A couple weeks had past and it was a day before school started.
James Sirius Remus and Peter all were in Natasha's bathroom "ready ?" Remus said putting on gloves
"If you guys fuck up my hair I'll be shaving all of yours off" she looked around
Peter put his hand on his heart "how rude Miss McKinnon" he said putting gloves on "are we sure this is brown dye ?"
"If you lads make my girlfriends hair go green I'm going to be very ticked off" James said lighting a cigarette
Sirius started mixing whatever was in the box "I am a professional prongs chill. Look at my luscious locks and tell me you don't trust me with her hair" he started looking at Natasha's hair "how damaged is it ?"
"I've only dyed it once" Natasha said back to him "so hopefully not bad".
The process started and Peter was finding it very difficult not to get it on his hands. Everyone was giggling as Natasha rinsed her hair out.
The boys waited in the bedroom as Natasha done the rest. She walked out as James cat called her "well done" She nodded at Sirius
"I'm an artist what can I say" he said proudly
Jo walked into her room "oi Nat" she paused "oh my god I love it!" She squealed "who done it"
She pointed at the boys who all raised their hands "amazing" Jo said "you didn't even miss a spot" she tried to remember what she was going to ask "oh right where's Rory ?"
Sirius answered "out with Reg" he rolled his eyes "the happy couple are enjoying their time until school starts."

The next morning Natasha woke up to someone jumping up on her bed. She opened her eyes barely and started screaming when she saw.
Sirius. In his dog form.
James jumped up from her bed thinking there was a murderer in the room.
Natasha groaned "Sirius!" The dog looked amuse
The dog finally transformed into a male "you should have seen your faces" Sirius giggled "wahhhh" he mimicked Natasha.
James had got back into bed next to Nat, Natasha kicked Sirius as he fell off of the bed. The two started laughing at him.
Sirius groaned turning over "no but seriously we need to get to the platform in line 20 minutes".

Everything had been a blur for Rory. She was almost mute. She hated talking, talking about anything. She hated seeing pianos and hearing people laugh.
How could you laugh at a time like this ? Everything she thought had a negative view. Everything. She kept her head down at the platform.
She couldn't stand seeing the other people at Hogwarts, everyone was looking at her and whispering about her.
The news of Beth's passing had now reached everywhere. Her father was famous so of corse it would.
She saw one of the newsletters on the floor.
The daily prophet
Famous Auror Jack McKinnon recently lost his daughter over these summer days. His family have suffered a terrible loss.
No one knew about his daughter being sick but residents did say they hadn't seen her leave the house in months.
We had Reta Skeeta talk on this matter more. She says "well the McKinnon sisters are all very close and none of them batted an eye lid. I myself have always been close to this family and I am also at a terrible loss. I have spent my time thinking of Rory McKinnon the youngest. She has a lot of pressure on her at home".
Rory had never hated someone as much as the woman. She was cruel and wanted pity. She already promised herself that if she ever saw her, she would give her a nice punch to the nose.
"Rory"
"Rory" Regulus called waving his hand in her face "you haven't spoke this whole train journey" he pointed out
She looked out the window to see she was already near Hogwarts, she was busy overthinking to realise.
"Oh yeah" she nodded "sorry"
***
Everyone arrived at Hogwarts and went to the feast that happened after every summer.
Dumbledore raised his hands walking to the front "welcome back or too Hogwarts" everyone fixated their eyes on him "we are delighted to have you all here for this amazing feast" his tone was now a lot different "now I just wanted to start this feast to give mine and the teachers respects to an old student at this school. Beth McKinnon"
Everyone started whispering. All looking at Rory Nat and Marlene. Rory frowned.
"Beth was more then just a student. She was an amazing mind and soul who will be very missed" he said nodding "now, I'm sure we're all feeling different emotions at this moment" he paused "especially with a certain name in the papers every day" Voldemort "now I say this now to each and everyone of you. Youth is the greatest power of all and their greatest power... is you" Dumbledore always had affective words "just something to think about".
Walking out of the hall was awkward. Everyone was staring at her, she wanted to run away but that would cause more attention to her.
She felt someone grab her shoulder, she turned to see Professor Montgomery "hey kid" he put his hands in his pockets "didn't think I'd see you this year"
She put on a smile "wouldn't miss hogwarts"
"How are you ?" He was so sweet. You could see it in his eyes that he felt bad "I've been non stop thinking about you and your family"
She nodded "trying to get over it" she said as they started walking together
"Well from what I've learnt from all of the people I've lost over the years is, you never truly get over someone but learn to be okay with it" he said so naturally "you learn that life is beautiful wether you like it or not. It's a privilege to be able to say you met the people you did"
