"Maybe we should start going to therapy. All of us emotionally are ruined..."

September 29th, 1976

The wind was blowing outside. The branches were trickling as it passed through them and the leaves were saying their final goodbye to their beloved home. Then they were slowly falling onto the ground or some others, lucky enough they were letting the wind take them along in his journey.

Electra had just finished the Quidditch practice and finally managed to get away from James who was constantly telling her that they should start looking for dates for Valentine's Day. You see according to him he had got over Lily and it was time for him to start looking for other girls. And he would not do it alone. He should find her a boyfriend too. She was walking towards the tree next to the black lake. It was a usual spot for her now. Due to Quidditch she had to have a relaxed study schedule and only James was able to have at the same time with her the same free times. Most of the times this was Quidditch. And when it wasn't she was choosing to stay but herself write to Leia.

"El!" She heard a familiar and friendly voice from her behind and turned to look two boys who were running trying to catch up with her.

"You have actually decided to talk to your sister? I'm impressed! Hello Reg." The girl smiled at the two friends and along with the two boys they walked untill they reached the tree where they sat down.

"Have you contacted Leia?" Orpheus asked concerningly his sister.

"I was about to. We can send her one owl today. Have you talked with mum and dad?" Electra asked afraid of the answer she could get. She had spent the entire summer with Pers and Leia and she hadn't set foot to their house ever since then. They may not wanted to have her back.

"No. You know them they don't send letters. But if you want to return your room is untouched." She nodded and looked at Regulus who was thinking of something. He was staring at the lake lost in his thoughts.

"You must miss him a lot." Regulus suddenly said breaking the silence that had spread between them. He turned to face Electra. Her hair were in a ponytail which was falling on her right shoulder and her cheeks were red from the practice. But when they mentioned Leia and their brother tears had appeared on her eyes. "It hurts not being able to talk to someone who shared the same experiences and childhood with you ever again."

Electra raised her glance from the parchment on which she was writing with a quill. "Your brother is still alive and you can talk to him you know..." She said but the words came out of her as criticism.

The two boys exchanged a look and Regulus laughed. "I can't. He doesn't want to talk to me. And even if he wanted I know that this would end up in a fight. And I can't have another fight with him."

"He loves you Reg... It's a shame you can't see it." The girl said and brought her glance back to the parchment.

"He has changed Electra, can't you see it? He wasn't contacting you all summer, now he's away from you trying his chance with every girl in this school. Can't you see that he's becoming indifferent of everyone?" Orpheus words hit the girl straight to her heart. "And you still care for him. After all these years." He wasn't wrong. Hae had indeed starting spending less time with her but it wasn't entirely his fault. Even when he could she preferred staying on her own trying to come in touch with her brother.

"And Electra there are things that even you wouldn't forgive your brother for doing." Regulus then said. Electra thought that he was referring to Sirius bit little did she know.

"I'm not in the mood right now for discussing about him..." She stood up and looked at the two boys "Maybe we should start going to therapy. All of us emotionally are ruined..." She added then with a smirk and turned her back to them walking away.
