The Sad Truth

Tragedy

After that whole fiasco everyone went to sleep. I was looking at the ceiling but couldn't go to sleep. I quietly stood up and walked outside, I saw Harry and approached him "not sleepy?" I asked him and he shook his head. "Can I ask you something?" I told him staring up at him. He looked down at me and nodded "how good is you know who on their word?" I asked hugging myself.

He looked at me confused "what do you mean?"

Looking up I told him what Bellatrix had said "durning our fight she said that you know who would like me and that he'll come for me, I'm not planning on getting captured but it doesn't stop me from worrying"

"Listen Voldemort would stop at nothing to win, and I don't know how serious the threat was, but just know that we all care for you and wouldn't let anything happen to you. Plus I'm sure you wouldn't go down without a fight" he smiled trying to lighten the mood.

We sat there until the sun rose as he told me about his uncle Sirius and his passing. He even told me about his parents and why he casted a spell on my dad. "What I found really odd was that they called you Lily when you burst through the door" he said looking at me.

I wrapped a blanket around me "yea I haven't stopped thinking about that day, I don't have any idea who Lily is but it felt oddly comforting" I told him truthfully "and if I really look like this lily lady then am I related to her or something?" I said looking at him.

"I'm not really sure, maybe a cousin" he said "what was your moms name, you mentioned that she left, maybe it was her" he said with hope in his eyes.

I looked down "I don't know my mom, not even her name. She left when I was a baby, well more like gave me to my dad. I've tried asking him about it but I always get "we'll talk later" but I think it's just hard for him to say anything" He didn't respond, we just sat there in silence. I began to feel sleepy so I stood up "Sorry I'm going to head back, thanks for keeping me company" I smiled at him, he nodded as I headed inside.

Harry POV
"Could it be?" I mumbled

Lilian's POV
The week went by quickly, I was packing my things to head back to Hogwarts when Fred and George walked into Ginny's room. "Yang, we are going to miss you" they say hugging me.

"I'll miss you too" I said, "don't worry I'll see if I can visit the shop" I smiled up at them. They stayed to help me pack. I walked down the steps and met with Neville I saw Molly and Arthur "thank you for having me over Mr. and Mrs. Weasley" I tell them.

Molly pulled me into a hug "Sweetie you're welcome anytime, we should thank you for helping us protect our home" she asked me telling me to wait as she quickly sped walked to the other room. She came back with something in her hands "I made this for you" she says handing me a sweater, I open it up and see that there is an L stitched into it.

"It's beautiful, thank you so much" I said putting it on. After our goodbyes we left back to school.

I was sitting in the library looking up potions when someone sat in front of me. Looking up I seen it was Draco, I looked back down at my book as if no one was there. "Lilian please, I know you're mad but could you listen to me?" He asks in a whisper tone.

I shut my book and put it on the table "If all I'm going to hear is "its complicated" I don't want to hear it" I tell him

"It is complicated, why are you making this so hard" he sighed out I clenched my fist under the table.

I stood up and harshly whispered "Sorry that I want to support and be there for you in difficult times. I told you that we can work this out together, and how am I making this hard? you've been avoiding me for weeks!"

"I have my reasons" he says

"what are they? what's so important that you've avoided your girlfriend?" I asked starting to get frustrated.

"I already said I cant tell you, stop meddling where you don't belong. This has nothing to do with you, just stay out of my business" He looks down as he says this, he gets up "I think we should stop seeing each other" he says before walking out of the library. I was staring at his retreating figure, my chest tightened and tears started streaming down my face. I stood up and collected my things running out of the door.

I was running and crashed into someone "Bloody hell Lilian what's going on with you?" I looked up and saw Ron "Why are you crying?" I cried a little more.

Wiping the tears from my eyes "I'm fine Ron, really, I just have somewhere I have to be" I told him as I ran off to Hagrid's hut. I ran as fast as I could when I got there I knocked on his door, and it quickly opened.

He looked down at my crying face "what happened?" he asked and I hugged him

"D-Draco broke up with me" I sniffled "I know its nothing to cry over, I just wanted to know what was upsetting him, was I being to pushy?" I said

He brought me over to the table and we sat down, he served me a glass of tea "Ill tell ya, Malfoy is a big dummy for ending things with you, really, you did nothing wrong, you cared for him and I'm sure he knew that" he said taking a sip from his drink "The thing you have to remember is that people especially the Malfoys aren't used or rather don't see when a person truly cares about others, I'm not exactly sure why he broke up with you but I can assure you it wasn't because you cared for him" he told me. We spent a few hours talking, well Hagrid talked more about Aragog but I didn't mind it.

There was a knock on the door and I opened to see Ron and Hermione "what are you guys doing here?" I asked them.

Ron looked sheepish and Hermione stepped forward "Ron told me you ran out of the library crying. We were worried and came to see if you were ok, it took us a while to guess where you'd gone off" she says hugging me "what's wrong?" she asked. I told them what happened in the library, I also mentioned times where I thought he was acting strange.

"I don't mean to interrupt but I think you all should be heading back to the castle" says Hagrid "Looks like a storm is coming" as he said this grey clouds started to appear. We got all our things and Hagrid walked us back to school.

When we got there, there was a huge crowd gathered, we walked to the front and saw harry crying in front of professor Dumbledore body. I gasped and saw Professor McGonigal lift her wand up in the air and so did the other students and professors. There was a light in the sky, I stared at it, when it began to fade I looked at the building and saw someone retreat back into the building.
