Chapter 7: The Sunday known as 'Deciding Sunday'
Once the morning arrived, Katie Bell woke up in the Gryffindor Tower, knowing that today would be a deciding day.
From this day on, everyone would know about her Slytherin boyfriend.
Loads of people would want them apart, doing anything to break them up and set them up against each other.
All because of the House rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
'But I'm going to change that, forever.' Katie thought. She was a Gryffindor, a Brave One, and she would act to that as well.
She got dressed quickly, not wanting to wake up her friends for this.
Her clothes were little more girlish than usual on Sundays like this one, but it was a special Sunday for her.
And everybody would see how happy she was with her Snake Prince.
Aragon woke up that Sunday, knowing that the fates of Gryffindors and Slytherins depended on his and Katie's actions.
Most Gryffindors would probably yell at Katie, calling her a whore and more horrible things. And the Slytherins would behave quite well, after all, he was the first born son of Slytherin's True Heir.
Aragon got dressed in his usual Sunday robes, typical black robes with silver lining and green snakes everywhere on his cape. The family symbol on the right side of his chest, showing off the pride he had for his family.
'Today is the day, to show all of them that I, Aragon Palpatine, am ready to live up my name and title of Prince.' Aragon thought as he stood in front of the only mirror in his dorm room. 'I am going to show those dorks that True Love is a bond by your Soul's choice, not by Mind's choice.
9.30 AM, Great Hall of Hogwarts, Gryffindor Table
Katie felt nervous. She knew her friends would love to see her kissing her Snake Prince, but all those others would think she had lost her mind.
"Why are you so nervous?" Alicia asked, worrying for her friend.
"I'm just thinking to much." Katie replied, looking at Alicia.
"Katie, just know that Angelina and I stand behind you through everything. You two belong together, and you know that." Alicia said.
"He's coming!" Angelina whispered.
Katie looked at the door through the corners of her eyes.
Aragon surprised her once again.
"Whoa..." Alicia and Angelina said, staring at Aragon with their mouths wide open.
Katie started to become red, but she bit her cheek and stood up from the Gryffindor Table, somehow exactly knowing what Aragon would do.
Aragon snatched Katie, twirled her around and kissed her once she was hanging in his arms, her own arms around her neck.
It felt like time was standing still, it was so quiet in the always so loud Great Hall.
Then, after 5 seconds, the whole Slytherin table started cheering.
"Hooray for the Prince! Hooray for the Prince!" they yelled, some standing up from their seats, others jumped on the wooden benches to show the whole school they were proud to their Prince.
Katie felt amazing, she had never felt like this before. She was destined to be with Aragon, she somehow knew ever since she looked in his sky blue eyes for the first time of her life. That moment, she found her Soulmate, her fairy tale Prince.
She didn't look at her House mates, right now, she had only eyes for her Prince.
Charlie smiled.
Katie lived up to her status as a Gryffindor, she came up for where she believed in, not believing the words of another.
And now Katie did that, he received courage on his own as well. Courage to rebel against his mother, and for something else.
Charlie looked at Hope, who was clapping and cheering the loudest of them all.
'From all girls I've seen through those years, Hope is the fairest of them all.' Charlie thought when Aragon and Katie joined them on the Slytherin table.
"You were very brave there, Katie." Charlie told her.
"Thanks Charles." Katie said.
"Charles?" Hope asked.
"That's my actual name given at birth, but I've always gone by Charlie. It's more modern." Charlie said.
Hope gave him a questioning look, but didn't ask anything.
'Sure, having a Royal name doesn't make you a Royal after all.' Charlie said to himself.
Arcturus Black was a Gryffindor by heart and soul.
Although his family were all Slytherins, even his more rebellious father, they had all been brave Jedi Knights if they had the Force in them.
No one in Gryffindor really accepted Arcturus, just because of his surname. His only friends were a few Ravens and loads of his Slytherin classmates since every Lion, nearly every Lion actually, believed the Jedi were evil.
And Arcturus was a Jedi, like a lot of members in his family before him.
He and his sister were the last ones who went by the surname of Black, and he knew he was the last male in the line.
'Bravery is one step, belief is the other.'
Arcturus knew he had to be a little bit more brave, for himself, for his family, for the Jedi Order.
He could do it.
After that faithful Sunday, nothing was the same anymore.
The Gryffindor House was devided in 3.
The first group were those who still believed in Dumbledore's words. They tried to insult Katie whenever they could to make her miserable. Ronald Weasley was here the leader.
The second group were those who were now questioning their loyalties. They investigated the matter for themselves and stayed neutral when the other two groups had a fight in the Gryffindor Common Room. These people knew Katie very well, not enough to trust her on her words, but enough to see that some Slytherins weren't that bad.
The third group were those who allied themselves with the Slytherins, those who knew Dumbledore was telling lies to his students just to keep them away from the horrible truth. These people were either Jedi themselves, very good friends of Katie and those who had a secret crush on some Slytherin. Charlie Weasley became the true leader, but everyone believed Arcturus Black was the leader.
But that belief would change soon...
Charlie was sitting in the Common Room of Gryffindor, reading his notes on Transfiguration as his youngest brother came in.
"Charlie!" he called out.
Charlie looked up, the irritation clear on his face. "Ronald, would you please be a bit more quiet! There are some people studying for their OWL's!" he said.
"That's not as important as what I need to tell you." Ronald said.
"What is so important that you need to disturb everybody?" Charlie asked.
Ronald took an old dusty book from his bag. "There is a spell in here that should reveal when someone's Force-Sensitive or not!" he proudly announced.
Charlie went pale. 'Oh no!' he thought. Charlie could imagine what Dumbledore would do once Ronald did the spell the right way.
Dumbledore would kill everybody who had even no idea they were Force-Sensitive, just to be sure that the Jedi Order would have lesser youngsters to train.
"What's wrong with you?" Ronald asked.
Charlie didn't reply, instead, he grabbed the book from Ronald's hands and threw it in the fire, causing an enormous shooting flame up the chimney. The book was burned, every page was unreadable now, because of the shooting flame.
"Why did you do that!? It was our only chance of getting rid of those Halflings!" Ronald called.
The whole Common Room was now watching the two Weasley brothers.
"I couldn't let you do that spell." Charlie said, loud enough for everyone to hear it.
"Why?" Ronald asked.
"I... I have a friend." Charlie began. "And this friend... is from a family of Jedi."
Everyone was silent, even the always-so-loud Ronald Weasley.
"She's actually more than just a friend, I like her... romantically." Charlie told, the fire causing a mysterious atmosphere around him. "I couldn't betray her, ever since the first day when I met her. And if I ever betray her, her father will have my head, as well as that of my father."
"W-w-wait... are you telling us now... that you're in love with a Jedi!?" Ronald yelled, his eyes widing.
Everyone belonging to the first group was very shocked.
Everyone from the second group was watching with a thoughtful face. What kind of confession was this? And who was this girl Charlie Weasley had fallen for?
The third group held their breaths.
Charlie's only Gryffindor friend Oliver Wood was looking thoughtful. Even though he was Charlie's friend, they never had a conversation about other things but Quidditch and homework. This came as quite a surprise for Oliver.
Charlie looked at his youngest brother. "I'm sorry Ronald, but I just cannot support you in your way of thinking. You see, I've got it too." he said.
"What do you mean? What do you have too?" Ronald asked, not understanding.
Charlie spread his arms, focussing on the Force.
Suddenly, books were flying around in the Common Room, parchment hovered above the tables, quills twirled around and the fire grew bigger.
The books flew slower once they reached Charlie, hovering 2 feet above his head.
"Y-y-you..." Ronald stammered, his eyes still wide.
"I am Force-Sensitive." Charlie admitted. "I have been since the day I was born."
The whole Common Room was surprised by that confession, even the members of the third group.
"WHAT!?" Ronald yelled.
"I know." Charlie said, hanging his head and let his arms fell to his sides. But he looked up again, his face braver than anyone had seen him before. "But I am proud of it. I at least know what my future is, I'll be serving the Jedi Order in every way I can, I will rebel against those who believe the wrong, I will be brave and stick with my kind. But I'll never ever, forget my real friends... or my true enemies."
"Mom shall hear of this!" Ronald yelled angrily.
"Go tell your mother, but she's no longer mine." Charlie said, turning away. "I'll only aknowledge my father's side of the family, the Black family and the Weasley family. Through the Black blood flowing in my veins, I can do what I can do."
'Through confessions, bravery will grow and knowledge will be archived.'
