My Best Friend, My Light, My Love

Chapter 18

"So I am assuming everyone calls you Stelly?" "No. Only four people are aloud to call me Stelly. Percy, Harry, Jake, and Remus." "Oh then what do the rest call you?" "Well Ginny, Taylor, George, Bailey, Aubrey, Sam, Lee, and Dalila just call me Stell. Dad calls me Sweetheart or Stell or Daughter as a joke. Lance calls me Stella. And Fred has come up with about 10 names. And I will let him list those." "Of course. Let's see. Babe, Darling, Love, Sleeping Beauty, Queen Sleepy, Princess, Queen, Miss Black that's just me joking though. And then there's Honey, My Favorite Ravenclaw, My Ravenclaw, My Girl, Cookie Dough, and last Mac and Cheese. I think that's all." "Wait wait wait Mac and Cheese?" "Ya." "How did you come up with that one?" "Well Miss Thomas your daughter has a list of foods that cheer her up Jake has memorized this list. But Mac and Cheese is on that list every once in a while. So one day I said Mac and Cheese and she turned her head and said "yes" as in she wanted Mac and Cheese. But it sounded like she thought I called her Mac and Cheese so know I just call her Mac and Cheese." "Wow." "Huh you remember that. We both broke out in laughter after that." "So how long have you two been together?" "8 months ma'am." "Okay enough small talk why are you here mom?" "I wanted to see my daughter." "You've had 15 years to do that. Why now?" "Because I was finally ready." "And what you thought you could just walk in and everything would be better? I have a life and I can't put it on hold to catch up with my mom who left me!" "Ya I know I just want to learn about you." "Like what my favorite color, my favorite song, my friends, well I think Fred could answer all those questions for you. Fred?" "Her favorite color is pink or blue. Her favorite song would have to be Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton or The Baby by Blake Shelton but she cry's really hard when she listens to that one. Her friends are Dalila, Taylor, Ginny, George, Lee, Bailey, Sam, Aubrey, and then you have her friends who are like her brothers Percy, Draco, Harry, and Jake. Oh and for a bonus her favorite food is either Chocolate, Spaghetti, cookie dough, or Sloppy Joes." "Wow you know a lot about her." "Well I am her boyfriend." "No I just want to learn a little about my daughter." "Well I don't know what else." "Please just give me a chance." Estella slammed her hands down on the table and got up and walked up to her room. "Umm Mr. Black?" "You can go Fred and Jake." "Thanks," They both said in unison. "STELLY." "MAC AND CHEESE." "Come in guys." "Wow you got up five minutes ago and you already have your nose in a book." "What can I say I'm magic." "Listen she just wants to know about you. I mean you are so beautiful and smart and kind who wouldn't." "If she wanted to know about me Freddie she wouldn't of left." "Fair. Alright we are calling the Cheer up Squad. Jake you get the food." "Seriously babe is that what you are going to call the group now?" "Yep we all are." Jake then ran down to get the food. And Fred wrote letters to Percy, George, Ginny, Taylor, Jake, Lee, and Dalila. "Alright everyone is on their way." "Thanks babe." Estella kissed him but they were interrupted by a knock. "What is it Mom." Daniel opened the door. "How did you know it was me?" "Well me and Fred are up here alone so Harry and Dad would just walk in. Jake is getting something for me so he can't knock. And Remus would have just slid chocolate under the door and would have charmed coffee to fit under the door." "WOW your smart." "Ya she is that's why I love her." "Well I just wanted to see your room and well you." "Well this is the place. Bed is over there. That's my walking closet. Then you have the TV. Over there is the balcony. The guitar dad got me. The couch. My study is the second door to the left from here. That's where some of my books are, and my desk. All of my school, work, and other stuff is there. And then the second floor of my room is the rest of my books." Daniel looked around then headed up the steps. "Wow I take it you like to read?" "Yep she's my little book worm. Oh hey I forgot that name." "STELLY LET ME IN I HAVE THE FOOD!" "All hail the bringer of food." Estella said this after opening the door for Jake. "Yes get on your knees and bow." "So you guys like to joke?" "Just ask Lance." That small remark from Fred set Jake and Estella into laughter. "Would you mind if I ask who Lance is?" "He's just a friend." Estella's voice stiffened and lost all laughter in it the moment she spoke to her mom. "Please Estella just let me get to know you. That's all I want to do know my daughter." "Then you shouldn't of left." Then Daniel walked out. She knew not to push the girl any further. "You know Daniel she has a point. You can't just come back and expect it to go back to normal." "I know that Sirius I was just hoping she would give me another chance." "What do you want to know about her?" "Can we just star with her full name?" "Estella Lily Black." "Ok and her best friend?" "Jake." "Who is Lance?" "Lance is the guy who baby sat Estella but not very often because me and Remus and Lance helps Estella and Jake have fun at the ball every year. He's a great guy and is like Estella's grandpa." "What ball?" "I have thrown a ball on Christmas since Estella was 2 she walked down the grand staircase with me until she was 12 when she started walking down with Jake. Even when she is dating Fred she will always walk down with Jake." "Why did you seem so worried when Jake got all of the food?" "Because last time he did the food cheer up list was when she changed schools." "She didn't always go to Hogwarts?" "No she just started this year." "Why did you name her Estella Lily Black?" "Well my whole family is named after stars. Estella means star in Latin. All of the spells in The Wizarding World are in Latin. Lily Potter was and is my best friend. And you ran off so she took my last name." "How do you feel about Fred?" "He had been warned not to hurt her. He loves her and treats her right so we are a fan of him." "So she likes books?" "Ya a lot." Then they were interrupted by the sound of feet rushing up the steps. "THE CHEER UP SQUAD IS HERE. Oh hey Mr. Black where is Estella?" "SHE'S IN THE ROOM CHEER UP SQUAD!" He said this in the same exited voice as Ginny. Then he descended down the stairs leaving Daniel in shock over what had just happened.
