Chapter 17 - The Morning After
The next morning the whole school was called to the Great Hall,
when all was seated. Albus stood up and said,
"Good Morning all. I am sure you all are wondering about the Dragon you have seen on the quidditch pitch and why he was not removed from the school." Said Albus.
"It is agent wizard law to own dragons, right?"
Asked Lee Jordan. "So, who under arrest and from what house."
Then Fred pulled him back then said, "Shut up."
with a look that meant it.
Albus looked right at him, and he sat down,
"Looks like you are going make you friend mad their Lee,
and you wanting to kick out these Gryffindors out
will definitely make you unpopular with lots from all
the four houses." Said Albus.
"Who is it, if he is this popular?" Asked Lee.
"Before I tell you these Dragon Ridders are,
powerful wizards, they need to be kept secret and safe while they learn, the same as the rest of you." Said Albus.
"And if you tried to kick them out you know you would be next,
they do have followers Lee." Said Ron.
"As the miniature Molly Weasley said, I am not kicking them out." Said Albus while steering directly at Ron.
"Sorry." Said Ron.
A door opened and in walked Harry and Lewis,
and Saphera from the main doors.
They walked up to the front with Albus,
"The Dragon ridders are Lewis and Harry Potter,
they became ridders last year at Easer.
They are still one of us, one of your fellow students."
Said Albus. "Talk to them ask them questions,
they are still your friends."
Then they went and sat down next to the rest of the Weasleys and Neville. Then Lee said, "He your dragon?"
"My dragon?" Asked Lewis.
"We are each other's." Said Saphera where the school could hear him. "You were suggesting kicking my Lewis and Harry?" Asked Saphera breathing out smoke.
"Did not realize they were with you either,
but also thank you for saving Lewis." Said Lee.
"You not going to eat me, are you?"
'I am hungry, you do look nice and juicy,
good amount of meat of those ribs.' Through Saphera,
'Would you prefer have a sweet sauce or a spicy
sauce used on your ribs.' Then sniffed Lee.
'You smell tasty.' Lee looked at Saphera. He then licked his head a few times. 'Yep, bet you would taste good.'
Lee was now sweating bullets. "I promise I don't have that munch meat on my bones, you would be hungry so quickly."
Lewis licked his check. "You are right he would taste good I think a sweet sauce would be good." Said Lewis.
"Harry, Ron what do you think?"
"Sauce?" Asked Lee.
"You cant call it BBQ with out a good source,
BBQ Lee, Lee the other red meat." Said Lewis.
"Saphera, I think he just peed his robes." Said Lewis.
"I think your right," Said Fred.
"You don't want pee flavor, do you?" Then Lewis punched his belly fat. "This one has to munch belly fat…" Then the twins and the Weasleys started laughing.
Then Saphera smiled. 'I don't eat people.' Lee started to relax.
"Saphera you are handsome," Said Lee.
"Thank You." Said Saphera. "But now I am known,
you're not going far away from me,
no more dangerous injuries."
"Saphera, you are immensely powerful, but somethings are still out of you power, and I am still playing quidditch
with my brothers." Said Lewis. "Mom can't stop me,
she tried couple times."
"She also not a forty-foot-long dragon with paws big enough to pick you like a twig." Said Saphera.
Lewis looked concerned for a min then said,
"But we know my Saphera would never do that."
Saphera picked up Lewis and sat him back down,
"Yes, yes I would." Said Saphera.
"But I can't play quidditch on your back,
not in line with the rules." Said Lewis.
"I will be playing with my brothers right Saphera."
"Yes, but I will be watching from now on." Said Saphera.
"Glad you now open to come with us,
where we go, and you can help us more openly." Said Harry.
Then Draco walked up with Crabbe and Goyal and said,
"Lewis we need to talk, not here."
"There is a classroom nearby we can use." Said Lewis then looked at Ron, Harry, Neville, and Rob to follow.
Fred, George, and Percy also got up to follow,
with most of the Brotherhood getting the same idea.
Lewis, Ron, Rob, and Harry entered the classroom,
followed by Draco, Crabbe, and Goyal then closed the door,
but before he could secure the room.
The whole brotherhood followed, including the Slytherin brotherhood membership with his two roommates.
Then he secured the room.
"So, Draco guess you going ask about the Brotherhood."
Said Lewis. "Just a guess."
"Was going just ask if you heard anything about this rumored Brotherhood, but you lead it." Said Draco.
"Will so much for denying everything with the membership following like a puppy dogs and as a reminder don't talk about the Brotherhood in unsecured areas." Said Lewis.
"Ok Draco you got to make promises,
keep our secrets, tell no one outside the brotherhood,
and that goes for them two as well if you want them to join."
Said Lewis, "Secretly is the most important thang,
remember what we are fighting. So do you want them
two to join also, it is up to you, and you are in charge of them."
"I do want them to join." Said Draco.
"I need you three to keep what you learn about secret,
because we are going to be protecting our school from Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters…" Stalled Lewis.
And Draco finished, "Which includes our families,
which we all know are Death Eaters.
We will agree to an oath of secrecy,
which I know you know who to do."
Lewis grasped Draco hand then Draco said,
"I Draco Lucius Malfoy pledge to an oath of secrecy,
an oath to keep all the secrets of the Brotherhood of the Owl,
secret form anyone who is not a member of the Brotherhood."
"The Oath of security is complete." Said Lewis.
"Vincent and Greg do you want to join with you friend."
Asked Lewis, "You guys are like his brothers."
"I do and I will take the oath, if Draco wants me to." Said Greg.
"And I do." Said Draco. "Vincent?"
Vincent thought for a few minutes then said.
"I can't let you two do this without me so, yes I will."
"Greg." Said Lewis then he reached out and took Greg hand.
"I Gregory Goyle pledge to an oath of secrecy,
an oath to keep all the secrets of the Brotherhood of the Owl,
secret form anyone who is not a member of the Brotherhood."
"The Oath of security is complete." Said Lewis.
Then released Greg hand and took Vincent's hand.
"Your turn Vincent?" Said Lewis.
"I Vincent Crabbe pledge to an oath of secrecy,
an oath to keep all the secrets of the Brotherhood of the Owl,
secret form anyone who is not a member of the Brotherhood."
"The Oath of security is complete." Said Lewis.
"You cannot talk to anyone that not a member of the Brotherhood about our secrets and training and our HQ,
also will be training you guys to, first of all keeping
your minds secure, to keep our secrets from mindreading,
this has nothing to do with trust, but safety."
Then Lewis trained them how to secure their minds,
after he made a room for Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe,
and Gregory Goyle which had three desks and three beds,
and spots for their owls and a couch,
and a brand new Slytherin Shield next to their door, and them to the Slytherin shields.
"Ok you three are now added and you now have a portal shield
in your dorm to enter the HQ." Said Lewis.
"Go there and enter the HQ. Everyone go to the HQ."
When Lewis got to the HQ, half the brotherhood was there,
and the other was entering.
Lewis was sitting on the couch when Draco walked up to him asked, "What is with the cell?"
"Something dangerous is in there, want to look?" Asked Lewis.
"Sure," Said Draco and they walked over,
and Draco seen the kid in it.
"Who is he, he does look like you." Said Draco.
"You know every pure blood has at least one crazy?"
Asked Lewis.
"Yep." Said Draco.
"That my family, embarrassment. He a mass murder, crazy,
lunatic, family killing, peace of garish, he is the shame of the Peverell Family tree which Potter descends from." Said Lewis.
"Who is he, how can he be that bad?" Asked Draco.
"He killed his own family." Said Lewis.
"He did?" Asked Draco.
"Yes, He is Tom M. Riddle, he killed my parents,
Lilly and James Potter because they tried and stop him from killing me." Said Lewis.
"He is Voldemort as a kid?" Asked Draco.
"Yes." Said Lewis. "I am why my family is dead."
"If he wanted people dead, there was no stopping him."
Said Draco, "What could you have done."
Harry and Ron walked up behind Lewis but was behind the shelf still so Lewis and Draco did not know they were there.
"Something was said, he heard it, he even told them,
if you grab Harry and run for it you will live,
I only want Lewis." Said Lewis.
"You really do blame yourself, even though Harry does not.
You can't forgive your self can you." Said Draco.
"When you know you the are the cause of so much bad,
you the person that ruins so many lives." Said Lewis.
"What else can a person do to make it up?"
Draco started thinking over the past year,
while Harry and Ron were doing the same.
Lewis went and sat on the couch,
then Draco followed and asked, "You been in the Hospital so many times since you been here at school,
where they on purpose?" Asked Draco,
"You almost died every time, you been punishing yourself,
maybe your Mom is right you should be home schooled."
Harry and Ron snuck away.
"No, why would I put myself in so much danger so many times on purpose." Said Lewis. "Don't say that around a Weasley,
that would cause me a load of trouble, let's play some chess."
Then they went to the chess tables and started playing,
at the end of the first game. Ron and Harry walked over, and Ron said, "Mom wants to talk to you, she in the common room."
"I am in good health, not in the hospital, done nothing wrong,"
Lewis was staring at Ron then Harry and seen a very intensive loud argument almost ending in a fist fight,
after Harry had a conversion by the Flo network about the conversion between, Draco and Himself about his causing
himself injuries on purpose. Then a look of utter sadness,
and loss went across his face and then his face changed
to utter rage, more than Harry had ever seen before,
scaring Harry more than anything he could remember.
Then came the yelling so loud,
"Harry why, why, why, why of all people,
my double is a backstabber bastard, you told on me to Mom."
Ron and Rob ran up to him and tried to calm him,
"Lewis, relax please," Ron, Rob, and Lewis went to their room,
they sat on the couch and hugged Lewis,
"please, you need to calm and relax."
Lewis was now rocking on the couch, finally relaxed.
"Thank you, Ron and Rob, you had my back, and you tried to stop him," Said Lewis hugged Ron and Rob kissed them.
"Should we go out and deal with the trouble he caused."
"Yes, quickly." Said Ron.
Then Ron and Lewis headed for the entry portal,
Harry said, "Lewis, I did it to protect you."
Then Lewis looked at him with so much rage in his eyes again,
then walked over to the portal and left.
"Harry give him time, but you should have talked to him first,
but give him time and let me talk to him.
Most importantly let him fix this massive problem he has."
Said Ron turning to leave, "I would never stab my twin Rob in the back always have his back." Then used the portal to leave.
Lewis, Rob, and Ron walked down to the common room,
Ron and Rob holding his hand the hole time. They sat on the sofa across from their Mom and she said, "Lewis pack your bags,
that it you're going home."
"What did that backstabbing bastard…" Lewis started.
"Lewis let me, what was said by Harry, at least let Lewis defend himself." Ordered Ron. "It is only fair."
"About a conversion he heard, where you were saying there was no way you could make up for the damage you had done to those around you." Said Molly, "Then you keep getting
injured and it keeps getting worse and worse with
each time you get injured."
"I did not get injured on purpose.
Halloween night I was saving that girl form getting killed,
if not for trying to save her I would be up in the dorm,
only reason I got hit was I heard something from the hall and got distracted by something, still don't know what." Said Lewis.
"I really did not plan on being that troll baseball."
"Ok." Said Molly.
"The quidditch, I was saving my twins life I did not fall off my broom on purpose. I was wanting to save my brother's life."
Said Lewis, "Falling off the broom was not part of the plain."
"Fine." Said Molly.
"Now ending up in the hospital wing at the end of the school year maybe was my fault, but I could not let that bad teacher just get away, he had to be punished." Said Lewis.
"Fine I will accept that." Said Molly.
"Lastly the quidditch match, the rogue ball,
was dobby fault, and I was not losing that game." Said Lewis.
"Still not sure what happened after I got the snitch.
I really don't want to be in pain it just happens."
"Fine you can stay just stay out of trouble." Said Molly.
"Or I will be back for you."
"Thank You," He hugged her, seeing his twin,
he stormed past him and went back to the dorm.
"Harry what just happened he never mad at you." Said Molly.
"Harry turned him in to you." Said Ron then stormed
off to join Lewis.
"You are going have to figure how to make it up to him."
Said Molly. "Not sure how you going to do it."
"Me either, because he is very mad." Said Harry.
"Give him time." Said Molly hugging him.
Ron came back out and added, "You stabbed him in the back,
you're his twin, your mental connected to Lewis,
the only way you could be closer to him is to be physical connected to him." Said Ron. Then stormed out.
"He is definitely a little you." Said Harry.
