A.N - we got abit on Luffy's last life in here
chapter 12
I looked to the door as there was a knock and Elizabeth popped her head in "we're playing truth or dare you going to join us" she asked, I sighed looking back to the laptop and the work I was doing. I looked back to the dark haired girl "I'll be out in half hour just need to finish this and send it off" I replied. She grinned before leaving, I gave a soft snort thinking back to when they first wanted me to join in their games the first month of the school year, some fools still try to lord it over me being a half blood and a no name with no family to back me up.
I stood stretching grabbing my dressing gown and heading out to the main common room, I stood in the shadows looking over the others, most of them don't remember the war with the mongrel that called him self a dark lord. I watched as Lisa looked over with a small smile having sensed me with her still untrained ability to sense magic auras, I moved out into the open to sit near one of the only friends I have in this house.
I looked over the others sat around all in my year Elizabeth, Susan and her twin Auron moon, Thor Notts a branch member of the Notts family and lastly the youngest a tiny girl by the name of Ruby Carrow. I gave a snort waving them off as they looked to me no wonder they think I am dark as all but the twins are know as dark families, yet they forget I get along with three of the four Weasley's and Cedric.
I laughed as Auron dared Ruby to kiss Thor's cheek, she glared over at me before sticking out her tongue getting snorts from us, Thor looked to me with a raised brow, my turn I take it "Dare" I told him. This should be fun, not that they have anything on when the court played this game when we were bored the one time it turned into a prank war that lasted a full week all over the island, we were band from playing it ever again if we had been drinking. Thor looked around our little group before grinning "you have to kiss Lisa on the lips" he said, I felt myself freeze looking to the younger boy "aww come on she's not that bad looking is she" Susan teased from my side. I closed my eyes willing the memories away as I have done for years "Luffy" Lisa asked touching my arm, I flinched away only for her to gasp.
I looked to her seeing her eyes wide full of tears, shit now I've upset one of the only people in the school I can call friends, I watched as she brought a hand to her mouth to stop a sob escaping, I can feel the glares the others are throwing at me. I sighed reaching out for the younger girl touching her shoulder only for her to throw herself at me wrapping her arms around my middle cring into my shoulder, I looked to the others for help but only to see their confusion "Lizzy" I asked. She raised her head her brown eyes full of sorrow "I only just saw it, I swear" she said, i raised a brow running my hand down her back "what did you see" I asked, She pulled away looking into my eyes "you only have half a soul, not even that" she replied, I flinched as the others shouted "WHAT".
I eyed the girl still half sat in my lap "I thought your gift was seeing auras only not the soul of a person" I asked, she moved away to sit with the girls before looking back to me "your soul is like the sun but is muted chained as is you aura what you showed at the sorting was not even half of it. your soul is only half but then again it is missing 8 piece - no ten two are hidden - form what you have left" she replied, I closed my eyes rubbing my forehead "what do you mean" Auron asked, i let out a sigh as Lisa replied "I had an aunt who lost her soul mate a few years ago, she was of one soul with him but she only had half a soul after he passed, she passed on a week later", I could feel them all looking to me.
I opened my eyes looking to Liz seeing her watching me "it is the third month of term, you should be dead having lost a soul mate" she said, I let out a bitter laugh shaking my head "I have been without my mate for over 300 years, she was murdered when I was 47 in my last life, the 8 missing pieces of my soul are those of my crew my brother and sisters of my soul, the two hidden ones are my sworn brothers from when I was a child back in that life" I told them. I saw the horror in their eyes so turned my head to look at the fire "how are you alive, you have no anchors this life" Ruby asked, I looked to the tiny red head before letting out another sigh giving a small grin "I would have faded by the time I was five if I had not found and met a few of the reborns I called family kin in my last life. The first few years the Potters were my anchors, since they abandoned me I latched onto the bond I share with my Godfathers until they reject me I am anchored to them" I told them. I gave a yelp as I was dog piled by the girls forcing me to fall back hitting my head on the floor, I narrowed my eyes looking up at the three using my torso as a set only to see them grinning down at me. i huffed rolling my eyes at my friends only to feel them widen as they leaded down placing a kiss on my cheeks and forehead they pulled back laughing at my face "we're not kissing you" Thor said as Auron nodded grinning at his side. The girls got off pulling me to sit back up then sat themselves around me "we'll be your anchors till you find your family" Susan said, I blinked looking down at her "why and how do you know they have been reborn" I asked. She grinned up at me "you're our brother now, as to how Fate would not be that cruel so they are out there somewhere they just need their brother to find them" she replied. I gave one of my soft smiles wrapping my arms around the girls hugging them before dropping a kiss on the top of their heads, I looked to the boys seeing them nod so gave a helpless chuckle shaking my head. we went back to playing our game of truth and dare but they made sure none of my dares involved kissing any one for that I will call them half-Kin not family yet but almost and if need be I think I will use them as anchors.
