Chapter 2

As Ellouise got up the next morning she was glad to see that the storm was over. She wondered what classes she would have that day. She would not get her time table till she got to breakfast.

After her shower she went downstairs to the common room where she found Harry, Ron ,Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Emily all waiting for her.

"Come on slow coach," smiled Harry from was he was standing.

It was funny sometimes how much there relationship had changed over the summer. The title 'sister' and 'brother' seemed a lot more personal than cousin's. He had become more protective, he had never really had a family before and now he did he was not going to lose them.

"Sorry but a girl has to wash ok?" she laughed.

"I know that," he rolled his eyes.

"Come on, I'm hungry!" said Ron.

She walked next to Neville unaware he was looking at her. He had developed what you might call quite a crush on the girl over the time he had stayed at her house in the summer. Not that she knew or he'd admit it.

That day was a Wednesday as September the first that year had fallen on a Tuesday.

Getting her timetable she saw what she had.

Transfiguration to begin with, followed up by potions before break.History of magic would come after wards and then she had a free lesson and then astronomy late at night. Cool she thought. Not a bad day.

Transfiguration went well as it always did. She was best at that and McGonagall was often kind to her.

However potions went uncommonly bad. She had a really awful lesson and it seemed Snape would be catching up on bullying her.

"Tut, tut miss potter," He had sneered at her. "The potion was meant to be brown not blue. 5 points from Gryffindor. "

"He's just an evil git," Emily reassured her as they left the class room.

History was as boring as usual. She spent the class passing notes between herself and Emily.

So……

So what em…………

I know you really do not want to talk or write about this but did you hear from your uncle or aunt over the summer?

Your right Em, I don't want to talk about this

Oh come he must have tried.

No he didn't. Not once, nothing

But -Elle why are you looking so upset?

I really don't know. Am I the biggest bitch in the world if I say I want to see him?

You what?

I don't know em, maybe he's grieving for Vanessa but I just thought if I meant anything to him he would have tried to get me back!

You are happy at your mum and dads right?

Yes you know I love it there.

Then why?

I don't know, I think its just. …….We ………..I don't know. He was special to me.

If he asked you to go back would you?

NO. I love the guys too much; I just miss them, sometimes.

That day was horrid for the marauders.

There was no girlish laugh from Ellouise and no eager to play Quidditch Harry.

Sirius and Remus were in short, bored out there brains. They had not been away from the kids in six weeks and now they weren't about at all, it was to weird!

Sirius decided as a last resort he would read the daily prophet and that gave him an idea.

"Remmie?"

"What Sirius?" said Remus so bored he even forgot to tell Sirius off for calling him 'Remmie.'

"Do you remember when we were younger when we used to read the lonely hearts add and make fun of the losers who put stuff there?"

"Yeah!" said Remus. That had been so funny.

"Do you want to do it now?"

"Alright!"

So the two fully grown men opened up the newspaper and began to read it.

They were about half was through the list when Sirius came across a familiar name.

Melanie Hill.

"God Sirius," breathed Remus.

"Lord," said a equally shocked Sirius.

"You two were going to get married!"

"I know we were Remus!"

Sirius couldn't believe it. They had been Hogwarts sweetheart him and Melanie. He had loved her to the full moon and back again. She had been ecstatic when he proposed.

"I have to find her!" said Sirius.

He knew it was a long shot, but the entire wizarding world now knew he was free! He had written to her several times from his cell at Azkaban. Every letter had come back unopened.

"Do you reckon I should?" he said. He still loved his Mel with all his heart but... She was single he knew that much.

"Yes," said Remus positively. "You are mad if you don't!"

"I guess so!" he said and rushed to get a piece of parchment. This was fate calling him. Things were on the up and besides if she didn't want him he had Harry as a back up plan. Mel was his godmother after all.

As she stood in the middle of the living room that had been her home for so long Petunia couldn't help but feel sad.

All that was left now was the paper on the walls. She was selling up at Pivret drive.

No more ghosts.

But as she looked around the room, all she saw was ghosts.

One year old Ellouise walking for the first time.

Two year old Dudley spilling his drink.

Three year old Harry sleeping on the coach.

Thirty three year old Vernon, telling her he loved her.

Leaving her home was never going to be easy but she knew it was time to move on. She felt tears burn in her eyes.

"No more ghosts," she whispered picking up her bag and going out to the small car she had bought for her self. It was time to move on.

Driving away, she didn't look back.
