Truth Telling
The walk to Dumbledore's office was torcher for Izzie, 'Yep, I fucked up. That's me the fuck up,' she thought to herself.
Izzie found herself standing in front of a gargoyle statue, with Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall out in front and Remus beside her, "Everything will be okay. Just let me do all the talking," Remus whispered to her.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Izzie whispered back.
"Root beer flout," Dumbledore announced in a loud and clear voice.
The gargoyle statue jumped to the side to reveal s spiraling staircase that stated to go up. Dumbledore stepped on the staircase first and McGonagall followed.
"We are definitely not in Kansas anymore, Todoe," Izzie blurted out loud. Remus gave her a little push to follow McGonagall.
They entered the office. Dumbledore took his seat behind his desk and told Izzie and Remus to have a seat at the two chairs in front of the desk, 'Just like back home. At the principle's office…again,' Izzie thought to herself.
"Now, we have some business to discuss. I do not want to keep everyone from their meal. We will make this short. First, Ms. Timberlake, what happened in the Great Hall before the feast with Fred and George Weasley?" Dumbledore asked.
All eyes were on her. Really all eyes including the living prorates, "They move? Why do they move?" Izzie was getting all freaked out. Prorates in America don't move.
"They do that, Ms. Timberlake. I take it prorates don't move in America?"
"No."
"I'm sorry if they are distracting you. But if you look at me…there you go, and then they won't be such a distraction. Now if you will be so kind to answer my question, Ms. Timberlake."
"I…ah. I panicked. I sometimes do that," Izzie answered.
Remus interrupted, "When she panics she throws things across the room with her mid. She developed telekinesis when she was nine."
"Around the time she started magic school in America?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes," Remus answered, "It's possible for an abuses child to develop a form of telekinesis. Izzie was abused for seven years, and starting magic school…"
McGonagall interrupted, "The telekinesis was the only way for Ms. Timberlake to deal with her magical abilities."
"Can you stop talking about that in front of me. The abuse is in the past, and that's where I want to keep it," Izzie said.
"Understandable," Dumbledore said, "Now second, Ms. Timberlake after dinner I want you to apologize to Fred and George for throwing them around like a rage doll…even if they deserved it."
"So. I'm not expelled or…" Izzie asked.
"Not today," McGonagall said, "Now I think that it is best we go back down to the feast. I am sure you two are hungry from the train ride her."
"That sounds like an excellent plan, Professor McGonagall. But first…ah yes Madame Promfrey I'm glad you came. Ms. Timberlake this is Madame Promfrey, she runs the Hospital Wing. I asked her to come because of what happened on the train with the Dementors," Dumbledore said as he stood up, "I for one am starving."
With that the three Professors and Izzie walked back down to the feast. Once they almost reached the double doors to the Great Hall, Izzie took the led in front. Dumbledore and McGonagall gave a look to Remus as to ask 'What the Hell?' Izzie pushed open the double doors at the same time and walked in as if she owned the place. Mostly because she knew everybody would look up and they did.
Remus responded to Dumbledore and McGonagall's look, "She can't pass up the chance to make an entrance."
"I see," Dumbledore said.
Izzie made her way to the Gryffindor table and spotted where Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting. She took the open seat next to Harry, and once she did Fred and George ended their conservation with Harry and started another one with someone else.
"Hey guys," Izzie said.
"You didn't get expelled?" Ron asked.
"Ron!" Hermione said.
"Sorry," Ron said.
"No, it's okay Hermione," Izzie said, "No I didn't get expelled. Lupin and I just explained what happened and why it happened."
"Well, I for one and Fred, thinks you should have…," George said.
"Look, I'm sorry for throwing you guys on your faces. But I'll explain everything later. And if you feel like you could forgive me. If not that is okay."
Fred and George shared a look. They both thought they could not pass her explanation for what happened and why her eyes can change colors, "Alright. We decided we will let you explain yourself later," George said.
"In out dorm room if you like."
"But if not that's okay too," George said to the respond of Izzie rolling her eyes.
"Okay," Izzie said. Then she turned back to Harry, Ron and Hermione, "Boys."
"I know," Hermione said.
Izzie helped herself to chicken.
"I don't think anybody has ever refused to wear the shortening hat," Ron said.
"Really? That is pretty surprising, but I was not going to put that old hat on my head. But McGonagall have me a look."
"Yeah, she gives everybody that look."
"That's just you, Ron," Hermione said.
"You made the hat laugh. I never heard the hat laugh before. What did you say to make the hat laugh?" Harry asked.
Izzie explained what the hat said about finding greatness in Slytherin and her response with the 'pin cushion' nickname.
Everybody who was ears dropping on the story and Harry, Ron and Hermione could not stop laughing.
"Pin cushion?" Ron asked.
"Never mind."
"So Izzie, what brought you to London?" Hermione asked.
"Lupin did. He got offered the job. And where ever he goes, I kinda have to follow. With him being my guardian."
"So, what was up with you and Cedric Diggory?" Ginny asked.
"None of your business. What happened between me and Cedric is our business. Besides it happened a long time ago."
"If it happened a long time ago. How come he hasn't been able to take his eyes off of you since you came in?" Ginny pointed out behind her. Where no doubt, Cedric was looking at her.
Cedric and Izzie's eyes connected for a few seconds and then looked away.
"Some summer, huh?" Harry asked.
"Shove it."
After the feast; Harry, Ron and Hermione showed the way to Gryffindor tower. When they got there, Percy told everybody the password. 'Dietary Fiber'. When they got inside the tower, Professor McGonagall told Izzie she will be sharing a room with Hermione.
After the common room was almost empty, Fred and George come over to join the four of them by the fireplace.
"So," George began, "I believe…,"
"You owe us an explanation," Fred finished.
"You're apology might be excepted…,"
"If you gave a very juicy reason…,"
"As to why it happened."
"I developed telekinesis when I was nine…," Izzie when into detail of the same conservation that happened in Dumbledore's office. Of why and what happened that made her have this ability. She didn't go into a lot of detail of how bad the abuse was or what she went through.
"I'm…," George started.
"Sorry." Fred finished.
"We're both sorry," both of the twins said at the same time.
"Thanks. But that's history. What's done is done."
"Did Lupin do that to you?" Ron asked.
"No. Never. Lupin would never lay a hand on me," Izzie protested, "I love him like a father and he the same as me as his daughter."
"Well. It's late and we all have classes tomorrow. We need a good night's sleep. Good night," Hermione said.
"Good night everybody," Izzie said and followed Hermione up to their dorm.
"Good night," said the boys and they did the same.
Up in Hermione and Izzie's dorm room.
"Today was interesting," Hermione said.
"Today was one Hell of a day," Izzie corrected.
"Yes well, let's hope tomorrow will be a better day with less excitement," Hermione offered.
"I doubt that, but here's hoping. Besides, I hope tomorrow won't be boring, but less excitement is good."
"Around here its always exciting," Hermione said getting into bed after changing into her pj's, "Well good night. Come here Crankchanks."
"Good night," Izzie got into bed. And after a moment or two thinking about what tomorrow will bring, "Wait! What the Hell I'm I going to wear tomorrow?"
Review please. I will be updating soon.
