Forever (After the war) [Discontinued Version]

Chapter 54 - Alex Leaves

*Anne's POV*

I was sitting in the living room of Harry's house with him and Ginny and Ginny sitting on either side of me as I tried to call Sirius.

I had been trying to contact him and apologize for 3 days now, but he wasn't picking up my calls and when I tried to floo over, turns out he blocked the fireplace, when I apparated to Hogsmeade and knocked at the door, Remus answered and told me that Sirius was still mad and didn't want to talk to me. I even tried texting him...but guess what? He left me on 'read'.

I suppose he'd be blocking my number any day now...if he figures out how to do that.

I really regret blowing up on him like that. He's the closest thing I have to a father now...and I don't want to go through the pain of losing my father again. If only he'd let me apologize.

Why do I keep pushing away everyone I love?

Oh, and did I mention Eddy was mad at me too because I wouldn't tell him why I divorced Neville? Yeah, I hadn't spoken to him in almost 2 months.

Or maybe I'm unlovable and everyone's slowly getting tired of pretending they love me...yeah, that must be it. I can't even blame Neville for cheating on me.

What the hell, Anne? Since when did you start thinking like that?

"He hates me." I sighed as I cupped my face when Sirius ignored yet another call from me. "God, why am I such an idiot?" I groaned.

"He doesn't hate you. He's just upset...I know for a fact that he'd show up at the airport to drop you off." Harry comforted

Just then, Alex stomped into the living room with an angry expression, dragging Hazel along with her by the wrist.

Before I could comprehend what was going on, Alex reached into her pocket and placed her and Hazel's Hogwarts letters before they both sat down on the couch in front of us.

"Explain! Why were these in your drawer!? And why didn't you tell us!?" She shouted at me.

I'm in deep shit.

Wait...I'm the parent here!

"That is definitely all you." Harry whispered to me.

Yeah well, Alex was mostly like me and Hazel was mostly like Neville.

"Alex...Hazel...I know you're both upset that I hid your letters from you but I need you to understand that I had a very good reason behind it." I said calmly.

"Go on, mother. Give us your 'good reason'." Alex scoffed.

"Al, you need to calm down." Hazel said as she held her shoulders which helped Alex to relax a little.

"We're moving to America." I finally told them, not meeting their eye. "I got a new job at Ilvermorny...and I didn't want to give you false hope of going to Hogwarts. I am so sorry."

"When were you going to tell us this? The day we'd leave? I suppose we just like to surprise each other in this family...that is if we can even call it that anymore. I mean, everything was going smoothly until Surprise-Surprise! Two of the heroes of the wizarding world are getting divorced because apparently their marriage isn't working out! And then before we're over that shock, surprise again! We're moving to America because mum can't stand having to look at Dad!" She yelled as all of us got up.

"Alex...it's not that-"

"I'm not finished! Actually, you know what? I'm done with you! Why should your divorce affect me? I don't even want to live with you anymore! You're the worst mom ever! I'm going to Dad!"

"Alexis! Do not speak to your mother that way! She's trying her best to give you the best life she can and she deserves your respect!" Ginny scolded her as I was almost about to break down, hearing my own daughter say those hurtful words to me.

"Yeah right," Alex rolled her eyes as I just stood there, too shocked to utter a word.

"Aunt Ginny's right, Alex! You can't speak to mum that way!" Hazel added.

"Anyways, I'm leaving, are you coming or not?"

"No...You might not see it but I do, mum's only trying to do what's best for us."

"Keep telling yourself that...I'm taking Jane with me. And I will go to Hogwarts, not bloody Ilvermorny!"

"Alex stop it!" Harry scolded her as well.

"You can't be serious." Hazel said to her with hurt.

"I am...Can't you see, Haze? She's not even trying to stop me. She doesn't care about anyone but herself." Alex said as she pointed at me while I was in deep shock, my heart breaking with every single word she said.

"Jane! C'mon, we're leaving!" Alex called, causing Jane to walk out of the room sheepishly.

She knew too.

"Alex...please...don't do this," I begged her as she dragged Jane to the fireplace.

"Well, you didn't listen either when I asked you to not divorce dad but you didn't listen either, did you?" She said sadly as she stepped into the fireplace with a handful of floo powder and Jane.

"I love you, mum." Jane squeaked before Alex dropped the powder saying, "Longbottom Manor!"

And I had lost them too.

I fell to my knees as tears freely flowed from my eyes and I broke down.

I felt Hazel wrap her arms around me as I did. I had never cried in front of the girls but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't be strong for Hazel today.

Alex was right. I'm the worst mother ever.

A/N - Not Alex being a little piece of shit.
