*12 Grimmauld Place*
"Harry, Ron wake up!" Hermione hissed at the two sleeping figures. "What do you want Hermione?"asked Harry with raspy voice. "I found her. I found who E. L. L. is."
This worked. Both of them get up so quickly that they nearly tripped over each other.
"You what?" asked Ron from the ground. "I found her. So if you can stand up and go with me, it would be perfect."
"Why are we looking at that tapestry?" Harry raised his eyebrow and looked at Hermione.
"I know it sounds crazy but I had a dream. She was in my dream and she begged me to find her here. On that tapestry. And I found her here." she walked toward one black holes and pointed at it.
"That's her."
When trio walked into the kitchen, they found Mrs. Weasley and her youngest child eating their breakfast.
"Oh good morning sweethearts. Are you hungry?" they exchanged looks and Mrs. Weasley noticed it. "What's wrong?"they sat down and Hermione started.
"Mrs. Weasley, can we ask you something?"she sigh.
"Of course deary. What you have on you mind?" Mrs. Weasley smiled at her and sat opposite her.
Hermione took a while but then she started. "So, yesterday I found a photography of Sirius and Harry's father. But there was also a woman. Then I found a message addressed to Sirius and with initials E.L.L." she continued not noticing that Mrs. Weasley's expression was slowly changing. "I was thinking about it all day and then it happened."she run a hand through her hair.
"She was in my dream. It was like she was sending me a message in my dream. She told me to look at the Black's family tree and then she begged me to promise her that I'll find her. So I woke up and went to the room with a tapestry. And then I found a black hole connected with Rodolphus with the same line like Sirius and Regulus and the name under it said Elena Lilian Lestrange."she looked up and was met with Mrs.Weasley's mixed expression. It was a mixture of sadness and shock.
"You know her." Harry breath out. Ron and Ginny looked at their mother confused.
Mrs.Weasley hesitated a while but then nodded.
"But she's a Lestrange! How could she be friend with Sirius and Harry's father?"confusion was writen all over Hermione's face. Mrs.Weasley sighed.
"She... Elena was different than her family. When she was sorted into Gryffindor, they disowned her. She was a part of the Order and one of my closest friends." Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Was?"
"Yes. That night when your parents were killed Harry, Death Eaters went to her house too. When we arrived at the place, only ash and burned wrecks left. We found two bodies, but only Death Eaters."
"Elena was gone. We don't know what happened to her."she sigh her eyes full of sadness but then she smiled slightly.
"You know, if she was still here you three would have a perfect relationship."she added looking at Hermione and Ginny.
"What?"
Mrs. Weasley looked at them still with small smile. "She was really smart. Something like mix of you Hermione and Ginny, trapped between her bookworm side and her prankster side."
"Everybody in Hogwarts knew her like a perfect seeker and prankter that could pissed off all teachers. I thought the same about her but then..."she sigh and took a deep breath.
"One time I spent the Christmas holiday with Potters. I mean James's father, mother, James and Elena who was living with them. They were just in the middle of their fourth year and already well-known everywhere."she chuckled a little.
"I didn't know what to think about ' The Lestrange girl' but one time I woke up in the middle of the night and went to do myself a tea. I went across the living room and I saw her. She sat in an old armchair near fireplace with glasses and a new book that James gave her that morning. It was really big book, it had around thousand pages but that wasn't the most surprising thing."
* Flashback *
Elena sat there, wrapped up in blanket, with book on her lap opened in the middle and with the most thoughtful and concentrated expression Molly has ever seen, on her face. Her eyes were flying across the page like lightning.
'Elena?'she spoke quietly. Nothing. Elena was still reading.
'Elena?' Molly raised her voice. Still nothing.
'Elena!' but Elena was still reading.
'Why are you... oh. If you're trying to talk to her, it won't work. She's in 'Wormy mode'. 'chuckled sleepy James after her.
Molly turned toward him confused. 'Wormy mode?'
'Yep. Or read obsession, or booky fanatic. We already got used to it. Everytime she gets a new book or have to read something for the class, she closes herself in this mode until she finishs reading. Sometimes it's quiet boring but we are doing bets on her time. The longest is three days, I think. Three days without food and sleep. Just in this possition, reading.' Moly was speechless.
'Really?'
'Yes. She's worse bookworm than Remus.'
* End of the flashback *
"Wow. And I thought that Hermione is the worst bookworm." Ron whistled but Ginny nudged him with an elbow. "And after that...you two became friend?" Hermione continued in conversation. "Somehow...yes. I got know her more and found out that there was a sweet girl under a badass cover. We were a very good friends since then. And this made me decided to made her...."she paused.
"To made her your godmother Ginny." Ginny's jaw fell and her body froze on the spot. "She complitely adored you and always made you laugh. She knew all my children. Bill, Charlie, Fred and George even called her aunt El. But you were the one she loved the most." Mrs. Weasley sighed.
Suddenly there was a knock at the front door. "Ginny can you get it?" she asked her youngest child. Ginny nodded and went there. They heard somebody talking.
"Mom, somebody is asking for you."she heard Ginny called her. Her eyebrow raised in curious but went there. She stopped in doorway. In the moment when she saw who's standing there, her blood turn cold.
' It can't be... '
