Roaming....

"Eh. Can't complain." she said as she took a seat down on the floor.
"Phoenix says he can't let me go over to New York for Christmas, and, in all honesty, it made me mad." she admitted, looking down and picking at the skin on her fingers. She had that horrible habit, and she didn't know how to make it stop.
One of these days, they're going to bleed badly, she thought.

"Eh. Can't complain." she said as she took a seat down on the floor."Phoenix says he can't let me go over to New York for Christmas, and, in all honesty, it made me mad." She began picking at her fingers.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ella replied with a kind look in her eyes. "Maybe you can have fun here?" Ella said hopeful.

"Lucy. Stop doing that. You're gonna hurt yourself." Wade said to his cousin, who picked at the skin on the edge of her slim fingers.
"Besides, if Phoenix won't let you go to New York, that means you can spend your first Christmas over at the new home. He told me you didn't really like it, so maybe you just need to get to know it better, like you would with a person." he suggested, taking a seat next to her. "Like Ella says, maybe you can fun here instead."

Moogles, Ella's owl came by at that moment and dropped a letter on letter that had the word Urgent[/u]written on the front. She quickly opened it and tears brimmed her eyes. She could do nothing else but silently cry and stare at the sky. She was in complete disbelief.

"Ella, what's wrong?" Wade asked as he noticed her eyes tearing up. Had the owl brought bad news?
"Ella, talk to me, what's wrong?" Standing up, he walked over to her, to comfort her.

"Ella, what's wrong?" Wade asked."Ella, talk to me, what's wrong?" Standing up, he walked over to her, to comfort her.

With shaky hands Ella handed the note over to Wade. It said:

Sissy,
I didn't know who else to write. It's Ellie. Daddy has been killed by the Killing Curse. I have no where to go. Once people find out I'll be sent away. I'm 11 now Ella, can I come with you? Please Ella...I need you! I can't be separated from the only family I have left! Please, Ella!! Please help! I love you!
Ellie

"How? How could this happen? Who-who would do such a thing?" Ella was in disbelief. She refused to believe it.

After reading the letter, with Lucy reading over his shoulder, he looked at Ella.
"I'm sorry Ella." was all he could say.
"How? How could this happen? Who-who would do such a thing?" she yelled, disbelief clear in her eyes.
Wade walked over and hugged her tightly. He didn't know what to do, he was usually very useful in these type of situations, but today, it was different. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that could take away the pain of losing a parent, and he knew this because of Lucy. He had been there to comfort her when her mother died. This time, though, he didn't know how to help Ella, he didn't know her that well to know what worked and what didn't, so all he could do was wrap his arms around her, and tell her that Ellie was going to be okay.

"I'm sorry Ella." was all he could say. At those words she began crying. He came over and wrapped his arms around her.He told her that Ellie was going to be okay.
Ella just stayed like that, crying. She didn't know what else to do, she couldn't say anything, all she could do was think. Think back to all the good times they had. Think back to how he was their everything, their support, their parent, their ONLY parent and now he was gone. What would happen to Ellie? Would the headmaster allow her to come to Hogwarts during the school year?

"D-do you think the headmaster will allow her to come to school since it's late in the year?" Ella asked between sobs.

Ella handed the letter to Wade, and Lucy walked over to him to read it.
No, that can't be. Lucy thought, bringing her hands up to her head in disbelief.
She saw Wade walk over to Ella and give her a comforting hug. Lucy stood there, not knowing what to say to her. Yes, she had lost her mother, but this was someone else, and someone else's feelings were different than hers. In an attempt to make Ella sure that everything would be okay, she walked over and joined the hug, feeling Wade's arms behind her back, and Ella in between them two. It was a group hug, and Lucy was surprisingly okay with that.
"D-do you think the headmaster will allow her to come to school since it's late in the year?" Ella asked, sobbing.
"I don't know, but maybe if we talk to a professor first, they can help bring Ellie here." Lucy said.

Lucy came and joined the hug."I don't know, but maybe if we talk to a professor first, they can help bring Ellie here." Lucy said.

"Which professor should I talk to?" Ella asked no one in particular. This is going to change her forever, she'll never be the same. All she could think about was Ellie.

Wade broke away from the hug, leaving only Lucy, who now held Ella's hand.
"Yeah, maybe if we talk to one of them they can be of more help and support." he began. "If we do it alone, then Gray may think that things are getting worse out there Ella. We have to think this through. I know you want Ellie here, but if we make reckless choices then she may not even have a chance. We have to ask someone to help us." he suggested.

"Which professor should I talk to?" she asked them.

"Well, I honestly think Wayne is out of the question. But, I know Professor Vega is a very kind woman. She's very nice and I know for a fact that she would try her best to bring her here. We should talk to her. And don't think I'm gonna let you go alone. This is risky. We will all go talk to her. Now, if she's available." he said.

Wade broke away from the hug, leaving only Lucy, who now held Ella's hand.
"Yeah, maybe if we talk to one of them they can be of more help and support." he began. "If we do it alone, then Gray may think that things are getting worse out there Ella.

Ella looked up at Wade and Lucy. "Thanks for helping guys. I really appreciate it." She struggled to keep from breaking down.

With Wade breaking away from the hug, Lucy was left to comfort Ella.
"Yeah, maybe if we talk to one of them they can be of more help and support." he began. "If we do it alone, then Gray may think that things are getting worse out there Ella. We have to think this through. I know you want Ellie here, but if we make reckless choices then she may not even have a chance. We have to ask someone to help us." he suggested. Lucy nodded in agreement, after all, he was right. Things out there were bad, it was a fact.
"Which professor should I talk to?" Ella asked them.
"Well, I honestly think Wayne is out of the question. But, I know Professor Vega is a very kind woman. She's very nice and I know for a fact that she would try her best to bring her here.

Ella looked up at them. "Thanks for helping guys. I really appreciate it."
"Don't worry about it Ella. Come, we'll take you down there right now." she said, putting her small arm around her shoulders, and following Wade's lead.

OOC: Do you guys just want to continue the thread at Selene's office? I can start it.

Ella silently allowed Lucy to lead her as they followed Wade.

OOC: Yeah, that's fine.
