Chapter 60

R.A.B

Snape's POV

I hadn't heard from my child in almost a month. It was so hard for me to concentrate on anything without thinking about her. Wondering if she was alright. Had she found Draco yet? Had they found any of the Horcruxes? I leaned against the wall and looked out the window.

"Please, please be safe. Don't do anything foolish." I whispered.

The second I turned away I heard a tap on the window. An owl was there with a letter.

Found D. All safe.

Weasel

I sighed in relief. I was right to hide Draco there, Potter did exactly as I predicted.

Lily's POV

I wished I could tell my father more, but I couldn't risk it.

"Hey up here!"

We all went upstairs and found Harry in front of a bedroom door. It was the initials on the door that caught my attention.

"R.A.B. Reginald Arcturus Black." Hermione said.

"Sirius' brother?" Ron asked.

I looked at Harry. We searched the room but could find nothing that would help us. We all sat down in the kitchen and after a while, we heard something in the closet. Draco slowly moved in front of me. Harry moved towards the door and threw it open. It was Kreacher.

"You've been spying have you!?"

"Kreacher has been watching."

I moved around Draco. Kreacher looked at me.

"Snape."

Harry looked at me and I nodded once. I picked up the locket and looked at it.

"You know what this is, don't you Kreacher?" I asked.

Harry took the locket and held it up. Kreacher backed away.

"Have you seen this before?"

"It's master Regulus' locket."

"There were two. Where's the other one?" I asked.

He didn't say anything. I knelt down.

"You listen to me, my entire family is falling apart. You're going to tell us what you know."

Harry moved in front of it.

"Tell us."

"Kreacher doesn't know where the other locket is."

"But it was here, in this house?" Hermione asked.

"Mudblood!"

I slapped him.

"Don't call her that!"

"At least I'm not the only one she slaps for that." Draco muttered.

"Yes. It was here in this house, a most evil object."

"How do you mean?" Harry asked.

"Before master Regulus died, he ordered Kreacher to destroy it. But no matter how Kreacher tried nothing worked."

He looked down, ashamed.

"It wasn't your fault, Kreacher. You tried and you served your master well."

The elf looked at me, I swore I saw gratitude in his eyes.

"Well where is it now?" Draco asked.

"He came in the night. He took many things including the locket."

I had a bad feeling about where this was going.

"Who?" I asked.

He looked at me but said nothing.

"Who was it Kreacher?" Harry asked.

"Mundungus. Mundungus Fletcher."

I balled my hands into fists and started to shake.

"Uh… you alright Lily?" Ron asked.

I looked at Harry and he nodded.

"Find him." He ordered.

Kreacher was gone with a snap and Draco put his hands on my arms.

"You alright, love?"

"I'm gonna hit him. You better not try and stop me. Any of you."

They either nodded or held up their hands. I took a deep breath and left the room. Harry came and found me.

"Hey."

He sat down next to me and I pulled my knees up to my chest.

"If you want to hit him no one will stop you."

I smirked.

"I miss my father, Harry. I miss the way things used to be."

He put his arm around my shoulders.

"It will be again. I promise."

I laid my head against his shoulder.

"I really wish I could believe you right now." I whispered.
