Chapter 9: People and their weird conversations
They all shifted nervously in their seats, worry and fear bubbling in their stomachs. How were they going to tell them? Neville turned to Lily, James and Sirius.
"Um, well, I'm Neville if you didn't know," he stated awkwardly. Lily's eyes widened as she asked, "Neville, as in Alice and Frank's son?"
Neville nodded hesitantly. Lily turned to James quickly and turned back to Neville, a huge smile on her face. "I haven't seen you since you were a baby! You look a lot like Frank but I bet you have Alice's personality! How are they? Can we see them? Oh, I have missed Alice! I bet you and Harry grew up like brothers, you always were together when you were babies!" Lily turned back to James and quickly said, "We will have to thank them in some way for taking care of Harry!" Lily went on to ask loads of questions, not letting Neville answer any of them.
Lily finally stopped and waited in anticipation for Neville's answers but her smile faded from her face as she saw the sad look on the boy's face.
"My mum and dad are in St. Mungos. They were tortured by Death Eaters after your deaths. They were tortured to insanity." Tears welled in his eyes as Lily looked heartbroken by his words. She walked over to Neville and hugged him as Neville tensed at the contact but relaxed and let his tears fall.
Harry and Hermione gazed sadly at the two as James and Sirius looked pityingly at Lily and the young boy.
Lily pulled away and smiled sadly at Neville.
"I was Alice's best friend at school," she whispered, "we always did everything together. You remind me of her. I may have only seen you act at lunch, but you have Alice's personality; kind, caring and brave at heart. She did things other wouldn't. She helped her friends and stood up for what is right. She knew she wanted to be an Auror, even in her first year." Neville beamed as Lily explained all about his mum and how he was very much like her in all but looks. He never really got told about his mum by his gran. He always got compared to his dad but no one compared him to his mum, so having Lily retell the stories of his mum warmed his heart. Lily finished her stories as Neville whispered that he had never heard about his mum before, sinking Lily's heart at the news.
James looked bewildered. He turned to Sirius, who also looked confused, then turned back to the others. He tried to ask a question but stopped himself before he did and turned back to Sirius again even more bewildered. Sirius rolled his eyes as his best friend tried again to ask the same question. Bored of his friend's ability to construct a sentence (or the ability to not) he asked for him in a serious tone, "What James is trying to say, and failing miserably might I add, is, if Alice and Frank couldn't take care of Harry then who did?"
This made all of them glance nervously to each other then back at Harry. Hermione felt panicked as no one said anything. She didn't mean to say what she did next but there was no stopping her.
Lily, Sirius and James were angry. No that wasn't the right word. They were fuming. And when Lily is like that: 1) she looks like a bright red tomato in her anger, and 2) the outcome is not good.
They had learnt that Harry had gone to the Dursley's! The bloody Dursleys! That was worse than Azkaban! And Sirius had been there! It was now officially called Durzkaban.
How dare they hurt Harry! They would pay. And it wouldn't be good for them. At all.
Lily walked over to were Harry was, still fuming, and towered over him.
Harry's eyes widened in fear. He was in for it now. When an adult was that angry it was not good. Not good for him. He squirmed as Lily picked him up and hugged him.
Harry didn't understand why she was hugging him. Maybe it was some kind of way to treat him nicely before they hurt him.
"Aren't you angry at me?" Questioned Harry, fear still in his eyes.
Lily looked straight into his eyes and whispered comfortingly, "I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at the people who did this to you."
Harry's eyes were now filled with happiness as he saw the truth in his mum's eyes. Today had been the best day of his life. He had a family.
Ron was not having a good day. At all. He wasn't getting paid from Dumbledore anymore because Harry wasn't talking to him, and he had lost his partner, Ginny. Oh well. Who needed her anyway?
So, Ronald Bilius Weasley ran up to the Gryffindor Tower, ignoring the death glares sent his ways, and went straight to his dorm room. Once he was there he rifled through his trunk, trying, and failing, to find parchment and ink. He looked around the room till he had an idea. He would look through everyone else's trunks! I mean who would know about that.
So, Ron the thief started in Harry's trunk and pulled out a few items. He took out the invisibility cloak and stuffed it in his trunk, smirking to himself in triumph, and continued to find parchment and an ink bottle. He made his way down to the Common Room and saw his little sister sitting in a corner by herself, death glares sent both of their ways.
He decided to go sit with her. Big mistake.
"What do you want Ronald?" Snapped Ginny, looking into her ex-brother's eyes.
"I'm going to write a letter to mum, explaining all of this mess. Who does Potter think he is? Strutting in here like he owns the place, he's turning into Malfoy! We can't let him go dark Ginny, can we?" Ron stated to her. He knew that this would make her come around from her little outburst at him. He could see the fight in her eyes. Should she stick to her earlier choice or should she join her brother, her mother and Dumbledore again? But then it became clear to her that if she was going to win back Harry then she couldn't do it alone and she couldn't let him go dark. She would help her brother. There was no going back now.
To say Gilderoy Lockhart was pissed was an understatement. Why wasn't he the centre of attention like he normally was? The answer, Harry Potter. Lockhart knew that the boy was famous for his defeat of You-Know-Who, but the pompous Professor couldn't, or wouldn't, understand why he couldn't just swoop in and save Harry from all of his fame and let himself, Gilderoy Lockhart, take all of the fame and glory from the boy. Wait. That was an idea. He would just save Harry from his fame then mentor Harry and take all the fame for it. Yes, that would work.
He strode into his office and sat down at his desk, blowing a kiss at the portraits and photos of himself as he went. He would also have to convince Harry's parents that he would be able to handle Harry's glory somehow. But how would he do it.
He opened up his desk draw and brought out a slip of parchment. Written on the parchment was a list of Hogwarts Professors. Now which one to help him.
McGonagall: no. Flitwick: no. Dumbledore: maybe. Sprout: no. Snape: n- wait didn't he hate the boy? Yes, a definite yes for Severus. No one would stand in his way for fame, fortune and glory, not even the Founders themselves. Oh, how very wrong he was.
Dumbledore stalked through the halls of his castle.
Well it wasn't his castle anymore but he didn't need to know that right now.
He didn't buzz around his * wink * castle like he normally did but stalked down the halls, leaving many scared first years scampering away. He was annoyed, beyond annoyed.
That seemed to be a very common emotion throughout the castle at the moment, who knows what caused that?
Anyway, Dumbledore shouted the password at the gargoyle outside the office and quickly stepped onto the ascending stairs, leaving a very deafened statue at the front of his office.
"Bloody Headmaster!" Hissed the gargoyle who was now trying to unblock his ears and trying to hear again whilst Dumbledore slammed his door closed, deafening the gargoyle again, and slumped down in his chair, reaching for those blasted lemon drops!
What is it that makes him like them so much? Like seriously! Hah, get it, seriously, Sirius… no, okay. Awkward.
Anyway, back to Dumbledork again. He sucked on his lemon drop thoughtfully.
Wait can you suck on something thoughtfully. That sounded way better when that was in my head. Not so good when I write it down or say it. Am I saying it? I mean I am the narrator of this story, hello there will be times for autographs later, and I am saying this in my head but feel like I am writing this down, like in a book series. I know I should tell Rita Skeeter this and she could make these events into a book series. Yeah! Call it Harry Potter and for each year add another part to the Harry Potter part and you have seven years of this to come! Although I really hate that beetle woman, literally beetle woman. You are probably wondering who I am, you are aren't you? No. Great. I am Hogwarts. I know right such an amazing foreseen plot twist. It's like all of the other stories of the Founders heirs. But I bet you have never actually been in the mind of Hogwarts have you. And if you have then… Anyway, I am here to make things a bit funnier because the bloody author is not funny in her writing at all and is terrible at writing so I will try, and I repeat try, to make this the funniest this adventure could be. I will probably not achieve this but I will try. You will see these intervals of me ranting about a character because most of them are so annoying right now. * cough * cough * Ron, Ginny, Lockhart, Dumbledork and the greasy haired bat. * cough * * cough * Back to the story!
Dumbledork muttered under his breath about how he had to get Harry back under his control and then muttered some more about how it would be harder to do that now that Lily, James and Sirius are here.
There was some interesting stuff about what the bat did but no one wants to know about him so I will skip him and end this part here! Bye Hogwarts students and muggles! (I know only you can hear me Luna at the moment but I know soon everyone will be able to hear me soon, just be patient...)
A/N: Hey guys! I hope you like how I added a new 'character' is Hogwarts really a character? I don't know. But I would love to know what you think about me adding a narrator in to jazz things up a bit! Please review! I would love to know what you think I will do with Luna. See ya!
