Life after the deathly hallows

Chapter 7

"Hello?" my dad picks up the phone

"Dad! Dad! Help! Aunt Hermione came over and I was explaining and-" I say as fast as I can.

"Whoa whoa calm down, slow down I can't even understand you, what happened?"

I take a deep breath and exhale, "so aunt Hermione came over and I told her what I needed to tell her and she-she-she fainted" I say as a tear drops down my cheek.

"Oh my god, I'll be there in 10 minutes!"

"No, dad! she's not feeling well 10 minutes is too long!"

"Il come as soon as I can! you call uncle Ron and tell him what happened!"

"No but dad, he'll get so mad I can-" I hear the dead phone ring and I realized he hung up. I can't tell uncle Ron he'll get so mad at me, but if I don't then aunt Hermione will feel worse. I can't ask Hugo to call him because he's helping aunt Hermione so I decide to man up and call. I call but he doesn't pick up so I call again and again!

"Hello?" He answers the third time I call.

"Uncle Ron you need to come over, aunt Hermione is not feeling well and fainted!"

I hear him drop the phone and go to his car to drive over. I'm so thankful he's coming over to help but I'm guilty of what I did.

I hear a loud knock and go to open the door, I think it's uncle Ron. As I open it, I find out I'm right.

"Uncle Ron I'm so glad you came, she's in the living room."

Before I know it we're in the hospital and aunt Hermione is woken up and feeling better. I'm so glad I don't have to tell anyone about what I said, they would kill me.

We drive back home with everyone and mom and dad are looking at me and Hugo in a disappointed 'what did you do' look. Dad invited aunt Hermione, uncle Ron, and Hugo over at our house. I look down to avoid eye contact and when we get home I go straight to my room and "read a book" but I'm thinking about what they would do if they figure out, oh my, along with how I should handle it.

"Lily? You there?" It's my mom.

"Uh, yeah but I'm busy, I have homework, can't talk sorry "

"Sweetheart, it's ok, I know you didn't mean to." she opens the door slowly, checking her braid for any loose strands.

"Mom, I said I'm busy!"

"Tell me what happened, I'm your mother, it need to know what happened to my brother's wife and what my daughter did." she says calmly

"Mom, I didn't mean to! I had no choice! do you think I was trying to?!" I can't see her anymore, my eyes are too blurry with tears. "I had to!"

She sits down next to me on my bed and puts my book on my desk "I won't get mad at you, I just need to know."

I tell her about the letter and about how I was talking to Hugo outside , and why I told aunt Hermione and how she fainted. Somehow, though, she remains calm unlike aunt Hermione.

"Can I see the letter?" she says calmly. I'm still surprised she didn't yell at me, she's handling this a lot better than I was able to.
