"How?"
"Well, you remember when, at the end of the maze last year, how Cedric and I disappeared? Well, it was a portkey that took us directly to Voldermort." At this Neville gasped. "Don't worry, this wasn't our first meeting since I was in infant. Anyway, almost immediately he Avanda Kedavra'd Cedric, who was standing right next to me. Then, he summoned all the Death Eaters and had his servant Wormtail, prepare to return his to his original body."
"I thought he was supposed to be gone!"
"No, he's alive and now quite well. The potion used to return him needed the 'blood of an enemy' so I got a second scar from Voldermort that night," Harry continued, pulling up the sleeve of his robes, brandishing the thin, straight scar with utter disgust.
"After he had his body back, her performed both the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses on me. I fought the Imperius Curse and beat him though."
"Wow," Neville breathed, looking at Harry with newfound awe.
"You know, I've never told anyone about what happened when..." he touched the scar on his forehead.
"Well, if you don't want to talk about it don't."
"No. You told me about your parents, I'll tell you all I can remember about mine. Where do I even start? Well, first I'll tell you that for ten years I didn't know the true reason I was an orphan or how I got my scar. The muggles I lived with hated me for what I was, and never told me I was a wizard. Instead they told me it was a car crash that killed them. A car! Of course at that point I had no choice but to believe them, but in the back of my mind I knew they were lying."
Neville looked shocked.
"It gets scarier. It so happens that my dad had three great friends here at Hogwarts. Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black," Harry paused glancing apprehensively at Neville who's eyes widened. Sirius Black is not and never has been in league with Voldermort. I see you don't believe me. It's true. When I was one year old, my mum and dad when into hiding and needed a Secret Keeper to complete the Fiddles Charm. They wanted to use dad's closest friend of the three, Sirius. At the last minute they changed the Secret Keeper to Pettigrew. It was the perfect bluff, not using the powerful, boastful best friend, but the week and talentless tag along. What they hadn't planned on was the fact that Peter was Voldermort's spy. He was the one who betrayed by parents to Voldermort, not Sirius. He is still alive, contrary to popular belief. I've seen him once since I first found this out."
"Oh Lord," was all that Neville could get out.
