilly?"

I shook my head and pressed against him harder, "he killed my parents." I say and a sob leaves my mouth.

George knew about my home life, he knew i loved my mum, though she may of not loved me, I loved her.

"Oh baby, I love you, you know that." He says rocking back-and-forth, I lean against his chest and we stayed like that for a while, at least until I had gathered myself.

"It felt like I couldn't breath George, it felt like there was no air left in the world." I mumble into him.

"I know baby, I know." He repeats to me.

A little while after that we made our way down stairs for breakfast.

"Lilly! Oh my dear are you alright?" A soft voice came rushing towards me, I smiled, "I'm alright now Molly, thank you." I tell her and she grins before taking her seat at the table.

Everyone was there, a big happy family.

George told me to take the seat next to Hermione, I cringed a little, this was going to be fun.

She smiled as I sat down, much to my surprise I smiled back, "how have you been?" She asks, I looked around the table and everyone else was deep in conversation.

"I've not seen you around school for a while." She adds and I turn back to face her. "I've been staying with Malfoy." I answered and she nodded.

"Yeah we all thought that was the case." She responds.

We made small talk and my heart only grew more in pain, I hadn't quite realised how much I missed everyone. For a while this family was the only family that I had.

I peered across from me and locked eyes with another ginger boy, one I hadn't seen for quite a while.

Fred held the eye contact and formed a smile, a sort of sorry smile, I returned it.

Though it may be ice cold between us now, I still treasure the time we spent together.

"Are you not hungry?" Hermione asked me, I break eye contact with Fred, "ah no, I've lost my appetite." I vaguely responded and she nodded in acknowledgment. "Mr Weasley's driving us to Hogwarts after breakfast Lilly, your free to stay here obviously, just wanted to let you know." Harry spoke from the other side of me.

Now don't get me wrong I didn't share any fondness for Potter, in fact I rather pitied him, he had more enemies than I did, yet he always appeared happy.

"No that's alright Harry I think it's time I went back to school anyways." I respond and he smiles in return.

My skin had become paler and I was now obviously under weight, anyone around me could tell, there was no hiding it.

But I wasn't where I wanted to be, if I needed to I would starve myself to death, it would probably be better that way.

After breakfast I followed George back up to his room and we both got changed, I just put on a pair of his joggers and his hoodie, a little while later and we were all in Mr Weasley's magic car and on our way back to Hogwarts, I peered at the window and down to the ground that felt far away now.

The train was passing beneath us on its way back to the station, the puffs of smoke being released vaporised before reaching the car.

A little while longer and you could see the shape of the castle in the distance, I knew this would cause some questions as Dracos probably back there now hunting me down, the castle got closer and closer until the wheels of the car touched safely down on the floor and the doors shot open.

Everyone piled out of the clown car and we began heading inside the castle, we all went our separate ways and I headed for the Slytherin common room.

I pushed open the heavy door and headed up the stairs towards my dorm, I highly doubt anyone would be up yet as we had to make an early start in order to make it back in time for classes.

I walked into the dorm and took a seat on my bed, Pansy was wrapped up in her silk covers, to deep in sleep to notice me.

I felt tired too, almost too tired, I lay down on my bed and curled up tucking my hands inside the sleeves of my hoodie, but I couldn't sleep, there was too much to think about, and I was cold, really cold.

It was killing me but I needed to look pretty.
