Chapter 10:

Last time:

"Why don't you hate me?" Harry asked his mom.

**************************

"Why should I? Just learning that you were alive was enough for me. You don't need to prove yourself to me."

"Why didn't you know if I was alive?"

"Please don't hate me. I hated that decision before, then, and now. That was the worst decision I've ever made. They just made me think it was for the better, all I ever wanted was to see you after that day." She chocked as she told her story. She was sobbing into Harry's hair by the time she was done, trying desperately to touch all of the boy at once. He just sat there in shock.

"I was sacrificed?" Harry gasped.

"He told me that he thought you would live." Lily screamed. "He didn't even look sad when he said there wasn't a body!" Harry's clothes bunched up in her fists as she pulled him closer to her. Harry didn't know what to do, so he just sat there.

"What did you do to her!?" Was the alarmed cry from the doorway. Harry looked up to see the girl, Kimber, standing there.

"I didn't do anything. In case you haven't noticed, I'm the one being held!" He yelled. "I have no idea what to do!"

"What did your, er, guardians do?"

"They punched me and told me to shut the fuck up! I don't feel like doing that and I don't know what she's doing to me!"

"She hugging you?" The girl said sarcastically.

"I know that, but why? Simeon always hugged me when I scared him, sometimes, and my girlfriends hug me to make out. Some of my foster parents hugged me, sometimes, and I've seen girls hug each other when they see each other." He pondered. "So why is she doing it?"

"She feels like it! People do that!"

"Oh." He was feeling very stupid, but wasn't going to say anything.

"What's 'making out'?" She asked. Harry's jaw dropped.

"You know, making out, kissing, I like french the most."

"Like snogging."

"Snogging? Sounds like something a pig would say."

"Whatever. I'm Kimberly Potter."

"I thought Kimberly shortened to Kim, not Kimber."

"That's not a very good name, Kim?" She asked. "Nope, I'm Kimber."

"Spec! Wait until-" Simeon stopped the moment he walked in. "What's up?" He asked, when he saw the crying Lily.

"Nothing." She sniffed, wiping her eyes. "What brought you two here?"

"I came here because dad said you were here. He told me about him." She gave a pointed look to Harry.

"Spec, I came to tell you how messed up this place is. The chicks are covered. Long loose robes, all of them. Reveals nothing." He gave a suffering sigh. (AN: Harry has the pics of Miccy. Simeon has the pics of Kayla.) "But Kayla let me take a few pics of her a couple nights ago."

"Oh? So?" He asked as he slipped out of his mother's firm embrace. "I have Miccy. One for the last day of school and another of the pool. That who-ah-girl Sam gave me her picture and I lost my appitite. When will she get the hint and loose a few hundred pounds? Probably pregnant, again." Simeon pulled out a few pictures.

"Remember that time she got you wasted at that party?"

"Don't remind me." He groaned. "Pics, now." He held his hand out.

"Where's Miccy?" Harry signed and searched his pockets. They exchanged photos and Harry's eyes scanned the figure. She had blonde hair and her figure was that of a supermodel. One picture was where she was in skimpy underwear, the other was nude. "How much did you pay for these?"

"You doubt me? She gave that one to me, that one, I took the other one. What about you?"

"Well, she gave one to me and that photo geek, Richy, did the other one. I told him she needed a natural picture." He said. "She even found out when the stupid geek asked if she liked it."

"Well, you're still alive. What'd she do?"

"She said it was a very nice picture and quote, 'you actually used your brains for once so you can keep that as an award.' unquote." Harry smirked at the look of disbelief on Simeon's face. "You have to admit, she is always hounding me about 'not working up to my potential'. I swear, someone came up to me after she said that one time and asked if she adopted me and became my momma. I said yes, she did, and punched him in the face."

"Is that why you called her momma for a week?" Simeon chuckled as Harry gave a cheeky grin.

"What I want to know is why she's dressed like that." He pointed to the nude girl.

"I asked her, said it would add to the thrill and she said it was kinky." He held the pictures out and they gave them back. "Dude." Simeon pointed to the girls. One looked shocked, Kimber, and the other a mix between shock and horror, Lily.

"You not telling me that you've had sex already are you?" Both boys looked at each other.

"Uh, I don't really want to talk about that. Especially to my mother." Harry chocked.

"My dad knows about my sex life." Simeon smirked, then his expression darkened. "I guess I don't have as mu-" Harry slapped his hand on the other's mouth.

"I'm not ready to talk about it." Harry said, eyeing Simeon angrily.

"As long as you talk to James before the years over." She pleaded. Harry's features became guarded.

"Why should I talk to him? He doesn't want me."

"I wonder why. You're a dirty, filthy, lying Slytherin. Most families would disown you at least we're only ashamed, you're lucky." Kimber spat.

"Well guess what, I don't give a flying fuck what you think! And don't tell me to watch my language, it won't kill anyone, I've been around it all my life. The only rule I had before coming here was survive. That meant do what ever Mr. Williams said, no question. If they could kick my ass or if they held the decision of if I live or not in their hand, I would do almost anything they asked. So don't talk about me unless you've walked in my shoes." He hissed angrily.

"Kimber! You apologize right now!" Lily demanded.

"What? It's true." She asked.

"Know what? Fuck you!" He said. "You're in Ravenclaw, the ones that wear those colors? Well how about you wear Slytherin colors, green and-" He looked to Simeon's amused face.

"Silver."

"Yeh, silver. Thanks Simeon." He snapped his fingers and Kimber turned green while her hair, eyes, lips, and nails turned silver. Her robes turned into a tie dye of green and silver swirls.

"What the-" Kimber broke off when she saw herself in the mirror. She screamed as Lily chuckled.

"And you know what? James can go around like that too." He snapped his fingers again.

"Spec, you alright? You never could do this much before." Simeon asked.

"I think it's because there's more magic here" Harry said. "I can see it and I just made it do what I wanted. Can't you see it? That is how you do those wand things, right? Aren't they just for show?" He asked, confused.

"No, people need wands." Kimber snapped. "You're just a freak!"
