The Order of the Phoenix was sitting in 12 Grimmauld Place. Sirius had called for a meeting a late November night. The ones present at this meeting was Molly, Arthur, Remus, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Severus, Minerva and Dumbledore.
"I got a letter a few days ago..." he takes a deep breath before continuing. "From Melia."
Molly looks at him with worry in her eyes. If he called in a meeting for this, then it must be something important, "What did it say?" he passes her the letter.
"This summer started great, we ate amazing dinners and read lots of books... I felt welcomed... Then Bellatrix showed up..." everyone looked at her to see if they heard right. "She said I had to for fill a promise my parents made... I refused and said she would have to make me... which she did... after one month of torture, I gave in... I had a Dark Mark when I woke up a week later... I'm not able to sleep or eat... and my voice is destroyed... Now I have this stupid mission to do"
"Mission? Does it say anything about what?" Minerva asks.
"No, the last thing she wrote was that she hopes I can forgive her one day and that she's sorry," Sirius answers with sorrow and anger in his voice. Not anger for her, but for the Malfoy's and his cousin.
Severus sits back in his chair, "I knew about this..."
Everyone looks at him with surprise. "You knew and didn't say anything? How long have you known?" Sirius raises from his chair in anger.
"Only a few weeks. One day after class I told her to stay behind. I asked her what happened at the Manor, but she didn't reply. Then I saw it. The mark."
"So, it's true then. She's a Death Eater now?"
"Yes, Molly. I'm afraid so, but the fact that she waited for a month before saying yes, makes me a little proud," they look at him. "She didn't give up right away, she fought." They all nod in agreement.
"What are we going to do now?" Kingsley asks.
Dumbledore moves forwards in his chair and places his arms on the table, "Nothing."
"What?!" They say in unison.
"Sirius keep sending her letters. Maybe she'll tell you when she's ready. That's the only thing we can do right now."
"But-" Sirius cuts them off. "I agree."
After a few minutes, everyone has left except Molly and Artur. Sirius gets up from his chair to make some tea for the three of them. They talk for a while about Melia and her situation. Before they're able to leave, Sirius stops them.
"Hey, Arthur?"
"Yes?"
"Could you do something for me?"
"Depends..."
"Could you get some muggle books for me?"

Back at Hogwarts, Draco is leading Melia to the common room, hands over her eyes.
"Draco," she whispers.
"We're nearly there. Just be patient."
Draco says the password and they walk inside. He removes his hands to revel all the people standing there.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" all of them shouts. Pansy, Millicent and Daphne runs up to her and gives her a big hug. Then Rosie also comes up to her and hugs her. Melia sits down on her knees opening the gift Rosie brought. She opened it and sees one of the books she has been wanting for a long time. Wizard of Oz
"How did you know?" she points at Draco who gives them a mischievous smirk. Then he hauls her up on her feet and brings her over to the middle of the room where a cake is placed. She moves over to it and wishes something before blowing the candles out. Everyone cheers. Some music starts and everyone is having a great time.
Later on, Melia and Draco go up to the Astronomy Tower. He said that he had a gift for her but wanted to give it in private. They walk hand in hand towards the tower, trying not the get caught by Filch or his cat. When they arrive at the tower, they lean on the railing looking out at the beautiful view. Draco takes off his jacket and puts it over her shoulders. She smiles at him gratefully and leans on his shoulder. He kisses her head.
They stand like that for some time until Draco turns her around. They stare into each other's eyes. He cups her cheeks and moves closer to her until their lips meet. She kisses him back right away. They both move in sync and Melia take her arms around his shoulders. They break apart, foreheads sticking together.
"That's why you wanted to give it in private, ferret boy?" she whispers.
He chuckles, "You heard about that?"
"Yes, and it was hilarious."
"Oh, shut up," he moves one hand to her lower back and their lips meet once more. She smiles into the kiss, best birthday gift ever.
