Going Behind Marco's Death

"Thanks for coming," Andrew siad letting Melanie into the house.

"What's this about?"

"Marco's death wasn't from his AIDS," Andrew said leading Melanie to Marco's secret room and found a rope hanging from the ceiling, a gun on the floor, and a trail of blood leading to a back room where lay Marco's corpse. His face was pale, his eyes were glass-like, he was sitting with his arms and legs spread and his head was titled to one side.

There was blood pouring from his head, a dark ring around his neck, and slits on his wrists.

"Suicide?"

"What you heard on the phone was a recording. He gave it to me early yesterday and after I came up here looking for him I found him like this."

"Let me guess," Melanie said trying to patch the pieces together, "He hung himself, you revived him, he shot himself, he was still alive, and then he slit his wrists and died. Why?"

"To be with you," Andrew said.

"He killed himself because he couldn't be with me?" Melanie asked as Andrew nodded.

"I'm sorry," Andrew said hugging Melanie.

"It's alright," Melanie said, "Well I have to go back to Corynne's to pack for school."

"I thought that Hogwarts was now a pile a ruble?"

"It is," she responded, "I have to resurrect the castle."

"Oh," Andrew said hugging her and passionately kissing her, "I hope I see you again."

"Me too," Melanie said kissing him again and apparating back to Corynne's.

Melanie...

"Hello?" Melanie called out.

Melanie...

"I'm here what do you want?" she asked turning around and jumping at the sight of her dead beau, "Marco?"

"I don't have much time," he said, "so listen carefully. I'm sorry that I just deserted you, but I did not intend to die so soon."

"So you didn't die from your AIDS?"

"No," Marco said, "I was murdered."

"Murdered? By whom?"

"Jared." Melanie was so mad that flames shot from her fingertips and palms. When the flames disapated, she looked at her hands and was amazed her hands were not chared.

"You have the power," Marco explained, "You can channel your magic into whatever you want. Good or evil. You go to Hogwarts and make that castle stand erect again. Don't let Jared win. Jared's the one who took everyone out of London, he's the one that created the crater. He needs to be stopped and you can do that. You have people backing you up: me, Kyle, your sisters, your mother, and..."

"Me," Harry said appearing behind Melanie.

"Daddy?" Melanie asked running into her father's arms, "I've missed you!"

"I know you have," Harry said kissing the top of his daughter's head, "You know you have the power. You can do it. I know you can."

"Thanks dad," Melanie said hugging him again.

"We better get going," Marco said to Harry.

"Wait!" Melanie cried as they were leaving, "When will I see you guys again?"

"When you coem and join us," Harry said blowing a kiss to his daughter and disappearing.

"I love you," Marco said kissing her, "Never forget me."

"I won't," Melanie said kissing him one last time before he disappeared. Melanie now knew she could really resurrect Hogwarts, but would she have enough power to resurrect an entire city?
