    first what had woken him. By the view from the window, it wasn't yet dawn, so why had he been pulled from slumber? A soft sniffling drew his attention, and Harry raised himself up slightly, looking for its source. Astoria was curled up in a corner, her knees drawn to her chest and her head buried in her arms. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and Harry knew she was crying. Without another thought, he got up quietly, hoping that his movements didn't rouse Blaise and Daphne, still sleeping next to him. Astoria flinched slightly when Harry sat next to her, but didn't raise her head. Harry settled himself, but didn't speak, hoping that the younger girl would come to him. A few minutes later, Astoria sniffed and looked over at her host. Harry's profile was calm, as he sat completely relaxed, his knees bent and his arms resting on them. He wasn't looking at her directly, but she imagined he was observing her out of the corner of his eye. "I miss my mum," she whispered, tears filling her eyes. Harry nodded sympathetically.

"I never got to have that awkward talk with my dad about girls. Sirius is great, but it's still something I should have shared with my dad. I wonder if he would have told me to go for it when I felt ready, or if I should wait. I never got to experience what having real parents is like. My aunt and uncle hated me, and even though Sirius and Aunt Minerva are wonderful, they're not my mum and dad. And by the time they took over guardianship for me, I really wasn't a child anymore, no matter how much I wish otherwise." Harry sighed. "I wish I could tell you how to make the hurt disappear. I wish I could tell you that some day, you won't miss her so much. I wish I could tell you that it gets better. But I can't, because I don't think it will. I think the best I can do is tell you that it will get easier." Astoria swallowed, willing her tears to stop as she leaned into his side, taking comfort in his steady presence.
