Most of the morning had been a blur, or some sort of distant, twisted nightmare. She'd been chatting with her grandmother, and then the world had been exploding, and then there'd been pain, and her grandmother's ... boyfriend had been pulling metal out of her middle and feeding her potions. There'd been a witch she hadn't recognized, and her mother, and then she was pretty sure she'd passed out or fallen asleep or something ...

... but the next thing she lucidly recalled was being snuggled in her bed in her room. Her stomach hurt like she'd been punched with something sharp, and she hiked up her shirt to peer curiously down at it. She couldn't even really see anything, but she thought there did seem to be something different about her skin in the sore area. Like it was newer. Which made sense if she'd really been healed like that.

Glancing to her bedside table, she saw a few notes and small packages, and she groaned because she didn't have her journal so she couldn't even write to anyone at school. But maybe Jamie still had his and she could borrow it to at least update people on her situation. Condition. Whichever.

Lily closed her eyes and snapped them back open just as quick. When she closed her eyes, she saw ... things. Blood and her grandmother with a piece of a building or pipe or something lodged in her leg, bloody coats and bloody water, and she could remember the pain when she'd had the metal yanked out of her.

It occurred to her vaguely, abstractly, that she'd almost died. That she could have died. That if her grandmother hadn't taken her to Snape, that if he hadn't known what he was doing and done it all so quickly, she could be dead. Lily reached out for her stuffed Hippogriff, the one she'd had since she was three, and she held it against her chest as she closed her eyes.

Unsure who was home, she licked her lips. "Daddy? Jamie?" She supposed her mum was home too, and if no one responded to her first call, she'd try for her mother.

Harry shook his head regretfully, "So far we don't know much. We caught a few names that I recognized, but none of the really big players. Last I heard, they didn't have much information about who, exactly, was behind it, but maybe we'll know more tomorrow."

He pulled a chair closer to her bedside and settled into it. "I think it'd be nice if you sent Sn... Mr. Snape an owl," he agreed with a little grin. "I'll probably send him one too."

Reaching over to squeeze her hand, he nodded, "Of course. I'm not going anywhere."

"Be nice if you could get it all figured out," she murmured. "I'll send him one tomorrow," she decided. It was getting harder and harder to fight the pull of sleep.

Settling into her bed, shifting until she was comfortable, Lily exhaled softly. "Goodnight, daddy. I love you."

She realized, too, that if things had gone differently earlier ... she might not be here to say that to him, and she squeezed his hand before she sighed and relaxed and let sleep claim her.
