Chapter 18 - So Many Problems and a New Club
Lewis work up but seen a no one in the dorm,
then seen the potion lab door open, then Lewis walked over and into the lab.
"Lewis!" yelled Ron. "You scared us. Come in and how are you,
will your everything?"
"I am fine," said Lewis. "Guy's what Potion you practicing?"
"Polyjuice," Said Rob, then Harry gave him a look.
"Thank you for telling me the truth,
even if my twin is glaring, where you get the recipe?"
Asked Lewis.
"Little Percy has it in one of his books." Said Rob.
"Can I see it?" Asked Lewis, and Little Percy
handed him the book, Lewis started looking at it.
Then Lewis said, "Little Percy, let's make a test batch,
then see how it goes from there. Then we can keep a batch locked up at all times." Handed back the book.
Dobby was now following Lewis and asked,
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Oh. Dobby come with me, sorry I forgot got distracted,
bad week after all." Said Lewis as they walked to his room,
now in Lewis room. "But this we both know. First of all,
can we get you into something clean."
"Sure," said Dobby then he striped,
and Lewis summoned a new tub and hot tub, Dobby got in the tub and just sat there while Lewis was cleaning his close and fixing them. Then went and cleaned Dobby rubbing him down all over when done Lewis sat on the couch.
Then when Dobby was ready to get out,
and then Lewis said, "I am doing a health scan on you,
from where you did all those self-punishments,
I want to make sure you ok."
"But I am," Said Dobby, now holding a pillow in front of him.
"I will be the judge of that," Said Lewis, while Dobby just stood their nude, with the pillow, then Lewis said,
"would you feel better if I was standing like you are.
I already seen all of you, shy now?"
Dobby through and said, "Sure."
Ron walked in and asked, "What happening."
"I am trying to give Dobby a checkup,
from where he was doing self-punishments." Said Lewis.
Then Lewis locked the door, then said,
"Ron I need to do a check up on Dobby,
but he felling nervus, lets join him." Said Lewis.
"If we are like him, he will feel better."
Then Ron and Lewis striped, and then stood in front of Dobby,
"So Dobby what do you think?" Asked Lewis,
then he dropped the pillow.
"You guys look the same as me." Said Dobby.
Dobby reaching out, but stopped.
"We are all male, of course we do." Said Lewis. "It is fine,
right Ron as long as I can do the checkup first."
Then Lewis started scanning Dobby,
and felling his skin while he scanned,
from head to toe, healing along the way.
"You're in perfect health now." Said Lewis.
Then Lewis and Ron hugged Dobby.
Then Lewis whispered a question in Dobby ear,
so low only Dobby could hear. "Do you like boys or girls?"
Then Dobby said, "Boys."
"Want to play some fun games with me and Ron,"
Then he whispered in Dobby ears the suggestions.
"Sure," Said Dobby.
"As long as, you're sure?" Said Lewis.
"Yes." Said Dobby.
Then Lewis smiled at Ron. Lewis and Ron started playing with Dobby, then Lewis picked Dobby up with him facing Lewis,
carried him over to the Hot Tub, and turned on the jets,
then went over and picked up Ron the same way,
putting him in the Hot Tub to. Then getting in himself.
Lewis was then playing with both Dobby's and Ron's,
then said, "I got three joysticks to play with now,
but funnier to play with yours."
He cupped him under and played till they finished. "To true," Said Ron. "What do you think Dobby."
Then Dobby got between Lewis and Ron,
and started playing with Lewis' and Ron's the same way till they too finished to.
"Now my turn," then he did the same for Dobby's and Lewis',
while Dobby and Lewis both played with Ron's to,
they continued till all the finished at the same time.
"Munch better." Said Lewis. "Second, you're my friend,
I just want to keep you safe."
They spent the whole time in the tub till lunch,
then Lewis grabbed them both and squeezed a few times.
"Will let's get dressed," Said Lewis.
Lewis dressed Ron, then Ron dressed Dobby,
then Dobby Dressed Lewis. Then they walked out into the HQ,
and back to the Potion Lab.
Lewis followed by Ron and Dobby, went back to the Potions Lab and asked, "There was not a purpose behind this batch,
other than learning how to make it right?"
"None anymore." Said Ron.
"First of all, I know who did it, and he is safe now."
Started Lewis, "I think."
"Dobby come here," Said Lewis, watching Little Percy tearing bundles of knotgrass and throwing them into the potion.
"Dobby tell us about the last time the chamber was opened."
Dobby told them and Draco dad plot to get it opened again,
They looked up, amazed. Dobby told them everything.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?"
said Lewis. "Tom Riddle opened the Chamber when he was at school here and because it happen when our Hagrid
was at school."
"So, Dobby you stopped us getting on the train and
broke your everything." Said Ron, looking at Dobby with rage.
Then Colin had showed up.
"Come here," Lewis hugged him, "You felling, ok?"
"Yes," Said Colin.
"So glad all our people are back to normal." Said Lewis.
The rummers of the attack and boys lying as though dead in the hospital wing had spread through the entire
school by Monday morning. The air was suddenly thick with rumors and suspicion.
The first-years girls were now moving around the castle in tight-knit groups, as though scared they would be attacked if they ventured forth alone, but the first year and second-year boys where all now part of the brotherhood, stuck around either boy Prefects who were all members of the Brotherhood or in the case of the Gryffindors they stuck around the Potters and Weasleys.
Lewis felt Fred and George were going to try something stupid then read their minds, and seen what they were going do wrong way about cheering Rob up.
Then Lewis walked up to Fred and George then
looked at them and said, "If you do what your planning,
I will let mom know you going give my Rob nightmares,
and give you detention till the sun goes out.
Not to forget my new itching powder."
Then Fred and George looked at him,
then Promised they would not.
Meanwhile, hidden from the teachers,
a roaring trade in talismans, amulets and other protective devices was sweeping the school.
Lewis called the other prefects from the all the houses,
They meet in an empty classroom, Lewis give the head boys from each of the other houses a speech to give,
then said, "I just gave the head boys from Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw a speech to need to give.
We need to stop this trade that some of us are using to steal money from others, we need to take points from those doing this fraud, we must protect our own.
Remember we are Hogwarts, we are united as one."
"So do the head boys agree?" Asked Lewis,
all the prefects agreed.
"So, does fifty points pre sound and a week detention sound, ok? It sounds a bit munch, but I want this taken serious."
Said Lewis. "No one going take advantage of one of us."
After dinner, the head boy of each house called everyone back to their houses, the head of the house noted this message to and sneaked in their houses to lesion.
All of Gryffindor was now in the common room,
Minerva snuck into the back of the room in the shadows,
when all where in the room. Lewis then stood up on one of the wooden chairs and spoke. "Gryffindors,
all the Prefects have met and decided as one,
if we catch a single student selling some kind of protection charm of any kind, you will lose your house fifty points and a detention per. If I catch you, I will be taking one hundred points. We are Hogwarts, we are one, we are not here to steal money from our own, what house you in does not matter,
We are one school, we are here to protect and learn.
I really don't want to hear about a Gryffindor doing this,
we are one, but as Gryffindor himself valued believe he also valued Loyalty as well as the other thangs." Said Lewis.
"Thank you all, let's make Gryffindor proud and Dumbledore."
They all started breaking up, Meriva was sneaked out of the common room, she was in the hall walking away,
then she heard behind her, "For shame, Professor McGonagall.
Sneaking out of our own house common room,
like a spy, this is our house. When all you had to do was come and join us, you are a Gryffindor, we are not a spy."
"That true." Said Minerva.
"Remember you are one of us, this is your house to,
so come and join us whenever, remember you are one of us."
Said Lewis then asked, "What did you think of my speech,
the head boy of the other three houses are giving
the same speech."
"So, you organized this." Said Minerva.
"Yes, yes, I did, no one going take advantage of my Hogwarts,
we are Hogwarts, we must protect our self,
if we don't who will." Said Lewis, then walked back to the common room entry.
"We are proud of you Lewis," Said James.
"Yes, we are." Added Lilly.
"Thank You, Lilly and James," Said Lewis,
"I can't yet. Does not fell right yet."
"Give it time." Said James.
Nev seemed to never leave either Lewis or Harry side,
Lewis hugged Nev, "While I do love you being our shadow,
Nev are you ok?" Asked Lewis, then kissed him,
while all the Weasleys where setting with Harry and Nev.
"They coming for me next, they went for Filch first,"
Neville said. "I am a squib like Flitch."
"You're a pure blood and you no squib,
you are getting good at spells, potions, and you grand at Herbs."
Said Lewis, "Where Harry and I are not pure bloods,
we are in danger not you."
"We are pure bloods Lewis," Said Harry.
"Pure bloods means all your family lines are all Wizards and Witches, we are not." Said Lewis. They all started at him,
"Our James is Pure. Lilly is pure Muggle.
So our family is not a Pure Blood family. Not that I think it matters at all." Said Lewis.
In the second week of December Professor McGonagall came around as usual, collecting names of those who would be staying at school for Christmas. The whole Gryffindor brotherhood stayed. Malfoy was staying which made since.
A week later, Lewis, Harry, Ron, Rob, Nev, Lil Percy,
and Hermione were walking across the Entrance Hall when they saw a small knot of people gathered around the noticeboard, reading a piece of parchment.
Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas beckoned them over,
looking excited. "Someone starting a Dueling Club!"
said Seamus. "First meeting tonight! I wouldn't mind dueling lessons. They might come in handy one of these days but
who running it? It does not say."
"Could be useful," Ron said to Harry as they went into dinner.
"Shall we go?" Asked Harry, noting in his mind his brother handwriting but said nothing, he decided he must have a reason.
"Probably Flitwick." Said Lewis.
Harry got all of Gryffindors to follow him down to the club,
so at eight o'clock that evening they hurried back to the
Great Hall. The long dining tables had vanished,
and a stage had appeared along one wall, lit by thousands of the regular candles, while ceiling was velvety black once more and most of the school seemed to be packed beneath it, all carrying their wands and looking excited.
"I wonder who'll be teaching us?" said Hermione,
as they edged into the chattering crowd.
"Someone told me Flitwick was a dueling champion when he
was young, maybe it'll be him."
"As long as it's not Gilderoy Lockhart." Said Ron.
Lockhart walked up and said, "Not me, but who is it."
Flitwick walked up, "Is everyone ready to learn,"
Said Flitwick, they now noticed Lewis.
They all said, "Yes."
"What Lewis doing?" Asked Hermione.
"Take a guess." Said Harry.
Then he finished talking to Albus, he helped Lewis get on the stage and then joined Flitwick, Lewis said, "Sorry about that."
"You fine Lewis," Said Flitwick.
"Now, Professor Dumbledore has granted us permission to start this Dueling Club and the Great Flitwick is our
Teacher who I will be co-leading this,
to help us protect our school so we can defend ourselves and our school when we need to." Said Lewis.
"We are Hogwarts, we must keep us safe.
Flitwick will be running this I am just here to help.
Flitwick is an expert Dueler, I don't have his expertise in dueling but I but he been training me and I got some experience another way. Am glad to see the whole school is here."
Flitwick said, "We will be doing a demonstration."
Then they raised their wands like swords in front of them.
"As you see, we are holding our wands in the accepted combative position," Said Lewis, "On the count of three, we will cast our first spells. Neither of us will be aiming to kill, of course.
One… two… three."
Both swung their wands up and over their shoulders.
Lockhart walked up and said, "I want a go, agent Lewis."
Harry told Lockhart, "Your funeral."
"Now my sweet twin, why give him a warning," Said Lewis with an evil grin, "And ruin my fun."
"Why you say that?" Asked Lockheart, then Lockhart jumped up then they both of them swung their wands up and over their shoulders. Lewis cried, "Expelliarmus!" There was a dazzling flash of scarlet light and Lockhart was blasted off his feet.
He flew backwards off the stage, smashed into the wall and slid down it to sprawl on the floor.
The whole school cheered. Hermione was dancing on tiptoes.
"Do you think he's all right?" she squealed through her fingers.
"Who cares?" said Harry and Ron together,
"Also remember who Saved you." Asked Harry.
Lockhart was getting unsteadily to his feet.
His hat had fallen off and his wavy hair was standing on end.
"Our Lewis took out Lockhart." Yelled Percy,
he sounded both excited and proud. "Our Lewis,
Lewis took out Lockhart."
Ron then asked, "Percy your proud of this?"
"Yes, Lockhart supposed to be a world class duller,
and our Lewis took him out." Said Percy who looked so happy.
"Well, there you have it!" Lockheart said, tried to getting back onto the platform.
"That was a Disarming Charm as you see, he lost his wand and his footing." Said Lewis. "Apparently he has bad balance."
"Yes, an excellent idea to show them that,
Lewis, but if you don't mind my saying so, it was very obvious what you were about to do." Said Lockheart.
"So why could you not block me?" Said Lewis.
"If I had wanted to stop you it would have been only too easy. However, I felt it would be instructive
to let them see…" Started Lockheart.
"Lockheart, you tried to block me, but you failed.
But this dule was never going be fair,
I am way out of you league." Said Lewis. "Using a spell at around ten percent power."
"What do you mean, not in your league?" Asked Lockheart.
"Your alone facing, I am not." Said Lewis.
Lockheart looked confused. "Lockheart where not at breakfast a week ago where you?"
"No, I was not." Said Lockheart.
"Look in the corner," Said Lewis.
Lockheart looked, and seen all the first- and second-year Gryffindor boys sitting on and around Saphera,
and the rest of the first years around him. "He is still here?"
Rob and Lil Percy where setting on Saphera,
"Saphera why not eat that thang?" Asked Rob.
"Now, now Rob, do you want to get our big guy there sick.
If Saphera ate Lockheart, would make him sick." Said Lewis.
"My husband, and his perfect hearing." Said Rob.
"Love that guy. Lockheart, the whole school knows,
Saphera is with Harry and I, we are Dragon Ridders,
which means Saphera, Harry, and I have a combined
spell power base." Said Lewis. "Now let's practice,
I want you all to pear up." Everyone was pared.
"Face your partners!" Called Lewis, "And bow!
Wands at the ready! When I count to three,
cast your charms to disarm your opponent, but only to disarm them. One … two … three …"
Harry swung his wand over his shoulder, but Malfoy had already started on 'two': his spell hit Harry so hard he felt as though he'd been hit over the head with a saucepan.
He stumbled, but everything still seemed to be working,
and wasting no more time, Harry pointed his wand straight at Malfoy and shouted, 'Rictusempra!'
A jet of silver light hit Malfoy in the stomach,
and he doubled up, wheezing.
"I said disarm only!" Lewis screamed, as Malfoy sank to his knees, then Harry had hit him with a Tickling Charm,
and he could barely move for laughing. Harry hung back,
with a vague feeling it would be unsporting to bewitch Malfoy while he was on the floor.
But this was a mistake. Gasping for breath, Malfoy pointed his wand at Harry's knees, choked, 'Tarantallegra!' and next second Harry's legs had begun to jerk around out of his control in a kind of quickstep.
"Stop! Stop!" Said Lewis all the boys stopped,
no boy questioned him being in charge, "Finite Incantatem!" Lewis shouted and Harry's feet stopped dancing,
Malfoy stopped laughing and they were able to look up.
A haze of greenish smoke was hovering over the scene.
Lewis and Flitwick started to check the group,
Both Neville and Justin were lying on the floor, panting but fine.
Ron was holding up an ashen-faced Seamus, apologizing for whatever he had done but Lewis cleaned him.
But Hermione and Millicent Bulstrode were still moving.
Saphera noticed something before Lewis,
he pulled Millicent off Hermione and under one paw Hermione was whimpering, and Millicent was under the other.
Both their wands lay forgotten on the floor.
Lewis now seeing this picked up there wands,
Saphera sharing what happened.
"Girls this is a magical dule, not a boxing match."
Said Lewis, "For trying to heart each other you
each lose 50 points. We are one school we
don't fight with our self's, see how the boys are all shaking hands not punching each other. Apparently, the Brotherhood of Hogwarts is far stronger then the Sisterhood.
Do you two promises to hug and call peace?" He looked at them.
"No." Said Herminie.
"No." Said Millicent.
"Saphera keep them there till they do." Said Lewis.
Giving the Millicent wand to Albus, and keeping Mione.
Walled up to Fawcett and used a healing spell.
"I think I'd better teach you how to block unfriendly spells," said Flitwick, standing flustered in the midst of the hall,
was Lewis, who started to feel like a failure.
"Let's have a volunteer pair Ron and Harry?"
"Excellent idea!" Said Flitwick, gesturing Harry and Ron into the middle of the Hall as the crowd backed away to give them room.
"Now, Harry," said Lewis, "when Ron points his wand at you,
you do this." Showing Harry, a spell.
Flitwick was showing Ron, a spell to be blocked.
"Lewis, could you show me that blocking thing again?"
Asked Harry. "Mabey twice." Lewis showed his twin again.
"Ready?" Asked Lewis they both nodded,
"Three – two – one – go!" he shouted.
No one did a spell yet, but a big snake shoot across the room,
fell heavily onto the floor between them and raised itself, ready to strike. There were screams as the crowd backed swiftly away, clearing the floor.
Lewis pushed Harry back, now eye to eye with the angry snake. "Allow me!" shouted Lockhart. He brandished his wand at the snake and there was a loud bang then the snake flew ten feet into the air and fell back to the floor with a loud smack.
The snake now not only mad but enraged, hissing furiously,
was slithering straight towards Justin Finch-Fletchley
and raised itself again, fangs exposed, poised to strike.
'Leave him!' The snake turned and instead went straight at Lewis now his eyes on him, the snake still mad,
already bit Lewis twice before Lewis could say,
'Stop.' But trying to bite Lewis again but then stopped.
The snake now disappeared, now in the forbidden forest.
He looked up at Justin, expecting to see Justin looking relieved, but certainly not angry and scared.
"I think that this was good for the first try at this,
let's give it another go next week." Said Lewis.
Lewis walked over to Saphera and looked at the two Girls,
"So Girls, do you like your new napping spot?" Asked Lewis.
"NO." They both said.
"Want to make up, and never fight again." Said Lewis.
Then Saphera touched Lewis and removed the poison,
now Lewis felt a lot better.
"Thank you, big guy," Said Lewis.
"Let us go and you can see." Said Harmonie.
Albus walked up, "Girls come with me."
"Professor she a lion, she my problem, I want to talk to her,
she ours to deal with, you can have the other one."
Hermione followed Lewis whispered into Harmonies ear,
"Learn to act like a Lion, or you can fine your self a new den to live in. And I know how to make it happen." They walk off.
"I will not do it again." Said Hermione.
"When not in class, stay in our house." Said Lewis.
They were back in the HQ, and Lewis brought him into Ron and his room, with Harry and Ron, then Justin screamed at him.
"What do you think you're playing at?"
He just stood there staring at Lewis.
Then Lewis asked calmly, "What do you think I did?"
"You set that snake on me." Said Justin.
"YOU REALY…" Started Harry.
Lewis stopped him, then said, "The snake bit me, not you,
and after all we been through Justin, as a school,
after all you know I done in the last two years,
you really think I would put you in harm's way,
or any of our brotherhood in danger?"
Harry and Ron where now looking pissed, but Lewis continued,
but was now starting to cry, "I have put myself in danger to keep our fellow students from danger,
getting put into the Hospital Wing, several times now,
but when you are ready, I will be here,
still you're a friend Justin, also remember Dumbledore was there to if he through I did this I would be in his office.
Not free to walk around."
All this being said calmly, with both forgiveness, love, and compassion toward Justin, then Lewis sat down, and Justin left.
"You're a Parselmouth. Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Ron.
"We are a what?" said Harry.
"A Parselmouth!" said Ron. "You can talk to snakes!"
"We know," said Harry.
"You have seen us in the garden talking to snakes before."
Said Lewis, "And you know we can talk to animals,
which include snakes. So, loads of people here can do it,
it is Hogwarts."
"Oh no they can't," said Ron. "It's a very rare gift."
"This is bad, so bad, this is bad." Said Lewis.
"What's bad?" Asked Harry, starting to feel quite angry. "What's wrong with everyone? Listen, they all head you,
calling the snake off Justin."
"I know Harry, but that…" Started Lewis.
"Oh, that's what you said to him?" Asked Ron.
"What do you mean? You were there you heard me,
where your ears full of cheese?" Asked Lewis.
Then Lewis went and playful smell for cheese.
Then licked his ear, "No cheese, a snake would have been nice."
"I heard him, he said it." Said Harry.
"I heard you speaking Parseltongue," said Ron,
"Snake language. You could have been saying anything.
No wonder Justin panicked, you sounded like you were egging the snake on or something. It was creepy, you know."
Harry gaped at him. Ron shook his head.
Both Ron and Lewis were looking as though someone had died. Harry couldn't see what was so terrible.
"Do you want to tell me what's wrong with stopping a great snake biting Justin's head off?" he said.
"Harry there are only two others that where famous for it."
Said Lewis, "Salazar Slytherin was famous for it.
That's why the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent."
"Exactly," said Ron. "And ."
"But we are not," said Harry, with a panic he
couldn't quite explain.
"You'll find that hard to prove," Said Ron. "He lived…"
Then they noticed Lewis, who looked nervous,
like he was setting on a big secret. "Lewis what wrong?"
"You know me and Harry are co lords of House Slytherin."
Said Lewis. "But we did not do this."
Justin walked back in and said,
"I was stupid, was thinking it over, the last two years,
Sorry Lewis I should have known better."
Then went and hugged him saying again, "Sorry."
"Accepted." Said Lewis hugging him back.
Hours later Lewis was back in his and Ron's room,
then Harry walked in.
"But I'm in Gryffindor," Harry said to Lewis.
"The Sorting Hat wouldn't have put me in here if I had Slytherin blood, are you sure?"
"You remember the hat said in your head?" Said Lewis.
"He also said it in mine, it tried to put us in Slytherin,
it also tried to put me in Ravenclaw."
Lewis went to the library to study. Then he head a group of the Hufflepuffs who should have been in Herbology were indeed sitting at the back of the library,
but they didn't seem to be working.
Between the long lines of high bookshelves,
Lewis could see that their heads were close together and they were having what looked like an absorbing conversation.
He noticed Justin was among them. He was walking towards them when something of what they were saying met his ears, and he paused to listen, hidden in the Invisibility section.
"So anyway," a stout boy was saying, "Justin you need to hide up in our dormitory. I mean to say, if Potters marked you as his next victim, it's best if he keeps a low profile for a while."
"Lewis nor Harry are it." Said Justin.
"You definitely think it is not the Potters, then, Justin?"
said a girl with blonde pigtails anxiously.
"Hannah," said the stout boy solemnly, "He's a Parselmouth. Everyone knows that's the mark of a dark wizard.
Have you ever heard of a decent one who could talk to snakes? They called Slytherin himself Serpent-tongue."
There was some heavy murmuring at this, and the stout boy went on, "Remember what was written on the wall?
Enemies of the Heir Beware. Potter had some sort of running with Filch. Next thing we know, Filch's cat attacked."
"That first-year, Creevey, was annoying Potter at the Quidditch match, taking pictures of him while he was lying in the mud. Next thing we know, Creevey's been attacked."
"Lewis and Saphera healed them all,
why attack them just to heal them." Said Justin.
"Colin is both his hose mate, and he treats him like a little brother. He likes all his brothers here."
"Lewis has risked his life for students here." Said Ernie.
"'He always seems so nice, though,' said Hannah uncertainly, "and, well, he's the one who made You Know Who disappear.
He can't be bad, can he?"
The stout boy lowered his voice mysteriously,
the Hufflepuffs bent closer, and Lewis edged nearer so that he could catch Ernie's words.
"No one knows how he survived that attack by You Know Who. I mean to say, he was only a baby when it happened.
He should have been blasted into smithereens.
Only a really powerful Dark Wizard could have survived
a curse like that." He dropped his voice until it was barely more than a whisper, and said, "That's probably why You Know Who wanted to kill him in the first place. Didn't want another Dark Lord competing with him. I wonder what other
powers Potter's been hiding?"
"You know there is one house secret of Slythdor?"
Said a boy, "It all makes since now, there a special room,
only the hair of Slytherin can open. Lewis opened it."
Lewis couldn't take any more. Clearing his throat loudly,
he stepped out from behind the bookshelves.
If he hadn't been feeling so angry, he would have found the sight that greeted him funny.
Every one of the Hufflepuffs looked as though they had been Petrified by the sight of him, but Justin and Ernie and the color was draining out of stout boy's face.
"My fellow Slythdor, house secrets should be kept as such,"
said Lewis, "Hello, brothers."
"Hi Lewis," Said Justin, standing up and hugging Lewis,
followed by Ernie. The Hufflepuffs' gasped when it happened.
Then Lewis whispered in their ears, "I think your house mats think I am going eat you two."
"I know you not." Said Justin.
They all looked fearfully at stout boy, but Justin and Ernie.
"I told him to stay in our house, you plain on attacking more of us muggle burns and half-bloods, you dark wizard." He said.
"Told you he was a bad choice for our club." Said Lewis.
"Your always proven right." Said Justin.
"Club?" Asked the boy.
"Yes club, but you never know." Said Lewis.
"Really?" Asked the boy.
"If I was truly the powerful wizard you think I was
at what one. Why would I not save my Mom and Dad?
I mean who would not if they could?" Said Lewis.
"Also did you not notice that the attack stopped right after I command it to move away." Said Lewis. "And Justin and Ernie are my brothers, and the snake bit me not Justin."
Ernie through and realized then said,
"The snake was heading to Lewis, then that jinx Lockheart attack throwing it at Justin, then it went after him,
then Lewis said something, the snake rushed Lewis."
The stout boy then said, "Looked like he chased it to Justin."
"I didn't chase it at him!" Lewis said,
his voice shaking with anger. "It didn't even touch him!"
"It was a very near miss," said stout boy. "And in case you're getting ideas, I might tell you that you can trace my family back through nine generations of witches and warlocks and my bloods as pure as anyone's."
"Slytherin and Gryffindor house both know who Lord Slytherin he is not behind this. I am a half blood. Why would I care about blood status. If I hated people like that, I would have to take out myself." said Lewis fiercely. "I don't know about the chamber till recent."
"I've heard you hate those Muggles you lived with,"
said the stout boy swiftly.
"I don't hate them because their muggles,
I hate them because there evil slime that took delight in being the shit out of me every time they could, for, for, for,
five years straight." Said Lewis, "Last day there he almost beat me to death, and…Oh shit did I just say." Then he realized what he just said, and he said thangs he should not have,
started baling and run.
Then Harry rounded the corner in shock,
Justin asked, "That true?"
"The last day, Vernon was drunk, then beat him almost to death,
he was more broken bones, The Doctor we have here worked for the hospital in London then, though he would die."
Said Harry. "I did not know about this, he keep it to himself,
can't believe it, he must have been told either he takes it,
or they would do it to me instead. Which is so him.
Justin and Ernie, can you all keep this secret please.
He has not told me yet, don't think he meant to tell you either, Justin you know Lewis, please."
Then Justin looked at them, "Lewis has done so much good,
we must keep silent, I think he got through off is all."
"He can't know I know, but can you go and promises you
want tell, I think he going run for it. He can't."
Said Harry, "He did not know I was hiding,
he was distracted, so don't tell him I was there."
"Starting to realize you two did not grow up at all like we through we through you two where with relatives that loved not hated and beat on you." Said Justin.
"It is partially true at six we moved in with our new family.
Which we where loved." Said Lewis. "I never got touched,
was only Lewis."
"So, who did you move in with." Asked Justin.
"Buch of nice red heads." Said Harry. "The Weasleys."
Lewis was running up the corridor, barely noticing where he was going, he was in such a distress crying.
The result was that he walked into something very large and solid which knocked him backwards onto the floor.
"Are you ok Lewis?" Asked Hagrid, pulling up the balaclava so he could speak. "Why are…" Then he saw Lewis' face,
covered in tears. Hagrid sat down the limp rooster,
then picked up Lewis and walked to an empty classroom,
sitting down on a chair.
"What wrong?" Asked Hagrid.
"I really missed every thang up." Said Lewis.
"I need a new school."
"Why?" Asked Hagrid.
"Was talking to someone, got tripped up,
then what happened at the Dursley came spelling out."
Said Lewis. "I can't stay here. I don't want anyone else know."
"Lewis, calm down, this can be fixed." Said Hagrid.
"No, it can't." Said Lewis, then Lewis started walking away,
Hagrid started following, leaving the roster on the ground.
Hagrid realized where Lewis was headed.
Then he saw Percy walk by, and ordered him, "Find Albus now,
need help with you brother Lewis, tell him to head to the tower, say the word, Dudley. Go now."
Then Percy run off to find Albus,
he found him then said, "Hagrid needs you now,
he says he needs help with Lewis, then told me to say Astronomy Tower and Dudley."
Then off popped Albus, to the tower.
Justin walked up to Percy and asked, "Were is Lewis."
"He seems to be headed to the Astromancy Tower,
you can't see stars right now." Said Percy.
"Oh shit," Said Justin, then ran for the astronomy tower at full speed, with the other Hufflepuffs in tow and said,
"When we get there surround Lewis, and follow me lead."
They ran past Hagrid, found Lewis and surrounded
him linking arms, "Lewis you not going up there,
we promise to keep you secret."
Lewis then looked at him, turned invisible to walk then walked past them and started up the stairs when they all saw Dumbledore. Then Albus said, "Justin bring you friends away."
"I can't Lewis is nearby and he planning on doing something stupid, something finial, someone off the top of a tower."
Said Justin, "Can't let this happen, and if he can hear me,
we promises to keep your secret. Even talk to,
we be there for you. Just don't jump."
"He told you about, his dark secret." Said Albus.
Then Albus stunned Lewis, and Hagrid caught him,
"Boys I need you to do something strange,
to save a life, I need to removed memories from you all."
"Sure, we will, it is memories we should not have."
Said Justin. "Lewis is good."
They were back in the library. He then scanned and removed the conversion about the Dursleys crimes and then edited them to just Lewis saying there evil.
Albus left, then they woke up, they all looked at one another,
and Justin asked, "Why are we sleeping in the Library?"
Lewis said, "Not sure. Justin let's go."
The stout boy then said, "So who next on your list."
"I don't have a list. My family is not pure-bloods.
I on this list you talk of, probably next." Said Lewis.
"You said your pure, why do I feel like this is happening again this conversion I mean."
Lewis then walked out and Harry then walked in and over,
and said, "Cedric looks like you stopped him from running."
"Who from what?" Asked Cedric.
"What do you…" Started Harry.
"Harry come with me." Said Albus. They walked out
and Harry asked, "What wrong with them?
They seem to have memory loss."
"What did you hear?" Asked Albus.
Then Lewis came back to the library and stopped,
grasped to his head. Looked at Harry realized something,
and just stood there. Harry noticed Lewis and he know.
Then Lewis walked off and Harry know where he was headed,
but Albus did not notice this.
"That Lewis was assaulted by them more than just the once."
Said Harry. "He did not know I was there."
"I need to remove this memory." Said Albus.
"Go ahead." Said Harry. Albus then removed the memories of the conversion in the Library.
"Professor I need to go." Said Harry. "Where was I going,
I don't remember now." Then Harry walked off to the HQ.
He then saw Lewis walk into his room.
Harry walked in, then and asked Lewis, "Something wrong…"
then he got his own memories back.
"You heard what was said in the library." Said Lewis.
"But the memory looking at my own back like I am looking through you eye instead of mine. I think someone
erased my memory."
"I just got missing memories when I saw you." Said Harry.
"Our brains are fuzzed as one, so one will restore memories to the other. I need to scan you." Said Lewis.
They then held hands and they patched together the memories and then Lewis put another safeguard in place,
in both their minds.
"Harry, I know you know they beat me for years now,
but I am not ready to talk about it. And I don't want anyone else to know, but somehow it is different you knowing.
Fells you have a right to know." Said Lewis.
"Me being yours after all."
"You are mine," Harry moved over and hugged Lewis,
"And I won't let go either. How do we both have memory loss?"
Asked Harry. "Who do you think did it?"
"Dumbledore." Said Lewis.
"Are you sure?" Asked Harry.
"Yes. Not sure why, but there a chunk still missing." Said Lewis.
"I think he also erased the boys' memories I was setting with."
"I think so to." Said Harry.
They then laid down and fell asleep with Lewis hugging Harry.
Hours later Lewis was walking with Saphera then came into a dark section of hall cold and wet.
Saphera relet the candles then they saw Justin who was lying on the floor, rigid and cold, a look of shock frozen on his face, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. And that wasn't all. Next
to him was another figure, the strangest sight ever.
It was Nearly Headless Nick, no longer pearly-white and transparent, but black and smoky, floating immobile and horizontal, six inches off the floor.
Lewis quickly said, "Let's get them back to normal."
Saphera touched them they glowed, and started moving,
"Justin, wake up." Said Lewis.
"Lewis?" Said Justin. "I was attacked by a snake."
"I know I been trying to find it to reseal it away."
Said Lewis, "But can't find it."
"Nick you back with us?" Asked Lewis.
"Lewis," Said Nick, "A ballast is on the lose."
"Glad you both are back with us." Said Lewis.
"I know been sensing it."
