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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcVyhpF8N

“I-“735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwIwUQcgj2
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq6mwFt8du
They both started, making Harry laugh but not Eliza. In the end, she nodded towards him to continue.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRgItxuM7
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfApCwTIoo
“How are you feeling?” He asked, already knowing the answer but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XyyI1hxsI
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqBuOTlV65
Eliza wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask her and she was ready to give him every answer he wanted.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W2ZCE2Kjo
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOGyKL2YCc
“Fine. I’m just fine. I’m not going-“735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRE7UkA5Tc
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPogOJvmbJw
“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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbLq4N9zHr

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. 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprkkd2SsXL
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDKqyT5o5g
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0w70MhoN
“Where is my father?” She asked in such a soft voice that Harry almost didn’t catch it.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEgP8yndFR
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrXuSe50mg
“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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZqHqxlic
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED8X7Zdwvn
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTfKKSZqii
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm3xo06Fr0
“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?” 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpLqF6j8Xg
“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. 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ajes72TDN
“I guess we are,” She admitted finally. “Thank you for saving my father, Harry.” Now that was a real shock for both of them.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo9cw7rvTK
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKGxSv3fLZ
“You said it before, haven’t you? You never turn your back on your family. You and Sirius, you two are my family now.”735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60lJohalS
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDwTK52mop
“These are big words for someone who just met his godfather,” She joked.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivdNngMos3
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibFj0rbAP
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF7uArJ8AB
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJyGlsSeK
“What about the rest?” She asked, remembering Hermione and Ron. They were the only ones who knew the truth about her family except Harry.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUz0AqX4hJ

“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..."735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrPBJUuIsE
Eliza bit her lip and leaned back, "It's probably for the best."735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt5Qr920xN
"What about you? You came with him, didn't you? What will you do next year?"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdiHmICfVZ
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. 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q9UaUQrU0
"There's still a lot I don't know. I need education, don't I?" 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu0QHMvUjY
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cv90JlfWB

“This year has been eventful,” Dean started before going into a full story about Quidditch. 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OHxY9DUv
Seamus seemed to have already lost interest and Neville was only partially listening to Dean.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk2RZZAhYh
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSMqYCPYxr
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR29n8jD6v
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP1JvdfIwo
“Malfoy,”735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjztKlrvAf

“Molley,”735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9nlyayCXE
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83A9NvOHvA
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxQedNf0hb
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8RZvFle99
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33hKFBxEa
Truthfully, Eliza couldn’t wait for her second year at Hogwarts.
