Lilith's POV

"That's enough!" I slam both my hands on the table in front of me and the students quiet down. "This isn't Hogsmeade or the playground! I demand some silence!"

I have to admit, I'm pissed. I haven't slept well in weeks and this 'memory' thing is killing me. I can't stop thinking about losing my memory, and my crappy mood is contagious. Every student here is talking as loud as they can and exchanging insults back and forth.

"I know I'm not being easy with you guys but that's because of personal reasons. I'm trying my best to teach you and this is how you act?"

No one dares to meet my eyes. This class is specially hard, every sixth year Slytherin sits in front of me, their heads down in shame. Draco is the only one who's looking out of the window, a sad look on his face. I send everyone a warning glance before continuing.

"As you know, it's very easy to use Unforgivable Curses. Look at me! I'm one of those people who run around shooting them at strangers all the time." Some laugh at my joke. "It's one of my favorite hobbies."

The whole class laughs at this one. What can I say, I'm amazing. Draco glances at me and focuses on me for the rest of the class. I end it with a small smile and a polite nod as the students wrote down their homework and leave as fast as they can. Lunch is always their favorite time of the day. Because they don't have to listen to torturous news and speeches about death and how my brother is awful.

One students stays behind. As usual, Draco waits for me to finish my chores and walks me to the Great Hall or something. He normally talks to me the whole time but not today. He just stares at me and closes his hands tightly around a piece of paper.

Tired of his shit, I turn to face him and cross my arms in front of my chest. My blonde hair falls to my face and I quickly wipe it away.

"Is there anything you need?"

Draco doesn't answer. He shakes his head and starts leaving. I watch him as he walks to the door, facing new me one more time before leaving.

"No, Professor." His shaky voice brings back memories and I politely smile, not letting him see the way he affects me.

He closes the door and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. this boy will be the death of me. I turn back to my papers, reading the assignments the first years did. Some are good but there are some awful ones. A girl, Melissa, wrote about her pet, Bongo, a ten year old dog that's dying. Bobby wrote about his diseased mother.

And I asked them to write an essay about evil creatures. Talk about fertile imagination.

There's a small knock on the window next to my desk and I quickly open it to reveal a small brown owl. It doesn't belong to Hogwarts. They forbade any kind of contact with the exterior so owls don't usually fly around here. It has a letter attached to its paw and I grab it before the owl can leave. I give it a small treat and it flies away.

I inspect the letter, expecting the worse: a bomb. Yes, I'm not the most famous teacher here and the other Death Eaters have me by the neck. They don't like the way I'm teaching the students and the fact that Amycus lost his job because of me.

He was away for weeks and Severus gave me his spot as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. It's a good thing he left to search for my brother or I wouldn't be able to look out for my friends. Pansy and Blaise are fine, besides the small fights behind the Astronomy Tower. Draco is very mysterious now, always writing stuff on his books and spying on me and Severus. Ginny, Neville and the other Gryffindors... They're punished every day...

I sigh, leaving against the window frame. It's time to open the letter, right? It could be something important. My shaky fingers manage to open the letter and I read the first words that catches my eyes.

Dear Lilith.

Is this a prank? No one besides McGonagall and Severus know. Amycus is away again, his sister is gone with the flu and the other Death Eaters are busy with their missions. It's either from Voldemort, Severus or McGonagall. The others wouldn't know where to find me.

Dear Lilith,

I know I'm the last person you want to hear from but I wanted to let you know I'm fine. We're hiding and we'll be gone for a few more months. Keep doing what you're doing, we'll be there soon to free you.

Hermione, Ron and I got into an argument and Ron kinda left. But it's okay, we'll find him soon, he can't be that far because he as injured. Okay, this came out wrong. He's fine.

We found some clues and are almost done with out mission. There are a few Horcruxes left but we have this locket that makes people do and say bad things when they have it on. We're keeping it close but with caution.

I'll contact you soon, with more details.

I miss you, sis

Ps: keep this letter to yourself. And don't answer. It's too dangerous.

I gasp. Why would Harry send me a letter? Is he crazy? He could gat caught and it would be because of me! I fold it and hide it inside my closet, putting a protection spell on it. I know I can't let anyone find out about this. But there's a way to contact my brother.

Potterwatch.

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

After dinner, I find Lee Jordan and his friends running up the stairs. I stop them, calling out for them. Lee stops and glares at me.

"Yes, Professor?"

"Don't call me that, I'm your age, Lee. And it makes me feel old so stop it." I smile. "I need your help."

"I'm sorry Professor, but my friends and I have to finish an assignment and the library is right there, waiting for us."

It takes me a lot of strength not to laugh.

"I know too well what you're about to do." His face falls and he starts sweating under my gaze. "And I'm in."

He looks at me, dumbfounded. His friends back away from me and Lee's about to do the same when I grab his arm and look him in the eye.

"Please, Lee. I need your help." I let my real voice slip and his eyes widen.

"Li-"

"Not here."

He takes my hand and drags me behind him and his friends. They share a look before leaving Lee and I alone. He takes a deep breath and covers my eyes with his hands.

"What ar-"

"Safety first. If this is a trap, you're dead." He hisses under his breath and I sigh.

I have to do what he says if I want to contact my brother. At least send him a message, just like he did to me. I turn back to my normal self and hear Lee's gasp. He pushes me forward and closes a small door behind us. We're inside one of the unused classrooms.

"It's almost time for today's broadcast. Be ready to talk." I nod at his words. "I'll ask you some questions and then I'll let you send Harry a message. I know he's listening."

I feel the tears behind my closed eyelids. I can't cry now. But the fact that my brother will hear me for the first time in months...

Lee shakes my shoulders and shows me a small box where he keeps the equipment.

"Two minutes left. You need a code name, so only those who really know you realize it's you."

I nod thinking about numerous names but none of them are good enough. Potter is definitely not a choice, it would be too risky; Lil isn't good either, everyone called me that; Jamie... No, I hate my middle name.

What about... No it's too risky. But it would make them understand who I am.

"What about Lily?" I ask.

Lee smiles and nods as he prepares the equipment and sits back to start the broadcast. He shows me his fingers, telling me we have ten seconds before he starts. I nod and wait.

Lee presses a button and starts talking.

"Greetings to all of our listeners. I have exciting news! We have a new guest today! She's a very important person and you'll enjoy what she has to say. How are you today, Lily?"

"Amazing, I'm so happy to finally be here."

"I think I can speak for everyone else. Where were you all this time?"

"I have been trying to protect my friends and help my school." I give him a look and he stops asking me questions.

"We start today's broadcast with some sad news. We regret to inform you that the remains of Bathilda Bagshot have been discovered in Godric's Hollow. The evidence is that despite sightings of her out walking in Godric's Hollow, Bathilda died several months ago. The Order of the Phoenix informs us that her body showed unmistakable signs of injury inflicted by Dark Magic. There was also evidence of a recent battle in her home, and the building next door."

I take a deep breath, realizing that my brother was there. Yes, I can feel it, he was there during the said fight. I hope he's not hurt.

"And, has the Wizarding Wireless Network News reported any of this? No." He slams his hands on the desk. "Sadly, these aren't the only deaths that the News Network and Daily Prophet didn't think important enough to mention. It is with great regret that we inform our listeners of the murder of Ted Tonks and Dirk Cresswell. A goblin by the name of Gornuk was also killed. It is believed that Muggle-born Dean Thomas and a second goblin, both believed to be travelling with Tonks, Cresswell, and Gornuk, may have escaped."

A tear escapes my eye as I hear Dean's name being said. We never talked but the fact that a Gryffindor died, and that we could be next... Terrifies me.

"If Dean is listening, your parents and sisters are pretty desperate for news. My guest, Lily, wants to say something before we finish, right?"

I nod, but soon realize no one but Lee can see it. I grab hold of the small box and smile as I remember the words I'm about to say.

"Hey, it's me. I know most of you are probably wondering who I am but don't worry, I'm a friend. And I have a message for a special friend. I got your letter. I hope you're really alright and I miss you. Be safe and don't get yourself killed, okay?" I wipe away the tears that fell and smile. "I miss you, bro."

I give the box to Lee and be eyes me win sadness and understanding.

"We have to go off the air now, but as we do, we ask you to take a moment's silence, in memory of those who have fallen. And I hope Lily's 'special friend' heard her." Lee says. "Be safe."

He clears up the desk and places his hands on my shoulders.

"That was very brave, you know? Your brother was listening, I'm sure. And now you both know the other is alright. Go back to your room, I have to find Ginny and Neville."

"Wait, you're telling them, are you?"

Lee looks down at his feet and helps me up too.

"I kinda have to. They deserve to know you're here to help us."

I don't want anyone to find out. What if they end up being punished because of it? It would be my fault and I can't carry that weight on my shoulders.

"It'll be alright. Come on, let's go before they find us." Lee encourages me. "You better change back."

I nod and feel my body shake as it changes forms. My hair turns blonde again and my face hurts as my cheeks lift and my eyes slowly grow bigger. It's a little painful but it's worth it.

I run back to my room and find two more letters sitting on my desk. Weird, everyone is sending me letters today.

I open the first one and find Bellatrix's exquisite handwriting all over the sheet. Something about my brother trashing her vault in Gringotts. Oh, please! I burn it and grab the second one. It burns my hand as I touch it, and I hiss as the burn appears on my skin.

"Shit."

I wave my wand around and ice appears in front of me. I grab it and press it against my finger. I carefully open it, this time using magic. This one is moe serious than the previous one.

It's from the Dark Lord himself, and I don't think I can call this a letter. It's more of a warning.

Potter, be ready to travel and visit the Manor. Soon.

Probably because of my brother's whereabouts. I bang my head against the wall and don't hear the door opening and closing softly. I let the tears fall down my face and feel my blonde armor fade, as I become Lilith Potter once again.

I sniff and turn to my bedroom door when a gasp comes from behind me.

I spin around, shouting at the stranger, wand ready for a fight. But the other person doesn't want to fight.

The boy stares at me, the moonlight hitting his grayish eyes as he opens and closes his mouth.

Before I can mutter a word, he lifts his hands and grasps my face.

"Lilith?"

"Draco."
