THE UNTOLD TALE - Chapter VI
Summary: brought back to Hogwarts, Sunrise must face the truth about her past while trying to find out the real reason they’re back.
This is my first HP fic, it sets in a world the books were published to hide the whole truth about magic so it’s not chronologically correct, just go with it, please. Excuse my broken English. It’s quite a trip the whole thing and it takes a while before heating up. And if you have read my other stories, YES, I DO USE THE SAME NAME! A LOT.
“I know you guys are curious but it’s Saturday! Give me a break” Sunrise tried to argument after lunch.
“You left us with a major cliffhanger and now you want us to wait till Monday?” said Marta.
“Ugh! Fine. You’re so annoying!” the girl finally gave up.
“Don’t worry, she says that a lot about me too” Draco invaded the conversation.
“Okay, the hardest part is over, right?” she thought to herself even though she knew the answer was a big fat no. The next part wasn’t that hard to tell, not worse than the whole “My parents are Death Eater” thing. Of course, it embarrassed her a little bit. Maybe a lot. But it was not something wrong per say.
“Marta told me you were having second thoughts about telling your story today...” Ron began a few minutes later when Sunrise escaped to them.
“Here we go. Just say it” the girl encouraged.
“What happened during the summer? You never told us the complete story and I know it! I know it because Ginny told me to let go” he stormed.
“So you should” added Hermione.
“What? You know too? And you never told me? Come on! Harry, mate, are you going to tell me you knew too?” he sounded a little bit desperate.
“I mean, you were the one too busy with Lavender” Harry defended himself.
“Oh, great. Yeah, and you didn’t have time later” Ron said.
“Well, we were indeed a little busy, you know, trying to be alive and destroy Voldemort” Sunrise justified.
“I can’t believe I’m as excited as Marta for tonight’s session” he sighed.
Apparently, Sunrise was the only one who wasn’t excited. Even though deep down she felt a little something trying to organize everything in her mind. She knew that trying to hide anything would be impossible because Draco Malfoy would be in the room. She was also not ready to deal with Pansy Parkinson.
“Okay, let’s make it quick” later that night Sunrise stormed into the room.
It was sort of a relief to Sunrise that the only Slytherins there were Ingrid, Draco and Blaise.
“There isn't no way it’s going to be a quick one. Plus, it’s Saturday. We should party a little bit” said Draco.
“Yes, we should” agreed Raul.
“So... summer!” said Ron.
“What? Only girls talk?” Malfoy teased.
“So, summer that year was... weird” she began.
“Interesting” observed Draco.
“Obviously my parents explained me the whole Death Eater thing, it went like: ‘We were young and naïve. Narcisa is, as you know, one of my best friends, and she kept telling me all the things her husband heard the Dark Lord was doing to those who didn’t stand with him. So, to protected ourselves and our baby, you, we decided to join him. We never knew anything about Lilian and James. Honestly, do you think I’d left you in their house on the night the Dark Lord was going to kill them? As soon as we heard, we stormed off to tell them but it was too late. There’s a lot of wrong in what he does but you need to understand that things were out of control before him. We were scared. We still are’. And that was why they sent me to spend my summer on the Malfoy Manor. Trying to create a bond between me and Malfoy. She and her best friend wanted their children to be friends, meanwhile it was important to her to make me understand my place into this whole thing. When the summer was over-”
“NO!” she heard at least three voices screaming.
“You’re not going to drop the whole ‘spent the whole summer with Malfoy’ and not give us details” said Ingrid.
“The audience claims, Hewitt” added Malfoy.
“Fine. It was not that hard for us to... co-habit the same house. We tried to keep our distance at the beginning but my mind wandered to Dumbledore asking me to spy on them so I tried to befriend Draco. At the beginning it was mostly playing chess. Narcissa seemed really happy that we were finally getting along so she suggested a trip to their vineyard which we did. Every afternoon, right before tea”
“You drank tea with Malfoy?” asked Ron.
“Ron, shut up!” whispered Hermione.
“Uh, yes. And had dinner with the whole family. That was my summer. Now back to Hogwarts-”
“Funny” interrupted Malfoy.
“Nothing. I just- I remember different. Well, I wouldn’t say different, just... more” teased Draco.
“Maybe because it meant a lot to you” said Sunrise.
“What exactly, Hewitt?” by this point the whole room was silently following their debate.
“Oh, for Merlin’s beard! Tell us” said Ron.
“There’s nothing else to tell” insisted Sunrise.
“Well, I’ll tell then. After one of our trips to the vineyard, Pansy came visit me and, well, you know Pansy, she’s always over me” Blaise and Draco laughed a bit. “Of course, she stayed for tea, some chess and dinner. The next day, she appeared as well and it went on for over three days”.
“Three days? You meant three weeks” corrected Sunrise.
“I thought you didn’t remember, Hewitt” there was victory on Draco’s face.
“It’s starting to come back to me”
“Right, anyway, at some point she stopped because her family took a trip to whenever. On our first day free of Pansy, Sunrise made sure to make fun of her all day long. And, to be honest, it was pretty fun. After dinner, we went outside to see the stars-”
“Wait a second...” Ron tried to say something but Hermione stopped him with her angry face.
“And she went on making fun of Pansy and how much she throws herself at me-”
“I want to make a remark that I didn’t know back then that this was an anti-feminist behavior” added Sunrise.
“I can’t believe you interrupted me for this. Back to the ki- story," his mistake was planned to tease everybody “She was making fun of Pansy, something like ‘Oh, Draco, you’re so handsome. Oh, Draco, please, invite me for dinner’ always reaching out as a very exaggerated potentially more touchy desperately in love Pansy Parkinson but what sell the deal was the ‘Oh, Draco, kiss me’. And I did. Now you can go back to the Hogwarts part” he finished very pleased with himself.
“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU KISSED DRACO MALFOY!” scream Ron in disgust.
They all started talking over each other.
“Okay, guys! I was 14-” she began.
“About to be 15 and there was-” corrected Draco.
“What? Oh, I wasn’t ready. I’m not sure I can keep on listening to this. It’s way worse than you and Fred. Way!" said Ron.
“Hey, Ron! Frend and I were friends!” Sunrise was about to cry.
“I think we should talk about the school year” added Hermione,
“Right” the girl whipped her tears. “The school year. There was a gray area for me: should I back up Harry’s story or help the Death Eaters saying he was lying. I haven’t had new from Potter or Dumbledore during the entire summer so I only found out what to do after my first day. Dumbledore told me to do as I felt like. I decided to keep it quiet but it didn’t last long. After my first class with Umbridge listening to her saying my cousin was a liar I couldn’t keep it inside so I automatically said ‘he’s not lying’. She wasn’t pleased at all. I got tons of detention for standing up for him. I wasn’t talking a lot to the others because I was ashamed, that year I spent basically all my time with Malfoy and his gang. So, when I showed up to the Dumbledore’s Army it was a surprise to everyone”.
“Except for me, obviously” added Hermione.
“Hermione invited me after she found out I stood up for Harry and I attended to every meeting. But at some point, Draco started to get suspicious and I knew I had to do something about it and when Edgecombe denounced us, I saw the perfect opportunity. Draco had given me a hint that it might happen in the very near future so when it did, I was prepared. Now, an important information is that nobody knew I was playing spying on the Death Eaters. So, when we were running away and I captured Harry I had to give him a hint. I said ‘Dumbledore knows’. Which, now, I recognize wasn’t the best idea. After that I joined the Inquisitorial Squad and back then I received a letter from my mother, she sent through Draco because she knew he wasn’t being checked on and it was alright for him to read it. She asked me to spy on Harry. In order to spy on them I had to pretend to spy on Harry. Dumbledore advised me to do it. Another important information: I was having episodes in which I woke up very confused, sometimes with convulsions but ignored it. What I didn’t know is that it was due to the whole Harry-Voldemort story. It only hit me when we were taking the O.W.L.s. As you may know, Harry had an episode and fell off his chair. The same happened to me”.
“Did you have visions?” asked Lorena.
“No, it was all blank. I felt a lot of headache but that was all. Harry asked me that too when we were alone. When I said I didn’t, he told me what he had seen. I knew it was probably a playout by Voldemort but what if it wasn’t? I wanted to help my cousin, so I joined him. I knew I could disguise quickly as somebody who were helping to drag Harry to Voldemort if that was needed. I was very confused and there was no one responsible to help me at that moment. As you also may know, we got caught”.
“You know what? The whole image of Malfoy leaning back on the window, holding you against his body with a smirk just got even worse after the summer thing” said Ron.
“Funny story: I let her go when we walked outside the room to require Professor Snape’s presence. I guess she couldn’t run because it was going to be way to obvious to both sides” added Draco.
“How did you keep your spying status while helping Harry?” asked Marta.
“I didn’t have to. My parents attacked me right after we started running so I wouldn’t blow my cover to them. I blacked out till the end of it all” the girl explained.
“And your parents were sent to Azkaban?” asked Raul.
“Yes” a little bit of sadness could be heard in her voice.
“But... what did you do? Where did you go to?” asked Marta.
“I spent the last school days avoiding everybody” she tried to avoid the real question.
“Okay, but both of your parents were arrested, where did you go?” asked Marta again.
“Isn’t it obvious? To my family’s place” said Malfoy.
“You know, there’s something we never talked about” added Harry.
“Even though everybody was sick worried about me when we arrived at the station, Lupin told me they all tried to argue about that with Dumbledore. About you spending your summer with the Malfoy. I remember he told me that Dumbledore made that choice because it was the best decision for your safety but also for you heart, in a way, we could never understand what you were going through but Malfoy could”.
The girl was speechless. She knew it was true, but she hated that summer so much that she couldn’t help but feel angry about it.
“I know it was another sad day but it’s Saturday! Let’s try to shake it off. It was years ago. Am I right?” said Ron.
“Right” one of Sunrise’s least favorite thing was pity, so she was glad somebody changed the conversation.
