"Liliana Mayfair?" The girls asked. I rubbed my eyes tiredly, running a hand through my hair.

"What?" I asked them.

"Were here to help you. We go to Hogwarts. Were both in Gryffindor-"

"Yeah I recognize you… how do you know where I live?" I asked, pulling at my Pjs with embarrassment.

"We have our ways," They said in unison, glancing at each other. "We know about it all and were very sorry to hear." The one on the left empathised. She had midnight black hair, similar to mine and green eyes.

"Know what?" I asked suspiciously.

"About your mother and father. Cancer and abandonment? And now he's gone as well? It must be very hard on you and like Eva said, were here to help." The one on the right told me. She had blonde hair with pink streaks in and violet eyes that must be charmed.

"Come in." I told them. No one knew. No one at all. Not Potter or the Weasleys. Well they didn't know the whole story anyway.

I stepped aside and they smiled at me and walked in. I sat them at the kitchen table, getting them both drinks. "I didn't catch you name." I told the blonde one. She laughed lightly.

"If course… its Tani Ralek. This is Eva Zania." She told me, pulling out her slender hand for me to shake. I took it grinning.

"Unusual names." I commented. They both laughed.

"Don't even get us started on that. But onto a more serious note. I know finding out that your mother has cancer and then your father leaving you with some preppy secretary, then your boyfriend cheating on you so you break up with him and all your friends leave you is hard-." Started Tani, saying it extremely quickly.

"Jesus you really have done some research into this haven't you?" I commented jokingly. They nodded, smiling.

"We know it's hard but, were going back to Hogwarts in less than…2 weeks? Yeah 2 weeks and well…" They glanced at each other sadly. "Look at yourself." Tani finished in a whisper. I blushed lightly.

"Don't you remember how beautiful your hair used to be?" Eva asked while both of them got up and walked around the table. They touched my hair lightly. "How those eyes were lined magnificently, making them pop out of your head? How stylish you used to be?" Eva asked.

"How beautiful you used to sing?" Tani asked. I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. "Don't worry honey, like we said were here to help. First of all let's get you up and in the shower, I'm assuming your mothers in the hospital getting her treatment?" I nodded dazedly as they pulled me up the stairs.

"Oh god, are you sure?" I asked Tani who stood behind me. She smiled at me in the mirror.

"Don't worry Liliana, it needs a good cutting and anyway I've cut my own hair before." She reassured me. I looked up at her hair that was tied up in a bobble and bit my lip. She laughed at my expression but started to brush my wet hair anyway, making it straighter than usual. Eva looked on amused, from the bath's edge.

"What is this crap?" She asked amused, looking up from the more! magazine. I shrugged, wincing as Eva chopped off a bit of hair. "Got any food?"

"No go away! Ow!" I moaned as she cut some more off.

"You can't feel it Liliana, don't be so silly!"

"That's what you think." I muttered childishly. "How much more are you going to savagely cut off anyway?"

"Savagely…" She muttered to herself. "Only about an inch or two." I huffed and shifted around in my chair.

"Hey guys!" Eva said interrupting the staring match Tani and I were having. "Listen to this…."

-oooo-

"I wish you would go and die sometimes."

"Your concern for me is overwhelming." Tani replied dryly, glancing at me from the side as Eva walked past, pushing the trolley with a little bit too much enthusiasm for a fifteen-year-old. "Look as much as you hate it, shopping is a necessary part of living. So naturally we need to go, unless you have a house elf hidden up your arse along with that stick." I laughed sarcastically.

"You're so witty it wounds me." I replied as dryly as her, walking forwards to stop Eva from banging into a display of nappies.

"You two need to stop arguing." Eva told us, raising an eyebrow.

"God Eva…sometimes…" said Tani, rolling her eyes. I grinned at her and linked her arm pulling her forwards with a groan.

"Come on then… lets go shopping!"

"Off to the frozen section!"

-oooo-

"Do some karaoke Lils!" Tani shouted loudly over the present karaoke-er. I laughed and shook my head. "Come on! Show these losers who's boss!" She told me grinning.

"Hey I got you into this party, be grateful guys!"

"Only cause you go slaggin' round all the boys!"

"Shut up! Please Lils! Do it for me if not for this twat!" Eva pleaded jokingly.

"What song then?"

"Heart break and loneliness!" Eva told me, holding her hand to her heart.

"Is that a song?"

"No… do…. something by Selena Gomez!" A memory flashed though my head as soon as the words passed her mouth. With my friends… my old friends running down the hill, singing.

"Fine… choose for me then, I'll go next." I walked up to the front as they and introduced myself in the mic as Eva and Tani quarrelled over what song to choose by the DJ. They finally chose one and the song started, they grinned evilly at me and naturally I got worried… turns out it was Love You Like A Love Song, they found it absolutely hilarious… me… not so much.

"It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centrefold miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat."

The next few moments were a blur because I really didn't care for the song, no matter how much they were dancing and laughing, I wasn't mad with them, I just didn't find it as so completely hilarious as them. I tuned back in though when it got to my fav bit of the song… the only kinda good bit in the song.

"No one compares
you stand alone, to every record I own

-I had my eyes closed, singing and doing weird hand movements to go with the song-

Music to my heart that's what you are
a song that goes on and on!"
