Years Later:
Hermione cried, and Draco held onto her tight as the letter fell to the ground. "Mum? Mum you ok?" asked a Blonde haired boy as he walked into the kitchen. "Christian. Leave for just a moment." Draco said. "'Mione. We have to go see him." he said.

Harry and Ginny had been rushed to the burrow. The entire family was standing in the kitchen, Percy, Mr. & Mrs Weasley, Fred, George, his girlfriend Sydney, Bill, Fleur and their twin girl and boy, Ginny, Harry, and their orangish-haired daughter.
Mrs. Wesley was sitting on the bench crying. Ginny was sitting next to her, arms drape over her mom's sholders. Ginny was trying to hold back tears.

Draco, Hermione, Christian, and surprisingly, a very mature looking Salem, Neville, and teen Marie walked into the kitchen. Hermione ran to Mrs. Weasley, hugging her and Ginny tightly. Draco held onto Christian's shoulders, and Christian looked over to see Marie, and she winked at him. "Dad?" Christian said, but Draco hushed him.

Ginny held onto Hermione for a moment, and then collected her daughter in her arms.
Harry looked around at his friends, "Anyone get in touch with Katie?" He asked severly. She, almost more than anyone, needed to know about Ron. "I wrote earlier, she hasn't responded." Ginny says, still holding onto her fifteen year old daughter, Lilly.

Salem slowly walked over, and kneeled at Mrs. Weasley's feet. "I, and my family, and clan, offer my deepest condolences, Molly." she said. Neville nodded, and Draco looked over to see bite marks in his neck, and gasped. Neville looked over at Draco and smiled, not noticing his discomfort. "Hey mate!" he said softly. Marie walked over, and gave her hand to Christian. "Marie Longbottom." she said, expecting him to bite it, like she was used to.

"Mum!" Lily whined, trying to wriggle out of Ginny's grasp. Ginny set her down on her feet and she approached Christian and Marie. She waited for their introductions to be over, and smiled up at them. Lily noticed she was shorter than the two, so she assumed she was a little younger. "Hi," she says quietly, "Lilly Potter."

Marie lookled at the girl. "Marie Longbottom. Royal Blood. First Class." she said, and held out her hand. "Well, arn't you going to bite it?" she said, and looked at Christian. "As others were so rude not to."
Neville looked at Draco. "We've been living in Salem's vampire colony since she was young. She's so used to things." he chuckled. "You and Hermione raised a fine boy." Neville said, and Draco nodded. "Yes. And Marie has grown into quite the young lady." he replied.

Lily looked at Christian for a moment, feeling a little uneasy. She tried to remember if she saw them at school. "You guys go to Hogwarts?" She questioned, glancing backwards at her father approaching Neville and Malfoy.

Marie nodded. "Slytherin." and Christian replied with a ditto. "And you are? Hufflepuff I presume?" she said.

Lily shook her head no. "Gryffindor, actually. I know, I sure don't act like one, I was convinced I was going to be in Hufflepuff." Lily says.
Harry sighed, "At least the kids are getting along." He says.

Marie smiled, and looked back at Christian. She held out her hand, and nudged it towards his mouth. "Will you, please?" she said. Christian looked back at his father, and grimaced. Draco just shrugged back. "It's harmless Christian." said Neville, who Draco had noticed grew small fangs. Christian took her hand, and bit softly down. She smiled. "It doesn't hurt. Harder." she said, and Christian bit down hard, breaking the skin. He gasped, and spit out her hand, spitting on the ground. "God!" he said, and looked at Marie. Her hand was already healed.
Hermione looked at the kids. "Salem. Does Neville have fangs?" she whispered, and Salem smiled. "Yes."

Lily stepped backwards as Christian spit, and she looked over at the men, making a face. Harry chuckled a bit.

Marie smiled, and held her hand to Draco. "Pleasure to meet you sir." she said, smiling. Neville chuckled as Draco grimaced. "Must I?" he said. Marie nodded. Draco bit Marie's hand, and his reaction was the same as his sons. Hermione finally stood. "You two are so rude. You'r supposed to swallow the blood." she said.

Lily exchanged glances with Christian.
"Bloody spit, all over my floors!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, pulling the mop out of their closet, tapping it with her wand and watching it as it cleaned it up.

Salem apologized to Molly. "I am so sorry, for my daughter incredulous actions." she said, and gave Marie a glare. She smirked back, and sat down. "So, what are we here for anyway?" she asked.

"My uncle got in an accident at his game this morning. He fell off his broom and we just came her to get organized before we went over." Lily says, kicking her feet on the floor, not meeting her dad's look.

Marie frowned. "I'm sorry. Is he alright?" she asked.
Hermione walked back over to Draco and Christian, who were still extremely grossed out. "Behave, you two." she whispered, and Draco held her hand.

Lily shrugged, "We haven't heard anything, but he fell pretty hard off his broom. We were all there, just standing up there." Lily says. She hears her little cousins crying from the kitchen on Bill's and Fleur's laps. She smiled.

Marie looked at them all. "I apologize." she said.
Hermione looked at Ginny. "When can we see him? And Katie never responded?" she asked.

Bill handed one of the babies to Lily as he darted upstairs. He whispered "Washroom break." into her ear and she laughed. Lily held onto her little cousin Rupert, and bounced him gently in her arms, she mumbled something into the baby's ear.
Ginny watched her daughter. "We were just waiting for everyone to get together, so we can go in a group. And Katie never wrote back. She's the first person I wrote out to." Ginny says, shrugging, "Everyone get ready to go, as soon as Bill comes down we'll go." She called.

Hermione made sure Draco and Ron looked presentable, and looked over at Salem. She was crying. Neville was trying to console her, but it didn't work.

Ginny put a hand on Salem's sholders.
Bill finally comes downstairs, and the Weasleys start heading towards the Fireplace. "We have to go this way, cause St. Mungo's is apparation-free, and I don't want to chance it with the little ones." Mrs. Weasley says. Lily hands Rupert back to Bill as Harry guids her into the fireplace. "Dad, I can definitely do this by myself." Lily says impatiently. "St. Mungo's!" Harry says, ignoring his daughter. Ginny goes next.

The rest followed, Salem's shoulders shaking terribly.

Lily holds her arms tight into her chest as they walk along the corridor. Mr. Weasley goes to talk to the front desk lady, and comes back; "Ron's in room 91." He says, taking Molly's hand.
They walk along the hall and stop at Ron's room. Lily pushes herself through the crowd to the large, picture window and peers inside at her godfather/uncle. Molly dashes inside and runs to her son. Ginny presses her head against Harry.

Hermione made her way into the room, and she couldn't help but cry out. Ron looked terrible, hardly like him. Hermione buried her face into Draco's chest, crying. She couldn't help it.

Lily didn't move from her spot, she was staring at Ron, watching her nana and Hermione fuss over him, and trying really hard no to cry herself. She heard someone behind her, sniffling and glanced back, her mom and dad were both holding each other and crying. They slowly went into the room and left Lily with her uncles, Christian and Marie. Lily turned back so noone else saw her crying.

Marie looked at Lily. "It is ok to cry." she said. "I watch my people die all the time. Crying is normal." she said.

Lily smiled over at Marie and turned her back on the window, "It's scary. Uncle Ron hit the ground really hard, his head flew backwards..." Lily paused, drawing in a big breath, looking at Percy, Bill, Fleur, Fred, George and Sydney. Fred came over and playfully patted her on the head, "How are you holding up, squirt?" Fred said, laughing at the face she made back at him. "That well, huh?" He answered sarcasticly. Lily rolled her eyes but held onto her uncle, even though she only came up about hip level. Fred patted her back.

Marie frowned. "I am sorry. I wouldn't know the pain. I do not know my people as well as you." she said.

"You don't know your family?" Lily asked, bewilldered. She couldn't believe someone not being as close to their family as she was.
They saw an owl flying rapidly into the room, and Harry caught the letter and read it.
'I just got your letter. I'm coming. Give me ten minutes!' Katie had wrote hurriedly.
