Come Back, I'm All Alone (On Hiatus)

Third Year

Calypso's POV

     They were doing construction on our street -which is weird cuz they never do that-, and it was so loud. After about a week, I asked Mommy if we could stay at the Leaky Cauldron, instead. School started tomorrow but neither of could take the sound another minute.
     We took the Knight Bus cuz the motorcycle was out of gas. "Welcome to the Knight Bus. Emergency transport for the stranded witch of wizard. My name is Stan Shunpike and I will be your conductor for this evenin'" the young man said. We got in while he struggled to lift out luggage.
About ten minutes in, we stopped to let someone else in. Said person entered and I saw it was Harry. "Hi, Harry!"
"Hi, Calypso, Hey, Ms. M. Nice to see you."
Harry sat down and Stan asked his name. For good reasons, Harry didn't answer. "Where abouts you 'eaded?"
"The Leaky Cauldron; that's in London." Ernie, Stan, the shrunken head, and I laughed at that.
"But the muggles. Can't they see us?"
"Muggles? They don't see nothin', do they."
"No, but if you jab them with a fork, they feel" joked the shrunken head. "Ernie! Little old lady at twelve o'clock!"
Ernie stopped just in time and Harry flew forward, banging against the window. I laughed.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, three and a half, two, one and three quarters... yes!" We zoomed forward.
Stan opened a newspaper. "Give me that!" I lurched forward and grabbed the paper out of his hands. "Mommy! Look at this!!"
"What is it baby?" When she saw what was in my hands, she dropped her coffee.
"Yes!!" Mommy wrapped me in a big hug. We went to sit down, on the next floor up, so we could talk more privately. "He's probably gonna meet us at Hogwarts."
"I concur. I think we should meet him in the shrieking shack. If not, the forbidden forest" I added.
"Well, all we can do now is wait." I nodded.
We went back downstairs. "Ernie, two double deckers at twelve o'clock. They're getting closer, Ern. Ernie, they're right on top of us!" Ernie slowed down and pulled a lever. "Mind your heads" and we became one dimensional. "Hey, guys! Guys! Why the long faces?" The shrunken hat laughed hysterically and we went back to normal.
"Yeah, yeah. Nearly there. Nearly there. Nearly there." We pulled to a stop, setting of a car alarm.
"The Leaky Cauldron" Stan said, holding out a hand.
"Next stop, Knockturn Ally" said the shrunken head.
"Rooms 10 and 11" Tom said. We went to 10 while Harry went to eleven.
Then next day, we were off to Hogwarts. I went to the Marauders compartment and jumped on my uncle. "Moony!!"
"Padlette! Watch it!"
"Why are you here? Why? Why are you here? Why? Why? Are you gonna teach? Are you here to hang out with Mommy and me? Why? Why are you here?"
"Relax. I'm gonna teach DADA."
"Yay! That's what you've always wanted to do!"
"I know!" Uncle Remus exclaimed.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione came in. "James? H-How?"
"Uncle Remus, this is Harry. Harry Potter."
"Harry! I haven't seen you since you were a baby."
"Wait... Uncle Remus? Like from Ms. M's stories?"
"Yes, Harry. How many Uncle Remus' can I possibly have?"
"Touché."
"You look just like your father. Except for your eyes. You have your mother's eyes."
     "I'm bored!"
     "Callie, you just got on."
     "On muggle trains you can use electronic devices. Stupid magic preventing me from doing so right now."
     "We all know you wouldn't survive without magic."
     All the sudden, the train stopped. The lights went out. "Ouch, Ron, that's my foot!" Hermione exclaimed.
Ron ignored her. He had his hands on the window as it began to freeze over, along with whatever Remus was drinking. I clung to Uncle Moony's cloak. "There's something moving out there" Ron said, nervously.
"No shit, Sherlock!" I fussed at him.
A black shadowy figure slowly opened our compartment door. A dementor. Harry went rigid and I realized the dementor was trying to suck his soul. I shook Uncle Moony hard. "Remus. Remus, Remus, WAKE UP!!"
My uncle's eyes flew open and he conjured a non-corpeal Patronus, clearly not wanting my friends to suspect he's a werewolf by casting a full one. It was enough to drive the dementor but Harry fell unconscious.
When he opened his eyes, I was right in his face. "Hiya!"
"CALYPSO! Holy shit, kid, give him some space" Remus said, not so politely. He gave Harry some chocolate and I laughed at his obsession.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to have a little word with the driver. Cals, I think your mum will want to see you." He turned to Harry, "eat, you'll feel better."
I exited the compartment with my uncle. "You're not actually going to have a word with the driver, are you?"
"You know me too well, Baby Pads. Ah, here we are, the teachers' compartment. Now, if you'll excuse me... I'm going to go cry alone in the bathroom." I wanted to say something, but he'd already left. I sighed in defeat and opened the door.
"Hi, Mama."
"Baby! Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, Mama. Harry was the only one affected. And Remus, of course, but in his own way. He literally admitted he was gonna go hide and cry. At least, this year, you can go with him on the full moons." Shortly before Mommy got pregnant with me, daddy helped her become an animagus. In her form, she was a fox. When I was nine, Mama agreed to help me become one, too. I took the form of a tiger. We'd expected me to become a German Shepard, like Daddy but I'm a tiger cub. 'Course, I'm not 'llowed to go with them on full moons yet. Mommy said I could when I come of age. I agreed that seemed fair. Mostly cuz I'm perfectly fine with doing whatever she or Daddy tell me to do, which is not the case when it comes anyone else.
I'm aware I'm a little clingy but I'm working on it. I was able to have a sleepover with Hermione this summer, which is a big stretch for me, even though we live fifteen minutes away from the Grangers. Full moons always scare me cuz I don't know if Mommy or Remus will be okay. Needless to say, I had become rather adept at healing.
     Mommy held me close. I fell asleep with my head on her shoulder. I didn't have a dream, it was a flashback. The they took my daddy away.
