Chapter 18 murder of truth



(Thought it sounded catchy. I don't know if it has anything to do with the chapter. Some part of the title does.)

The class went on talking to firenze, a centaur that helped Harry in the forbidden forest the first year he came to hogwarts. "do yer have any questions fer firenze?" hagrid asked smiling. Lavender rose her hand. "Lavender." Hagrid said pointing to her. "how long have the centaurs lived in the forbidden forest?" she asked. "Before hogwarts was created." Firenze replied. firenze suddenly looked at Avalon hugging her legs who was starring into the forest with her icy blue eyes. They all stared at Avalon. "Avalon. you alright?" hagrid asked with concern. Avalon didn't reply. "THAT is the Avalon. one and only Avalon?" firenze asked suddenly. "Yea. The only one I know." hagrid replied. "I must go now." Firenze said with a shaken voice as he rode into the forest. "Aw man! Avalon! did you kill a centaur too?" patty Parkinson growled. Avalon looked at her as her eyes began to glow silently blue. She blinked still looking at her as her eyes went normal and stared at the forest again. After class, of talking about what they should learn about next, they all walked up to the castle to lunch. "Avalon. are you alright? What happened last night?" Harry asked very concerned. "I don't remember." Avalon replied. the first time she talked all day. they said nothing much after that. Harry had a bad feeling about everything that was going on. Being 16 wasn't the coolest thing in the world. Tomorrow was going to be the quidditch match, would Avalon be up to it? "So Ron. when's your family coming?" hermione asked breaking the silence.

"tonight. they'll be here tomorrow morning though. Meeting up with dumbledore and stuff." Ron replied. "Boy. I hope we win." Ron thought out loud. "Yea. me too." Harry replied. the day went on as any ordinary day except Avalon wasn't acting normal. That night, Harry had an awful dream about what happened to his parents more clearer than he ever had. It went past what he usually dreamed about. Being left there alone as he saw how voldemort was confused and beaten and disappeared as hagrid came and picked him up after talking to Sirius about the motorcycle. Then all of a sudden, he woke up with a sweat as he heard a low yell coming from the common room. Everyone else had woken in the room. They all ran down the steps to see what happened. There were two people in the middle of the common room. One of them was Avalon. another was a first year Harry didn't know. She was strangling him with blood trickling down her mouth and on her hands. The boy was bleeding from his neck and wrists, as was Avalon. Avalon threw the boy to the wall and looked at everyone showing her teeth, that had fangs hissing. Everyone got scared and ran to their rooms and came back carrying their wands.

One boy was about to do a curse on her when Harry jumped in front of Avalon and did the counter to it. "Stop it!" Harry shouted. He turned to Avalon that just looked at him with her icy blue eyes and pale skin with crimson lips. "Avalon. what happened to you?" Harry asked worried. Avalon stepped back shaking her head as she ran out of the portrait hole into professor mcgonagal and snape. "Severus! Give her the potion now!" professor mcgonagal stuttered as she ran into the common room and looked at the boy. "he's still alive." She muttered as she waved her wand picking him up and walking out. "You all! Go to bed!" she hissed as the portrait closed. But it opened again as professor mcgonagal stuck her head wanting Harry. Harry came silently as snape carried Avalon in his arms to the hospital wing, as the first year floated silently next to them. They soon reached the hospital wing as snape came her a clear green liquid and that cleared her body of the blood. "What's wrong with her professor?" Harry asked soon after he saw her fall asleep closing her eyes slowly. "She's been bitten by a vampire Harry." Professor mcgonagal said slowly. After that, dumbledore popped in next to Avalon. "A vampire? Who?" Harry asked. "That's the problem. We do not know. Did she tell you anything Harry? About anything unparticular?" dumbledore asked. Harry shook his head. "No. she's been quiet all day. is he going to be alright?" Harry asked looking at the boy. "Yes. We came just in time." mcgonagal replied looking at him. "What's going to happen to Avalon?" Harry asked worried. "Nothing. she's just going to stay in another room away from harm at night. The room behind the bear." Dumbledore explained. "She knows of what she's become. she tries not too. She told me, but something happens, and she can't control herself. Which is usually the case." He added.

"so how can she go into the sun?" Harry asked. "A special sort of vampire bit her. a royal vampriss. a female vampire. That has royal blood, a princess if you may say." Dumbledore replied. "only natural vampires can change a human into a vampire. The other s are ok in a couple of days, just lost lots of blood. Something madam pomfrey can't fix." Dumbledore replied. "I want you to tell no one Harry. you can Ron and hermione. since they are her friends as well. but no one else. If any one asks, tell them professor mcgonagal only wanted to see you about a homework assignment that could not wait." Dumbledore explained. Harry nodded. "Minerva, please escort Mr. Potter back to the common room please." Dumbledore asked kindly. Mcgonagal nodded and Harry and her left. Harry and mcgonagal walked in silence till they got to the common room. "password?" the fat lady asked. "magic spoon." Mcgonagal said as it opened and Harry walked in. it was deserted, so Harry walked to his room and as he sat down in bed, Ron opened hid sheets wanting to know what they wanted with you. "Tell you tomorrow." Harry replied looking at the other guys that could be up at the moment. Ron got the idea cause he went to bed right after.

The next day, after breakfast, Ron's family arrived as Harry, Ron, hermione, and Avalon were walking to the common room. "Ron! Oh Ron!" a voice called. Ron turned as he turned pale. "Trish." Ron muttered as a tall, thin blonde with pigtails and bright violet eyes, and tan skin with broad shoulders ran up to Ron and hugged him. She looked like a model. She had a perfect body. "Hi Trish." Ron moaned. "And who are you 3?" Trish asked in a squeaky voice looking at Harry, hermione, and Avalon. "Oh. right. This is hermione granger, Harry potter, and Avalon O'Connell." Ron explained. "Oh my god! Are you serious?" Trish asked widening her eyes. Everyone around thought she was talking about Harry, they al lgot a huge surprise when Trish began to shake Avalon's hand furiously. "This is such an honor! I never thought that my dearest cousin would be friends with a legend, an idol, a saint!" Trish said letting go of Avalon's hand and bowing. Avalon began to fell her hand as she winced whispered ow silently. "What do you mean?" hermione asked. "You don't know! Wow! Everyone in America knows who Avalon is." Trish said in astonishment. "Well. everyone here knows Harry." Ron replied., "I know who he is too." Trish replied not impressed. "I think he's just a lucky guy that's all." Trish replied. "Wow. Cool. First one yet!" Harry said smiling. "But I can't believe this. wow. Avalon O'Connell right in front of me." Trish began. "What'd she do that was so great?" Ron asked. "What? Well. she saved people from dying in 1692 in the Salem witch trials. And. and. she is kind, and caring, and gentle, and is perfectly great, and she saved Harry potter's life from you-know- who! And sacrificed her own life to protect his." Trish explained. "I know she did that. I was there." Harry blurted. "Right. Your Harry potter." Trish said. "I am." Harry replied. "Uh-huh. Harry looks more pathetic than you. You don't look pathetic dear. Plus, he is more younger. you look what? 17? 18?" Trish asked. "16. and I AM Harry potter." Harry replied. W"hat ever." Trish said rolling her eyes. "How could Avalon stopped people from ding in 1692? She wasn't even born!" Ron explained.

"She's a reincarnation of Avalon O'Connell. Didn't you know that? You knew that. didn't Avalon?" Trish asked. Avalon shook her head in confusion. "hm. dumbledore's probably waiting till she's 17." Trish thought. "Hey potter! Who's you new fan club?" a familiar voice called. "Who's that dweeb?" Trish asked. "Draco malfoy." Ron replied. "What are you talkin about kid? That's not Harry potter." Trish yelled. "Yea. right. Sure he's not. Mr. Famous potter denying his identity." Malfoy sneered as he walked off. "Oh my god! You ARE Harry potter?" Trish asked. "Yea." Harry replied showing her his scar. "wow. cool." Trish replied looking over at Ron. "You never told me your friends with two famous people!" she barked. "oops. Must of slipped my mind." Ron shrugged. "Trish. We're bout to go see professor dumbledore. Do you want to come?" her mom asked. "no. I'm going to hang with them." Trish said pointing to Ron. "On no! that's ok. go see dumbledore and the castle." Ron begged. "no. I can see it this way." Trish said looking around. She began to walk down the hall skipping as she looked at everything. "Nightmares do come alive." Ron muttered as they walked up to her and explained the place.

"so. Trish. Tell us about America. Is it cool?" hermione asked. "Yea it's great. The stature of liberty, the empire state building, Niagara falls, golden gate bridge, it's great." Trish explained. "Cool." Hermione replied. "I've been there once. I was only 9 though. I went to new York city. To see my uncle." Hermione explained. "cool." Trish replied. after lunch, everyone went to the quidditch field for the quidditch match between gryffindor and slytherin. since lee Jordan couldn't the commentary along side with professor mcgonagal, his little brother Chris, a 7th year, began doing it. Everyone sat in the locker room as wood began to explain what to do. People were looking at Avalon nervously as she blew a bubble with her gum making everyone jump when It popped. "ok. ready? Lets kick some slytherin butt." Wood said clapping his hand.
