Phoebe walked outside to the lake. It was a nice weekend morning which meant no classes. Phoebe sat down on a rock and sighed to herself as she gazed into the lake. She began thinking about her brother.
'"Tim! Tim! Guess what?" Phoebe said as she burst into Timothy's room too find that he was fast asleep. It was Christmas morning and Phoebe was 8. She wanted to show her brother his new broom that their parents bought him. It was the best one of that time though Phoebe forgot the name of it.
"Wake up!" Phoebe said as she jumped up and down on the side of her brothers bed. She sighed in frustration and climbed on top of the bed and began jumping on it yelling, "Wake up, wake up!"
Tim rolled over and groaned with his face to Phoebe and Phoebe stoped jumping and pinched her brother's cheeks. Tim awoke with a jerk and began tickling Phoebe.'
Phoebe laughed silently at her memory as a tear rolled down her cheek. She sighed deeply and picked up a rock and threw it in the lake.
"Oh Tim, I miss you so much." Phoebe said aloud as she watched the ripples that the rock made.

Katie was just walking down the path on Sunday she wonted to see a god view of the lake. When she reached the end of the path towards the lake she saw Phoebe she remember her from the library she seemed very depressed and saw the tear go down her check. Katie felt a little sorry because she might miss someone at home as much as she did. Katie walked over towards Phoebe and sat down on the rock next to her. She to grab a rock and skipped it across the lake. "What’s wrong" Katie asked taking and rock for Phoebe.

Phoebe jumped as Katie walked over and glared at the lake.
'You idiot. You are becoming soft. You just let a little Gryffindor see you cry.' A nasty voice in Phoebe's head said. Phoebe ignored it and sighed.
"Nothing." She lied. She couldn't really tell her what was wrong. She wouldn't understand, after all.
'Plus, a Slytherin NEVER goes to a Gryffindor for help.' The voice in Phoebe's head said again. Phoebe ignored it once more. She needed to find a way to get those voices out of her head. She put her head in her hands feeling a mixture of anger and confusion.

Katie than looked at Phoebe she looked like she was fighting back something. Katie than picked up another rock and handed it to Phoebe.
"Its okay I wont tell anyone you cried in front of me I know what its like to miss someone terribley. I had to leave my dad back at home, alone. My mom died when I was born, I barley knew her." Katie said searching for any memories.
She than looked out onto the lake and absorbed it beauty it made her a little happy. Katie than looked at Phoebe she was hiding back something or words she wonted to say to her.

Phoebe nodded. It seemed as if the younger girl was reading her mind. After all, her father would kill her, well not literally but close to it, if he knew she was asociating with muggle borns, half bloods, and Gryffindors.
"At least you have someone," Phoebe said more harshly than she had meant to so she quickly added, "It's always good to have someone."
She could imagine her father screaming at her for not being "loyal" to the Slytherin name like she used to.
'It's none of your business who my friends are!' Phoebe would yell her face turning pink with anger.
'You are my daughter and i WILL NOT allow it!' Her father would say.
'You are a HORRIBLE FATHER! How DARE you lie to me and say that purebloods are better! You evil, cocky git! I hate you!' Phoebe would tell back.
'You take that back, young lady! You are acting rebelious like your brother! Just don't hope this 'rebelion doesn't end in YOUR DEATH!' He would yell back.
'Don't you DARE speak of Timothy that way! He was only doing what was RIGHT! That is NOT rebellion! It is called having a conscience; a HEART something you DON"T have!' Phoebe would yell then she'd run upstairs to her room with tears of anger forming in her eyes.
"It's good to have someone who believes in you... who trusts you." Phoebe said another tears coming down her face.

Katie could feel her pain and she was lucky. She wiped Phoebe tears away. "Sorry I made you upset but there one thing you can do to forget about it" Katie said looking at her with concern. Katie father would always tell her she was much too old and wise for her age.
"Close your eyes….think of something beautiful that doesn’t bring back pain and misery" Katie said in calm words as Phoebe closed her eyes. "Think of it all the time when it comes in your mind the happy beautiful things" Katie said closing her own eyes and seeing the lake in her mind.

Phoebe sighed and closed her eyes and followed the instructions. She was surprised she did them.
What she said to do didn't really help much but Phoebe decided to humor the girl. She opened her eyes looked at the girl.
"Thanks. Where did you learn that from? Maybe one day it'll work for me. When I'm not so confused." Phoebe said.

"I always think of it during snapes class" Katie said laughing.
"He really like you guys he is always taking points from us" Katie said remembering when she didn’t cut her chives up right.
"But it will work sooner or later but what’s making you so confused I promise I wont tell anyone" Katie said putting her arm up by her heart.

Phoebe smiled.
"Snape is nice to us because he knows that...." Her voice trailed off. She didn't want to say what she was going to say. It would have been too mean.
"We are his house. That's all." She finished quickly.
Phoebe looked at the Gryffindor contemplating if she should tell her or not. Phoebe, like other Slytherins, never told any one their feelings, expecially Gryffindors. It would be so out of character and she didn't think she was ready for that yet. She had only told one person, Sapphire Phoenix, the truth and she only did that because she had let somethign really nasty slip out of her mouth.
"I don't think... father... I just..." She said trying to find the right words but decided to just change the subject.
"Do you play quiditch?" She asked her.

Katie could since her uneasiness it wasn’t in Slytherins nature to be nice but Phoebe was doing a nice job of being nice.
"No not yet Madam Hooch hasn’t made a class yet for first years but it seems exciting" Katie said smiling. She read tons of books she can get her hands on about Hogwarts, spells, charms, potions, and Quidditch.
"I wonder about her father" Katie said she knows it isn’t her business and will not tell anyone but she had that curiosity stuck in her head.

Phoebe smiled a little. She looked at the girl as she replied. She seemed to want to play Quidditch an awful lot.
"Your time will come. I'm sure it will. And when it does... I'll be there to cheer you on." Phoebe said with a reassuring smile.
Then Katie mentioned something about Phoebe's father.
"Father" Phoebe breathed silently. She looked at Katie.
"Why do you wonder about him?" She asked her. She wondered if the girl had actually meant to say that aloud... nonetheless the girl had and it was too late to take it back.

"Yes my time will come but I will have to wait" Katie said staring up at the sky.
She looked at the stars and their formation. She than looked down when Phoebe said something about her father.
"There most be something wrong between how can I say this... relationship with you guys” Katie said looking at Phoebe.
Katie pulled back her long brown hair into a pony tail wondering if Phoebe will tell her anything. She was very good at keeping secrets and will never tell anyone even if they are her best friend.

Phoebe almost glared at the girl but stopped herself in mid glare. She looked up t the sky and sighed. She might as well tell her... a little bit of it.
"Well.. my father and I have a... rocky... relationship ever since..." She started to say but stopped herself and continued to look at the sky. She blinked back her tears. She hadn't said his name in a long time. Only once to Sapphire, but no one else. She sighed deeply and continued to look out into the sky.
"We... don't get along as much anymore. I'm not Daddy's little girl anymore." Phoebe finished quietly.

Katie than felt a little sorry for Phoebe she had a great relationship between her and her father.
"Oh what happen if you mind telling me" Katie asked looking at Phoebe.
Katie never thought of time she forgot her father or her mother. Her mom died a month ago and her and her father became best friends but Katie always missed her mom.
TEXT "Mom I wont to learn to play the instrument you play mom" Katie said when she was 3. "Honey I promise I will teach you when you are one year older" her mom will say to her picking her up and sing the lulaby that always put her to sleep.
Katie started having strong tears swell up in her eyes. She held them back through. She looked at Phoebe with her twincling eyes.
"There’s one thing that no one knows about me...." Katie said struggling to say it.
"Well I am rich but no one expect it because I wasn’t snobby like other people I know" Katie said looking down at the ground. She knew Phoebe wouldn’t care but mostly Gryffindor didn’t have much money.

Phoebe sighed deeply.
"I used to be a stuck up snobby Slytherin. I'm rich and all but..."
Her thoughts went to her brother again. Her breathes became quick and painful.
"Tim..." She said a tear dropping. "I miss him so much... I remember..."
Phoebe voice started to choke. Her lungs swelled up and before she could stop herself she was crying.

Katie let go of the tears that she was bravely holding up.
She than gave Phoebe a hug and some encauging words.
"It’s okay Phoebe....." Katie would say to her patting her back.
"Her bother must be back at home or dead" Katie thought still patting Phoebes back.
"Is your bother dead or still alive" Katie asked as phoebe was still crying.
Katie had to know if he was to say something that would make her feel better...

PHoebe sighed and cried harder. Dead.
"He's dead! Long gone! Never gonna come back!" Phoebe yelled as she sobbed. She felt Katie pat her back but she didn't feel it.

Katie could feel even more tears go down her checks and she was really sorry for Phoebe.
"Its okay Phoebe its okay I know what’s it like to lose someone I just lost my mom a month ago but I know she somewhere happy and watching over me" Katie said looking up at the starry sky.
The wind blew her hair in one direction and she closed her eyes holding back the tears. She could see her mothers face talking to her. There was a white light behind her as if she were in heaven. Katie than open her eyes at look at Phoebe with concern.
She than gave Phoebe a hug letting her cry on her shoulder.

Phoebe nodded and attepted to compose herself. She looked up at the starry sky as well.
"Do you believe that there is a such thing as heaven?" Phoebe asked Katie.

"Of course I do because she did great things so did your Brother Phoebe....." Katie said also looking up in the starry sky.
"....If you believe he did...” Katie said. Their was a slight silence between them.
