HOME COMING
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Sasporilla stepped out of her mothers minivan into the drive way of #4 Castle Road. She walked into the house using a cane Saint Mungos had given her for support. Wysteria grabbed Sassys bag and hauled it behind them.
Sasporilla was very surprised that Miss Daisy didn't meet them at the door as she always did. As Sassy walked in she was met by a house full of friends and family excited to see her up and around. A large black and white dog lumbered over to her.
"Hello Buster." Sasporilla smiled. He wagged his tail at her but paid her little mind as he passed her by to say hello to his mummy.
"Hello buster my boy." Wysteria smiled and rubbed his head pleasing the dog to no end.
"Where's Gooseberry?" Sasporilla asked.
"Sweet heart." Wysteria said gently. "No ones seen your monkey since the night you went into St.Mungos."
Sasporilla was worried. Where would she go? Perhaps she'd been taken. Sassy vowed to find her darling little friend.
Karry ran up and hugged her Sasporilla tightly7. Karry had grown a bit and had started to Blossom. She was clearly going to be built more like her mom and sister Kay as opposed to her other sister Kandy, who took more after her fathers side.
With balloons and cake it felt more like a birthday party than a home coming. Everyone had to come up, say hello, and wish her well. Mrs.Curtiss helped her mother set out drinks and food for the guests. Sasporilla excused herself from the crowd of well-wishers and hobbled to the kitchen. Her mum and Mrs.Curtiss sipped a bit of wine as they laughed an prepared an enormous cake.
"Can I help." Sasporilla asked.
"Don't be silly dear." Wysteria said.
"For goodness sake girl." Kolleen Curtiss said pulling over a chair. "Get off your feet sweetness."
Sasporilla sat on the chair at the side of the kitchen counter.
"You just rest yourself pumpkin." Wysteria said.
"And let us handle the details, ya?" Kolleen said rubbing the girls pink hair.
"Where's miss Daisy?" Sasporilla asked. "Why isn't she here?"
Kolleen took a deep breath, smiled and took another tray of snacks out to the guests. She shot Wysteria a concerned sympathetic look. She didn't envy her friend this conversation.
"Sassy my love." Wysteria said walking over and taking her daughter by the hand. "Daisy passed away while you were in the hospital."
Sasporilla felt the tears well up in her eyes.
"They found her in your bed, snuggled in next to you." Wysterias lower lip quivered. "She had died in the night laying next to her most favorite person. We can't have asked for a better more peaceful way for her to go."
Tears rolled down Sasporillas cheeks. She stood from the chair and grabbed her cane. With much effort she ran across the kitchen and up the back steps to her room where she collapsed in tears onto her bed.
She had lost so much. So many friends. While in the hospital she'd heard the stories of the attacks on London. She knew of the families that were missing or dead and she knew that Mr.Olivander had vanished.
"Sassy." Karry said gently.
Sasporilla looked up to see Karry and Korry standing at the top of her stairs. Korry had grown almost a foot and Sasporilla noticed he was becoming less cute and more handsome. She felt like such a child in their presence.
"Can we come in?" Korry asked.
"You don't have to suffer alone anymore Sassy." Karry said sitting next to Sasporilla on her bed. "You have friends who are here for you."
"Ya." Korry said. "We're here for you."
"Would you stop repeating everything I say." Karry said.
"I'm not repeating everything you say." Korry said innocently.
"Oh you are infuriating!" Karry sad giving her brother a smack.
"Ow!" Korry smiled. "I am. I really am."
"Look you two." Sasporilla said sitting up. "Are you here to cheer me up or bicker like a pair of old washer women?"
"Why?" Korry asked. "You got socks need washing?"
"You are twisted." Karry laughed. "So are you coming back to Hogwarts this year Sassy?"
"Yes." Sasporilla sniffed. "I'll be coming back for my third year."
"We're fourth years now." Korry said.
"Right." Sasporilla said. "I forgot. I've missed a whole year. Guess I slept in."
"But at least we'll all be there together." Karry shrugged.
"What about the others?" Sasporilla asked.
"Janeys not allowed back because she's partially a beast blood. So she's back in the mountains with her mum and dad. Enchandra Benzs family won't let her come back with all that's going on."
"What about your sisters?" Sassy asked.
"Kandys coming back." Korry said. "Mum and dad are forcing ber to finish school. Ever since the whole dungeon thing she's not wanted to go back. Been hanging with a bad crowd."
"That's awful." Sasporilla said.
"Kays out now. Graduated last year." Karry smiled changing the subject. "She's got a job at the Ministry in the office of Muggle Relations. She was a shoe in cause our dad is a muggle and all."
"Any word from little Zac?" Sasporilla said.
"Little Zac?" Korry laughed.
"What?" Sasporilla asked.
"Zac started growing the summer you went into Saint Mungos." Karry said. "By the end of last year he was almost six feet tall."
"What?" Sasporilla laughed very surprised. "No way!"
"Yep." Korry said. "Tall and skinny."
"Ya." Karry said. "Not half bad looking either."
"If you like the type." Korry said.
"Oh?" Sasporilla inquired. "And what sort of young man is your type?"
"Well we know not skinny ones." Karry said.
"I like girls!" Korry insisted.
The girls started to laugh hysterically as Korry kept turning deeper shades of red.
Laughing, Sasporilla realized, was better than crying any day of the week
