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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAaibMhSbNnG
634Please respect copyright.PENANARNZCygdv7z
“I-“634Please respect copyright.PENANAeQKi4UVMP5
634Please respect copyright.PENANA80trjXB0Np
They both started, making Harry laugh but not Eliza. In the end, she nodded towards him to continue.634Please respect copyright.PENANATqooQHy2rf
634Please respect copyright.PENANAxUfdyCJxs0
“How are you feeling?” He asked, already knowing the answer but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment.634Please respect copyright.PENANAYc9ZxddjI8
634Please respect copyright.PENANAmf7tIDG153
Eliza wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask her and she was ready to give him every answer he wanted.634Please respect copyright.PENANAYnR6ZyR9qp
634Please respect copyright.PENANAkVYTDDRDhc
“Fine. I’m just fine. I’m not going-“634Please respect copyright.PENANAvJZEGxphmi
634Please respect copyright.PENANAm71Wr8xRLU
“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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAfvVfJ4YEIN
634Please respect copyright.PENANA8nfpMFlhta
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. 634Please respect copyright.PENANAZmtcPmWVxO
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAh12DJwFUbG
634Please respect copyright.PENANAAA5JhiR9FO
“Where is my father?” She asked in such a soft voice that Harry almost didn’t catch it.634Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hur5T8Cji
634Please respect copyright.PENANA2N21yvSwOY
“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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAxhtFdR0I3X
634Please respect copyright.PENANAvmqPD1OBok
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAqneuM7Lr9x
634Please respect copyright.PENANAg7GaOWcfmy
“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?” 634Please respect copyright.PENANAAq0Qd2fQp0
“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. 634Please respect copyright.PENANArhAFaHqDce
“I guess we are,” She admitted finally. “Thank you for saving my father, Harry.” Now that was a real shock for both of them.634Please respect copyright.PENANAi1lttAOeOt
634Please respect copyright.PENANAcmFlDb2xF6
“You said it before, haven’t you? You never turn your back on your family. You and Sirius, you two are my family now.”634Please respect copyright.PENANAjjlxv91Bcg
634Please respect copyright.PENANAfPA2e2G07O
“These are big words for someone who just met his godfather,” She joked.634Please respect copyright.PENANAW2lCbjQss7
634Please respect copyright.PENANAaGCiPXlUkp
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANA0OTOkPbt4l
634Please respect copyright.PENANAjtplbNh6ZD
“What about the rest?” She asked, remembering Hermione and Ron. They were the only ones who knew the truth about her family except Harry.634Please respect copyright.PENANAgVYX61pAL9
634Please respect copyright.PENANAadmOMgtahn
“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..."634Please respect copyright.PENANAbU7pwaTJqL
Eliza bit her lip and leaned back, "It's probably for the best."634Please respect copyright.PENANAZ31b0TAidI
"What about you? You came with him, didn't you? What will you do next year?"634Please respect copyright.PENANA5sBVkG1kHQ
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. 634Please respect copyright.PENANAVvoh7f8D8j
"There's still a lot I don't know. I need education, don't I?" 634Please respect copyright.PENANAhyK6CckXUm
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANA9R9Oa6yKN3
634Please respect copyright.PENANA4endTPnnbf
“This year has been eventful,” Dean started before going into a full story about Quidditch. 634Please respect copyright.PENANAsaePSougdX
Seamus seemed to have already lost interest and Neville was only partially listening to Dean.634Please respect copyright.PENANA08M3YQ6x4I
634Please respect copyright.PENANA1mBjimWPdP
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAVY6EE6u0S1
634Please respect copyright.PENANAkYlZIQYfKD
“Malfoy,”634Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ko0WLbl3H
634Please respect copyright.PENANAg5DibfrvJE
“Molley,”634Please respect copyright.PENANAlGhXQq2jes
634Please respect copyright.PENANAtzzpnKIGHs
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANAQJdWuXPioz
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.634Please respect copyright.PENANABdC61SnS0R
634Please respect copyright.PENANA7JoNgG8PGd
Truthfully, Eliza couldn’t wait for her second year at Hogwarts.
