Chapter 2
The next morning at breakfast Hermione and Shelly sat together with Harry Ron and Ginny talking about how annoying some of the teacher can be when the morning post came. A grayish Eagle owl flew down and landed gracefully in front of Shelly.
"That's my dad's owl" She took the letter off it's leg and feed it a piece of bacon and petted her.
"What is the letter about?" Hermione leaned over to the owl and petted it too.
She opened it and read it quickly then gasped and got up handed the letter to Dumbeldore and shot out of the great hall sobbing. Dumbeldore read the letter and handed it to the Gryffendor head of house and settled the hall from the murmurs of whispers of that happened.
Meanwhile....
Shelly sat in her dorm with her headphones on, holding a picture of her mum, dad, sister, brother, and her over the summer in Cancun. "Why did this happen to me? Why? why? why?"
"What happened?" Hermione walked in to comfort her friend.
"She's gone" She broke into fresh sobs.
"Who's gone sweetie?" She hugged her friend close.
"My mum....s-s-she d-died this morning"
"Oh my god Shelly I'm so sorry"
"Thanks 'Mione" She barried her head in her friend's shoulder crying.
Still in the Great Hall
"What happened?" Draco turned to Pansy and Blaise.
"How should I know Drakie poo....and besides you keep interrupting me" She went on with the story she was telling him.
"Blaise can you sense anything?"
"Naw sorry man"
"Well try harder" He was getting worried about her.
"Aww man this is bad" Blaise shook his head.
"What's bad?"
"Her mum died last night Draco"
"Oh Merlin" He looked down and sighed thinking to himself. 'I need to do something to cheer her up'
.....a few weeks later.....
She stood on the steps waving goodbye to all her friends as they left for Christmas vacation. As soon as all the carriages were out of sit she walked toward the lake. She had come back yesterday from the funeral and wake of her mother disgusted how all the single friends of her mother were hanging all over her father and he was just flirting back with them. Her brother had a bloodly concert he needed to play and her sister was sobbing to much to talk.
She saw Draco sitting by the lake. 'Oh great'
"Hey Shelly" He waved.
"Hey" She sat down next to him.
"How is everything?" He saw her shivering and conjured a blanket and wrapped it around himself and her.
"Its been better. Why didn't you leave for Christmas break?" She cuddled closer to him.
"My mother is spending time as Pansy's house and my father in is Azkeban"
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know"
"Its ok I never liked him much"
"I never liked my dad either"
"Aaa something we have in common"
She laughed for the first time in a awhile. "You know your not that bad of a person once you start to show a nice side" She smiled up at him.
He smiled back "Thank you" He leaned down and kissed her.
She slapped him and stood. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!"
"I'm kissing you"
She shook her head. "I thought you were different" She ran away.
He slammed his fist into a tree splitting his knuckles. "Damn it why do I mess everything up?"
I OWN THING BUT SHELLY!!!!!!
