Chapter 3 - Lily
" Lucius!" Tom announced with an evil smirk. Malfoy Sr visibly gulped, making Harry snort and Tom smirk wider, before stuttering out a
"Y-yes m-mi-milord," He then glared at Harry who was stifling chuckles. Harry just grinned cheekily in reply making Lucius roll his eyes before remembering the situation he was in and grew fearful again.
"Truth or Dare?" Tom asked, still smirking.
"T-truth my lord.." he replied, nervousness still in plain sight.
If possible Tom's smirk grew wider as he said "What are your opinions on muggles and muggle-borns?"
Lucius' eyes widened but thanks to the veritaserum he replied "Wizards and witches are superior to muggles but muggleborns aren't all bad,"
"Is that all?" Tom asked, amusement lacing his voice.
"Yes milord," Lucius quickly replied. He span the bottle and watched as it landed on Hermione. Coincidence?
"Truth or dare Granger?" He asked
Hermione beamed as Lucius didn't say the foul m-word she had grown used to during her time in the wizarding world. She schooled her face once more into a blank look. "Truth please, Lord Malfoy." She answered respectfully. To those who didn't know her it would look like she had a vacant expression yet to those who did, the worry in her face was clearly evident.
"Do you ever feel shameful of being a muggleborn?" Lucius asked, a weird gleam in his eyes. The others drew in a breath in either anticipation or worry. To everyone's shock a tear rolled down her face as she replied:
"Yes, I often feel unworthy of the magic I behold."
At this Harry, Ron, Neville and Luna jumped up to hug her, all the while whispering words of comfort and love. Sirius and Remus also muttered re-assuring words whilst those of the dark just watched on. Some had a look of longing on their face.
A longing to be comforted like that.
A longing to have friends.
A longing to have love.
They immediately shook those thoughts away. They were Slytherins. They would hand their mother in if it was helpful to who ever they allied themselves with. Most importantly, helpful to themselves.
Everyone finally settled down and the game continued. After spinning the bottle Hermione said:
"Truth or dare, Padfoot?"
"Dare!" he grinned. Later he would swear he heard Severus say "Gryffindor," under his breath.
After a moment of frustration Hermione yelled "Harry help me!" Sirius' face quickly transformed into one of horro as he realised his godson would be giving him the dare. Harry smirked and whispered to Sirius his dare. Sirius' eyes widened in fear as the implications of the dare hit him.
Sirius once more span the bottle.
"Truth or dare Luna?"
"Truth please Mr. Black"
"Are nargles and crumple-horned snorkacks real?"
Luna blushed as she replied "No, it's just how I hide the things I See. I'm a soul Seer.." Everyone looked surprised except one person..
"Harry.. What..Why?"
"Why aren't I shocked?" He asked with a raised brow as Luna nodded. He gave a sheepish grin and said, "in the DA I sort of cast a spell which would tell me the power level and abilities of everyone.. I was gonna do a 1 on 1 with everyone to talk to them about it. I also did myself. Here, I have the lists.."
With that everyone charged for them. (A/N I'll post this in a seperate chapter)
"Draco.. why are there a bunch of Slytherins on this list?" Lucius asked carefully.
Draco looks away so Harry answers for him. "Mr. Malfoy.. It's time I opened up. Me and Draco have been friends since first year when he discovered I was slightly.. greyer than the world believed. Him and the other Slytherins have been very helpful throughout the years. I can't imagine what I'd have done without them."
After Harry admitting that he was darker then people were led to believe, Severus and Tom both immediately thought Maybe we do have a chance with him after all. A quick glance at the other confirmed they were thinking the same thing.
After that Luna span the bottle.
"Harry Potter. Truth or dare?"
"Dare" He replied confidently
"Sing us a song about your life"
Harry gulped, but didn't back down. He got his guitar and set it up.
He walks to school with the lunch he packed
Nobody knows what he's holdin' back
Wearin' the same clothes he wore yesterday
He hides the bruises with baggy clothes
Everyone gasps, including the Dark Lord.
The teacher wonders but he doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes he wishes he was never born
"Harry.. say you don't believe that please!" Sirius asked tears in his eyes.
Harry looked away but kept singing.
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
Most people are openly crying by now
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel boy with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
Once everyone had settled down, Harry made lunch with Hermione's help. They decided to take a break. Harry asked Severus, Remus and Sirius to follow him. After a lot of corridors, the 2 marauders recognized the route and grinned, whilst Severus was still confused. They arrived at a room called "The Potter Family". Harry opened the doors and pushed Severus inside. He heard a faint gasp escape the man's mouth before he muttered one single word full of emotion which made Harry's heart clench.
"Lily."
I posted! I'm so sorry for the wait! At least all my revision paid off, I'm in the top maths set! Woop woop!
And, before I get anyone correcting me, IM SORRY! I know the song was released in 2008. IT JUST WORKS!
