Harry Potter The Unseen Heroine

Chapter 42: The Truth About Harry Potter



After some note taking Snape paired us up, me with Lisa, and we started making a potion to cure boils. Potion making was intense and required you to be exact, put in this much crushed Snake Feng's, weigh dried nettles to the exact kilograms. It was intense.

Snape made it worse. He would stand over students cauldrons and bark orders or warnings at the most inopportune time...Except us.

When he reached me and Lisa he quickly looked inside our cauldron, said nothing, then went on to the next pair whom he quickly began to berate. Yet ,other than calmly asking me questions like any Professor would ,he hadn't spoken a word to me?

And he supposedly hated Harry's guts?

Eventually the confusing period ended and everyone scurried off. We headed out of the dungeons.

"Are you sure Harry wasn't just pulling your leg?" Anthony asked me in astonishment.

"Maybe it really was a Gryffindor thing." I replied.

"But he treated you better than the rest of us?" Padma asked

"Yeah, even if he hates Harry because he's a Gryffindor, he should still treat you like the rest of us. He practically ignored you." Mandy added on thoughtfully.

"I'm just in the dark as you guys." I replied shrugging. Everyone looked at each other.

"At least it's over, thankfully we only have his class once a week." Padma said, and Michael nodded.

"Agreed, now I don't know about you guy's. But all this class work can be so exhausting." Michael said as he yawned. "I'm going to take a nap."

"Me to." Terry added as he followed.

"Maybe if didn't stay up until...whatever." Padma said shaking her head and muttering as she, Morag, and Mandy strode off, leaving just me, Anthony and Lisa.

"How late do Michael and Terry stay up?" I asked curiously.

"When I drift off there usually still up talking Quidditch." Anthony replied.

"Sounds like perfect roommates." Lisa said grinning.

"You get used to it." He replied giving a defeated look.

"When's your tea with Hagrid?" Lisa asked as she turned to me.

"I should probably start heading his way." I replied.

"Well have fun." Anthony said.

"You two want to come?" I asked.

"Of course." Lisa answered. Though Anthony looked unsure.

"Is your brother going to be there?" He asked.

"Anthony, it's been over a week. Harry's had enough time to get used to the ogling." I told him.

"I mean I don't want t..."

"Are you going to ask for his autograph?"

"No..."

"Are you going to ask for a photo?"

"No but..."

"It's fine. In fact it's worse if you don't want to meet him." I said as I rolled my eyes.

Anthony looked at me nervously.

"He's not a celebrity, he's a student same as us. It's fine." I said firmly. Anthony took a deep breath then nodded.

"If you say so."

The three of us started our way across the ground to Hagrid's. He lived in a small wooden hut near the forbidden forest. The whole way Anthony tried flattening his hair, and mumbling greetings.

"Anthony, calm down." I told him as we approached Hagrid.

"I'm trying..."

"It's not like were meeting the Prime Minister." Lisa told him.

"The what?"

"The Muggle leader." I explained.

"Oh...so like the Minister of Magic?"

"Yes just like the Minister of Magic. Now calm down." I told him

"You don't understand. I've heard the legend of Harry Potter since I was a toddler...it kind of is like meeting the Prine Mini..."

"Prime."

"Prime Minster."

"You met Sarah? You've been normal around her?" Lisa asked him confused.

"I mean no disrespect, but Harry, he's the one who..."

"Defeated you-know-who." I answered for him.

"...yeah."

"I guess that makes sense. May I ask a question?"

"What." Anthony replied nervously.

"In the supposed legend of Harry Potter how much did they mention me?" I asked.

"That you were there that night, and you weren't touched...and that you're his sister." Anthony replied sheepishly.

"I figured as much." I replied annoyed. Anthony looked at me with guilt.

"Listen Anthony, he's just a normal boy." Lisa told him.

"Who survived you-know-who."

"Anthony, you are about to meet my brother, and when you do you'll see he's just like every other student in this school. Just talk to him like you when anyone else." I said leaving no room for argument.
