ELOISE MICHAELS

7 days it's been since Lucille left.

It was becoming almost unbearable to stay inside this manor. The energy it carries is just sad, everything a reminder of what I've lost- what we've all lost. 

As lucky as I am to have Lorenzo, I feel more alone than ever right now.

Onyx and Lucille gave me something different than the boys ever could. A sense of belonging, like sisters. My parents struggled with fertility for years after I was born till they could longer bare the pain of disappointment. So, they decided to carry on with their lives, fulfilled with the love they had for me.

Yet, growing alone could be hard. I desperately wanted a sister, even a brother if it meant another child around. Draco and I had been friends since basically birth yet his personality was anything but feminine. He never let me do his makeup or dress him up, no matter how many times we hit each other. 

So the day I met Onyx and Lucille, I knew I would finally have that. We would spend hours talking until 2am before Lucille would complain she needed enough rest for class. We shared clothes, practised hair and makeup on one another, gossiped about boys, cried about boys.

I felt as if I had finally had sisters. We would bicker, laugh and always be each other's greatest supporters.

Now it's just me.

I'm considering going back to my manor. I miss my parents but it also feels wrong leaving. Blaise has really started to improve lately with our talks so how could I leave him?

And Lorenzo.

I love waking up next to him every day. It's one of the few things I actually look forward to.

Lorenzo is sitting in the kitchen with Narcissa, conversating about tea and other topics I don't understand. They get along over some strange stuff.

I need to get out for the day. Maybe I could go see Lucille?

"Narcissa," I said, grabbing her attention. "Do you think it would be okay if I went and saw Lucille today?"

"You don't have to ask me for permission dear. Go ahead," She laughed.

I walk up to Enzo, placing a kiss on his cheek. "I'll see you later love".

"Tell her I said hi," He smiled.

I walk out of the house and grab out my wand. I try to imagine the Burrow as vividly as I can and I apparate through the air. I hate the feeling of my insides churning but I land safely on my feet out front of the tall house.

This felt like a home. The sun was shining and their was a warm breeze drifting through the air. You could think clearly here.

I hesitantly walk to the front door, softly knocking.

I hear footsteps approaching and Hermione answers the door. "Oh hi Eloise," She smiled.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked.

"I'm good. Do you want me to go get Lucille?"

"Yes please. I can wait here or-"

"Nonsense. Come inside, you know everyone already".
