Chapter 29
"I'm so sorry. I know you've got your own troubles right now, you didn't need me telling you all this I just didn't know where else to go and the girls are in class," said Ellouise running a hand through her hair messing up her hair. "I just didn't know where else to go."
"It's alright Ellouise I'm glad you did come here." said Hagrid. "You can all ways come here you and Harry both know that. Is he with Lily and James still?"
"I guess so. Hagrid things are so messed up. I don't know what I do or where I go from here. I thought I could always depend on Fred but they just like most things I got it wrong."
"Drink this," he said giving her some tea. "You did not get it wrong, they did. They're missing out not you. Elle they're going to need you before you need them."
"Thanks but I'm not sure how much that helps right now. Why has this happened? Do you reckon I did some thing bad in a forma life and this is just my punishment, do I deserve all this, is it my fault?"
"You have got to stop this now. You are the kindest, most loving, prettiest girl I know Ellouise. Give this new family a go Ellouise. It might turn out well." he told her and she breathed in the scent of the tea deeply.
"I guess so. I'm just really scared right now. Can a girl have a hug please?" she said and rested her head in to the giants shoulder. "I'm glad you're here Hagrid."
"So am I but I promise you Elle, it will be ok." he comforted her. The child was distraught.
"Everyone keeps saying that then how is it I don't believe things will ever be alright again?" she sobbed.
Later that day she went back to the castle and she saw Angelina.
"Yeah so to cut a long story short me and Fred are an item again," she raised her voice gloating at Ellouise. Katie Bell who had just turned the corner in to thee corridor heard it too.
"Shut up Angel!" said Katie who rushed too Elle when she saw her. "You're a jerk! Leave Ellouise alone for what you and Fred did you deserve each other! Get lost!"
Angel went off in a huff but how wrong she was about Fred wanting her back. Seducing Fred hadn't been easy. But she'd done it hadn't she and now he had lost the love of his life. Not that she wanted to admit that was Ellouise.
"Are you ok?" asked Katie. "What they did was low."
"I know, I'm probably better off with out him," she said with her eyes sparkling with yet more tears. They just weren't going to stop flowing today were they? "I'll see you later Katie" said Elle un willing to let her see her cry.
On her way back to the common room she saw her uncle.
"I'm sorry," he said immediately.
"It's ok," said Elle. "In fact no its not ok. You lied. You hurt me, you cheated me and you dis honoured Vanessa's memory. She would be so hurt if she was here today."
"I know but I never intended to hurt you, either of you!" said Vernon through his tears, "I never let my self grieve for Vanessa so today I lost both my daughters. You two seem like twins in my eyes. And now I've lost both of you!"
"And I'm meant to feel bad for you! I was never yours to lose!"
"No of course not!"
"Good because I don't feel bad for you, you brought this on your self. Has Dudley come round?"
"No, not yet. He's going to your grandpas for a few weeks it's going to be hard for him to forgive us," stated Vernon.
"Its going to be hard for all of us to forgive you, both of you!" said Elle angrily.
"I never wanted to hurt you darling!" said Vernon.
"No your sorry your plan failed. I'm not your darling any more."
Vernon was stunned. She had never once been so blunt or cold towards him.
"Me and your aunt are leaving now," he told her his bag was in his hand.
"I'll see you around then. I will miss you though." she admitted before walking away. But she didn't look back.
Walking through the school she decided she would go and see Remus. He was cool and he was her godfather. Arriving at the classroom she heard laughter. Sirius, James and Lily were with him, maybe she shouldn't't disturb them.
"Hey kiddo," she heard Sirius call to her noticing her befoe she could get away.
"Hey," she said. Sirius sat with his arm out so she could crawl in to his side which she did willing. Closing her eyes she smiled. Every adult in her new family made her feel happy.
"How you feeling."
"Better."
Sirius found it hard to get used to human contact again. But the young girl gave it to him so easily, affection. And she needed it returned.

"Do you two have too leave so soon?" asked Ellouise at the train station the next day.
"Its for the best, love. Me and Dudley need too get settled again." said Marcus to her and Harry. Lily and James were had said good bye already. They were getting ready to return to the Den.
"You'll visit?" she asked.
"Wild dogs couldn't get us away!" said her grandpa.
"See you later grandpa," said Harry.
"See you soon, son. I love you Ellouise." said Marcus.
"Me too, bye Dudley," said Ellouise.
"See you later Elle," he replied. "Bye buddy."
"Bye dud," said Harry.
As they got on the train and him and his grandfather left the new siblings on the platform.
"We're going to be ok sister," said Harry wrapping his hands around her waist.
"I know big brother," said Elle sadly as the train left the station.
Later that week it was the leaving feast and everyone cheered as it was announced that Gryffindor had won both the house and Quidditch cup that year and Ellouise's spirits raised up! May be things would turn out for the better after all?
A/n: sorry this chapter is kind of short but it's just tying up a few loss ends. This was posted in honour of Dante Lewis birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Taeniaea and Sarahamanda: Thank you!
Dante Lewis: happy birthday to begin with! Yay for you!
Yeah, well Vernon's life has been focused on her for so long now he just doesn't really notice Dudley as terrible as it is? I mean how bad do you feel for poor Dud?
Poor Elle I know! How I could do that to her I don't know but things are looking up now! Fred is a prize git isn't he and as for Angel I hate her! As for her forgiving him not just yet and they will not be back together for a while I think it is safe to say that much!
We get to thee Den in the next chapter! 85 pages? Ahh text book may just be my worst night mare! Take a break to day!
DrunkenBuddie: yep he is a prize bugger if you'll excuse my language.
IamSiriusgrl: I total agree! Me too! Yep, it's all change.
Paula: I love your view on the story it's just so different from every one else's but I really love that you sum up Petunia so well. It's just so great. She has always been the underdog, to Lily and Ellouise. Lets face it she could have done worse at raising Harry and Elle right? I love Dudley in this story I feel so sorry for him he is such a victim here. Yeah the kids do need each other desperately but I also think they need time by them selves to get there heads round it all.
Thanks for reviewing everyone!
