Harry burst into the Gryffindor common room with Hermione and Ron right behind him.
"Harry, we are only saying that we don't know for sure if this is all made up. She just might be telling the truth." Hermione said. Both she and Ron were convinced that what Leona has said was the truth that she didn't want to follow in her father's footsteps.
"So now you two have turned against me too I see," Harry said as he ran up to the boy's dormitory.
"We aren't turning against you Harry," Ron called after him.
Leona walked to Dumbledore's office. She was shaking from the cold and left a wet trail as she walked.
In a dazed state, Leona had made it up to Professor Dumbledore's office, "Professor, I wish to show everyone the truth," Dumbledore placed a blanket around Leona's shoulders. Instantly she began to feel the chill leave her. "Isn't there a way to show a great group of people in a large room, like the Great Hall, memories using a pensive?"
"Yes there is, but are you sure this is what you want to do?" Dumbledore asked?
Leona nodded her head.
In the middle of the next day, all the students were called to the Great Hall. Leona stood with her back to the room, in front of the teacher's table. People started to fill the room and sit down. When the last person entered, Filch closed the door and Leona turned around. This was the first time many of the students had seen her in the Great Hall since the day her secret of her family came out.
Leona looked around the room gaining her voice. She was terrified to relive these memories, but she knew she had to.
Harry looked up at the girl whom he had put all his trust into. He had loved her; she was unlike any girl he had ever known. Yet she was the daughter of the most terrible man in history and she hadn't even told him. He had to find out with a forced confession from her. Now he was highly suspicious about the meeting.
Leona took a deep breath, "For the past few weeks I have been staying the shadows, not talking to anyone and not having any contact with you. I knew that's what you wanted. I also know that you would all feel a lot more comfortable if I was gone. Well too bad, I'm staying. Since no one seems to want to listen to me I have asked Professor Dumbledore for the use of his pensive," Leona stepped off to the side and pointed to the bowl behind her on the table, "Memories you can't changed. And since this only holds ones memories, I figured this would be the best way to convince all of you that my word is true. I really don't want to do this because most of these I have been living out in my dreams for a long time now." Leona turned and put her wand to her temple. She pulled a silver wisp out of her temple and put it into the pensive. A few of the teachers then muttered a few words under their breaths and the entire room was engulfed in darkness.
