Maltratar Camp
Chapter 11-A vision
"Master," a young man, not older than 21, said, bowing down. He had shoulder-length, black, greasy hair, dark eyes, was tall and slim and pale. Very pale.
"What is it?" a man asked. He was also tall, not not as thin as the younger man. He had short chestnut-brown hair and same colored eyes. "I hope this is important."
"Master," the younger one repeated. "One of the women we have captured is a friend of mine. Can I obliviate her and take her back to where she came from?"
"What is her name?"
"Minerva McGonnagal, master."
"You can. But you know what you have to do to save her, don't you?"
"Of course I do, master." With that the young man stood up and strode out of the throne hall.
"What?" the woman shouted. "Why on earth should I do that?"
"Minerva," the young, black-haired man said, trying to calm the woman in front of him down. "If you want to come out of here you need to do this. I can't change it. After we're done I'll take you back to Hogwarts. If it should happen and you get pregnant, then I give you the choice if you want to abort it or not."
"Don't I have a choice?" McGonnagal asked frustrated.
"The Dark Lord doesn't give choices," the man replied harshly. "And now, we should get started. Unless you want to stay here and die of course."
"Fine," Minerva sighed, giving in. "But if I should get pregnant, I won't abort the child or children."
"Children?"
"For your information there is something such as twins, Severus," the woman said, smiling sadly.
"So you got her pregnant?" a tall man asked. He had long, sliver-blond hair and held a cane with the head of a snake.
"I did," Severus replied. "But I need help."
"With what?"
"The thing is that no one can know that she's having children, especially if I'm the father, Lucius. We need to find a way of hiding it."
"What if you give the children away?" Lucius asked. "You could give one of them to muggles. And then when they're eleven they come to Hogwarts."
"The only problem is that there's a prophecy. It says that a boy and a girl will be born at the end of the time of life. They will grow up separately and met when they're eleven. Then another boy will become part of them. They all have to do some kind of test to prove that they are ready to defeat the evil and be celebrated as the chosen ones."
"And you think that you're children or child is part of this prophecy?"
"Exactly," Severus said. "And somehow I think that the prophecy isn't fake like the ones Trelawney usually makes."
"Sybille Trelawney prophesied it?" Lucius asked, raising one eyebrow. "Are you sure you're feeling alright?"
"Yes, Lucius, I am. Anyway, we will find out if the prophecy is right in less than twelve years."
"I can't believe it!" Severus bellowed, throwing the book he had just been reading at the nearest wall. His theory was true. His children and godson had done a blood ritual and were now siblings. What was he going to tell Lucius? And most important, what would they do ones they found out who he or Minerva are? He needed to speak to them instantly to find out what their visions had been about. Sighing severus Snape made his way towards the infirmary.
"Yes, they did wake up," Poppy said. "But you can't see them right now. They'll be out of here this evening. I'll tell them they shall go to your office immediately."
"It's important!"
"Nothing is more important for the moment than to let them rest," the matron said firmly, pushing the Potions Professor out of the door.
"That was luck," Harry whispered. "I think he found out what we did."
"But what about our visions?" Hermione asked. "There is Professor Snape and he told Minerva the only way of escaping is by...well..you know."
"In mine he asked a man if he could free her," Harry reported. "This man told him to do it."
"There were father and Uncle Sev," Draco said. "They talked about that professor McGonnagal is pregnant. And then about a prophecy..."
"Hermione," Potter interrupted suddenly. "Did you ever notice that you look a bit like Professor McGonnagal?"
"And you like...Professor Snape," the girl replied thoughtfully. "Wait - you don't think what I'm thinking right now, are you?"
"I am," Harry said, swallowing.
"You both think that Professors Snape and McGonnagal are your parents?" Draco asked, sounding disbelievingly.
"Indeed we are," Granger said.
"Hey," Potter said. "I can hear you think!"
"One of the abilities twins sometimes have," Hermione whispered. "Ow! What was that for?"
"He didn't do anything," Draco wondered. "Or did he?"
"I punched myself," Harry said. "Another ability is that twins can sometimes fell each others feelings, for example pain or happiness."
"That means you both are twins and then siblings with me?" Draco wondered.
"Kind of," Harry replied. "Only one question left. Why hasn't anyone told us? We should beinformed."
