Artemis Hexley and the Circle of Khanna

Chapter 17: Telling the Truth

A/N: Artemis finally speaks out, and the statue curse returns. Warnings: discussion surrounding death, grief, loss, war, trauma, and guilt.

Thankfully, Artemis was not the only one to emerge the morning after the full moon unscathed: Beatrice Haywood was discharged from the Hospital Wing the following day having shown no signs of lycanthropy whatsoever, much to the relief of everybody, particularly Penny Haywood and Chiara Lobosca. After the night in the forest, Artemis and Chiara had spoken at length, and Chiara had finally told Artemis the truth.

Chiara had been a werewolf since before she even started Hogwarts; that was the real reason she had her own room, and the real reason why she missed lessons so frequently. It was also true that she had, selflessly and somewhat irresponsibly, been giving her Wolfsbane potions to Mr Lupin for several months.

She had told the whole sorry tale to Artemis with a fearful look in her eyes, as if she were expecting Artemis to resent her or reject her, but instead, Artemis couldn’t help but admire her for her bravery, her resilience, or her kindness. If anything, she only wished that she had attempted to befriend Chiara sooner.

As for Chiara’s werewolf friend, it was not until a week later, whilst posting letters to Bill Weasley and her Great-Aunt Tina in Hogsmeade, that Artemis next encountered Mr Lupin, pale and drawn as he stood outside the Owl Post Office. After a brief moment of consideration, she decided to greet him.

“It’s you,” he said, frowning at her.

She blinked back at him. “Yeah.”

“It’s good to see you… alive,” said Lupin, with a pointed look that did not match his soft voice and wearied face. Artemis pursed her lips. “You know, that was a very stupid thing you did last weekend. You’re lucky that you weren’t killed.”

“I know,” Artemis said truthfully. “I know that now. Thank you for trying to save me.”

“Not that I helped much.”

“But you tried, at least.”

“Of course. Well, you’re welcome,” Lupin paused for a moment. “You know, I don’t think I ever asked your name.”

“It’s Artemis. Artemis Hexley.”

At the mention of her name, Lupin’s eyebrows twitched upwards, the way all adults’ eyebrows did around her. She braced herself, ready for the inevitable comments about her brother’s disappearance or her mother’s many talents. But Lupin mentioned neither.

“I heard about your friend,” he said quietly. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Artemis swallowed and nodded her head. “Right. Thanks.”

“Now it makes sense.”

“What does?”

“What you did, that night,” Lupin gave a smile that was somehow wry and sad, all at once. “How much you cared about protecting your friend. How little you cared about protecting yourself.”

His eyes drifted out across the busy cobbled street, to a wooden stall selling spring flowers. Artemis looked from the flowers back to his eyes. They were a greyish sort of green in colour, and filled with a weariness that might have been mistaken for tiredness.

“You lost a friend, too,” she said, frowning at him. “Didn’t you?”

“I lost several. That’s what happens when there is a war.”

“How did they… Actually, no. You don’t have to-”

“They were murdered,” Lupin told her. “We were all betrayed by someone we thought we could trust.” He paused, and added, “Not unlike your own friend, from the rumours I’ve heard.”

“Did you ever feel guilty afterwards?” Artemis asked, before realising how rude the question was. “Sorry. I didn’t mean… It’s just that I… You probably don’t want to talk about this.”

“It’s okay, Artemis. I don’t mind talking about this. I actually like talking about them, remembering them. It helps, or it does sometimes,” he smiled again. “And yes, I felt guilty. I also felt angry, sad, scared, tired, lost, alone. Much like you do now, I expect.”

“How long does it take for it all to stop?”

“Stop?”

“Yeah. When does all that hurting go away?”

Lupin frowned and hesitated before asking her: “Would you prefer me to tell you the truth, or what you’d like to hear?”

“I’d like to hear what’s true,” Artemis told him, and he sighed deeply.

“It doesn’t,” he said simply.

“What, never?”

“Not really, no,” Lupin rolled up on of his sleeves, revealing a large cut on his forearm, which had a ring of bruising around it. “Courtesy of Miss Lobosca on Monday evening,” he explained, his lips twitching slightly. “Now, look here. This was painful, when I realised I’d been cut. It was worse when the bruising developed. It will get less sore once the bruises get better and the cut starts to heal, but sometimes it will get knocked and the cut will open up again. Eventually, the wound will close over and the pain will fade to the point I don’t notice it, but I expect it will leave a scar, and my arm won’t ever quite look the same again.”

“No,” Artemis watched as Mr Lupin rolled down his sleeve. “So, I won’t ever be able to go back to how I was before?”

“Unfortunately not.”

“But if I can’t go back, then…”

“You’ll just go on.” Lupin’s mouth twitched again, and he added with a knowing look, “Unless, of course, you go chasing off after werewolves in dark forests.”

In spite of everything, Artemis found herself smiling.

“I don’t think I’ll be doing that again,” she told him. “But what will you do?”

“I will keep going on as well.”

“Yeah, but… Chiara can’t keep giving you her potions, can she?”

“No, that is why I’m here. To thank her and say goodbye,” Lupin put his hands into his pockets. “Wolfsbane potion is difficult to make, and the ingredients hard to source. It was very noble of her to give me hers, but it was also incredibly dangerous. I cannot allow her to continue to do so. And if I am unable to source the potion here, I can’t stay, not when I am a risk to others.”

“Maybe we can still help,” Artemis said. Lupin opened his mouth to protest, but she continued, not allowing him to interrupt her. “My friend Jae is brilliant at sourcing anything. He could definitely get you ingredients. He would probably offer to make the potion, too, but I wouldn’t trust his potions. But if you had the ingredients at least you could find someone to make the potion for you, if you can’t do it yourself.”

Lupin bowed his head. “I will consider it, thank you.” He stepped away as if to leave, but stopped, frowning deeply. “One more thing.”

“Yes?”

“How did you manage to get through the night unharmed? There was hardly a scratch on you.”

“Oh,” Artemis bit her lip. “Do you promise to keep it a secret?”

“I am good at keeping those.”

“Of course you are. Well, the truth is, I’m an unregistered Animagus,” Artemis told Lupin, and his eyes widened slightly with a look of recognition. “I changed into my Animagus form, and Chiara didn’t want to hurt me anymore. It was like she became more human somehow, once I was an animal, too. I know that sounds stupid.”

“It doesn’t.”

Artemis and Mr Lupin we both quiet for a few moments, as he looked at her with eyes that were filled with a bittersweet emotion that might have been sorrow or happiness, Artemis couldn’t tell which.

“Sorry,” he said, eventually. “I just remembered something that I’d forgotten.”

“Something to do with your friends, or did you leave a window open?”

Lupin laughed. “My friends.”

“Oh. Sorry.”

“Don’t be. Like I said, it’s good to remember them. Find ways for them to still be with me, to carry them with me.”

“It’s hard, though,” said Artemis.

“It is, but it’s worth it,” Lupin told her, and she smiled. “Anyway, I’ll leave you to get on. It was a pleasure to talk to you, Miss Hexley.”

“And to you, Mr Lupin.”

Artemis watched Lupin walk away from her. He paused by the flower stall to admire a bunch of long-stemmed white flowers before walking away up the cobbles, his posture a little less hunched than it had been before.

She made her journey back down the main street of Hogsmeade village, but instead of stopping at the Three Broomsticks where she knew her friends would be, she went into Tomes and Scrolls bookshop instead, running her hands along the leather-bound spines. She bought a single book and returned to the castle, pausing as she noticed a group of black winged horses grazing at the edge of the forest.

She had tried her hardest to avoid the Thestrals ever since she had been able to see them, but now that she was looking at them properly, she couldn’t help but admire the awkwardly graceful way they moved. They looked gentle, in spite of everything that they stood for, and somehow, watching them made her feel at peace, and less alone in her grief. Or maybe it had been talking to someone - actually talking to them and telling them a part of her story - that had done that for her.

Artemis thought about it for a little while, and by the time the Thestrals stopped grazing and returned to the shelter of the trees, she had made her decision. She returned to the castle, and went looking for Merula and Ben. After all, it was their story to tell as well as hers.

“I don’t know why it’s taken you this long,” Merula drawled, as she, Artemis and Ben made their way to the lakeshore, where they had arranged to meet a group of their friends. “I told you weeks ago that it was time to start getting on with breaking this curse.”

“That’s not what this is about, Merula,” Artemis told her, already having to try to not lose her temper.

“What is it about then?”

“It’s about Rowan.”

“Avenging her?”

“No,” Artemis sighed crossly and looked at Ben. “Can you explain it to her, please?”

“It’s not about avenging Rowan’s death, Merula,” said Ben. “It’s about letting our friends know the truth.”

“Exactly.”

“So they can protect themselves against R.”

“Wait, what?” Artemis frowned at Ben. “No, this isn’t about any of that, it’s just-”

“But you do want them to be protected, don’t you?” Ben asked her.

“Yeah.”

“Good. Because they’ll need that once we start working to break this curse.”

“Thank Merlin one of you has got some sense,” muttered Merula.

“No,” Artemis turned around and stood in front of them, blocking their path. “No, that is not what we are here for. We are not here for the curses, or for Rakepick, or for the rest of R. We are here for Rowan. Just for Rowan. Because she… Because she died. And the people who cared about her deserve to know how. And she deserves them to know, too. Okay?”

Both Ben and Merula were quiet for a few moments, before Ben nodded his head sadly and Merula sighed.

“Whatever,” she said with a shrug. “I still think that you should be asking if they want to help break the curses or kill Rakepick-”

“Or at least learn some self-defence,” Ben chipped in.

“Yeah, or that. Maybe.”

“Tough,” said Artemis, crossing her arms across her chest and fixing Merula with a hard stare. She was expecting Merula to argue more, but instead, Merula asked her:

“Are you scared?”

“Of what?”

“That once you tell everyone what happened, they’ll think Rowan’s death was all your fault and not want to speak to you again.”

Artemis swallowed. “Yeah. Yeah, I am scared of that, actually.”

“I don’t see why,” Ben murmured. “You weren’t the one Rakepick was trying to hit with that curse. If they’re going to blame anyone, it’ll be me.”

“You weren’t the one who got involved with all this Cursed Vaults business, Ben.”

“I know, but-”

“And at least if they know the truth, they can decide for themselves what they want. Even if they decide not to be our friends, at least we’ve given them the choice to do that. They deserve that much,” Artemis said, as much to herself as to Ben and Merula. Her resolve was almost cracking and her stomach churning now, as they reached the door of the boathouse and she laid her hand on the handle. “Ready?”

Merula and Ben had barely a chance to nod their heads in reply before Artemis opened the door. Inside the boathouse, several familiar faces - more than she had been expecting - were dotted around, many of her friends and acquaintances having gathered to hear what she had to tell them.

Penny and Tonks were there, of course, and so were Chiara, Alanza, and - to Artemis’ distaste - Diego Caplan. Charlie had Jae with him as well as Barnaby and Liz Tuttle, and Merula’s friend Ismelda was sitting quietly in the corner. Tulip and Andre had been accompanied by Badeea Ali, and even Talbott Winger, who never usually socialised with larger groups of people, had come along with them.

“Um, thanks for coming here, everyone,” Artemis said, perching on top of a overturned wooden boat facing the others, one foot tapping against the side of its hull against her will. “I, um… Well, we know that there’s been a lot of rumours going around about how Rowan died because of that article Rita Skeeter wrote, and… we wanted to let people - all of you, I mean - know what happened. What actually happened. Because…” she sighed, and looked across at Merula and Ben before saying, “Well, because we know the truth, and we think that you deserve to know the truth as well.”

“How?” Ismelda Murk’s sharp voice echoed across the boathouse from the opposite corner. “How do you know the truth?”

There was a moment of silence that seemed to last an eternity, broken by Merula’s quiet murmur:

“Because we were there.”

Artemis had thought that the silence that had preceded Merula’s words had been profound, but it was nothing in comparison to the one that followed it.

“It all started a long time ago,” Artemis said, unable to tolerate the tense atmosphere any longer. “In our first year, Merula and I found the teachers in a corridor on the fifth floor talking about the Cursed Vaults. Rowan, Ben, and I all went searching to see what they had found, and it was a room full of Cursed Ice - the same ice that Ben got trapped in and took over the castle in our second year.

“When Ben was missing because of the ice, Rowan and I tried to find him. We found a letter in a Vanishing cabinet that goes to Borgin and Burke’s, and it gave us a load of instructions. The letter was signed from R, and we later learned that R is the name of a group of dark witches and wizards - the Cabal, they call themselves - who want to open the Cursed Vaults themselves.”

“Why?” Badeea asked, her brown eyes wide. “Why do they want to open the Vaults?”

“They say that the last Vault contains something really powerful - we don’t know what. A weapon or something, maybe. Whatever it is, they want it,” Artemis shrugged. “When Rakepick first came to the school, I started getting threats from R, from the cabal. Rakepick said that she knew them, that they hated her, too. I even found a letter threatening her that was signed by R. So, I figured that she was telling the truth, that she was on the same side as me. As us.”

“But she wasn’t.”

“No. She made it up. She wrote the letter to herself, and pretended to save me from the threats that she created, all so I would trust her and work with her, because she wanted me to help her open the Vaults. Apparently, she needed me or my brother to do it, but Jacob was trapped inside one of the Vaults at the time, so she had to use me. And she did. As soon as the Vault was opened last year, she told us how she had betrayed us, and she tried to kill me. That’s why the Aurors have been looking for her. Because she is a member of R, and-”

“And a psychopath,” said Tonks, and a few of the others half-chuckled. Even Artemis almost smiled.

“Yeah. That too,” she said. “But she’s also clever. Very clever. She managed to convince Dumbledore that she was on the right side, and Jacob too. When I told him that Rakepick tried to kill me, he said that she had gotten the wrong idea, that she had made a mistake and he needed to talk to her to explain why she was wrong.”

“How can trying to kill someone not be wrong?”

“She said that there needed to be a sacrifice for the Vaults to open. Jacob said that there was another way. I don’t know what that way is, or what he meant, because…” Artemis took a deep, shaky breath. “He wrote me a letter. He wanted to meet me to tell me about it. It was supposed to be a secret, in case Rakepick found out, and because what he wanted to tell me was really dangerous, but he said I should bring someone with me, just in case. Ben and Merula were already involved - they were there when Rakepick betrayed us, so Rakepick knew that they knew already - so they came with me. We went to the forest, where Jacob had asked us to meet him, and…”

“There was a dementor,” said Ben, as Artemis’ voice tailed off. “Artemis tried to see it off, but it was too powerful. It tried to attack her, but she was saved by a Patronus.”

“Jacob’s Patronus?” asked Penny, her eyes wide and already tear-filled. Artemis shook her head.

“No,” she said. “Not Jacob’s. It was hers. Rakepick’s. She must have intercepted the message, or maybe she was the one that sent it. Either way, somehow she knew we were going, because she was there with us. She saw off the Dementor, but then she started trying to curse us. Ben and Merula, they tried to fight back - they really tried, it wasn’t their fault at all, what happened next. It’s just that Rakepick, she… Well, Merula was knocked down, and then…

“Ben was being really brave,” Artemis continued. She had closed her eyes, unable to look at her friends as she told them the story. “He was trying really hard to protect us, but Rakepick was too powerful. She cast the… the Killing Curse. She aimed it right at Ben. It looked like he was going to get hit, but then… Rowan, she… she jumped out, and the curse… It hit her instead. And she died, just like that.”

No one spoke. Artemis wasn’t even sure that anyone was still in the room listening to her, or whether they had already left, not wanting any more to do with her. But when she opened her eyes, everyone was still in front of her, though their faces were blurry and out of focus through her tears.

“We didn’t know she was there until she jumped out. She must have followed us, or something. I didn’t ask her to be there, I didn’t even tell her that we were going to be there. I didn’t want her to come, because I wanted to keep her safe. That was why I didn’t tell her, or you - any of you - because I wanted everyone to be safe, but… but not telling Rowan didn’t keep her safe, and not telling you won’t keep you safe, either,” she said, shaking her head, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. “So you might as well know, because you deserve to know the truth, and Rowan deserves you to know it, too. You need to know what happened to her, and how it was all my fault.”

She paused, and waited for her friends to judge and condemn her, but none of them did.

“I don’t understand,” said Barnaby Lee, the first to say anything at all. His eyebrows were knitted together from confusion. “How is this all your fault?”

“Because of the Cursed Vaults, and the letter, and the forest. If it wasn’t for me looking for the Vaults and going to the forest that night, Rakepick wouldn’t have attacked us, and Rowan wouldn’t have followed us there.”

“But you said that you didn’t know that Rakepick would be there, or Rowan, either. So how could it be your fault?”

There wasn’t anything other than innocent curiosity in Barnaby’s green eyes. He was not saying this to reassure her, Artemis could tell. He was saying it because he genuinely did not understand how Artemis was responsible.

She frowned. “Well, because… Because…”

“Barnaby’s right,” said Tonks. “You can’t blame yourself for what Rakepick did. Like you said, you didn’t know.”

“But-”

“Tonks and I saw Rowan leaving that evening,” Penny said, a tear rolling down her cheek. “She said that she was going to the library to make extra notes for Corey. It was only after she left that we remembered that the library had closed early because of the statue curse. We could have stopped her.”

“Yeah,” Tonks nodded. “If you’re going to blame yourself, then you’ll have to blame us, too.”

“And me,” said Ben. “If I had never got stuck in that ice, you an Rowan would never have found that first note from R. And if I’d fought Rakepick harder that night…”

“Or if I had fought her harder,” Merula added. “Between us, we might have been able to take down Rakepick. But we didn’t. It’s our fault, just as much as it is yours.”

The voices of Artemis’ friends overlapped and echoed as each of them voiced a regret, something that they could have done differently to prevent Rowan’s death. Charlie wished that he had been less focussed on his plan to leave for Romania and more focussed on the people around him. Jae regretted ever telling Artemis how the vanishing cabinet could be used to smuggle supplies or send messages in and out of the school. Tulip wanted to go back and tell Dumbledore how she had suspected Rakepick from the start; Barnaby would have liked to have gone to the Buried Vault and fought Rakepick with Artemis and her friends; and Andre couldn’t help but wonder whether he should have put more effort into helping Rowan dress for her Valentine’s Day study date with Corey Hayden the year before, in case having a boyfriend would have stopped her from wanting to go out into the forest chasing after Artemis.

“See?” Chiara smiled sadly, having just informed the group that she regretted not having spent more time with Rowan when she was alive, instead of keeping herself isolated in her little private dormitory so often. “We all could have done things differently and maybe if we had, Rowan would still be here. Maybe she wouldn’t. Something else might have happened to her. We shouldn’t blame ourselves. It’s no one’s fault.”

Artemis blinked back tears. “I guess not.”

“But it is someone’s fault,” said Alanza, frowning deeply. “It is Madam Rakepick’s fault, no? She is the one who killed your friend. It is her fault.”

“Yeah, and she’s still missing. We should be doing something to help find her and catch her!”

“Or at least we should be learning to protect ourselves, in case she comes back.”

“What about the Cursed Vaults, though? If that’s what this R group wants, we should be stopping them, shouldn’t we?”

“We should at least be trying to break the statue curse.”

Artemis had heard enough. This wasn’t what she had wanted at all. She had wanted her friends to know about Rowan’s death, but not to start lurching towards the exact same thing that had been the cause of her death in the first place.

“No,” she said, loudly and firmly. “No. We are not going after Rakepick, or the Cabal. We are not breaking curses or going back to the Cursed Vaults. Don’t you understand? It was getting involved in the Cursed Vaults that drew Rakepick here, that got Rowan killed. We need to leave the Vaults alone now, because if we don’t… Well, it’s dangerous and it’s disrespectful to Rowan.”

Artemis clenched her jaw and looked stubbornly at her friends as they shared doubtful looks.

“I disagree, actually,” said Penny. “I at least think that we should practise some self defence, just in case.”

“Me too,” Tonks nodded. “And I disagree about the Cursed Vaults, too. I get that Rowan died because of them, yeah, but if we stand by and let Rakepick and R get there first… Well, won’t that just mean that she died for nothing? At least if we finish what we started, it means that her death won’t have been in vain.”

There were a couple of murmurs of assent and nodding heads. Artemis sighed, and opened her mouth ready to protest, but before she could say anything, the door flew open, and a small boy with bronze-coloured hair and Hufflepuff robes ran into the boathouse, pink-cheeked and out of breath, his eyes wide with panic.

“What’s wrong, Cedric?” Artemis asked him.

“Professor Sprout sent me. She wanted me to find Chiara.”

“Why? What’s happened?”

“It’s the statue curse,” said Cedric, trembling a little. “There’s been more victims.”

“Who?”

“One of the third years, and a fifth year. And…”

“And?”

Cedric bit his bottom lip before telling them:

“And Madam Pomfrey.”

All of the sixth years fell quiet, and Artemis swallowed, hard. In all her years at Hogwarts, all her years dealing with the Cursed Vaults, she had never known the curse to affect any of the adults at school. If even the staff weren’t safe any more, who was?

The answer to that was simple. No one was safe, and no one would be until the cure was broken, and the riddle of the Cursed Vaults solved once and for all.

She felt almost a dozen pairs of expectant eyes settle on her, and as Cedric left with Chiara for the Hospital Wing, she spoke up once more.

“I meant it, what I said,” she told her friends. “I didn’t tell you about Rowan to make you want to help me, or to make you think that we should all go back and break these curses.”

Charlie smiled wryly and raised a single red eyebrow at her. “But?”

“But…” Artemis frowned, looking around at her friends. “Is that really what you all want?”

“Show of hands?” Merula said, rolling her eyes and putting her hand in the air.

One by one, each of the group raised their hands, giving Artemis their clear, unanimous answer. She breathed deeply before nodding her head.

“Fine. Then let’s do it.”
