Harry had just received his expulsion letter, Dudley was being taken to the hospital by his parents, leaving him alone with his thoughts. He was so angry and confused with everything that had just happened, dementors so far away from Azkaban, everything about the event was off, or it was just very well planned.

He made his way upstairs huffing, as he slammed the door he noticed he had a visitor  standing in the middle of his bedroom. It was a house elf, but it wasn't Dobby, he had never seen this one before. Despite wearing rags this elf had a classy way of standing, with his hands behind his back and nice posture. Harry froze in front of the door.

"The name is Alfie, Mister Potter, I'm here on behalf of Mistress Rowle, she sent me to take you to her if you accept the invitation"

Harry shook his head, trying to recall who was Rowle.

"Madison Rowle, that is" Alfie reiterated seeing Potter's confused expression.

"Oh" he said, "this is odd"

"Yes, she just wants to talk to you, matters that aren't safe to put on paper"

"Safe?" probably had to do with everything that was already happening, "Well, I can't get expelled twice... nothing to lose anymore..." he said angrily, mainly to himself, "so yeah...How do we go about it?"

Alfie extended his hand and as Harry touched it they vanished into thin air.

They apparated in some sort of forest, surrounded by high trees, mossy green grounds. Harry felt sick, he hadn't apparated before, his stomach was turning. He propped himself on his knees to withhold from throwing up. Alfie was already making his way through the woods. The young wizard felt like asking questions but he felt too nauseous so instead he followed the elf's lead.

Harry saw a body on the ground from afar, as they made their way closer he realized it was Madison. She laid with her eyes and mouth closed, wearing a black summer dress that wasn't long nor short and galoshes, her hands laid on each side, one of them was clenched. There was a basket and a leather covered journal that was opened on a blank page with a thin piece of wood as a page marker.

Harry's mouth dropped when Alfie poked her and she didn't respond, he didn't look alarmed though.

"Is she dead?" Potter popped the question without even thinking it through, kneeling on the ground beside her, grabbing her cold hand, then carefully touching her cold cheek with the back of his hand.

"No, but I'm afraid she will be out for a while, I should take her home. I'll take you back you your aunt's-"

"No!" he interrupted, he would rather be anywhere else than back to his aunt's, "I'm not leaving her like this, no way, I'm coming with you" he replied in a firm tone. Cedric's lifeless body was still a fresh memory.

"That isn't a wise decision, Master Rowle could come home at any second..."

"I don't care" Harry replied, his eyes still on the body that laid in front of him,

Alfie nodded in agreement, "So be it" he said while picking up the objects and putting it in the basket.

They apparated directly in a large room, it was gloomy. As Harry's eyes adapted to the light he saw Alfie settling Madison on the bed, fluffing the pillow to rest her head. He approached the elf to help, picking some dead leaves off her thick brown hair, his gaze upon her still closed eyes, her lashes, her pale lips.

Harry started to search his mind for all the moments he had encountered her at school, they were in the same year at Hogwarts, she was in some of his classes but Madison wasn't much of a talker, or a troublemaker. He did recall one time he went to the library to get Hermione and Madison was there, whispering with Draco Malfoy no less. She was one of the only pure bloods that didn't get sorted into Slytherin, that fact and her beauty made her known among the students.
