Chapter 23:Complications
I had to be more and more careful than ever because everyone in the school was digging deeper into the story of the defeat of Quirrell. It looked more like they were professional detectives than anything else, finding inconsistencies in the story and demanding to know more details. But every time someone tried to assault Harry with questions, I saved him. It was even worse than before, having to take care of Harry keeping the secrets, not only me. But I felt like it was better. I had my brother back...somehow. I knew I had to tell him sometime, but after I found out what was hidden from me, and maybe after he found out more by himself.
I was outside talking to a llittle snake from the lake uder my favorite tree.
So they do speak when there's no human around there?
Well, not really. The merepeople niw speak something between their language and human language. The constant presence of teen wizards and witches round the lake affected them.
Well, then-
"What do..."
"...we have here ?"
"A little hero..."
"...hiding from the spot light?"
"Really, that's the best you could do?"
"Well, we were just..."
"...wondering what did you..."
"...tell Harry more precisely?"
"Ok...I just told him that he's my brother and I defeated Voldemort and I was a walking time bomb, and that's why he lived there and I lived here. That's all. But why you wanted to know?"
"We wanted to know if..."
"...it will be weird or funny..."
"...when they meet."
"When who meets?"
"We told Drakey that..."
"...your brother doesn't let..."
"...you date him."
"And then we told..."
"...Harry that you're gonna..."
"...marry Malfoy."
"YOU DID WHAT?!!! YOU TWO, COMPLETE UTTER IDIOTS!!!"
They both started laughing madly, and fell on the grass, without breathing.
"What the bloody hell is so funny?"
"Well, we wanted to..."
"...know how you would..."
"...react, flaming hair Sellie."
As I realized it, my hair turned back normal.
"Ok, so it was a joke, but what's up with that marrying thing anyway?"
They looked at each other.
"You really..."
"...don't know? I mean..."
"...you grew up in..."
"...the Wizarding World."
"Yeah, but this kind of things...never thought of them. So tell me."
"Well, you know how the..."
"...Muggles have those promise rings?"
"Yeah."
"In the pureblood tradition, if a boy..."
"...gives a girl jewelry, it's like..."
"...a promise ring."
"Oh, you're talking about the bracelet?"
"Of course. What else could..."
"...we be talking about?"
"Oh...no, he didn't really gave it to me, his mother and mum made it in their school years. She thought it was time to become mine. Although she said something about soulmates."
"So, how did you..."
"...do in your exams?"
"Perfect scores."
"Of course."
"And you two? "
"I think we..."
"...did acceptable for mum."
"Then it's perfect."
"Now, shall we make the..."
"...best out of our last..."
"...week at Hogwarts this year?"
"How else?"
But just as we tried to get inside and to the Gryffindor tower, we were stopped by Sev.
"Mr Weasley and Mr Weasley, you are free to go."
"Thank you professor, but..."
"...we want to wait here for our friend."
Sending them a death glare, he turned to me.
"Se...Miss Povans, your presence is demanded in the headmaster's study. I assume you two will not follow her there..."
Fred and George sent me encouraging looks and headed to the common room. We walked up the stairs and then got carried by the gargoyle up to the study.
There, Minnie and Dumbledore were trying to convince each other to do something.
"...no, you tell her."
"You are closer to her."
"You're the headmaster."
"maybe she won't even remember."
"yeah, who knows."
"Remember what? Why did you call me here?"
"Selene dear, we have something to tell you..."
"Since your Defense against the Dark Arts teacher is no longer in service, we had to find someone else."
"And we found the famous Gilderoy Lockhart. But he can only teach till Christmas because he has to go to France to get rid of some misbehaving trolls after that."
"So ?"
"Well, we found someone else to teach after that."
"Well, who is it ?"
"Remus Lupin." Minnie said, a serious look on her face. Sev grimaced. On the other hand, I jumped on the spot.
"Remus is coming here? Really? Haven't seen him in ages."
"Damn, she remembers him" Dumbledore thought.
"And why shouldn't I remember him ?" I caught him off guard with that.
"Ummm...nothing. Just, be calm, we don't want anyone finding out the secret, do we?"
"No."
"Ok then. That was it. You can go now ."
Just as I stepped outside the study and the door closed behind me, I stopped there.
"You know, there is a high possibility that they know you were here."
"How on earth..."
"...do you do that?"
"Please, I spent 3 years with you. That's a piece of cake. Now let's go to lunch."
I was starting to get nervous that now that Harry knew about me, he could start to suspect something based on the songs I was receiving, but his mind and face were as oblivious as ever as the crimson envelope shouted:LIKE A SMALL BOAT, ON THE OCEAN
So I let the problems aside and joined the Great Hall chorus
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me
They were right, I was a fighter. I will fight for my memories because I deserve them. I lost a lot if people along with them. But uncle Moony was coming to Hogwarts, and I would get him back, whatever happens.
A/N: Thanks so much for reading. I hope my plan to combine the second and third book will work, I got solutions for most of the problems already. Do you like the idea ?
