Artemis
After successfully avoiding Harry, Sirius, Remus and my father all morning we have our first class,
"Nooooo, I don't want to go," I say,
"Same let's ditch," Valentina agrees as Parvati and Lavender are dragging Valentina and I to the divination classroom,
"YES, pleaseee I don't want to," I beg while smiling, we hear voices behind us,
"Come on Hermione don't make us go," Nathan says behind us,
"Yeah, Mum and Dad say it's all a bunch of bull," Harry continues, but when they catch up to us Hermione turns to me saying,
"You want to go to divination right,"
"Does it look like I want to," looking down at my wrist which is being held by Lavender, as her Parvati are clearly dragging Valentina and I up the stairs,
"Yes, Artemis and I definitely want to go to this bullshit class," Valentina interjects, while the three boys sniffle a laugh,
"It is going to be a great class," Lavender huffs,
"Yeah sure it will," Ron grumbles, not looking at Lavender, as she blushes and drags Parvati with her to the classroom, probably to talk about Won Won,
The quadrant walks past and Harry slips a note into my hand closest to him before looking at me with a pleading look and walking into the classroom.
"We're ditching right?" Valentina whispers in my ear leaning over to me,
"100 percent," I whisper back before we sprint down the stairs and and up on the third floor in front of the one eyed witch. Both putting our hands on our knees puffing before looking up at each other and burst out laughing.
"Oh god Lav and Parvati are going to kill us," Valentina laughs,
"Oh yeah, we're absolutely dead," I say, "Can we go to the library I want to pick some books," I look at Valentina and she just nods as we make our way to the library I hear two sets of foot sets,
"Quick," I whisper pushing Val into the closest broom closet and hold my hand over her month, and just as we can no longer hear the foot steps I hear their voices,
"Padfoot she's avoiding all of us including Harry, it breaks me seeing her in the hall avoiding all of our gazes, she laughing with people we don't even know, she's happy without us," James says heartbroken,
"Prongs listen we all missed her your not the only one hurt and I am not dismissing you but you have to think about it from her perspective. Artemis was obviously put in the foster system or in an orphanage, we have no idea what her life has been like, we have no idea what she's been through. For all we know could have been abused just as bad as I was, we both know not all smiles are real even if the look it." Sirius reasons but I feel a tear drip down my face hearing their words or the fact they actually want me, "We all love her but she needs time, the fact she even here is a miracle, just give her time,"
"I just want my daughter back Pads," James sighs before their foot steps trail away, letting my hand slide of Valentina's mouth and turn away opening the door and walking out while wiping my eyes.
"Artemis? Are you alright?" Val questions so when I turn around to face her see a very concerned look in her face,
"Val I'm good, you don't need to worry," I say with a fake smile, "Let's just get to the library,"
After collecting a few books of interest and walk down to Black Lake careful to avoid Filch. Sitting down under a tree overlooking the lake we take the books out of my tote bag, I pull out Val's two books and stretch out my legs on the grass and pull out 'A History of Magic' wanted to find out more about wandless magic.
"So what does the note from Harry say," Val asks,
"I actually don't know," I admit,
"Well then read it," She says excitedly, as I grab my tote bag from beside me and rummage through the bag until I find the note, "Well?" Val questions, I open the note and hold it where me both can see, and it reads:
Please stop avoiding me Artemis,
I really want to talk to my twin, please.
Meet me at the Gryffindor commonroom fire at 12 tonight
I love you, Harry
"You should go," Val whispers, "He's your brother and twin,"
"ok," I whisper back reluctant. Leaving me be she goes back to her spot beside me and I continue reading. I'm so absorbed in my book I don't notice Val moving as she faces for back to me before lying down the back for her head resting on my legs, without meaning to I flich and cringe hoping she didn't notice. She stays quiet and continues to read her book.
"I know you were abused Ar," she whispers, I freeze, shock flooding my body,
"I... how?" I question realising I'm kind of glad she figured it out so I don't have to hide it from everyone,
"I think I would recognise my own reactions Ar,"
A/N surprise?
