Gone Now, Here Tomorrow

Chapter 15

           Harry hugged me tightly, instead of running of and refusing to talk to me, like I thought he would. He pulled away from me and looked sad.

          "What is it?" I asked starting to worry.

          "Well, it's just, I don't know if I could live with myself if anything happened to you. We already lost our parents, and I don't want to lose you the same way." I nodded, understanding what he meant.

          "Ditto, but we have to consider the other people in our lives. At one time it might be necassary for me to sacrafice myself for some reason, or even, you, or Ron, or Hermione. Even Dumbledore. I think that the only reason people fear death is because they don't come back, but we have to be strong and face what comes to us, instead of running and hiding."

          "Yeah, I guess your right..." He trailed off just as we heard footsteps behind us. I looked back to see Dumbledore, looking at me with one of his famous, way-to-Jade glances mixed with his stern, I-gave-you-orders-and-you-broke-them glare. I smiled back angelically, but bypassed me and walked down the steps.

          "Are we in trouble?" Harry asked looking worried. And then from there it was just dumbledore's long and boring speech of things I already know.

          And while I was bored I decided to, for some odd reason, stare at the mirror, and realised that 'erised' spelled backwards, is 'desired' [I literally found that out the first time I read the book], and that Dumbledore desires a pair of socks...... geez, awkward much?

          Well, I bolted after that speech was done, and brought out that box again. Undecorated. Unopened letter inside. I opened the box and grabbed the letter and read it,

          Dear Jade,

I see you did not open this box before Christmas, that's good, that shows restraint. I'm so proud of you and Harry, but I must get on with the letter.

As most know, you nor Harry REALLY got to see your parents, and actually socialize or anything, so I pulled out some memories of them for you and Harry to enjoy.

                                                 Love Uncle Sirius

I have an uncle.

          "Harry! I still can't believe it! We have an uncle!" I had probably said that about seven million times before now, but I was just so excited! He could take us in! And he could tell us about our parents every night!

          "Isn't it great Harry?" I said jumping up and down.

          The Dining Hall seemed more crowded than usual today, or maybe more squished. I could barely move my elbow without hitting Harry is the stomach or anything.

          Then I realized it. The pensive in Dumbledore's office, that's how we'll watch the memories. And if you're wondering how I know it's there... Well, I've been in there a few times.

          But Dumbledore would'nt just LET us conveniently use his pensive.... We'd have to sneak in, hmm...
