Chapter Eight: Confessions
Since I had took Allyssa's Polyjuice Potion bottle a few weeks ago, I had managed to find a spell to determine who the owner was, and what it was used for, meaning I would be able to see what person it changes you into. I knew it was Allyssa's, but I had to be sure before I told Harry, I knew it would hurt him, but he deserved to know the truth. He had gone out for the day, again with Allyssa, so luckily I would be able to perform the spell on my own first before showing it to Harry. I walked into the kitchen and placed the bottle on the table. I stood back from it and cast the spell.
"Spellius Extractia!" I shouted.
The bottle began to spin around very fast. It made a whistling noise before shooting up into the air where it froze. It stayed like that for a while and I thought the spell wasn't going to work, but then it appeared. A giant blue screen was projected off the top of the bottle and I watched as colours and patterns swirled to form pictures. There she was, the two timing little cow, Allison Richards. I watched as words appeared below her picture. I read them out loud to myself.
"Allison Richards, Department of Muggle Studies at the Ministry of Magic"
I watched as the picture changed showing her taking the Polyjuice Potion and turning into Allyssa. Again more words formed below her picture and I read them out loud.
"Allyssa Williams, formally Allison Richards, Department of Muggle Studies at the Ministry of Magic"
Then the screen vanished and the bottle landed with a smack back on the kitchen table. I was speechless. It wasn't the fact that I was right, but the fact that I had to show this to Harry. I could just imagine how hurt he would be, but I knew he had to see it, so I decided to tell him that night, although I wasn't looking forward to it, to say the least. From then on, the day went by pretty quickly considering that I was going to show this to Harry tonight. At about half past seven pm, the flat door opened and in walked Harry, with a goofy grin on his face. I couldn't help but smile back at him as he shut the door, considering that I was going to break his heart any moment now.
"Hey Harry, good day out?" I asked walking over and sitting down next to him on the couch.
"Yep and you?"
"Yeah, I visited my mum and dad this morning, you know, just to see if things were ok at home"
"That sounds nice" he said smiling at me.
"Yeah it was, listen Harry, I need to get something of my chest"
His smile dropped and he looked at me with concern.
"What is it Mione are you ok?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, its about you and our relationship with Allyssa"
"What about it?" he asked.
"Well, I found, well rather, took this out of her bag when we went out shopping a few weeks ago"
"But, you couldn't of, Allyssa went to visit her cousin on that day, remember I told you?"
"I know, but the fact is, Allyssa isn't who you think she is" I said timidly, staring Harry in the eye.
"What do you mean?"
"Here" I said putting the bottle on the coffee table in front of us. "Spellius Extractia!" I said pointing my wand back at the bottle.
Once again, the bottle span, made a whistling noise and flew up into the air. It froze again before displaying the same blue screen I had witnessed earlier this morning. I watched Harry's face as he went pale as he watched the picture change into the girl Harry thought he knew. Once it had finished and the bottle dropped onto the floor, I looked over at him again. He didn't move.
"Harry, are you ok?" I asked as I placed my hand on his arm.
"Its not true" he whispered.
"What?"
"ITS NOT TRUE!" he screamed at me as he stood up.
I could feel the tears start up in my eyes, and I couldn't hold them back so I let them fall. Harry stood there looking at me with a serious expression on his face. I stood up and looked him in the eye once more.
"It is Harry, do you honestly think I would lie to you? You're my best friend and I love you in more ways than you'll ever know!" I shouted and ran back to my bedroom. I slammed the door shut and put a locking charm on it so I wouldn't be disturbed. I had just destroyed my friendship with Harry, and in the process, revealed that I loved him in more ways than one, he must of thought that I was an idiot. I ran over to my bed, drew the curtains around it ,and drifted off into an uneasy sleep, the tears still racking my body.
I woke up late the next morning. I had a smile on my face until the words of last night came flooding back into my mind. The pillow was still damp from where I had been crying. I climbed out of the bed and got washed and dressed for the day. I knew I was the last person Harry would want to see at this moment in time, but I walked over to his room anyway, I needed to talk to him.
His door was wide open so I walked straight in. I was surprised to find it empty though. I walked around the room and even looked inside his bathroom, but he wasn't there. I checked every part of the flat but he was nowhere to be found. I walked back into the kitchen and found a note on the table. I picked it up and read it out loud to myself. I also found that the Polyjuice Potion bottle was gone as well.
'Mione,
Gone out for the morning, need to clear my head and figure out a few things, be back home in time for dinner.
See you soon
Harry'
I put the note back down and all I could hope for was that Harry didn't go and do anything stupid. I hoped that he was o.k. The day passed pretty slowly considering, what had happened last night and the fact that I was waiting for Harry to get back. At around half one pm, he arrived home. The door swung open and he walked in, his eye's lifeless and his face emotionless. Something had definitely happened.
"Hi Harry, are you o.k.?" I asked walking over and standing in front him.
"Fine" he said very flatly.
"What's the matter?" I asked, trying to sound sorry for last night.
"Nothing, you were right, Allyssa was really Allison Richards and she was cheating on me behind my back" he said, again still in the same flat tone.
"Harry, I thought it would be best if you knew the truth, that's all" he put up his hand to stop me talking.
"I know, I know, its just that, well, I thought she really liked me and all"
"Its o.k. Harry"
I gave him a hug, but he didn't respond, instead he just stood there, his arms by his side. I pulled away from him and gave him an encouraging smile, he did, however, respond to this, but I only got a little smile back, and his eyes were still lifeless and his face then went back to emotionless. He walked past me and went straight to his bedroom, shutting the door behind him. What Harry needed now was some time alone, I had to give him that much.
