Gabrielle Lupin (Remus Lupin's Daughter) Book Two

19

I look around stood there frozen not knowing what to do and quite frankly not knowing how the bloody hell I got myself here. The death eaters haven't touched me, well I guess I wasn't expected as there isn't anyone on their side to be paired with me and by my current reaction I know that they know I won't do anything. I can't even turn on the spot to look behind me.

"Gabrielle!"

I slowly turn my head and see Dad coming over and hugging me tightly

"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here"

"I don't know how I got here, honestly I don't"

"It was my fault, I'm sorry" Ron speaks up as he shoots another spell at a death eater

"Gabbi, it's not safe here sweetheart" Sirius speaks softly as he approaches us

Before I get a chance to reply his evil cousin known as Bellatrix starts a duel with him

Sirius falls backwards, Harry going to run over but Dad stops him. I finally move and run over helping Dad keep hold of Harry.

"I killed Sirius Black" the murder cheers

"He was your cousin!" I yell loudly over Harry's screams for Sirius

She smirks and runs off celebrating her so called achievement, Harry manages to escape and chases after her.

I look at Dad and hug him as tight as I can, he's lost his last remaining friend. He's back to being alone.

"I'm so sorry Dad"

"It's ok little one"

"But you lost all your friends again"

"That is true but I still got you"

"You'll always have me" I smile

"As will you always have me" he smiles back

Dad makes sure everyone is ok and we go to find Harry, eventually finding him with Dumbledore.

"Students with me back to Hogwarts" He speaks

I hug Dad tightly and kiss his cheek "I love you"

"I love you too, now off you go and no escaping again" he chuckles

I smile and walk over to Dumbledore where we apparate back to Hogwarts

Everyone goes back to their Dorms except Harry who walks in the opposite direction so I decide to follow him.

He ends up sat by the lake so I take a seat next to him although he ignores my presence.

"It will be ok, I promise"

"We was gonna be a family"

I wrap my arm around him and he rests his head on my shoulder

"You got me, and Dad, you got a lot of people still. I know it's tough with him being like a dad to you and now he's gone."

"You live with your Dad Gabbi. You know who took another person away from me"

"You're not the only one though, he's taken many people off this earth, look at Neville. His own parents doesn't even know who he is, he has to see his parents who think he's a stranger that must be harder than not having them at all. He took my Mum"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know"

"It's fine, focus on the bigger picture Harry. Yes bellatrix did it but she was influenced to do it just like all the other death eaters are."

"I know and for that I'm going to kill him I don't know when but I know I will."

"Then focus on that, put all your pain into your work. Get stronger and better at spells and defences. Good will come in the end, but in order for that to happen bad must take place first."

"That's good advice but if it was you what would you do?"

"If he took Dad from me I'd hunt him down and kill him. That is what I would've done if it was a while ago, but now. I'd focus on making myself more powerful so I'll be able to kill him without him killing me first or me getting injured."

"So basically I have to wait?"

"Yes, you wait and get yourself ready. Get him when he's weak and not expecting it"

"That could be a long time though"

"it will be worth the wait, I promise"

I get up and say bye before heading inside and begin to pack my stuff to go back home. Phew this year has been dramatic again. Hopefully next year will be drama free.
