Chapter4: Prejudice to the Siren
The four Maurauders took a seat near the fireplace in the Griffindor common room. Only Erik Finnigan and Larry Patil were in there, besides them, playing chess. Larry was losing marvelously. Remus took interest in watching the game for awhile but got bored; Larry was a hopeless player.
He sat down on a gigantic beanbag near the 3 other Maurauders. James and Sirius were playing exploding snap. Peter was quietly munching on a large slab of Honeydukes chocolate.
The round of exploding snap was quick to finish-James was too sharp. The boys began talking about random things. Somehow, their conversation ended up talking about beast mix wizard blood. This lead to talking about Lynnie.
"What's so bad about being half siren?" asked James, not really understanding the current discusion.
"Sirens are feared as their voices & beauty can enchant many things & most of the sirens are under the command of Voldermort. Many were killed, now there are only 2 colonies of remaining sirens in the world." said Remus knowledgebly, looking sympathetic.
"Wow..." muttered Sirius.
"Try to immagine living your whole life knowing what might happen if that someone knew your birth you might be killed. That's probably what Lynn feels." remarked Remus.
"But she's not evil, why would they kill her?" asked Peter.
"Prejudice mainly. Alot despise sirens now, and would kill her like they would to a pure siren. If she isn't killed, she's in store for a life filled with people treating her with spite and malice." stated Remus.
"She really is trusting us with alot...." mumbled Sirius, looking thoughtful. "We can't let her down."
