Hermione was walking down Diagon Alley, looking at the windows of the many stores. She looked away as she passed Weasley Wizard Wheezes. She didn't want to talk to any of the Weasley's right now. She thought it was in her best interest at the moment. She didn't want to be pestered about the whole dinner party that she would be attending with Viktor of course for Harry and Ron's return. The only reason why she was going in the first place was that Harry was her best friend and he was returning after 4 years. She knew that Ginny was excited and hoped that they would get married soon.
She seemed to just stroll into Madam Malkin's without realizing it. Well, she might as well buy robes while she was here. She waited for Madam Malkin to get done with her other customer so she could be fitted. While she waited, she walked around the store, looking at all the robes and dresses. Maybe she should get something nice for the dinner party. She should ask if it was going to be formal or something. She didn't think it would be but a new dress in her closet might look good.
She heard a bell, signaling that someone else had entered the store. She turned to see who it was and if she recongized the newcomer. She hoped that it was someone she knew. Someone that she could talk to while she waited. It would be nice to see friends again. Or maybe an old enemy.

Aureila wanted to get away from the manor and the dark lord. Her eyes showed a hint of sadness. She was remembering the way she had found her parents. Both were laying lifeless in the bedroom...and Aureila herself was five. Aureila rolled her eyes and changed her hair to blonde with ice blue streaks. She admired herself in a mirror. She love having ice blue streaks. They go so well on her. She loved the fact that she was a metamorphagus. She noticed the robe shop and decided to get some new robes. Maybe even a few dresses as well. Aureila walked in and noticed Hermione Granger. Both of them had gotten along well. "Hey Hermione." she said warmly, changing back to her normal self.

Hermione instantly recognized the girl. It was Aurelia Riddle, a metamorphagus that she had made friends with while she was Hogwarts. She was quite friendly and they had gotten along well. She had never taken a thought of her last name nor had her two best friends, Harry and Ron. She missed those two dearly and couldn't wait til they got home. Well she couldn't wait til Harry came home since she didn't want to talk to Ron.
"Hey Aurelia," she smiled, putting back a black dress. She thought it was just too plain. "How have you been doing?" It had been a long time that she had actually talked to this girl. Hermione had left Hogwarts 3 years ago after graduating. She had lead her own life and hadn't seen the girl since.

"I've been doing good," Aureila replied cheerfully. Her eyes are now a bright cheerfull dark blue. "Been living my life the way i want to," she tossed her now golden blonde hair back and laughed. "How have you been holding up? And how is Harry and Ron?" Aureila didn't usually follow the rules Tom had set up for her. Her eyes went to the window and she froze. She blinked again. No way..they were suppose to be dead. She shook slightly. Aureila had seen her parents alive for the first time in years...

Hermione nodded, smiling. She was glad to see that her friend was happy. It had been a long time, too long actually since she last spoke with Aureila. She was glad that Aureila was living her life the way she wanted. Hermione had practically everything she wanted in hers. But it was worth nothing to her if she couldn't have him. Him who was the reason for all her sorrows. But she didn't wish to recount the details.
She tensed when Aureila asked her how she was doing. She really didn't want to answer that question. She was about to say something about her work and not talk about Harry and Ron. She didn't want them as the topic of discussion for that would soon lead to talks about Ron. They had been together during their make-up year at Hogwarts. It was a one-year relationship that didn't last and ended soon after they graduated. It devestated Hermione and she had locked herself in her flat for weeks. She finally got out when she realized that she needed to go back to work sometime and she just needed to move on.
Then Luna came and saved the day. Well she didn't know it but Hermione was glad that Luna had shown up. "Hey Luna," Hermione said cheefully. "I hope you have been doing well?" Anything to get the topic of how she was doing off of her.

Aureila had jerked herself out of her thoughts when Luna Lovegood came over. She attempted a cheerful smile. Her eyes were still staring out the window. With an effort she pulled them away. "Hello Luna," she attempted to act the cheerfull Aureila they knew. But it was clear she wasn't. Not right now at least. The door opened again and her parents walked in. Aureila gasped shakily and ducked out of site. Gwen and Aaron Riddle had walked past them, talking and laughing. She appeared when they had gone to the next room. This time there were tears in her eyes.

"Oh I am good. How about you?" asked Luna to Hermione. "Hello Aureila!" Luna said. She could tell there wasnt something right with her. She didnt want to be nosy and ask so she let it slide. Luna saw Aureila duck from others passing. She had a confused look on her face. She immediatley went to Aureilas side when she teared up. "Whats wrong Aureila" said Luna.

Hermione was glad to see that Luna was doing okay. But then she asked that question she had so quickly avoided with Aureila. She was a bit confused when suddenly she ducked down though. What was wrong with her? But this attention focus was drawn on Aureila and everyone would soon forget about how she was doing. She didn't wish to tell anyone how she was really doing. She would just end up lying and tell everyone she was doing good. It was a complete lie of course for she was still broken up inside.
She quickly joined Luna at Aureila's side. She gave her friend a concerned look, wondering why she was tearing up. Something bad must have happened since she said she was fine. It looks like she wasn't the only one who was broken up inside. Hermione hoped that this wasn't over a guy though for she would hate to see her friend hurt because of some git. That was what Ron was. Hermione was broken up because of some red-haired git. How could she ever forget him?
She looked over to Luna, hoping that her friend was alright and curious as to why she was almost to tears. Something must be really bothering her where she would start crying. She had always thought of Aureila as a strong person and was surprised she was breaking down like this in front of everyone. "Yeah what's wrong?" asked Hermione, repeating Luna's questions. "You can tell us. We can help."

Aureila looked at them with crystal blue eyes this time. "My parents...they're supposed to be dead. Why are they here now? I had found them when I was five. Lifeless..." Aureila stopped and blinked refusing to cry. That was one of her weak points. She rarely crys at all. She told them of how it looked like they were sleeping to her. How Voldemort had took her in..taught her everything he knew...

Luna was confused at what Aureila had. She was wondering the same question as Aureila but didnt dare ask any questions. She knew Aureila had a connection with Voldemort but didnt know if he had something to do with this. He hasnt been in control for years. Luna said the first thing that said to her mind which wasnt all that bright. "Are you sure it was them?" asked luna.

Hermione looked at Luna. She was sure that Aureila wouldn't be lying about this. She looked really upset. "I'm sure that was them, Luna," Hermione stated, sounding a bit annoyed. Could Luna have been a little more help? It didnt' seem like it. Hermione gave her friend a concerned look, ready to help. She didn't like seeing her friends upset and she hated to see them cry. Hermione already had an idea that she was in league with Voldemort. They still had been friends even though of their differences. She wasn't like Malfoy who had immediately made himself their enemy because Harry turned him down for friendship.
"I'm sure there is a perfect reasonable explanation for it," Hermione assured Aureila. She couldn't think of one right now. But she was here to comfort her friend. She hoped that somehow she could make her feel better. "Maybe they weren't dead in the first place," she offered. She knew that wouldn't settle well since Aueila could describe them being dead. She couldn't think of any other way of why they would be alive though. It was just impossible to rise from dead. "It's going to be alright."

Aureila eyed them. "Of course I knew it was them. I knew they were dead. I saw them myself. They had been killed with the killing curse." she stiffened as her eyes changed to violet. They always did when she get angry. She felt the wind shifted. Calm down Reila, she told herself firmly. Cam down. Aureila glanced at the robes until she calmed down. She looked at the two girls.

Luna felt bad for Aureila. That would be really confusing for her as well. She noticed the shade of Aureilas eyes change and also her mood changed. Luna wanted to help her but she didnt know how. She didnt know Aureila all that well and hoped Hermione could help her.

Hermione could see that Aureila was getting angry. She understood where this anger was coming from. Her parents were supposedly dead and now there they were still alive. What had they been doing for the past years without Aureila? It was like they had abandoned her and she felt sorry for Aureila. She knew that her friend needed comfort now more than ever instead of trying to solve some mystery at the moment. She would talk to Harry about this and maybe they could get a case on it. Hermione wanted to help though even though she wasn't part of the department.
"It's going to be alright, Aureila," Hermione assured her, trying to soothe her friend. They're was really no possibley way to comfort your friend for she had to be careful on what she said. She didn't want to hurt her in anyways or anger her. "I'm sure Harry could find out what's going on," Hermione offered.
