Next day, Eliza met Harry in the Common Room. She only showered and changed into her robes before walking out, avoiding the aftermath. Unfortunately, it didn’t work as she wanted and she met Harry when she last expected.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC5BNJ6fnp

“I-“908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJg3TqAve
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIk3ILSup
They both started, making Harry laugh but not Eliza. In the end, she nodded towards him to continue.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJMARIuEi
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9DEKxG8uq
“How are you feeling?” He asked, already knowing the answer but he couldn’t think of anything at the moment.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZfjmRGlie
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXqbQaS2KV
Eliza wasn’t stupid. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask her and she was ready to give him every answer he wanted.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdICcylwq
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknG3HHEo79
“Fine. I’m just fine. I’m not going-“908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa5TPa3CMP
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaMVrjuqgk
“You don’t have to apologize for not telling me who you are. We both know I wouldn’t have reacted well. But we know the truth now,” He started, very serious and hopeful for some reason.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEvsqbfYLK

The brunette sighed and sat on the couch, feeling fidgety. Harry sat on her other side, his eyes boring into her face. He really wanted her to say something to him, something rude even just so he could assure himself that they were still friends. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlervEns2P
Sirius was her father and his godfather; that couldn’t bring more happiness to him really. He had a family that he didn’t know about, one that was ready to welcome him with open arms.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX81Ag82KP
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19lEDl23eQ
“Where is my father?” She asked in such a soft voice that Harry almost didn’t catch it.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEmujN0VtU
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj74gfXUPSm
“He’s alright. We used Hermione’s time turner to help Sirius escape with Buckbeak,” He whispered fully aware that it wasn’t exactly the place for such conversations.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcbyG0xki5
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMipaHfFkr0
Hearing that her father was safe ceased her worries. If Sirius was fine then Remus should be fine, as well. It was just a matter of time for her godfather to recuperate.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1SVQRWLRi
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYIQwxH7Lh
“You know, Remus told me a lot about their adventures in Hogwarts and how troublesome our fathers used to be,” She started, making Harry chuckle softly. “He told me we resemble them so much... But are we friends?” 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5wRTftML
“I want to believe we are. We don’t have to be as close as our fathers but we can be friends. We are friends, aren’t we?” He asked. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7bXpzNMF
“I guess we are,” She admitted finally. “Thank you for saving my father, Harry.” Now that was a real shock for both of them.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIlrzDPoFG
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7RYlkFk2P
“You said it before, haven’t you? You never turn your back on your family. You and Sirius, you two are my family now.”908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTgsCbrC2W
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCcsQwkPpT
“These are big words for someone who just met his godfather,” She joked.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5bE01n9xt
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnX9wumyN1
The atmosphere became lighter now that they admitted they won’t break their friendship after what happened. If anything, Harry looked quite happy with it.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO1tPxuuof
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIMqI2dyYL
“What about the rest?” She asked, remembering Hermione and Ron. They were the only ones who knew the truth about her family except Harry.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDWFcxFiV

“They already got over it, believe me. If not, they will come to their senses in a few days and everything will be like before,” He was so sure of it, like they have been through that before. "Professor Lupin- he resigned. Snape told everyone that he's a werewolf and..."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9JFAP06Pv
Eliza bit her lip and leaned back, "It's probably for the best."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3oXXaw59r
"What about you? You came with him, didn't you? What will you do next year?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35IOhVvMVq
That was a question she asked herself already and the answer came from Dumbledore himself. She was a witch just like any other and the time she spent in Hogwarts was irreplaceable. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyaGmEz01v
"There's still a lot I don't know. I need education, don't I?" 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWJ5vj59Ur
Harry smiled and nodded. That was a good enough answer for him.
The rest of the days passed quickly and Eliza found herself in front of Hogwarts Express between Dean and Seamus. She already talked to Remus and couldn’t help but accept the fact that he won’t return as a professor the next year. However, he assured her that Dumbledore won’t let anyone find out the truth about her family. She could return to Hogwarts for the rest of the years without a problem and he will be there for her, waiting at the other end of Hogwarts Express.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUxLWcqKhv

“This year has been eventful,” Dean started before going into a full story about Quidditch. 908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvlhUoJUpk
Seamus seemed to have already lost interest and Neville was only partially listening to Dean.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicOSJqMoO7
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK9KzYZm3J
She sneaked out without a problem an hour later and walked in search for Harry. She wanted to ask him if he wanted to visit Sirius with her later in July but she met someone she completely forgot about.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeRoU35qPP
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBUdCTaXvm
“Malfoy,”908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXH7uo6TD

“Molley,”908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcT3kZPn3z

Thankfully, he didn’t say anything else and passed without touching her. But she couldn’t help wonder if Draco let his father know who he met in Hogwarts this year.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7QZdveNLs
Actually, no; she really wanted Lucius Malfoy to know she was there. She wanted to meet him and ask him why Ophelia Molley was murdered and what kind of friendship they had before.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhUm9Cgp9b
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoKMZNoWKW
Truthfully, Eliza couldn’t wait for her second year at Hogwarts.
