─── twenty two

The next day, Willow spent her entire time in the library in a corner section where no one was there. She skipped breakfast with her friends for the first time. But, that doesn't mean Willow's in fasting or something. Thanks to the chocolates given to her by her dad.

"So, I need answers," Willow started off as she crossed her arms. James, Ruby, and Lily sat opposite to her as they had a grin.

"Shoot your questions, love," Ruby said.

"How come I'm the only person who's able to see you both?" She asked.

"Because, eversince you were a kid, you've always had a desire to see your mother. . ." Ruby started off. Willow shook her head.

"No, I never -"

"You never showed it out, but deep inside, you always missed your mother." Ruby chimed in as she silenced Willow. "You had that deepest desire deep in your heart to see your mother,"

"But, isn't she supposed to be. . . Here?" Willow whispered.

"Oh, she left,"

"What?"

"Nowadays even we're unable to see her,"

"How did my dad and mum meet?" Willow asked curiously as Ruby smiled fondly whereas James smirked.

"Oh! That's a good question," Ruby said, rubbing her hands excitedly.

"El! Stop!" Eleven year old Ruby chased Eleanor in the common room. Eleanor giggled as she stopped her tracks and gasped heavily for air. Within no time, Ruby reached her best friend as she slapped her arm playfully.

"Don't do, you dare say anything to Sirius!" Shs warned him as Eleanor stuck her tongue out.

"I will say! 'Sirius, I'm crazily in love with you!' " Eleanor exclaimed as Ruby blushed furiously. She thanked merlin that no one was there in the common room.

"Shut up!" Ruby yelled as her ears went red in embarrassment. Seeing this, Eleanor giggled as she interlocked her hands behind her back and walked backward with a playful smile.

"I'm gonna go and say Sirius that you have a crush on him!" Ruby immediately started running towards her. Eleanor shrieked and turned around, only to bump into someone and fall down with a thud. Ruby's eyes widened as she stood in front of Eleanor and carefully made her stand properly.

Eleanor rubbed her back as she had a frown on her face. She stared at the person who pushed her down unintentionally. 

"Remy! Watch where you're going!" Ruby said angrily as Remus scoffed in response and flickered her forehead, to which Ruby winced.

"I'm older than you, dumbarse, give some respect, " he said and glanced at Eleanor, ignoring his sister's glare.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Eleanor nodded her head with doe eyes, which made Remus smile softly. She looked so cute. He nodded his head and left that place before ruffling his sister's hair.

"Don't do that!" She said, but he left.

"Is that your brother? " Eleanor asked  as Ruby nodded her head.

"Yeah," she said grumpily.

"He looks so cool!" Eleanor whispered as Ruby scoffed. " I guess he's best friends with Sirius. I'm gonna go -"
