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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyz7XZjGFv

“I-“808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ImTYDNaI
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkafxltwhRR
They both started, making Harry laugh but not Eliza. In the end, she nodded towards him to continue.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWaMyeRkoK
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTG7jrmWEc
“How are you feeling?” He asked, already knowing the answer but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkbvYExPF4
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrQ6G0hA3M
Eliza wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask her and she was ready to give him every answer he wanted.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25cniU28Qj
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEDuk02K7u
“Fine. I’m just fine. I’m not going-“808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62sLifN6fH
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfWB7PZJpq
“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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwjdASrCut

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. 808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZCoDWWti6
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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4IvYUzhg
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1GLPjdpEZ
“Where is my father?” She asked in such a soft voice that Harry almost didn’t catch it.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWRk3YW0rT
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho2FqWwKXG
“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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenoGAixzEk
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuaUu5rBMG
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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNjBS1s48K
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkabEfKJmeh
“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?” 808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LcajViT7E
“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. 808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuKYmrUz0o
“I guess we are,” She admitted finally. “Thank you for saving my father, Harry.” Now that was a real shock for both of them.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuVD2lsMD4
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwqvYOShf
“You said it before, haven’t you? You never turn your back on your family. You and Sirius, you two are my family now.”808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOET4eGUs5f
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH29erSHBX
“These are big words for someone who just met his godfather,” She joked.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImOw9UtudL
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qOo64wW4V
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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpTdymkdlP
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4F8tJoSQ
“What about the rest?” She asked, remembering Hermione and Ron. They were the only ones who knew the truth about her family except Harry.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomJ21UpUUV

“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..."808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhVdioywq
Eliza bit her lip and leaned back, "It's probably for the best."808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80oVIfwEBb
"What about you? You came with him, didn't you? What will you do next year?"808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMHIsJMeOt
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. 808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumLsLbye1r
"There's still a lot I don't know. I need education, don't I?" 808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRt9wEDtxk
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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7XT4IXeIN

“This year has been eventful,” Dean started before going into a full story about Quidditch. 808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCsMNEFM8P
Seamus seemed to have already lost interest and Neville was only partially listening to Dean.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ktoureXC

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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKu3VbmVin

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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmM3WT1EWm
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.808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqm9eDZetw
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb276EJZRv7
Truthfully, Eliza couldn’t wait for her second year at Hogwarts.
