I hear a knock from the door downstairs, and freeze up, hoping not to see anyone from school (that's less than likely), and relax a bit, when I see it's only Lupin.
'Angelique..'
I pause, not liking that he called me my full name
I mean, he AND my dad used to do that..
'Hi, sir..' I reply, looking at the floor as he sits on a chair a little further away from mine, while picking at my nails.
'How is- How WAS school?'
I nod in reply 'it was okay.. not the best end, though' I fiddle with my necklace
I look up at him 'd'you, know.. about me and Fred?'
He shakes his head slowly
'We- I broke up with him'
He raises both eyebrows, looking around the room, as if to say 'really?'
I sigh, before shrugging 'I dunno...'
'Angelique- you'll be fine.' He sighs, 'You just need to rest, and stop worrying, okay? We've got the Voldemort situation under control, and, your NEWTs are gonna go through as predicted grades, so you'll be getting good without trying, eh?'
I look at him
Under control??
'So, it took for my dad to die, to be murdered, for the ugliest wizard in the world to be worked out?? You're telling me, that you had all this time to figure it out, but it didn't come to that ex auror's stupid head, how Voldemort could be defeated??'
'And, what about that #1 fan of his, the dark lord, that is, WHERE IS SHE? Because I have a few words I could say to her, and I KNOW they would change her view on her little niece, wouldn't they?'
'Ang-' he tries to cut me off, but I keep going
'Maybe then, she'd remember where the hell her loyalty should really lie'
..
'you know, you're worse than you father.. dealing with these situations.. and I thought he was stubborn'

After a while, I hear a knock from downstairs, and freeze up immediately, breathing heavily, I swear, if any of those death eaters went after Mr or Mrs Weasley, I would NEVER forgive myself.
And if they got Lupin..
Oh, it's like Voldemort just HAD to get each and every one, of my father's friend group, it would be surprising, and horrendously evil, if he left one.
So, I guess I'll be going too?
