Melisende sat on the roof, her feet dangling off the end. Even the stars wrapped in heavy silence couldn't bring her any calm.

It has been ages since she came here. Her mind wandered to all things she had suffered. What did she do to deserve this all? She wasn't a bad person, she wasn't like her parents then why would everyone judge her quickly?  Why would her parents not love her? Where did she go wrong? Why was life such a bitch?

She signed loudly. How was she supposed to be a death eater? The dark lord does not know her. And even if she becomes a death eater, how will she hide that she was against this, that she is friends with muggles? One word and the Dark Lord will know, he wouldn't bat an eyelash to kill her.

And if she refuses, she would be cast as a blood- traiter. She would be disowned. And what guarantee was there that Voldemort wouldn't send any of his people to kill her?

She was officially doomed!

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't heard the footsteps approaching her.
"Melisende?", the person asked.

She literally jumped a few feet in the air. Her head whipped to her side to see the owner of the voice.

"James.....  What are you doing here?", she asked confused really not expecting to find anyone.

"Hanging out with an old friend", he said with a shrug as he sat beside her.

Melisende signed loudly for the second time. She have had a long day, she definitely wasn't looking for an argument.

"What do you want potter, i am in no mood to banter with you", she replied a bit rudely.

"I am just trying to be friends with you!"

"And why so sudden.... Last time i checked you grabbed every opportunity to fight with me, to prank me or just trouble me? Is this some game you are playing? Because i am fucking not interested", she hissed.

"Hey calm down, i am not here to argue", he said softly.

"Then why are you here?"

"I want to amend our friendship, i want you to give me a second chance".

"Well, i haven't got enough time so Bye-bye", she said with a sneer as she got up. She wanted to be alone and James sudden change in behaviour was not helping. There was enough drama in her life, she didn't want more.

But before she could go he had caught her wrist, tugging her down.

She sent him a annoyed look.

"What happened to your cheek?", he whispered as he softly grabbed her face to look at the bruise.

His thumb trailed down her cheek, his insides suddenly burning with anger. The mark clearly showed that she was slapped, with much greater force. He breathed heavily.

"Who slapped you?", he asked barely able to hide the anger.

"None of your business"

"Just tell me will you?"

"Again NO"

"Why are you pushing me away?", he yelled running a hand through his hair.

"Well you are a gryffindor, i am a slytherin, what do you expect?", she said narrowing her eyes as she pushed away his hand from her cheek.

"Okay i know i have troubled you a lot but we were friends right?", he whispered lowly, his head angled towards the bright moon. He couldn't look in her eyes anymore.

He was trying but he felt as if nothing was working.

"You were the one to end it not me, are you sure you aren't oblivated? You are behaving out of character from a few weeks", she asked sarcasm dripping from every word.

"I am fine", James snapped. He was losing her again. But how was he supposed to tell her? And will she believe him? How was he supposed to take the first step? He shouldn't have pranked her all this years. He shouldn't have treated her like a snake.

But then he remembered something.

"You are a legilimens right?", he asked.

Melisende's breathing hitched. What is with everyone knowing her secrets huh? This is really getting out of hand she thought.

"How do you know?", she asked eyeing him suspiciously.

"I heard Mcgonagall and Dumbeldore talking about it. I didn't want to eavesdrop, actually i was hiding from the care taker".

"And why are you asking me then?"

"I want you to use it on me. I have to show you something"

"But what if i am not interested?"

"Just listen to me please, its really important"

"Fine", she agreed though clearly not convinced of his motive.

She pulled out her wand from her robes. "I am warning you Potter, if it turns out to be something silly it won't end good for you".

He nodded weakly. This was it, she was going to see everything.

"Just think about that memory you want to show me, it would be easier for both of us", she said as she readied herself.

Her heart was thundering in her chest, her mind thinking of all the possibilities which could take place. But before she chickened out, she whispered the spell.

In a whoosh she was inside in his mind. She looked at her surroundings to find herself in James dormitory. She noticed James talking with his fellow friends talking how exciting sorting was.

So it is about the night after sorting she thought.

"Hey James, your friend that girl, she's sorted in slytherin right?", a young Sirius Black asked suddenly.

James nodded. "Well, i am not surprised. We both knew from the start".

"So she is still your best friend?", Petter Pettegriew asked.

"Ofcourse, i have known her all my life. I wouldn't think of ditching her", he replied back glaring at Peter.

"Uhh... James is that your owl?", Remus Lupin asked suddenly from where he was sitting, just beside the window.

"Oh yess!!! Didn't expected a letter so soon though", he said as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

But as soon as he saw the letter, his face paled. Never in his life had he expected a howler on the first day of school!

"Woah mate! What did you do?", Sirius asked.

James sent him a look, totally saying 'I have no idea'.

"Well, i suggest you open it soon then, don't want it getting more angry do you?", Remus commented.

James grabbed the howler tensely. His hand moved slowly to open the stamp. As soon as it opened there was a loud shriek.......
