Chapter 4

Ella was back in her dorm. She was writing a letter to her mother, in Italy,

Dear Mother,

How are you? I'm fine, as things in Hogwarts are getting more and more interesting. The rise of Volermort has been certified, as you may have already read in Italy. Sometimes I wish Luigi was still with us. He'd know exactly what to do. Please be careful Mother. Voldermort is out for power, and sooner or later, he's going to learn about the Blackwater legacy. Then he's going to come after you. Hogwarts is safe, as long as Dumbeldore is here. However, he keeps setting off to places, according to Harry. I think he has a plan, and I trust him, as well as Harry. What I'm more worried about is that I cannot trully trust anyone here. Many Slytherins come from Death Eater Families…

I've made two friends in Slytherin though. Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy. They are really nice. I wanted to ask you to do a bit of research on their family lineage. The thing is, Harry really doesn't trust Draco. Blaise is ok, with him, but Draco and Harry have a long history of hatred. So he doesn't want me to be friends with a person who is a possible Death Eater. I wanted to know whether you could find out about that.

I bought those muggle chocolates Luigi liked….i've sent them along with this letter. Please feed the Owl mother…only rats…England's communication service isn't exactly the best…But its ok, if you get used to it. Please send my regards to Father.

Love,

Ella.

Ella reread the paper. She trusted Harry more than she trusted her own heart. And she knew it for sure now…she was falling for Draco Malfoy…trully, madly, and very deeply. Hermoine smiled at her. "Are you sure you can atke the truth, Ella? If Malfoy is a Death Eater…" she said, softly. Ella looked up, pain clearly visible in her eyes. "Then I spurn him completely and Absolutely. I cannot forgive them…after what they did with Luigi. The way those twins killed him. I should kill all of them right away. However, I am not allowed to do such a thing with my powers, however strong they might be," said Ella, seriously. "Being a Blackwater is really hard for you, isn't it, Ella?" said Ron, gently letting his fingers through her hair. Ella nodded. "But it is who I am. I must learn to deal with it. Just like Spiderman's uncle said! 'With great power, comes great reasponsibility'." "Who's Spiderman?" said Ron. They ignored the question.

Harry held on to Ella tightly. "Its ok, Ella. Don't worry. You're mother will find out everything…I know she will," he whispered into her hair. She nodded, sobbing lightly. "Its just that…I miss him so much. Luigi….he was only 13…" she sobbed.

Flashback

"Milords, I have terrible news," said the man, in Italian. "What is it, Jaseau?" said Prince Blackwater. "Its Luigi…he's been Killed…by a bunch of Death eaters…." Said the man. Ella gasped. "No…Luigi! He can't be dead! No!!!" shrieked Ella, tears rolling down her face. "I'm afraid it is, Princess. Your Brother put up a valiant fight…" the man said, his voice sad. Ella burst into tears.

End of Flashback

Harry sighed. "Ella, we'll get them. Don't worry. The world will be happy again…" he whispered. "But I just want my brother back…they killed a young boy who's only crime, in their eyes, was to protect muggles," she said, sobbing. "Here, have a sugar quill, and go to bed. You'll feel better in the morning," he muttered in her hair, and sent her off, so that he could face the boy standing in the shadows, waiting for him.

"Blaise, I don't think I can do this," he said. "I know. I heard everything. Will she be ok?" he said. Harry nodded. "She carries a great burden. But she'll be back to normal tomorrow. But don't be surprised if she avoids Malfoy completely," said Harry, with a sigh. "I know. How could she not? He could be one of her enemies. She'll come through just fine…but Malfoy…I'm not so sure," Blaise said, with a soft sigh. "I hope you understand Blaise. I can't set her up with him. Her heart is already scarred. I won't let her get hurt again." "I understand Harry. But Draco....he's scarred too...no love from his parents, an image to keep up... he just wants to be loved. He's not gonna take this too well...she's the first person he's ever loved, and ever will. I can tell from the way he thinks of her, the way he holds her…sigh….how am I going to break this to him?"" said Blaise, pain etched on his handsome features.

"Break what to me Blaise?" said a platinum blonde boy in the shadows. He stayed there, but both of them jumped. "Draco! Um-you see," said Blaise, not knowing how to break it to him. "You love her," said Harry. "Yes," he said, softly. "But are you a death eater? Because if you are, she will spurn you utterly and completely. They killed her brother when he was 13. The only thing he was doing was protecting muggles. She was only 8. Her heart broke, and a hatred towards all death eaters entered into that innocent heart of hers. So if you are a death eater, Malfoy, like your mother and father, you know what to expect," said Harry, softly, in a voice he was not accustomed to using around Malfoy. And then he turned and walked away, leaving a very akward Blaise Zabini with a heart-broken Draco Malfoy, crying in the shadows he was hiding in.

Well, I really hope you liked it! I know, the last part is sad. I feel bad for him too…but I feel sorry for Ella too…. Sigh. But just wait…the next few chapters are going to be in the 7th year….Just so you know what to expect… but maybe the next chappie, I may enter a bit more about her past, and how her friendship/love with Draco ended. So plz be a bit patient!!!! :)
