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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAi7zr8OjshT
623Please respect copyright.PENANA0wfwCvDbmY
“I-“623Please respect copyright.PENANAQaelCE91TY
623Please respect copyright.PENANAyOFdtEwWSl
They both started, making Harry laugh but not Eliza. In the end, she nodded towards him to continue.623Please respect copyright.PENANAmWVcmNbOQu
623Please respect copyright.PENANAt2GimKhhgb
“How are you feeling?” He asked, already knowing the answer but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment.623Please respect copyright.PENANAqb14LW4aLj
623Please respect copyright.PENANAAj6tYFaODH
Eliza wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask her and she was ready to give him every answer he wanted.623Please respect copyright.PENANAf17ukJ2j32
623Please respect copyright.PENANARqEnzAQKNm
“Fine. I’m just fine. I’m not going-“623Please respect copyright.PENANAhSyZu6xxgM
623Please respect copyright.PENANAx0reAdRA6O
“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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAUZtgzj45cz
623Please respect copyright.PENANARjJNYmMn8M
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. 623Please respect copyright.PENANATAAf9ZzyIo
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAcocRaAFRBG
623Please respect copyright.PENANA5XyEb41UQ7
“Where is my father?” She asked in such a soft voice that Harry almost didn’t catch it.623Please respect copyright.PENANABZnG4JKbiA
623Please respect copyright.PENANAGx6Fc8VML4
“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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAY7vzpDb0Fq
623Please respect copyright.PENANAVVW9S5n6e5
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAJY3D7qrZ5l
623Please respect copyright.PENANAz9T0pBKsoI
“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?” 623Please respect copyright.PENANAFqD65wOjEk
“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. 623Please respect copyright.PENANAZDEikMrMGm
“I guess we are,” She admitted finally. “Thank you for saving my father, Harry.” Now that was a real shock for both of them.623Please respect copyright.PENANAKfvqf6B71r
623Please respect copyright.PENANAR42O7CxSAi
“You said it before, haven’t you? You never turn your back on your family. You and Sirius, you two are my family now.”623Please respect copyright.PENANAmkOvRO4Kkt
623Please respect copyright.PENANAgpchXnP275
“These are big words for someone who just met his godfather,” She joked.623Please respect copyright.PENANAUahGv82J0m
623Please respect copyright.PENANAno1CHMTLPO
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANA11Ly8e54Yw
623Please respect copyright.PENANAXzwpCZc2OW
“What about the rest?” She asked, remembering Hermione and Ron. They were the only ones who knew the truth about her family except Harry.623Please respect copyright.PENANApFJM0FIJdF
623Please respect copyright.PENANAuzXangJrU7
“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..."623Please respect copyright.PENANAOxM017pIZ0
Eliza bit her lip and leaned back, "It's probably for the best."623Please respect copyright.PENANA4UX8fK2MTa
"What about you? You came with him, didn't you? What will you do next year?"623Please respect copyright.PENANAtbN6vW2N6N
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. 623Please respect copyright.PENANAWBRMLMd8Qd
"There's still a lot I don't know. I need education, don't I?" 623Please respect copyright.PENANAEezlwX45A6
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAeB7RCmhwx5
623Please respect copyright.PENANAPSRumEsOpG
“This year has been eventful,” Dean started before going into a full story about Quidditch. 623Please respect copyright.PENANA0f71pWoIRR
Seamus seemed to have already lost interest and Neville was only partially listening to Dean.623Please respect copyright.PENANAKVWDbQdLK3
623Please respect copyright.PENANAZvtVMidXO5
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAV1NGE4tM3j
623Please respect copyright.PENANAa717kreK7y
“Malfoy,”623Please respect copyright.PENANABgtgn0XHtO
623Please respect copyright.PENANALffHBwrtXt
“Molley,”623Please respect copyright.PENANAdyW3Nlkluh
623Please respect copyright.PENANA4KwJxuauBA
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANAepqCViiXTz
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.623Please respect copyright.PENANABuRXrStrGN
623Please respect copyright.PENANA59HeDrPgyV
Truthfully, Eliza couldn’t wait for her second year at Hogwarts.
