Somebody shoot, please!
Following was filed on January 3rd 1982 by Albus Dumbledore. It contains the story of the crimes that took place at Hogwarts in 1976 as seen through the eyes of the four students, Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black and Allie Weber.
Dear Sir.
I have been told to start this story, since I was the first that knew something was going on. In our conversation Dumbledore, you told us that we should try and make our story as real as possible and that every detail and word mattered. I have based my accounts on old diary entries and letters as well as memory.
Regards, Allie Weber.
As told by Allie - Chapter 1 – I'm a terrible liar.
Sometimes I'd really like to just kill myself…. Why can't I ever just keep my freaking mouth shut? I have a sinking feeling that I have just plunged myself into some really deep poisonous water. I mean, who the hell ends up in the hospital wing the first evening back? Yeah, that would be me. The Stupid, imbecile me with the big gap.
Oh goodie…Here comes the Head girl to see me… or scold me. Lily Evans, I think her name is.
This year's Head girl is that red head, James Potter is so crazy about. I can see why too, she's really pretty up close, with wide emerald eyes and long fiery red hair. She's a year above me but even though we're both in Gryffindor, I don't think we ever talked much.
"How are you feeling?" She asks when she's getting close.
"Grrreat." I mutter.
She gives me a skeptical stare but she apparently decides to let it slip, "So do you wanna tell me what happened between you and Mulicber?"
"Nothing happened between us. I fell."
"So that's how you broke your nose?"
I'm almost about to do a little victory chant, I cannot believe she'll actually bye my excuse, which, let's be honest, is pretty lame. Instead I nod solemnly, "I've always been clumsy."
"Right. So after you fell and broke your nose, you decided to stun yourself Weber?"
Damn.
"You might want to tell me what really happened. Are you muggleborn? Did he bully you? I'm muggleborn too, we can't let them get away with their dirty tricks."
I just look into her sincere eyes, she looks worried as hell, and I suddenly feel bad for her. I wish I could tell her what happened but I can't. Too much is at stake.
"Nothing happened Evans. If I had anything at all on Muliciber, I wouldn't hesitate to turn him in, trust me!"
She sighs, "I hope that's true."
We are silent then for quite a while. I think Evans is trying to figure out whether to believe me or not. She has a contemplative look on her face as she stares at me. In the meantime I'm begging her to just drop it all, inside my head. Finally she gives a deep sigh,
"Fine. But if you suddenly remember anything else, come to me immediately."
I give her a big smile, which she doesn't return, "Will do."
She gives me a curt nod and turns to leave, but when she reaches the door she pauses, and turns around,
"I want you to know that no matter what happens you can come to me, and I'll do my best to help you, okay?"
I give her a confused look because of the sincerity in her voice, "Sure."
She leaves and I'm once again left in the empty hospital wing with a lot to ponder.
NB: For now I have chosen to leave out details of what happened between Muliciber and me, there is a time for that, later. – A.W.
