Letters

I woke up and decided I was done with not knowing. I took a piece of paper out of a drawer and started writing with my quill.

J

I don't care what is happening, just tell me you are fine. Have you heard anything about Liz?

I quickly stuffed the short letter into my pocket and put my supplies away. Not a moment to soon for Remus walked through the door as I shut the drawer.

"Looking for this?" He held my wand justoutof my reach, "You will only get it back if you don't use it to curse any one of the residents here."

I nodded until he gave me back my wand. "Now, where did that weasle go?"

"Elenza," Remus warned.

I held up my hands in defeat and walked out of the kitchen. I made sure no one was in the room before slipping outside into the frosty morning. I wanted to run and never look back. Let me make a point that what I wanted to do and what I did are two different things. I found myself walking up the street and then whistling. My falcon flew down and landed on my covered arm.

"Artemis, I need you to take this to Jayden. Be careful and try not to be seen."

I stroked his head and put the letter in a pouch that you had to touch and/or know it was there to see. I watched as he flew off and out of sight. I walked, slowly, back into the house where I saw a furious Remus and an exasperated Tonks, everyone else seemed to be still asleep.

"Where have you been?" Remus asked in his deadly whisper. I would so much enjoy him shouting instead but, no Remus knew how to make people feel guilty.

"For a walk," I responded shrugging.

"Does it not occure to you that you are wanted? That Death-Eaters could be standing on the street waiting for you, for any of us!"

"Yes, it has occured to me. It has also caught my attention that Harry and the Weasle can get away with anything! I was defending my friend for the umpteenth time and for the umpteenth timeyou have stopped me from doing it properly." I retorted seething with unbidden rage.

"You must get along if you are to live and be protected in this house," Remus said still in his evil, quiet tone.

"Well, maybe I'm tired of being protected when others aren't!"

Remus stormed up to his bedroom without another word. Guess he didn't need to add anything for Tonks did, "He wants to save the others. He has to start some where and he chose to start with you."

She left me feeling nothing but remorse and guilt. I hate those feelings beyond all others, besides fear. The day went on every one had lunch, minus Remus. I read through out the day, again, not that I'm complaining. When Remus didn't show up for dinner I started to worry and went upstairs and knocked on his door, hestitantly.

"Come in," I took a steading breath before I walked in. He was seated in a chair reading and writing something. I came and sat on his bed looking at the ground.

"Remus, I-I'm sorry," I stuttered.

"You were just expressing your feelings," He responded shortly still writing.

I sighed and came over and sat on the edge of his desk, "I over reacted. I'm stressed. It's leaving my nerves raw. I am grateful for you keeping me out of trouble."

Remus just sat there staring blankly at his paper. "No more. No more running off with out permission," He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "You're forgiven." He stood up and gave me a hug until he realized a falcon was trying to get through his window.

Like I said before fate curses the content. Remsu let go of me and walked to his window. He looked around and seeing no one he opened the window. The falcon flew over to me and rubbed his beak against my arm.

"You just had to come now, didn't you?" I whispered.

"You have a falcon?" Remus asked.

"I find them more intelligent, faster, and prettier than owls."

I took a piece of paper out of the pouch.

E

I'm so glad you're alright. They won't let me leave, stupid personages. I haven't heard anything about Liz yet, though I guess no news is better then bad news.

They tried to force me into a DRESS! Don't worry Crabbe or Goyle ended up wearing it, who ever the tall one is, I never could tell them apart. Draco is being pleasant, no bodily harm has come to him, though I put a bouncing charm on him after I threw him off the Astronomy Tower. Don't look at me like that! He came and told me my Daddio wanted to see me.

Oh, I heard about mum and dad. What ever you do DON'T go any where near the house. They are watching that street like hawks. Oh, thanks for sending Artemis, they check the bloody owls. Everyone thought Artemis was my pet. I went along with it and told them that he goes and hunts off Hogwarts' grounds, said the owls annoy him.

Be safe. Don't do anything stupid (that's my job, Ravenclaw).

After I finished reading I ran to the Drawing Room, Remus running after me. I found Ron sitting on a couch with Ginny and Harry. I shook the letter in Ron's face.

"Take that you weasle! She's under freakin' house arrest. She doesn't like Voldemort," I all but screamed.

"What are you talking about, Elenza?" Ginny asked. I always liked her, the only Weasley girl always gave credit to her red hair. She was loyal to her friends but, don't get her angry,very bad idea.

"Why would she warn me? Why would she caree about my mum and dad?" I threw questions at the dumbstruck Ron, still shaking the letter in my fist.

By now the room was full with all the residents. Remus tried to hold me back but, I shook him off. Harry stood up and said, "Calm down. Who are you talking about? What is that?"

I gave over the letter, reluctantly. I watched as everyone read the letter. The silence and tension grew with every pass of the letter.

"You sent a letter?" Sirius laughed, "Why don't you just put up a big sign, 'Refugees Are Here'!"

"Why do you think I went for that walk?" I retorted bitterly.

"So, you put first your life-"

"-And now everyone's-"

"-At risk?" Fred and George stated.

"He wanted proof and I got it!" I said nodding to Ron.

"What does this prove, that she is loyal to you? That helps the rest of us, thanks a million!" Ron stated.

"If I had any where else to go trust me I wouldn't be staying here! If you want to settle this matter let's fight one-on-one. Oh, and no wands," I snarled, he was really pissing me off.

"What kind of deul has no wands?" Ron asked.

"Elenza, please don't," I heard Harry and Remus plead but, I shook my head.

"Fine," Ron stated.

I gave my wand to Remus with a smile as Ron gave his to Harry. Everyone made a wide circle around us. Ron made his move to soon and I side-stepped and tripped him. He got up and punched me in my stomach. I could hear, faintly, people gasping. I took Ron's shoulders and kneed him in the gut. We went on like this for about five minutes until he had me pinned on the ground.

"Yield," he gasped.

I shook my head and bit his hand holding my wrist. I was the one on top now and I asked the question. He surrendered. Immediatly I was pulled off of him. Remus took me back to his room while Tonks healed Ron. I sat on the bed as Remus mended my broken nose, black eye and the cut on my wrist.

"He had it coming, Remus, I would even take on the whole house if they acted like Ron," I said breaking the silence.

"You just had to find a way, didn't you?" Remus said.

"I didn't use my wand."

"You'll be lucky if they don't throw you out."

"They'll be hypocrites if they do. They take in refugees, street rats, not throw them out."

"None of the 'street rats' has caused so much trouble. Their scared, this is their last place to go and you might have cut their time here even shorter."

"Fine, take their side see what I care."

"I'm seeing it from both views."

"So, I'm fully in the wrong?"

"No, Ron has had that coming to him. Yes, in the fact that you shouldn't have sent that letter." He gave me a hug and I went to my room. I laid on my bed and smiled, Weasle looked so funny with a bloddy lip, black eye, and a bleeding wrist sprawled on the ground like that.
