chapter 22

something went awfully wrong Voldemort someone how sent hazel ginny and aveena to the Hogwarts grounds and lily to the forbidden forest where Voldemort was waiting for her lily couldn't even think straight all she saw was Voldemort the trees and death eaters before hearing Avada ka vada and she fell to her death she let out one final scream of failure before She was lying face down on the ground again. The smell of the death filled her nostrils. Every inch of her ached. She did not stir, but she remained exactly where she had fallen. She had expected to hear cheer of triumph and jubilation at her death, but instead hurried footsteps, wherpers, and solicitous murmurs filled the air. "My Lord... my Lord..."It was Bellatrix's voice, and she spoke as if to a lover.lily did not dare open her eyes, but allowed her other senses to explore her predicament. She knew that her wand was still stowed beneath her robes because she could feel her wand pressed between her chest and the ground. "My Lord... she's dead," Narcissa said only for Draco if she said lily was alive she knew she would never see Draco because Draco loved lily and if narcissa caused lilys actual death draco would never forgive her "That will do," said Voldemort's voice. More footsteps. Several people were backing away from the same spot. Desperate to see what was happening and why, Lily opened her eyes by a millimetre. Voldemort seemed to be getting closer to her. "The girl ... Is she dead?" There was a complete silence in the clearing. Nobody approached lily, but she felt their concentrated gaze; it seemed to press her harder into the ground, and she was terrified a finger or an eyelid might twitch. "You," said Voldemort, and there was a bang and a small shriek of pain. "Examine her."
Tell me whether she is dead." lily did not know who had been sent to verify if she was alive or dead she could only lie there, with her heart thumping traitorously, and wait to be examined, but at the same time nothing, small comfort though it was, that Voldemort was wary of approaching her, that Voldemort suspected that all had not gone to plan... "She is dead!" Narcissa Malfoy called to the watchers. And now they shouted, now they yelled in triumph and stamped their feet, and through her eyelids, lily saw bursts of red and silver light shoot into the air in celebration. "You see?" screeched Voldemort over the tumult." Potter and lily Leigh dead by my hand, and no person alive will threaten me now ! ", the clearing echoed with jeers and shrieks of laughter. "Now," said Voldemort, "we go to the castle, and show them what has become of their hero. Who shall drag the body? There was a fresh outbreak of laughter, and after a few moments lily felt the ground trembling beneath her. " you carry the body " Voldermort said indicating someone to grab lily they picked her up and carried her towards the grounds. Branches caught at lily's hair and robes, but she lay quiescent, her eyes shut, and in the darkness, while the Death Eaters coed all around them, nobody looked to see whether there was a pulse beat in the exposed neck of lily; lily could hear trees creaking and falling as they passed; they made so much din that birds toes shrieking into the sky, and even the jeers of the Death Eaters were drowned. The victorious procession marched on toward the open ground, and after a while lily could tell, by the lightening of the darkness through her closed eyelids, that the trees were beginning to thin. And now a chill settled over them where they stood, and lily heard the rasping breath of the dementors that patrolled the other trees. They would not affect her now. The fact of her survival burned inside her, a talisman against them. Someone passed close by lily, and she knew that it was Voldemort herself because he spoke a moment later, her voice magically magnified so that it swelled through the ground, crashing upon lily's eardrums. "lily Leigh is dead. She was killed We bring you her body as proof that your hero is gone.The battle is won. You have lost half of your fighters. My Death Eaters outnumber you, There must be no more war. Anyone who continues to resist, man, woman or child, will be slaughtered, as will every member of their family. Come out of the castle now, kneel before me, and you shall be spared. Your parents and children, your brothers and sisters will live and be forgiven, and you will join me in the new world we shall build together." There was silence in the grounds and from the castle. Voldemort was so close to her that lily did not dare open her eyes again. "Come," said Voldemort, and lily heard her move ahead. Now lily opened her eyes a fraction, and saw Voldemort striding in front them, wearing the great snake Nagini around her shoulders, now free of her enchanted cage. But lily had no possibility of extracting the wand concealed under her robes without being noticed by the Death Eaters, who marched on the either side of them through the slowly lightening darkness.... lily shut her eyes tight again. She knew that they were approaching the castle and strained her ears to distinguish, above the gleeful voices of the Death Eaters and their tramping footsteps, signs of life from those within
