Chapter12: Cruel Truth

Harry awoke slowly, emerging from the fog like darkness that had consumed him in screams and failer. He felt a warm body against him making his eyes snap open with a flash of memories. He turned to find Violet leaning against him with sunny a sleep in her lap and on the other side he spotted Klaus curled up next to Violet. Harry smiled at the perfectly innocent picture. Silent tears trailed down his face. He didn't need to be told what happened to them and he knows that trouble is the only thing that comes from this. Its all my fault……….Just like Sirius's death……….Harry's thoughts made his heart sink in despair and guilt.

Harry felt movement beside him making him look down to see Violet waking up. Violet looked up to make eye contact with Harry and spot the fresh tear streaks on his cheeks.

"Harry, are you alright?" said Violet worriedly with a frown as she sat up. Harry looked away from her, breaking their eye contact.

"Nothing." muttered Harry stiffly as he looked around him and observed that they sat in a small room with old cracked, dirty walls and complete with a rotting ceiling. The room seemed to be completely empty with only one way out. The room felt cold, but there seemed to be no vents or windows. That's weird… Hm…….

"Harry, we know you're a wizard. Why keep it a secret?" asked Violet as away to make Harry open up and talk and fill in the gapes and questions. Harry turned to look at her in surprise at the subject, but not surprised that they found out that he was a wizard.

"How did you find out that I was a wizard?" asked Harry in a soft tone.

"Klaus went through your truck and looked at your letters and told us what he found." said Violet in a low voice as she braced herself for Harry's rage. But never it never came, Harry just closed his eyes and sighed and nodded.

"Klaus never gives up does he?" said Harry calmly as his face broke into a grin and opened his eyes. "I couldn't tell you because it is against the law in the wizarding world to do magic in front of non-magic folk because the wizarding world doesn't want them to found out for reason like Salem. But I already broke that rule today and other times."

"What do you mean 'again'?" asked Violet a little confuse and puzzled at once.

"Well, 3 years ago, I blow my Aunt Marge up like a balloon, but she was making fun of my parents and made me anger and resulted in accented magic. Then, there was the time a demenator attacked me and my cousin and I had to use magic to save us, which was all toad woman's fault for sending them, who was a very nasty toad." said Harry angrily, but cooled off quickly.

"Aaa…Harry, why don't you start from the beginning?" asked Violet in complete confusion. Harry sighed and started to tell her about Hagrid, his 5 years at Hogwarts, Voldemort, Sirus, his parents, his friends, the mysteries, dangers, and every thing, his feels, his thoughts, and actions. When he finished, Harry closed his eyes and leaned heavily against the wall. He felt better; clean, like he was free like a burden was lifted. Silencethat filled the room seemed to be all he could hear as he let violet take in what he said.
