Famous Last Words ✰ D. Malfoy & H. Potter [3]

Luna, Hermione, Fleur, Dynasty, and Everest were sitting outside of the cottage, talking.

"So, you're saying that Delilah is a Death Eater?" Fleur asked. Hermione nodded. Delilah had met Fleur in her fourth year. They connected and became somewhat friends.

"However, she's not like them," Luna said. "She's a Death Eater for our safety, for the future of wizards, and for revenge."

"Revenge?" Everest asked in a soft voice. She was very young, only fifteen.

"Death Eaters killed her best friend, Nina LeRose. Those Death Eaters are dead, but Delilah wants them all dead," Hermione explained.

"So this Delilah knows our brother?" Dynasty asked. She looked much more like her brother with the brown hair. Everest was a ginger.

"I would assume so. She asked me to save you guys after she saved me," Hermione told them.

"What's your brother's name?" Luna asked softly.

"Prosper, Prosper Rivers," Everest said in a tiny squeal.

"Yes! Delilah does know him! He came to my wedding as her plus one!" Fleur said with a smile.

"She must really care for him," Hermione said.

"Our brother is a great man. He'd die to protect us. You Know Who wanted him on his side, so he kidnapped us. How long ago was it?" Dynasty told them, trying to remember when they were taken.

"It was seventeen years ago, just about. You were around six?" Everest said, looking at her feet. "Our father and mother were kidnapped as well. They had me two years after being kidnapped."

"Father died of starvation. He would give all his food to Mother when she was pregnant," Dynasty continued, "Mother died after Everest's birth. We've been locked up ever since."

"Oh my!" Fleur said, hugging the young girl. She was so small. Growing up in captivity would do the to you.

"I just want to meet Prosper, formally," the youngest whispered. Fleur didn't let go. She had started to cry.

"You'll meet him, I promise!" Hermione told her.

"Do you think Delilah will get in trouble for saving us?" Dynasty asked, holding her little sister in her arms.

"If she does, she'll be alright. Delilah's one tough cookie," Luna said. Harry and Ron came outside.

"Luna! We've been meaning to ask how you escaped!" Harry said, walking over to the girls.

"Well, I - I don't really know how," she lied.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

"It's all a blur. Someone saved me and got me here, I just don't know who," Luna said. They just nodded. Something inside Ron told him it was Delilah, but he didn't want to say anything in front of Harry.

"How did you escape Hermione?" He asked, hoping she'd say Delilah.

"Managed to grab Narcissa's wand. Used that and knocked out all the Death Eaters," she explained, lying through her teeth.

"What's your guys' story?" Harry asked, pointing at Dynasty and Everest.

"They were locked up for seventeen years, well, fifteen for Everest," Fleur whispered.

"Our brother is a Death Eater. Forced by You Know Who," Dynasty explained.

"Hermione, uh, we're gonna get going," Ron whispered. Hermione nodded and stood up.

"I'll see you all soon!"
