Lies Revealed

Lucius

Once everyone was in the office and seated Dumbledore summoned some tea. Sakura was sitting between Lucius and Severus with Draco sitting on Lucius' other side. McGonagall was sitting between Weasley and Granger. Mrs. Pince was sitting in a summoned chair next to Draco. Volmaro was next to her.

"I would like to see the memory, please, Mrs. Pince." Lucius said.

"Gladly. Severus, please?" She didn't trust Dumbledore to not toss in a memory charm before removing the memory.

"Certainly." Severus pulled out his wand and took a vial from his pocket, cast the spell, and using Dumbledore's pensive placed the memory in one of the holders on the pensive. "I am also going to take memories from Sakura and me. The first one will be the meeting we had with Professor Dumbledore." He knew Dumbledore wouldn't want that memory to be seen. Severus took the memories and placed them into the shimmering water of the pensive and added the next to the automatic slot for them to review next.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Severus, Volmaro, and Lucius entered the pensive. Everyone was furious when they exited the memories. Severus reigned in his temper. "You couldn't even wait two weeks before you spoke of her scars."

"I was doing what I thought was best." Dumbledore wanted to kill Ron. He knew any trust that he could have built between him and Sakura was gone. The same with any lions. He had originally told Hermione and Ron to help them work on gaining the trust of Sakura and understanding why the Girl might be reserved in her trust.

"He is suspended. I will inform his mother." Minerva wasn't going to give Dumbledore time to say it was a misunderstanding or something. She had warned him about breaking his word and telling anyone.

"2 weeks." Lucius wasn't going to allow this to go unpunished. Dumbledore went to protest but Lucius looked at him directly. "Be thankful it's not longer. The only reason it's just limited to two weeks is that no wands were drawn. However, what was said was beyond cruel and uncalled for. Albus, if I thought I could get away with it, I would ask the Board to suspend you for the same time frame."

"I want to leave Hogwarts. Everyone is going to be looking at me." Sakura's soft-spoken words were heard by all.

Severus thought Sakura had been quiet because she was calming down. He wasn't expecting Sakura to ask to leave. "Let's discuss that when you have calmed down a bit more. You have a calming potion in your system and it's been a charged night." His glare stopped Dumbledore from interrupting. "How about I take you to my quarters?" Sakura looked at him and nodded her agreement. She stood up and headed to the door. Draco followed him. "Lucius, perhaps you could stop by my quarters."

"I will." As soon as Severus and the boys left, Lucius looked at Dumbledore. "I will work on keeping her here as well Severus. Sakura needs to learn to control her magic. However, that being said, after seeing that memory, you are never to meet with the Girl by yourself. If I find out you have I will submit this and the other memories to the Board."

"Please inform Miss. Potter that she has the support of the staff." McGonagall stated.

"Yes, she does." Dumbledore earned a glare from those in the room.

Lucius rose. "I believe we're finished here."

"Yes, yes. Thank you for your time, Lucius." Dumbledore stated. "Minerva, perhaps you will remain behind while we work on informing Molly of the situation."

Lucius, Volmaro, and Mrs. Pince left the office. At the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Pince stopped them. "I am not sure what Albus was thinking but that Weasley boy and Granger have been nothing but trouble since they arrived."

"Thank you for that information. If you have any more issues, please let me know." Lucius stated.

"That coward should have been expelled when he sliced her back open." A fourth year Ravenclaw commented.

The entire great hall agreed.
