A/N: (sniffle sniffle) Here it is, the final chapter of One Secret, in the same night. Never in my life have I completed a fic so fast. But I'm happy. Thank you for the reviews and love.

Chapter Ten:

About a Month Later

"Daphne, open the window!"

Daphne confusedly opened the window, and her dark haired cousin almost flew in, crashing into a cardboard box, causing her to laugh. "It's good to see you, Abby."

Abby shook her wet hair from the rain outside and merely said, "Hey, you're lucky I even got a chance to see you before you left. So how is everything then?"

Daphne sighed. "Well, like you already know, we're moving out, back to England. Mummy says it's more convenient now that, well, you know…"

"I know, Daff. Keziah and the gang are moving back with you, aren't they?"

"Yes, they are. I'm kind of nervous though."

"Hey, how do you think Trianne feels, though, Daphne? She's just found out she's a Seer!"

"Well, yeah, but she's got a big sister to help her out. You're not going to be living with me anymore after I leave. And we might never see each other again."

Abby moved over to her cousin, who was sitting on her bed, looking at a picture of the two of them five years earlier, Abby proudly holding up her Hogwarts letter and Daphne dancing around her, causing the picture version of her to giggle and smile.

"I remember that picture, Mum was so proud I got in, I think Dad was too, but I don't know if he was away on an order mission or what, but they knew I was going to get in, I don't understand why they made such a big fuss about it…" Abby fondly remembered as she braided her cousin's hair. "Your hair is ridiculously knotted. Have you been forgetting to comb your hair or did your mother's hair genes get passed down to you?"

Daphne was starting to tear up. "I don't know," she choked out, causing her cousin to turn her around to face her.

"Hey, hey, hey, whatever happened to the Daphne I know, who never let anyone see her cry?"

"She disappeared."

"Oh Daphne, it's not that bad girl. You get to go back to England. I don't, I can't." She tilted Daphne's chin toward her face, and smiled. "Listen to me, Daphne."

"I'm listening."

"You got to make me proud, alright? And you know how you can do that? You can do that by being yourself. I'm not going to be there to look after you anymore; you're going to have to take care of yourself at Hogwarts. Can you do that?"

Daphne swallowed and wiped her eyes. "Yeah, I can do that."

"Alright then, Missy, I'm glad we've reached an agreement." Standing up, Abby looked out the window and noticed a dark car pulling up outside. "She's here, I got to go. Now what happened to me?"

"You were in a late night car crash with muggle friends. The car set on fire and rolled down the hill. No survivors."

Abby frowned as she reopened the window and balanced herself on the window ledge. She looked back at her cousin one final time.

"I'll miss you. You live up to my father now, alright? Oh, and before I go, Happy 12th birthday, sorry I'll miss it. Make sure you look after Trianne. She's going to need it…and there are so many things that I want to say right now, but there's no way I could fit them in to the short span of time I have, she's probably getting pissed off at me that I've even spent this long making run-on sentences with you. "

Abby took a mock deep breath to demonstrate her shortness of time, and repositioned herself on the window ledge, turning her back to Daphne, who laughed.

"I'll do that, and thank you, I'll make sure it's happy."

Abby jumped down, and Daphne ran over to watch her cousin enter the black car and speed off, no proof that she had ever been there existed.

The door opened a few seconds, revealing a puzzled looking Hermione whose first reaction was to look at the window, and then Daphne.

"Daphne, why do you have your bedroom window open? It's raining, and it's extremely cold!" She slammed the window shut, and looked at her daughter, who replied,

"I don't know, Mummy. I like the rain, I find it very peaceful, and it makes wonderful noises."

Hermione sighed. "I'm not going to pretend to understand you, because sometimes you just confuse me. I just don't want the rain to get on the boxes and ruin the move."

"I can understand that."

"You need to be in bed anyway. We start moving early tomorrow, thank God." She switched off the light as her daughter climbed into the bed and moved under the covers, closing her eyes. "Good night Daphne."

Daphne fell asleep, but not before she made sure the window was unlocked after her mother left the room.

Just in case.

Trianne gazed out the window of her room, the rain falling steadily, Keziah by her side. They both watched for a few minutes, but Keziah left, tired of waiting. Trianne's patience paid off, as she got a short glimpse of a speeding black car. She closed the curtains and stepped out of her room, heading downstairs to get one of her favorite books that she liked to read before she went to sleep. Life seemed to be returning to normal, she sleepily noted, as she fell asleep on the living room sofa, the book in hand and Keziah and Paulina upstairs in Keziah's room, talking about big girl things.

The End
