A song for the chapter: Let It Happen - Tame Impala
"I love you all so much." Elwia sobbed, hugging her dear Slytherin friends, even Mattheo.
"I'm sure we'll see each other someday; don't you worry, Wia." Astoria smiled, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Is there no way you could write to us while you're gone?" Pansy asked quietly, not yet crying herself but dangerously close to it.
"I can't use Mitski, but I'll try to find a way." Elwia answered, backing away from the hug.
"Goodbye, Elwia. Stay safe, would you?" Blaise said and patted Elwia's shoulder.
"I will, and I suggest all of you do the same as well. I don't want to lose any of you." Elwia dried her tears with a smirk.
While the others departed to find their families on the crowded platform, Mattheo remained still, gazing at Elwia with a peculiar softness in his eyes.
"Good luck, Potter." Mattheo flashed a rare smile.
"Thank you, Riddle. Good luck to you also, don't get exposed." Elwia nodded.
Mattheo was just about to leave, but then he said, "I will keep an eye on Draco, and I'll try to update you on how he's doing. I can't tell him of your well-being, though."
Elwia mouthed the words, "Thank you," which Mattheo nodded his head to, and then finally left.
"Are you ready to finally meet lovely Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon?" Harry's voice asked from behind Elwia.
'Yes, I can't wait." Elwia chuckled and walked with her brother towards the parking lot.
"They're over there, by the Vauxhall Vectra estate car." Harry slightly pointed his finger somewhere.
"I'm sorry, what? What's a 'vax vera esta'?" Elwia shook her head, confused.
"Right, I forgot you don't know a thing about cars. Those two people over there by the silver car. Can you see it? The tall woman with a giraffe neck, standing with a chubby man with no neck at all?" Harry laughed.
Elwia squinted her eyes, trying to spot Harry's description. "Blimey, maybe I need glasses as well." She chuckled, but finally, as they got closer, she spotted Petunia and Vernon.
"Well, you were not lying with your description. Aunt Petunia has enough neck for both of them. Is Uncle Vernon always this purple?" Elwia whispered to Harry.
"Yes." Harry answered, flashing a tight-lipped smile as they were now standing in front of their lovely relatives.
"Hello! I'm Elwia. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." Elwia painted a smile on her face, reaching out her hand to Aunt Petunia.
Harry tried his best to hide his snickering, letting out a few coughs not to reveal himself.
Aunt Petunia raised her eyebrow in a surprised manner, and after a few seconds of thinking, she shook Elwia's hand.
"I wasn't told you had red hair." Aunt Petunia commented, taking a quick look at Elwia up and down.
"Oh, I guess it wasn't really that relevant." Elwia answered, also quickly shaking Uncle Vernon's hand, who had a grip so tight that she was sure for a second that her hand would break.
"Hmh, hello to you too, Harry. Get in the car, would you? Dudders is eagerly waiting for his supper." Petunia sighed arrogantly and sat in the front.
"Is Dudders their dog?" Elwia whispered to Harry as she got in the backseat.
