Elwia's eyes couldn't believe what she had just read. That had to be a trap, right? Why would Mattheo want to kill his own father? Elwia fully thought Mattheo agreed with Voldemort's views. The girl's mind was still set on going to the Leaky Cauldron on the 31st, and not only because of Mattheo, she also really badly wanted to see Astoria and Pansy, and Draco, Theo, Blaise, and Adrian.
Elwia's sleep was restless; she kept twitching and waking up all of a sudden. She was having nightmares about what she had seen in the pensieve. Nightmares about Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort, and not being able to save anyone. She didn't understand how Pettigrew could betray Lily, James, Marlene, and Dorcas. He was their friend.
"Restless night?" Uncle Moony asked as Elwia entered the dining room.
"Yeah. I had nightmares of Pettigrew and Voldemort." Elwia mumbled and scratched her head.
"I'm not surprised. Dumbledore also showed me and Sirius the memories, and some of them made me sick to my stomach. Seeing Peter act so normal towards all of us, knowing that he was going to betray all of us." Remus shook his head, deep in thought.
"I don't understand it all." Elwia sighed and poured herself a cup of coffee. Harry entered the kitchen with Hermione, Irie, and Ron.
"Good morning." Hermione smiled at Elwia.
"It is now that you're here." Elwia smirked playfully.
"Hey! That's my friend." Harry nudged his sister.
"What is yours is also mine, brother, almost like communism." Elwia joked.
"You seriously told Ron, Irie, and Hermione even though it was supposed to be a secret?" Uncle Moony sighed while sipping his coffee.
"Don't bring me into this." Sirius laughed, and they all started giggling.
Everyone was now sitting at the breakfast table, joking and laughing. It almost felt like everything was okay.
"So why do you celebrate Christmas on the 25th? We always spend it today." Fleur asked with a confused smile.
"It's a tradition here in England, I think. I mean, wizards and witches aren't probably supposed to celebrate Christmas since we're quite different from muggles. But to us, it's about family time." Bill explained gently and kissed Fleur on the cheek.
"And gifts." George peeked in, and Fred nodded agreeingly.
"Yes, those too." Bill laughed.
Elwia noticed that Remus and Sirius stood up and went to the kitchen, so she nudged Harry gently.
"Let's go ask them." the girl whispered while slowly rising from her seat. Harry nodded, and we left the dining room together.
"Hey, Uncle Moony and Sirius. Me and Harry were wondering if we could come with you to Godric's hollow. We want to visit our parents' graves too." Elwia asked with a small smile and glanced at Harry.
"Hmm, I guess you can, but we all have to maintain a low profile." Sirius said and patted Elwia on the shoulder.
"You know, 15 years ago on Christmas, Sirius and I decided to buy both of you toy broomsticks. You almost destroyed the whole house." Uncle Moony laughed and looked at Sirius with a smile.
"Oh, yes, I remember. I already know about Harry's quidditch wins and all that, but I have also just heard that Elwia's the Slytherin chaser." Sirius smiled proudly.
"I was also the quidditch captain of House Ombrelune back in Beauxbatons." Elwia added with a smirk.
"James and Lily would be so proud of you two." Sirius said with his eyes full of nostalgia.
