A/N: Review Answers. Okay to Silver'ssong:
I didn't sound like a flame at all. Yes I know cutting shouldn't be written lightly. One of my friends use to cut herself. And you're right about Harry and I'm going to put that in the summery. The reason I didn't was because I suck at writing summaries. And I need constructive critisizame. I actually like it, so thanks.
To Mira SeverusSirius Black-Snape:
I'm not that good at writing a third persons point of view. My strongest is from a characters point of view. Sorry.
Thank you all for your review's it's actually a lot of fun reading them so keep on giving me some please. Also still need help with the girls name. Once I have her name I'm going to go back and change the chapter's. But for now I'm going to keep it as Adele for now but still open to ideas.
"Are you okay, Lelah?" Mason asked.
Mason is younger brother. He was in fourth year while I am in my sixth year. Mason was the only family I had left right now.
In my first year at Hogwarts, Mason was tortured by our parents. When I came home for the summer, Mason was a wreck. He had deep circles under his eyes with bruises that littered his body.
Mason new what it was like to be tortured. He was closer to me then Draco. He also knew about me cutting. He hates it that I cut myself but he doesn't yell or shout about it, he just voices his opinion in a calm manner. He understands me more then anyone, and was there after every time I was tortured by our parents as I was there for him when was tortured. When our parents died in his first year and my third year it was hard and sad, but we knew we wouldn't be tortured by our parents again. After they died, I went mute for two months or more. Mason also knew about my feelings for Harry.
"I think so." I said, in a shaky voice.
"What happened?" Mason asked his arms tightening around me.
Knowing he wouldn't drop the subject, I told him everything. I told him from when I came out of the library to when I sat down under the tree. When I told him about Harry using the curse on me, he let out a small growl and his arms tightened around me even more, as if he could protect me from something or someone.
After that we just stayed like that until we heard foot steps coming. When I looked up I saw Harry's friend that was the girl.
"What do you want?" Mason said, angrily.
"I wanted to make sure Adele was okay." Hermione said.
"Why do you care?" Mason said still angry.
"Because unlike the idiots I call friends, I don't hate Adele. I actually hope to be friends with her." Hermione said.
"Thanks. I would like to be friends with you, Hermione." I said.
"Great. I think we should be heading back. It's almost curfew." Hermione said before walking back to the castle with us behind her. We walked until we reached the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione went into the common room first leaving Mason and I alone.
"Are you sure you don't want me to teach Potter a lesson?" Mason asked half joking.
"No. It'll be fine." I said with a small smile.
"Okay fine. I'll meet you on the outside of the Great Hall after breakfast to go to Hogsmeade."
"Okay. See you tomorrow." I said before Mason gave me a good bye hug and kissed the top of my head.
Then he headed up the stairs. I waited until he was inside the portrait hole before going down to the dungeon. When I got inside, I found Draco sitting in a chair watching the door.
"Why aren't you in bed?" I asked.
"I was waiting for you. I wanted to make sure you were okay." Draco said.
"Thanks. I'm fine. I was with Mason and Hermione. And before you say it she's not that bad so don't pick on her anymore. She's a good friend." I said.
"Fine." Draco said.
"Well goodnight. See you tomorrow." I said.
I walked up the stairs to the girls dorms, crawled into bed and fell asleep. The next morning, I quickly got dressed, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, grabbed my jacket, and ran to the Great Hall. Just as he promised, Mason was standing there waiting for me.
"Hi." I said as I walked up to him.
"Hey." Mason said in a happy tone. "Are you doing better?"
"Yeah. Can we not talk about that?"
"Of course." Mason said as he draped his arm around my shoulder.
"People are going to think we're a couple."
"Well, then they'll know to stay away from my sister." Mason said half joking.
"Oh shut up!" I said, laughing. "Besides no one here would go out with me anyway."
"Then why Potter glaring daggers at us?" I looked out of the corner of my eye to see Mason was right.
"He's probably mad that he can't bully me right now." I said. "Come on lets go to the train."
We got on the train getting a compartment with Draco at first Draco was on my left and Mason was on my right near the window. Then Harry and his friends came in.
"Do you mind? Everywhere else is full." Hermione asked. Draco and Mason were about to say no before I cut in.
"No. We don't mind at all." I said. "Do we?"
"No." Draco and Mason grumbled.
The three of the sat across from us. Hermione sat across from me, Harry sat across from Mason, and Ron sat across from Draco. Ron glared at Draco and Harry glared at Mason, who had his arm now around my waits. Hermione and I just rolled our eyes at the four of them.
"So, Lelah how are you?" Hermione asked.
"I'm fine. How about you?" I asked.
"Oh I'm fine. How about you Mason? Draco?" Hermione asked.
"Fine." Mason said still glaring at Harry.
"Just peachy." Draco said, through gritted teeth.
"Well then." I said, in an awkward tone. "So, Hermione did you finish the potions homework?"
"Yeah. Did you need help with it or something?" Hermione said.
"With the last few questions." I said as the train stopped. "Well, I'll see you guys later. It was nice talking to you Hermione."
"You too, Lelah." Hermione said as Draco, Mason, and I left.
After the three of us walked a while Draco left saying he wanted to meet Pansy for their date. Mason and I kept on walking aimlessly around until we came up to the shrieking shack. Our feet where getting tired so we decided to sit down under on of the nearby trees. We just sat there talking about random stuff until we heard foot steps coming our way.
"Well well well, if it isn't the slag and one of her boy-toys." Harry said. Okay that really hurt. Mason was seething next to me. "Where's you other boytoy, Draco?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Mason asked, outraged.
"It's not hard to put two and two together. Draco was all over her yesterday and now you're all over her today." Harry shot back.
"Because you tortured her yesterday." Mason said now standing. "Draco was trying to comfort her since he's her adopted brother!"
"Then what about you then?" Harry said taking a step forward. "You seem to be quite cozy with Adele."
"That's because, you git, I'm her b-!" Mason all be yelled.
"Mason don't he's not worth it." I said, cutting Mason off. I didn't wanting anything to happen to him. "Lets just go."
"Fine." Mason said.
I grabbed Mason's hand, pushing past Harry as I lead Mason back to the train. Once we got to the train, we chose a compartment in the back. The ride back was silent. Mason just held me as I cried. I couldn't believe Harry said that. The great Harry-freaking-Potter said that. Well I guess he's not as nice as everyone says.
When we got back, Mason and I just walked around the grounds until it was time to go to bed. We both said bye before going our separate ways. When I got into bed I fell fast asleep. Today seriously drained me. I just hoped that tomorrow would be a better day.
