Harry didn't know how he had managed to go back to the Honeydukes' cellar and return to the castle. All he knew what that the return trip seemed to take no time at all, and that he hardly noticed where he was going, because his head was pounding with the conversation he had heard.
Dumbledore, Hagrid, McGonagall, Mr. Weasley..
Why had nobody told him?
Why hadn't anyone ever mentioned the fact that Harry's parents had died because their best friend had betrayed them?
Even Isabella.. she owed him the truth. She had been with them during their days at Hogwarts. Hell, they were close friends, from what he had heard.
Why had she never even mentioned it to him?
He turned in his bed with another sleepless night lingering in his eyes.
"If I were you, I'd hunt him down.."
Harry blinked. What was he doing? Thinking back on Malfoy's words again and again.
He sighed, mind pulling itself towards the Map in his drawer.
But then..
He quickly pulled the drawer, taking the Map out and closed the curtains around his bed.
It wouldn't hurt.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
The ink traced the map of Hogwarts on the old parchment after the owners greeted him. He opened the map wide, green eyes in the dimly lit wand-light quickly scanning over to find the familiar name.
But he found someone else instead. His eyes squinted in disbelief, he quickly kicked the sheets off his feet and made his way out.
The moment he got to the common room and the door opened, the girl outside jumped in surprise.
"Oh, for fuck's sake!" She bellowed before resting her hand on her chest, breathing out in relief that it was just him. "Harry! I almost dropped the snacks!" She whisper-yelled.
He blinked in confusion. "Ria, what are you doing here? It's like— what? Midnight?"
She pursed her lips, staring at Harry before she spun in her place and began walking. "Wait— hey! What the hell?" He followed her. "What was that?"
"Oh, nothing." She chirped. "Just acting the way you did after the whole drama that happened at the Three Broomsticks."
Harry blinked in confusion. "I was.. I was just upset."
"I know, you were. But you shouldn't run away like that." She said, her blue doe eyes scolding him. "You had the invisibility cloak with you. We couldn't catch up with you. It scared us. Don't do that again, alright?"
