Melisende hugged Levi tightly. Their exams had finished finally and were ready to board hogwarts express.

Everyone seemed to be excited to go home. Well except a pair of slytherins. Our dear Mel dreaded to go Rowle Mannor. She had stopped calling it home long ago as she never recieved anything but harsh treatments and loads of expectations.

Levi parker who still hadn't let her go wished that the both of them would just disappear from this world, and live their lives as they wished.

Levi was a half blood. His mom was a muggle while his dad was a wizard. And ofcourse like any typical scenarios his mom didn't knew about magic until he recieved his hogwarts letter.
To say that his mom was shocked is an understatement.
His father tried to mend things, but his mom was way beyond hurt. Sure she didn't send a divorce but she didn't act like the loving mother she was either. Their peacefull conversations would always turn into screaming matches. His father who was tired with the drama would spend his time outside rather than his home. And his mom would disappers god knows where.

So the whole point is Levi was brought up without any parental love. Thank god his father didn't forget about his education.

"Don't worry Mel, i'll try to visit as much as possible", he said rubbing her back.

"And how exactly are you gonna do that? We are still not 17, you know that right?", she asked back.

"Well you are not 17.....i am", he said smirking back.

"Damn...... i just forgot", she huffed loudly.

"Don't worry, you are gonna be 17 in 2 months.... We will be free then", he whispered back.

"Right let's get it over then", she said grabbing his hand and walking towards the train.

Finding a compartment was not hard as everyone had pretty much fixed friend circle.

Melisende's compartment consisted of Levi, Regulus, Narcissa and Rabastan, though Rabastan Lestrange was not a regular member.

Rabastan was the younger brother of Rudolphus Lestrange, who was one of the evilest of the lot. He considered himself superior and had almost joined the Dark Lord.

Rabastan was nothing like him but people considered him evil just like his brother. Rabastan had been a great friend to Mel. He would always help her cause he knew how it felt to be judged.

Just like any other group of friends, the five were gossiping trying to avoid the dark topics as much as possible. None of them was intrested in joining Voldermort, but they had no choice.

"Well, Mel there's a good news for you!", Regulus suddenly exclaimed.

"And what that might be?", she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well i talked to Walburga (his mother) about you, you know praise you and all and then suggested that we should invite you over. Usually my mother doesn't bother about it but since you are a pureblood she immediately jumped to the opportunity and even offered to write to your parents...", he said pausing a little and then continued.

"And I'm sure your father can't refuse a request from the nobel house of Blacks".

As soon as she heard it, Mel's face brooke into a huge grin as she leaned to hug her friend.

"You are a life saver Reg".

"Well, a little to desperate are we?", Narcissa asked.

"Anything to escape that hell hole", she said earning chuckles from everyone.

As soon as she stepped out of the train, she felt overwhelmed with the amount of crowd. She had bid goodbye to all her friends, and was searching for someone familiar.

She groaned loudly as she couldn't spot anyone. This always happened, they always forgot to pick her up. Not able to tolerate the crowd she moved towards the far corner.
But just her luck! As soon she she reached thier she saw none other than Mr and Mrs Potter fussing over James and Sirius.

Sirius had been disowned and the Potter's had gladly took him in. Though that was not much of shock as he spended more time at the Potters' than his own family. But unlike him, Regulus didn't have a choice, neither did she.

She stood at the farthest corner, trying not to draw any attention. But alas, James had already seen her.

He frowned seeing her stand alone, wondering where her parents were.

Euphemia Potter noticed her son's frown and followed his gaze only to find a Rowle. Her face scrunched up in disgust.

Just then a loud pop was heard grabbing everyone's attention. Missy, Melisnde's house elf had just apperated and without giving Mel any chance she grabbed her disappeared.

This even confused James.

His mother noticed the building interest and quickly caught him in conversations about how his year was. She didn't want him to engage with a Rowle. She knew how bad they were.

They bid farewell to Sirius who was going to join his cousin Andromeda this year, who had been caste out for marrying a muggle.

Everything seemed to pass normally, but no one had noticed Walburga Black who had been observing Melisende like a hawk.

Regulus who had noticed his mother's unusual behavior felt a chill run down his spine wondering if he had done right in mentioning Melisende to his mother. He didn't want to cause more problems for her.

He calmed himself down and repeatedly told himself that he was only helping her, as per she had requested.
The Grimmauld Place was everything but a good place to pass holidays. But Melisende had insisted that anything could be heaven compared to Rowle Mannor.

Regulus looked at his mother closely, and he swore he saw her smirk.

Little did he knew he had dug up his own grave.
