Two months. Two whole months of no school, nothing but the muggle lifestyle. And that for a taster was just what lily potter had needed to calm herself down over the whole death eater situation. If Bellatrix Lestrange couldn't find her in the muggle world Lily thought she could do that more often. But then again, what was the point in running from something that currently favoured you? Lily Potter had never been number one in the family, if anything she had slunk around in the backgrounds only being recognised as a slytherin. Sure her brothers included her, but they were idiotic pranks. Her time with the Dursley side of the family had been... different, but then it was her own uncle dudley's wife that told her she was pregnant. Lily couldn't believe it at first and almost sprinted to the nearest pregnancy test she could find in the shop, and she went home, tried it only to come off with a positive result.
Her world had been getting better only for it to come crashing back down once again. She had only just turned fifteen and now she was going to be a mum! The time she had taken of was perfect. Her family not knowing where she was or if she was ok, not knowing about a baby. But after careful consideration she had decided it was time to pick a side, not based of what would save herself, but based off what would keep her child safe. Lily was one to always put herself first but now, she had made way for a new life. One she didn't want to screw up for making stupid choices, Lily knew trouble seemed to be magnetic to her, it attracted her and now she had to begin to pull away. The only problem was she needed people to fall back on. But she felt isolated. Alone. She had spoken to Axel Greyback, the father and he had said he would be there for her only to walk of and get some new girlfriend.
Some dad he would be pissing of the mother that would kill him, literally. She feared that she would loose it and return back to the deep hole she had pulled herself back out of, and now since Bellatrix was willing to do anything Lily wanted to keep her on her side, Lily was willing to begin making deals. But first thing was first she wanted axel's girlfriend away from axel. Sure she might have been a little possessive over a seventh year that was only connected to her by what was growing in her but hey, she was happy to begin destroying the girl who thought she could be a part of the babys life. So first thing was first. Potions. Lily wasn't a big fan and even if she could be terrible at things, when she put her mind to it miracles seemed to happen. besides she wouldn't be testing the potion, isabella would.
She walked through the dungeons at the late hour, thinking just of what she could make to scare the girl off. She wouldn't kill her, no not in hogwarts. Just something to make her back off, exactly what lily wanted. She stopped outside the familiar potions classroom door and glanced around the creaking door. It looked empty enough. She hoped it was empty as she entered lighting up a few of the candles to light up the work space. There was already a book out, and well she flicked through attempting to find a half decent one that wouldn't take up too much time.

(Ooc: my reply will be short since I'm on my droid phone)
It had been a long week and victoria just wanted to rest and relax to a glass of... thick red wine. She smiled as she poured a glass and settled down in a chair by her fire place. She told Dante that she needed a break to just sit and drink and that she would owl him when she was well rested and ready for whatever he had in mind for them. She rolled her eyes knowing that whatever it was it would be new and most likely long. She shook her head and then began to think about her students. And how so many of them had either dropped out or just didn't come to her class anymore.
And then Lilly came to mind and Victoria missed her. Se had tried to talk her out of leaving,but it seemed that her story was not convincing enough. But she had heard that she was back and with favor of the Dark Lady, Bellatrix, herself. She shook her head and heard her classroom door open. She thought she had closed it. So, with a confused look and her hand wrapped around her glass of blood, she walked through her office door and up the stairs to her classroom to see who it was.
When she saw the all-too-familiar figure that she had not seen in months, she gasped and dropped her glass, eyes fixated on Ms.Lillian Potter.

Of course it had been the longest week in lilys life. She had to tell Axel and James, then Axel had told Rose and Chris meaning she had to speak to them. She had taken Chris back as a boyfriend, only to have Asher fight her for the favoured spot of Bellatrix. But that wouldn't happen, what more could the woman want other than twisting Harry Potters own daughter to killing him? Of course Lily knew that was happening now, she hadn't at first, but things came clear. She wasn't going to jump the ship back to "daddy" anytime soon. She was happy going along her daily life and well she wasn't happy being pregnant, but she knew she still had to tell Bellatrix before the small bump grew. Wearing baggy clothing had work well, even though many people had noticed that that wasn't what she normally wore. But she had of course blamed it on the latest winter fashion and that had kept their gobs shut.
She knew who's classroom it was. Victoria Harker, a woman she had confided into in her rough patch. The woman always seemed to pop up when times were hard, and Lily wasn't sure why. It was like it was instinct to come seek reassurance, but of course Lily had blocked herself from the Wizardry world completely during her leave. And living with muggles in a muggle lifestyle had to have been the best thing in her life. She knew she had to come back, her disappearance due to illness was what her parents had claimed, and lily was glad that they would wait until she was able to tell them what was going on. She knew she was in for murder once it was out in the family. She glanced up at the office door, but saw it was open. She shrugged it off, and continued what she was doing all the way up till she heard a familiar voice gasp and a glass smash.
Slowly her eyes locked on to the professor, and she half froze up before pulling her wand out and muttering "Reparo" not even wanting to know if it was wine or blood after all she already knew what the woman was as the woman knew exactly what lily potter had been up too. Well maybe not the new addition to the story but close enough. "Sorry. Did i disturb you? I was just.." she looked back at the book before back up at the professor stood on the balcony. "Looking for something" Lily wasn't one to be nervous but under the eyes of Victoria Harker she was well... a little.

Part of her wanted to believe that this was real... but some of her wanted to say it was a dream. The only girl she had cared for so much as she did was back in her classroom as if nothing had happened. She had been asking the Deputy Headmistress what the Potters said about Lily, but when she heard it was illness: she knew something else was up. She shook her head a little and then watched as her glass shaped back together and then she bent for a moment, not taking her eyes from Lily, to pick it up and then stood up slowly and walked down the stairs. "No... You didn't disturb me..." she paused just a desk away from Lily.
She wanted to just take her into her arms and hold her close, but something told her that there was a lot different about this girl and she was not about to break down in tears and sob about missing her. She had to hear what was going on. She tuned into Lily's heart. It wasn't hard because Lily had a strong healthy heart and she heard it beating a little fast. Scared? Nervous?
She knew what Lily could do and what she had put herself into, so she knew that it could not be fear. It would have to be nervousness and that worried her. She had been gone for so long... had she forgot what it felt like to be around her? What had it been? Half a year? She was fourteen the last time she had seen her. Whatever it was. It felt like an eternity. But something else caught her ear as she tuned out, but she would let Lily tell her about that. She sighed lightly and sat down at the desk in front of Lily. She gave a light smile and looked down at her hands. "What..." she looked back up at her. "What was it you were looking for, Lily?"

Lily began to feel rather stupid now. She had of course distracted herself and begun to forget what exactly she was in here for. Clearly for a potion since it was after all they both were now sat in the potions classroom. Lily honestly wished that nothing honestly was happening. If she wasn't lily potter, she wouldn't be pregnant, she wouldn't by far be a death eater and with any luck she would be just another muggle. Knowing nothing about anything. It must be great, she had played muggle for two months and well it was the best thing she had ever done in her life. She knew she couldn't hide from everything in her life, but she had atleast tried.
Lily didn't think her luck could get much worse. After sorting her life out in the two months she had been given for illness, it all came crashing down since she turned out pregnant. She knew it wouldn't go down well with the family. Let alone what bellatrix would do. Lily was a liability, and liabilitys were disgarded off. She knew at one point she had ended up confiding in the woman that sat before her, and she guessed she would again.
She averted her gaze to the seat infront of Victoria, and after condsidering she decided to head on over. It looked like it was time for a catch up. She sat down, and her gaze fell to the professors. "I guess it doesn't matter now." she sighed, knowing it would probably come bite her in the ass sooner or later. "So.." she finally said. "Have i missed much?" she qued. |

She watched the girl carefully. She was not sure who to believe about what she had done and what she was capable of doing. She could understand Jack, she knew who he was and what he would become if his mother died. But there was more to this picture than met the eye. She would have to watch and listen to Lily for clues. She would have to wait patiently to hear if Lily was going to tell her anything else. She sighed lightly and silently and then listened as the ghost in front of her told her that it did not matter what she was looking for, she wanted to know if she had missed much.
Victoria's heart sank. That's not the answer she was looking for, nor the question, but she sighed and looked over at the papers on the desk that were to be returned... it was about two feet high. She looked back at Lily and nodded lightly. "Indeed you did. Three lessons and the fourth started just yesterday. But the homework is easy. I just need you to tell me what you want to learn for the second semester of the year and we'll be good. I'll excuse you from the tests and final since your father called an excused absence for illness. But you will need to get notes from fellow classmates for the comprehensive final before OWLS...
"But....May I ask what you were sick with, Lily?" she knew that it was a trick question, but she knew that Lily did not know that she knew there was some other reason.

It was a little awkward settling back into school. She'd been questioned by just about everyone, though not her brothers. She had only spoken to James and he had his own problems. She felt bad loading her own on top of his. It was only a few days before she'd told her father, and well that hadn't gone down all that well either. She bit her bottom lip out of habit, and her hands lay clutched together on the table as she listened out to what the teacher replied back. Lily knew she needed a new way to escape Jack, but how was a question. She couldn't find any answers. Even if her father said he could help her, it still didn't feel all that right. There was something going to happen to her, and she wasn't sure if it would be a turn for the better or the worse. Either way Lily was always one to tag on to the ride she called her life. She was merely waiting for the tracks to end.
Lily never really cared much for potions. She wasn't exactly the best of the best. Always blowing it up in her partners face, ever since the first year she'd learned how to escape from it blowing into her own face. Now it had become a handy skill. She dropped the subject about isabella. She could get rid of her another day. "Ill catch up." lily nodded, partially knowing that was a lie. She hadn't bothered with homework all year, she wasn't prepared to start panicing about her OWL's let alone her downfall of a future. What Victoria asked however caught lily a little of gaurd. She had been expecting it, and knew nothing of what to say back. She gave a few moments of careful thought, wondering how to put what happened accross.
"I wasn't sick" Lily wasn't about to lie about it to someone she had confided in. "My dad doesn't even know why i left. I just asked him to make an excuse up." she paused for a few more moments. "I fell apart, lost control." she began contemplating words to explain. "So i left to visit my muggle aunt and uncle. They weren't exactly the best people to live with but it was better than being on the streets, i even started at a muggle school. I didn't think i was going to come back, i don't think anyone actually thought i would come back, but i had too. Im pregnant." |

Victoria didn't know what to say. She could understand just why she had been gone... it could have been all the stress from the Death Eaters and from Bellatrix herself. She really disliked that woman with a fiery passion, but since her father was neutral, she had to put up with her for his sake. She listened as the girl went on and explained that she went to a muggle school, stayed in a muggle home, and such. She sighed and nodded, and then she heard that she was pregnant and Victoria held up her jaw. She looked over at Lily and almost wanted to cry.
She had changed almost as much as black is from white. She used to be such a sweet girl, but when she hit fourteen, everything changed. Her attitude, style, thoughts, and persona in a whole. She thought for a moment and then began to speak.
"You know you could have just come and stayed at my fathers house with me. Sure, I would be gone during the days, but I'm sure there's lots of things you could find entertaining in that old manor house..." she paused. She locked her eyes on the girl. She didn't care how awkward Lily felt around her at that time. "But I am glad you are back.... both of you." She gave a light smile to Lily. Something Lily should know Victoria rarely did.
(ooc: I'm sooooo sorry it's been so long!)
