Chapter 6: Who Is That?

Scarlett's POV

We walked out of Dumbledore's office and just wandered around for a while. Everyone was staring at me. I had let my natural appearance show through. I had taken of the voice changing spell that hid my French accent. Sirius and Regulus were taught by father in England and I was taught by mother at our home in Paris. I was taught how to act like a lady and taught how to speak French before English. Mother is French so it only made sense. I was stopped multiple times by people but my favourite was Lily…

"Hey Lily-Flower." James said to her as we walked past.

"Potter, who's this." She smiled sweetly at me.

"Savannah." He responded. We decided to go with my middle name for a while, to confuse people more… and annoy my parents.

"We have met. You won't remember I looked different then." I said, she looked confused by my accent, "I'm French."

"Oh when have I met you?" she asked me.

"Here. I went by Scarlett then though." Her eyes widened as realisation dawned on her.

"Scarlett? Scarlett Black?" I nodded at her yell, holding back a laugh. Only years of training from mother could keep my face impassive. "How?! What did you do to your hair, voice and eyes?!"

"Put them back to normal." I said, the boys were laughing behind me.

She just huffed and walked off.

1 week later

"Miss Black, please go to the headmasters office." I looked up at Slughorn, I was sat in Slytherin common room. I just nodded and got up.

Just before I knocked on the Dumbledore's office he called "Come in."

"Professor I was told you wanted to see me."

"Yes Scarlett, I believe that you are a Veela." He said looking at me.

"It would make sense." I thought about it. Mother would hate to have anything other than a pureblood in the family.

"Read up on them and tell me if you have any questions." He asked then waved his hand in dismissal.

I left and went to the library. It was still an hour until curfew, and I could take the books out of the library and into my dorm.

After I had the books I spent all night reading, and missed classes trying to figure everything out. The next day in class, the other Marauders asked me where I was. I took them aside after class to tell them.

"Last night Dumbledore called me into his office, apparently I'm a Veela. I read up on them yesterday and it all made sense."

I am so sorry that I took so long and it's a short chapter. I've been really busy. I'm trying to write more, but may is such a busy month. My birthday was the 5thand my cousins came round that weekend, I went to my godmother's wedding the weekend after, and there was a baptism last weekend. I'm camping next weekend too. I am on a reduced timetable at school so I do have more time on my hands then most people, but I'm not a morning person and work best at night so… anyway I'm going to start writing more, I'm 15 now so GCSEs next year and I have to do the practice ones, so that's taking up mu time too. LThanks for sticking with it. Please review, and I need a beta so if anyone would like to let me know. I'm writing chapter 7 now so that should be out this weekend, if I could get a beta before that chapter I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks,
