“No.” Dylan handed it over to Lily when she sat beside him. He initially opened his mouth to say Hugo did know exactly what he was doing, since they’d done a pretty good job running a secret, underground rebellion army the last few years, but knowing he and Lily were still on opposing sides, he didn’t make a comment about it. “Okay. Whatever. Rephrase,” Dylan said instead. “One of us has a nine month old and a husband who will kill them twelve ways into the next century if they attempt to get themselves killed again. So, point still stands.” He took the note back from Lily and flipped it over, scanning it to make sure they didn’t miss anything. “We’re not being stupid about this. And we can’t tell anyone. Because if it gets back to our brothers, you know we’ll be fucked and have trackers in us the next day.”

Lily noticed that Dylan almost made a comment to oppose what she’d said about her cousin and had stopped. Which was for the best considering they didn’t need to get into another pointless argument about who meant what and blah blah blah. “Oh I won’t just have a tracker- I’m fairly positive that I would be locked away in some basement or a tower like fricken- Rapunzel.” She agreed, just imagining how pissed her family would be at her. Especially her since her dad had only recently narrowly escaped death and hadn’t even been looking for trouble at the time. “So now that we’ve made that clear- what’s our first step? Going to the location now is more then likely pointless. But do you think Jaspers mum would know anything about who sent the letter? Or at least when it got sent?”

“Okay. Ouch.” Harry looked up at her as if actually wounded by that statement. “Apparently I do, thank you.” He smirked and slid his arm around Lily, keeping her against his side for a moment. “I think she threatened him,” he said, truthfully. “He’s also terrified of Draco.” He kissed her cheek and let go, moving to go sit at the table instead. “And I know this goes without saying, but all of this stays within us, Cassie, your brother, etcetera. Only.” Harry shook his head. "You know the press would go crazy with this. I already told him I’m not being outed with some unflattering, blurry paparazzi picture. I don’t want to be outed by an anonymous source either.” He paused and looked at her. “And I don’t want you kids being dragged through it.”

Lily laughed loudly, not surprised at all by either fact. Though she’d been around the Malfoy family enough to know that there wasn’t any real reason to be scared of Draco, at least not anymore. Or maybe she was just fearless in that regard. “Of course I won’t say anything to anyone you haven’t already told. Which seems to be quite a few people but at least it’s all family.” She smirked, letting it fade into a soft smile. “I’m happy that you’re happy.”

She smirked. “Probably.”  Cassie nodded for her to follow her to the ballroom. “And Hugo and my grandmother are getting way too excessive with this.” She looked around at the little princess tents and decorations in the room, before turning back to look at her best friend. “So,” Cassie started, albeit a little cautiously. Having had parents who went through a divorce herself, she knew it was a touchy subject. “I’m guessing you know now?”

Lily looked around, nodding in agreement. “So...” She let out a sigh, looking back at Cassie. “Oh yeah I know. Had to use every ounce of self control not to freak out or pass out.” 

[lils-pctter]

dr-parkinsonxrowle​:

“Right,” he started. “And I get that and I’m not undermining any of what you went through, but you have to understand why none of this,” Dylan nodded to the pictures he was still mostly avoiding looking at, “is easy for me.” He didn’t immediately answer her next question. “I don’t know,” he eventually said, taking the letter she handed him. Dylan was going to refuse it, but he knew avoiding all of this like he had been was going to make it worse. “I never met my father. Jasper didn’t either, so something was bad enough to keep us both from him. I do know our grandfather was in Voldemort’s inner circle and our grandmother doesn’t talk much about either of them, so something fucked up happened somewhere.” Dylan looked over the letter. “It’s not her handwriting. Someone just wrote down a location.” He paused, blood running cold when it hit him. “It’s where we were that night.” Dylan sighed and continued, “Okay, I know myself enough to know I’m going to follow you on your Nancy Drew mission, but we’re not just running into this without knowing what we’re doing. Because last time I did that, me and your cousin got halfway trampled by a zoo.”

Lily decided to just let it drop as this argument was not the hill she was willing to die on. Not today at least. Instead she focused in on what he said about his dad. It certainly made her appreciate her family. Even though they were going through some things right now, it certainly could have been worse. She tried not to let any of the empathy show on her face, but she was sure it did. “Does it say anything else?” She said, moving to be next to him and trying to look. Already her mind was racing on what to do next. Rolling her eyes at his comment she smirked, “Oh please! I love Hugo but he’s a bit of a wild card. I’ve been watching my dad and brother solve mysteries my entire life, it’s in my blood.” 

[lils-pctter]

dr-parkinsonxrowle​:

Dylan looked at her, brow raised. “Did I hit a nerve, darling?” He tilted his head to the side and pouted, before rolling his eyes. “Bring it down a notch, princess. I never said that. Stop being defensive and putting words in my mouth. Because seriously, if you want the trauma of seeing someone you love die in front of you and then not be expected to make it out of the hospital alive yourself, be my guest and take it.” He watched her sort through the papers, getting his temper back in check. It wasn’t going to get them anywhere. “I don’t know. If I make this about me again, will I get my head bitten off?” Dylan deadpanned, looking back at her. He eventually let out a breath and shook his head. “My brother’s wife was killed the year before. They said it was a car accident, but he found out it was Death Eaters. Kinda weird coincidence same thing happened to me a few months later.” He shrugged. “Could be me just being paranoid I guess, but with our father being who he is, I always wondered if whoever it was thought Jasper was in the car with her.” He nodded at the pictures. “And then Abigail was with me.”

Lily huffed. “Look- I’ll admit I’ve never been through what you have but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had people try.” She could admit that much, but she also wasn’t just going to gloss over what she’s been through because he went through something terrible. The girl waved her hand to signal he could continue. Though she made know promises not to snap again. “So you think Death Eaters are after you two because of your dad? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised but would they be after you because you’re not a Death Eater like him?” She asked trying to get the full picture. 

As she asked this, she continued to sort through the various papers in the boxed looking for anything relevant. It wasn’t long until she came across something that looked like a letter. “Check what this is. I don’t want to open it and it be something that’s not my business.” 

[lils-pctter]

dr-parkinsonxrowle​:

“You might know what it feels like to be theoretically targeted, but you don’t know what it’s like to have a Death Eater’s wand in your face and an Unforgivable cast your way. Besides. I’d be a little more worried, given how you spend your free time,” Dylan added, giving her a look as he walked past her to sit. “Don’t think I forgot about that.” Considering how they were usually at each other’s throats, there really wasn’t that much heat behind his words, despite them both knowing damn well they were on opposing sides. “But in your defense, I don’t think she was the target.” Dylan let out a breath and picked up one of the pictures, looking at it for a split second, before setting it aside. “Your last name and parentage might not be the target this time.”

She shot a dirty look right back at him, any thoughts of being cordial thrown out the window. “Oh yes! I forgot you knew every single detail of my perfect little life! I’ve never been in any sort of real danger- you know I bet that I’m actually making it all up to get attention.” Lily spat at him, having to pause her search for a moment. The girl took a few breaths before she started sorting through some papers. His words caught her attention and she had to pause once again. “What do you mean she wasn’t the target?” 

[lils-pctter]

cmvlfoy​:

“Hi,” Cassie said as she opened the door, letting Lily into the Manor since that’s where Ilsa’s birthday sleepover was going to be. “Welcome to hell,” she breathed and shut it behind her. “I love how Voldemort legit lived here once and now there’s a dozen princess tents set up in the ballroom. I think she broke Lucius Malfoy.”

// @lils-pctter​​

“Oh I’m pretty sure you’re the one who broke him- but she definitely put the nail in the coffin.” She laughed, making her way inside and looking at the progress. “Where’s the rest of the decorations that need to be put up?” 

[lils-pctter]

h-pctter​:

“Why are you so scandalized by me dating people?” Harry looked up at his daughter, smirking a little. “Just the two.” Harry pulled a slight face, realizing he’d just made his son’s family tree even more screwed up. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Lil,” he teased. “I’m serious about us, but we’re not walking down the aisle tomorrow.”  He picked up his drink and looked at her for a moment. “Thank you for being understanding. I know it isn’t easy for you. Or your brother. But I appreciate you two being as okay as you can be.” He leaned over and kissed the side of her head. “I just wanted to make sure you heard everything from me this time. I knew I had two days tops before Cassie got to you.”

“Because you do not have that much game.” She told him. Lily was surprised enough that he’d landed their mum, let alone anyone else. “Oh I’m definitely going to get drunk with Teddy later- I’m sure we could both use it.” The girl gave her dad a small side hug, sighing loudly. “And I’m definitely going to yell at Cassie for not texting me the moment she found out. And how did Hugo keep it quiet? I think that’s probably the most surprising part.” 

[lils-pctter]

Dylan rolled his eyes, though he was strongly considered leaving. All of this was still too fresh in his mind and he was starting to realize he really hadn’t processed it as well as he thought. “I know you’re not. I’m just saying,” he said, pointedly not looking at any of the photos Lily was going through. He’d done a pretty good job of avoiding looking at any the past few years.  “It’s not the pictures, just in general. It was a targeted thing. You probably don’t want to make it known you’re poking around so much just in case.”

Lily had noticed that he was looking the other way but she wasn’t about to open up that can of worms. She knew she’d already pushed him way past his comfort zone and was lucky he was tolerating her for once. “Oh yes- because I have no idea what it feels like to be targeted.” The red head couldn’t help but to roll her eyes. “Look, people are always going to ask questions about shit they shouldn’t and try to get in my business. At this point I know how to cover my tracks and even if something does get out, I trust my dad and Teddy to help take care of it.”

😶 @lils-pctter​

“I know you’re just trying to learn about the sister you didn’t know you had,” he stopped her, mid-whatever she was about to continue with, “but you might want to scale it back a notch.” Dylan looked at her. “For the mental sanity of my brother. And you’re also going to hit stuff you don’t want.”

Lily paused for a moment. “You can leave if you’d like.” She said before resuming. She was currently going through a few boxes. “I’m just looking for some photos- it’s not like I’m going to break anything.” 

[lils-pctter]

h-pctter​:

Harry was about to say something. What he didn’t know, but Lily eventually caught up to what he was saying. He let out a breath. “I guess we’re talking about this, huh. Okay, then.” Harry pushed himself off his desk and nodded to the door. “Let’s get it to-go and we’ll go talk at home.” It would give Lily and him more time to talk in private and less of a chance for someone to overhear them, lest any of this hit the papers before he or Draco wanted it to. Harry let Lily choose where to go and a little while later, they were at his place. “To answer what you said earlier,” Harry started, letting her get the food out while he got glasses for their drinks. “Only speaking for myself, as far as liking guys, it’s only him. So I’ve just avoided putting a label on it, lest his head get bigger than it already is,” he rolled his eyes and sat Lily’s drink in front of her, keeping his in hand. “It didn’t happen suddenly, though. I told you there were a few years between me leaving after the war and getting back together with your mum? We were together there for a second. Also something no one knew about, so my track record on keeping secrets is great.” He raised his glass to his lips and nodded as he brought it down. “Your brother does know, though. Well, found out. Because I forgot that he goes to Malfoy Manor during the holidays. I think I broke him.”

Obviously they were going to talk about it, it wasn’t just something that she was going to gloss over. “Alright.” She agreed. His home would definitely be a more comfortable place to talk. Once they’d gotten to the house, she began to set the food out on the table for them. “Yeah he definitely doesn’t need that ego boost.” Lily chuckled. Finally she sat down and began picking at her food while he talked. “How many people did you go out with?!” She asked in shock. He went out with Draco and even had a secret child all in a few years. Just what else was she missing? “Yeah I mean the Malfoys are also his family. I was always so jealous of that when we were kids- mostly because it seemed like he would get more presents because of it. But I guess now they might also be my family some day.”

Jasper knew already that there was no way he could get rid of the redhead right now. In all honesty, he understood where she was coming from - if he had found out he had a sister, he’d have wanted to get to know more about her as well. But talking about Abigail was still a touchy subject, given how badly her story had ended. “Well,” he sighed and looked at Lily. “You would have gotten along… eventually,” he started. “She was a Slytherin like our mum, she was stubborn as hell, she could charm the pants off her professors to get away from trouble. Slightly overdramatic as well,” he added with a small smile. He pulled his phone up and opened the photo album, scrolling all the way up to find a picture from five years prior - a picture he took of Abigail and his daughter at Disney. “She was a great aunt to my Ava. She had her wrapped around her pinky,” Jasper mused as he handed Lily the phone. “It was the last photo of them. She was gone two weeks later…” he paused for a second, not wanting to go back to those memories. “is there anything else you’d like to know, Lily?”

She couldn’t help but to raise her eyebrow at the eventually part. Though if Abigail was anything like her brothers then she knew exactly what he meant. “Sounds like my kinda gal.” Lily smiled. She waited in anticipation as he scrolled on his phone, leaning forward to take it from his hands gently. Sitting there, she stared, zooming in for a bit. “Can I have a few photos?”

[lils-pctter]

h-pctter​:

Harry hesitated for a second. Once he told her there was no going back, but he owed that much to Draco. And Lily, because now that Draco’s daughter – and Hugo – knew, he knew it was only a matter of time before it got back to her by someone that wasn’t him. “Uh,” he started, sitting back a little more so he could look at her. Harry shrugged and let out a breath. “Cassie’s dad.”

“Cassie’s dad.....” She repeated, her brain processing. “Draco Malfoy?” Lily said, more in shock of who it was then the gender of the person. She really couldn’t care less about that considering she herself was bisexual. But the fact that it was Draco. “Cassie’s my best friend! I also didn’t realize either of you two liked men- though that doesn’t really matter here.” She rambled. “I know you two became friends after leaving school but isn’t it weird to suddenly be more than that? And like I said- that’s my best friends dad! Oh my God does Teddy know?” 

[lils-pctter]

h-pctter​:

Harry worried his lip, the look on her face feeling like a punch in the gut. “I know, sweetie.” He gave her a small smile and got up from his desk so he could pull her in his arms. Harry kissed the top of her head and held her there for a moment. “I wish I could have said something else, but… I don’t know. I just don’t think I can make this better.” Harry paused. “And I don’t want you to find out anything not from me.” He sighed and let her go, sitting back on his desk. “It didn’t start until after, so it’s not like that. We didn’t plan it. But I’m seeing someone else.”

Lily couldn’t help but to widen her eyes in shock hearing that he had someone else already, especially considering he was swearing that it didn’t start before. But he said that it didn’t so she believed him. “Who is it?” Her mind going through all the different possibilities. 

[lils-pctter]

dr-parkinsonxrowle​:

Dylan sighed. “Lily,” he started, stopping her. “It’s fine. Well, it’s not, but you didn’t know, so it’s not your fault. I didn’t know Jasper was my brother until I was in school. If I’d been in your situation, I’d probably want the same.” Dylan nodded for her to sit back down. “He could tell you more than me, seeing as he actually grew up with her. I don’t know how much he’ll tell you, though. He hasn’t talked about her a lot since then.” He paused for a second. “She was a lot like your dad, actually. It makes sense.”

She sighed and sat back down. Lily was a little surprised to hear that she was similar to her dad, but then again apparently her dad and grandfather were similar and Harry didn’t even remember him. “So extremely sarcastic and hard-headed?” She chuckled. “If you two got along then she probably wasn’t anything like me.”

♕ — Rose looked up from the luggage she was unpacking to see her cousin making her way into her flat unannounced. Rose chuckled and dropped one of her jumpers down on her bed. “As long as you come bearing gifts.”

“Of course.” She grinned, holding out the gift bag she’d been holding. “And if you don’t love it, I can get you something different.” Lily told her. “But I don’t think that’ll happen.” 

[lils-pctter]

h-pctter​:

He shook his head and put what he was working on away. “I wouldn’t expect anything less, sweetheart.” Harry glanced up with a smirk, but it soon faded a little. He knew he should probably tell her before they left, while they were in the privacy of his office. “Can we talk first, sweetheart? I want to tell you something before we leave.” Having gone to get his coat, Harry draped it over his desk and sat on the edge of it so he was in front of her. “Your mother and I talked,” he said, pausing for a moment. “We’re staying separated, Lily.” Harry sighed. “We’ve been together since we were 15, give or take, and I don’t think we ever really had a chance to be ourselves apart from who we are together.” He reached out to take her hands. “I know that’s not what you wanted to hear.”

Lily nodded, taking a step inside the room and closing the door behind her. She wasn’t too surprised by what he had to say but she couldn’t help but look disappointed. Afterall, her parents were separating after being together for around 30 years. “It’s not but I had a feeling.” The girl sighed, taking a moment to walk up to her father and give him a hug. “I just want you guys to be happy.”
