Chapter 46: Lightning

Over the next days, I felt like I sat on a pile of needles, the revelation of the scars really shocked me. I knew that if I was going to keep getting scars in visible places, someone will figure it out. Hermione was the most probable to, because she was very bright, unlike my oblivious brother and his friend. But there was one more thing I didn't really know how it was going to go. I have never been a really quiet kid and when I fell, I fell bad. That's why I had a few more scars than the one on my knee and the one on my chest. But they were on my face or arms so I concealed them morphing. But I didn't really know how that transferred to Draco. When and if they were going to get visible and how. But if there was something I knew, it was that if mine were going to get visible, his were definitely going to be seen as well.

I was in my room with the twins, Draco and Blaise. Fred and George still didn't trust him, so they kept an eye on him whenever he was around me.

At some point though, they got up.

"Well, we have a Filch to anger..."

"...so we better get going. You'd..."

"...better be good, and you'd better..."

"...keep her safe." they said pointing at the other two boys before getting out of the room.

"Well, what do you want to do now, since it's Friday ?" I turned to them

"Exploding snap? "

"Yeah, why not."

Eventually, after about half an hour, our game was abandoned when Blaise started telling me stories about him and Draco. When he reached(in an apparently extremely embarrassing s story) the point where Draco requested a house elf to get him dress when Pansy told him they're more comfortable than pants, said boy flushed red and covered his friend's mouth with his hand. Only when the boys stopped to look at me I noticed the ginger cat on my forearm purring at them.

The rest of the night went like that, with little stories about our childhoods and laughing until we eventually fell asleep well after midnight.

I woke up on the couch, with Blaise sitting at my feet talking to Draco. I reluctantly sat, not really wanting to wake up but knowing that I have to.

"Morning boys" I greeted and let out a huge yawn and looked at their faces. They were looking at me sad.

"What happened?" I asked

"You tell her" Blaise looked at Draco

"No, you tell her, you're the new one" Blaise sighted

"Selene, why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what ?"

"That you're Potter's sister. " My eyes widened

"How-"

"When you're sleeping, your morphing washes off. We saw all of them."

I froze. That meant they saw it.

"Look, I understand, you needed to trust me first but what the hell is that on your neck?

Oh, God. There were only four people who knew about the blasted thing and they were teachers. If I had the chance to choose no one would've ever known about it though. It was a horror for mefor it to even be there. But it was there, so I had nothing to say about that.

"Well? What is it?" I got up from the couch I as sitting on and sighted, heading for the window.

"It's…not only on my neck" I said so quietly that I would've been surprised they even heard me, had the silence not have been so heavy. I could hear them shift in their places before Blaise asked in a fearful voice: "What do you mean?"

I walked up to them and sat down. I morphed the thing so it was visible again and pulled my blouse down a little under my clavicle. They gasped.

"It's not even just that much. It ends above my heart."

"What-"

" but- how-"

I could tell they were struggling to find the right words, terror in their eyes.

"When I caught Voldemorts curse, it didn't kill me, but instead did this. I guess my body and the spell toghether created the effect of a lightning. Maybe that's why that part of our house is demolished. It affected the structure. And yeah, I guess that explains this."

"Who-does anybody else know of this?"

"Well, some of the teachers know, but I haven't told anyone. You weren't supposed to find out either." I said rather venomously.

"Why not? It's part of you. You can't change it."

"I'm ugly" I stated simply

"You're lying" I turned surprised to the boy who hasn't said anything in a while but broke my walls so easily.

"Don't be so surprised. I'm good at reading people. Drake however, isn't. Now answer the question. Why?" I sighted mentally cursing about Blaise's talent to read people.

"I- all my secrets seem to be found out and that despairs me. And I don't want others to find out my secrets cause if they do, maybe I'll discover other things about myself and at the moment, that doesn't really sound exciting at all. And I really am ugly with that blasted thing on me."

I was surprised at how much of my mind I poured out to the two boys and I stormed out of the room.

I sat in a hidden corner of the library, staring at the lightning scar spread across my neck and chest, looking like roots(it was actually beautiful if you thought about it)A/N: this kind of scars actually exist, they really are beautiful, I recommend you google it)until I noticed three figures getting out of the castle: Harry, Ron and Hermione. I shouldn't stay here an pity myself, I should go with them. I ran out of the library and to the Entrance, jumping three steps at a time. By the time I caught up with the three of them, my checks were flustered and my heart was racing from the fast running.

"Hey guys, where are you going? "

"To the lake maybe, you know, that huge tree with roots above the ground. It's nice place to relax. You coming? " Ron asked

"Yeah, why not. I could use a bit of relaxing" As soon as we started to walk, Hermione held my arm so we were a few steps behind the boys and then whispered to me so they wouldn't hear

"Where were you last night? I was so worried and I wanted to come find you but the Fat Lady wouldn't let me get out and the trolls put toto guard her weren't helping either. I even considered waking the boys up."

"Mione, calm down. I am fine. Just Malfoy and his usual bullying. I ran from him and his goons and hid in a classroom. I fell asleep there."

"Well, thank God you're fine. You never know with a murderer on loose."

Our plans to relax were soon cut off by Draco tough when he appeared out of nowhere with Crabbe and Goyle behind him

"Drake. If something, the story is last night you tried to bully me or something and I ran into a classroom"

"Ummm...ok..."

"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry snapped before Draco even opened his mouth.

"Why so hostile Potter? Look, you got company. The mudbloods and the weasel. "

"Shut it Malfoy"

"Wow Granger. I thought the smartass was defending Potter. She got scared last night and you took her place? "

Well, I could say what happened next was at least...unexpected. I heard the crack before I saw Draco holding his nose in his hand and he ran off. Hermione was standing there with a proud smile on her face.

"Wow Hermione, that was brilliant." Ron spoke up.

"Selene, what was Malfoy saying about last night? "

"Never mind," I said as we walked back towards the castle. "It's not important"

Harry didn't have time to ask anything else. We heard a growl at the same time Scabbers bit Ron's finger and ran off. Ron followed him and caught him. A large black dog appeared out of nowhere and dragged Ron under the Whomping Willow by his leg. After being hit by the tree, we managed to follow the dog into the Shreiking Shack. Well, I guess they were going to meet Sirius. And from what they knew, I knew nothing about him. Well, it was going to be interesting.

We entered the first room and found Ron there, on the floor, looking terrified at the door.

"Ron. Where's the dog."

"There's no dog Harry. It's an animagus. It's him..." Ron said trembling.

The door suddenly closed and behind it appeared Sirius, looking maniacally at us.

I guess I was finally going to find out why was he at Hogwarts after all...
