Sorry it took me so long. Hurricane Sandy delayed me. I was working and the power went out. I had to retype the entire thing!

Chapter 4
As they days went on, the homework piled up. Delilah struggled to keep up with the masive mounds of homework. She wasn't the only one. Almost everyone felt the same strain. She, Lily, and Severus decided to go to the Library on Saturday to, hopefuly, to shrink the mound considerably.
Saturday morning came, and it was time for the mail. Delilah's barn owl, Harold, came with a letter.
Dear Delilah,
Please meet me in my office after breakfast. You are not in trouble. I wish to discuss your lack of guardians.
Your professor,
Professor Flitwick
Delilah stared at the letter, confused. Since when did I have or need a guardian? Is my lack of guardians bad? she asked herself, I guess I'll find out.
After breakfast, Delilah caught up to Lily and Severus.
"Hey, Delilah! Ready to go to the Library?" Lily asked.
"Well, about that. See, Professor Flitwick wanted to see me after breakfast. Something about my non-existant guardians. You don't mind, do you?" Delilah explained.
"Nah, its ok. We can wait for you," Severus said.
"No, you go ahead. I'll catch up with you," Delilah said.
"Ok, see ya soon," Lily good byed.
"Bye," Delilah said, as she ran twards her Head of House's Office.
Delilah knocked on the door as she slowly walked in.
"Ah yes, come in!" said Flitwick, in his usual squeaky voice.
"You wanted to see me, Professor?" asked Delilah.
"Yes, I did. After school ends, you need some place to go. You can't go back on the streets. So, what I was thinking, is that we put you up for adoption," Professor Flitwick explained.
Delilah couldn't believe he ears. "You mean, I would get real parents?" she asked.
"This decision is up to you," he started.
"Are you kidding me? I would love this!" she said, springing up.
"Ooh, goody! Come see me tommorrow and we'll the papers filled out." Flitwick smiled.
"Thank you so much, Professor! Have a good day," Delilah said as she walked out. Oh what a happy, glorious day!
Everything seemed more colorful and bright to Delilah. She was extremly excited.
She arived at the Library, shortly after she left the professor's office.
"Hey, there you are. What did Professor Flitwick want?" Lily wondered.
"Oh, he wanted to talk about putting me up for adoption," Delilah explained, casualy. She tried keeping a strait face. It was very hard.
"No way! Congradulations!" said Lily and Severus.
"Thanks! Now, lets get started, shall we?"
Yay! Delilah will have parents now! Please R&R. Again, sorry it took so long.
Honestly, I think this chapter was, well, not bad, but not good. In the middle.
