The Quidditch game began an hour after she got her fair share of bullying in the afternoon. Everyone was watching while the weather conditions outside were worsening.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2Q1pz0HR
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUBD0bI2Mh
Eliza wasn’t a huge fan of Quidditch even if she liked playing and liked flying around; no, she chose to stay in and wander the castle on her own. That was how she met Nearly Headless Nick again, right in front of the Great Hall.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoC2r9V6DN
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqHPLzlCUJ
“You knew my parents, didn’t you?” She asked, taking a seat outside the Hall. He nodded and flew in front of her. “How was my mother?” She asked curiously.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1naxxWTZC
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw284O1Ign
“You want to know how she met your father, don't you?” He told smugly, reading her act. “Unlike Lilly and James Potter, your parents took very little to understand they are good for each other but they never acted on impulse; at least, not your mother. She was a bit of an introvert and kept everything to herself.” He stopped, knowing that he shouldn’t tell her more, as Dumbledore requested.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTv1C9bd1
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjEvbOP76E
“Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Petter Pettigrew. These names, what do they mean now compared to what they meant back then?” She asked slowly, placing her thoughts in order.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g9ZHjDYu2
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBVRQKKk7L
“Now, they are forgotten names of wizards who either fell victims to the Dark Lord or became traitors. Back then,” The ghost chuckled bemusedly, “They were definitely what you would call the golden crew; four young boys having fun and learning magic just like you and the rest of the students are doing now.”902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vyH3Cgg5D
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhJXeNo4UK
“What about the Slytherins who became Death Eaters?”902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ir6HCZIK
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp7EhB3VQw
That question was already too close for him and he wasn’t prepared to disappoint Dumbledore. He tilted his head to the side and walked through the wall. He ran away, avoiding questions regarding Slytherins.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM5cvpPQ7r
Eliza was on her way to the Common Room when she heard her name being called from the hall. Her head spun around faster than her body, making her dizzy for a moment before she met Hermione’s scared face.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3UCZhC8T
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yD4cXUP8
“Harry got attacked by a dementor!” She started, so fast that Eliza barely understood. “He’s in the hospital wing now but his broom broke,” She filled her friend in while grabbing her hand and dragging her behind.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pYKCA5vT8
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGHOsCfQdD
“That is unexpected,” Eliza wasn’t very touched by Harry’s unfortunate meeting with the dementor and that was obvious in her tone. Hermione rolled her eyes and led Eliza to the hospital wing.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaN9eTc4Hl
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEDNmJgtXD
There, the brunette wasn’t sure why she had to be brought with all the other friends from the team lurking around Harry’s bed. Besides, he was looking well for someone who just met a dementor.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GC1vEBRa9
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe82FRRopw
However, for him it seemed like her appearance meant something because he smiled gratefully.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAUDUI5lnC
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQ3c1leXx
It was next day when Harry got discharged that he looked after her. It was confusing when he met Remus instead, who led him outside for a chat. The professor looked tired and wanted nothing but to sleep.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYt4sW12Bc
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxphcMFALR
Meanwhile, Eliza was writing her essay on the Second World War, which was a big thing for muggles. From what she found out, Russia and Germany represented a threat from the early stages and Hitler was the man with the mustache that killed more than half a population only because they were Jewish; the Holocaust was called.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1AgzZE8MH
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb11If9kh6X
“This man should have been hexed out of the picture,” She mumbled while writing down a shorter version of what was written in the book.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEoFRvcT6G
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvin3kymCU
“That would’ve been impossible.” Someone responded, taking her by surprise.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xoUcbl7SS
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlPgO9Q8d0
Eliza’s head rose quickly and looked around for the person who talked to her. It was a boy dressed in normal clothes, probably preparing for the upcoming break. Eliza still couldn’t believe how fast time passed and how close was Christmas.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjiORn2q3x
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VfBze0DFJ
“Sorry to interrupt. I only came to return a book and heard you talking from around the corner,” He walked closer to her, showing how tall and handsome he was. “I’m Cedric Diggory, by the way. I’m a fifth year,” He smiled softly, showing the usual trait of his house: Hufflepuff’s kindness an charms.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMwriAdrM
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIdmXMYZGI
“Oh. I’m Eliza Molley, third year,” She introduced herself, getting up quickly and pushing a few books off the table in the process. He had to help her gather them, making her blush faintly. “Thanks,” She mumbled, getting a book from him.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqSukpFcNK
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PO00u3zqA
“I know who you are. You have a few fans in Hufflepuff, my good friend being one of them.” He chuckled, making her raise an eyebrow in confusion.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJjAVVovVy
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMq1OlTSUd
“Fans? But I just transferred here a few months ago and I’m definitely not a social butterfly,” She responded, completely unaware of how funny Cedric was finding her.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQngeqc0FZ
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDc6uPki9q
“You have been noticed, believe me.” Those words only made her blush more, her ears getting really red. “So, the Second World War. You’re not doing well at muggle studies, are you?” He changed the subject.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uB8vE6HQR
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXblAITmAVW
“I’m not because there are so many names!” She moaned sitting and getting back to writing. The deadline was tomorrow and she wasn’t even halfway. “So many things happened. I don’t know how muggles can look so happy after all this destruction,” She continued, making him nod and sit across her.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5tAR7Mqzk
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyHzrKTXRq
“I have a free period now. If you want I can help you.” She couldn’t say no and he knew it. It was too much for her and she gladly accepted any help.
It was really peaceful for the next hour or so and Cedric genuinely helped her shorten the material by a lot. The essay was over and so was the one about werewolves that was due a few hours ago. For Charms, the only thing Eliza was doing wrong was control; she was putting too much force into her charms and could only start it but not handle it to the end.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPb7izsPAC
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVrjSyKWXr
"Would you like me to help you with charms, as well?" Cedric asked but she shook her head. 902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN116A6e3LB
"No, it's alright. Thanks for helping me with Muggle Studies. You should go spend quality time with your friends before you leave." She said as she gathered her essays.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12mfeKLCHl
"Are you sure?" He asked gently but Eliza only nodded her head. "Are you staying here for Christmas?" He continued when she moved to place the books back in the library.
"No. I have a lot to catch up on, especially Divination," She mumbled, her tone dripping with anything but excitement.
Cedric found it amusing and laughed it off, "I believe that is not one you are good at? Seeing the future, I mean."
Eliza chuckled and rolled her eyes as she put the last book on the shelf, "I'm that kind of person who doesn't have the curiosity what will happen beforehand. Especially in Potions," She whispered the last part but Cedric heard it alright.
"You're not the only one who hates Slytherins, especially Professor Snape." He commented, though he tried his best to keep his voice down.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQzUGw90z
Eliza glanced at him with a grin, "That's the only future I'd like to catch a glimpse of: his downfall,"
After her little studying time with Cedric, Eliza was merrier. she knew she had to go and give Snape her werewolf essay a long time ago but she didn't seem to be in any hurry.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUp8g3jpdl
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkfNlADFX6
Actually, now that she was walking towards the dungeons, she was curious where Willy sent the letter because it definitely didn’t reach her father. When asked if he knew where to go, he nodded so he went somewhere and handed the letter to someone, but whom?902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8y1lIxdT5
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl89qNJOw7g
The Slytherin house was pretty much the whole dungeon and the few portraits on the walls were glaring at her. When she finally got in front of Snape's office she shuddered, feeling a chill down her spine.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DZGehrYsq
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxPLzYAx4z
“Are you going to enter or not? I don’t have all day,” His voice beamed from inside.
When Eliza pushed the door open and entered, Snape could swear he saw Ophelia coming to him for help with Potions. Her dark curls would move on her shoulders while walking in like she was a noble. But Eliza had something Snape had only seen at Sirius Black and he hated it; he hated how many memories a kid could trigger in his mind and he hated how his precious Lily and the warm yet sarcastic Ophelia got taken away by those Marauders.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHYXyvas0F
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm6CTrbp4J
“Black,” He spit with venom, having the stupid face of the young Sirius in his mind. “What are you doing here?”902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIddNfWm7
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7PcK2d3ll
“I have the werewolves’ essay that I couldn’t give on time because I had other problems,” She mumbled while walking closer to his desk. 902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4InQUrHeT
His glare was murderous, “That does not concern me. You have not given me the homework in time; you get extra work on the break,” He started, not even glancing at her essay.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmjJgtAsud
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8d6byUzGU
Eliza’s eyes widened and tried her best not to vex his face. Snape could see her grasping the edge of his desk with one hand while the other was grasping the paper tightly.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtghCUX3eU
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2kn0gtan7
“I want ten pages about defensive spells,” He started. She was ready to comment but he suddenly rose and grabbed something from his desk. “And no matter how much it would pleasure me to have your father caught and sent back to Azkaban where he belongs, don’t send letters that could reveal your identity.”902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJPDO4MvCv
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqv5uV8ND5
Her eyes widened when he pushed the letter into her hand with a scowl.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqo9mEYzjP
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPsbwO9yBM
“You have been a friend of my mother, haven’t you?” She started, startling him. “Why are you so rude to me? I haven’t done anything to you and neither did my mother!” She yelled, finally losing her patience.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj3dCROTJ2
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwYL9pAaBS
“That does not concern you. Now leave!” He was taller than her and so much more imposing but she inherited her father’s stubborn personality and didn’t budge from her spot.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2BDx7PaLY
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WteXFYOOR
“No. I want to know what my mother’s relationship was with you, Malfoy and Regulus. All of you have ended up as Death Eaters, haven’t you?” She continued, her eyes narrowing on her professor.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3EXwW9Kgt
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hy0vU3Sd7
Snape actually seemed to ponder her question for a few minutes before he decided that if she wasn’t going to leave nicely, he will. He couldn’t tell her anything and not because he promised Dumbledore but because he promised Ophelia.
For the whole Christmas break, Eliza spent most of her time practicing charms with Remus and playing with her black kitten who was the newest member of the family.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCjSHN8y3u
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZ3Wgoegl
“You should give him a name,” 902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivbmBDjFsK
“What about Mooney?” She started bemusedly, “Or what about Furvus? It means Black in Latin. It’s a dead language yet most spells are in Latin, aren’t they? Besides, it means obscure, dark just like my family background.” Her explanation was done so well that it sent a chill down Lupin’s spine.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuy0gJZRAc
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0mQDaUA1
“You’re prying too deep, Eliza.” Remus threatened, though he was really worried how far she could go with that.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpIeeV9Gxo
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQcaQODOy
She chuckled from her seat at the table and grabbed another book she got from Hermione; it was a muggle fantasy book called The Hobbit and no matter how confusing it was, it was very entertaining.902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA560OJCB8
902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6jjr3VZk6
“Not deep enough.” She mumbled, hiding her face behind the book.
