The Leak
Part Four
The Pipe Breaks
"So you think you know who did it?" I asked softly. I was no longer mad at James. What Sirius had told me changed everything. Unless this was a huge scam just to embarrass me and ruin my life, which I was pretty sure it wasn't. James rubbed the back of his neck.
"No, it's a wild-educated guess."
"Well?"
"It's probably wrong…"
"Still."
"And it would upset you to even come to thought that it was that person…"
"Who is it, James?"
"Lily, do yourself a favor. Don't ask me."
"But—"
"I've gotta go meet Sirius." And with that he left. I flumpped into a chair. Was is really someone that bad if it would upset me so much?
Signing, I rose and made my way over to the girls dormitory. Maybe it was one of his friends? Or maybe one of his enemies and he was upset that it really worked? That made sense. Severus did it to get to James and now used it as a bribe. But no. He wouldn't use me. We were actually friends. It made sense to be a Gryffindor, since no one else could've gotten it. Unless, yes, that would make sense, too, if someone from a diferent house bribed someone from Gryffindor to get it. It hit me! Peter! The most gullible person that ever lived! If you told him to jump of a cliff, he'd do it!
I entered to dormitory both depressed and proud of myself. I needed to talk someone badly. James was meeting Sirius somewhere, and Remus was sick again.
"Daphne?" I called. She spun around in surprise of seeing me.
"Hi Lily."
"Can I talk to you?"
"Uh, um…" She sled something under her bed. "Sure thing, dude!"
"Look, I know who's been doing these things to me." She paled and froze for a moment.
"Lily, Ican explain." Explain what?
"Explain what?"
"Ok, you wanna know why I did it? Well here it goes. Cuz I'm always there as a friend for you. But you know? I never get anywhere! You're always mumbling bout that James Potter or how your family's a mess! You know what? I decided to make so that if you are depressed, it should be for a good reason! And it worked! God I never thought it would work so nicely! Everybody got a taste of you "deepest secrets"! HAHA! And I enjoyed every bit of it. How you soother about your life being over! HA! Damn that Potter. Would be niceif he did barge in and figure it out. Yeah, he tried to stop me from doing it. Fat chance! HAHA!"
I stared at my best friend in disbelief. Was this really true? Was the one to cause me all this pain all along was the person closest to me? I felt tears escaping my eyes and bluring her grinning figure. But why? Why would she do such a thing? I guess James was right. It was better for me not to know…
A/N: Wel, there MIGHT be a part five to wrap this whole thing up. Et you didn't expect Daphne!!! WHAHAHAHAHAH! Sorry… Well, just goes to show you that people aren't always who they seem to be!!!
