May 23, 1976

Now some may say I overreacted a few days ago, I admit I may have, I'm not going to give any elaborate excuses for it. I just suspected that he forgot it.

I'm apologizing for my mistake due to the fact that I am being berated because of it.

"You didn't trust him?" He yells into the phone at the news as I try to catch him up on what happened the past few days.

"Leave me alone Sparkle." I hiss as I move the phone away from my ear.

"You know I love you El, but if you call me Sparkle again, I'll come to Hogwarts and destroy your quidditch stuff."

"You can't do that."

"Who says?"

"Me."

"Then you can watch me do it right in front of you."

"I won't speak to you again." I threaten back.

"You have enough money to buy the stuff a million times over."

"That doesn't matter."

"Yes it does, and speaking of money, can't you spare me a quid."

"As soon as you stop threatening me, maybe."

"Well, I'll quiet down." He finally relents.

"Would you look at that?" I gasp. "I seem to have run out of money."

"The betrayal." He gasps back. "How could you!"

We both laugh at our antics.

"This is foolish." He says, still laughing. "Don't change the topic."

"You say that as if I was the one who did that Sparkle." I tell him, rolling my eyes.

"Back to the topic of you."

"There's not much to it. I felt something was off and to be completely honest, I still feel something is off." I confess.

There was this little voice in my head telling me something wasn't right, not just Tom, but there's also a pit in my stomach.

"I still believe you El, I'll always trust you over everyone else." He says with a sigh. "But it doesn't mean he's entirely bad, even if your gut feelings always turn out to be right."

"So you don't blame me?" I ask.

"Who does?"

"I think I do."

"You shouldn't, it's natural. It's not like you're thinking of something awful like murder, you just became worried."

"I know." I sigh.

"How's baby Andromeda by the way?"

"Andy told me she's fine. I spoke to her yesterday."

"How come you didn't see her when you visited before Christmas?"

"She was with Ted's parents, they were all supposed to go together, but the snow storm stopped them." I tell him, leaning on the table next to the chair.

"I really can't believe she's their child sometimes." Sparkle chuckles.

"She has Andromeda's resilience and Ted's kindness. That's how you know she's their child."

"I really want to talk to them more." He sighs.

"I can bring you with me next time."

"Thanks El." He laughs.

"Hey El." Remus said as he walked into my room.

"Hey Lune." I greet back.

"Is that Remus?" Sparkle asks.
