(A/N): Hey Guys! So, art wasn't so bad, I finished my work and got told I was going to fail because of my poor attendance, though I'm apparently an 'outstanding student' despite that. *shrugs* I guess I'm just weird like that.

Anyway, I'm uploaded this chapter from an ipad, which is where I typed it all up... twice. You know how that happened? I typed it all out, then forgot which button was the submit one. Yepppp, I'm that dumb.

So, despite shortness, I hope you enjoy this chappie, and please know that there are a few minor plot twists on their ways.

Disclaimer: I can't afford to buy new shoes, and you think I'm J.K? Get out.

Despite having grown up with few friends and being two years younger than me, Mia fit in rather well with my group of friends.

Well, she wasn't silent the whole time, and didn't seem nervous, which surprised me.

Almost every time she had ever spoken her voice had shook, but ever since she had started Hogwarts, I had noticed that the shaking was gone.

Only when she was nervous, when she was around my mother.

Not that I could really blame her.

My mother is the one of the only things I'm afraid of, one of the only things I have reason to be afraid of.

As a full-human- or, well, quarter veela- she had so much more to fear from my mother, or anything else.

But I was seeing a side of her I had never gotten to see before: A confident Mia.

Full of fire that wasn't just petty rebellion for once. Then again, the few times she had rebelled against our mother, she knew I would always be the one to take the protect her.

The one to get hurt because of what she had done.

She didn't rebel much, luckily, only when she was too young and stupid to realise what the scars my mother gave me meant, or when she was too angry to care what her actions meant for me.

I could see that they all knew I was lying about what happened over the summer, Elaine and Remus especially keeping an eye on me, and I also knew when we got back to Hogwarts, or maybe even on the train, they would corner and question me, but I didn't feel like talking just yet.

(A/N): So, what did you think?

Also, the next chapter has to be one of my ultimate favourite's just because the end line always gives me chills. So watch out! :P
