Forever And Always **Sequel to From Two Different Worlds**

Battle of Hogwarts Lecture

I looked at all the awestruck children, who were so intently listening. "Any questions?" The whole class had their hands raised in an instant and I smiled. "Toby, pick on someone to ask a question."

"Umm Athena Willow." Toby squeaked. A little blonde girl lowered her hand and asked her question.

"What happened to Ron and Hermione?"

"I believe they're married now.." I stated. I looked at Toby who pointed at Arabella.

"We're you married before you died?" She asked.

"Erm.. Yes, I was actually happily married and we had a son and daughter. .. Next question?"

"I have a sister? And she's alive? That's so cool!" Toby beamed. The classed giggled but I glared at him. "Err Madeline."

"What happened to your husband?" Madeline asked.

"I-I don't know. He doesn't know I exist, well at least I think he doesn't. " I answered honestly. The students were so intrigued to know about me and I happily answered their questions for the next half hour.

"Ok! Settle down, now we are going to play a little game, I will ask a question and you can answer it. If you answer it correctly then you will get five points to your houses. Ready?" The students squealed in delight and we began.

The bell chimed later and everyone happily made their way to lunch. "Professor Mason, may I have a word?" The voice of Arabella Weasley asked.

"Of course my dear, take a seat, I just need to get something from my office." She took a seat and I floated up to my office and through the door. I quickly did absolutely nothing in my office and returned to Arabella. "What is it you need dear?" I asked kindly.

"I just wanted to ask.. who your husband is." My face froze for a second but I quickly softened it.

"Umm.. that's a bit personal, don't you think." I said quickly.

"I'm sorry, I was just curious professor. I'll be going now." She said and scurried off.

"Mummy?" I turned around and Toby just orbed in. "Yes?"

"In your lecture, you said I had a sister. Who?" He asked. I swallowed and floated to him. I put my arms around him lovingly and he looked deep into my eyes.

"I can't tell you yet. But I will tell you that she goes to the school right now." He gasped and I nodded. "Now go run off and play with your friends, mum needs time to think." When he orbed out, I did too, except to McGonagall's office.

I was about to knock when I heard talking from the inside. "Thank you Mr. Weasley, you may go." I gasped and became transparent. I nearly died again when Fred Weasley opened the door and walked right through me. He shivered.

"Headmistress, I insist you invest in a heater, it is quiet chilly in your office." His silky voice sounded. She laughed and Fred continued down the stairs. I returned visible again and let out a frustrated cry.

"Madeline, I hadn't any idea you were here." She said sharply.

"Please tell that wasn't real. P-l-e-a-s-e tell me that wasn't real." I mumbled. She gave a weak smile and I orbed out. Back in the comfort of my office, I sat down, (well kind of), and cried silvery tears onto my desk.

In the middle of my crying session, I was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Professor Mason? It's me, Arabella." Arabella whispered.

Arabella's pov

"Arabella! Maddie! You wouldn't believe what my mum just told me!" Toby whispered excitedly.
