Chapter 3

Elle was happy with the classes she had the next day. She had flying first thing which of course as a member off the potter family she loved.

"Nice landing Potter," said Hooch as she touched down.

"Thanks miss," she said as she ran off to put her broom in her trunk before she had history of magic

"Hi!" she said passing her brother on the way up to the Gryffindor's common room. "What have you got now?"

"DADA," said Harry. "First one of the new term!" she knew Harry's favorite subject was Defense. He needed it with the scraps he got himself in too.

She loved it too but then again that was because of her godfather had been such a great teacher. She loved him and missed him so much now.

"What about you?" he asked.

"History of magic, again."

"Have fun!" teased Harry.

"Shut up!" she giggled and run off to her dorm but when she got there she found Beth. She was crying.

Last year Beth and Ellouise had been mates for a bit but then things had gone sour between them, but Elle didn't like seen her upset, even so.

"What's up?" she asked her voice thick with genuine concern.

Contemplating telling Elle to push off, Beth decided in the end not to.

"My mum," she said sadly. "She makes a prat of herself every time." Beth said. "Men aren't that great."

"I know."

"Could have fooled me the way you go round with Fred."

"Went, Beth," smiled Elle. "We split up."

"You found out about the kiss then," said Beth in a matter of fact kind of way.

"What do you mean, I saw it of course I found out," said Ellouise. She went to her trunk and put her broom away.

"You can't have," said a shocked Beth.

"Why not?" replied Ellouise.

"You were at home at the time," said Beth in the way Hermione might.

"I didn't go home last year-when did this happen?" said Ellouise.

"Last Christmas, maybe early January"

Elle felt sick in the way she hadn't since she had found Angel and Fred in the common room. So it hadn't been just the once, Fred had lied to her yet again.

"Are you alright, you didn't know about that kiss did you?" said Beth.

"No," said Ellouise shaking her head. "I didn't know about that kiss. So what's your mum done?"

"Put an add din the lonely hearts column," said bath passing her a copy of the daily prophet.

"Your mums called Melanie?" said Elle raising her eyebrow."

"Yeah," said Beth in reply picking up her book bag.

"Cool name."

With that the two girls left for History of magic for the second class of the year.

Elle didn't write notes this time though. She thought.

How could he of done that too her? She had been burying her grandfather- Dudley's grandfather, rather.

He had said he would be there for her, and really he had been but, even so.

Elle just shook her head. It was going to be a long year.

Sirius looked down on the piece of paper. Well blow him down. Mel had agreed to meet him.

He was nervous but, then again he couldn't wait. It was going to be like all the first times, all over again.

First time holding hands, first kiss, first date, first time sleeping together.

It was going to be magical, even by wizarding standards.

Though he was scared it wouldn't work out though. When he thought of all the things they had planned. The wedding that was going to take place on Christmas day (Elle's first Christmas), and then the huge family they had wanted. Sirius could off been dad by now if he had kept this temper.

What if they had nothing in common?

'But you do' said a little voice in his head Sirius head. If all else failed they could indeed talk about there god son.

Dudley sat in his room at his grandpas and look down on a piece of paper. He was going to write to Elle up at Hogwarts.

The only problem is he just didn't know what to put anymore. He had often complained of there mum and dad in his letters to Ellouise last year but now…

Everything had changed.

Would she even want to here from him? In the summer there relationship had been more distanced while she had grown closer to Harry. And Dudley hated Harry for that. But half of Dudley wondered why he didn't see them coming closer sooner.

Even when they were kids growing up with his parents Harry had always been her favourite, Dudley was sure of it, just look at how quickly she left for Hogwarts when he told he to go.

Maybe he was just being stupid. Maybe she did love him, but he didn't think so. How could she after what his family put her through?

"Been wonderin' when I'd be seeing you," said the giant as he opened the door.

"Hagrid!" said Ellouise thrilled as she through her arms round his waist and embraced her friend.

"Missed you too," he said brushing her off. "wanna cuppa?" he asked.

This was what she really loved about the giant; he was in so many ways, a grandfather to her now, or a grandfather figure. He was always ready with a cup of tea to chat over when she turned up to see him.

He was so different Marcus as well. Marcus was a firm man and strict. He had been a good grandpa and never hit or brought them upon herself or her two brothers but, well he was sometimes to firm with his rules.

And Hagrid didn't know the meaning of the word 'rules'.

"Yes please!" she said cheerfully sitting down. "It's so good to see you."

"And you too lass, how yer been?"

"Ok," she smiled.

"Now honest answer," he said rising his big eyebrows. He still remembered how upset she had been last term when everything had come out.

"It was hard at times, but in the end…I had the best summer ever," she smiled.

"Good ter see yer so 'appy Elle. I missed that about yer last term," he said.

"Well I'm back. And ready cause more trouble than ever," she said giving him a cheeky wink.
