A little bit of Hopeless Magic

Snape came over to them, holding a little bottle of veritaserum. "Henry, do we really need her to tell us that bad?" he nodded, "what if something el-"Henry grabbed the bottle and gave it to Ali. "Tell us."

She closed her lips together tightly. "Ali. Come on."

She sighed and Henry forced her to drink it.

"Alright fine, you want the truth?" she smirks.

"Yeah, kinda why we are doing this," they said.

"HENRY HAS A SMALL DICK!"

"ALI!" Henry exclaimed, "NOT WHAT WE WERE ASKING!"

Snape face palmed as Newt walked in, having already heard them. "God, Ali."

"Ali, we were asking what your dad does?"

"No."

"Yes we were."

"Hmph," Ali lied down.

"Tell us."

"I don't want to."

"What does he do?"

"Nothing bad," she tries to say.

"Ali," newt says, "I saw, not even all of it. But I saw, and I saw you crying over a trash can, and you were drinking, Ali, what does he do?"

"Wait, you were drinking?" Henry asked sadly.

"Yeah and so what if he hits me a bit?"

"Ali, he does more than hit you a bit."

"Newt, stop," she says glancing at Henry.

"Newt," Henry looked at him.

"All of you," Snape interjected with a voice of burnt honey, "drop it," he said, looking at Ali gently.

"I'm gonna go to my dorm, okay?"

They nodded as she sat back up.
