AN: Here you go people. Year four personally one of my favorites for harry so we make it interesting for Albus and Elipsia. I own nothing of Harry Potter except some wands, a few posters, and a set of bookmarks that don't come out of their box.

Bad Day

Elipsia met Albus and the Potter clan at the train station. She was exhausted from the late night before when Tom had to pull her out of bed to help with the rush of people that never seemed to stop. The train ride was quiet and nice. Elipsia didn't know she had fallen asleep till Albus shook her awake to get on the horseless carriages. On their carriage ride Elipsia brought up how the carriages were pulled and Albus always said magic but Iglesias said they were horse like creatures that you could only see if you watched someone die. Elipsia was glad she couldn't see the horses.

The week went by slowly as class after class dragged on and she desperately tried to look like she was struggling while trying to help Albus understand the classes. Classmates looked at her strangely and she kept her head down. Albus always talked to her with a huge smile on his face even if people hated the both of them.

"Elipsia?" Jensen's voice questioned one day when they were walking. She could feel the smile on her face that Albus said was always there when she talked to anyone.

"Yeah?" She said with a tiny smile on her face.

"I…I wanted to…umm…apologize. I knew you weren't a dark witch it's just…my sister never stops…and sometimes it just sinks in." He said with a sad sort of look on his face.

"It's ok. I think we have a class together. Let's go." Elipsia said happily as she walked with her reunited group of friends.

By the time their first weekend approached everything seemed fine to Elipsia. The trio and the snake walked the grounds throwing some stolen bread to the squid in the lake. On their way back to the castle was when they found trouble. Scorpio and his herd of followers stopped them in a flat clearing hardly a hundred yards from the school.

"Can't have a dark witch go and disturb the peace of our school now can we?" Scorpio said with an evil grin on his face.

"If anyone's dark Malfoy it's you." Albus said quickly reaching for his wand when he saw one of Scorpio's lackeys looking for his.

"You're to full of yourself Potter. You trust this girl and you don't really know anything about her. She is dark! She lived in Azkaban since she was born. You ask me they should take her back before she hurts someone." Scorpio said with an evil sneer.

"Did you happen to forget that your grandmother went to Azkaban? How does it feel to have family in jail?" Elipsia said sharply.

"We don't associate with my grandmother. She's crazy and twisted like you." Scorpio snapped.

"Really? Your father's mother was sent there. Crazy has to run in the family. You must wonder what's going to set you off to where you go off the deep end." Elipsia said with an evil sneer on her face.

"Expulso!" Scorpio shouted with his wand pointing at them. The explosion that followed shattered the tree not five feet from Albus. Elipsia reacted before she looked at the damage done to her friends.

"Derimo!" She screeched as the wind picked up and threw the boys into the range of the Whomping Willow. She turned away from the three Slytherins that were trying not to get beaten to a pulp by the angered tree, and finally looked at Albus who had several splinters and a decent sized chunk of the tree stuck kin his arm. "Are you ok?" She asked frantically.

"Great. I think people will start impaling their arms for fun in the near future." He said in a joking manner.

"I can take care of the small stuff I think but Madame Pomfrey will have to fix this." Elipsia said slowly.

"You can fix the little stuff soon if you'd like." Albus groaned.

"Episkey." She said quietly as the tiny scratched slowly healed over. "Now let's get you to the infirmary." Elipsia said with Jensen helping carry him to the castle.

Jensen and Elipsia sat quietly in the hall waiting for Madame Pomfrey to tell them Albus was fine. During their wait they saw three stretchers carrying the defeated Slytherins on them groaning in pain. They both knew there would be consequences to their little duel.

"Albus is fine, but he needs his rest." Madame Pomfrey said as Professor McGonagall walked up.

"Ms. Morte may I speak with you please." She asked waving Elipsia over. Elipsia followed her to a quiet room where no one could hear. "The Ministry has heard about this incident and they plan to take action. Mr. Malfoy has already been informed and is not pleased with his son injured by anyone. You must be prepared for what is going to come." She said in a quick string before she let Elipsia leave.

"I will do my best, Professor." Elipsia said with a sad tone to her voice.

"You can't be expelled, dear. Know that. You were protecting yourself and a friend, but you know there are other ways to protect those you love." Professor McGonagall said with sad eyes.

"I know, Professor." She replied staring at the floor.

"Keep your head up. Don't let them doubt you, understand?" The Professor said with a slight smile on her face.

"I'll try, Professor." Elipsia smiled as Professor McGonagall opened the door and let her out.

Elipsia walked back to the common room with Jensen, not truly expecting what would happen in the morning.

Everyone woke up feeling the chill that Elipsia didn't know she hated till she was away from it. Everyone was ready quickly but when anyone tried to open the door they stopped and the Fat Lady quickly swung closed. Elipsia moved to the front and told the rest of the Gryffindor house to back up. She pushed open the opening and stopped in her tracks when she saw the Dementor. She felt the cold she never wanted to feel again. Suddenly she was struck by courage.

"That's enough. The Gryffindor house would like to leave. Go sulk somewhere else." She said with more power than she thought. The hooded figure just stared at her slowly moving its head from side to side as if seeing if she would back down. It swooped closer to her face then drifted down the hall.

"That was amazing!" Jensen shouted as he ran past her then started to walk backwards.

"It was terrifying. I hate them." She said quietly feeling sad at just the thought of those things.

"It can't be that bad. You just have to scare them off." Jensen smiled happily.

"They killed my father." Elipsia said as she walked past her friend quickly.

"I'm sorry. I'll fix it. Watch ready. Ok so what do you think of being called Ellie? Elipsia is just kinda hard to say." Jensen said making her give a weak smile. "Told ya." He said with a shrug. "So where to Ellie?"

"Class. We have some potions to make I think. It doesn't help that we're late too." Elipsia said not sure if she liked being called Ellie.
