chapter 13
A/N: here's to me hoping that three chapters make up for my procrastination...
CHAPTER 13
‘She’s stable.’
‘Him too.’
‘Do you think Pete will tell Dumbledore?’
‘Prolly. You know he has that rat under his thumb.’
‘I wonder how the Professors will react.’
‘So, if that’s Professor Williams, that means that Lil an Sev are his parents.’
‘Lily’s gunna die next year. Sev’s gunna hate the Gryffs. Lil will go to James.’
‘Even though he’s with that Raven.’
‘From what Liam showed us, Sev turned real bitter, maybe we abandon him too…’
Their conversation was interrupted by the running footsteps. Sev burst through the door, and immediately made his way to Lily’s prone form.
“What happened? She okay?” Sev started hyperventilating, his mind over-reacting to everything.
“Sev, sweetie, listen to me okay? She’s fine. I need you to calm down. An I promise she’ll stay perfectly fine.”
Sev had just opened his mouth to demand an explanation, when the door burst open once again. The two professors were followed in quickly by a slightly panting Siri and Remus.
The group watched in silence as Liam, as they were allowed to call him in private, rushed over to Lily with a barely audible ‘mum.’ The 3 Slytherin’s didn’t react, as they had figured it out earlier, Sev, however, blanched, and his face turned an even paler color.
Remus had never really been thankful that he had Mooney, but the sharper hearing did come in handy every once in awhile. As he stood silently and watched as his favorite professor finally revealed the final piece of the puzzle, he realized that everything was going to fall apart, and painfully soon.
Draco made his way over next to Liam. Gently he grabbed his boyfriend’s shoulder and squeezed it in reassurance. “You know she’ll be okay.”
Liam looked up, a ruefully self-loathing expression on his face, and spoke softly enough to not be overheard. “I finally realized that everything, everything is my fault.
“No baby. If you must blame anyone, blame Dumbles. He’s the one that wanted his own world-domination.”
“Dray, you know as well as I do that the wards we set weren’t made to be touched by a pregnant woman. The only thing that saved her was the fact that in some cellular level, I was there. Because I was unable to speak, the spell allowed her to speak for me.”
“And the mixture of aura’s and spells, has thrown her into a… coma of some sorts.”
“And if I don’t do something soon. I will die.”
Draco finally understood, and a defeated look settled into his eyes for a brief moment. “It’s the only way. I’m not letting you kill yourself.”
“What do you guys mean? Between the 5 of us, we’ve read every text about healing there is, and even we don’t know what to do.” Joe interjected, having heard the last part.
Liam smiled ruefully. “We create a cocoon of pure magic to surround me with in the womb. While I work on un-tangling the spells, the developing me will be kept alive.”
“The only problem is,” Draco continued. “Is that Liam already has a deep well of magical power. The fact that he’ll absorb our combined pure magic cocoon causes him to develop even more, making him, in the future, one of the most powerful wizards alive.”
“Which causes Dumbles to create the bogus prophecy, and make my life a living hell.”
Draco kissed the back of his neck. “You couldn’t’ve known, love. Now come on, let’s go save the day.” Liam nodded. He looked at the flabbergasted students. “If you’d all be so kind as to help us?”
Peter made his way to Dumbledore’s office. What he had briefly overheard, would guarantee him his future. When he was first approached by Dumbledore, he had been skeptical, and unwilling to spy on his friends. But once he was shown the ‘backstabbing’ proof that everyone participated in, he had quickly agreed.
Peter was one of the few Gryffindors that knew Lily was dating a Slytherin. And the only one that knew that she was pregnant. He had yet to tell Dumbledore, but this would be the perfect time, creating the perfect opportunity to strike, and put his plan into motion.
He scurried down the hall, intent on his destination.
Liam sat back on his heels, face flushed. “There.”
“What about James?” Sirius spoke for the first time.
Draco waved his hand and the curses disappeared. “He’ll wake up soon enough.”
The spell had taken a lot of energy from everyone. In order to complete it, glamour’s were taken off, to help add to the spell.
The multiple scars were overlooked by the Gryffindors, as they stared at the Slytherins in shock.
“What?”
“When did she get married? And to whom? She wasn’t even dating anyone.”
The students shared nervous glances; it seemed as if they had finally been found out. Sev was the one who spoke up. “We’ve been dating for the past few years, and just got married last month.”
Siri started sputtering incoherently as he tried to come to terms with everything. He took a step towards Sev, and was about to advance more, when Remus stopped him. He was no match for the werewolf, as Moony lended his strength in holding the irate Gryffindor back.
“Not now.” Liam enforced. “Sev, pick up mu-lily, an follow Dray. He’ll get you into our rooms. Sirius, Remus, grab James.” He turned to the Palleschi twins. “Can you two walk?”
The shot a glance at the other and nodded. “We’ll manage.”
Liam nodded in understanding. “Will, back-up, if you don’t mind.” The boy nodded his head in understanding.
The group made their way down the hall to the rooms. Once inside, they all relaxed a bit easier.
“Liam, could you tell us why James got cursed like that?”
He nodded. “The original spell was created by the ancient Egyptians. It was used to guard pyramids, by checking bloodlines, it could determine if you were allowed into the tombs. If you weren’t, you were cursed with paralysis. Dray an I however, added the curse to remove your mouth, if you can’t talk, you can’t cast a spell. So we would know who was trying to get in without permission.”
“So the reason that Lily was able to make the door let go of James was…?”
He sighed. “The magic detected me. The door was forced to obey Lily because I was more or less present, but unable to speak. The reason she was in the coma was because that she wasn’t one of the few the door is allowed to obey, regardless of blood, she was affected by the magical overload, sending her into the defensive coma.”
The wall in question started to move, interrupting the next question. The students turned towards it with slight apprehension.
Ginny walked though the door, and made her way to Liam and Draco. “Lee, Dray, we’ve got a problem.”
