A/N: Revelations ahead. Hope you'll like it. Here's another chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 45: Scars
Well, I could only say that Blaise was a really good friend. In a matter of days, we became really close, even if that was angering the twins, because "Selene, you can't trust any Slytherin like that!"
He told me about all the six fathers he had, and how he tought the seventh won't last too much either, and about his friendship with Draco over the years. Like most purebloods, they began being friends because of their parents, but eventually their friendship grew really strong. He kept his promise and didn't tell anyone about our secret, and by the looks of it, Draco trusted his friend with his life.
"But Sel…"
"Stop it! You don't even know him. Can you stop trying to convince me he's bad? Draco knows him since they were three and they went through bad and good times together."
"Yeah, but that's not just…"
"…his secret, it's yours too. And why would…"
"…he have a reason to keep your secrets too?"
"Look, just because you don't want to even meet him, that doesn't mean I can't be friends with him. He's really nice and we're good friends now that I know that he knows about us. He's not like the other Slytherins. Really."
"Look, we just want…"
"…to protect you from anything…"
"…that could badly hurt you."
"Just because I hadn't been showered in excessive protection because Harry wasn't here and didn't know about me, that doesn't mean that you two have to develop the bigger brothers syndrome. I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself." I said even though I knew it wasn't really like that. I needed them before, in various ocassions, but this wasn't like that. I trusted Blaise and I had a really good feeling about him. He was a nice boy, not mean or anything.
Next friday, I was called into the Headmaster's office again after lunch. Apparently, they wanted to talk to me about the Horcrux thing.
"No, Severus, we won't tell her that.She's far too young to know about the Horcrux, let alone that, and-"
As I entered, the conversation suddently stopped. I was so tired of not knowing what the hell is wrong with me…
But eventually they started talking again, this time with me.
"Selene, look, we know that somehow, some of your memories resurfaced. And we want you to know that we had to hide them in order to protect you. We didn't want you to suffer even more and didn't know how you'd receive those kind of news."
"I want to know something. In one of the memories, you said something about the others. Are there more Horcruxes of Voldemort besides the two of us?"
Dumbledore looked at me. "Well, out of a memory I got from someone, we found out he wanted to make seven" my eyes widened in horror "because seven is the most powerful magical number. Well, more like he wanted to make six, so his soul would have been split into seven. But that night, he unknowingly made two more. So now he has eight Horcruxes."
"But, can we find out where they are? And how we can destroy them?"
"Well, I belive you already found one. You see, Tom had a diary back into his school years, one he held close to him all the time. He tought he could leave his…mark in the school. But you destroyed it not even two months ago."
"The diary…it was a Horcrux? That means-wait. Why couldn't I touch it? It nearly killed me when I put my hand on it."
"Well, besides the fact that it has a lot of spells on it, your powers might be opposite to it and that's why."
"Wait…in a memory you said that my powers are consuming it. Is it real? I mean, the Horcrux in me, is it being destroyed my my powers?"
"Well, we thought that, but then we found out that there is-" Sev recieved a glare from Minnie and shut up suddently. What was the bloddy thing?
I sighted. "Well, I guesss I should get going. I have to meet up with the twins. Bye."
"Have a good day!"
I walked fast through the castle heading to the Gryffindor common room, but I was stopped in my tracks when two pairs of arms caught me. They were too small to be the twins. I turned around to see Draco and Blaise, the secon one confused, and the first one slightly shocked.
"What has-" I started but Blaise interrupted me.
"Let's go to an empty classroom before Draco explodes."
I nodded and we found an empty classroom and put up privacy wards.
"Now, tell me what happened to you. You look completly puzzled Drake."
"Selene, just out of curiosity, do you happen to have three brownish spots on your left knee since you were 9?" I wondered how he knew that.
"Yes, but I have no ideea from where. I just woke up one day with them."
"And, about 10 cm under your right clavicle, do you have a straight scar? About 4 cm or something?"
"Yeah, I dropped a knife when I was 6, but I'm fine." Dracos eyes widened.
"But how did you know about them?" He didn't answer, just started pacing back and forth. I looked confused at Blaise.
"What happened to him?" He shrugged
"No idea. He won't tell me. He only told me that he realized something bad."
"Draco, what happened? Are you ok?"
"I think there is something we didn't know, and it's not exactly the most exciting thing ever." He said when he stopped pacing.
"What is it?" He didn't answer, just came closer to me and Blaise and undid the first three buttons of his shirt and right there, shining in the light, I saw a white scar under his right clavicle, just like mine was. My eyes widened when I realized what it could mean.
"I reckon the spots were from you then? " he nodded
"I fell from my broom when I was nine. Scraped my knee and the spots are more like scars remaining."
"Draco" I said after some moments of silence. He looked up at me, calmer and not so freaked out as before " do you think that-that thing is considerd as a scar? "
"Well, it's more burned than ink so…"
"Oh, shit. That's not good."
Blaise, who looked lost until now, seemed to catch on what was going on and gasped.
"Draco, you don't mean…you wouldn't."
"He has to Blaise. If he doesn't take the Dark Mark when oldy Voldy comes back, his family will be in danger. And we all know he'll come, eventually."
A/N: I'm baaack. :)) I think I'll write the rest of the year in two chapters, there's only the meeting with Sirius left. Hope you liked the chapter, I certainly enjoyed writing it after this idea with the scars struck me.
