Forgotten Malfoy// Cedric

Chapter 29

I was woken up the next morning by Sirius. "Come on kid." I groaned pulling the blankets back over my head. "No thank you." He pulled all the blankets off making me glare at him. "Now Alyssa." I got up miserably not acknowledging him, going to the bathroom and quickly showering. When I got out I found a pair of old jogging pants and the sweater Sirius gave me when I first got here.

All of my things were downstairs already, I sighed sitting down at the table. "I've been thinking, do I really need to go to Hogwarts?" Remus set his fork down, "Alyssa." Sirius smiled, "I've never met anyone who hasn't wanted to go back." I shrugged, "when are Weasleys coming?" Remus checked his watch, "in a little over an hour." I nodded, looking worriedly at the clock now. "I'm guessing I won't see you guys until Christmas?" Sirius nodded, "you'll be writing of course." I smiled, "of course. And you'll be answering." Sirius rolled his eyes, "I don't know about that." I punched him lightly, "well that's not very nice." Remus laughed, "you have to take care of yourself, I won't be up there to give you daily lectures." I nodded, "oh yes how I'll miss those." Sirius spit out his toast trying not to laugh  and Remus gave me a disapproving look. "Go make sure you've packed everything, so that I don't have to give you a lecture."

I went back to my room double checking everything, I saw a box in the back of the closet that caught my attention. When I pulled it out I saw what looked like someone's belongings. "Where'd you find that?"Sirius asked. "In the closet? Is it yours?" He grabbed a few things out, "yes from when I was about your age. You should keep these sweaters, give this one to Harry for me." He handed me a pile of hoodies which I fell in love with. "There's an Irish one." He nodded, "you better have it on for the game tomorrow." I smiled packing them away. "I have to hide before Arthur gets here. This is goodbye." I looked up at him sadly. "Don't give me those eyes Alyssa, you'll see me soon enough." He wrapped me tightly in his arms, "it's been a pleasure having you here, I hope you like home." I nodded not wanting to let him go, "thank you for everything, I'm really going to miss you." He pulled away smiling at me, "you have great friends, and a good boyfriend, you'll be having a blast before you know it." I smiled, "goodbye Sirius." He kissed my forehead, "goodbye kid," he paused for a moment before giving me a nod, "I love you." I tried not to cry, "I love you too."

"Alyssa," I heard Remus call from downstairs, I heard him talking to someone and knew Arthur was here. He had all my things in the fireplace already, "hello there Ms. Malfoy." I smiled, "hello." Remus walked over hugging me, I held on tightly  "goodbye dear, you'll have lots of fun at school. Remember study hard, take care of yourself, use the bracelet, and please write." I nodded, "thank you for everything." He let go stepping back, "I am going to
miss you " I smiled, "I'll miss you more." He gave me a small wave as I stepped into the fireplace looking around grimmauld place one last time taking it all in. "Ready?" I nodded, "ready."

When I stepped out of the fireplace I looked around observing their home. It was small, but homey and magic was happening everywhere. "Alyssa dear?" Mrs. Weasley ran up to me. She ran her hand down my face, "oh dear, come sit down. Ron and Arthur are off to get Harry." I smiled taking a seat, "thank you for having me." She pushed a piece of hair out of my face, "of course. When my children told me what your father did to you, I could've killed him myself." I shrugged, "I'm okay." She hushed me, "no your not, no child should ever go through that." I sighed, "Remus took good care of me, I'll be fine." She nodded, "I'll prepare some dinner, Fred and George are upstairs they've missed you." I thanked her standing up.

I climbed two levels before coming to a room where I instantly heard laughter. I pushed open the door, "surprise," they both turned and immediately big smiles came over their face. "Alyssa." I hugged them both happily. "We need to hear everything, from the start."
