The Final Year, Harry Potter Year 7

1. The Dark Lord Ascending

Lilly's POV
So, I've been at Neville's house all summer. Well, I've been with Neville this whole summer. We've been traveling all over Britain and also to France. We just spend literally every waking minute together in order to somehow make up for time we would lose.
My werewolf bite healed a month into summer, but I have a nasty scar...
Anyway, Pius Thicknesse took over my position as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The Minister said to the Daily Prophet that I wanted to enjoy my final summer before Hogwarts, take a break and travel, and since it was my final year as well I wanted to make the best of it... He said it is very likely that I will return and resume work with the Ministry of Magic as soon as school ends. Yeah, not happening...
Many were shocked by my resigning, after all, I was responsible for putting a lot of Death Eaters in Azkaban. The public became a bit restless, but I haven't said a statement. I am going to send a statement to the Daily Prophet the day before Bill and Fleur's wedding saying that I refuse to come back to the Ministry for any reason until Voldemort is dead. The government gives the pople false hope of how well they are doing. Now that they have, things will change and the people will have nothing that can do about it. An Evening Prophet will go out and it will be the final one before things happen.

Anyway, one night, I was dreaming of Snape. He and Yaxley were attending a Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor. Snape gave the correct date of when we were escorting Harry from Privet Drive. Yaxley, having an ego, said different. At least our plan with Dawlish worked, but we were going to be ambushed.
Snape said there would be little chance to get Harry unless the Ministry would fall before Saturday. Yaxley put Thickness under the Imperius Curse! They were going to kill the Minister! (Okay, in all honesty, I'm not too upset with it, but still, sort of, innocent blood will be spilt!)
Snape told him that the Order won't use anything the Trace, in turn the Ministry, could detect. Voldemort said Harry would be transported in the open. Which, unfortunately, made it easier for Voldemort...
Voldemort needed a wand to kill Harry with and he took Lucius Malfoy's wand. Lucius thought he was getting Voldemort's wand in return, but he didn't. He, his wife, and Draco were all scared of him.
I wanted to hug Draco and tell him it's alright. I used all my power to give him feelings of comfort. He felt it and I whispered in his mind, "Everything will be alright, Draco." He was shocked, but it was at the right time. It was after Voldemort announced that he knew Tonks and Remus got married.
He growled back, "What are you doing in my mind?!"
He felt a warm feeling over his right hand and I said, "Comforting. I regret to inform you, but I will unfortunately see you soon. It will be when you are home from a school break."
He said, "I don't need any form of comforting, I'm happy!"
I said, "Yeah, the way your rigid and refuse to look at Voldemort is happiness... Draco, I know you're scared..."
He snapped, "Get out of my head, Black!"
The warmth on his hand disappeared and I muttered, "As you wish, good luck, Draco..." I left his mind.
The dream continued and I saw Ms. Charity Burbage! She was murdered! By Voldemort and eaten by Nagini! Many Death Eaters lept back in their seats and Draco fell on the floor. I almost vomited...
