As Neville and I walked into the Great Hall, I noticed looks of curiosity, anger, and disgust coming from the Gryffindor table. Ravenclaw's noses were stuck in their books, not paying any attention to anyone, as they absent-mindly ate their food. The majority of Hufflepuff's were trying to convey their support through looks, with the occasional thumbs up. Slytherin's looked like they just got the best news ever. Which to them it probably was, new material to bully me over. 'Ugh! How did I know news would travel this fast? Gryffindors couldn't keep a secret if their lives depended on it.' I just sigh to myself. 'I should be used to it by now. It's not the first time my house has turned their backs on me.'
Neville and I sat across from each other at the end of the table. The rest of the house giving us a wide berth, so noone was near us. "Don't worry about it Harry. If they can't accept you for who you are, they aren't worth it."
"Thanks Nev. I'm not really worried, I'm more... exasperated then anything. If I was any other student my private life would not cause such a stir. For example, I don't see anyone giving Seamus, Marcus, or Dean any trouble for being gay." I shake my head at this whole situation as I fill my plate and begin to eat.
"That's because nobody knows that they are gay. Seamus and Dean keep their relationship hidden from the rest of the Gryffindors for this exact reason. I'm sure Marcus has his own excuses." Neville fills me in. "While being gay in the Wizarding World is accepted and normal, you will always find ignorant, fickle minded people." He finishes.
"You're right. I know this. I just hate all the attention, especially over something that should be noone else's business but mine. Plus, I may be gay but none of the guys here are my type! If I never said anything, none of them would have known." I grumble out.
Neville just laughs and before he can respond Dumbledore stands catching everyone's attention.
"Students, we have some disturbing news, Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy have gone missing at some point last night." Shocked gasps fill the Great Hall at this news, followed by loud whispers as students speculate what happened. I contort my features into one of shock, so noone would suspect that I was involved.
Dumbledore clears his throat to get the attention back on him before he continues, "It has also come to my attention that the reason they have disappeared is because they are loyal to Voldemort and have returned to be by his side fully. I wanted to apologize to my students and Professors for failing them." Now I don't have to feign shock because I am truly shocked now. The lies! If they weren't already out of the country, they would be hunted down and KILLED for accusations like that. The whispers in the Great Hall turned into shouts of shock and anger. "Please I understand this comes as a great shock but also know we are rectifying the situation. Also, we are going to be checking each student and Professor for the Dark Mark. You won't be able to hide behind a glamor. One last thing, if anyone has information on Professor Snape or Draco Malfoy, please come see me. You won't be in trouble."
As soon as Dumbledore finishes speaking, Ron stands up and shouts "Harry Potter might know something. He left the tower last night at some unknown time and came back just before 7 this morning."
All eyes turn towards me now. I'm getting suspicious looks from everyone except Slytherin, who just look midly curious as to why the 'Chosen One' would cover for any of them. I shoot Ron a glare, while he just smirks at me. 'Well fuck! This isn't good, not good at all. It's a good thing I learned Occlumency or else we'd all be truly fucked! Ron, you will pay for this.'
Dumbledore looks across the Great Hall to me, "Harry, please come to my office after breakfast is over so we can discuss this."
"Of course Headmaster." I bow my head to show acceptance and shame. Though is was mainly to hide my furious expression.
Neville looks upon me with sympathy and concern. I could tell he wishes to see the Headmaster with me but I just shake my head at his silent question. If I'm going to lie, I don't want anyone else dragged into it. I also know I need to write another letter to the safe house and provide the memory of this mornings breakfast but I know my mail will be watched from now on. No matter what, I know Dumbledore knows I had something to do with this. It's why he made up the lie about them following Voldemort because if I speak up, then it confirms his suspicions.
'I will just need to gather evidence that they are all innocent. Obviously Dumbledore isn't going to help and they all believed in him way too much to have evidence of their own. Maybe I can convince them to start collecting their own memories. I'm sure they have quite a few.' I think to myself. It's the best plan I have for now.
As the Great Hall clears, I gather my things to head to Dumbledores office. "I will catch up with you later Nev. Please be careful. I don't want you getting hurt because of your association with me."
"Don't worry about me Harry. Just worry about clearing this up with the Headmaster. Ron really put a serious accusation against you."
I just nod at Neville and walk towards the Headmasters office. When I get to the Gryffin I bite out the password "Ice Mice" and step onto the stairs heading upwards.
Before I can knock, the door swings open and I see Dumbledore sitting behind his desk.
"Ahh, Harry, my boy. Please come and sit. We have some things to discuss. Tea?"
