Gavin Olden Sunday morning
I awoke to find Justin by the bed I lay in.I glare in his direction. Why was he here. He looked up and began to speak, "I'm so sorry, I don't know why I did it."
"What?" I said with spite. He had no way to justify what they had done. My hand naturally came to my scarred face. The gashes were gone but slight scars showed where they once had occupied my face.
He started to speak and then stopped to start again. " I told them about your connection with you-know-who. I told them right before school started. I think I just wanted to gain their trust or something. Anyways it was mostly Zacharias and Andrew that were fueling the whole enemy idea."
I flinched when he mentioned that monster. My great grandfather was the father to Voldemort. My family hated him, he had ruined our lives. We were often judged by those who knew our secret genealogy. My great grandfather had been remarried and had one daughter before meeting his end.
That daughter was my grandma and step sister to you-know-who. This information explained why they didn't like me.
Justin started to speak again, " I don't know why I did it, I felt so guilty, and I thought if I stopped hanging out with you I would stop feeling that way."
I felt so betrayed, I turned away from him. "I trusted you with that secret... and you better tell your friends that I hate the man that helped bring you-know-who into this world. And don't say, I don't know why I did it again"
As I said these words I felt a weight go off my shoulders. I realized that I really shouldn't care what they thought of me. I had other friends. Who I was wasn't determined by my ancestors.
Justin said another almost silent, "I'm sorry" and left. I hoped that our previous friendship could get over this. I had a lot of fun the last two years but because of all that had happened recently my life had been turned upside down and I hated it. I wanted life like it used to be.
tried to get up sending pain through the million scars. I fought the pain and got out of bed. It felt good to be up. I pictured Madam Pomfrey coming in and freaking out, but I felt fine in fact I felt like going out on my broom.
