Lilith's POV

"Is that really you? Or is this a dream? Am I dreaming? Please don't let this be a dream."

He caresses my cheeks and I lean my face on his hand, feeling his warmth against my ace once again.

Oh, how I missed this.

"I-I-" I can't find the right words. "Why a are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing. I haven't seen you in mont- well, scratch that, I've seen you everyday but I didn't know she was you."

I giggle, the feeling of Draco's arms around my turning my mind into jelly. I rest my forehead against his and sigh contently. He looks at me, taking in my features. Merlin, I missed him so much.

"Why are you here? I thought you were dead..."

"I'm fine, I've been here all along! I wanted to protect you and my brother and my friends." I sigh, pulling him to me. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, love. Merlin, I died a little every day, not knowing a thing about you. Severus wouldn't talk to me, he said it was a sensitive subject. I-I'm just glad you're okay."

"I am, now that you're here." I whisper, staring at his eyes. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be." He leans in and the soft touch of his lips against mine revives my soul. I've missed this.

He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. He touches the bottom of my back and holds me against his chest. He walks to my bedroom door and slams it open to close it behind us with his foot. He places me on the bed, without breaking the kiss.

I take my lips away from him, and inspect his handsome face. He smiles down at me and kisses my face, my neck, until he finds my sweet spot. I moan against his shoulder, bringing his mouth back to mine. He caresses my cheeks as we kiss, deepening it but leaning against my body, nothing but our closes between us.

It's his turn to break our kiss. He slowly starts kissing his down down my neck, his hands traveling south towards my legs. I gasp as he finds the back of my legs and starts massaging my thighs.

I need to feel him, I need him.

He stops abruptly and kisses my lips one more time before falling next to me on the bed. I look at him and he smiles sweetly.

"I love you." He whispers, kissing both my eyelids as I lay my head on his chest.

"I love you too."

---------------

A few days later, I sit by my desk grading some assignments when a voice is heard outside my office's door.

"Professor Beatrice?"

A first year girl knocks on my door and asks for permission to enter. I call her name and she sits by my desk. With a nod, and starts talking.

"Headmaster Severus Snape wants to see you, Professor." She shyly admits. "I'm sorry to bother you."

I get up from my seat behind the black desk and kneel beside her.

"You didn't bother me, Susie. Do you need anything else?" She shakes her head. "Here, I'll walk you to your Common Room. I'll go see Headmaster Severus now."

She smiles and walks next to me as I drop her off near the Gryffindor Tower. I sigh, remembering the good times I spent there with my brother and friends. I have to show him some of the books I've been readin. Just to let him now I want to help my brother with the whole 'Horcruxes' mission.

I walk slowly to Severus' office and stop by the entrance. The password I'm about to say is so ridiculous I would rip off my own head if I could.

"Bango Chango." I whisper under my breath. I glance around me, relieved there's no one next to me.

That would have been embarrassing.

The spiral stairs take me to his office, and I knock before entering. He's alone, sitting by the window like he does a billion times. He's sad. He has been sad for years now...

"Sever-"

"Sit down Lilith."

I eyes him curiously but sit down next to him. I take my books out of my bag and spread them in front of me.

"So this is wha-"

"Listen to me, insolent girl! I am trying to help you."

I open and close my mouth a couple times, no words leaving my parted lips.

"I have some news about your brother. He was last seen by a small frozen pond in the middle of the forest, where he saw my Patronus. He followed it and found the Sword of Gryffindor at the bottom of the pond. Don't ask me how he retrieved it but he did." Severus runs his fingers through his hair. "Ronald Weasley destroyed the locket they stole from Umbridge and the Sword remains with them."

"But didn't Ron leave them? Is he back now?"

"Yes, they're together again. There are a few more Horcruxes they need to destroy but they're doing it right."

I sigh and fall back on the chair. The emotions running through my brain and heart stop the eerie thoughts of my brother's safety from entering my mind. He's fine. He has Ron and Hermione with him. They'll protect each other.

"Is tha-"

"I have more news. And these aren't good ones."

I don't interrupt him, too nervous to hear his next words. What if he's not alright? What if he's not fine and something and happened to him?

"They were last seen in Luna Lovegood's house, where Xenophilius was. But no sign of Luna herself.

"How do you know all of that?" I ask, curious.

"I have my resources. And I'm always looking out for them." I smile at his words. "May I continue or are you going to interrupt me again?"

I shake my head and smile again.

"Do you know The Tale of the Three Brothers?" I shake my head. "Then I'll tell you. The story revolves around three wizard brothers who once conquered death for a short time by defeating a deadly obstacle with their magic. The personification of Death appeared out of anger because he felt that they had cheated him, but pretended to congratulate them by awarding them gifts of their choosing: The Elder Wand, The Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak. Two of the three brothers wished to conquer Death beyond what they had done already, and foolishly chose their gifts accordingly, leading to their early demise." Severus takes a break and scratches his neck. "The third brother was wiser, and hid under the Invisibility Cloak that allowed him to postpone death until he was ready; he lifted the veil that had helped him to evade the afterlife and was welcomed by Death."

I nod, wanting to hear more, as my brain picks up the pieces and makes me realize the truth... Harry has the Invisibility Cloak. That has to mean something.

"The three objects are meant to be the Deathly Hallows, the most powerful magical objects in existence. The Elder Wand is the unbeatable wand of the oldest brother, the Resurrection Stone is the stone given to the second brother, and the Cloak of Invisibility is the cloak given to the third brother that could hide himself even from Death. It is believed that whoever succeeds in uniting all three of the Hallows would become the Master of Death."

"Oh... That's what Vold- herm- he is looking for." Severus nods slowly. "Oh."

"And as we speak, he is looking for the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone... And I know where it is."

"What about my brother? And my friends?"

"Remember the letter the Dark Lord sent you?" I nod, afraid. "He wants you there now. He'll send you another letter in a few hours."

"Why?" Unfortunately, I think I know the reason why he wants to see me.

"The Death Eaters captured them."

I feel the ground leaving me as I fall to the floor. I remember the feeling of Draco's lips on mine before he left. Voldemort had called him and now I know the reason why.

Everything around me turns darker than usual and I hear Severus' voice next to my ear but I can't make out the words he says.

--------

"Lilith. Lilith!"

Someone shakes my shoulders. I stir and sit on the floor, still in the same room I fainted. Severus is looking down at me with worry.

"What happ-"

"We don't have time for that. They're here to take you back to the Manor." As soon as his words leave his mouth, the window next to his desk opens loudly and two Death Eaters enter.

Each grabs one of my arms and takes me away from Severus. He tries to save me from their grasps but they Apparate and we are gone in seconds.

I fall as we land, hitting my head on the cold floor as the two men release me. Black sports fill my vision but they don't let me breathe. They grab my arms once again and drag me across the Manor. I remember every corridor, every detail of this house, and I know exactly where they're taking me: the cellar.

My body collapses on the floor once again when they throw me inside, closing the gate behind me. I can't get up. My heard hurts a lot, and I groan in pain.

I take deep breaths and look around the dark cellar. There are three other people inside, but I can't see their faces. I don't speak, I don't know who they are. What if they kill me?

All my questions are answered when two of them stop pacing around the room and walk to my side. One of them kneels next to me and helps me to my feel. They all gasp when they see my face.

"Lilith." The one that helped me up gasps and hugs me tightly. Harry...

"Ha-Harry!" I hug him back, tears forming in my eyes. "You're okay, you're here!"

"But Hermione is being tortured upstairs!" Ronald interrupts our moment and grabs my shoulders. "You have to help her!"

Footsteps are heard coming down the stairs and I push them to the side.

"Don't touch me, you filthy mudbloods!" I scream in their faces as Carrow opens the gates. "Don't touch me!"

Amycus Carrow grabs my arm and pushes me behind him. He then points his wand at Harry and Ron, and I finally notice Luna sitting behind them. So she's really here, huh?

"Don't come near her, you heard Likith. She doesn't want to be associated with you. Come on, Bellatrix wants you upstairs."

I look back at Harry as Amycus and I start walking up the stairs. I mouth a small 'sorry' and Harry nods. He knows I have to do this.

I follow Amycus upstairs, only to find Bellatrix on top of Hermione. Mione cries out in pain as Bellatrix slaps her and shouts right in her face. I wince.

"What are you going, Bella?" I ask, and she smiles wickedly at me.

"This bitch doesn't want to tell me how she entered my vault and stole the sword." Bellatrix slaps Hermione once again and uses the Cruciatus curse on her. I jog to them and drag Bellatrix away from Hermione, who coughs and takes deep breaths.

"Stop it, it wasn't her fault! I was the one who gave it to them!" I'm desperate and she's hurting Hermione. My goal since I came here was to protect everyone and there she is, laying in the floor in pain... "I broke into your vault!"

Both Bellatrix and Hermione stop glaring at each other and stare at me. Bellatrix's angered face turns to me and I feel her wand pressed against my cheek.

"I should have killed you when I had the chance."

"Why not doing it now?" I taunt her, smiling. "Are you afraid? Afraid of Voldemort, afraid of me? Maybe, oh yes you are. You're terrified, Lestrange."

Bellatrix Lestrange, the woman who killed Sirius, screams loudly and slams her fist on my cheek. I fall to the floor, clutching my cheek as I feel tears falling down my face. She has a pretty hard blow.

Hermione screams for me to stand and fight Bellatrix, but her wand is against my back, as I get up. Bellatrix is being a coward, attacking me while I'm getting ready to kick her ass.

"Bitch, this just got ugly." I quickly turn around and twist her arm, kicking her wand away from her.

It flies around the room and lands on the floor by Hermione's feet. She picks it up and points ur at Amycus. The four of us stare at each other with hatred, but Amycus is faster than us and pushes Hermione to the floor. Bellatrix laughs hysterically as she grips my throat and brings me down with her, my body falling on top of Hermione.

Bellatrix grabs Hermione's arm and starts craving the word 'mudblood'. Amycus laughs just like Bellatrix and holds me down. Hermione's screams surround us and I cry for help. I scream for my brother and Ronald but the only answer I hear is Ron calling our Hermione's name. Harry calls my name but I'm too busy trying to free myself form amycus' grip.

As soon as Bellatrix is done with Hermione, she turns to me and grabs my arm. I know something wrong is about to happen so I try to escape. I can't because Amycus is blocking the door, Lucius and Narcissa behind him. She looks at me, desperate to help. I shake my head, she can't do it.

Her son appears on the doorway as well and looks around the room before his eyes land on me. He gasps and send Bellatrix a glare and tries to help me. But Amycus grabs his arms and throws him agains the wall.

"You'll pay for betraying us. You're just like them!" Bellatrix shrieks and stabs her wand on my skin. I bite my bottom lip, trying not to scream. "And I'll make you pay!"

Bellatrix stabs her wand on my arm and I can't help but scream. The pain she's inflicting me is... I can't even describe it. And she's doing it on my left arm, right above my mark.

I sob as Bellatrix laughs on my face. She grabs me by my hair and drags me around the room. Voldemort is nowhere to be seen. Good, or I'd be dead by now. I feel nothing as Bellatrix hits me, as she curses me and hurts me.

"CRUCIO!" She screams on top of her lungs and a green light hits my stomach. I grab it and kneel next to Hermione, who's unconscious.

"Please, Harry..." I whisper.

I don't believe he heard me but he and Ron suddenly run out of the cellar and into the room we are in.

I'm so tired... I can't keep my eyes open...

I feel Harry's arms wrapping around mine and two curses being shot at the same time.

"CRUCIO!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

One of them hits me, and darkness finally embraces me.

Peace...
