HARRY MADE SURE to grasp firmly to his godfather's sleeve. His action tries to relay his comfort and also to calm him down from his anger and denial. But he could see that not only was his godfather angry, he was also upset with the revelation.
And so were his parents.
Especially his father, who looked like he was fighting the urge to curse and lash out. Lily, beside him, was stoic but Harry could see the glimpse of sadness on her green eyes. And Harry was tempted to ask what's wrong.
Isn't this an opportunity to learn about Voldemort's weakness? To put an end to all the nightmares and death who followed the bloody git? Everyone looks to be dubious.
"You've got to be fucking joking!" Sirius gritted out.
Dumbledore, for the first time for everyone to see, lost the twinkle in his moon eyes. He looks to be upset as well. Devastated, even.
"I'm afraid not, my boy." He grimly said and gestured to the hologram behind him, big enough for the whole people in the hall to see from afar. "As you can see, it has already been set."
Lily, Harry's beautiful mother, stepped up and asked calmly. "How do you expect us to believe in such a thing? Memories sent from the future? That's mental, professor. You of all people should know that."
"There is nothing impossible in this world, my girl." Dumbledore wisely said.
"Perhaps this could be the answer we are trying to discover in order to put an end to He-who-shall-not-be-named." said Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
"What I'm wondering is why about Regulus Black? Wasn't the girl a Death Eater?" Madeye Moody grunted.
Sirius visibly stiffened. And that gives Harry the answer he needed.
Sirius little sister was a sore subject in their family. Sirius was still bitter about the path his sister took, and also upset about her mysterious end. James and Lily were indifferent about the whole thing, though Harry was sure he caught his father once drunkly murmuring about the deceased Black.
His father was calling the name of his namesake over and over again.
But yes, today, everyone was called to the great hall to watch some memories about the past and glimpse of the future. Said that it will help them in the war and prevent deaths, as in plural, and such. And it was upsetting that it would focus more on the dark side. On the Death Eater's side.
But Harry was sure this is an opportunity to learn about their movements and plans. Especially that Voldemort just came back last year during the Tri-Wizard Tournament.
"We'll watch."
Everyone was surprised of what the Boy-who-lied had said. Even Harry himself was, too. He grew timid from the many eyes set on him. His parents look worried and Sirius and Remus was looking at him questionably.
But despite that, Harry found his voice.
"Let's watch them. And only then we will know if it's the truth or not." He stood his ground. "We can't missed this chance. I can't missed this chance." A chance to truly understand his parents, Remus and Sirius pain about their past.
"The boy is right." Amelia agreed. Glaring at Fudge whom looked like he was about to oppose. "Let us try, and learn, what's inside these memories."
No one could argue with that.

Fantasia"When we sacrifice for family, we create a legacy of love that will endure for generations." But that didn't apply to Regulus. When she sacrificed for her family, all she was given was the title of a Coward and a TRAITOR.
