He fell for his best mates sister, he fell hard, but he was a player, a womaniser, the one the girls wanted and the boys wanted to be, until he met her. Granted he knew her because she was James' twin sister, but he never really acknowledged her, bu...

It was just days before Eloise, Sirius, James, Lily, Alice and Frank were due to go into hiding, and Eloise was yet to contact Ophelia, seeing as she hasn't spoken to her since before the death of Regulus. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak to her friend, it was more that she was scared..scared of being reminded that he was well...gone. The group of friends were sat in Sirius and Eloise's almost empty living room for the last time together all without Peter who was apparently visiting his mother who had fallen severely ill with spattergroit.
All was well in the Black household as they cradled their babies, Alice and Frank tending to a one month old neville and Lily and James little Harry. The atmosphere was calm and everyone was happy, everyone but Eloise, and Lily was the first to notice. "What's wrong love?" asked the red head gently
"Nothing" she shrugged off avoiding speaking about what was troubling her mind, but after a stern glare urging her to speak up Eloise sighed and gave in. "It's just...one of my babies..they're going to die"
"No" said Lily "They won't, we will protect them, I'm sure there's another way right..?"
"The chances are slim...too slim" said the woman glancing down at Fleamont in her arms who had his tiny hand wrapped around her finger.
"That's not all is it...?" asked Lily warily
"I've got a bad feeling is all...I'm sure I'm just nervous nothing to worry about.." smiled Eloise "You'll be okay my darling boy" whispered Eloise gently to her son "You and your sister, I'll protect you with my life. I promise you.."
"Oi El!" interrupted James "Remember when we were little...and we'd go into mum and dads room and use dads shirts as sacks to ride down the stairs in"
"Merlin your kids are going to be hell to deal with" remarked Remus making the group let out a laugh.
"Maybe not Harry.." said Alice "She could be more like Lily"
"Please" scoffed Eloise "The beauty genes in this one are strong..he's a potter. Looks just like his dad"
"But he has his mothers eyes" said Sirius gently and fondly
"You two on the other hand.." said Mia pointing towards Eloise and Sirius who cradled their babies in their arms "They're going to be little devils together...I know it"
"And...they look like Sirius.." said Lily
"No" scoffed James "Fleamont maybe...but Euphemia...no" as James said that the small two month old baby looked at her uncle Remus who was cooing at her and her eyes flashed in admiration at the sight of the scars on his face. The baby girl squeezed her eyes shut and soon appeared scars on her face that mimicked his exactly.
"Bloody hell" said Remus in awe "El..Sirius..shes a metamorphagus"
"What?" frowned Eloise "No she isn't..she's a baby"
"She is." insisted Remus "Look!" and sure enough when the couple looked at their baby girl she was changing her hair colour to look like all the colours of the rainbow.
"Wicked" grinned Sirius "My babies a transformer"
"Metamorphagus" corrected the Lupin boy
"That's hard to say" scoffed Sirius "She's magic"
"Well..her parents are a wizard..and a witch.." said Mia as if it were obvious that the child would be magical
"Could have been a squib" defended the Black
"Whatever Trevor" scoffed Alice earning a gargle from Neville "You like that name eh Nev? Trevor?" the baby simply gargled once more in response as everyone looked fondly at the children.
But a frown settled itself on Eloise's face once more "Something doesn't feel right.." she announced. "Somethings wrong.."
"What do you mean?" frowned her husband in concern.
As if she had summoned it herself a bright Phoenix soared into the room the voice of Albus Dumbledore coming out of it. "It is with my deepest regret I inform you that in the early hours of the morning Marlene McKinnon and the rest of her family were found dead with the dark mark above the dark mark above the house-"
Eloise couldn't hear anything after that thousands of thoughts racing through her mind. Granted she hated marlene for what she did to her but once upon a time the two of them were inseparable, sisters almost. Marlene McKinnon..dead? impossible. Absolutely not...the witty, fiery, hot headed and spiteful girl who Eloise once considered a friend was dead? It was a concept that her mind couldn't quite grasp onto. So many words unsaid...apologies...questions...regrets. If you had asked Eloise Potter-Black a week ago if she had any regrets she would have told you to fuck off because..live fast..die young with no regrets at all. But...that little phrase 'live fast die young' that she would've told you in a joking manner was echoing in her mind as she replayed a memory in her head from their fourth year at Hogwarts:
"Aren't you worried about getting hurt..." Lily asked Marlene in worry like a mother would but the girl simply scoffed.
"Live fast, die young Lily darling" was all the girl responded with making her friends laugh heartily.
But that phrase was never taken seriously. None of them intended to die young, in fa t they all intended to grow old and live out their lives together in harmony. But clearly that was a dream that was out of reach for them. Because Marlene McKinnon was dead. Last week Eloise would have told you exactly what Marlene said 'Live fast, die young, no regrets' but now...Eloise did have regrets.
And her biggest one was..she never reconciled with her best friend. And now it was far too late, because she was gone.
