A/N:To Sakura Lisel: I'm trying to make the characters act as real life as possible. When Selene was hurt, Poppy's first instinct was to get angry even though it wasn't necessarily Harry's fault.(though you have to admit, he liked making Dudley angry:)) ). Secondly, maybe she tried getting the boy out of that household, but let's be honest Dumbledore had his reasons to keep Harry there, and he wouldn't explain them to anyone. Here's another chapter. Enjoy. :))
Last chapter:We spent the next hours talking about everything. Harry ocasionally shot me glances. It would take some time for him to get used to it. But it wasnt so bad after all…
Chapter 22: Sibling feelings
But even if I told him just a part of it and he didn't realize what else I was hiding, the things werent as pink as they seemed. There was still one month left of school and now I was in the hospital wing, they all left about two hours ago. And then Dumbledore entered.
"Hello, Selene. How are you doing? I heard you told Harry."
" Well, Voldemort had a little bit of a contribution there too. He recognized me after a little too much suggestions. Of course, he thought I was dead. But now he knows I am alive. We lost one of our secrets now. And I forgot to send Harry to sleep when I entered. I was far too surprised to see Tom there. And then he found out a part and was curious. So I told him a little bit. And now I think I am afraid of what will happen if he-"
"Calm down, it's going to be okay. Now, what did you tell him ?"
"I told him that I am his sister and that I was the one who defeated Voldemort for real but we don't know why."
"And you sure you dont want to tell him more?"
"I wasn't planning on even telling him that I am his sister until he was at least twelve in first place, let alone that I defeated Voldemort. I will not tell him anything else than that until I think he is prepared. A lot of things happend to me alone. I wont throw him into this now. "
"Is there anything else that you want to tell me? Is there something bothering you?"
"Yes. What are you all hiding from me?" The question left my lips before I could stop it. My eyes widened.
"I don't know that youre talking about, Selene." His face was calm and honest, but I knew him far too well for his own good: he was lying.
"Well, you all just seemed so reserved in the last days, and I thought there was something you didn't want to tell me."
"Ah, about that, we actually didn't want you to go face Quirrel. We didn't know why he wanted to steal the Stone and he could've been far too dangerous. But no one had the guts to tell you" Liar…
"Well, that's answered then" I smiled. Can I got o the Burrow during the summer holiday? The twins said Molly invited me. From July of course, not June."
"Of course you can go ." I could see in his eyes that he was relieved I changed the subject. He believed me. There was the Slytherin in me…I was a good liar, it was helping me to succeed in my plans. But I was going to find aut the secret. If I could only reach that blasted word, find it out…
"Well, I'll better be going now."
After he left, I thought about something. Harry looked like he was thinking of something more when he was with me and the others. Speaking of which...
"Hey, Selene? I want to ask you something. Are you hiding something from me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, there is one thing left to clarify…why you lived here and I lived with the Dursleys?"
"Oh, right. Well, no one ever survived to the Killing Curse, so they thought I was more like a walking timebomb. Ready to die or something at any moment. You were safer there, no matter what."
His face paled, finding out that I could've died a long time ago with him not even knowing he had a sister.
"Oh, I…I'm sorry, I didn't know…"
"It's okay, there wasn't anyone to tell you that, and I just forgot. It was a long time ago…now we're togheter."
"Now, I'll try to make Madame Pomfrey let me go. I'm going insane being locked up here. I'll catch up with y'all. We'll meet at lunch. Ok?"
"Ok." He said and headed up to the common room.
"Why was I such a jerk? There had to be a reason for us to live separately. I could've lost her and not even know..."
"Poppy! "
"Yes, sweetie ?"
"Can I go now? We have a tradition to continue."
"Hmm...ok. But you'll come back later for a consultation."
"Ok!" I shouted, already on the other side of the big room.
I ran as fast as I could, eager to see what song they thought of this time.
As I entered the room, everyone was already on their feet. Harry arrived a few moments before me and everyone was bombarding him with questions. I was careful to slip the gossip that Harry was the one to defeat Quirrell and Voldemort. From what they knew, I never even was there.
After everyone calmed down, we started eating. I sat between Fred and George.
"Fellow pranksters."
"Our great..."
"...and venerable master and..."
"...two times defeater..."
"...of the Dark Lord."
Just before the desserts appeared, a lone owl let a crimson envelope fall in front of me.
At that sight, everyone's heads jerked towards me, impatient to know this day's song, the one that was about to be sung all day long through the halls of Hogwarts.
As I opened the envelope, it screamed:"THE WORLD CAN BE A NASTY PLACE..."
"Boys, is this song a suggestion for me?"
"We, maybe, although..."
"...that doesn't really work..."
"...with the Dark Lord"
Nevertheless, we started singing, happy, with full stomachs, ready for desert:
The world can be a nasty place
You know it, I know it, yeah
We don't have to fall from grace
Put down the weapons you fight with
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now
We're running out of time
Chasing our lies
Everyday a small piece of you dies
Always somebody
You're willing to fight, to be right
Your lies are bullets
Your mouth's a gun
And no war and anger
Was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you're fighting
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now
Your lies are bullets
Your mouth's a gun
No war and anger
Was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you're fighting
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now
Go ahead, go ahead now
