Chapter 3- "Truth"
I was always haunted by that conversation, until I found out the truth about my Dad's 'death';
I was sad. My brother would be leaving for Hogwarts sometime next week, and sure James teases me and plays pranks on me but it still sucks not to see him. I would be left home with my little sister and as much as I loved and enjoyed Lily's company it wasn't the same.
On the upside to all that was my dad told me two years ago, that he would tell my siblings and me about his Hogwarts years and the second war.
This was now, I was ten, James was eleven and Lily was eight and we were just learning why people would call Dads name out randomly, ask for autographs, thank him almost religiously, and treat him like the greatest wizard on earth.
Dad, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione decided they would tell all of us together with our cousins, Hugo and Rose who were the same ages as Lily and me, respectively.
Mum wouldn't be here, she was away writing the Quidditch recap for the Prophet, so it was going to just be the famous Golden trio.(Through the years we heard little stories about their time at Hogwarts, but nothing major.)
Uncle Ron, Dad and Aunt Hermione sat on the couch across from us, and began with Dads story, and how he was the only one to survive the killing curse, from there he told us about growing up with his Mum's sister and her family, and how he didn't know he was a wizard until his eleventh birthday when Hagrid told him.
The trio retold how their undying friendship began.
Hours later, found us all on the edge of seats as Dad retold what had happened in the Forbidden Forest, as he became the only wizard to survive the Killing Curse twice.
He retold the final duel with Voldemort, with tears in his eyes, and when he had finished with "…And then I headed back to Gryffindor Tower asked Kreacher for sandwich."
There was complete silence, until Uncle Ron spoke, "And that is why I'm the most famous of the three of us."
We all burst out laughing when Dad said, "Yeah I wish".
Now I can't tell you how Lils or James felt but I can say this how I was so proud of my dad, and how he grew to be one of the greatest wizards in History.
I hurdled towards him and hugged him with all my might, and received back a hug just as great, after me was the rest of the family.
"Daddy I'm really happy you didn't die." Came Lily's small voice, from next to me, and I had to agree with her.
"Thanks Lily-Flower."
"Dad I can't believe you survived the Killing curse twice." James shouted excited. "I can't wait to go to Hogwarts!"
"Yeah Voldemort didn't stand a chance, with you there Uncle Harry." Hugo said from the spot next to Uncle Ron.
Suddenly a thought came to my head, "So that's what Aberforth meant!"
Harry chuckled sadly, "Yeah pretty much."
Learning about Dads amazing life, had given me a push too strive for greatness, and this thirst to prove myself.
Little did I know though Dad never told us the entire story, like he never mentioned Horcruxes, Break-ins at Gringotts, or the exile he was put through to save us all. And a part of me, when I heard this later held a bit of resentment
Authors note- Well, I wasn't to sure with this chapter because in the epilogue, the kids seemed to not understand why people were staring so *shrugs*.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed and all that fun stuff!
Please Review for this rather dull chapter!
