Disclaimer: Would we be posting stuff on Fanfiction.net if we owned it? There's kind of a clue in the name of the site that we don't...

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for a few days, I haven't been just not trying honestly. I was at my Grandma's house and there was NO internet at all, it was infuriating.

So here we are, the next chapter

Enjoy ;-)

Chapter 2 (1) – A Chat In The Fire

'LARISSA!' Molly shouted up the stairs one afternoon, Larissa came rushing down the stairs to her.

'Yes Molly?'

'You have a call in the fire for you,'

'I do? Who is it?'

'I'd better leave it to you,' she said, and then went up the stairs.

Larissa frowned, and wondered why Molly wasn't telling her who it was that was wanting to speak to her, she walked in, and looked at the fire. She bit her lip, trying to keep control of her temper, she walked over and knelt down by the fire.'

'What do you want?' She asked icily to the head of her cousin,

'I want to talk to you,' he replied,

'Talk.' She said in a board voice,

He stared at her for a moment, on the verge of speaking, he tried a few times to say whatever it was that he had to say,

'Spit it out, I haven't got all day you know.'

'I'm sorry.' He said finally, the words seemed to linger in the air, before they sunk in

'What?'

'You heard what I said.'

'Your apology is not accepted.'

He stared at her incredulously for a moment before saying, 'Is there nothing I can do?'

'You could start by doing something more than just apologizing. After everything that you've done.'

'Like what?'

'Like you handed us in to Umbridge-'

'Technically, that wasn't you, just your friends.' He cut in

'You dragged me around the school-'

'I was spending time with you,'

'You duelled me, and chucked things at me-'

'I was only defending myself'

'We could do this all day. Goodbye.' That was for more than just the conversation

'Wait, let me make it up to you.'

'How?'

'You'll just have to wait and see then won't you?' he said with a small smile, before vanishing. Larissa willed herself not to be interested, but her curiosity got the better of her, and she spent a long time wondering about what Draco could possibly do to make it up to her.

Remus stopped by, the next morning before anyone was up, to give Arthur some information to do with the Order. Larissa, however, heard Remus' hushed voice down below, and came running down the stairs.

'Remus!' she said, running up to give him a hug, 'Are you avoiding me?' She let go of him, and looked at him skeptically,

'Why would I be avoiding you Lissa?'

'Well, last time you visited dad, you didn't come to see me, and this time I wasn't supposed to be awake.'

'I'm not avoiding you,' he paused for a moment, 'how did you know I visited your father?'

Larissa's cheeks flushed slightly, 'I heard.' She said simply

'Oh... I'm sorry,'

'It's okay, why was dad like that though?'

'He's under a lot of stress at the moment,'

'Is it because of mum?' she asked quietly,

Remus was silent for a second, before replying, 'partly,'

'What's the other part?'

'It's complicated, I'll explain it to you when I have more time. But for now I must be going,' he said his goodbyes, and was gone within the next few minuets.

Larissa went back up to the room she was sharing with Ginny and Hermione, and sat on the bed, thinking.

An hour or two later, Larissa, Ginny, and Hermione went down to breakfast, and Molly told them that they would be going to Diagon Alley for the day to get any new school supplies that they would need. The book lists had come earlier that morning along with Harry, Ron, and Hermione's OWL results. They all did well, with Hermione doing the best, and everyone was very happy for them.

A/N: I hope you liked it,
