Chapter 21

Julia lies on her bed crying, one of those heavy cries where your breathing gets heavy and your nose gets stuffy.

She had not cried like this in a long time, not since she was three and she almost drown thanks to a bully. But back then she knew her sister was always by her side, and lately it didn't seem like that anymore.

Especially since they started and Hogwarts and she became friends with Harry and "The Trio". She knew she should go back to Hogwarts, her parents had sent her there to be safe, but it just seemed that more things were against her there then for her.

Harry had said that if she came near any of "the trio" he wouldn't be responsible for his actions, and that scared her a little.

"I guess I just want to hear dad's voice' she says just talking out to her room 'he is the only one that could really calm me down. But how, how do I talk to him, he's in Azkaban?"

She turns her head to her night table and looks at a picture of her family looking back at her. They were all there, her mother, her father, Emma and of course herself. They were so happy when that picture had been taken.

She sighs turning her head back to the ceiling and closes her eyes. She was at such a loss right now, her world was falling apart. She never really felt comfortable at school, just went to see people she guess she thought of as friends. Probably would have felt better if she always went to school with Draco but his parents for some reason thought he was better at Hogwarts and her parents like Drumstag.

Julia sighed, she wanted to talk to her father, she had to talk to her father.

"Dad, dad are you there, can you hear me?" she said using her mind link. She got no answer right away and tried again.

"Dad, dad please, if you can hear me say something! Her scream fills the room and her head.

"Julia hunny….!" A voice says

"Daddy is that you? Julia asked tears in her eyes. She had hoped the mind link would work but was still surprised that it had.

"Yes hunny…..wrong?" her father answers.

"What dad you are breaking up" Julia says.

"I…..what's….wrong? Her dad's broken sentence comes through.

"I miss you! I don't know what to do, I'm so confused" Julia answers still in tears.

"About…w…honey?" her father questions.

"About what's happened to the family! He broke up our family! Julia exclaims.

"You…..not….worry! Came through the broken answer.

"But how can I not dad? How can you not be worried, you are in Azkaban and Mom's in the hospital! It is just not right!" Julia screams to herself and inside her head.

"Where…..you?" her dad asks.

"I'm at home dad, I came back when I learned about you and mom." Julia answers.

"I don't want to go back dad, I feel better being here!" she replies.

"Hogwarts…..safe….you…" her father replies.

"I know dad but, I can't get use to being there. I don't want to go back?" she states.

"You….Hogwarts….now?" Was the only answer she got.

"But dad, I'm fine really? She tried to reason with him.

"You….Hogwarts…now….Mom and me…..sent…..reason….!" Came the reply.

"I know but….." she tries again.

"Now….school….now!" her father said.

Julia sighs, "Yeah" shaking her head and wiping tears away, "ok dad, I'll go back to school, but only for you?" she says.

Julia sits up in bed and looks around her room her trunk had never been unpacked so it would be easy to get ready to go back. She just needed to decided how she wanted to go. She had hated the long train ride earlier in the year, so she figured she would just snap back. She looked at the clock in her room and figured that all the kids would be in class and she could easily get back with out anyone noticing.

She quickly stuffed a few more things into her trunk and just lightly touched it and snapped two fingers on the other hand and she was back at school.

Julia laid on her bed at school reading one of her school books until she hear noise in the common room and figured her class mates were back. She quickly closed her eyes and looked into Draco's head to see if he was alone, when she found that he was she snapped her fingers again and was out of the girl's dorm before anyone knew she was there.

Draco was in the boy's dorm of the Slytherin house; he had a flower and was twisting the steam of it through two of his fingers. He jumped a little as he hears a new voice.

"Oh, is that for me," a voice asked.

"No Hun, I would get you something prettier if I had known you were coming by!" Draco says setting the flower down on his desk but not turning again yet.

Julia smiles, "I wanted you to be the first to know I was back, I have been for a while but everyone was in class then?" she says.

Draco turns around in his seat an evil smile on his face "of course you have, can't have anyone knowing you are back now can you?" he replies

Julia giggles "nope, thought I bet Dumbledore knows,' she snarls, 'I just don't want to run into the "famous Trio" right now, didn't really have good words with them before I left?"

Draco gets up and walks over to the bed and sits down beside her taking her hand in his, "I know Hun but this is for the best, your parents sent you here this year for a reason!" he says.

She sighs resting her head on his shoulder, "yea I know,' she pauses for a moment like she's in deep thought, 'I never knew how good this mind link thingy of mine was until a couple of hours ago. I mean I knew I could always keep in touch with you here at Hogwarts, even when I was at Drumstag but it gets better then that."

Draco looks over at her with a confused look on his face, "what do you mean Hun?" he asks

"I talked to him, I talked to my father! And I know what you are going to say and no I didn't go to Azkaban to see him I used my mind link." She replies.

He looks over at her with half a smile, "I figured you would find someway of doing it. I wouldn't put it past you, but it really worked. I mean that place is so heavily guarded with guards and spells.

She sighs, "It wasn't the best connection, I could only get part of what he was saying but I got the jest. I was arguing with him about coming back here and he won like always!" she says with a smile on her face, though a tear rolls down her cheek.

Draco sees this and quickly wipes it away with one hand before giving her a peck on the cheek, "he could always get you to do anything, couldn't he?" he states.

Julia nods slowly, "that is why I had to talk to him, so that I would come back here, I knew if I didn't I would still be at home. With the dark lord out there and Emma and me not having done the job we were supposed to do, it was not safe in London. I knew that but I could get myself to want to come back here." She says.

"But you are back now and that matters,' Draco says, 'do my parents know that you are back here?"

Julia shakes her head raising it from his shoulder, "no I was going to send an owl out after a left here, but this is kind of comfy," she says snuggling closer to him.

Draco giggles a little which most people would never see him do, "yea but it would be nice until someone see you in here, a Gryffindor in Slithering is not good,' he starts to say, 'though you are not in uniform yet!"

Julia giggles again and tries to give him one of her innocent looks, "I'll go before anyone sees me and about the uniform, I forgot I didn't have it on" she says

"Right, right, I believe that one! I know you don't like the colors love but you're going to have to wear it for now!" he says.

She pouts sticking out her bottom lip at him, "do I have to, 'she says running her hand up and down the side of his robes, 'I mean the green and silver are more so my colors see," she says holding out her snake necklace for him to see."

Draco giggles again, "just I know Hun, 'he says taking her hand in his again, 'but Doumbly wants you in Gryffindor for some reason. He thinks it would do you some good."

"all its done for me so far is get me into fights with ego head, miss perfect and no manners, what good is that for a year at school?" she asked.

"that I can't answer right now Hun, 'he stops and turns to the door as he hears someone coming, 'but you are going to have to go now, I'll talk to you later I promise," he says giving her another peck on the cheek.

She nods and snaps after letting go of him and a goodbye is heard in his had. Her next stop is the owlerly and she quickly sends word to her uncle and aunty that she is back at school. After all that is said and done she snaps back to the girl's dorm to change her school clothes.
