Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind;

Teach us to be patient and always be kind.

Freefolk House, Laverstoke Lane 58, Hampshire, Great Britain

Ellie sighed as she tried to sit as still as possible. Her small hands were resting on the expensive material over her thighs. The red dress had a lot of details and felt luxurious underneath her small hand palms. She honestly thought it was a little cliché, wearing a red dress on Christmas Eve. She scrunched her nose in pain when Minnie tugged on her hair once again. "Almost finished, young miss." The house elf spoke, contently.

Thank God, she couldn't understand why it was impossible for her parents to just let her hair out instead of letting her go through these painful hair tugging sessions. "Miss is growing up to be a beautiful woman." Minnie beamed, staring into the mirror at Ellie. "Minnie is finished."

"Thank you, Minnie. You did a wonderful job as always." She heard her mother speak as she entered the room. "How is it that you have grown already since I saw you last September?" Gisila spoke, placing her head next to Ellie's. They were both looking at each through the mirror.

"You look really pretty, mother." Ellie smiled, staring at the same green eyes.

"Thank you, dear. You truly are my daughter." Gisila moved away from the mirror. "I have no concerns that you will behave properly when the Potters arrive here."

Ellie sighed under her breath. Seeing James Potter was the last thing she wanted to do on Christmas Eve, but apparently Ellie didn't have much say in The Darenbourgs' plans. They had planned this even before Ellie came back from school. It seemed as if now, since both their children were off to Hogwarts, the two couples rekindled their friendship.

"They should be here in about eighteen minutes." Gisila spoke with certainty. "Go downstairs and wait alongside your father."

Ellie nodded her head and lifted herself. Her small heels clicked under the marble floor until she finally reached the main stairway. She turned towards the West Wing of the house, nodding at every painting she passed. She had written Lily immediately after she heard the Potters would visit on Christmas Eve. In response, Lily had wrote her a sincere apologize from the heart but still said she was glad it was Ellie and not her.

It's not that she hated James Potter, not at all. After their little Quidditch flying lesson last month, Ellie realized that she did care for him and didn't want any harm caused. Then again, she also realized James Potter was still an arrogant prat if he wanted to be and he had poor taste in friends.

"Hello, father." Casius' eyes immediately turned bright at the sight of his little girl.

"You look very beautiful, Eleonore."

"Thank you." She smiled, stepping closer to the divan and placing herself next to him.

"I've been wanting to speak with you alone." His eyes turned towards her with pride. "I know it's only Christmas Eve but we both know your mother will give you a millions presents tomorrow and I won't have time to gift you this in private."

Ellie's green eyes turned towards the small, royal blue, suede jewelry box in his palms. "I think it's time for you to receive this. It's been in my possession for quite a while now." Her father contently smiled and opened the small box. "This was worn by my mother, who received it from my father. This wristband goes centuries back, to the very beginning."

The gold band looked so delicate, Ellie almost didn't dare to touch it. The expensive material glimmered underneath the Christmas lights. She could feel the magic by just looking at it. She squinted her eyes at the words carved into the small band. She recognized them as their house words. "Ubi concordia, ibi victoria." Her father spoke with a smile.

"Where there is unity, there is victory." Ellie translated softly.

"Indeed." Casius nodded his head. She watched how he gently grabbed the delicate gold band. "I want you to wear it. It will protect you when I no longer can."

"Daddy-"

"You're growing up so fast." He placed his hand on her hair. "I just want you to be safe. Give me your right wrist." Ellie nodded her head and stuck out her small arm.

She watched how her father put it on her wrist, wandless. "I have to put it on with my own fingers, else it doesn't work." He smiled. "It is yours now. I hope that if you have children one day, you'll be able to pass it on as well. If not, you can always give it to someone you consider family. It's not always about the blood, you know."

Ellie nodded her head, "Thank you, it's very beautiful."

"It's never going to break, it has very strong magic. You can always keep i-"

Ellie watched how her mother entered the drawing room. Gisila smiled at the scene in front of her. "I'm sorry to break this up but the Potters have arrived."

Casius immediately stood up, placing the jewelry box on the coffee table. "We'll be in the main hall in a minute." He smiled at his wife who nodded her head in reply and left the room once again.

He turned towards his daughter once again, "With a simple spell, I will always be able to hear your heartbeat through that small chain, Eleonore. Its magic is connected to your radial pulse. It's what makes this piece of jewelry so special. I will always be able to know you are safe so please don't take that off just for the fun of it. You will give me a heart attack."

She couldn't help but beam at her father, "I promise I'll keep it on. Always."

"Now let's say hello to the Potters. They have been asking a lot about you." She followed her father into the main hallway where she could already see three familiar heads.

Fleamont Potter was looking as cheery as she remembered him. The very few grey hairs on his scalp were standing up straight and he grinned joyfully when Casius and Eleonore entered the main hallway. "Casius! What a beautiful daughter you have created!" His eyes beamed towards Ellie's as she grinned up on him and gently buckled her knees in a curtsy, holding on to the side of her dress. "And such manners!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see James raising his own eyebrows behind his glasses. "It's nice to see you again, Mister and Misses Potter." She spoke politely.

"In a few years' time, she'll pass as your twin, Gigi." Euphemia spoke towards Ellie's mother. She immediately turned towards her own son. "James, what do you say?"

Ellie tried holding back laughter when she could spot the annoyance on James his face, "It's very nice to see you again, Mister and Misses Darensbourg."

Ellie watched how her own mother smiled at James, "I've heard a lot about you. I hope school is going as well for you as it is for Eleonore. Let's go to the dining room, we'll have a toast." Gisela suggested, "Minnie, can you take the Potter's overcoats please?"

The house elf immediately jumped into action and did what she was asked. "I have always been so jealous of this chandelier, Gisela." Ellie heard James his mother speak behind her. She turned her head her classmate marching right next to her, he was also dressed in an expensive, dark coloured suit. Ellie could tell that his parents tried everything to flatten his hair but it was absolutely no use. His jet black hair was sticking out everywhere.

"You have a nice house." James spoke, trying to start a conversation.

"You have been here before, remember?" She raised her eyebrow at him. "Plus it's not like you live in a townhouse yourself."

"Our manor isn't as big as yours. Is it true that you have an indoor pool?" He whispered, leaning closely towards Eleonore in interest. "I can't seem to remember."

"Yes." She simple spoke, entering the dining room.

"Can I see it later? Can we go swimming?" He enthusiastically spoke.

"I'll have to ask my parents, I'm sure it won't be a problem." Ellie answered, noticing how Minnie brought out some champagne in crystal glasses. "They can transfigurate your coat into swimming trunks."

"These two are pumpkin juice for the young mister and miss." Minnie, the house elf smiled at the two eleven year olds who grabbed the glasses and thanked the elf.

"Let's have a toast!" She heard her father speak. "To a happy, healthy, and prosperous year ahead! To friendship and love! To The Potters." Ellie watched how her father grinned at the couple and lifted his glass. "To both our dear children, who have turned out to be perfect. Cheers!" Ellie watched how the entire room answered respectfully and drank from the glasses.

Freefolk House, Laverstoke Lane 58, Hampshire, Great Britain

Ellie cut into her beef wellington with much grace, her wrists were precisely resting on the side of the table. The piece of meat delicately melted in her mouth, it was almost as if it was butter. She slowly clutched her crystal glass and took a small sip from it, her eyes following the conversation going on in the rooms. "We were really pleased that James was sorted into Gryffindor." Euphemia Potter smiled at her son.

"Well the house has been in your family for centuries now." Casius grinned at James his mother. "We were a little surprised with Eleonore's sorting but I'm glad they're classmates now."

"They can look after one another, right James?" James looked up from his plate to his mother and then towards Ellie who just stared at him with an expression of 'please, just go with it'.

"Yes, of course." He smiled at Eleonore's parents who seemed content with that answer.

"I believe both of you haven't had trouble finding friends?" Gisela questioned looking from her daughter to James with a smile.

"You know I have a lot of friends, mother." Eleonore spoke.

"Right, Archimedes has had quite a lot of work with you this Christmas break." Ellie's mother spoke, "Lily Evans was the last letter, right?" Eleonore watched how James his ears peaked at the sound of Lily's name. "We saw the girl at King's Cross, very friendly indeed. Beautiful girl. Muggle born but very bright, right Eleonore?"

"Lily's had the best grades in class so far, yes." Ellie smiled.

"Maybe she can come over at summer break, Eleonore. James can come along too, he can bring his friend with him." Gisela suggested, looking from James to Ellie. "The house is big enough. Fleamont told me you were quite close with Sirius Black."

"Yes, he's my best friend." James answered, ignoring the slight roll of Ellie's eyes. He knew they were still not getting along.

Euphemia Potter spoke, "Gigi, you should have seen Walburga's face when the boy stepped off the train. I really felt bad for him that he had to go home. Can't imagine his Christmas will be as warm as ours, unfortunately."

Fleamont stepped in the conversation, speaking with a lower voice. "James told me poor Sirius had 5 howlers after the sorting."

Ellie's eyes widened a little at that information. She hadn't heard anything about howlers, she never received any but she read how terrible they were. She briefly wondered what Sirius was doing right now. Would he be locked inside his room? Would he even get any Christmas gifts? She swallowed the last piece of beef on her place roughly. She felt a little bad for him now. She had sent everybody Christmas gifts and letters, apart from Sirius.

Well, she was certain he wasn't going to send her anything either.

"Do you think the Blacks convincing way of raising their children might have finally backfired?" Casius spoke with interest.

"James, tell them how Sirius feels about his families beliefs. There must be a reason the boy was sorted into Gryffindor, no harm meant Casius." Euphemia spoke, knowing all too well that Casius was a Slytherin. "It is just a relieve that a Black finally is a Gryffindor. The first heir none the less. He might change their name after all."

James eyes scanned the table, he didn't really like talking behind his friend's back. Then again, he was actually defending him and James did want his parents on Sirius' side. The fact that Ellie's parents would think positively of his friend was just another positive addition. Plus, he kind of knew it would piss Ellie off a little. "I'm actually concerned about him." James sighed, "He doesn't like his parents whatsoever, he doesn't believe in purity. He's accepting to everyone." James eyes adverted towards Ellie who looked at him with a squinting gaze. "Well, almost everyone."

"Eleonore, you haven't been getting along with Sirius?" Ellie's mother questioned with a confused expression. Eleonore hadn't told them that it was actually Sirius Black his fault that she was in detention at the beginning of the year. She wasn't planning on doing it either. Her pride didn't let her.

"We have… Our different views on things, yes." Eleonore answered, hating being the center of attention. James was looking at her with a confused expression, he knew that her mother didn't know who caused the detentions and wondered why.

"Well, try to give him some slack, Eleonore. The boy obviously has some personal troubles. He can't be that bad if he's James his best friend."

She did not need this lecture right now. She almost just wanted to tell the table that James was actually an arrogant prat as well and they were equally as bad if they wanted to be. "You're right. I probably should." Ellie smiled, pushing one curl behind her ear. She noticed James his empty plate, "Can James and I be excused from the table? He wants to see the pool."

"Of course, dear." Casius smiled.

Ellie nodded, placing her napkin on the table next to her plate. "Are you coming?" She turned towards James, who in reply nodded his head quickly.

The two children marched outside the dining room and entered the main hallway. Ellie's eyes scanned the background and noticed that they were finally too far away for their parents to hear. James noticed the same thing because he immediately turned around to her with a grin, "You clean up your parents' assholes quite well."

"Shut up, Potter." She spit, moving on towards the east wing. "Like you're the one to talk."

"They're nice though, your parents." He nodded his head at her with a genuine smile.

"I know they are, yours are as well." She opened the big wooden door in main east wing's hallway and James could immediately smell the chlorine of the pool hitting his nostrils.

"Did you send at least send him a Christmas card?" James eyed Ellie, stepping into the pool zone. Ellie turned on the lights and James was a little awestruck. The room was lit by crystal pendant lamps and skylight. He could see the stars through the ceiling window, lightening up the dark night sky.

"I did not." Eleonore spoke. "I don't see why I should."

"He's your classmate." James spoke, turning towards Ellie who took off her small heels and lifted her dress. She sat down near the edge of the pool and dipped her feet and calves in the water. "This is my favorite room in your house, by the way."

"So? I don't think he'll send me a card, right?" She turned towards James, watching how he sat down next to her.

"I honestly think you should really burry this hedge you've been having since the beginning of the year. It was a stupid comment and he did regret it." James spoke, dipping his own feet in the water. "You still have seven years left with him, you know."

"James, I'll do whatever I want to do, alright? Sirius never apologized." Eleonore shot, sighing.

"It's astonishing how much alike you two are." James chuckled, shaking his head. "So stubborn."

"We're not a like and I think we've been through this Sirius subject. I don't want to spend my Christmas Eve thinking of the boy. I do not care for him."

"Fine then. I just wanted to tell you that he's not that bad if you actually know him."

"That's great for you, James." Ellie answered, letting go of the subject for now.

"You're a really great flyer, you know." James grinned, dropping the subject. "When I'm captain of the Quidditch team, I want to you to join my team."

Eleonore laughed, shifting her eyes towards James. "I have got a racing Nimbus in the house." They locked eyes for a minute and she noticed his anticipated glance. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?" She quickly spoke.

"Would your parents let us?" He bit his lip. James had heard of the new Nimbus Racing Broom Company, he never actually sat on one though. He knew the brooms were used by the Quidditch teams across Europe.

"Would they have to know?" She shot back, mischief twinkling in her eyes.

"I like the way you think, Darensbourg. Let's go." He eagerly nodded his head and stood up straight. "Are the brooms far away?"

Ellie shook her head, "No, they're in the Trophy room."

"You have a trophy room? Your place IS cooler than mine!" James enthusiastically screamed.

Eleonore couldn't help but laugh.

Friday, 11.32pm December 24th, 1971

Open Field, Laverstoke Lane 58, Hampshire, Great Britain

"Come on, Potter! Further!" She shouted, not caring one single bit about her dress. It was blowing in the wind behind her broom. Long strands of black hair were hanging in front of her face. The sophisticated knot got loose when she dived towards the ground with much speed to grab one of the pines James threw in the air.

"This would be easier if we actually had a quaffle!" He shouted back at her from a distance. "And if we could use magic!"

"I told you they're locked in my father's study! I can't get in there." She screamed from the pitch back sky. "Throw another one!"

She heard James grunt in the background and squinted her eyes. In the dark she could spot the small pineapple flying through the air and she immediately pushed her body closer to the broomstick. The cold wind was blowing through her hair as she gnarled her teeth together, trying not the shiver. Her hand finally caught the pineapple as she pushed up the stick, trying to break.

"Oof!" She grunted, rolling on the ground. She shouldn't have built up that speed.

"You alright?" James yelled, running closer towards his classmate lying on the ground.

"I'm fine!" Eleonore screamed back, breathing heavily. "Just didn't land as softly as I anticipated." She finally stood up and removed the dirt from her knees with her hands. Her dress had all kinds of stains but she was certain she could just use a scouring charm to clean it when she was in school.

"Okay, thank god. It's my turn, right?" The boy grinned as she passed the broom towards him. "Let's see how good you are at throwing these damn pineapples."

Ellie watched how James speeded off the ground into the night air. "Ready?" She yelled, her handpalms over her mouth.

"Yes!"

She immediately threw another pineapple in the air, as far as possible. She noticed how she had a way better throw than James had. "Seems like you do throw like a girl, Potter!" She screamed, grinning. Against all the odds in, she was actually having a lot of fun with James Potter.

"Shut up!" She heard him scream from a far.

She laughed, "I'm throwing another one since you missed that one!"

"Okay!"

Her hands immediately threw another one in the air and she noticed James diving towards the ground. He seemed to be a really good flyer as well, since he swiftly caught the pineapple in a matter of seconds.

"Nice one!" She yelled, listening how he cheered for himself. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Can I go again?"

"No way! I just got on it! I don't have a broom like this at home!" He screamed back, flying close to the ground and passing her in high speed.

"This isn't fair!" Ellie stomped her feet, "I'm the reason you're on that broom in the first place!"

"I don't care, Darensbourg! I'm having too much fun. Ha ha, look at me. I'm on a Nimbus!" James testily sang into the Hampshire cold air. "I'm on a broom and you're nootttt." He laughed, zooming passed her once again.

"You're a douchebag, Potter!"

"A douchebag on a broomstick!" He laughed, climbing up in the air.

"JAMES POTTER, YOU GET DOWN HERE INSTANTELY!" Ellie's eyes widened as she recognized that voice. Euphemia Potter did have a particular high screeching voice, one that wasn't too hard to fault. She knew that her parents weren't far behind.

Her head immediately turned when her mother's eyes widened at the sight of her daughter. "Eleonore Gisila Darensbourg!" She hastily heard her mother's footsteps come closer.

When her mother stepped in front of her, she couldn't help but lower her head and bite her lip. "Mother, I just wanted to show James the Nimbus…"

"YOUR DRESS!" Her mother screeched. "Oh god! That was your great-grandmother's dress when she was a young girl!"

Ellie watched how James flew back to the ground and he immediately put the broom on the ground. James and his mother immediately walked towards them. "This was my great-grandmother's?" Ellie mumbled, staring at the dirt patches on her dress. "That's… Disgusting." She ignored the way James tried to hold back laughter at her antics.

"ELEONORE! I cannot believe you!" Gisila shook her head in disappointment. There were actual leaves hanging out of her daughter's hair. Mud covered half of her face and her knees were scratched.

"It was my fault, Misses Darensbourg. I wanted Eleonore to show me the Nimbus." James spoke, stepping up the plate even though it was both their fault.

"James, you don't have to." Ellie mumbled, trying not to faint underneath her mother's hard glance.

"Indeed, you don't have to do this James. I know my daughter. I know this wasn't your plan alone. You both must be freezing, let's get you inside." Gisila sighed, still shaking her head.

Ellie immediately marched over the grass field towards the manor, James walking right next to her. "It was nice while it lasted." He spoke.

She couldn't help but smile, "That it was. Happy Christmas, by the way."

"Happy Christmas, Ellie." He grinned back. "It's a very good broom, though."

"I know, right?" She enthusiastically replied.

Monday, January 3rd , 1972

Platform 9 3/4 , King's Cross, London, Great Britain

"We'll see you at the end of the year, behave won't you?" Her mother smiled, "No more detentions."

Ellie's eyes scanned the platform, looking for any familiar faces. It seems as if the train station wasn't as busy as it was on September first, but it was still difficult to spot any of her friends. The red train was already blowing off steam in the background. She loved spending time with her parents and she actually had a lot of fun of Christmas Eve with James, but she couldn't help but be excited to step into the castle once again. "I never get in detentions on purpose, mother." Eleonore answered, not really paying attention.

"We can see that you're very eager to search for your friends. Go ahead, sweetheart. Write us when you get there." Casius smiled, pressing one eager kiss on his daughter's forehead.

"Okay. I'll miss you." Eleonore grinned, giving her mother one last hug. "Bye." She waved, running towards the entrance of the train. She immediately spotted one familiar brown path of hair. Stepping onto the train steps, she screamed, "Remus!"

The boy, who stood by his parents turned his head towards the voice he immediately knew. Eleonore Darensbourg was waving at him from the train with a big smile on her face. He immediately turned towards his parents, who gave him an endearing smile. Their eyes adverted towards the girl beaming at their son. "See you in a couple of months, go say hello to your friend, Remus."

Remus immediately nodded and turned around, running towards Ellie. "Did you have a nice Christmas?" She beamed. "Did you receive the cookies I sent you?"

Remus laughed, her enthusiasm seemed contagious. "I did. Thank you for them. They were amazing."

Ellie nodded her head, she could still see her parents smiling at her in the background. They seemed quite interested on who her friend was. "Let's get inside and search for Lily. Thank you as well, you know, for the candy."

"I know Bertie Bott's are your favourite. It's the least I can do." He smiled, following the dark haired girl.

"Every candy is my favourite." Ellie laughed, moving along the corridors of the train, every once and a while stepping out of the way to let someone through. "Did you finish the Defense Against The Dark Arts homework? I actually thought it was quite difficult." They had a 9 page long essay about doxies, which wasn't hard in the context really, it just was difficult to come up with nine pages talking about the little creatures. They weren't that interesting.

"There's so much one person can actually write about doxies." Remus agreed, waiting behind Eleonore when she opened a compartment with a smile.

"I know right." She spoke, throwing her head back. "Lily!" She grinned into the compartment.

A small, ginger frame immediately crashed into Ellie's arms with a smile. "Ellie! You need to tell me everything! Was Potter that bad?" Lily obviously didn't notice Remus standing behind the small dark haired girl because he shrugged his throat and she jumped a little. "Oh, hi Remus!"

"Hello, Lily." The boy smiled kindly.

"How was your holiday?" The red head spoke with a friendly smile.

"It was alright." He nodded back, standing a little awkwardly behind Ellie.

"Do you have room for us?" Eleonore spoke, eyeing the compartment, she noticed Marlene sitting in one of the seats and gave her a little wave.

"Sure, come in." Lily immediately stepped aside and watched how Ellie protectively grabbed Remus his hand in hers, dragging him in. Ellie took the seat closest to the window and pulled the boy next to her.

"Hi Marlene!" Ellie smiled, giving the blonde a grin. "Got a nice holiday?"

"I did, actually. My parents and I went to the Alps. Thanks for the Christmas Card by the way." She kindly replied. Ellie felt the train move under her little body and watched how the express finally left King's Cross.

"I haven't been there. I bet it's beautiful." Lily entered the conversation. "Ellie spent Christmas Eve with James Potter."

"Lily!" Eleonore's eyes widened. It's not that she was embarrassed about it, not at all but she didn't feel like talking behind his back either.

"You did?" Marlene spoke with interest.

"My parents and his parents are good friends, that's why." Eleonore shrugged, ignoring the way Remus looked at her.

"Was it dull?" Lily questioned, enjoying the gossip more than Ellie did.

"It was alright, actually. We had a fun night." She noticed Lily looking at her with a confused face.

"You had fun with James Potter?" Lily Evans questioned, feeling a little betrayed. She couldn't help herself, she just didn't think James Potter and fun were supposed to go in one and the same sentence.

"Don't look at me like that, Lils." Ellie answered. "We made the best out of the night. We flew on the new Nimbus. What else was I supposed to do? Walk around with a long face the whole evening? It was just one night, I'm certain he'll be an arrogant prat once we get back in school, Lils. I promise I'm still with you on that. "

"You have a Nimbus at home?" Marlene spoke, a little shock taking over her features. She knew Eleonore's parents were loaded, she just didn't think they were THAT loaded.

"My father bought one when the company started, yes. I actually think he has some shares in the business." Ellie looked a little confused and then shrugged, "I don't know, but yes we have a Nimbus."

"Well, it's nice that you had a good time on Christmas Eve." Remus smiled.

"I did. I'm glad I'm back at school though, I was starting to miss you guys." Ellie answered. "Chocolate frog?" She gazed at everyone. Lily and Marlene shook their heads, but somehow Eleonore knew that Remus wouldn't. She grinned and passed one to the boy. "Have any of you seen Peter or the rest of the guys?"

"I saw Black and Potter when I entered the train." Marlene spoke, "They were at front."

"Was Peter with them?" Ellie questioned, wondering about her friend.

"No I haven't seen him. He's probably with Christina." Marlene answered. "We'll see them when we get there."

"Ah well, for now we're good." She happily shrugged.

"Did any of you have troubles with the Defense Against The Dark Arts paper by the way?" Lily wondered, looking around in the compartment.

"I actually still have to finish mine." Marlene shrugged, watching how the rest of the booth stared at her like she was mad. "Don't kill me for not being a goodie two shoes like you guys all are. How is one to write nine pages about freaking doxies?"

"I wrote in massive letters." Eleonore confessed, tugging the head off the chocolate frog with her mouth. "What?" She spoke with a full mouth. "Nobody said how we were supposed to turn those in. There's no specific rules."

"Sometimes I do really wonder why you are in Gryffindor and not in Slytherin." Remus grinned, eyeing his friend.

"It's because she'd hex anyone hurting her in an instant, Remus. How can you not know that? Just ask Black." Lily spoke, holding back a grin.

"It's true." Ellie nodded her head, shrugging.

"You don't regret doing that whatsoever, don't you?" Marlene said.

"I regret being seen. There's a difference." The green eyed girl pointed out. "Black has a way of working on my nerves."

"You still have seven years left with him." Lily spoke wisely.

"You still have seven years left with Potter." Ellie shot back.

"May God have mercy on our beautiful soul." The red head mumbled, receiving laughter from the whole compartment.

Author's note: please, please leave a review if you are reading this right now. I would love to know how you feel about this story. I was a little insecure about making Peter actually quite close with the main character, but I honestly feel like it would be a possibility. I think in the end, it will make this story so much more intense. Do you like the friendship forming between James and Ellie? Tell me. I think I need them a little closer together to make the group closer in the end. I honestly feel like Sirius and Lily aren't going to be super besties so I just had to make James closer to Ellie to actually make them talk. Leave a review, please. Without feedback, I won't know if this story is good or not.
