1Chapter 11 Discoveries II

Snape snapped his mouth shut and glared at Mara.

"Harry, you did a sibling bond with a person you met only days ago?" Dumbledore sat staring at the boy he thought he knew.

"You fool of a child! Only the most stupid, the most arrogant, idiot with no brains…" Snape continued to rant and rave until Mara got tired of it.

"Would you shut up! God you are annoying. Like a child who didn't get his toy. It's done, over, in the past. Besides it was not your choice. Harry and I had a slight bond when we first met. We were and are able to feel the others emotions and therefore were able to determined the others intentions. You should know by now that Harry would not do anything so life changing, so definite without knowing all the ins and outs. So quit your blubbering," Mara huffed. And this was her father.

Snape stood in complete gob smack at how he had just been talked to. How dare this child talk to him that way!

It took everything Lucius had to keep from out right laughing. No one, not even Dumbledore could get away with talking to Snape like that. Hell, even he watched what he said around Snape. And to see him speechless was a treat that was rarer than a vampire out in broad daylight.

Snape open his mouth to probably say some unpleasant things when he caught Dumbledore's look. Shutting his mouth and silently swearing revenge, Snape settled for simply glaring at the girl. Which funnily enough, did not seem to affect her.

Mara's attention turned to Dumbledore. Her eyes narrowed into slits and her lips turn into a sneer. You could clearly see that she was mighty unhappy.

"You will not be sending Harry back to those…things! I will be taking over the legal guardianship of him. You will keep your nose out of this or you will find your life suddenly, amazingly difficult! And that goes for all others that you associate with. Harry is my brother and I will do anything in my power and capability to keep him safe. You may give input and suggestions, but only that! If I or Harry wish for your help then we will ask of it! Is that clear!"

Dumbledore's face had gone from shock, to disbelief, and then aged. He seemed to age in front of their eyes taking on the look of his hundred plus years. After a moment of silence of the headmaster thinking, he sighed and looked at Mara.

"You are sixteen are you not?"

"I am"

"Then you must not be human or at least not fully."

"That is correct"

Dumbledore searched her face as if looking for something.

"You will not tell me?"

Mara thought about it for a moment and turned her gaze to Harry and Red. Questioning what they thought was best. She knew if she told them that it would not take long for Snape to put the hints together. Did she really want to deal with that? But other than that she had not problem in letting them know. But Red did say that being a Luigi was not something you wanted to spread around. He still did not explain why that was so.

Mara sighed. Dumbledore was not a bad man.

He was mortal. Human.

And everyone makes mistakes. She could clearly see that love and concern that he felt though out this meeting. And she knew that Harry did not hate him; in fact he loved him as a grandfather. She would not take that away from him. But that did not mean that she would stand by and allow this man, who although was trying to do what is best, to screw up with Harry's life again.

"It is your choice Mara," Harry said with a shrug.

Mara stared at Red until he too shrugged. It would not do any major harm in this instance. Other than how Snape will react when he puts everything together. Dumbledore truly did not know what was going on with Harry, after all he is a good actor. Also, the blond man maybe of some help and will be able to describe things better to you than I can.

Mara nodded her head and turned her thoughts inward. Thinking again over the pros and cons. Red did have a point.

Sighing again Mara looked at Dumbledore then to Snape and Malfoy, still a bit wary of telling them.

"I'm" pause "half Luigi"

A halfblood. If Malfoy had been a normal full blood wizard he would have sneered in discussed. But of course he wasn't.

Snape looked at her in shock. That was what he had smelled both times he had met her. He looked at her. Really looked at her. Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her height, the way she stood, he saw his Latasha.

Mara looked Snape in the eyes. He knew. And by God was she scared.
