It was a brief break. Harry could see on one corner that the women in the hall were talking about taking care of his mother. He could only sigh as he saw Mrs. Weasley was leading the conversation, even Lady Malfoy is part of that conversation, Merlin.
"Are you okay, Harry?" Ginny got his attention. She was looking at him with worry, at the corner of his eyes; he could see Malfoy (Draco) talking with his father.
Harry gave the youngest Weasley a soft smile, "I'll be okay, Ginny,"
She looked at him, not believing him for a moment, "Are you sure? We could get your mum and dad."
Harry laughed for a bit, "I'm sure, Gin,"
"CHAPTER 11: THE AMETHYST KEYS," Harry made a face. So much for keeping that a secret. Some of them are gonna be pissed off at him for lying.
Callisto hasn't let go of his mother at all since she had told them her story. It was understandable, of course. His mum and dad had also kept an eye on them; considering that his mother is still weak from the previous battle, her magic is still unstable for the most part, hence they have been doing all the work.
"It's a great exercise too!" Callisto reasoned out (lied) when his mother offered to help them during the time their camp was almost ambushed by idiot bandits.
His mother made a face at the poorly made excuse. Of course she wouldn't believe them, she was used to being the one in the frontlines. The shield. Of course it was a bit jarring for her at first.
"You suck at lying,"
"HEY!"
Then Callisto had a brilliant idea.
"Harry!" Hermoine and Ron groaned in exasperation. Harry cringed, while Sirius, Remus, and Lily looked at Potter Sr with the same exasperation the 2 out of 3 golden trio had with Potter Jr.
Now listen, his dad approved of his idea.
"Your idea sucks! What were you thinking!?" Both Hermione and Remus scolded the father and son duo (But Remus was scolding James with the ; "How could you pass this trait onto our cub, Prongs!? Are you going stupid!?")
Both Potter men made noises of disagreement with their so-called harsh treatment. Bright brown eyes and light gray eyes looked at their fated with amusement, which went unnoticed by all. Lily was smirking, but her eyes were filled with fondness and amusement for her husband and son.
He had his dad convince his mum and mother that he would be away for a week to do some treasure hunting, while it is not an unusual behavior from him, but it was weird for him to leave his mother's side in her weakened state.
It was hard, but he had to. He had to make sure that the rumors were real.
There were nineteen amethyst keys at a Lake Catacomb northeast from where they are currently at. He has to get it, in addition to new friends, he has extra power-ups in dire situations.
Silence.
Then everyone looked at Harry, who suddenly decided that the floor looked interesting.
"Harry." Hermione's voice was clipped. Oh hell.
"What did I do?" He "innocently" asked her.
"Did.. Did you just lie to us about not being able to use Spirit Keys?"
"Nooooo..?" He didn't look at her.
Stareeeeeeeeee (a/n:like those anime effect lmao)
"Really,"
