Chapter Three- Crying The Night Away

_______________
Harry and Summer sat in the family room waiting. She was now half an hour late. Summer secretly smiled.
She hadn't met her yet or even saw her for that matter but she knew that she didn't like her. Summer's smile turned into a frown when Lisa walked into the room.
"Master Potter, Lady Marie has arrived" They both stood as she walked in, or more like Harry stood and pulled Summer up just as she entered.
"Marie" Harry exclaimed smiling and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Marie this is Summer, Summer this is Marie"
"Hi" Summer said bluntly
"Summer, what a pleasure" Marie smiled.
"Wish I could say the same" Summer retorted back, just before Harry hit her in the arm and giving her a look that clearly said 'Cut the Crap.'
This was going to be some dinner.

After they recovered from their laughing fit, Hermione filled them all the way in.
"John said they loved them" John was Hermiones Editor "It gets even better though, they're going to publish them all right, and you know what's going to become of them after that?" Everyone leaned forward to listen.
"There using them in an England school for first years on up to forth" Hermione beamed when she was finished.
"Really?" Winter asked
"Yup"
Winter screamed and gave her mum the biggest hug possible. While Ginny and Tori looked on with huge smiles.
"We better get home Tori, big day tomorrow. Jesse wants me there at five for a fitting" Ginny explained to everyone.
"Bye guys and way to go Aunt Herm. Your going to be even more famous." Hermione smiled at Tori.
"Not fair, you got the good one" Hermione yelled to their retreating backs, as they crossed to their yards.
"Mum!" Winter exclaimed playfully, as if it really hurt her feelings. She even went as far as pretending to wipe tears away.
Hermione only laughed and said "Come on silly we have to get in, I've got to meet John in the morning." Hermione stopped walking to the house and turned around "Wanna come? We are just going to breakfast and going over last minute things" Winter smiled and nodded before jumping up and linking arms with her mum as they walked in the house.

The two Potters and Marie were sitting nicely at the table enjoying their meal.
"So Summer, your dad tells me that you already know how to ride" Marie was trying to make Summer like her in the least bit.
"Yeah, but that's not all I can do" Harry smiled a little, at least his daughter was trying a little. He looked at Marie and smiled before he started eating again.
"What else can you do?" Marie asked with raised eyebrows trying to be interested.
"Well, I can read minds" At this Harry even lifted his eyebrows, as Summer went on.
"Want me to read yours?"
Marie nodded and smiled as she put her fork down. "Yes"
"Great" Summer exclaimed clapping her hands together and sitting up straighter in her chair.
All the while Harry looked sick as he tried to calm his nerves by drinking some water. Along with repeating in his head 'Please, nothing stupid Summer'
Summer closed her eyes and made several different coughing noises before she reopened them smiling even bigger.
"I am sorry Marie, I couldn't find a thing in your head. Are you sure your alive?" Summer blurted out.
Marie looked taken back and Harry started coughing from nearly choking on his water.
The rest of dinner went fast, no one tried to make a conversation after Summer's lovely mind reading.
When dinner was over Summer stood up and smiled.
"Nice meeting you.....Mandy" she started out to the kitchen but not before Marie tried to correct her.
"Marie" She tried to explain.
"No silly" Summer said turning around. "My name isn't Marie, it's Summer. I would really check her dad. I don't think she has any brains." She smiled once more and skipped to her room.
Marie was looking around a little shocked while Harry put his head in his hands. Summer had hit again.

"Mum, can I ask you something?"
Ginny smiled "Of course dear, what is it?"
The question was something Ginny wasn't prepared to answer.
"Would you get mad if I was to say, I wanted to met my dad?" Tori asked.

_______________________

Hermione came into Winters room to tell her good night and found that she was crying.
"What's wrong dear?" Hermione asked sitting next to her and wrapping her arms around her as she cried.
"I don't know, I'm not sad, but it's as if half of me is. I can't help but cry" Winter sniffed and Hermione's eyes widen.
"Its okay, we all feel that way some time or another" Hermione said trying to remain calm.
"Winter, I am going to talk to Ginny, about some grown up things. Why don't you give Tori a call" Winter sniffed again and nodded.

Summer was sitting in her window again. It was her comfort place and she was crying her eyes out. Summer wasn't the nicest person in the world. You could ask anyone, everyone said its because she had her own way of doing things and she wouldn't listen to no one else. Except one person, her father, the one person who just yelled at her. He had never yelled like that before.

*Flash Back*
Summer was smiling so wide she felt her cheeks hurt. She started giggling like a little kid till the door to her room came flying open.
"SUMMER" she jumped clear off her bed.
"Yes, daddy?" She knew it was a cheap way to go but, she needed all the extra sucking up she could get.
"Don't, yes daddy me. How could you be so mean to my guest?" Harry yelled. While Summer dropped her head in shame.
"I have never in my day, been more embarrassed then I was a few minutes ago."
"I am sorry daddy" Summer was now crying a little.
"No, your aren't. Your happy! You are glad she doesn't want to see me again. I never would have thought that of you, to be so rude. Thanks Summer" Harry finished and slowly walked to the door shaking his head.
*End of Flash-Back*

Summer shut her eyes tightly holding as many tears back as she could while she was thinking of everything. She was soon brought out of her train of thoughts when she heard a knock on the door, followed by a small voice going, "Summer?"
"Over here Lisa" Summer started wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
Lisa sat down next to her and pulled her in a hug while Summer cried more. It was one of those times when Lisa's sometimes out dated mother-ness took over.
"Its okay, He's just blowing steam. Its a blow to his ego by getting dumped" Lisa tried to joke.
Summer looked up. "I didn't really mean it. I really want a Mum. It's just, I can't help it sometimes. Life's unfair."
"Yes, dear its not fair." Lisa rocked Summer till she fell asleep.

________________

Harry was sitting in his window. He would never tell Summer she got her comforting window-ness from him.
He was looking out into the sky that was now getting a little dark.
His life went down hill ever since they left. 'Why?' Harry thought as a single tear rolled down his cheek.

_______________

Hermione and Ginny weren't getting off any better.
"I don't know what to do" Hermione sniffed.
"You are going to have to tell her sometime" Ginny said
"When's the right time to tell your daughter she has a twin living with ... with her father she hasn't ever seen."
Ginny shrugged her shoulders."I don't know Hermione, but she is going to freak either way"
Hermione nodded and then for the first time noticed that Ginny had been crying.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Ginny looked up from her lap and leaned back in the hammock.
"Tori, she wants to meet her dad."
"Draco?" Hermione whispered.
Ginny nodded again and replied "I mean, didn't I love her enough? Why would she want to meet him? I mean, sure he sends nice things on her birthday and on holidays, but I'm the one she comes to when she is sick or when she is upset. What has Draco ever done for her?" Ginny gave a sob and Hermione got off her hammock to comfort Ginny.
"She couldn't have had a more loving mother" Hermione smiled through her own tears. Ginny looked up and Hermione went on. "Maybe it's time we face the facts that we can't hide forever."

______________

"Mum really flipped" Tori said over the phone, sounding really sad to Winter. She was glad her parents allowed them to have phones, so they could call each other instead of using the fireplace. This they could use in their rooms, unlike the fireplace.
"I still can't believe you asked. I don't think I will ever have the guts to do it." Winter said sighing.
"Yeah well, it wasn't fun. Mum thinks she didn't love me enough" Winter giggled and then quickly apologized.
"Sorry Tori, it's just that I can see Aunt Ginny freaking out about that. You know, saying a whole bunch of things that aren't true."
"Well, Winter, I am going to bed. I have a huge day tomorrow."
"Yeah me too. Night"
"Night"
