Disclaimer: I do not Harry Potter. I do own my original characters. Heh. I wish I owned Gary Oldman, though.

Warnings: The usual.

A/N: Read my Snarry. Erm. I decided to change part of what happened last chapter. Christine isn't dead when everybody comes downstairs. She is about to die. So she still dies, but they get to talk to her first.

Chapter 11: The Truth
Christine was sitting on the couch reading, when she heard a few thumps come from upstairs. She thought it to be the girls upstairs horsing around. A few minutes later footsteps descending the staircase could be heard. She heard a male say, "Silencio," and quickly got out her wand. Theo walked in, malice in his black eyes.

"Where's Harry? I want to talk to him." He smiled at Christine, trying to act innocent.

"He's not here. What do you want?" Christine glared at him. Theo returned the glare.

"What's you're problem?"

"You are my problem. Don't think the DA doesn't know about you. We know you are up to something. It won't take long to figure out what. One torture spell…" She put her wand to his throat. He quickly jumped back.

"Incarcerous!" Christine was immediately tied with thick ropes, and struggled to get free. Theo walked to the couch and sat down. "Christine, you are probably wondering why I'm doing this." Christine's eyes blazed with fury, unable to say anything due to the rope in her mouth. "You see, I'm not Theo. I'm his brother. Tom. Theo had an… accident at the beginning of summer. You see, he decided to go against the Dark Lord, just like the rest of our siblings. Funny, the next morning after they decided, they were all found dead in their beds. Apparently they were tortured before they were killed. Shame, isn't it?" Tom started walking around the room, oblivous to the fact that Christine was slowly getting her arm loose, talking about how he murdered each and every one of his siblings. Diffindo Christine thought, and the ropes severed. She quickly walked up behind Tom, poked him on the shoulder before saying,

"Why don't you shut up? Langlock!" Tom's tongue was immediately stuck to the roof of his mouth. "Levicorpus!" He hung from the air. (A/N: Erm. Snape's spells are common knowledge. No one knows who invented them. Kay?) "That's better. You had absolutely NO idea how powerful the DA is. Each of us has the same amount of power. We know how to deal with dark wizards. Well, I wouldn't exactly call you a dark wizard. More of a… stupid ass. With a bit of bastard. Ya. That fits quite well. An incompetent, lazy, stupid a–" She was cut off by a stinging hex and fell to the floor. She managed to say, "Finite Incantatem." She got up and fired a curse at him. The next few minutes were spent dodging and firing spells at eachother. In the last minute, Tom got impatient.

"Crucio!" Christine's eyes widened, and barely ducked out of the way, and tripped. "Sectumsempra!" She didn't make it out of the way. Her white shirt revealed lines of red, crisscrossing all the way down to her skirt. She looked up, fire dancing in her eyes.

"You want to play dirty? Fine. Puteulanus Flamma!" Blue fire in the shape of bluebell flowers shot out of her wand. She directed them towards Tom's face, before collapsing to the ground once more. Tom screamed in agony, the flesh of his face burning and melting, some parts peeling off. He desperately tried to find his wand. When he did, he quickly doused the flames, holding his face in his hands. Christine whispered, "Accio Crystal." Footsteps of several people could be heard dashing down the stairs.

"CHRISTINE!" Crystal ran over, holding her sister in her hands, casting numerous healing and cleaning spells, to no avail. Addie stood there in shock, and Jade's face was blank.

"Crystal, give it up. I've lost too much blood. Get Tom." Assuming she meant Theo, Addie and Jade brought the boy over, who was still twitching in pain, his face melted together. "Fuck you, Tom. You'll pay. I hope you burn in hell." She gave him the finger, even though he couldn't see it, as he passed out. She gazed at her best friends. "Addie, keep Blaise. He's a good guy." Addie nodded, tears in her eyes. "Jade, you got talent, so use it." Jade gave a small smile. "Crystal… I'll be back. I can't leave you guys alone. You'd all fall off a cliff or something. Do what you have to do." Her eyes misted over, and she began talking, almost chanting.

"What once was said is no more.

The future remains with the four.

What was darkness will fade into light,

The dying year, the 23rd night.

It cannot stop, it is destined to be.

The answer comes with the waves of the sea.

What was darkness will fade into light,

The dying year, the 23rd night."

Her eyes remained to their usual swirl of color. "I love you guys." She went limp. Tears were dripping down Crystal's face, and she refused to let go of Christine's body. Sirius tried to talk to her, but to no avail.

"She's gone, hon, she's in a better place. Remember what she said? She'll be back." Addie put her arm around her friend, trying to speak evenly. She still wouldn't let go. Sirius and Jade shared a look, and Jade nodded.

"Crys, do you really think she's gone? She would never leave us, and we will never lead you." She kissed Crystal's head, and cast a sleep charm on her. Sirius took the body, and placed it near the couch, getting a blanket and covering it. Jade ran upstairs to check on Blaise and Pansy, who were unconscious. She let them be for the moment. They needn't be involved.

"Blaise and Pansy are fine. We need to find Theo." Jade jolted her head, and went behind the couch. She dragged a limp Theo from behind it. She magically binded him to the floor, gave his wand to Sirius, and accio-ed a bottle of veritaserum to her hand. She muttered ennervate and watched the light come back into his eyes. Slamming his head against the ground, she started to question him. "What did you do to her!" She got no response, and forced the serum down his throat.

"What is your name?"

"Tom Nott."

"Where is Theo?"

"He's dead. I was ordered to kill him at the beginning of summer. I was forced to kill him, along with my other siblings." Addies's eyes opened with realization.

"You're his older brother, aren't you?" She said.

"Yes." Jade resumed her questions.

"Whom do you work for?"

"The Dark Lord."

"Why did you kill Christine?"

"She got in my way."

"In the way of what?"

"Killing Hary Potter."

"How did you know Draco and Harry would become friends, and that everybody would come here?"

"It was foreseen." He started to choke, and despite even Sirius' best attempts, he was dead in less than a minute. Christine's bluebells spell had so much power, Tom's brain was destroyed by the heat.

"I can't believe… she's gone…" Addie whispered. She gathered her composure and Crystal upstairs, knowing that she and Jade would have to keep up appearences. Jade stayed, talking to Sirius.

"Christine was always really good at the voice copying spell. She probably heard Theo coming, and lured him in. Most Death Eaters are quick, she didn't have time to react I'm guessing."

"Jade, go to my room, in the closet theirs a pensieve. The last memory before death is saved for ten minutes." Jade nodded and bolted to retrieve it. Sirius casted the spell, and a band of silver liquid was placed into the pensieve. Just as he started to look at the memory, Jade stopped him.

"We should wait for Dumbledore. Crystal should be the first to see it anyway. She deserves it. This is going to fuck her upl." Jade looked down. "I better go check on her." She started walking away, and Sirius caught her arm.

"How can you have no emotion in this? You're best friend died!" She looked up, pain evident in her eyes.

"There's a reason Draco and I get along so well." She walked up to the attic, leaving Sirius in a daze behind her. After a moment, he ran to find Kreacher.

"Kreacher! GET DOWN HERE NOW!"

"Evil piece of filth." The house elf appeared before him.

"Go find Dumbledore. Tell him theres been an emergency, that Draco and Harry are not safe. Then find Remus and tell him the same." Kreacher vanished, leaving Sirius alone. "It's going to be a difficult week."

A/N: Heh. Two hours early. Death scenes are difficult to write. The last part of this, as you can see, was the same as the last part of last chapter. Well, on a lighter note, the Sorting Ceremony is two chapters away! Yay!
