The Final Year, Harry Potter Year 7

16. Godric's Hollow

Lilly's POV
I saw Harry and Hermione moved places and with the days that followed they dedicated their time to look for locations of the Sword of Gryffindor.
I got up early and sat at the entrance of the tent. I tried to contact Neville again, but he didn't answer still. After about half an hour, I gave up and went to gather more food. I got eggs, bread, milk, fruits, and vegetables. I left Muggle money under the boxes in case they had Muggle spies, which I highly doubted, but you can't be too careful. Hermione and I split the Muggle money in the beginning it's so she or I didn't have to handle everything when we would out to get food.
Ron didn't get up until about 11 and that's when I ate breakfast. We really spent most of our days in silence, in all honesty, I never really had a genuine conversation with Ron and I've never been alone with Ron. So I sort of felt like Harry did with Dumbledore when we recruited Slughorn for staff...
He thanked me for the food and everything, but other than that, we didn't talk. I mostly read my books and he sometimes explored the nearby town, to my protest...
We moved every other day and I remember Ron asking me one day, "Do you know where they are?"
I nodded and he said, "Can we go back?"
I said, "Not time yet..."
He nodded and asked, "Do you really love, Neville?"
I was taken back for a second, Ron always hated Neville and I being together. I said, "He's my everything. I really do care about him..."
He nodded and asked, "What's going on with him?"
I said, "Dunno right now, I reckon he's shutting me out and I think he's the reason why I can't see inside Hogwarts. He doesn't want me to see what's going on and it doesn't make me only angry, it makes me worried... He knows I'll go mental if I see something, I have a general guess what is going on, but I don't know, I'm just worried..."
He nodded and I asked, "Do you like Hermione?"
He said, "You've seen my mind, you know the truth."
I nodded and said, "Well, if you can admit it outloud, it makes it even more true..."
He said, "Yeah, maybe..."
I smiled and prepared dinner for that day.

The next day I said, "Come on, I'm tired of sleeping in the woods, let's go to a pub."
He said, "Aren't you supposed to be dead?"
I said, "Aren't you supposed be sick in bed? Look, once and a while it's okay to break the rules..."
He said, "What happened to the rule following Lilly Black?"
I said, "Look, we will be leaving soon, this will make it easier..."
He grumbled, "It's almost time to go to bed!"
I said, "Oh come on, Ron!"

I saw Hermione and Harry make plans and eventually journey to Godric's Hollow. They used Polyjuice Potion and lay a small wreath leaning against Harry's parent's grave.
I waved my hand and a Lily appeared in between James's and Lily's name. It was planted and blooming in the snow... Hermione said, "I think Lilly knows we're here..."
Harry nodded and said, "Thanks, Lilly..." I wrote the words, "Be careful..." in the snow and they wished each other 'Merry Christmas'.

Ron had finished packing the tent and I held out my hand saying, "Give me your hand, I need to alter your appearence a bit, just in case..."
He took my hand and I made him look like a cross of Cedric Diggory and Ernie MacMillan. I made myself look like a cross of Luna Lovegood and Hannah Abbot...
I looped my arm through his saying, "It won't draw too much attention to us..."
He nodded and we found a pub, checked in and got a room.
