"What was that you just said there, buddy?" John needed to certify, that what he had heard was correct. Lucia had lied to Kennedy?
There was so much emotions going on in the eyes of the Slytherin Prince, that John could practically notice from a mile away. Hopefully this won't make things worse, surely there was a good explanation on why Lucia kept this secret from her son. All a mother wants is to keep her children safe...but from what or better yet who?
Kennedy looked up at John with a scowl on his forehead. This was not the time to be calling him
buddy.
"I said she lied, John," he said, trying to keep his voice even.
"Mom has lied to me all this time." He waved the bloody letter in his fist as if that would emphasize what he was saying.
He turned around and grasped the sides of the stone sink and stared at himself in the mirror. It was now that he cursed his green eyes because they were the same as his mother's. The person he's trusted with blind trust. The person he's admired for being honest during their times of hardship. The person he did everything for and his reason for working hard.
Kennedy felt a rising pressure in his chest, a familiar feeling that he held against his father for sixteen years. Dislike. Hate. But what got to him the most was disappointment. Disappointment toward the woman who preached honesty all his life.
He turned his head in John's direction, his knuckles turning white from how hard he was holding onto the sink.
"She...our family..." He didn't even know where to begin.
"Magic always ran through my veins. Mom's family isn't all muggle, John. She made me believe that I was some sort of freak for it and blamed it all on Father..." He shook his head as if that would scare the blinding headache away.
