Chapter 11: Hoping for Someday

"Sirius no! Stop!" Halle yelled trying to pull her godfather off of him. He remained oblivious to anything she was saying.

"How could you take advantage of her? She's your best friend's daughter." Sirius screamed shaking his friend as he spoke.

"LET HIM GO!" Halle screamed gripping her nails into her godfather's shoulder blades. This movement finally made him get up, but not without pulling the werewolf up with him.

"Sirius please. I love Lily I would never do anything to hurt her." Remus exclaimed then suddenly realizing his mistake.

"Lily?" Halle questioned tears beginning to form. "That's all I am to you? A reincarnation of my mother?

"No Halle not at all I love you." Remus exclaimed pulling away from his friends grasp and rushing towards her. Tears slowly dripped down his face as he saw her crying as well.

"I should have known this was too good to be true. I'm not meant to be happy, not meant to have a life. My only use in this world is to aid Harry defeat Voldemort." She was sobbing now. "I can't believe I gave you my heart." She turned and ran out of the room.

Remus went to go after her but Sirius grabbed his arm. The old dog at that point realized how much they truly cared about each other, and how he had just ruined the happiness that both of them deserved.

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside

Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye

So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday

Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
I don't want to let you leave this way
I want you know that I'll stand right by your side

And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll...

I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday

When they got back to the common room Ginny and Hermione both expressed their sleepiness and headed up to bed. Ron and Harry decided to sit by the fire and talk.

"So you and my sister." Ron said trying to start a conversation.

Harry nodded. "When are you finally going to go after Hermione?"

Ron's face turned a shade that rivaled his hair. "We're getting there."

Harry laughed. "By the time the version of you "getting there" is finished she'll be old and gray."

The portrait hole opened suddenly and in came someone they had missed at dinner. Halle ran past the boys not speaking and rushed up the stairs to the dormitory.

"Halle!" Harry exclaimed jumping up and trying to get up the stairs after her however being thrown back.

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

As she stormed into her dorm she was immediately confronted by Hermione and Ginny. Halle lay with her head in the pillow crying as the two girls sat on opposite sides of her bed.

"Halle what's wrong!" Hermione questioned rubbing the back of her friend who's sobbing while muffled by the pillow was painstaking to the other girls.

Halle turned over and sat up. "You can't tell Harry okay." Both girls nodded reluctantly. "For the past month I've kind of been seeing Professor Lupin."

"Tell us something we don't know." Ginny stated.

Halle gasped. "How could you know?"

"Oh please there's a reason why I wouldn't let you sit next to Harry in class. You'd always doodle your initials together." Hermione explained.

Halle laughed lightly then let her face return to that of complete hurt. "Well tonight we were in his room snogging after he told me that he loved me and it was getting heavy. I think we were going to 'do it' if we hadn't had been interrupted, by my godfather."

The two girls gasp knowing very well that he was the worst possible person to walk in on them. Halle proceeded to tell them how he had called her Lily and how everything was now over. For the second time in one night Halle was bursted in on. This time it was her brother and Ron. They saw rope tied to their waists and a hook stuck in their door; they had used a very muggle way to get up the stairs. It was then she noticed the thing that was used often at Grimmwauld; extendable ears.

Halle winced waiting for an uproar but instead Harry walked over to the bed, sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"He's taking this better than I thought." Hermione whispered to Ron.

Ron shook his head. "In here yes, but out there," Ron beyond the door. "He told me he is going to rip out Remus's throat and cut off his hands so he can never hurt Halle again.

Ginny looked up and saw for the first time a look in Harry's eyes that truly scared her. It was a look that had haunted her dreams since her first year. The look of anger, hatred, disgust. The look that was forever plastered on the face of Voldemort.
