Chapter 6: Leaving Home.

Three days later Elle was on the mend. The doctor had come round and said that she had caught the flu. Luckily he had also said she was to have complete peace and quite to get better so that meant Marge and her mum had to take the boys out, who Elle felt sorry for while her father took leave of work to take care of her.

Together they actual had a very good time. They watched home videos and films. As she was ill tears came easily to Elle and her dad held her close many times. Some times she wished she had said no to Hogwarts. It was only then she realized that a family that loves you and takes care of you when you are sick that was real magic. A spell that never ends even when you are not chanting spells or brewing potions. It never needs refreshing. It was the best spell ever.

Ellouise had decided that the night after Aunt Marge went home she would tell her family about Hogwarts. She didn't know at the time that the night after Aunt Marge went home that she would already be living her new life.

Aunt Marge's last day seemed to take an age to come and Elle was so glad when it did. She treated Harry like a slave and in doing so, earned her nieces hate.

"Can I tempt you Marge?" Said her Father, bringing two glasses over with some brandy after the meal was over.

"Just a small one." Said the vile women. "Excellent nosh, Petunia." she said clicking her fingers at Harry who cleaned up her mess. Elle hated her. She hated her!

"Yeah it was lovely thanks mum." Complemented Elle.

"Usual just a fry up for me what with 12 dogs." That explains the weight thought Elle. "A bit more that's a boy."

"What are you smirking at?" Marge asked Harry who just shrugged. "Where is it you send the boy Vernon?"

"St. Brutus it's a fine institution for hopeless cases." Lie.

"Do they use a cane at this school boy?" asked a tipsy Marge.

"Oh yeah." Harry humored her." I've been beaten loads of times." Elle and Dudley smiled at each other. Good old Harry, how much of an idiot was their aunt?

"Good. I won't have this rubbish about not beating people who deserve it. But you mustn't blame yourself for how this one turned out Vernon its all to do with blood. Bad blood will out. What was it the boy's father did, Petunia?" Cow thought Elle. What a cow.

"He didn't work." said Elle's mother uncomfortablely. "He was unemployed."

Harry tried to hold his tongue. He tried reazlly hard.

"And a drunk too, no doubt." Said Marge.

Nope, he couldn't do it, she was going to far today. He could take it when she found fault with him but she had never even met is mother or father and had no right to say what she was. She had never even met them.

"That's a lie." Harry told her with rage in his voice. He could no longer hide it.

"What did you say." said Marge shocked he had spoken back to her.

"My dad wasn't a drunk." With that that lights seemed to flicker and Aunt Marge's brandy glass broke causing Petunia to scream and Dudley and his dad to jump.

"I think its time you went to bed." Vernon told Harry.

"No. shh, quiet Vernon." ordered Marge. "You, clean it up." Harry did as he was told. Elle was repulsed by her aunt.

"Actual it's nothing to do with the father; it's all to do with the mother. If there's something wrong with the bitch there's something wrong with the pup."

"SHUT UP!" Cried Harry. "SHUT UP!"

"Auntie Marge." Said Ellouise who was now fuming and standing next to Harry. "If there was something wrong with my aunt Lily then there has to be something wrong with my mum. After all as you put it they were from the same "bitch"." she said sticking up for Harry.

"Elle stay out of this." h er aunt commanded. "Now let me tell you." She said pointing her fat finger and Harry when the strangest thing happened. She blow up. Literally. It was then Ellouise understood why her dad thought magic was a bad thing.

It was then Harry touched her arm forcing her to come out her thoughts. She knew what was coming.

"No. Not now. Please Harry I've not told them, I can't just leave." she begged.

"Babe, I'm so sorry but if we don't go now we never will. Honey." He said sympathetically. "Its time."

Tears shone in her eyes but she understood. "Ok."

They ran in to there rooms Harry got his trunk and Elle her bag. She looked around one last time. A picture caught her eye. It was her and her dad. The frame said "daddy and his princess" and it broke her heart. She loved him so much. She put it in her bag. She wanted to have a part of him with her. Forever.

"Ready." Asked Harry from the door way where he stood.

"Sure." She said. Her actress skills had to be used now.

They ran downstairs where they meet her father who was clearly angry with harry.

"You put her right!" her father yelled in Harry's face. "You bring her back and you put her right."

"No." said Harry pointing his wand at Vernon. "She deserved what she got." But then his daughter caught his eye.

"Princess. What are you doing?" He asked noticing her bag.

"Daddy I'm so sorry but Harry's school sent me an acceptance letter. I'm going." she said walking out the door hand in hand with her cousin blinking back her tears and heartache. Her father caught her arm.

"Please. My darling, don't do this." He begged.

She turned to her cousin

"One minute." She begged him. Just one minute, that was all she wanted.

Harry knew they had to get out of there but she had to say good bye.

"I'll be outside." Harry said walking out.

"Dad I have to do this. I wish I didn't but I do. This is what I want. Its best for me. But god don't you for one minute think I won't miss you, mum and dud cause I will." Her crown pressed against his as he cradled her face.

"But I love you." He said with his voice breaking with emotion.

"And I love you daddy! I love you with all my heart but I have too. I am sorry." She moved to the door hurriedly. "Tell mum and Dudley that I love them and that I didn't mean to disappoint the family." she siad before running out.

Harry put an arm over her shoulder in comfort as they walked off and kissed her brow as tears spilled out of her eyes. Part of her wanted nothing more than to turn round and enter her father's embrace. But she had to be strong. Hogwarts was her destiny now and she knew it.
