Wizards Of Love

Chapter 6

Krist struggled to maintain his composure and not strangulate the professor sitting in front of him. "Tell me." Professor Nat took a deep breath before starting. "Singto's family is one of the oldest in the wizarding world. He thinks his father is a muggle but that is not true. His memories were altered after the... uhm... accident." Krist was getting angrier by the minute. The professor continued, well aware that if glares could kill, the one Krist was currently giving him would kill his entire bloodline. "His family had been a great help to Harry Potter and the rest of Hogwarts during and after the war with Voldemort. His mother was an extremely powerful witch and Voldemort had time and again tried to bring her to his side. But she refused to leave the good for the evil. A part of Voldemort's army had escaped from the clutches of the Ministry of Magic and had been in hiding. It was one of these evil magicians who had killed Singto's mother. His sister and father were also injured but they survived. Singto was too young at the time to properly grasp whatever was going on. His guilt was so big that he didn't register much of anything that happened afterwards. It was decided that he would be safer within the walls of Hogwarts. His family couldn't protect him because they themselves had to go into hiding. So he was brought to us and he has lived here with us ever since, even during the holidays. He was given a specially protected room, separate from the rest.The attackers were all caught and they were in Azkaban but a few days ago, they escaped. That is why the dementors were here. But they have been recaptured so nothing to worry I guess. Now Singto is old enough to meet his family again, to know the whole truth. But he needs to see what had happened that day. That is where I need your help. You need to prepare him for the final round of this competition where he will have to face his evils from the past. He needs to be prepared for what is to come to him. And you are the only one who can do it."

Krist looked at the professor in stunned silence. "Why can't I just tell him?"

"Because his memories were... uhm... altered a little. He won't accept what you say because his memories will tell him otherwise. He needs to see everything with his own eyes before he can fully accept the truth."

Krist suddenly felt all his anger pour out. "You are all BASTARDS! All of you! You all left a kid to handle all this on his own. Have you ever seen him cry in his guilt? Did you ever try to heal his wounds? NO! ALL YOU PEOPLE FUCKING DID WAS LET SINGTO GO THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN ON HIS OWN! HE HAS BEEN LIVING THROUGH HIS WHOLE LIFE WITH SUCH A HEAVY GUILT. You all manipulated his memories so that he couldn't ever really escape from his guilt. All because of you bloody assholes. YOU ALL FUCKING BROKE HIM!" Krist took a breath to calm himself. Nat tried to explain even though he knew the young boy was right. "The Ministry thought it was best this way. At least he wasn't killed..." "He wasn't killed? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH HE HAS DIED IN THESE PAST YEARS? Do you see any trace of the cheeriness of youth in that boy? He has so much pain inside him, he never lets anyone in, he has died innumerable deaths in these years. And you dare to say he didn't die? Have you ever seen how small he looks, how fragile, how vulnerable, when he talks about his mother, when he refers to himself as a murderer although it wasn't his fault at all. It was just a few old blokes trying to decide what was best for him. And this is what they choose? They leave him alone! FUCK!"

Krist could feel his heart pounding in his ears. "I will help you. But I swear to God, if anything happens to my Singto, if he gets even a tiny ounce of hurt because of this stupid competition and your stupid ideas, I will murder the entire damn MINISTRY!" Krist walked to the door but just before walking out, he turned and said, "Mark my words Professor. If anything happens to my Singto, if he sheds even one more tear out of guilt, if he has to face any more pain, I will see to it that all of you suffer to death. I bet I could make some slow killing poison, which will kill slowly, one day at a time, like you all killed my poor Sing. I will be very discreet about it, no one will know who killed them. I promise." Krist gave a sadistic smile and slammed the door behind him. Professor Nat gulped involuntarily. He knew Krist was capable of creating Potions that would kill them and to be honest, he was very scared of the young man.
