I swallowed.
"On my mother's side. She was also part veela," I looked away from him. He nodded. He believed me. I blew out a breath and leaned into him.
"You smell good," I hissed into his neck. I pulled back and Harry was blushing and smiling dumbly at me.
Molly called up to me, "It's time for the last meeting until the new year!" I gave Harry a quick kiss and ran to the stairs. Molly held opened the door before enchanting it. At the last meeting Fred and George tried to listen in on what was being discussed.
"Now, we know with out a doubt that Voldemort wants into the department of mysteries. But for what?" Sirius glanced around the table.
"The prophecy. Harry's prophecy." Lupin whispered. "Remember?"
Snape entered loudly, re-enchanting the door. He took a seat by Remilda. "Sorry about that I had other business."
"What is he planning, Severus?" Dumbledore asked. I think I may vomit. My throat burned.
"He wants to know the prophecy. He won't stop until he has it." Snape glanced at me. "He also thinks he knows who can get it for him. But they aren't someone who is completely willing to." Oh bloody hell. My father couldn't just leave me out of plans for a little while? I hoped Snape wasn't thinking of me when he said that. The meeting continued on the watch for the next week up until New Years. Once it concluded Molly began dinner and Snape pulled me aside.
"He thinks you are here for him. But your here for Potter," he clicked his tongue but gave a shadow of a smirk.
"I am here for both," I lowered my eyes to my bare feet.
"Yes but you love Potter more than your father. He wouldn't except that," Snape touched my arm tentatively.
"Snape, he hasn't been here for any other decision of mine. I've turned out fine haven't I?" Snape nodded at me and turned away. I hated when he did that.

Harry shook me awake. "Ellie..Ellie.."
"Mm?" I rubbed my eyes, "What time is it?"
"Maybe like two in the morning. You were shouting loudly," I bit my lip. I was having a dream about father torturing Harry. I was next father would kill me. Thinking about the dream again reduced me to tears.
"Shhh, don't cry. What happened?" Harry ran a hand along my spine.
"I-I'm scared for you. For us. I can feel it. The war is just beginning. I can't lose you," I admitted through my tears. But my father was the cause. Did I want to join his cause or stay with someone who treated me right? I buried my face into Harry's chest and he rubbed my back in small circles. I felt his body become slack and I too fell into a dreamless sleep.
••••
"Merry Christmas!" Sirius had flung our door open at the crack of dawn. I groaned and covered my head. Harry was already pulling on his robe. Sirius yanked away the blanket.
"Sirius have you seen the time?" I groaned loudly. I grabbed my thick robe and pulled it over my flannel night clothes. Harry waited for Sirius to leave before kissing my cheek.
"Merry Christmas Ellie." He hugged me tightly. I smiled slightly. I started to think of my father alone With Wormtail god knows where. I knew I was just apart of his plan to take control again but I felt sort of used. He hadn't even asked for me to come home..
Harry took in account for how down I looked. "Are you okay?"
I nodded. "I suppose I'm just home sick." Harry shrugged and we went down to the dining room. All of the Weasley's were awake along with Hermione, Remilda, Harry, and myself. I saw that we each had a place marked with our name. As if by the grace of god I was placed in between Fred and George. Harry looked at me and smiled encouragingly. I just made a face and grabbed some toast. Everyone had too eat before we could open our gifts. Remus came in just then, his hair was messed up but he looked more cheery than any other day of the year. I had an envelope from Remilda's mother that I opened first.
Elizabeth,
I had been wanting to get to know you when Remilda told me about you and her first letter to me. You look so much like your mother. I never thought I would be able to see you again. Your mother was very close to me. I am a Squib, the only one in your mother and I's blood line. I look forward to getting to know you more,Jennessa
A small necklace was inside the envelope. I pulled it out and saw that it was a locket. Inside was a photo on the left of Remilda's mother and who I assumed to be my mother. The other side held a photo of my Father with the same women. I was in between them. The photo one the right side so that it moved, the baby picture of me giggled as sparks flew from my hands. I could hardly breath. My father looked so normal.. I put the necklace around my neck and slid te parchment away for later tonight.
I got to a large lumpy package. I ripped away the brown paper to find a sweater. It was navy blue and silver and felt itchy against my palms. I glanced around and saw that everyone at the table had a similar sweater in varying colors, mostly red and gold. Next was a neatly wrapped package from Harry. I opened it hesitantly and saw that I was a framed pictur of us. I could barely remember it.
One day in the Room of Requirement we walked into a room different from the open we had seen. It was filled with items of differently shapes and sizes. I was mesmerized by all the things that had build up there over so many years.
My eyes had found a camera sitting atop a large cherry wood cabinet. I had scaled the cabinet and grabbed the camera.
"Smile!" I had aimed the camera lens toward Harry and took the photo. An idea had struck me. I set it on an ornate stand and set the timer. Harry wrapped me in a hug and kissed me just as the timer clicked and the room was filled with a white light.
Now, Harry smiled at me. His hands were holding the large case that held several notes I had hand written for him to open. Harry opened the latch and pulled out one note that was scrawled in blue ink and smelt like..
"Lilacs," Harry whispers and grabbed my hand across the table. Ginny stare at me with ice cold eyes. It was odd that I felt so happy with Harry.*****
Break ended and we were back to school in no time. It was mid January and we had started the DA up again. I wasn't enjoy as much as I had been. Father was sending for me on the last day of January. My throat was sore and dry.
"Expelliarmus!" Luna shouted and my wand flew across the room. Suddenly the door flew up and a small house elf burst in. The creature ran to Harry.
"Umbridge..Umbridge knows. Dobby came to warn Harry Potter!" The elf huffed and took a seat on the floor. Harry's eyes were wide.
"Everyone! Run! Get to your common rooms!" Harry shouted and grabbed my hand. We burst through the door and down a hall.
"Not so fast!" Draco chuckled.
"Malfoy get out of the way!" I screamed and shoved him. As I did I leaned in. "I'll tell father you little toad."
Malfoy swallowed hard but grabbed my arm.
"I'm not scared of you Elizabeth!" Malfoy dragged Harry and I down the hall. I heard others shouting. Crabbe and Goyle rounded the corner with Ron and Hermione. We were all dragged to the stone Gargoyle leading to Dumbledore's office. The gargoyle jumped aside as Umbridge trotted down the stairs with a wide smile.
"Mm Mr. Potter. I should have known." Her eyes were cold as she looked at me. More Slytherines rounded the corner with people from the meeting. Pansy Parkinson didn't make eye contact with me as she past. She led Fred, George, and Ginny up the stairs. Next was a group of Ravenclaw students and hufflepuff students combined. I saw Cho but I didn't see the stuck up girl she had brought to the meeting. Ron, Hermione, Harry, and I were led up next.
My head was spinning. What was happening? Dumbledore was sitting at his desk and smiling happily as we entered.
"Welcome," Dumbledore was smiling. Chairs were counted and all of us present took a seat, except Umbridge. She started to pace before letting a girl into the office. Cho gaped, seeing the girl before the rest of us. It was her friend. Mary? I could never remember her name. I gasped as I saw the word SNITCH across her forehead in pimples. The minister o magic threw the doors open and made his way to Dumbledore's desk.
"DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY!?" Fudge shouted at the top of his voice. Harry made a movement to speak and Dumbledore gave him a stem look. Something came over him, making him unable to speak.
"Of course. Who else is going to fight Lord Voldemort. Obviously not the Ministry, Cornealus." Dumbledore smiled.
"You-Know-Who has not returned! You are out of your mind!" Fudge stomped his foot like a little boy getting ready to throw a tantrum.
"Throw yourself on the floor, Ickle Cornealus." I whispered in a low hiss to Harry.
"I can't believe you were plotting against the ministry! We already have a nice spot in Askaban for you." Fudge nodded and the same tall black man walked into the office.
"Ah Kingsley" Dumbledore smiled, "I think you are expecting me to, ho you say, come quietly." The headmaster stood and rose his arms for Faux his large phoenix There was a blast of light and he was gone. Fudge shouted at Kingsley for not stupefying him and told him to go after him. Kingsley sighed visibly and gave Harry a quick wink before he rushed out of the office.
*********
The next day Umbridge was appointed Head Master. She called herself the High Inquistor. What a stuck up prat..
