 I finish my cup of tea and set the cup in the sink before looking at everyone.

I look at each of the adults around me.

"Look I think it'll be good for me to get away for a while. I can be someone else for a while and I can be happy again, That's what you want isn't it?" I ask

"Of course we want that, but what about school? What if we can get Snape to help you with your studies on the weekends?" Tonks asks

"No, I can do all of my studies on my own. I can do it all while i'm in Romania and the last time i checked I was so far ahead of everyone I was set for graduation so I think i can miss some school" I say

"And everyone starts summer vacation tomorrow, I'll take care of her I promise" Charlie says

"We know you will Charlie, but we just need to be extra careful now. What if someone sees you Elissabeth?" Lupin asks

"Way ahead of you" I say pulling a box of Muggle hair dye from the counter. "I change my hair and my clothes and I spend some time in Romania, become a different person that way nobody knows its me"

Tonks takes the box from me and looks at it for a minute before looking at Charlie and Myself.

"Upstairs. We'll change your hair and then you can go" She says sadly

I run upstairs and into the bathroom, waiting for her. She comes in with a towel and I sit down on the edge of the bath, she starts to put the dye in and I sit there playing with my bracelet.

"You know Fred and Katie are a thing now?" Tonks says randomly

"I saw them kiss after Dumbledore's speech. I let him go, I told him to move on" I say sadly

I feel her twist my hair up and pin it in place. She sits down on the edge and looks at me.

"You really loved him didn't you?" She asks

"More than anything auntie. But when I saw him kiss Katie it broke my heart and I hated myself for feeling the way I did but Katie was my friend and I should be happy for her I just don't know how to feel anymore" I answer

"Remus once told me that love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, Only with what you are expecting to give, which is everything. And you gave Fred all that you could, I know your hurting but everything will be okay eventually. Just give it some time" She tells me

I nod and she stands up and starts messing with my hair again. I feel her taking out the pins and combing through it gently. I stand up and stick my head in the tub as she turns the water on and rinses my hair out. I watch the water slowly turn black and I let out a small sigh. I ring my hair out and dry it quickly before brushing it and tucking it behind my ears.

I look in the mirror and smile. Tonks looks at me and smiles before touching my hair.

"I sort of like this color on you. You do remember how to change it right?" she asks

"Yes auntie. I remember" I say smiling up at her

She nods before following me back downstairs to the others. I say my goodbyes and I take Charlies hand, allowing him to apparate us to His house in Romania. I see the dragons in their house Charlie built for them. I smile as we walk towards the house, when Charlie opens the door I stand there shocked. He had this almost Cabin looking interior and the kitchen was huge.

"Charlie this place is beautiful. You built this place?" I ask looking around

"Kind of, Part of it was already here, I just added to it. Your room is the first one at the top of the stairs" He says from the kitchen

I climb up the stairs slowly and open the door to my room. It was decorated with all earthy colors like dark green blankets on the bed and emerald curtains. There was a desk in the corner and a bay window overlooking the dragon pen. I let out a small squeal and flop down on the bed. I hear a laugh from the door and look up.

"You like it?" Charlie asks

"I love it. Tell you what, I'll cook meals if you promise to get the post when it comes" I say standing up and following him to the kitchen

"Deal, I can show you a few of the dragons right now, if you'd like" He says nervously

"Um, yes please" I say putting my boots back on.

I follow him out to the pen and see a very familiar dragon. A norwegian ridgeback who seemed to be a little more aggressive than the others.

"Charlie, who's this one?" I ask reaching out to the dragon

"I got her from Hagrid" He says joining me

"Norbert? I thought Norbert was a male dragon" I say petting her carefully

"Nope, I think Hagrid was mistaken. This old girl seems to be a bit different than those of her same breed" He says

"How so?" I ask

"Well she refuses to fly. The others love to fly but I can't get her off the ground" He explains

"We'll just have to fix that won't we" I whisper to the dragon
