Revelations

"Sky! Can you come down here?" Sirius called up the stairs.

"What's up?" she asked, coming to a sudden stop at the bottom of the stairs, sometimes she was almost as clumsy as Tonks. The rest of the teens weren't far behind her.

"Dumbledore wants to talk to us," he told her.

"Why?"

"I dunno." When they all started following, he turned back, with a 'I'm sorry' expression. "Sorry guys, he said just us." They moaned. "Sorry."

The group waited in the living room, while Skyler followed Sirius into the kitchen.

"Ah, you must be Miss Black," said a silvery-haired older man, who stood to shake her hand.

"Skyler," she corrected, shaking his hand.

"Skyler," he said politely. "You really are the spitting image of your father."

"Thanks, but let's cut the crap. What do you want?" she replied.

The order members in the room seemed surprised that she spoke to him like that, with a couple exceptions. Mrs. Weasley just shook her head in disapprovingly, and Sirius knew his daughter too well to expect anything else. Dumbledore just smiled though.

"Very well, we will cut right to the chase," he agreed politely. "I want you to consider joining us at Hogwarts this year. I hear you are very skilled, so I have no doubt you would be able to join the Weasley twins in seventh year. You would only get one year, but I th-"

"Stop," Skyler interrupted, holding up her hand so he wouldn't continue. "You don't have to sell it, my answer's no," she said bluntly.

"And may I ask why?" Dumbledore asked calmly, though he did look taken aback by her answer.

"Because I don't want to," she stated simply.

"So how exactly do you plan on controlling those special abilities of yours?" he asked, seemingly curious.

"What 'special abilities' exactly are you talking about?" Skyler asked accusingly.

"For one, you are a animagus, and for another, your telekenesis," he answered, still calm.

"And how would you know about that?" she asked in a very threatening tone, eyes looking like daggers. Sirius put a hand on her shoulder to stop her temper from flaring further.

"Your mother," Dumbledore told her. Skyler and Sirius looked shocked.

"When did you talk to her? Were you planning on telling us anytime soon?" Sirius asked incredulously.

"How would she even know?" Skyler asked, furious.

"Well, I didn't talk to her, I would have told you soon, and I'm not sure," Dumbledore answered calmly, but starting to seem exasperated. Skyler shook her head and turned to leave. "Wait, please. You should come to Hogwarts, you will be safe and we can teach you how to control your magic."

"I AM SAFE," Skyler said loudly, shrugging her father off. Sirius knew it was useless to try and calm her down now. "AND I CAN CONTROL IT!" she continued.

"So prove it," Dumbledore countered, still remaining calm. Everyone exchanged nervous glances.

He pulled out his wand, which promptly went flying across the room. Skyler was staring at him, but not moving. Moody pulled out his wand, it also went flying.

"What the bloody hell?" Moody cried.

"You don't want to start this with me," Skyler warned.

"You've only proved that you can do a simple little trick," Dumbledore pressed, trying to get her to lose control.

Skyler started walking toward him. Dumbledore flew up against the wall, feet dangling three feet above the ground, and arms pinned against the wall. His wand flew through the air again, pointing at his throat. Skyler walked over to him and leaned in closer.

"Still think I can't control it?" she asked in a menacing voice.

"You've made your point," he told her, still remaining calm. Most everyone else in the room was staring in shock.

"You still haven't told me how my mother knew, and I know you know. Don't lie to me," Skyler's voice was still menacing.

Dumbledore just looked her in the eyes until she understood.

"Oh shit," she muttered when she figured it out.

"What?" Sirius asked in a worried voice. Skyler turned to walk away, Dumbledore fell down the wall, landing on his feet though.

"She's a Death Eater," Skyler told her father, so quietly only a few people in the room heard her. Sirius' eyes went wide open, he couldn't believe it. Skyler walked out without another word.
