Last Time: I turn to go, and he caught my arm. He is still staring at my wings which were a deep purple. They shimmered in the light, and they stretch to great lengths. The feathers have their shine to them. "Is this why he wants you?" he asked his voice barely a whisper.

Trisha's POV

"My wings came when I turned 21. I was walking in the forest to go collect potion ingredients one day in the summer. When I felt extreme pain in my back, and I felt like I need to push my back out, and I did."

I am explaining this to Severus after we went back to his office. Kingsley had left by the time we got back. My wings are back in their positions on my back, unseen. We are sitting in front of the fire. As I continued my story, I look at the fire, "The next thing I know there was a purple flash of light and wings appeared out of my back."

I peek up at Severus who has a thoughtful expression on his face. I forge on, "There was a crack of thunder next to me, and a grandfatherly man appeared. It turns out he was my grandfather from my father's side, and he explained that I was next in line to the throne of the Linx."

At this point, Severus interrupts, "Who is the Linx?"

"They are the reason why that witches and wizards exist. All witches and wizards are descendants of the Linx. In a way, almost the entire Wizarding Population are descendants of the Linx including muggleborns". I said thoughtfully "A muggleborn's parents have the Linx gene in them that is dormant and when the two genes find each other it gets reactivated and the child has magic."

"Does this always happen?" Severus asks.

I shake my head. "A good example is Lily Evans and her sister. Her sister was born first but didn't have her gene activated, and Lily's was. It's a fifty-fifty chance even if you know you have the Linx gene in you."

I take a deep breath, "Severus, I'm so-" I am cut off by Severus, who has gotten up while I am speaking and before I can speak another word, he is picking me up and placing me on his lap. The next thing I know, I'm being kissed within an inch of my life. Severus's mouth is hot and gently nips at my lips. I gasp, and his tongue swept into my mouth. He gently duels with my tongue, and I try to copy his movements. Eventually, we part gasping.

Severus's POV

As I listen to her story, I'm amazed that she kept in this to herself this entire time. I understand of course why she does. Who was she going to trust to keep this safe? I'm not sure if I would have believed her but I saw her wings myself and there is no denying that. I study her as she speaks, eyes looking at the fire and refusing to look at me. I shake my head mentally. Does she think that I leave her like this? I know one thing once she finishes explaining, I'm going to kiss the hell of out of my fiancée.

I wait until she starts to apologize and I get up to bring my little one into my lap. She is startle when I start to kiss her. I nip her lower lip, and she gasp. I slide my tongue gently into her mouth to touch hers, and she moans. I angle her head, and the kiss deepens. Soon we come up for air, and I rest my forehead on top of hers.

"Do not think for a moment that I am going to leave you because of this," I tell her, and as I do, I kiss her forehead, her right eye then the left one, next on her nose before I kissed her lips again. She sighs and buries her face in my chest. "You are my little one, no one else's," I growl at her. She nods, and I tighten my grip and pull her even closer to me. She all but melts into me. Then she speaks.

"I didn't know I had an uncle. I didn't know even I had a grandfather." Her voice trembles from relief or nerves I can't tell. "All I know is that I am a true descendant of Queen who was my many great's grandmother. It explains why I have wings. We are the are the Ancient Winged People who come from the world that no longer exists, Polaris Aria." She becomes quiet again and lays her head on my chest.

I rub my hand down her back for comfort. Trisha sighs quietly and falls asleep. I hold her close and summon a blanket to wrap around us. I stare into the fire, lost in thought.

I am still in quiet shock about the events that took place. I know for one thing, that I will always protect my little one and that as soon as she agrees make her my wife. My eyes widen as I realize, I am going to have to be a King. I look down at her and smile softly; it can be worse.

Trisha's POV

I wake up and realize I fell asleep on Severus. I look around and realize that we are still sitting in the armchair. I look at Severus whose head is tip back and resting on the chair. I gently traced his nose, which wakes him up and he gently captures my hand to place a kiss on my palm.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," I said quietly. Severus just smiles and brushes his hand against my cheek. I lean toward the caressing hand, and Severus chuckles.

"Let's go and get dinner, little one." He tells me. I nod and stood. He follows and with my hand on his arm, we left to get dinner in the Great Hall.
