After Elladora and Avery's small spat, the meeting went fairly easily. Most of the time was spent with Evan and the others where she just stayed silent the whole time whilst they talked about stuff outside of Hogwarts which hurt to hear but there was nothing that would ruin her life in there; more and more muggle families were being killed and a lot of them weren't being found by the daily prophet so they were passing around the idea of sending patronus' to the ministry to get them to see what they could do and let the public know too. She didn't like it at all but she couldn't speak out, she would only endanger herself more.
When they were all moved out into the larger group, it had only been about 10 minutes of recap before they were allowed to leave and Yaxley took the group back to Hogsmeade where they trudged their way back to the castle. It had gotten dark and the trip had surely been over by the time they came back from Malfoy Manor, Elladora was disappointed since she had been looking forward to sitting in The Three Broomsticks with her friends and having a break from well...everything.
At dinner, Elladora caught Remus' eye when he was looking over in the direction of the Slytherin table and he furrowed his eyebrows with a small shrug, telling her that he wanted to know where she had been. She only pointed to Yaxley and Remus nodded acceptingly, but that was really the only interaction they had had that evening as Elladora was whisked back to the common room after dinner before making up some stupid excuse about being tired so she could sleep.
Another day done and a new one to begin the next morning.
"Hi guys." Elladora greeted the group as she approached them on the Sunday morning, the boys were more awake than they had been yesterday; James and Peter were talking with Mary as she discussed a book idea she had, Sirius was talking with Marlene and Dorcas and Lily and Remus were making conversation.
"Hi." Remus greeted, grinning at her as she slipped into the place next to him. A bowl of porridge was placed in front of her and she thanked him softly whilst grabbing a spoon to eat it with. "Where did you go yesterday? Did remedial defence run over?"
"Yeah." She shrugged her shoulders, turning her head to look at him and pausing at the sight of his messy hair, slightly larger bags than usual and his hunched over posture. It was then that she realised what day it was; May 2nd, a week until the full moon. "You feeling okay?"
"Fine." He murmured, the two of them sharing a knowing smile. Hers was to tell him that she would get his potion after breakfast and his was an understanding but obviously with Lily and other other girls around them, they couldn't really talk about his monthly problem. "I was thinking that later we could get started on Murder On The Orient Express."
"Definitely." She smiled, eating a spoonful of porridge and swallowing it whilst he watched her closely, smiling to himself. "I'll read to you this time if you just want to rest. Instead of you reading out loud...unless you want to."
