Chapter 10
Lilith went straight to the girls' bathroom, knowing nobody ever goes there. She blinked back her tears. She didn't want to cry. She hated when she cried. But her eyes started to sting as they stated to blur, she sniffed a few times then a strangle sob came out. She fell to her knees holding her hands to her chest as she cried hard.
Lilith sniffed a few times, blinking back her tears. She went into her book bag and reached in to grab her 'kit' out. It held things that she needed especially at a time when she is beyond emotional.
Lilith opened up the little bag, took out a potion vile and took a drink and shuddered by the taste. For all the years she haves been taking it, she still hasn't got use of the taste. Then she took out a needle that already held what she needed inside, she slapped in her inner arm by the junction on her elbow. She almost have the needle in her vein that was shown a bright light blue that was well marked for her nice white complexion.
Harry burst through the bathroom door. He took one look at Lilith. Lilith stared at him with wide eyes while the needle rest above her vein.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Harry" she said. "Why are you here, you are in the girls bathroom"
'Don't mind that" snapped Harry as he walked forward. "Why are you doing drugs?"
Harry said this with so much concern and eyeing her what look of pure sadness despite he was still frowning.
"I am not Harry"
"Yes you are" he replied. "What is this then?" he questioned her.
Harry took another step forward and grabbed the needle out of Lilith's hand. Couldn't think any different since that is his catching the snitch reflexes.
"Harry" cried out Lilith. "I need that"
"No you don't"
"Yes I do" she said indigently. "God, I need that to suppress some of my powers, and that" she pointed to an empty potion vile. "That is for keeping a entity that is inside of me not to control me"
Lilith stood up and walked towards Harry and took her shot out of his hands.
"What?" he said completely confused.
Lilith let out a sigh.
"I never want anybody to know this, I don't want anybody to know this about me, but since you're here and want an explanation, I guess I can tell you, but you have to keep this to yourself, I mean yourself; cant go off and tell it to Ron and Hermione" Lilith said.
"So many secrets from you" Harry said.
Lilith let out a little laugh.
"I know, but I think you know like me then anybody else, that we like to keep certain things hidden" she replied.
Harry gave her a side smile and nodded his head.
"I promise, I wont tell anybody." He sworn, with right hand over his heart and his left hand in the air, palm out.
"Alright, this is the potion I have to take three times a day" Lilith announced while she held up the empty vile. "It is to keep an entity that is inside of me not to come out or control me, see when I was littleā¦"
~Flash Back~
"Lilith"
Lilith looked around, and looked back at her parents; they were cuddle to each other and kissing like they have been since yesterday.
"Lilith"
Lilith looked towards the woods. She noticed a blue light and was shimmering when the sunlight hit it. Lilith looked around and went into the woods. When she came to a clearing there was the light blue light in the middle.
"Hello Lily" the blue light said.
"Hi" said hesitant Lilith. "Who are you and how you know my name?"
The blue light glimmered.
"I am Iris, I know a lot about you" the voice said sweetly. "You're something powerful, something I've been waiting for"
Lilith looked around and back at the light, and pointed to herself.
"Why you waiting for me?"
"Because your something powerful and very smart and I want you" the voice said calmly. "Will you let me go into you, I need somewhere to live, and I really appreciate it"
Lilith looked worried and started to bite her lower lip.
"I don't know" Lilith fidget. "I should ask my parents if you can stay with us"
"They don't need to know, I will live inside you, when I do; I can protect you and everybody you care about"
The blue light came closer to Lilith and placed pictures in her head, about people she remembered that died.
"I don't know" said Lilith. "I think it could be okay"
The blue light went into her body full force. Lilith's body fell down. Iris laughed, she had a body again, she haves different kinds of power flowing through the girls blood and it belongs to her too.
~End Of Flash Back~
"Ever since then she has been in my body and sometimes she wants to come out, and take over" said Lilith as she bit her lower lip. "So I have to take that like I said three times a day to prevent it"
Harry looked at Lilith calmly. She couldn't read his face to see what he is really feeling or thinking. For all she know and she wouldn't doubt it if he thought she went barking mad.
"Okay, what is the needle for?"
"Well, I also inherited mutant powers that flows with my witching, I have to take a shot three times a day to suppress it, to keep it in control" she answered while looking away.
"It's like I have four chambers in my body, One being my witching, Two my mutant, Three, my mutant mixed with my witching, Four Iris, or you could say five since Iris can mix all them together" she said quietly as she held onto herself.
"I know its weird, maybe I sound insane, but that is me, that is the truth"
Lilith wanted to break down in tears. She wish she could just be normal, and not have anything that will complicate her life.
"I heard about the mutant thing on the news, once" replied Harry. "That's cool"
Harry knew that Lilith is feeling rotten. He wanted to cheer her up. He didn't want her sad and he definitely didn't know really what to do when a girl is crying, like Hermione, he feels so out of place. Plus he didn't think any less of Lilith either.
Lilith turned around on him.
"ITS NOT COOL IT MAKES ME A FREAK" cried out Lilith with angry tears. "I CAN DO SO MUCH, I CAN HURT PEOPLE WITH A SNAP OF MY FINGER, I NEVER WANTED THIS AND I DO NOT WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW"
"You are not a freak" replied Harry with intensity he hated that word with passion. "Don't believe that it makes you unique it makes you, you"
He stepped forward to her and patted her shoulder. Lilith wiped her tears away with the back of her hand and smiled at him.
"What are your powers?" asked Harry, to get away with this awkward silence that fell upon them.
Lilith rolled her eyes and smiled and let out a big sigh.
"I can manipulate fire, I can burst into flames and set things on fire, making fire balls; I can also freeze things, manipulate water as well, I can turn invisible, Teleport, Walk through walls, Heal myself and others, I can also let people inherit some of my powers only for a little time being, I can move things with my mind, I can manipulate someone's mind, I can also read someone's mind, and some more" stated Lilith.
Harry gave her a stricken look.
"Don't worry I don't just read and manipulate peoples minds, I think that's trespassing, I think that is a worse thing I can do and ever will do" she said.
Then Harry looked relieved.
"That is a lot" he stated. "I see why you have to suppress them"
"But, I thought a mutant could only have like one gift?" questioned Harry.
Lilith smiled. She nodded her head.
"Yeah, not really, some actually can take other powers away like touching their skin, but at my old school they don't know why I have so much, or that I can also take someone's power by being next to them, but then too I had some of them all ready before I even stepped foot into the school"
Harry smiled at her and scratched the back of his neck.
"Yup, so you will keep this to yourself?" she questioned him again.
Harry nodded his head.
"Because if you don't then I might have to hex you"
Harry started to laugh which led Lilith to laugh.
"Oh I thought you will send Malfoy at me" he teased.
"Why would I do that when I am perfectly capable to do it myself" Lilith said with a grin.
"Yeah no kidding" laughed Harry.
"We should get going, before somebody sees us together getting out of the girls bathroom."
"Yeah, I don't think we want to draw any more attention upon ourselves" agreed Harry.
"Harry" replied Lilith. "Thank you so much"
She gave him a hug which he hugged her back softly. Lilith stepped back and looked at her needle.
"Before we go, I need to do this" she stated.
Lilith went back to her stance and place the needle in her arm and push through while she pushed down the applicator till the remaining liquid is in her vein.
She looked back up and notice Harry cringing at the sight; she shook her head and smiled. She placed it back in her 'kit', until she gets home to dispose it properly.
She took Harry's hand and dragged him out of the bathroom with her.
"Come on"
