'Harry's Thoughts'
Chapter Two:
Slowly consciousness came back to Harry, groaning softly he opened his eyes and saw a sterile white ceiling above him. He knew that ceiling from anywhere on account of spending a lot of time in this room, slowly he looked around the hospital wing and notice that Madame Pomfey wasn't anywhere in sight. The second thing he notices was that he wasn't alone for in the beds on the left of his was Ron and Neville and on the right were Malfoy, Zabini, and Nott. Frowning he wondered what happen, then the memory of Goyle and Crabbe's potion explosion came flooding back and being sent flying across the room and knocking his head against a desk. Groaning he put his head in his hand he cursed them "Bloody idiots" looking up again he looked at Ron and Neville beside him. His eyes widen when he saw their skin and what looked like colored in tribal markings on it Ron's were a fiery red and Neville's were a dark brown, not noticing it before when he looked at them "What the bloody hell?" he whispered quietly.
Harry turned towards his right where Malfoy and the others were and saw that they too had the same markings on their skin, except theirs were a different color. Malfoy's were a silver color that stood out against his alabaster complexion. Blaise's markings were a stormy gray color that made his mocha colored skin looks all the more attractive. Finally Theo's markings were blue, the kind of blue that you see at the ocean on a clear and sunny day. Scared Harry slowly looked down at himself, gasping at what he saw curling around his arms and down the front of his hands were black as midnight tribal markings. Breathing heavily he raised a shaky hand and touched the skin were the markings were, he frowned when he notice that it didn't feel any different than the rest of his skin. As he continued to inspect the markings he heard voices coming towards the hospital doors, quickly he lay back down and feigned sleep.
Soon the doors of the hospital wing opened and two people came in. From the voices Harry guessed it was Professor Snape and Dumbledore. "Albus this is a serious situation you must tell them" Snape said. Snape's voice sounded frustrated with Albus about whatever they were talking about, "Now Severus, you know as well as I that it's for the best that they don't know it's for their own good" Dumbledore replied.
Hearing Snape give a heavy sigh "How is them being ignorant about who and what they are for their good" he pressed. "It'll be better to tell them and then help them to control it" he tried to convince Dumbledore. Harry frowned at the wording Snape used "who and what we are" what does he mean by that. Slowly so not to draw attention to himself he opened one eye, they were standing at the end of Neville's bed with their backs facing him.
"Severus why worry them with such an insignificant thing as this. It's best for them and everyone else that they don't know" Dumbledore said in a tone as if he had explained this a million times before. Harry saw that this didn't appease Severus in any way, from the deep frown on his face.
"Really, Albus? You and I both know that isn't the case" Snape said his voice tight with suppressed anger. "Just last year you were talking about telling them about what they are. Now all of a sudden you change your mind and say that it's for the best that they don't know" his voice getting louder with each word. His cheeks were flushed with anger, as he shot a glare at Dumbledore. Harry was shocked at this, never had he seen Snape so angry before especially at Dumbledore. He saw Dumbledore take a long look at Snape before replying.
"Yes, I was thinking about reveling this to them before, but that was just a backup plan for if the war was not going in our favor" Dumbledore said in a calm tone. "I would have told them then trained them to take down Voldemort, just in case if we were losing the war. Thankfully, it didn't come to that". Severus eyes widen at what he said, unknowing to him Harry's had widen also. 'He was going to just use us' Harry thought as he continued to listen in on their conversation.
"You were going to use them…like weapons" Snape said his voice barely above a whisper. "Ho…How could you do that" he asked his brow furrowed in unbelievable confusion. Dumbledore sighed at him "Honestly, my dear boy, it was for the Greater Good. Anyway it all worked out for the best" he told Snape as he turned around towards Harry's direction. Quickly Harry closed his eyes and pretends he was sleeping, while he continued to listen to their conversation. He heard them walking towards his and the others beds.
"I do believe that Pomfey may be in her back Office" Dumbledore said off handily. To Harry it seemed that he was just trying to avoid a continuation of their conversation. Apparently, he wasn't the only one to think this, cause of the heavy sigh that came from Snape. "Albus, stop trying to avoid the conversation" Snape snapped at him. "You were going to use those boy's to do your dirty work, then what Albus after they have done what you want, were you going to just throw them away like they're nothing" he spat at him in anger his cheeks turning red. Dumbledore paused in his steps, and then turned towards Snape.
"Severus, what is done is done, now drop it" he said his voice quiet and his face devoid of any emotion. Harry shivered as he felt a sudden shift in the air. From the shuffling of feet he assumed that Severus felt it to.
"I can't do that Albus, it's not right. You have to tell them, and if you don't I will" Snape threaten. Harry had to suppress the gasp that wanted to come out at Severus threatening Dumbledore. Suddenly the air growing still and cold harry shivered at the sudden change. "You will not tell them Severus, do you hear me. I forbid you from telling them." Dumbledore said his voice tight with suppressed emotion. "If you tell them, you will regret it Severus I promise you". Both Snape and Harry shivered without the other knowing at the coldness in Dumbledore's voice. Never have they heard such coldness from the usually cheerful man. "Now, leave and don't say anything about what we said today to anyone, understand?" Dumbledore told Snape in a warning tone. Harry assumed Snape nodded his head because a few seconds later he heard his footstep heading towards the infirmary's doors and then out into the corridor.
Everything was quiet until Harry heard Dumbledore sigh, and he felt a rush of magic come over him. He frowned at this what could he be doing, until it dawn on him 'a glamour' he thought. He called out for Madame Pomfey. Soon the missing healer came out from her back Office "Oh, Albus what are you doing here" she said as she came into the room.
With his grandfatherly cover back on "I just came to check on how the boys were doing" he said smiling. "Well, everything is just fine, except for a they have markings on them" Pomfey informed him looking over towards the boy's. She frowned when she saw there weren't anything on them. "What happen, there were markings all over them before, but now they're gone." She said confused.
"There weren't anything on them, when I came in" Dumbledore lied. Harry resisted the urge to open his eyes and stare at the Headmaster in shock 'I can't believe he just lied' Harry thought to himself. Harry heard Pomfey hum then say "Well I guess it was just a reaction to the potion spill on them" she decided.
"Well, let's wake them and check over them, to see if their okay" she said, before Harry felt another wave of magic go over him which he guess was a evaluate charm. Harry pretend to just be waking up, he sighed before opening his eyes slowly. On each side of him he saw the other also waking up, but for real unlike him. Harry looked over toward the end of his and Malfoy's bed where Dumbledore and Madame Pomfey stood.
"How are you feeling boys" Madame Pomfey asked as she started casting diagnostic charms over each of them. "Just Bloody fine, what the hel…What happen" Malfoy asked as he looked around. Harry snorted and said "Crabbe and Goyle" and that's all he had to say before Malfoy smacked a hand to his forehead and cursed them, just like he did before. "A bunch of bloody idiots" Malfoy cursed shaking his head.
"That's enough Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore said in a stern voice. "Now, how are all of you feeling" he asked. "Fine" all of them replied. After Pomfey finished checking Neville, she stood back "Well, nothing seems wrong. So I believe you all can go" she said give them the all clear.
"I'm glad all of you are all right, while it's almost time for dinner, you all can head down there now" Dumbledore said before heading out of the infirmary. Harry stared after him thinking over the conversation he overheard between him and Severus. He couldn't believe this other side he'd seen and heard of Dumbledore, and that he threatens Severus about telling him and the rest about something. Harry paused in his thinking 'What was it that they were talking about. It had to be something to do with those markings that was on them before' he thought as he got up off the hospital bed and walked over to Ron and Neville who were waiting for him at the infirmary doors.
He looked around and saw that Malfoy, Zabini, and Nott had already left. "Come on Harry, I'm starving" Ron called out to him. Harry rolled his eyes playfully "Of course you are when are you not Ron" he said in a teasing tone. Neville chuckled as the tips of Ron's ears turned red. "Well, come on let's get our starving friend some food" he said to Neville while slinging his arm around Ron's shoulders. Neville nodded his head in agreement and they all headed out of the infirmary and into the corridor and headed towards the Great Hall. As they made their way to the Great Hall, Harry couldn't help for thinking back to the conversation between Severus and Dumbledore. 'Why would Dumbledore want to keep something that concerns six boys a secret from us? But Severus had said just last year he was going to revel whatever it was to them'. 'But Dumbledore himself said that whatever it was he was going to use for his benefit. I would never have thought he does something like that, but I know for sure that I have to find out what this is all about'.
He was still deep in thought when he heard someone calling his name, turning his head he saw Neville and Ron staring at him. "Did you say something" he asked Ron and Neville frowned at him "Well, I was asking you if you wanted to go flying tomorrow after the hogsmeade trip" Ron said still staring at him funnily.
"Oh, sure that sounds good to me" he agreed. Neville and Ron shared a look "You okay Harry; you haven't be acting like yourself ever since we left the infirmary. Do you need to go back?" Neville asked him concerned. Harry shook his head and said he was fine, but they both were still staring at him in disbelief. Sighing heavily he tried to explain "Ok, no I'm not okay. While we were in the infirmary I overheard a conversation between Snape and Dumbledore that really unsettled me." He confessed to them.
"Well, what was it about" Ron asked curiously. Harry shook his head "It's too complicated to explain out here in the open for just anyone to overhear. I'll explain in the dorm after everyone is asleep" he told them. "Ok" they both agreed and they continued to the Great Hall. As they arrived at the doors to the Great Hall, and walked inside. They were clearly the last ones to arrive, for all four tables were filled with students eating and talking to their friends. Quickly making their way to the Gryffindor table, Harry and Ron sat next to Hermione and Neville sat down next to Seamus and Dean on his right with Ginny on his left.
"Oh, thank Merlin you're alright. I didn't know if ya'll were ok or not, what did Madame Pomfey say" Hermione fired away at them when all three of them sat down at the table and started loading up their plates when they appeared in front of them.
"We're fine, Madame Pomfey casted diagnosis charms and they all turned out good" Ron explained before she could continue with her questions. "Are you sure?" she asked not convinced.
"Yea, mates that was a pretty nasty blast and you guys and Malfoy, Zabini, and Nott took the brunt of it" Seamus said after swallowing a mouthful of food. "Yea, well that's what she said so that's that" Harry said. He was tired of talking about it, all he wanted to do was eat he haven't had anything since breakfast. For the rest of the time they sat and talked about what they would do at the Hogsmeade trip. "Well, I know for sure I'm going to Honeyduck's and load up on some candy" Ron said as he ate a large slice of double chocolate cake.
"I'm with you there mate" Harry said and Neville, Seamus, and Dean nodded in agreement. "Well, Ginny and I are going to looking for some more robes. Just yesterday the end of one of my robes got caught on the edge of a desk and it ripped" Hermione said and Ginny nodded.
"Cool, so after we're done with all that later we all can meet up at the three broomstick, for a drink" Harry said and the others agreed. "Ok, sounds good to me" Dean said. Soon dinner was over and everyone was headed off to bed. As they came to the portrait of the fat lady, Harry gave the password "Pigsnot" and the portrait open and they went inside.
"Well it's been great and all, but I'm tired so I'm hitting the hay" Neville said as he headed up the stairs towards the boy's dorm.
"I'm with him, it's be a long day, I've been blasted across a room and in the infirmary for the whole day." Ron said as he too followed Neville up the stairs. "Yea, I'm beat. See you tomorrow mione, gin" Harry said as he went up to bed, with Seamus and Dean following after him.
Up in the boy's dorm room they got ready for bed, after turning out the lights, they climbed into bed. Harry wait a few minutes before he open the curtains around his bed and called out to Ron and Neville in the dark. "Hey, Ron, Neville you still awake" he waited for a reply. "Of course, we are" Ron answered back. Harry heard shuffling before he saw them walking over to his bed, pulling back up in the bed and leaned back against the headboard. Ron and Neville climbed up onto the bed, Ron pulled the curtains back closed and Neville casted a silencing spell. "Ok, so what did you hear between Severus and Dumbledore that had you so unsettled" Neville asked.
"Ok, so I woke up before the rest of you earlier in the infirmary and after realizing what happened and of course cursing Crabbe and Goyle" Harry started explaining to them. "Of course, so what happen next" Ron asked.
"Well, then I started looking around at you can't believe what I saw" Harry said pausing in his story. Ron and Neville looked at him expect "Well, what did you see" Neville asked frustrated after he didn't continue.
"When I looked at you guys and the others, well you all had what looked like tribal markings on you, but all of a different color. Mine were black, Ron's were a fiery red, Neville's were brown, Malfoy's were silver, Zabini's were a stormy gray, and Nott's were an ocean blue" Harry explained what he saw. Before he could continue Neville and Ron interrupted "Wait, there were markings all over our bodies" Neville asked as he and Ron started inspecting their bodies.
"I don't see anything, what happen to them" Ron asked confused as he didn't see anything as he carefully examine his skin. "Well, of course not. Dumbledore put a powerful glamour on us I guess, because event Madame Pomfey's reveling charms and diagnosis charm didn't show anything" He explained. "Anyway, I'll get to that later. Then Snape and Dumbledore came into the infirmary and I pretended to be asleep. That's when I heard them talking and Severus was telling Dumbledore that he should tell us something about what we really are" harry told them.
"Wait, what do you mean what we are" Ron asked his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Well, I don't know for sure but it had to be something big, because every time Snape insisted that Dumbledore tell us this secret, Dumbledore would just say it was for the best that we don't know. Anyway Snape asked him why he changed his mind on telling us whatever the secret was last year during the war, and you won't believe what he said" Harry paused to see if they were following allow with his story ok.
"What did he say?" Neville asked curious, about what had gone down while he and the rest of them were asleep. "Well, he said that he was but it was just a backup plan for if the war wasn't going in the lights favor. He was going to tell us whatever this secret was then trains us to take down Voldemort." Harry voice grew quiet as he retold that part; it's the part that hurt the most. He could see that it had the same effect on Ron and Neville.
"He…He was just going…to use us" Ron stuttered out in a whisper. He couldn't believe that, why would Dumbledore do something like that.
"Yea, that's the same way I felt when I heard that. Anyway Snape really went in on him after that, he asked what was his plan for us, that we're were just going to do his dirty work then after that he was going to just throw us away". Neville and Ron's eyes widen at that. "Yea, I had the same expression on my face also. Well, sudden everything went still and Dumbledore said in the coldest voice I ever heard. That it was for the Greater Good, and that he forbid Severus from telling us about anything or anyone else or he would regret it". Harry finished and he took in the looks on Ron's and Neville's face.
"Wow, Dumbledore actually threaten Snape" Neville asked shocked. He couldn't believe that the usual cheerful and grandfatherly figure would do something like that.
"Yea, he really did. After that Snape left and well you know what happen from then" harry finished. It was silent for a few minutes before anyone talked. "I wonder what was so big of a secret that Dumbledore would threaten Snape for." Ron asked confused. Harry shook his head that question had been bugging him since leaving the infirmary.
"I'm not sure, but I want to find out and the only way to do that is go to Severus and ask him" Harry said.
"But how are we going to ask him, without Dumbledore knowing then doing something to him for telling" Neville asked.
Harry sat for a minute thinking this over, when it dawn on him "I could ask him tomorrow after we come back from Hogsmeade, and we can make a time to meet for him to explain whatever this big secret is" Harry said excitedly. It wasn't a great plan, but it might just work to get the results that they wanted. "Well, ok that could work. I kind of hope it does cause I'm curious to what it is, that Dumbledore desperately don't want us to know" Ron said as he canceled the silencing charm and pulling back the curtains around Harry's bed and climbed out. Neville followed after him.
"Yea, me too" Neville agreed with him. "Well, goodnight see you guys in the morning" he said and headed to bed.
"Goodnight, Nev." Harry and Ron said back.
"Goodnight, Ron" Harry said climbing under the covers of his bed. "Night, Harry" he replied.
