Chapter 10: The Brave Ravenclaw

Christmas Day: A day for joy and family. Not to be spent in a crowded hospital, getting cancer treatments. That isn't exactly the best Christmas present.

Lily felt sick in her bed, muggle IV's stuck into her arms, injecting her with the treatment that would help heal her. Hopefully.

Today was 28 December, 1995
Lily's parents had brought her some clothes so she could at least feel comfortable since they knew how she hated getting those treatments. Christmas was a quiet affair this year since no one from the future had any gifts to give. It was quite sad in Lily's opinion. Christmas was always her favorite holiday as a child.

She remembered fondly at the memory of making gingerbread cookies with James and Albus on Christmas Eve, all messing around and throwing the dough at each other, all laughing hysterically. Or even helping her mother decorate the house for their annual Christmas party that the Potter/Weasley family held every year. But her favorite Christmas memory was hearing her father singing Christmas carols when he thought no one was watching. Lily's father was quite good, despite popular belief. She noticed how carefree and happy he looked while singing, almost as if none of the war had happened, no devastation.

She sighed. Of course her body had to relapse right now with no way to get her home in this weak state.

Harry and Ginny had promised to return, they had gone to Grimmuald place to get some food and rest. They didn't want to leave her alone but lily insisted that they go get some well deserved rest while she did her treatment. Besides, James was just in the other room using the loo.

Earlier in in the week right around when she was first sent back in time lily was told about how Arthur being attacked by the snake. She was worried of course but knew he would recover just fine in the near future. All the people from this time would be visiting Arthur later on and were to stop by and check in on Lily.

Her main healer, Rowan Marida, a kind witch with light brown hair and bright blue eyes entered the room to check on Lily.

"Hello Lily. How are you feeling?" She asked sitting in the chair by Lily's bed.

"I'm alright. I have a question Healer Marida. What Hogwarts house were you in?" Lily asked curiously. The older witch smiled.

"I was actually a Ravenclaw, but the sorting hat had a hard time choosing that or Gryffindor."

"I'm in Ravenclaw!" Lily said excitably. "Do you play Quidditch? I play seeker."

"I did play Quidditch as a matter a fact, a beater." She smiled fondly. She got up to leave and she turned around to face Lily one last time. "I hope you feel better. You are such a beautiful young girl. It was nice talking to you." Lily grinned and nodded
"You too Ms."

"Oh and Lily? Call me Rowan."

*

"Lil's," James said entering the room about five minutes after Rowan left. "You wouldn't believe how hot this healer is. She was at the healer's station. Blonde, and her boobs weren't too bad either." He sat down in the chair next to his sister. Lily laughed at her brother's antics.

"Oh, but what about Harriet?" Lily smirked as her brother blushed.

"No! No, she's my best mate! I couldn't date her, she's my best friend!"

Lily's smirk grew.

"I-I don't even like her that way." James tried to cover himself up.

"Sure. Keep telling yourself that," Lily laughed at her brother's discomfort. "It's alright to like her James, I'm sure she likes you back."

"How would you know?"

"Oh, I have my ways," Lily smirked as she picked at her fingernails. "Truth or dare late at night in the seventh year Ravenclaw girl dorms are actually pretty easy to listen in on when you're right next door."

James had his eyes wide with his mouth wide open.

Just then Scorpius entered the room.

"Hey Scorp," Lily said cheerfully as Scorpius sat down by James. "Where's Albie?"

"He was too enthralled by this new book aunt Hermione had brought with her from 2022. The Hunger Games I think." Scorpius shrugged. "He was deciding whether or not this girl Katniss should be with Gale or another guy Peeta. He told me to come without him and that he would visit later."

Lily and and James nodded.

"Don't you think that the Ravenclaw chaser Harriet Dukes likes James?" She asked turning to Scorpius.

He smirked and nodded.

"Definitely. She is always looking at you with a dreamy look when your not looking."

"Are you pulling my leg?"

"No James, why would I lie about that? Harriet likes you more than just a friend." Lily smiled but then her face contorted in pain. James jumped up and went by his sister immediately, Harriet far from his mind.

"Lily what hurts? I'll go get a healer, you stay here with Scorp," James ran over to the door and was about to turn the knob when someone opened it from the other side. He stepped back in shock.

There stood Healer Marida, her blue eyes shining with fear. There was a wand was being pointed at her back by a person in a black cloak, a silver mask covering their face.

"I'm sorry. I tried to distract them," The young woman said "But they are all on this floor."

"I-it's ok. You tried." Lily tried to smile, but inside she was truly terrified.

More death eaters entered the room, all with the same silver masks. The Death Eater that was holding Rowan pushed her forward towards the teenagers. James went to his sister's side, stepping in front of her protectively. He put his hand in his pocket, where his wand was. Scorpius copied his actions.

"What do you lot want?" Scorpius growled. A man with long blonde hair stepped forward from the crowd of death eaters, and took off his silver mask.

Scorpius recognized him immediately. It was his evil Grandfather, Lucius Malfoy.

"To get the girl of course," he drawled in his silky voice. "Now hand her over if you want at least a chance at getting out of here alive."

"No. You'll have to get through us," James bravely stepped forward, Scorpius following suit. "How did you even know she was here?"

"The Dark Lord has some followers in Saint Mungos that informed him of a new Potter. Now step aside you silly boy or I'll kill you right in front of her." Lucius hissed

"Never."

Lily hid behind her big brother's shoulder, silently praying her parents would be here soon.

James and Scorpius kept their wands pointed at Lucius, not backing down.

Rowan slowly crawled over to the children.

"Very Well, Avada Kadavra!"

"No!" Someone screamed desperately, then a thud was heard.

Everyone stared in shock at the body on the floor.
