The Last Horcrux/Hogwarts/Explore Hogwarts with Lily
After dessert, you take Lily by the hand.
“Come one let’s explore the Castle!” You say to her, “we’ve got a couple of hours til we’ve gotta be back in our dorms.”
Lily agrees and you both run off, giggling and making your way through the magical school.

Hogwarts is truly massive. You are overwhelmed by the joy of discovering it for the first time, and although the Monster has some memories of it that surface from time to time, you sense that some parts of Hogwarts have actually changed since he was here. With moving stairs and magical corridors, it’s not that surprising. Thankfully, the Monster seems to sleep again, blessedly leaving you alone with Lily for a few hours. You decide to make the most of it.
You lead Lily down darkened corridors lit by burning braziers, past suits of armour, magical moving paintings, and even ghosts that haunt the castle. You run up and down flights of stairs, apologising when teachers tell you off for running, only to run off again when their backs are turned. You wrap your shadow cloak around your shoulders, and jump out on Lily to scare her, only to laugh and hug her, pulling down your hood so she can see your face.
Only when you are both scolded by Professor McGonagle and the caretaker Mr Filtch do you calm down a little and wander more slowly. You take a walk down some of the covered corridors on the exterior of the building, and notice that a rainstorm has started outside.
“Lily, let’s explore outside!” You tell her.
“But we’ll get all wet!” Lily complains, but half-heartedly.
“No we won’t,” you say, reaching into your Extended Luggage Suite and pulling out a spare cloak for her, “here, you can have this cloak, I don’t need two of them.”
Lily thanks you and puts on your spare cloak, and the two of you walk out into the rainstorm. You keep your hood down so Lily can see your face, and immediately feel the cool Autumn rain washing over your hair and face. Lily does the same, and soon your faces are drenched, but you’re happy and laughing.
The rain is keeping everyone else away, and for a couple of magical hours, it feels as if you and Lily are the only people in the world. You make your way around the exterior of the castle, looking at all the cosy rooms and warm lights within. Occasionally you see people sat in the rooms, and you pull silly faces and poke out your tongues at them, before fleeing giggling into the night before anyone can recognise you. It’s so good to see Lily smiling and laughing so much. Her happiness makes her look even more beautiful.
