Tobi whined, climbing onto the desk next to her. Professor McGonagall gave them a look, but didn't say anything. She knew the dog's purpose. "You okay?" Harry asked. |

"No. I'm fu.cking horrible, Harry." Melanie debated whether telling her brother what was wrong. He was her brother, but then again, she knew he would understand if she couldn't.

"It's Sev..." Melanie almost sobbed when she spoke his name. "It's just... I don't know anymore."

Harry didn't know what to do. HE was mad, extremely mad, and Severus would know later. "Talk to me."

"I-I can't right now." Melanie choked out. Surely he would understand, right?

Harry nodded. "Professor, may we be excused?" He asked, raising his hand.

McGonagall dismissed them with a nod of her head and a wave of her hand, seeing that something was wrong with Melanie. She never liked seeing a child upset, especially the Potters, whom she cared a great deal for. Melanie walked out of the room, knowing Hary would follow.

Harry followed, Tobi a few steps behind him. He grabbed her arm, steering her into an empty classroom. He locked the door behind him, something telling him to sound proof the room, too. "What's wrong?" |

Melanie broke down then, crying into his shoulder. "Harry, there was...a note. From Malfoy... Lucius Malfoy. And it said..." She trailed off, not being able to say it herself.

Harry rubbed her back softly, sneering at the name. "What did it say?" He asked.

"It was... a request. Voldemort asked Malfoy to contact Sev; he wanted him to watch over me. And try to gain my trust, so I would fall right into his trap. I don't know what to believe. Harry, what if this is... all just a setup?"

"Oh God..." Harry said softly, hugging her tighter. This was just. wrong. If this was all a trap, then... wow.

Melanie hugged him back, needing her brother's comfort. "I don't know what to do."

"Confront him. Or I will." Harry replied, not being able to stop the flood of anger wahsing over him. This was a man that, against his instincts, he trusted his sister with. If he found out that all of this was a plot to kill them again, he'd kill the man himself.

"No, I will." Melanie said quickly, pulling away slightly to wipe her eyes with her hand. "Don't say anything to anyone, 'kay? Like... not even Ron."

Harry shook his head. "I'd never tell them something like this, Mel. I think you should want until later to do it, though. Catch him alone." ((I may have him kill Dumbledore, yo.)) |

Melanie nodded. "Yeah, you're right. Thank you, Harry. You might just be the best little brother ever." ((Aw. :u))

((Just so you could do that "How dare you stand where he stood" scene.)) Harry smiled, pulling away to kiss her forehead. "I try. I mean, you're the only one I've got left." |

((...THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.)) Melanie smiled back. "And you're the only one I have left. Seriously, thanks. You know, whenever I can't count on anyone else, I can always count on you." She pulled away from him completely, realizing she had to look up. "No fair... you're younger; I'm supposed to be taller."
