Chapter 3: Returning

School was coming to an end and still she had not woken up. James was getting better but was still not speaking to anyone but his sister. Their mother sat on a chair next to her, her face still as white as a sheet as it had been when she first saw her daughter.

On the last day of school, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey walked in to the Hospital Wing with some Healers. The head Healer walked towards May and began her routine check. She stood up straight shaking her head. “What? What is it?” Mrs Potter spoke. James was looking up at her.

“I am sorry but I see no improvement in her. I believe that you should let her go. Let her sleep peacefully.”

- - - - - - - - – - – - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

“WHAT?” James shouted for the first time in a while. “NO! No. No way! I am not letting you give up on her.” His hand gripped around his sister's.

“James...” His mother spoke softly. “It might be the best for her. She may never wake up.”

“Mother! Don't say that!” He cried out. “Father!” Turning to his father for support. Both James and May were the spitting image of their father; unruly black hair, hazel eyes. His father shook his head. “NO! I am not going to let her die.” Turning his gaze back to his sister. “Don't leave me. May? You hear me?” His face inches from her unconscious one. “May, don't leave me.” He sobbed over her body.

“James...” His father spoke quietly as he placed a hand on his son's shoulder. “Let her go. She'd want you to.”

“No, she wouldn't!” He roared. “She would never give up. Never!” Standing up and facing his father. “I am not giving up on her! I am never giving up on her!”

“James...” His father said calmly. “Let us have a proposition. If she has not pulled out of her coma at the end of next week, we'll let her go. Just a week James.” His son nodded gravely and sat back next to May, gripping her hand tightly.

“Fight it May.” He whispered tears falling onto their clasped hands. “Come home.” The others watched him for a moment and left him to watch over his little sister.

“Will she live?” McGonagall asked the healers.

“Unlikely.” The Head Healer answered and looking over at the patient and her brother. “I don't think James will be giving up on her.”

“No.” Mrs Potter whispered. “He won't risk losing her. They're too close. Can you try talking to him, Albus?”

The old wizard shook his head gently. “James and May are both as stubborn as each other. Neither will let go of the other unless it was absolutely necessary. Right now, James is not giving up on May because she is still fighting to live.”

James eyes were trained on his sister, watching her every breath. His hand wrapped tightly around hers. “Come on May.” He kissed her fingers softly, afraid of breaking her. They twitched as his lips touched them. “May?” He looked up at her face but saw no reaction. Continuing to watch his sister if there was any other reaction. Her fingers twitched again. “May!” He looked at her carefully. “May can you hear me?”

“Hmmm...” Her face made a frown as if she was being woken from a nice dream.

“Someone come!” James yelled at the top of his voice. “I think she's waking up.” Not tearing his eyes away from her. She turned her head slightly to the sound of his voice. “May?” Putting his face close to hers. “I'm here.”

The Head Healer rushed to the thirteen year old's side and began checking her over. “Merlin's beard.... She's waking up.” She checked her vitals and everything, there were definite signs of her slowly coming out of her coma.

“May?” Her mother spoke softly. “It's your mother. We're all here for you.” Her voice was filled with relief and gladness as May's eyes fluttered open but shut immediately in reaction to the bright light.

“May?” James whispered as the room grew dark around them. “It's darker now baby sister.”

“I... I... hb... you cal..ng m... t..at.” She mumbled as her eyes slowly opened, blinking to adjust to the darkness.

“What's wrong with her?” James looked at the Healer.

“Like I said before, she'll have troubles to start with. As she was in a coma for a while, she'll have trouble speaking but should be ok after a few hours.” She smiled. “Just keeping talking to her and she'll hopefully be talking much better.”

“Hey May. You look awful.” He joked.

“James!” His mother scolded. “How are you sweetie?” Smiling at her daughter.

“Sore.” She croaked. James immediately grabbed the cup of water on the bedside table next to her and held it for her as their mother lifted her to take a drink.

“Better?” James questioned as he set the drink back down and sat next to her, grasping her hand gently.

“James...” She croaked.

“It's me.” He smiled. “And mother and father.” Jerking his head over to their parents who were hovering at the end of her bed.

“Hi.” She gave a broken smile at her parents. “Mother, father.” Her voice sounding rough and coarse.

“Hi sweetie.” Mr Potter walked over to her side and sat on the other chair. “How you feeling?”

“Like I've been hit by a million bludgers.” She chuckled and winced. “So what's the damage?”

“May!” James scolded.

“What?! I want to know.” She smiled sadly, her voice in a whisper.

“Um... The fall down the stairs broke both your legs and one arm.” Her mother smiled as she sat by her husband but on May's bed. “The Healer thinks you'll have trouble walking. Um... She said there's a possibility you may never walk again.”

“What?” She said in disbelief and looked down at her covered legs. Her forehead creased into a frown as she tried to move her limbs. “Oh Merlin. Why? Why can't they fix them?” Tears formed in her eyes.

“They couldn't do anything until you were awake, baby sister.” James stroked her hand.

“Don't call me that!” She raised her voice. “I'm not a baby!”

“May calm down.” James said softly to her. “I know you're not a baby but I call you that out of habit.” He smiled at her, she matched it. “That's better. Don't you worry, I'll help you. I promise because Gryffindor are going to need you on the team at the start of the term.”

“When's the new term?”

“Not for a while. School has only just broken up.”

“Good. Enough time to get these gorgeous things moving.” Tapping her legs.

“Might take all summer May.” Her mother smiled at her. “Don't get your hopes up. Ok?”

“Yes mother.” Wrapping her arms around her mother's small waist. “You've lost weight again.”

“Been worried about you.” Kissing the top of her daughter's messier than usual hair.

“Mother...” May sighed. “You're meant to be watching your health.”

“Now you stop worrying.” The older female chuckled. “Can't help it if my daughter hasn't been well.”

“Just a cold(!)” She said sarcastically.

“Oh yes.” Laughing and kissing her head again. “I think you'll be able to come home soon. It's been quiet without you two.”

“How long until I can come home? I'm guessing we missed the train.”

“Yep.” James nodded. “They haven't said how long you'll have to stay in but I hope it's soon.”

“Why?” Narrowing her eyes at her brother. “What are you planning?”

“Nothing major. Just helping you get on your feet and walking and then beating your butt in quidditch.” He smirked.

“You know I'll beat you and plus I need to get training. I am so trying out this year. There's a chaser place open isn't there?”

“Oh yeah. Paul Goddard has left now. You are so in.” He laughed.

“James...” His father said softly. “One step at a time.”

“Sorry father.” He nodded.

“Hey! I haven't given my Papa a hug.” Moving her arms away from her mother and reaching them to him.

“Oh come here.” Pulling his daughter close to him. “Welcome back sweetie.” Hugging her tightly and rubbing her back.

“Missed you daddy.” She whispered and rubbed her face into his shoulder. “I want to come home. Please.”

“I'll go find out from Dumbledore, sweetie.” Kissing her cheek and standing up and walking away from her.

“I could be going home.” She smiled and sighed. “Yay.” She chuckled and winced.

“What is it?” James began to panic and his hands hovered over her.

“A sharp pain in my chest.” Frowning as she leaned forward.

For the first time in a while, the Healer stepped forward and spoke. “You broke some ribs so you will be sore for some time. I have healed them but you will feel some twinges.” She smiled and handed May's mother a vial. “You can go home now if you wish but I want you to have total bed rest for at least two weeks. Liz you know what to do.” Smiling at her.

“A Healer never forgets anything.” The elder female Potter smiled. When she was younger, Elizabeth Potter was an accomplished Healer.

“I didn't know you used to be a Healer.” James smiled at his mother.

“I finished when I fell pregnant with you.” She leaned over and ruffled his hair.

“Mum!” He groaned and tried to return it to its usual mess.

“James it was a mess anyway. Don't complain.” May smirked as she messed his hair also.

Their father returned with a big smile. “Tonight.”

“Really?!” She beamed.

“Yes. Your mother and James will be flooing home tonight.” He smiled brightly.

“Will I be able to?” Feeling a bit frightened.

“No, you're going on the Knight Bus with me just to be safe.” Thomas Potter grimaced.

“I think I'll be safer flooing.” She laughed. “Let's go then.”

“Miss Potter just a few more hours and then you can go.” The Healer said with a soft chuckle.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Potters returned home in peace. May was delighted to be home and be in her own bed for once. Even though she had been confined to bed completely until she was strong enough to walk with aid. It was 2 weeks into the summer holidays when she had the idea of trying to walk again. James stayed at her side for the entire time she came home. He was afraid of losing her again. Hope returned to her, she began to have feeling return to her feet and could move her toes but her legs felt like lead on a good day.

“Mother, I said I'd help her.” James spoke sternly.

“What if she will never be able to walk again?” Folding her arms.

“That's why I'm helping her. To walk again. She wants to.” Walking to his sister's room with a tray, covered with a silver lid. “Mother she nearly died. Learning to walk again is her living again.”

“James...”

“No Mother.” He said outside of May's room. “Stop it!” Opening the door to her room, walking in and shutting it behind him.

“She giving you a hard time?” The soft voice of May came from her bed.

“Big time!” He laughed. “So how's my favourite patient?”

“Wanting food.” She grinned. “Got any?”

He matched her grin. “Of course.” Setting the tray on the space next to her on her Queen sized bed. In a dramatic flourish he pulled away the metal lid to reveal... “Scrambled eggs on toast.” He announced.

“You know me too well.” She laughed and grimaced slightly. “Damn these pains.” Smoothing her hand over her ribs.

“Still giving you trouble?” Nodding his head towards her hand that was still placed over her ribs.

“Yeah.” Chuckling a little. “Food. Gimme!” Reaching her hands towards the food.

“Here.” Handing her the plate and then placing himself next to her.

“I can feed myself James. My legs are the only things not working properly, not my arms.”

“I didn't suggest it.” He chuckled, lying on the pillow looking at her.

“You were thinking it.” She joked as she put some eggs into her mouth. “These are good.” She mumbled.

“Thanks. Lookie cooked them for you especially. And for Padfoot.”

“Sirius is here?”

“Yeah. He got here this morning. He can't wait to see you and make fun of you.” He smiled as he leaned over and took a piece of toast.

“Hey! That's mine.” As her brother bit into the stolen piece of toast. “Make fun of me?” She chuckled. “He'll lose every time.”

“I did the job bringing it to you. That's enough work for me, isn't it?”

She giggled. “Too much work.” She lifted the plate. “Take this.” Holding it out to her brother.

He took the plate from her. “You haven't finished.” She ignored him and pushed her bed covers off her legs. “May. May, what are you doing?”

“I want to try, James.”

“Ok.” He jumped off the bed, putting the plate on her side table and stood at his sister's side. “Ready?”

He helped her swing her legs off the bed. She nodded silently as her feet hit the pale yellow carpet. Her feet were not flat on the soft surface, they rested at an angle.

“I'm ready.” She said in a deep breath.

“Ok.” He stood in front of her, holding his arms out. She gripped his arms, and slowly pulled herself up. Her balance immediately became unsteady. James' arms reached underneath her arms supporting her.

“Thanks.” She chuckled.

“One step at a time May. One step at a time.”

“I know.” Looking down at her feet. “Here we go.” Her right foot began to shake slightly as she transferred her weight onto it as her left foot moved forward slightly.

“Well done sis. Now the next one.” He steadied her in his arms. “Could you try to flatten your feet?”

Shakes her head. “No. It hurts.” Frowning as she tried and her right leg moved forward.

“You're doing great.” He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. “Want to stop?”

“No. I want it to be prefect.” She said as she moved her left leg. James stepped back to give her a little space.

“You're doing great.” A voice came from the door.

May looked up. “Hello Sirius.” Grinning as she moved her right leg again.

“Hello trouble.” He grinned. He didn't move from his position as he watched her pick up a little speed.

“You can come in. I don't bite.” She chuckled looking back down at her feet.

“Much.” James muttered as Sirius took a few steps inside.

“Oi!” She raised her voice at him. “Ow.” She groaned as her left leg gave way under her. She began to fall sideways and James lost his balance. Another pair of hands held her where James lost his support of her waist as she was straightened up. She turned her head and was met with a pair of cheeky but secretive grey eyes. “Thanks.”

“No problem. But I think you had best rest.” He grinned as he moved to her side but still held her waist steady.

“I agree.” James said and slowly began to slowly lead her back to her bed. “You've done a lot already.”

She sat on the edge of the bed, James helped her place her legs up on the bed and she lay back against her pillows and reached for her food. “I can't wait to get back flying again.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

It took May all of the summer to learn to walk properly. At all times James was at her side and Sirius in the background watching her progress. Her arched feet flattened and she could walk but with the aid of a walking stick.

“You know this stick is useful.” May said with a straight face.

“How's that dear?” Her mother questioned with a smile as she had guessed what her youngest child was about to do. The two of them were sitting in the main sitting room with James and Sirius.

“Keeping James in line.” Hitting him across the shins with the stick.

“Ow! May! That hurt.” Rubbing his lower legs. “Mother!”

“I'm not saying anything.”

“Unfair.” He grumbled.

“I felt like it.” She shrugged as she stood up and began to stroll around the room. “And you were the closest target.”

“That's not fair little sister.” Running behind her and lifting her up.

“NO!” She screamed but James kept hold of her. “Put me down!” She began struggling against him, desperate to escape him.

“Prongs put her down. She's crying.” Sirius shouted and stood up to try and help.

James quickly put her down, she ran to her mother. “May, I'm sorry.”

“James, how could you be so insensitive?” Her mother hissed at him as she comforted her daughter.

“I'm sorry. I forgot.” He sat next to May who was sitting next to her mother. “May please.”

“I'm all right James. I forgive you.” Silent tears fell down her cheeks. “You weren't to know. Just bad memories.”

“From that night?” Her mother asked holding May's hands between her own. “Did you remember anything?”

“Yes.” Tears falling faster.

“What did you remember?” James knelt in front of her and held her face in his hands.

She let out a sob. “Who it was.” They watched her in silence waiting for her answer.

“No Bloodtraitor... Need to get rid of families like yours.”

She let out short gasps as she remembered the drawling voice in her ear. “Malfoy.” She gasped.

“What?!” Growled Sirius, who was standing behind James.

“Lucius Malfoy?” James said quietly, staring at his sister. “Mother...” Standing up and not taking his eyes off his sister's face. “Is father home?”

“Yes. He's in his study.” She replied kissing May's head, which was resting on her shoulder. In a second James ran from the room. “James!” His mother called after him.

~ ~ ~

“Father!” James called as he burst into his father's study

“Yes son?”

“It was Lucius Malfoy.”

“What was?”

“He attacked May.”

Thomas Potter stood up quickly. “She said?”

“Yes.” James growled.

“James, calm down son.”

“Calm down?!” He shouted. “Calm down?! He nearly killed my sister.”

“I know James.” Walking to be in front of his eldest child and placing his hands on James' shoulders. “James. I will find him and charge him but I will have to find him first. May will have to testify against him.”

“She'll be too scared father.” Frowned James.

“I know.” Mr Potter nodded. “Let me talk to her.” Stepping around James.

“Of course.” He followed his father back to the sitting room to where he left his mother, sister and best friend.

~ ~ ~

As they entered the room, they found May and her mother in the same position but with Sirius crouched in front of May, holding one of her hands and cupping one of her cheeks with the other. The pair could see Sirius was speaking softly to May but they couldn't hear him. “May?” Her father said softly. Sirius moved away from her. She took one look at him, left her position and ran into her father's arms, sobbing. Staining his shirt with her tears. “Shh. There there. It will be all right.” He stroked her ebony hair as he whispered soothing words to her. “I will find him but...” She raised her head to look at him directly. “I need you to have the confidence to testify against him when I get my hands on him.”

“But Papa...” A tear rolled down her cheek to her chin and fell onto her clothing. “I'll be scared. I know it.”

“That's why I want you to be brave for me.”

“I'll try.” She answered with a small smile. “Will you find him?”

“I will.” He kissed her forehead. “Now. Go back to beating up your brother.”

She giggled and began chasing James with her walking stick until she got tired and fell onto the nearest sofa.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - – - - - –

“This is embarrassing.” May groaned as they approached one of the many carriages that the scarlet Hogwarts Express pulled.

“What is?” James asked as he turned to wave at their parents, who were already walking away to the barrier, his face crossed with disappointment. “Pads, save me a seat!” Shouting at his friend who had just jumped on the train.

“I still have to use a walking stick James!” Pushing him to get his attention.

“So?” He chuckled.

“Shut up!”

“What did I say?”

“You know this...” Raising her stick and then putting it back on the ground to support herself. “It's embarrassing.”

“You've said.” Putting a hand in the small of her back and guided her on to the train. “May, you'll do great.”

“Shut up James. KATIE!” Shouting towards her Gryffindor friend.

“Merlin! May!” Pushing her way past students to her friend. “How are you?” Pulling her into a hug. “You look incredible. Oh I've missed you.” Pulling away from her. “Come on. We've got a compartment to ourselves.”

“I'll see you later James.” May grinned at her brother as she was dragged away.

~ ~ ~

“So...?”

“What?” May looked up from her book at her friends.

“Can you tell us what happened?” Katie quizzed.

“No.” May said firmly.

“Come on.” Hannah whined.

“No.” She said even more sternly.

“Why not?” Katie frowned.

“Because I don't remember much and the things I do remember are too painful to repeat.” She snapped at them.

“Oh! Don't have to snap!” Louise scoffed.

“Well stop asking about it.” May snapped again and returned to reading her book.

“Don't be such a grump May.” Louise said. “We just wanted to know. You kind of disappeared for ages and then you turn up again. We didn't hear from you all summer.”

“I nearly died! There! You know the real truth! I nearly died!” Snapping her book shut, gripping her walking stick and standing up. “I broke both my legs, my arm and was in a coma for a long time.” She stormed out of the compartment and moved along the carriages, until she found her brother. She slid open the door to his compartment. “Hi. Can I hang out with you lot?” She sighed, looking at the Marauders.

“Oh no! What happened?” James sighed as he helped her into a seat and sat next to her.

“Friends happened. They were bugging me to tell them about the accident.” Shrugging her shoulders. “I told them the truth just to shut them up.” Laughing a little.

“Well look at my baby sister, standing up to her friends.” James smirked.

“You call me 'baby sister' one more time. I dare you.” Raising her walking stick. James mockingly flinched away. “Good.” She leaned back against the seat and then into James' side. Opening her book silently and returned to reading.

“Anyway, before we were so rudely interrupted...” James smirked at his younger sister who just tutted as she continued to read. “Snivellus, is in need of more hair washing.”

“James...” May chuckled. “Try something new. Hair washing is getting old. I don't know, try getting him a date with the Giant Squid or something. I don't know.”

“May.” James started. “That is the best idea I have heard in a long time.” He grinned at her and threw a chocolate frog at her.

“Oi! And thanks for both.” Opening her chocolate frog and began eating it. “I am a sister of a Marauder, of course I am going to have amazing ideas in this pretty head of mine.” Tapping a finger to the side of her head.

“Wouldn't call it pretty.” He said with a grin.

“Oh shut up you.” She laughed.

“You still trying out May? There's a chaser position open and the seeker one too.” Sirius looked at her with a small smile but eyeing up her walking stick.

“Pads. I may not be able to walk right now but give me time and I'll be beating your ass in a race.” Poking her tongue out at him. “Of course I'm trying out. Stupid question.” She laughed and took a bite out of her frog and looked at the frog deep in thought. “Turn him into a frog?” She said to herself.

“Nah.” James smiled. “He already looks like one.” He chuckled as he looked out of the compartment window. “When's the trolley lady coming?”

May looked at the others and rolled her eyes. “Always thinking of your stomach James.”

“Shut up you.” He chuckled as he glanced up at the compartment door and began messing his hair up.

“What are you doing?” May frowned at her brother. Turning her head to look in James' eye direction. “Ohh.” She smirked at the sight of a red head. “Who's that?” Turning back to James, who just shook his head at her. “Oooh. Do tell dear brother.”

“May shut up.” He turned bright red.

“That, my dear May, is Lily Evans. Your brother's admiration.” Sirius grinned wildly, his grey eyes still full of his usual mischief.

“Oh that's Lily!” She chuckled and watched her as girl met her.

“Shut up Padfoot.” James said with quiet anger as he watched the red head talking to another girl. “Oh look. Maggie's talking to her.”

Sirius' head shot up and started smiling widely as he stood up and walked to the door. “Excuse me Gentlemen and Lady.” He smiled as he opened the compartment door. “Hello ladies. Are you willing to join four men and one lovely lady?” His eyes fixed on the dark haired girl standing with Lily.

“I don't think so Black.” Lily rolled her eyes and started to pull Maggie away.

“Oh come on Lily. Don't be like that.” Her eyes surveying Sirius and pulled her friend inside. “Thanks for the invite.” Sitting down and pulled Lily next to her.

May gave them a warm smile. “Welcome to the danger zone.” She chuckled and nudged James. “I'm May. The unfortunate person who has to be called James' sister.”

Lily smiled warmly but Maggie gave her a small smile. “Nice to meet you. I'm Lily and this is Maggie.” She turned to her but found her locking lips with Sirius. “Well the artist formerly known as Maggie and now known as Sirius' girl.”

May laughed. “That was quick.” She looked at Maggie and Sirius and shook her head, blushing a little; embarrassed at what she saw but also fascinated.

“Close your mouth. You'll catch flies.” James whispered in her ear.

“Sorry.” She blushed. “Anyway...” Looking up at Lily. “So you're the Lily Evans. James never shuts up about you at home.”

“I dread to think.” She glared at James.

“Don't worry, they're all good things.” She smiled and flicked her hair being her ear and glanced at Sirius and Maggie. “Think they'll run out of air soon?”

“I doubt it.” Lily laughed. She glanced at May's walking stick. “I heard the rumours. How are you now?”

May gave her a wide smile. “Much better thank you. You are the first one who hasn't asked straight away about what happened. Thanks for that.”

“Don't want to know. It's your life.” She laughed a little. “Potter! Will you stop it?”

“What?!” James and May asked in fright.

“Sorry May. The male Potter next to you.” She nodded at James. “Can you tell him to stop staring?”

May let out a giggle. “James...” She put her hand over his eyes. “Stop scaring the poor girl.”

“No fair May!” Trying to pull her hand away from his eyes.

May jerked her head to the door. “Go!” She whispered.

“What are you whispering about?” James panicked, causing Remus and Peter to laugh. “Why are they laughing? May what are you doing?” Lily slowly and quietly left the compartment with a stifled giggle.

May removed her hand and stood up as fast as she could and rushed out of the compartment. She leaned on her stick and walked into a figure. “Oh I'm sorry.” As the male figure fell to the floor. “I would help you up but I'm having trouble standing up.”

“No, it's ok.” He looked up at her, smiling. “It's fine.”

“I am sorry.” She panicked as she looked at him. She smiled a little. He's cute. She thought to herself. He had sparkling blue eyes and dark brown hair, that was cropped below his ears and was a little untidy but not as untidy as her brother's. “May.” She held out her free hand. “May Potter.”

“Joshua Latimer.” He smiled and shook her hand gently. “Let me make it up to you.” Nodding to the food trolley.

“May.” A stern voice came from behind her. “You coming back?”

She turned to face her brother. “Yeah.” She turned back to Joshua. “Nice to meet you. See you in school.” Locking her eyes with his and smiling.

“Sure.” He smiled at her and nodded to James. “Potter.”

“Latimer.” He said in a plain voice and led May back into the compartment, leaving Lily and Joshua standing alone.

- - - - - - - - - – - - - - - - - - - - - - -

“Hey.” The blacked hair girl smiled at the browned haired boy who was walking towards her.

“Hello.” He smiled and sat next to her. They were sitting in the Transfiguration courtyard. “How's your first day been?”

“Usual. Transfiguration with McGonagall first. Nightmare.” She tucked a loose hair behind her ear. “Giving us a lecture, which I know was aimed at me, to behave this year.”

Joshua laughed. “Figures.” He grinned.

“Excuse me?” She said in confusion.

“She is your Head of House, she would be saying it towards you.” He smiled. “Flitwick doesn't give us a lecture but just tells us.”

May bit her lip a little and pushed another loose strand of her waist length hair behind her ear. “I would have liked to be in Ravenclaw. Too much to live up in Gryffindor.” She rolled her eyes a little and smiled but it changed to a grimace as the bell for the next class rang out around the castle. “I've got Potions.”

“Oh. I would walk you there but I've got divination and it's like the opposite side of the castle.” He stood up and held out his hand for her. She took it with a slight blush growing on her cheek as she stood up.

“It's ok. I'll survive.” She leaned on her walking stick a little. “See you later?” She asked hopefully.

“Definitely.” He nodded at her with a lop sided smile and walked away from her across the courtyard.

Her blush was now a deep red as she hobbled to the potions in the dungeons for a long lesson with Slughorn and the Slytherins. Across the courtyard a black haired boy with glasses watched her. Hate was his emotion at that moment. Right now, he was going to be very protective of his little sister, especially in her vulnerable position.
