Always...

Dumbles and Melllon

A/N: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling (not me, but I wish...) and it is absolutely awesome. If I do not get all the facts correct it is meant to be that way. The character Genevieve belongs to me.

"Umm.. hello are you Genevieve?" A tall embarrassed looking 5th year came up to me and Remus as we walked up to the common room after the feast

"Yes."

"Well Dumbledore told me to give you this."

"Okay thank you." I said.

To Genevieve,

Meet me in my office as soon as possible. Get your new friend Remus to show you the way as he has been here before. ;)

Dumbledore

"Remus, do you think you could show me to Dumbledore's office please?" I asked.

"Yes of course I will."

He grabbed my hand and lead me to Dumbledore's office. When we got there he let go of my hand and I couldn't help feeling disappointed. Remus noticed this and chuckled slightly.

"Sherbet lemons." Remus said as if it was an important announcement. I thought he was going a bit loopy until a gargoyle who was blocking the stairs ahead of us jumped out of our way and bowed to us both.

We stepped onto the first step and the staircase spiralled up carrying us with it, taking us up to the door of Dumbledore's office . I knocked and waited until Dumbledore called me in. Remus turning round and heading back to the common room after waving at me.

"Take a seat." Dumbledore gestured to the chair opposite his desk and I sat down.

"Professor I do not have anything apart from my Hogwarts letter and the clothes I stand in (as I lost my blanket in Kings cross). So I cannot afford to buy any school things, I don't even have a wand." To be honest I felt pretty helpless at the moment and I was sure that not even Professor Dumbledore could help me.

"I an fully aware of that Miss Rosier." When Dumbledore said my name I flinched visibly. I was disowned from my family, lets just say that it was nasty. I ran away before they could hurt me more and as I knew no one outside my family. Oh my parents made sure of it. I had nowhere to go, and as I explained this to Dumbledore his face showed sorrow and kindness. How I missed feeling like I had an adult who would listen to me and not look down at me with disgust.

Dumbledore said that I needed a guardian to care for me in the summer and to help me and guide me with my future. Also he said that if I met him here in the morning he would buy me a wand.

"So Genevieve, before you start lessons tomorrow come to my office with me and I will arrange for Ollivander to come too. In the mean time I will search for the loving and caring family that you deserve."

"Thank you Dumbledore so so much!"

"Oh please call me Dumbles, its much quicker to say."

"Night Dumbles!"

"Goodnight Genevieve, do you know your way back to the common room?"

"No..."

"Okay I will get my elf to show you."He said."Mellon!" (A/N: as in the elfish word for friend from lord of the rings)

"Hello Mellon at your service Master Albus, Miss Genevieve." The house elf had very dainty elvish ears and a pixie like face. As house elves go this was a quite good looking elf.

When my head hit the pillow I drifted of into a dreamless sleep thinking of the family I could have.
