MYSTERY SOLVED PART I

"OH MY GOD MOM?!"

Snape turned to look at Rajni with something like horror and pity. He had already known and told Rajni that everyone she had once known is dead. He was shocked however to see Rajni suddenly being thrown across the room in a surge of power.

"STOP." Dumbledore said his voice sounding ten times more louder than usual. The room was quiet as Dumbledore and the little pixie like girl stared down each other. There was a thump and then suddenly there was a red flash of light and Rajni had tackled the pixie girl and they both vanished on the spot. Professor Snape turned pale glancing worriedly at Professor Dumbledore.

"Er…did you guys just see that?"Harry whispered his voice sounding odd in the clamour of murmers that started immediately after the disappearance.

"I'm not sure how that happened, you can't disapparate in Hogwarts. It was in 'Hogwarts; A History.' "

"We know Hermione." Ron said tiredly he glanced back at Harry who looked both confused and worried.

"do you think it has something to do with…?"

"Yes Ron," Harry said glancing at Dumbledore's worried face. "I think it has everything to do with Voldemort."

Rajni felt a whistling in the wind as the air rushed towards her and the land approached her at a rapid face, before she was stopped abruptly before being dumped unceremoniously on the hard ground. She raised her arms making a move to get up, before she was whipped around and she felt a weight on top of her, boot clad legs on either side of her. Distractedly she glanced at the boots and realized it was the same boots she had been planning on getting her mom long ago. She looked up at the girl who gave her a sickly sweet smile.

"Look at you. The years have been much better to you then they have been to me."

"What the hell are you going on about??You look like you haven't aged since you were sixteen, and if I remember correctly you were much older than sixteen before you conceived me."

"Raji, I'm sorry for attacking you but I couldn't just take you nicely from the school I want to ensure that you are safe. You and the baby.

Harry stared moodily out the window, his thoughts straying to the girl who seemed to hate him so much. He knew that the people who didn't like him especially in that extent were generally the people on Voldemort's side, but he didn't believe she was. Not with the way she had been talking and joking around with Luna and Neville. Even Ginny had only nice things to say about her, and they had only one class together.

CRACK

"Harry Potter, sir!"

Harry turned at the abrupt noise.

"Dobby?! What is it?"

"Headmaster, would like to see you. He said it was urgent."

"I'll go now, thank you Dobby." Harry said getting up and heading out as Dobby left with a CRACK.

AT THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE

"Are you sure?" Snape said his voice taken on the darkened tone it usually did when he was discussing, Potter.

"Yes Severus, I think it's about time I told you the real reason for the task Voldemort had given you."

Knock knock.

Professor Snape stiffened thinking how Potter had an odd knack of popping up in moments of discussion he really shouldn't be involved in.

"Ah, Harry please take a seat. "

"Er…" Harry said glancing at snape who was looking moodily out the window before taking the seat farthest away from Snape. Granted, he was still much too close for both Snape, and his owns comfort.

"Now Harry, I'm sure you've met the new girl sometime or the other, this week." Harry started, glancing at Dumbledore.

"Er, yes she's in my DADA class." There was a slight snort from Snape, Harry said nothing and just looked at Dumbledore.

"Why…"

Dumbledore looked at Harry with a twinkle in his eye, knowing why Harry seemed so confused.

"Harry, I need to inform you on something, and I need you to make sure that you do not tell anyone else this information.

"Why bother Dumbledore? He's the worse at hiding anything." Snape said, harry glared at him darkly.

"I assure you Severus, Harry is very good at keeping secrets. Just as you are, that being said maybe you should continue from here, you know the full story anyways."

"Fine." Snape got off his chair, walking away from the table. He stopped in front the window, crossing his arms behind him.

"Potter, the girl who everyone has deemed a new student here, is not in fact new."

Harry looked at him oddly not quite understanding what that could mean.

"You see, she went to school around the same time as…" Snape paused not quite sure how to put it.

"As who?" Harry said impatiently.

Snape was silent for a moment before continuing.

"Your Father." Harry gazed at Snape in something akin to horror, while at the same time realization hit him. Obviously she was no fan, of the Mauraders.

"Rajni Mehra, was one of the most beautiful people you'd ever had the joy to meet. She brought happiness to whoever she met. We hit it off from the beginning. She was a Ravenclaw, but despite that she hung out more in the other rooms. Slytherin's especially, her friend Skye was a slytherin, and she was friends with Narcissus and Regulus, but much to the slytherin's chagrin she hung out a lot with Remus Lupin. Which everyone thought odd, especially me and…." Snape's face twisted before he went on,

"James, he never understood why Remus liked her soo much, of course he had only ever had eyes for Lily. Then the summer of fourth year happened. I don't know the details, but I do know this; all the major families, had gathered in the Black family mansion, I left the meeting trying to get away from Lucius only to bump into Black and his ragtag crew. We might've gotten into a brawl if Rajni hadn't come to my rescue right then. She took me away , and that's the last I saw of all of them for the rest of the summer, but when school started back everyone noticed the tenseness between Rajni, and James especially. Eventually they started to go out, and then somehow after me and Lily had our fallout…" There was a pause here, where Harry fidgeted nervously knowing exactly why Snape had stopped.

"Rajni left James, because she knew he wanted to be with Lily. Sometime during this, I finally got inducted into the death eater's circle. The Dark Lord, finally gave me my first task."

There was a silence, as Snape stopped again his hands following to the sides. Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued,

"Snape was given the task to kill Rajni."

NEXT TIME

"Why, why did you do this? What the hell were you trying to accomplish?" Rajni said her eyes burning.

"Rajni, he wanted to kill you for a prophecy I couldn't let him succeed!"

"But now, I'm stuck with raising this child that I don't want! James clearly never loved me, he married Lily! You think I'm not reminded everytime I look into Harry's eyes?!"
