Letters

Raven had just told Julie and Jake to stop play with Minnie (the kitten) and go down and get some ice cream in the dining room of the hotel. They had barely been gone five minutes when a soft knock was heard on the door. He opened it and saw Mel stand there. She had a small bag over her shoulder, puffy red eyes and her usually perfect make up was washed away in canals of tears.

"Harry, can I come in?" she asked softly.

"Of course! Come in," he said and let her in. When he closed the door he felt a pair of arms close around his waist and hug him.

"Mel?"

"Why did he do it? Why did he hurt me so? Why?" she said in an almost broken voice. He turned around in her arms and laid his arms protectively around her, trying to stop her crying. Slowly the sobs stopped and left them on the same place.

"What happened? Who hurt you?" Harry asked and looked down at her.

"I... I don't wanna talk about it" she said and looked pleading into his eyes.

"Ok, how about you go and take a relaxing bath then and I get the twins away for the night so you can relax," he said and slowly let his arms down.

"I'm not made of glass, you don't have to tell me what to do," she said and gave him a small glare.

"I know your not going to break, I merely want to take care of you," he said and her glare disappeared.

"Ok" she said simply and slowly made her way into the bathroom. It had been so long since he'd been called Harry it almost sounded weird. Then there was another knock on the door.

"Oh thank you Sasha. Hey somethin´ came up, do you think you could have a sleep over?" He asked and gave her the most charming smile he had.

"Where are little Miss and Mr. Twist then Mr. Twist?" the girl said and handed over the plastic bag full of cat things.

"In the dining room, having ice cream. A million thanks to you for this Sasha," he said and the girl left. He then slowly made his way over to the bathroom.

Mel lay down in the warm water feeling the tension leave her body and making her feel heavy. She closed her eyes and laid water like for what felt like hours until a light kiss on her forehead made her open her eyes.

"Hey beautiful," Harry said from were he sat next to the bathtub.

"Hey"

"Care to tell me what happened now? I just want to help you," he said and those amazing green eyes were shining with protectiveness.

"...Zach and I had a fight, he said some things... I just don't wanna meet him again, them again," she said and a few new tears came to her eyes.

"Don't worry you can stay here for as long as you want honey," he said and she felt a great relief as he said that.

"But they know me! If he really wants to find me he will and I sooo don't want to meet him again," she said and he gave her a chase kiss.

"I'll figure something out," he promised and she nodded. He then left the room, leaving Mel alone and for the time being she felt safe like she hadn't since before she'd been dumped in America, she felt safe. She felt like he really would take care of her and catch her when she fell; like nothing really mattered because he would take care of it. As she thought about it she got up and started to dry herself before she put her nightgown on and left the bathroom.

Harry pulled up his cell phone and called a number he called sometimes this summer to talk, fix business and know what was going on.

"Hello Kuppa."

"Harry! How are you? I haven't heard from you in about a week!"

"Yeah I'm fine, Could you do me a favor Kuppa?"

"A favor huh? Shoot and I'll see what I can do."

"My girl got into a fight with her friends and she doesn't want to see them. The thing is if she doesn't want to see them I want to keep the twins from them too."

"Sounds like you need bodyguards. No problem, I'll send a couple of goblins over and they'll wear a medallion so to non magical they look like human bodyguards"

"You're the best Kuppa."

"I know, Poker night next week?"

"Sure, how things going in UK?"

"Your school letter should arrive later next week, Voldemort is bragging about how you ran away because of him and people are starting to believe him..."

"Damn! Maybe I should show up for a quick show and then leave?"

"Then take the twins with you and show them all the love you have for them."

"Yeah... we'll see. Have to fix this with Mel first. C'ya Kuppa"

"Bye Harry" He turned around as he heard the door open and saw Mel come into the room. She wore a long dark blue silk nightdress and the wet hair hung damply around her head. There was no trace of make up around her eyes or lips.

"You can't be human, you are too beautiful for that..." he said as he crossed the room to her.

"Then Mr. Potter, what am I?" she asked and he took her into his arms.

"A goddess," he said and brought his lips down on hers. He could feel how the nightdress she wore had no back and his fingers followed her spine. Harry picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bed were he put her down.

"Go to sleep my fallen angel," he whispered into her ear before he too changed into pyjamas. Soon he joined her in the bed and pulled her close to him as they fell asleep, for the first time in the same bed.

She walked up to the door and sat down on the floor to put on her shoes when Zach looked up from the videogame he was playing.

"Where are you goin'?" he asked her.

"I'm going to meet Gina, you know that other radio talker Raven introduced me to," she answered happily and checked hair make-up in the mirror on the door. In the reflection she could see Zach actually pause the game.

"The drag queen? It look's like you're meeting Raven," he said.

"So what if I am, it's not like it's your business anyhow?"

"Like hell it isn't! Is this some plan to get you back to England or what? You are with him all the time!" Zach said loudly and stood up from the couch.

"I'm not and why would I go back there when I live here?"

"Well that's only when you see us these days isn't it? Cuz you live here."

"Are you implying that I'm not a real friend?" she asked her voice almost cracking.

"I am implying that all you talk about are Raven and the twins and all are about them! Why don't you live with them instead of us when you love them so?" She couldn't answer the boy she thought of as a brother screaming in her face so she stared at him for some seconds before she almost ran back into her room. As the tears started to fall down her face she grabbed a bag and threw in the most important things and left through the window and ran down the fire escape to the busy streets of New York.

She woke up with tears running down her face and being in Ravens strong arms and hearing him whisper comforting words into her ear. She could feel him being tense and how her head was resting on his chest. Ever so slowly she raised her head to lock her eyes into his. The emerald eyes were sparkling with relief as she had her eyes stare deep into his and he bent down to give her lips a kiss.

"Better now?" he asked after they broke apart.

"Yeah. How could he say those things?"

"What did he say?"

"He went ballistic over me meeting Gina and how I should live here cuz I never see them anymore or something, but I meet and hang with them as usual so I don't know what he meant," she said and he hugged her close.

"You felt kinda safe there didn't you? Since you lived there, since you came to the US? You didn't know how to handle it when he kinda threw you out of your safe zone," he said and she nodded.

"How can I not meet them? I don't wanna..."

"I have taken care of that. They should arrive tomorrow morning and make sure the gang stays away for as long as you need"

"Who will come?"

"Goblins."

"Goblins? As bodyguards?"

"Yeah."

"I love having a famous boyfriend."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

--

The next morning Raven and Mel walked down to the dining room to have breakfast and meet the twins.

"Hey kids, Mel is feeling a bit down. Zach was mean yesterday so she's staying at our place for some time so be nice." Raven said to them as they sat down, Minnie sat under the table.

"Of course daddy, Mel do we have practice today?" Julie asked as she asked the waiter for pancakes.

"No we don't, but we have other fun things planned for today." Mel smiled and asked for a fruit salad.

"Like what?" Jake asked and ordered the same as his sister.

"Well Mel almost left her whole wardrobe in the school so she need clothes, make-up and what other stuff she uses," he said and ordered waffles.

"Can we check some new skateboards out then? And some books? I really want to fine some more plays by Shakespeare." the little boy said.

"How come when I find a couple of kids, they are geniuses?" he asked himself out loud and both the children blushed.

"Hey at least you don't have to teach them how to read if he wants book by Shakespeare," Mel laughed and he nodded.

The group finished the breakfast and walked out on the grand stairs were they meet two goblins.

"Hello, I'm Rodhook and this is Ridrock. Kuppa sent us to be your bodyguards," the first one said and Raven shook their hands.

"Thank you for helping me" he said and they nodded. Then the group headed out on the streets to find clothes and other things they both needed and didn't.

(The night before)

Zach turned around after hearing Mel's door slam shut and saw both Nina and Kane stand in their doors looking grim.

"Well nice done, pea brain" Nina said and glared at him.

"Yeah what the hell was that for you whimp?" Kane said and Zach pulled back a bit, Kane always was scary when she was mad.

"You can't blame her for being in love with a hot guy who happens to like spending time with her!" Nina said and this time he was scared because of her too.

"And she's not spending all the time with them so shut up," Kane said and threw a ball on him.

"Ow!" he cried out at the ball hit him in the head.

"Go back to your bloody game when we fix your mess, again!" Nina said before she walked over to Mel's door and knocked.

"Mel? Honey?" soon Nina walked in and Kane sat down in front of him.

"You do know that I highly protect my friends, even from each other and themselves" she said and her black eyes seemed cold.

"Yeah?"

"Don't force me to hurt you for hurting my friend" she said as Nina came rushing out.

"She has left and she's turned her phone off!" the girl screamed at him and he could feel Kane grabbed his shirt before she dragged him up. Suddenly he fell to the floor in the corridor outside and both the girls stood in the door.

"You're sleeping in the corridor" Kane said. Some of the doors in said corridor opened and heads looked out.

"Hey what's happening?" Owen asked from his room.

"Zachary here had a fight with Mel and made her turn of her phone after she ran away," Nina said as she had her cell phone at her ear.

"I'd say, before you even can get up from the floor no one will let you into their rooms," Kane said before she slammed the door shut in his face. It was the thing with this group. They had Melona, Kane and Nina; the three hottest, smartest, most interesting (and scary) girls in the whole school. The group was popular even if they had a alternative style. So when Nina called and said what happened to Mel to one other, he was screwed. No one would take him in until he and Mel made up or was forgiven by the other two.

"Why did she have to be the school's sweet heart?!" He muttered to himself as he lay down to sleep.

--

Nina opened the door the day after and found that it hit Zach on the back.

"Oops!" she said before she stepped over him. Kane followed her and they walked off, leaving a newly awake boy on the floor staring after them.

"What the hell?" they heard him mutter to himself.

"Kane I'm worried, Mel turned her phone off and Raven won't answer, you think she's with him?" Nina asked worriedly.

"I'm sure she is, after all Zach said she probably felt like there's no were else to go." Kane said as they rounded the corner. There they met Mary-Ann.

"Oh Kennedy, Nikona, I've been trying to find you for a while now. Come with me," both the girls let out deep breaths and followed the annoying woman. Soon they entered her office and sat down in the chairs they usually had.

"I wanted to talk about that boy you have had with you for some time now..."

"Raven?" Nina said and Kane as usually kept more quiet then a normal person.

"Yes that boy."

"What about him?"

"I don't now if he is proper enough to be allowed to spend time with you and your friends, he is a bit..."

"If you're gonna talk to anybody, kidnap Zach cuz he has real problems. Unlike us!" Kane said angrily and pulled Nina out of the room leaving a stunned shrink behind them.

"What are we gonna do?" Nina asked her from behind.

"We are gonna meet Mel and make sure she's not angry or more importantly, Raven is not angry at us," Kane said and they ran out on the street.

--

Raven walked down the street with one arm around Mel's waist and her leaning against him as the twins were walking before then arm in arm. The goblins were at both sides of them, glaring at any one looking at the family and girlfriend. They had so many bags around their wrists and in their arms that it almost looked hard to walk.

"Hey Ray." Mel suddenly said.

"Ray?"

"I got bored of calling you Raven all the time, now look," she said and pointed at a tattoo shop.

"Yeah, so?" he asked her.

"It would look good on you, tattoos are such a turn on," she said and gave him a little smile.

"Oh really? So you think I should get a tattoo? Of what?" he asked her.

"What about a dragon, Dad?" Jake said suddenly and Raven looked down at the young boy.

"On the back!" Julie said happily and gave one of her adorable smiles.

"Are you two listening to our private conversation?" he asked them.

"Yeah daddy." Julie said and she and Jake bent down their heads.

"Well done, I didn't notice it!" he said happily and gave them a hug.

"You're not mad?"

"No, I eavesdrop all the time myself" he said and gave them a brilliant smile.

"Keep an eye on them for me will ya, honey," he said and kissed Mel on her temple.

"One on each" she said and he walked inside.
