Written In The Stars -[Harry Potter xFem!Oc]

Chapter Sixteen: Harry's Plans.

Ignoring the fact that there was a murderer chasing down her best friend, Mel was having a smooth end of year. 

But she couldn't ignore that. Not now that Harry was in constant pain, scar stinging at random moments.

"It's okay, I know it hurts," Mel whispered, softly stroking his back, "we'll fix this, we'll find a way..."

Harry didn't say a thing, he just nodded and thank her under his breath once the pain was gone. It wasn't much, but she knew it was a big deal for him.

Erick, on the other hand, kept his word. He wouldn't talk to her, not even to say sorry if he accidentally bumped her shoulder as he walked passed. She knew him very little, but that didn't stop her from feeling guilty.

On a brighter note, Mel was certain she'd get an almost perfect grade (she didn't think Snape would be fair) and she couldn't wait to get the notes so she could write a letter to her mum with the good news. She hadn't talked to her mother in about a month.

Mel was reluctant to tell her about the troubles she'd gotten into. A voice in the back of her mind kept telling her 'So what? She lied to you for ten years, she doesn't have to know everything now'

She held onto that thought for as long as she could.

On the last day of revision, the four children went down to the lake. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were playing with the giant squid when they saw Mel approaching with her friends.

"We heard you won like forty-five points for Gryffindor this month," George said as soon as she arrived, "that must be a record, it's almost the same amount we lose in a month"

"I was fixing my mistakes," She shrugged, "you're speaking to me again?"

"We never stopped! Charlie sent us a letter telling us about what you did to help Hagrid," Fred added, "that was brilliant!"

"It was Harry's idea..."

"We figured it'd be someone else's," George grinned, "we know you're smarter than that, though you did get caught in the end"

"Not before though," She teased, "and if I've learned anything from you, that's the important part"

"You've been teaching her to misbehave?" Lee Jordan raised a brow, "Dumbledore's grand-daughter, seriously?"

"She's got potential," George shrugged.

"And it's niece, not grand-daughter," Fred added, winking at her.

"We're good now?" Mel inquired.

"'Course, we'll be more than happy to keep you under our wing"

Mel pondered for a moment, she looked back at her friends, noticing Harry's eyes fixated on her and the twins.

"No," She smiled.

"No," George blinked, "Why?"

"McGonagall didn't hesitate when I lied to her that night, she said something was going on when I started hanging out with you"

"And?"

"I think that's enough, you may have a lot to teach but I can't be around you so often. I have to behave. Besides, if I actually start causing trouble on my own, teachers would have it easy"

"Causing trouble on your own?" George laughed, "You're too sweet for that"

"You wouldn't get in trouble on purpose," Fred agreed.

"We'll see about that," Mel smiled, "Have a nice day!"

Fred and George were a little surprised to be rejected again, though at least it was in a much more friendly tone this time. She reached her friends at the exact moment Harry blurted out:
