Thread: Adderstrike(HP)Church/Moon

Harry stared at Blake for a long moment and then with words as cold as ice, he spoke. Zach was the one who rescued me from a lifetime of beatings, starvation, an being locked in a tiny cupboard under the stairs. he nearly raised me himself, him and the rest of Adderstrike. do not think that i do not know exactly the pain that you are feeling with his death. Harry hissed before instantly calming as he led the way to the kitchens. Harry smiled as he was promised a week and he paused as he stared into Blake's tormented eyes. Blake... Zach was a good... no, he was a GREAT man. Harry murmured softly, emotion in his voice. he was one of my most trusted advisers after The Father died. yes The Grandfather is still here to give me advice when i needed it but... he was old, and Zach was not. Zach had a way of seeing things the way no one else did... but the fact of the matter is, he did do those things. Harry admitted, closing his eyes. i wouldn't have believed it myself if we hadn't found the video tapes and the journals... he was hurting boys, and he was trying to resurrect Gellert Grindelwald... a futile attempt since the once Dark Lord isn't really dead, just locked up. Harry admitted, blinking at Blake. the fact of the matter is, that while we know he DID do those things we don't know WHY, he did it, or why he chose those boys over others. Harry admitted. i am trying to find the truth, maybe he was doing a good thing, maybe he was protecting Adderstrike... maybe he was sick? i don't know but until i know without a shadow of a doubt that Zach was bad and a traitor, his name will not be spoken often in these walls, it is forbidden to utter the name or the crimes of the one on trial, to prevent rumors, hearsay, and personal opinions before the trial. he paused. dead or not, he will receive the proper, and fair trial he deserves, and whether he is guilty or not, he is Adderstrike, and once Adderstrike, always Adderstrike. he shook his head. there are a lot of journals, and a lot of videos. if you want, i will allow you to search through them. it will be good to have a fresh opinion on things and i think that perhaps you know Zach far better than any of us ever have. he paused as the room was flooded with people and he watched them all take plates of food and start talking, checking to make sure the littlest ones where being taken care of, and making sure that the older ones weren't taking more than their fair share. your items are in your room. Harry explained. along with fresh clothes... not all of them are new but all are clean and without damage. we'll be finding you a toothbrush as well. Harry muttered, clearly in reference to the boy with the rotted teeth. once dinner was done the people left as quickly as they appeared and Harry stood, glancing around and smirking as he found Snape in deep conversation with a man his own age. stupid old men. Harry grumbled rather affectionately. please, follow me Blake. i'll show you to your room. Harry assured the other, leading the way down the long Hallways and to a room marked 23B. this is your room, and this is your key. Harry handed the other a small key. don't lose that it's the only one we have for this door. Harry muttered as he pushed the door open and let Blake look inside. it was a typical hotel room, there was even a TV. we don't get cable or any telivision stations, but we do have game systems and movies you can check out from out 'library'... most of it's stolen. Harry admitted with a snicker. all of the residents of the B corridor are under the watch of Raze. Harry explained, indicating a very tall black boy who was easily in his early twenties. if you need anything, from extra food, to new shoes, he's the one you talk to. if you have a problem with a neighbor or another person within the Adderstrike, he is also who you talk to. there are very few rules here but the ones that are here are very important. if you break one, you will be punished very harshly. Harry warned. The rules are as follows. you do NOT Steal, hurt, or kill another Adderstrike. Harry stated this so firmly that it was clear anyone breaking those rules would probobly have their hands chopped off or worse. Never harm an innocent. that means no children are to EVER be hurt and pregnant women are completely off limits. do not cause purposeful damage to the property, especially tot he upstairs, we have a hard enough time keeping that damn place standing. he paused, checking to make sure that Blake understood. and finally, respect your betters... there aren't many. just me and whatever teachers we've cobbled together. Harry admitted, shaking his head. if they are over their twenties, then you usually need to be respectful. they are giving up their valuable time to come and teach us. there was another pause as Harry stared at the other, frowning. you look so familiar for some reason... he muttered softly, his head tilted. i know i should remember you... he mused, his emerald eyes staring at Blake for a long moment before shaking his head. never mind. in any case, every night at about seven, there is a late night snack in the kitchen as well if you get hungry. so long as you aren't too messy, your more than welcome to keep packaged or canned food in your room. you can either get it from the cooks, or you can buy or steal your own. Harry assured the other. i'll leave you here for now, remember to talk to Rave if you need anything. he's a bit of an Insomniac so he's almost always awake. and with that, Harry left Blake to examine the pile of clothes left for him, as well as his new accommodations complete with his own bathroom.
