Chapter 18
"Hey Harry!" Soren called, seeing him going up the stairs. He ran after him. "Harry."
"Oh, hi. Soren right?" Harry asked. Soren nodded. "So, you still thinking of coming to the DA?"
Soren nodded again. "Yes, I just have one question. Who's Voldemort?"
Harry looked up at him in shock. "You don't know?" His voice almost sounded condescending, but since Soren was still fairly new at being an Other he could be wrong.
"Well, I haven't exactly been here long. . ."
"No, it's fine. I didn't know who Voldemort was at first either." Harry sighed, looking ahead. "I take it you know wizards can be bad?" Soren nodded. "Well, I liked the way someone worded it. He said Voldemort went as bad as you can go. He believed only pure bloods were real wizards."
"Wait, pure bloods?" Soren asked.
"People whose family is all magical." Harry elaborated. Once again, Soren was reminded of the Pure Ones. He shivered. "Anyway, he'd kill anyone who didn't agree with him. So, he killed my parents."
"Oh. I'm sorry." Soren said. "My parents were killed by someone evil too, though not this Voldemort."
Harry shrugged. "It's okay. I don't really have any memories of them anyway."
There was a pause as they continued going wherever Harry was going. Soren opened his mouth to say he should get to the library, which was in the opposite direction, when Harry spoke again. "Anyway, Voldemort almost died when he tried to kill me, but now he's back! And no one believes me!"
Soren thought about it, then shook his head. "Obviously people believe you, or no one would have signed up for the DA."
