Chapter thirteen
James is coming to my house for Christmas! Yay! So excited!
Oooh, aren't you a bit young for that Lily?
Ellie you have a sick mind.
I do not! Shut up
Whatever. He wants to take me to Hogsmeade on the 23rd.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Yay for you.
What's up with you?
I don't know. I'm stressed.
About…
Tell us.
Well, my parents; they were in an accident.
Oh my god, what happened?
They were in a car crash.
Why were they driving?
For some reason, they decided to drive up to Cornwall to visit my Auntie and uncle. Something about loving the picturesque views that they would see on the drive. My Dad is not a good driver, and some idiot crashed into them.
Oh god.
My Dad isn't doing too well, and my Mum, well…
Oh my god. What happened?
She didn't make it. They say that Dad is fighting; she doesn't have much of a chance. He went mad with grief. I think he'll become a permanent patient in St. Mungos.
Are you ok?
I'm fine.
How can you be though?
I'm fine.
Do you want to talk about it?
No.
You sure?
Yes. I'm going out.
Where?
Out.
…
She's gone. That is so weird. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews being gone? Forever? That is so weird.
You already said that.
I know. I was just emphasizing my point.
She never said her dad was gone.
She said he's basically hanging by a thread, and he's gone mad.
What are we supposed to do?
Let's find her.
How are we going to do that? Hogwarts is massive.
I have connections.
What do you mean?
Potter.
You're saying he'll be able to tell us where Ellie is?
Yeah.
How?
Don't worry. I'll be back in a minute.

Diarecordium Spell.
"Hey James." Lily said, sitting down on James' bed.
"Why are you here in my bedroom?" he asked,
"I need your help. I need to find someone."
"And what makes you think I'll be able to help you with that?"
"Don't play stupid James I saw your map thing the other day. Someone had left it open."
"Peter, he always forgets to shut it. Who do you need to find?"
"Ellie."
"Oh, I know where she is. I don't need the map for that."
"Where is she?"
"She's flying."
"Flying? How do you know?"
"I just saw her, I went to ask her about your… something for Remus."
"Okay, thanks."
"She looked pretty angry. She said she was just stressed."
"That's all. She is very stressed." Lily said, "Bye James."
She gave him a quick kiss before walking out.
Diarecordium spell terminated.
…
She's flying.
That'd be right. She loves to fly.
I know, I think she's doing it to get away from everything, to block it out.
Yeah, probably, it's typical of Ellie. She'll bottle it up and then explode. We should probably go and find her.
Yeah, come on.
Diarecordium Spell
"We're going to have to fly up there." Emma said, looking at the brooms and then glancing at the sky towards Ellie, she noticed that her hair was black; she only ever had it that way when she was mad.
"Okay." They both took a broom and mounted them, Emma was a little unsteady at first, but eventually she managed to get up into the sky.
They caught up with Ellie, who was still looking very angry.
"Ellie, you ok?"
Ellie stayed quiet, she just made her broom go much faster. Emma and Lily also sped up, Lily looked quite nervous, as if she was about to fall off.
"Ellie, you need to talk to us."
She didn't say anything. Emma and Lily exchanged glances. They weren't sure what to do.
"Please, Ellie. Talk to us." Emma said, Ellie gained speed, and flew down to the ground. They followed her, Lily landed with a thud. Ellie was already storming off the Quidditch pitch over which she had been flying.
"Ellie! Would you wait for us?" Emma shouted angrily. Ellie stopped; she turned around. Her eyes were fiery red.
"You don't understand what it's like!" she screamed, "I have nowhere to live in the summer holidays!" she paused; Emma and Lily were in shock.
"You don't realize! It's not fair! I have no one, nothing!" she screamed, she sat down on a bench and put her head in her hands. Lily and Emma sat down either side of her. Lily put her arm around Ellie.
"It's not fair." Ellie said quietly, looking up, her face was very tear-stained. Luckily she wasn't wearing make-up.
"I know." Lily said comfortingly,
"It's about to rain." Emma said, "Maybe we should go inside."
"Yeah." Lily agreed, "Come on Elles."
"No, you guys can go. I'm alright here."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Lily and Emma walked off the quidditch pitch as it began to rain.
Diarecordium Spell Terminated.
