I get out of bed; it has been days since the incident with Potter. The wound in my stomach still hurts, but it's nothing compared to the confusion I feel inside. I take refuge in my room, trying to avoid my aunt's worried looks and my sister's questions. I need time to think, to understand.  Why do I keep thinking of her? Every time I close my eyes I see her face, her intelligent, determined eyes, her messy curls. There is a strength in her, a passion that I cannot ignore.
Yet she is a born Muggle, an enemy of mine; I was brought up to believe that her kind should not even have the right to exist.
That night in the air battle, part of me hoped I wouldn't meet her, that I wouldn't have to face the possibility of hurting her.
Me: What on earth am I doing...?
Just then I hear a soft knock at the door. It was Aurora. She enters with a worried look on her face, holding a cup of tea.

Aurora: Hello big brother...
Me: Sis, is that for me?
Aurora: You're the one who fell off the broom with a cut on your stomach... how are you?
Me: I'm fine, Severus did a great job, the wound's almost healed...

She stares into my eyes, she knows there's more to it than that. She puts her cup down on the coffee table and sits down on the bed, followed by Zephyr.

Aurora: What is it... really...
Me: Rory...
Aurora: I know it's hard, but she's one of them, and you can't ruin everything just because you had a crush on her!
Me: And you really think I don't think about the consequences every day! You really think I'm that selfish!
Aurora: I don't want you to get hurt Mattheo!
Me: Too late, don't you think?

She doesn't answer, she just takes Zephyrus in her arms and walks towards the door
Aurora: Our father's back anyway, he didn't get much information out of Gregorovitch, about the Elder Wand, and he's quite angry.
Me: So I'd better not show up, after my failure...
Aurora: It wasn't your fault that Potter managed to escape from Big Brother... ....
Me: But he's disappointed, I can feel it, he never came to see me...
Aurora: Because you really expected the Dark Lord to care about someone other than himself?
Me: He cares for you...
Aurora: I gave him back his life, Mattheo...

Aurora: I gave him back his life, Mattheo
