Hehe I have returned... mostly
Now I will say that it may be a large gap between chapters in the future, as the school year is rounding up and also I will want a break from brain thinking... Also I just don't find writing as exciting anymore... Very sorry.
However, I do intend to finish this book one day, but you just may want to strap yourselves in for the long run.
I've looked over some of your comments from my previous update about writers block and they were very helpful, so thank you to everyone who did that. Also I just love reading your comments in general.
ALSO OVER 50K READS IS ABSOLUTLY INSANE WOAH! Can't thank you lot enough. Big love from me to you. <3
Cause the last couple chapters have been a bit darker, I hope this one is a bit more fun :)

Y/n abruptly stood, turned, and walked out of the headmasters office. After closing the door, Sirius sunk into the nearest chair placing his head in his hands, defeated. Remus attempted to place his hand on his husbands back in comfort, but Sirius just shrugged it off.
"Everything's going to be different now." Sirius said in a hoarse whisper.
"She's still, and will always be, your daughter." Dumbledore spoke from where he now sat behind his desk.
"But she might not think that anymore."
"Of course she will, don't be absurd. It may take time for her to adjust, but she will get there."
"I don't know if I can look at the betrayal in her eyes knowing I was the one to cause it."
"You did not act alone in this Sirius. You cannot blame yourself. We all had a part in making these decisions. In hindsight, perhaps it was wrong to hide it from her, but she was not even one year old then. Of course all you have ever wanted is what's best for her. She knows that."
"I hope your right Albus."

Opening the door to leave the headmasters Office, Y/n nearly ran straight into Fred and George who were standing looking at her in shock.
"I assume you heard all of that." She said, pushing past them to make her way down the spiral staircase.
"Um, well-"
"Yeah."
"Thoughts?"
"Uh, not yay?..."
Having made it to the corridor, Y/n turned with her hands on her hips to look at Fred disapprovingly. "You've always had a way with words."
"Well sorry, what do you expect me to say?" It came out as more than a statement than a question.
Y/n sighed, rubbing her temple which was pulsing. "I don't know."
The three paused for a moment before George spoke up. "You know, I don't think of you any differently."
"Yeah same." Fred piped up.
"Thanks guys. That means a lot to me."
They resumed walking down the corridor. "Listen, lets not talk about this too much okay? Lets just leave it on the backburner for now. We'll come back to it at some point at some point I promise, but lets just focus on normal things."
"Sounds good to me."

The next few weeks were odd.
One thing that changed was Malfoy, or least the way she looked at him. Whenever she saw him in the yard, she felt this pang in her chest. She assumed it was because she now knew he could have been her little brother. It could also have been about the hatred his father had shown towards her. Or maybe the kindness his mother had done. Or maybe just the fact that whatever had happened to her had taken place at his home.
The other thing was the caution most of her professors now showed around her. McGonagall was best at hiding it. But those like Flitwick and Snape were less so. She never presumed that anyone had told the staff and large, but Dumbledore must have told them something.
She knew Fred and George were trying to hide their worries from her, which she appreciated, but they couldn't hide the anxious glances they shot at her or each other when they thought she wasn't looking.
The three sat in the boys dorm, George on his own bed, Y/n on Fred's and Fred on the floor, leaning against the side of his bed. The three where almost crying with laughter.
"No- no no listen. Then mum said she couldn't let him be- because." George could barely get the words out from laughing. "Because he'd shat the bed."
The three howled with laughter.
Just then, Lee Jordan walking through the door to find the three in their unfortunate state. "Let me guess, either its the story about Ron shitting the bed or Percy's incident with your dads flying car."
Wiping tears from her eyes, Y/n finally was able to speak. "Wait now I want to here about Percy and the *hiccup* and the car." She giggled.
"Maybe another time kiddo." Lee said smiling. "Time for bed. We have to be up early tomorrow so we don't miss the train."
"Alright mum." She laughed sarcastically. "See you lot tomorrow then."
After she left the room, Lee turned to the twins, arms on his hips. "Now you two. Off to bed now."
Cackling, all three boys got changed and into their respective beds.
Meanwhile in her own dorm, Y/n lay face up, staring at the canopy above her bed. Angelina and Katie were gossiping on the other side of the room but she paid them no mind. When she was with her friends, she was distracted from the whole Voldemort thing. When she was alone with her own thoughts, it was almost all she could think about.
She hadn't spoken to her parents since that evening, so arriving home tomorrow was going to be more of an ordeal than she would have liked.
Why Voldemort? Why her? After what she had been told, she assumed it must have been wrong place wrong time. But Malfoy Manor? Surely you couldn't just turn up and knock on the front door of that place. Perhaps she was overthinking.
She'd never been one to believe in destiny. And at the moment, she didn't really want to.

Ooooooooooh crazy times my friends. I know its not very long but this was just me trying to get my writing cap back on more than anything. Over the weekend I'm going to attempt to get the next chapter started, but I don't quite know how I'm going to approach it and all that.
IMPORTANT: WOULD PEOPLE BE UPSET IF I COMPLETELY SKIPPED THE NEXT YEAR? just because we would be moving into Harry's 3rd year which is all about Sirius escaping from Azkaban, and well, seeing as he never ended up there in the first place... PLease let me know. :) Also cause im v lazy and it would also get the story moving along more.
Anywho. Hope everyone is doing well, all things considered.
Also my messages are always open if anyone needs a chat or just wants to say hi.
Here's a picture of Cas being happy cause we're all sad and crying
:')
