Chapter 10: Don't Trust Me
"Two rolls of parchment!" Was the argument the class had with Professor Lupin that Monday morning when he got back to teaching and Kami and Harry got back in the swing of things.
"Even though I know that Kami and Hermione did the essays the rest of you don't have to do them. How about 60 points apiece for each essay? Sound fair enough?" The class nodded as Hermione and Kami handed him their essays.
The holidays were approaching fast and with it the Winter Ball. Last minute preparations were being made, and the girls received their dresses. Ginny nearly screamed with delight as she tried on her dress for the first time and was shocked at how well it fit her. She was so excited.
"Tell me all about Cedric Iris." Ginny pushed for information.
"He's a decent chap."
"Is he a good snog?" Everyone laughed.
"Not as good as Oliver because I'm not glued to his mouth."
"Hey I'm making up for lost time. Besides Oliver leaves this year and Cedric doesn't." Kami defended herself.
"Harry hasn't kissed me yet." Hermione admitted.
"Wait what?" Everyone said together stunned.
"I mean he'll peck me on the check or forehead or something like that, but never on the mouth."
"Then take control of his mouth." Iris shrugged.
"Yeah be assertive."
"Not what my brother would like. He's waiting until tonight. Since he wants to make sure this is the best day of Hermione's life he wants her to remember her first kiss." Kami closed her eyes really tightly while saying this.
"Twin link?" Iris asked
"Yeah, and not going to say what all he is thinking about, because frankly I don't need those mental images." Kami silenced herself on her brother's thoughts after that. Whatever those boys were talking about she really didn't want to know.
The next day Kami came in with some shocking news that she had learned from Professor Lupin. He apparently let some things about her and Harry's past slip without swearing her to secrecy. Mostly because this stuff was public knowledge. So, everyone gathered in their normal seats when everyone else went to sleep. Harry especially wanted to know what happened.
"Apparently there were four people in this group that our dad formed when he was in Hogwarts. And in the group was none other than Sirius Black. He and dad were best friends. Closer than you can imagine."
"So, what happened Kami?" Hermione was now really interested in the story.
"Well, Black ended up being in with Voldemort." Everyone but Harry cringed at the name when Kami spoke it.
"Great so my godfather was in with Voldemort. Why'd you get the good one?" Kami glared at her twin to shut it.
"Anyways, Black betrayed us to Voldemort. It was the Fidelius charm Hermione." Kami side noted.
"Naturally." Hermione agreed that it was the best protection measure.
"Peter Pettigrew caught up with Black and then was murdered along with 13 Muggles. All they could find was his finger." Kami finished dramatically.
"So, he was their friend? He was there friend! I hope when he comes for me he's ready because I know I am." Harry said through gritted teeth.
