Harry's POV

Harry was by the fireplace with Hermione and Ron, anxiously waiting for Sirius to reply to Harry's letter. It was close to midnight, and Hermione obviously still thought the others were over reacting, she sat there patiently with her arms folded around her whilethe other two started to doze off.

"Harry!" A familiar voice exclaimed.

"Sirius?" Harry asked, leaning towards fire, to see his god father's face.

"Yes, I got your letter. I have to make it quick- the rest of the order doesn't want me to be telling you this," Sirius said hurryingly, "this blonde girl, Annabeth, from what I foundout from Dumbledore that she's a juvenile delinquent from the United States of America, no one really knows why Dumbledore is even taking her in, you know the old man,never giving his reasons, anyway, you need to stay away from them both.

Now Harry was concerned. Neville had been hanging aroundthose two for about two weeks now.

"Neville!What about the other one?" Ron asked.

Sirius hesitated before continuing on.

"Like the Malfoys, the Greengrasses were a highly respected pure-blood family. They were also believed to be Death Eaters. Several years after You-Know-Who's death, the Order got word that the Greengrass's where planning his revival, we sent a teamof Aurors to arrest them but when they gotthere-" Sirius's face grew solemn at the memory.

"What happened?" Harry inquired.

Sirius had to take another breathe, before continuing; "When the Aurors arrived at the scene," Sirius took adeep breath. "They saw Astoria, taking several books and shoving them into abag, she was having an argument with her parents. The aurors triedto stop her, but she jumped out of the window, they apperated outside the moment she jumped, but she was gone. They went back up to arrest her parents but They went dead. We later found out that a few of the books she stole were books of banned spells, including revival magic."

Harry was stunned. He closed his jaw and tried to take in the new information he now had. He lookedover to his friends, Hermione had her eyes closed in concentration, already strategizing their next move, Ron was dumbfounded.

"So what you're saying is-," Harry started,

"That she overheard her parents plan, and killed them deciding that she would do it herself and ran off?" Hermione asked.

Sirius nodded. "No one bothered to look for her after that,the whole order presumed her for dead."

"That can't be true!" Someone from behind shouted, causing everyone to jump.

"That just can't' be true... I trusted her." Neville voice wavered.

Neville's POV

Neville knew that Mia was going to meet up with Malfoy tonight, just like every night. He had caught Mia and Annabeth sneaking out onenight and made the explain themselves. Ineed to talk to her. Neville thought to himself, as he ran out of the common room.

"Neville! Wait!" Hermione yelled, but it was too late, hewas gone.

I need a place to talkin privet with Mia, I need a place t otalk in privet with Mia, I need a place to talk in privet with Mia. Neville thought as he paced in front of the room of requirement. He swung the door open.

"Neville? What's going on?"

"How did you get in here?" questioned Malfoy, but Neville ignorehim

"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Neville demanded. "about the day you ran away."

"You told him?" Malfoy questioned

"Draco, stay out of this" she ordered. " I told you everything already, I had already decided that I was going to run away, but whenI was going to find some books from the library to take with me, my parents were there taking to a strange man, so I waited, when they were done the man left but he and my parents noticed me so my parents and I started to fight I gotso mad I just grabbed the books that were sitting out and they kept yelling atme that they wouldn't let me leave, then a man with a strange eye stormed in along with some other people I panicked and jumped out the window and apperated to New York because I remembered reading about it."

"No that was a lie," Neville argued. "Your parents where planning to bring you-know-who back and you decided to do it yourself.

"I don't even know what they were talking about!" when I went into the room they kept asking me what I heard, but they thought I was lying!"Mia was now yelling and she looked like she was on the verge of tears. " They tried to torture the information out ofme." She wept. "That's went the other people came."

Neville's expression changed from angry to sorrowful. "I'm sorry" he said "My parents were tortured too. It must be hard for anyone to keep their sanity after an experience like that, but it still isn't a reason to kill someone."

Mia stared at him in utter disbelief. "What do you mean kill? My parents aren't dead; they'rethe ones who probably think I'm dead. Draco would have told me!" she turned to Malfoy "Right! You would have told me!" Malfoy's head hung low and he didn't respond.

"Right?"

Malfoy walked over to Mia and wrapped his arms around her tryingto comfort her.

"I'm sorry," he whispered "I just couldn't find the right time to tell you."

She looked up at him, "You mean they're really-," Malfoy could only nod.

Mia started to cry silently into Malfoy's shirt.

Neville got out of there as soon as Mia started to cry. I'm soo stupid! He thought.

That was insensitive of me, what kind of reaction was I hoping I would get? Mia seemed so sad too. Neville thought about Mia. He hoped that she would be able to cope.

Neville waited on the couch in front of the fire and waited for Mia to come back so that he could apologize. He looked around , but he was the only one there. I hope she'll be thought to himself

The door opened and closed.

"Mia?" he asked

"Yeah" she smiled sitting down next to him. All traces of tears were gone

"You okay?"

"I'm fine" she replied

"I'm sorry, it was stupid of me to confront you like that."

"It's alright," she assured him. "I would have fond out sooner or later." Then Mia got serious. "The only problem is where did you get such an idea?"

Neville froze he didn't know what to say.

"Rumors." He blurted out, luckily she seemed satisfied with his answer.

"So what are you doing for Christmas holidays?" Neville askedin a desperate attempt to change the subject .

"Annabeth and I are going back to New York, you should come with us!"

Neville was taken back, "umm maybe, I mean I would have to ask my gran first."

" Go ahead,I'm just going to go back to my dorm then, seeya"
