Lilly Malfoy

Believe me

╔══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╗

Draco's pov

The door shut behind Lilly and I fell into my chair "this cant be happening" I said with a sigh. Hermione walked over with a warm cup of tea "drink this, it'll make you feel better" she said. I sipped at the tea and watched as she began to think "do you think...maybe she would have left a secret message? Something only you and Lilly understand? That's why the ministry can't find her? It could be linked to Lilly wandless magic or maybe even something like a picture of you all" she said.

I thought for a second before jumping up and running upstairs. Hermiones soft footsteps behind me. I grabbed a picture off my dresser and shown her it "everyone in my family has this photo. It's the only family photo where we didn't have to be strict and serious...it shown a nicer version of us. Do you think it could be linked to this?" I asked. She looked over the photo and noticed a locket around my mother neck that seemed to sway "does that look like it's moving?" She questioned.

I nodded and looked at the direction "it swinging to the right so if Lilly has one then it must swing to the left. Maybe it's a sequence. But these photos were given to us before the war..." I said "maybe your mum was planning on leaving earlier than she did..." Hermione whispered. I couldn't find anymore words to say "I promise you we'll find her" she said, hugging me "I know" I whispered

Lilly pov

Saturday came and gone and shaklebolt didn't help at all. (Flashback)

"We can't seem to find any links to were she might be, we have two search teams out and our hoping they'll find trace aid her soon" shaklebolt said "actually, Hermione and Draco has a really interesting id-" Harry began "no no...thank you mister Potter, but let's leave this up to the experts" "but-" he tried again "Mister Potter" shaklebolt said. He said a few more words before letting us leave

"miss Malfoy...please stay" he said as I reached the door. I stayed silent and sat back down "you can do wandless magic, is this right?" He asked. I raised my hand and clicked my fingers, producing a small flame "yes" I replied dryly "how did you learn that at such a young age? Only few wizards can perform it to perfection, many still struggle" he said "I've been able to do it since I turned 16, I was never taught" I said. He looked slightly shocked "no that's hardly true" he said "yes it is, it runs in the black family. That's why Sirius could do it, it's rare but it does tend to occur every few generations" I said

"if that's all..." I said beginning to stand up "one last thing" he said, my eyes met his and I felt my body becomes ruff "do not go looking for your mother, leave it to us? We wouldn't want another person to go missing aswell" he said. My eyes widened as I walked away and shut the door...

(Flashback over)

"Papers here" Blaise said handing it to me, I gasped as I read the front page "A distant relative of the recently deceased Lucius Malfoy is found dead" I read aloud "cousin Richard...." Draco whispered "I can't believe this" I said as looked at the story attached "it is belived that Richard Malfoy(24) was killed in his home in London two nights ago. The aurors have not been able to figure out who has done this but there is a current team working in the investigation" I read

"I'm so sorry guys" Pansy said hugging us both "I...I just don't understand who would want to kill him, he wasn't a bad person" I said, my mind drifted back to what shaklebolt said last Saturday "another person" I whispered "what?" Harry said "It's the ministry....or someone in the ministry...shaklebolt said that I shouldn't go looking for my mother incase I went missing as-well...the last letter I received from Richard was when he found out she was gone. He told me he would go and help the aurors as much as he could and now look....he's dead" I said

"they are picking us off...look at this" I said pulling the paper from last week "A young girl, who's bloodline has been traced back to the Blacks found dead" I said, "this can't just be a coincidence" I said "Lilly you don't actually think they'd try and kill your family?" Harry said "I do, my parents weren't good people Harry. They done hateful things so why wouldn't they try and get back at them...at us" I said.

He stayed silent and I looked around the group, Pansy placed her hand on mine "I think you're onto something, but for now...let's keep out of this until we are positive okay?" She whispered. I nodded and looked at Draco who nodded aswell, I looked at Harry who was deep in thought and turned back to my food.

"Are you okay?" I asked Harry as we left for quidditch practice "of course" he said "you were quiet the rest of lunch, are you sure you're okay? Is t about what I said?" I questioned "I just don't think a man that helped me escape from Voldemort would be out to spill more blood" he said. I stopped and he looked at me "so what? You think I'm making this up?" I questioned "no, I just think that your so desperate for a reason to why your mum left that your making up one" he said.

My eyes widened and my mouth fell open "you...I..." was all I could get out "come on we're late for quidditch" he said walking on as if nothing happened. I stood there for a second before running after him and grabbing his arm "Lilly's come on" he said, his tone becoming worryingly deeper "I can't believe you said that... we are meant to have each other's backs, we are meant to trust and believe each other" I said "Lilly.." he began "I turned my back on my family to fight for you Harry Potter, everything I've ever done has been for you, to make sure you're safe and happy so for once can you stop thinking that everything is peachy because it's not! Shaklebolt isn't who you think he is and you need to be more open to the idea that there is still bad in this world..even if we thought they were good!" I spat

"the bad in the world died when Voldemort was killed along with his followers. Maybe it's a good thing your mum disappeared, it's not like she was a good influence on you and for merlin sake she made Draco become a death eater" Harry said, I gasped "you know what...go fuck your self. You selfish prick" I spat before shoving into him and walking on "Lilly!" He shouted after me but i ignored him, as I ran down the hall.
