Next day, Eliza met Harry in the Common Room. She only showered and changed into her robes before walking out, avoiding the aftermath. Unfortunately, it didn’t work as she wanted and she met Harry when she last expected.710Please respect copyright.PENANA2DP1tmJNOi
710Please respect copyright.PENANAiP3IOCbb36
“I-“710Please respect copyright.PENANAQtBNQm8use
710Please respect copyright.PENANAq9OIXFYtfC
They both started, making Harry laugh but not Eliza. In the end, she nodded towards him to continue.710Please respect copyright.PENANAtTXvJLerPN
710Please respect copyright.PENANAk3f7kWyo2S
“How are you feeling?” He asked, already knowing the answer but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment.710Please respect copyright.PENANAwPhRQo9Kjt
710Please respect copyright.PENANAbj7gPSU0Bl
Eliza wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask her and she was ready to give him every answer he wanted.710Please respect copyright.PENANAZvIi3smBbl
710Please respect copyright.PENANAneMagALNKN
“Fine. I’m just fine. I’m not going-“710Please respect copyright.PENANAC5mJVoCNkH
710Please respect copyright.PENANAnrTpAT9img
“You don’t have to apologize for not telling me who you are. We both know I wouldn’t have reacted well. But we know the truth now,” He started, very serious and hopeful for some reason.710Please respect copyright.PENANAK5Pxna2XwO
710Please respect copyright.PENANALwxGsbY0jE
The brunette sighed and sat on the couch, feeling fidgety. Harry sat on her other side, his eyes boring into her face. He really wanted her to say something to him, something rude even just so he could assure himself that they were still friends. 710Please respect copyright.PENANAlGVFEoBFaO
Sirius was her father and his godfather; that couldn’t bring more happiness to him really. He had a family that he didn’t know about, one that was ready to welcome him with open arms.710Please respect copyright.PENANAwMgZDy3szW
710Please respect copyright.PENANA3WrAjqNOGz
“Where is my father?” She asked in such a soft voice that Harry almost didn’t catch it.710Please respect copyright.PENANA2LyJBBhte6
710Please respect copyright.PENANAVEDc9yT2PZ
“He’s alright. We used Hermione’s time turner to help Sirius escape with Buckbeak,” He whispered fully aware that it wasn’t exactly the place for such conversations.710Please respect copyright.PENANAQEO147a501
710Please respect copyright.PENANAxMP2Ok99yU
Hearing that her father was safe ceased her worries. If Sirius was fine then Remus should be fine, as well. It was just a matter of time for her godfather to recuperate.710Please respect copyright.PENANArL8AuQLf7n
710Please respect copyright.PENANAFki8m3OOOC
“You know, Remus told me a lot about their adventures in Hogwarts and how troublesome our fathers used to be,” She started, making Harry chuckle softly. “He told me we resemble them so much... But are we friends?” 710Please respect copyright.PENANASIW9PKNZ5q
“I want to believe we are. We don’t have to be as close as our fathers but we can be friends. We are friends, aren’t we?” He asked. 710Please respect copyright.PENANAlm6I5hG0Kh
“I guess we are,” She admitted finally. “Thank you for saving my father, Harry.” Now that was a real shock for both of them.710Please respect copyright.PENANAXF7OwL953K
710Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3QzyEW2ko
“You said it before, haven’t you? You never turn your back on your family. You and Sirius, you two are my family now.”710Please respect copyright.PENANA4SjjooIFbn
710Please respect copyright.PENANABpw7KeuQ8c
“These are big words for someone who just met his godfather,” She joked.710Please respect copyright.PENANAaA50szbd6d
710Please respect copyright.PENANAWVDAcxp8pU
The atmosphere became lighter now that they admitted they won’t break their friendship after what happened. If anything, Harry looked quite happy with it.710Please respect copyright.PENANARR2SaDwGgO
710Please respect copyright.PENANATkJeoHqlKm
“What about the rest?” She asked, remembering Hermione and Ron. They were the only ones who knew the truth about her family except Harry.710Please respect copyright.PENANAvFZCCSKfEr
710Please respect copyright.PENANANYRnRrnl60
“They already got over it, believe me. If not, they will come to their senses in a few days and everything will be like before,” He was so sure of it, like they have been through that before. "Professor Lupin- he resigned. Snape told everyone that he's a werewolf and..."710Please respect copyright.PENANAKPePEOpA1n
Eliza bit her lip and leaned back, "It's probably for the best."710Please respect copyright.PENANAfiNGt3mU2x
"What about you? You came with him, didn't you? What will you do next year?"710Please respect copyright.PENANAuIfFolRnf0
That was a question she asked herself already and the answer came from Dumbledore himself. She was a witch just like any other and the time she spent in Hogwarts was irreplaceable. 710Please respect copyright.PENANAoKXt4qwGth
"There's still a lot I don't know. I need education, don't I?" 710Please respect copyright.PENANASVc7GIhTyb
Harry smiled and nodded. That was a good enough answer for him.
The rest of the days passed quickly and Eliza found herself in front of Hogwarts Express between Dean and Seamus. She already talked to Remus and couldn’t help but accept the fact that he won’t return as a professor the next year. However, he assured her that Dumbledore won’t let anyone find out the truth about her family. She could return to Hogwarts for the rest of the years without a problem and he will be there for her, waiting at the other end of Hogwarts Express.710Please respect copyright.PENANAqajBfdDq1a
710Please respect copyright.PENANAotMa7fshql
“This year has been eventful,” Dean started before going into a full story about Quidditch. 710Please respect copyright.PENANAvnmeg4wzSl
Seamus seemed to have already lost interest and Neville was only partially listening to Dean.710Please respect copyright.PENANAzE0s7X3ZN8
710Please respect copyright.PENANAmqE2Q0GU7h
She sneaked out without a problem an hour later and walked in search for Harry. She wanted to ask him if he wanted to visit Sirius with her later in July but she met someone she completely forgot about.710Please respect copyright.PENANAUVbHgJHnmY
710Please respect copyright.PENANAM0ycwLdbUn
“Malfoy,”710Please respect copyright.PENANAUF2fnqT9EA
710Please respect copyright.PENANAV5G8BDWVk5
“Molley,”710Please respect copyright.PENANAsYZmevH2VG
710Please respect copyright.PENANAJl41lteANR
Thankfully, he didn’t say anything else and passed without touching her. But she couldn’t help wonder if Draco let his father know who he met in Hogwarts this year.710Please respect copyright.PENANApIjHeebe26
Actually, no; she really wanted Lucius Malfoy to know she was there. She wanted to meet him and ask him why Ophelia Molley was murdered and what kind of friendship they had before.710Please respect copyright.PENANA49uNMCeOF1
710Please respect copyright.PENANAUPpYDhCpAD
Truthfully, Eliza couldn’t wait for her second year at Hogwarts.
