Eleanor Lupin: Chapter Six

Instructions

It was Hallow's Eve, and I was in the common room. The news that John and I were dating quickly spread. Soon, everyone knew. Astrid sits down next to me. "Ellie?" she says. "Yeah?" I reply. "I have a Time-Turner." she says. "A Time-Turner? How'd you get one?" I ask. "Professor gave it to me. I only use it to go to lessons, since I have some extra." Astrid says. I nod and Astrid leaves. I get up and head to the Great Hall. Leah is waiting right outside the door. "Finally! Come on!" she exclaims. She leads me outside to the lake, where a girl with long silvery-blond hair is waiting. "Hi."the girl says. I sit down and ask "What's your name?" "Elena Malfoy." she says. I turn to Leah. "Is that all?" I ask. "No! Have you heard the name before?" Leah says. I search in my brain for a memory of Elena. Then I remember. I think back to it until I feel like I'm there: Two little girls were playing in a room in a mansion. "Come and catch me, Eleanor!" said one of the girls. The other girl lunged for the one who had spoken. "Tag! You're it, Elena!" young Eleanor said. After a bit longer,the girls flopped onto the bed. "Elena?" young Eleanor asks. "Yeah, Ellie?" replied young Elena. "Let's go outside." young Eleanor said. They walked outside and started playing. "Hey, Ellie? Do you wanna do something fun?" asked young Elena. "Yeah!" exclaimed young Eleanor. Young Elena started rolling down a hill in the yard. Young Eleanor giggled and did the same. After 30 minutes, they were about to start rolling again when younger Narcissa Malfoy came outside. One look at Elena was all it took. She grabbed young Eleanor and took her to a room, where she shouted at her. "You are never coming back here, and you are never seeing Elena again. You are going home right now." Narcissa said. A tear slid down young Eleanor's cheek. She nodded. I feel a tear sliding down my cheek. I quickly wiped it. Elena must've known what I was thinking of, because she also had a tear rolling down her cheek. The hours passed and soon, I was walking back from the feast. But then I hear a shout. I run to the voice and find Filch, Professor Snape, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Lockhart, Professor McGonagall, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "My cat! My beautiful cat!" sobs Filch.
