Chapter 11: Burn


Remus stared at the ghost looking Skylar when he rubbed his eyes and look to see she's still there, him not believing his eyes. "S-Sky?" He stammered and Skylar smiled weakly.

"Hey," She said. "I forgive you."

Remus stared at her for a while until Skylar smiled brightly and puts down her box of things and wrapped her arms around him burying her face in the crook of his neck, her smelling in his scent. Remus blinked, shocked she's here. He suspected a letter or she'd say the same thing to them about it. Remus wrapped his arms around her and hugged back, missing the touch of his best friend. "After everything we did....this worked?" Remus said, still shocked.

"Of course. Fabian and Gideon said to reach into your heart and you did. You picked the one most important thing in my life and that's Caramel, my protector and first best friend, he may be a stuffed animal but he's still my best friend. He knows my secrets, helped me through my nightmares, he's perfect. You knew how important he was to me and used him. That's all I needed to see. You actually knew the real me. The innocent, eleven-year-old me." Skylar said and Remus sighed silently. After everything they did this worked. He couldn't believe this worked. He gotten his best friend back. "C'mon, the other's will be excited to see you." Remus said, pulling away from the hug and holding her to arm length, her arms cold as ice. Skylar nodded, a nervous look on her face, and Remus lead her to the living room seeing the sleeping friends of his.

"Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail, wake up!" Remus snapped loudly, Mrs. and Mr. Potter wouldn't hear him because the house is pretty big and they wouldn't be able to hear him from upstairs.

Sirius shot awake, falling off the couch onto his back, he groaned lightly and saw the ghost looking girl of Skylar. "SKY!!!" He shouted, waking up James.

James shot up, his hair looking like a birds nest, and saw Skylar and his eyes widen while Peter was still asleep. "Sky!" He said.


Sirius sat up from the ground quickly and hugged his best friend as she hugged him back, smelling in his sent of mints. "I missed you so much, my dork." Skylar murmured into his shoulder.

"I'm the dork?" Sirius teased. "You're the weirdo here."

Skylar chuckled at that.

James walked over to give her a hug but she backed up, closer to Remus and Sirius. "Don't touch me." She said firmly. James looked at her confused. "You said you can't tell if I would use a unforgivable spell and if I'd be bad. That's a fucked up thing to say, James. I am not your friend I'm just a acquaintance. You have to build up our friendship again."

"But you forgave Padfoot and Moony!" James tried to argue.

"Moony I forgive because he understands my situation. I'm a monster, a danger, afraid of not being accepted. We're the same. We're both cursed with something. I forgive Sirius because he was just concerned and worried for a friend I understand that, I would be the same. You. You said it was hard to tell if I'm a good person anymore, I'd curse a innocent, you said hurtful things that I cannot forgive until I'm ready. I'll be with you I just do not forgive you." Skylar explained and James sighed and hung his head and nodded, silently regretting saying those things.

Sirius, hating seeing his friend like this, tried to change the subject. "Why'd it take you this long?" He asked.

"I was late for the bus. I had no Galleons on me so I couldn't use The Night Bus so I used the muggle's buses, with Lily's family's help, I waited hours and they kept on stopping for people every couple of feet. I got fed up and walked the rest of the way, ran into some trouble with some Death Eaters, but escaped using my powers."

Remus, Sirius, and James stared at her shocked. "You came all that way to forgive us? Not sending a letter or forgiving us when school started back up." Remus said and Skylar nodded, a small smile upon her lips.

"Of course. I missed you guys. What's a better way to forgive someone in person?"

Sirius agreed with her.

Skylar's eyes dropped as her face paled more and she yawned. "Sky?" Remus said as Skylar staggered a little. Sirius looked at her side seeing a bag cover it, he moved it seeing Skylar was hit with a spell that was making her bleed. It was untended. "Sky!" Sirius gasped. "You're hurt with some sort of spell!"

"No spell." Skylar said weakly as she almost collapse, James catching her. "M-my powers...it's near by...f-fire...t-taking control." Skylar stuttered. Remus thought quickly when a voice piped up. "She needs rest." They looked to see Jackson Parkinson holding the box of Skylar's things and Peter seemed to have woken up, standing next to Sirius now.

"What?" Peter said.

"She needs rest." Jackson repeated himself. "The element of fire is strong it's draining her powers."

"Why should we trust you?" Remus said, glaring at the Slytherin.

"Because if you don't she's going to die." Jackson said simply, shrugging. James decided, one in his life, to listen to the Slytherin.


......( <3 ).....


James has laid Skylar on a bed in a spare room Sirius, Remus, and Peter always sleep in (sometimes Skylar when she's in the mood) and Jackson reached into the box grabbing the teddy bear giving it to Skylar and her eyes dropped closing. "What's wrong with her?" Remus asked worriedly.

"Her powers are eating her up." Jackson said.

"How?"

"Each power is stronger or weaker then the next. Fire the stronger, Water right behind it, wind a little weaker, earth a lot more stronger but just right in the middle of Fire and Water. Fire is the meaning of destruction and that means her body is eating itself up, burning. If she doesn't treat herself well, eating warm foods, getting herself warm, anything that'll keep her body warm. She'll burn up and die, that's how my grandmother died. She couldn't take care of it and she burned up." Jackson explained and Sirius nodded and looked down to his friend, seeing the blood seeping through her t-shirt.

"How do we fix this?" James asked Jackson.

"We don't." Jackson said. "She does. We can help a little but most of this is her job. We keep her warm and close up her wounds so she isn't infected"

Remus looked down to his friend worriedly and held her hand, which was cold as ice, and worry and concern washed over him. Being outside that long in the cold with only a t-shirt and jeans...she could've died...now what are they supposed to do? He just hoped and prayed Skylar would be okay. He wouldn't know what to do with is life if she just...burned away.


{A/N}

Oh my Merlin it's been a while since I updated. You must all hare me now because she doesn't forgive James but I wouldn't either if my friend said that to me.

Also, I'd like to clarify, I do not own Jackson Parkinson or his family. This is Pansy Parkinson's father and I searched up her family tree and saw it just said Mr. Parkinson so I made up the name and the family history. The power of the elements are also my idea they're not in the Harry Potter series whatsoever.

I do hope you liked this Chapter! And I've decided who Skylar will end up with ^u^ not tellin' though.

Anywho.

Love ya, Minions!

Byee!
