"What –" Lucius Malfoy was cut off because a wand was pointed to his throat. He gulped when he saw the murderous look in his sister's eyes. "Alexandra Jamie. Put that down."

"What's the spell?" Alexandra glared at him and pushed the wand deeper into his throat. "I'm telling you. If you don't tell me the spell, you're going to regret being alive right now."

"Percuris. It's Percuris. That's the healing spell." Lucius said frantically at that, knowing what his sister was capable of.

Alexandra pocketed her wand and scoffed at him. "I'd turn you into a ferret if I could. But I'll do what I should've done long ago. Forget being my brother. Go join the bloody Voldemort all you want. I'm not. And I'm putting an end to this. From now on, I'm not your sister. Bloody git." She turned around and started walking away at that.

"I was trying to protect you." Lucius' words made Alexandra stop in her tracks.

"Protect me?" Alexandra chuckled bitterly and glared at him. "You were trying to protect your reputation. I'm nothing to you. I'm just someone you have the same name with. You've never loved me. You're not family. Goodbye, Lucius. Think over everything, and make the right choice."

And with that, she left Lucius' room and went to her own where her bag was ready. She took a deep breath. It felt good to finally let everything out. Lucius Malfoy was not a brother to her. Her real brothers were James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. And she had only one thing to do left. Alexandra made her way to the living room where her father was.

"Alexandra?" Abraxas Malfoy looked at her in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"Father, I've chosen my side." Alexandra said firmly. "It's not too late. We can still change everything." Abraxas' eyes steeled once he realized what she was saying.

"I know you're afraid." Alexandra sat down beside him and squeezed his shoulder. "I am too. But trust me, Father. I can finish this once and for all. For once in your life, can't you give me something I want?" Abraxas stared at his only daughter in conflict before sighing and taking a piece of paper from his jacket.

"Farewell, daughter." Abraxas Malfoy nodded at her and wondered if he did the right thing. He knew this day would come, and he just hoped that his daughter was enough.

Alexandra Malfoy smiled softly and kissed the top of her father's head before Apparating out of the Malfoy Manor and into the Cottage on the Hill. She was finally free. From her stupid brother, from her prejudiced father, from the dark side. She opened the paper and looked at it with surprise.

"Horcruxes?"

"Come in." Dumbledore said in a soft voice.

Alexandra took in a deep breath and pushed the doors open, smiling at the Headmaster. "Hello, Professor."

"Ah, Miss Malfoy. Please sit down." Dumbledore looked at her in slight surprise, not expecting the visit. "I expect you heard the password from Professor McGonagall."

"Ah yes, sir." Alexandra smiled weakly before taking in a deep breath and taking out the things from her bag. There was a ring, a cup, a diary, a locket and a diadem. "We can beat him, Professor. We can restore light."

Dumbledore looked at the girl in front of him in awe before standing up and handing her the Sorting Hat. "Thank you, Miss Malfoy. It's time to bring order back."

"Alexandra sent one last letter about the healing spell, and that was the last we heard of her. And you two know the rest. The legendary duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort happened. And Voldemort cast one last spell at Alexandra, killing her for good." Ria let out a sigh. "Well, at least that's what Dumbledore said."

"Lily and James got together during their 7th year." Ria watched the two teenagers who had conflicted expressions on their faces. "And they got married after a few months."

"Why didn't my aunt tell them about her plans?" Draco frowned in confusion. "Why didn't she talk to you after?"

"She made a sacrifice." Harry answered quietly. "She gave up my Mum to save the wizarding world. She gave up my Mum for my Dad."

"She asked Professor Dumbledore to tell everyone she was dead." Draco let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead when suddenly an owl was at the window. Draco opened the window to take the letter from the owl.

Draco, your aunt's dying. Come back to England now. She wants to see you one last time.

"My aunt's dying. I need to go back." Draco wiped away his tears that fell like his world that crashed down at those words. "Please pull over, I need to find a ride." When Ria pulled the car over, Draco went out of the car quickly, trying to think of a way to make a way back to England.

"Wait! Draco!" Harry pulled him back and turned to Ria. "Aunt Ria, can you drive Draco back to England?"

"Yes, of course." Ria nodded and went back inside. "Let's go."

"What about you?" Draco asked Harry worriedly.

"I'll be fine. I can ask around." Harry smiled reassuringly. Draco squeezed his hand before making his way back to the car.

"Draco?" Harry suddenly said, making Draco turn back to him. "I promise to bring her home. She will see your aunt again."

Draco ran to him and hugged him tight. "Thank you. Thank you." He went back to the car and Ria drove off quickly. Harry watched them go. He realized he was in Hogsmeade before he started running to Hogwarts where there were a lot of people crowding around. As he arrived, he saw lots of people asking around and started making his way through the crowd.

Arriving at the hospital wing, Harry looked around at the beds for Lily and ran to where he saw his mother. Lily had wounds all over her, but thankfully, she was breathing well. Harry let the tears of relief escape his eyes. His mother was alive. She was fine. And that was all Harry needed in that moment.

"Are you a relative of the patient?" One of the healers asked Harry. "These are her things." He handed over a plastic bag with Lily's things.

Harry took the bag silently and saw a piece of paper in it. He saw that it was a letter addressed to him. He glanced at Lily before starting to read the letter.

Harry, my son, I'm sorry. I never realized how much I'm failing to be a good mother to you until tonight. I'm sorry you feel that I don't love you and I didn't love your dad enough. Please believe me when I say that I love you and I love your dad with all the love I can give. I have decided to take a day off from work and go to Scotland instead. 

You asked me who Jamie was. She is the reason why I'm going back to Scotland. Not to be with her, but to finally say goodbye. I will be burying everything that is left of her. This is my way of apologizing to you and your dad and for all the years you may have felt that I never loved you fully. I am sorry, son. I am so sorry for hurting you. 

I wanted to give you this photo, Harry. This photo was taken during the moment I first knew what real love was. I had a new reason to live the day you came. You're the greatest love of my life, son. I love you more than I love anyone else. I love you more than my life.

And it was a picture of Lily holding the baby Harry, making Harry's tears fall even more. Lily let out a small groan due to the pain and she opened her eyes slowly. "H-Harry."

"M-Mum. Mum, I'm sorry." Harry hugged Lily gently and cried. He misunderstood everything. Lily loved him. Lily loved him but he chose to be blind to her love all because of his stupid judgment.

Lily squeezed Harry's hand and smiled, knowing everything was finally fine between them. "I love you."
