Chapter 5

Melanie Hill sat in a small café in Diagon alley as she saw her first true love for the first time in years.

Last year with him on the run had been hard for her. She had been worried sick.

He was still a handsome bugger though. He had long black hair and a healthy glow now he had been nourished a bit.

He was wearing midnight blue robes. He looked so good almost like on the day they had there leavers ball.

But his eyes had changed. Azkaban had taken the spark they once had.

"Hello darling," he said as he reached the table,

His voice which had haunted her for so long now hadn't changed.

"I missed you," she said.

"Could have fooled me. What was it 10, 20 letters," he said bitterly. "Why didn't you fight for the kids?"

"I'd lost you-"

"And Harry and Elle were orphans," he said bitterly. He didn't know why he was getting so angry. He'd been so excited but now…

"I can't do this. Sorry for mucking you around…" he said and turned round… he couldn't do this. He was betraying the kids.

"So all we gave had all day is Spew this and spew that," said Ron to Elle over dinner making her laugh.

"Don't be mean!" said Elle seeing Hermione enter the great hall she added. "her hearts in the right place."

"Yeah our ears are suffering for it sis," said Harry.

She shook her head. The boys were truly awful.

"You'll join wont you Elle," said Hermione as she sat dom. "S.P.E.W?"

"Yeah why not, give us a badge," said Elle.

"Give Emily one too-"

"No way!" said Elle's best friend.

"Don't be evil!" said Elle to Emily.

But they subsided in to laughter. Spew was just too funny.

Hermione scowled at them. "What, I thought you'd understand not like your brother." said Hermione disapprovingly.

"That hurt," laughed Emily.

Dear Elle,

How ware you? I'm going to be at grandpas all year. Hope your well.

Dud.

Elle shut her eyes. Not half as full as there had got there letters to each other last year. But so much has changed her head roared at her, and it was beginning to show.

Elle put it in her draws. A reply would want till morning. But then she thought, if she had got a letter from him last year, she had never hesitated to reply.

So picking up her quill she began to write.

Hey ya cuz,

I'm well, hope you are too.

Her head told her tot write to him and ask him how their- his parents were. She couldn't really hold it back. Once again tears filled her eyes and she longed Vernon and petunia.

She through down her quill angry at her self. She had a new life now. She had to forget the, why now she thought to herself. She had been fine through the summer.

Blinking back and holding her emotion in, she continued.

How's grandpa. Are you still going to school?

There grandfathers was quite a trek from his school.

Love always, Elle

Then she wrote here diary,

Dear diary,

I wanna go home; I want to go to the den. I don't like it here right now. Maybe it'll get easier as term goes on but when I don't feel comfortable when writing Dudley what else is going to go right?

Wanna cry right now,

Elle.

"You did what," said lily sympathetically.

"I got there and I just got mad lily. I couldn't do it., she should have took the kids," said Sirius.

"And you should have kept your temper but you didn't so sorry but you're the pot calling the kettle black!" said lily using the old muggle phrase.

"What?"

"Just re-schedule the date Sirius, even if you don't go ii will!" said lily "she was my best mate!" said lily before turning softer. "Every one needs second chances. Imagine if me and James hadn't have been given ours."

"Elle wouldn't know," lily just shook her head.

"She wouldn't of. I'd be just 'dead aunt lily'."

Sirius nodded. Seeing it like this he knew he had to try it again.

11111111111111111111111111

Mel sat in front of the fire place. Sirius was running through her head.

He was right, but he should have been there for her. She hadn't coped.

And the n of course, she had gone on the re-bound. He had no idea she had had Beth.

It had always just been her and Beth; she had tried to find Beth a dad when her biological father hadn't wanted a family but no one stuck around for them.

After sending an owl to her daughter, Mel went to bed. But there was no way she could sleep.

11111111111111111111111111111111

Dear Beth,

Hey honey, how are you? Well that date didn't go as planned but I think I'm going to call him and try again. This guys special Beth.

mum

Beth rolled her eyes. They were always special!

"You ok?" said Elle from where she was sitting.

"Fine," lied Beth. Why did her mum need a man to define herself? Mel was an independent woman. She didn't need a man in her daughter's eyes.

1111111111111111111111

She smiled. She couldn't help it. Finally she was getting hre life back together again.

She had a nice flat, car and now a job.

Yes, well maybe it was just receptionist's job, but it was independence.

She was set up for her new life, butt there was just one thing she had to take forward with her.

If he would. Her son.

Petunia was a hard woman, but she really was missing her Dudley.

He had his room at the flat and yes he would have to leave school to join her but...why had she left it so long.

Plus on top of that as soon as she had enough money she was going to do the top of her to -do list.

File for a divorce.

"Not a bad lesson," said Emily as they left defence for the first time as second years.

"I guess not, but I'm bias to moony," she said. Moody was not a patch on Remus in her eyes.

As they arrived in the great hall Harry looked at her with an evil glint in his eye.

"Feel like a trip in too Hogsmeade?" he asked his sister.

"Harry, she's a second year!" said the ever proper Hermione.

"There really is no end to this girl's knowledge," teased Ron.

Harry passed her a letter.

Dear Harry,

How are you son? I hope your well, and settled back alright. Tell your sister to write; only moony has heard from her so far.

You've got a Hogsmeade trip coming up. Do you want to meet up with me, Padfoot, moony and mum?

Love,

Dad

Ps. If your sister should get her hands on the map and cloak on the day of the trip…well need I say more?

Elle shook her head. She knew what her dad wanted.
