This chapter is for Cuz…for suffering through Herbology without us.

That was to get back at you for something, Cuz…only I can't remember what…oops?

Congrats, Laughing Girl, You finished GoF! I'm ver, ver proud! Lol…Up next: OotP! WOOOOOT!

This is a lot of Rumor debunking. I wanted to clarify a few things and make a few things known to the school (the hicky thing, etc.) and this was the only way I could. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 12 - Truths

Sitting innocently at the Gryffindor table, Frances was probably the only Slytherin who could truthfully say they were welcomed by those already seated there. Frances was somewhat of a celebrity, already. Dumping Draco put her on almost everyone's A-list.

This was only escalated when she walked into the Great Hall on none other then Harry Potter's arm, Keira on his other arm and Alexa on her other arm. Hermione had linked arms with Keira. However, as soon as the group reached the center isle, Keira, Alexa, and Hermione dropped back. The Hall stared at Harry who, oblivious as usual, was smiling down at Frances.

Now, they all sat at the table, talking and laughing like old friends. A small group of Ravenclaw girls came to the table. They looked slightly awed and intimidated by Frances and Harry sitting side by side, but one girl cleared her throat, causing Frances to turn. The Leader looked to be about old enough to be in seventh year, but the others looked like they were in Harry's year.

"Yes?" Frances said politely.

One of them stepped forward. "I was wondering…um…is it true that that hicky you gave Malfoy never goes away?"

Frances grinned wickedly. "No, but It should stay about another month and a half and after that he will always have a small star above two small dots in that spot on his neck."

Another of the girls stepped forward. "Is…is…Is-it-true-that-you-three-are-having-like-lesbian-relations-with-each-other-cause-that's-what-I-heard!"

Once they managed to sort out what she had said, the trio looked at each other with disgusted looks and at the same time shrieked, "Ewww! Gross!"

A third girl stepped up and said quietly, "Is Draco really in love with both your gay cousin, Tom, and Professor Lupin?"

Frances' jaw dropped. She finally managed to stutter, "N-no com-comment!"

The girl smiled widely. The fourth girl finally stepped forward. "Are you really going to date Sirius Black, next?"

"Um…I don't know?"

The first girl turned to Alexa. "Are you really dating Bill and Charlie Weasley at the same time?"

"I-I-No comment" Frances glanced at Alexa, who was blushing. Hmmm. Well, that sure is interesting!

The second girl turned to Keira. "Can you really make Snape blush?"

"Severus? Of Course!" Keira grinned.

Finally, the third one said, "Just one more question! Why do the Witches in Salem tell muggles they're witches, but never prove it?"

"Well…I would guess it's because they don't want to live a lie and they want to try and teach people to have a little blind faith. But I wouldn't know, as I'm not a member."

"Oh." She looked sad for a moment, and then perked up. "Well, we'll see you and Keira in Double Potions next."

They all rushed off as fast as they'd come. Frances sat in a bit of a daze, then her head jerked up and she grinned evilly. Turning to Keira, she said, "Double Potions with Professor Sev."

"That's right…I hope he's wearing Acromantula Silk Robes again, otherwise it could be very embarrassing for him. We saw what happened to my blouse."

"Yes…" Frances kissed Harry lightly on the mouth, without thinking, and stood. "We have to go to potions…I have a vial in my bag…now what did he add to it…" She muttered to Keira as they left the Hall, leaving the others very confused behind them.

Remus, at the staff table, was even more confused. First, she'd been kissing Draco. Then, she was kissing him. Now, she was kissing Harry. What was going on!
