Next Chapter! Coming up!
Just to tell you, Peter M. Yemond is made up. Don't go looking in the HP books for him. *Giggle*



Esther came up to the door of Dumbledore's office, after climbing the long winding stairwell. Half scarred to enter, and half wanting to know what the rest of the school seem to know, she opened the door.

She was happy to find her Grandfather siting in his useal spot, Fawkes on his shoulder. Wendle sat in a seat, looking at her with a blank face.

Then in the other chair was a man she had never seen before. He was a short skinny man with blawing dark brown hair and dark dark brown eyes with thick glasses. He wore green plaid robes and a yellow wizard cap.

"Esther, this is Peter M. Yemond, Head of D.M.M.W. Deparment." Dumbledore stated as Peter's glasses fell off.

Peter nodded and put his glasses back on, " Deaths of Muggles Married to Wizards, that is."

Esther ignored that. She walked to to the desk,
"Grand-dad, what happened? Everyone knows something I don't." She paused, "And Snape was nice to me. Something happen?"
Dumbledore's eyes, usely held with the same happy-snap as Esther's, seemed solem and sad.
"Esther...." he said, "You mother was in a car acciendent this morning. She is serouily injured Your father sent a owl to Peter this morning."
"Esther?" Wendle sounded worried, "Gand-dad! She's going to faint"

Esther's mind went blank. She couldn't think, the world seem to go white. Then she fell into darkness.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Esther....."
Esther stirred in her sleep
"Esther....."
She blinked awake,
"Mum?"
She was in the hospital room. She looked up to see Fred and George sitting in chairs across from her.
"Hey Essie...." said George, "You okay?"
Esther sat up, "Yeah..I geuss."
Fred looked worried, "We heard aoubt your mum. Don't worry Esther, she more Wizard than Muggle. She'll pull through."
Esther sighed, Her mother, a pureblood muggle had loved magic before she acttuly knew it was real. She had often told Esther that her father was her Prince Charming, bring real magic in her life. When she found out that her father, Craven Dumbledore, was really a wizard, she didn't run away as Craven feared. Instead she loved all the more. When they married, the wizard world wondered if Larua Withel-Dumbledore was really a Muggle.

"Yeah your ,Muggle-mother will pull through..."said a sneering voice. Stepping out of the shadows a tall four-year Sytherian with long mud-brown hair and a nose that seem to be sqished into her face.
Fred & George glared at her but didn't want to make sceace in the hospital room, Esther however was tried hurt and angery,
"You better Get out of here Morgana. Or I'll hex you so bad you'll wonder weather or not you yourself or not."
Morgana Snize wrinkeld her squished nose,
"Stupid little flith.." She turned on her heel. Three agaist one wasn't a fight she'd take.

After Morgana left, Esther sighed, tears coming down her cheeks. Hiding her face in her hands she cried. The doors burst open and Ron slid in with Harry behind him.
"W-what....h-happened?" He said breathlessly, "Snape said you were in the hospital wing...."
Harry looked at Esther not saying anything. Ron however wasn't so quiet.
"Did somebody hex you Essie? Is that why your covering your face?"
Fred stood up and left Greoge comforting Esther.
"Come on Ron, Harry. I have to tell you something...."

After they had walked out of ear-shot esther cried all the more.
"Why did she go driving? Why? Where did she want to-" She broke into more tears. "Oh George...I don't know what to do...."
George didn't know what to say. What was there to say?

*~*~*~*~*~*

A few days later Esther was back in class. But most of her friends noticed that she was a bit more quiet that useal. She didn't pull pranks, she didn't even smile much anymore. She did spend more time in the libray, she poured over books on healing and charms to revive. Dumbledore had told her the Hogwarts Express would be stuck at station 9 3/4 till Chrismas.

"You need this?"
A small vocie pipped. Esther was in the libray again between Potions and Transfiguration. She looked over her book, a first year girl with rather bushy hair and large teeth was pointing to 'Kikwicks guide to: Herbals in the Witch life'
"Uh... no, you can have it."
The girl nodded and picked up the book.
"I'm Hermoine Granger. Your Esther Withel, arn't you?"
Esther nodded, "Yeah.....How did you know?"
Harry Potter been telling off Slytherans. Durning potions they talk bad about your Mum, Snape hasn't even stopped them."
Esther smiled, it was a very small one though, "And are you part of Harry's fan-club?"
Hermoine shrugged, and Esther set down the book she was reading, "Even if you were, it's not that bad. Half the girls in this school has a crush on Harry."
Hermoinie shook her head, "I'm too smart to be Harry's firend." She seemed to want to change the subject, "Why are you reading about healing? It's about your Mum isn't it?"
Esther the small smile faded, "Why?"
"You can't bring her back to life, and healing charms are VERY hard to do. Only Wizard that are trained Aide wizards do those. Their only used to bring people back from near death."
Esther didn't anwser, and Hermoine sighed, "Sorry. Maybe I'll see you later?"
Esther looked down at her books. Hermoine seemed hurt, and started to walk away.
"Hey Hermoine!"
She truned around, Esther ruturn a small smile again,
"See ya."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Esther walked down the halls when Harry bolted passed her,
"Whoa! Harry!" She stopped him, "Where are you going?"
Harry smiled when he saw Esther half-way cheerful,
"Down to herbolgy."
Esther nodded, "Look I heard what you have been telling the Slytherains. Thanks."
Harry nodded, "Sure. I mean my mom was a muggle too." He paused, "a muggle-witch but....I mean...ummm-"
Esther saw he was tring to make her feel better and stopped him, "It's okay Harry. Now you hurry to Herblogy, and Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Try and be nice to Hermoine Granger. Okay?"


*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Esther tossed and turned in her bed. Her dreams were eached with memories of her mother.
"Esther....."
A white light flashed, and a lady in white with long brown hair was come towards her.
Esther......"
More memories,

"Mom Slow down!"
"Now you'll have to catch us Wenny! Faster Essie!"

"Esther....."

"Mom, you'll alway be here right?"
"Don't be silly Essie, mom'll be around for a long time."
"I dont know sweetie. Things don't last forever."

"Esther......"

The white figure came closer, was it calling her?

"Esther......"
Esther sat stright up,
"Mum?"
