When I realised that this was my father and I noticed that mother was smiling at me I knew that this was going to be about my past, I tried to leave but dad caught my hand and smiled, "I know this is sudden but you have your friends and family around you and your mother would like it if maybe your sister and you would maybe give me a chance" dad said pretending that he was trying to get me to trust him.
I nodded my head and turned to Faye noticing that she too was quiet and I didn't even notice that we had walked into the upper level of the headmasters office where my mother was sat with Molly Weasley of all people comforting her, I growled and went to move when I had someone hold me back, I turned around and noticed that it was my father and I turned to him, "let me go, she has to pay for what she said to me" I snapped.
Molly walked over to me and smiled which made me stop, "I do apologise about what I said to you when we saw you in the leaky cauldron I did not mean to upset you, you see I was lead to believe that your father was alive, but seeing that your mother is with this man and moving on from him I think that maybe you can become a different person" Molly said to me.
Faye snorted and crossed her arms as she leant against the wall of office, "you caused my sister pain Molly, after everything that you now about her and what those muggles did to her, I don't want you near her" Faye snapped and turned our father and smiled, "I don't think I am staying here, mum I will be in the great hall" she said and walked out.
I smiled at her as she walked out with a smirk on her face, I turned around and noticed that our mother had some papers with her and passed it to me, "the Dursley's are saying that your lying about the abuse that happened to you when you were in there care and asking that you prove this" mum said to me.
I frowned and turned to see that Dumbledore was still in the office and I didn't really want to speak about this in front of him but I knew that he would leave if I asked him to help me, "Sir, I mean you are the only person here that can admit to them abusing me, and I am sure that you can tell the ministry where the money had come from that paid them to make sure that I would come to school broken each year" I explained.
Dumbledore looked worried and turned to my mother and shook his head, "sorry I don't know anything about what happened to her when she was with her family, I believed that she was not in any danger" he lied to my parents.
I really wanted to kill him but knew that I couldn't as I would be in a lot of trouble, I nodded and smiled, "okay then professor, thank you for letting me know that my mother is here, you may go back to work if you wish" I said and watched as he nodded and walked away.
I turned to my mother and smirked as she turned to the Weasley's and smiled, "good guy is he" was all mother said and that was when I noticed that Severus walked into the office and smiled at me, "Octavia I need you to come with me and have a chat, I've spoken to your mother and she has said that we can do this, but only with your permission" Severus said to me.
I nodded and he took me to the other side and smiled, "I wish to perform a spell that will tell us everything that the Dursley's have done to you through the years of you being with them and this will come out of paper which will be for different ages depending on when this was done for you, due to you being a riddle and a magical being this has been confirmed to be done in the ministry of magic due to Petunia being on your Lily's side and could produce a magical offspring" Severus explained to me.
I nodded and Severus smiled, "also you have been asked to come to the stand and tell them in your own words what has happened to you there and also what has happened since you have started Hogwarts as I know that you have been in the chamber below the castle and also found the philosopher's stone as well" Severus said to me.
I shook my head and looked to him, "you promised that I would have to see them again Severus, I mean I don't mind about the other stuff but this is not what I want to be reliving" I said.
Severus looked down to me and smiled, "you won't be alone in this Oct, your sister will be there with you as will Mr Weasley" Severus said to me.
I nodded and walked over to my parents and sat down in between them, "okay I'll do this" I said and dad nodded.
"Okay then" dad said and stood up, "Arthur i take it you will be getting the Dursley's to this court room" dad said.
Arthur turned to him and frowned, "not to be rude but what do Olivia's children have to do with you mr..." Arthur said looking to my father for some information.
"My name is Luke Nott and I am currently in a relationship with Olivia here" he said and turned to me, "I believe that the twins need a male role model in their life's and when I asked Olivia if I could meet her children she explained to me her past with her now dead husband, yes I know that Octavia and Faye are the twin girls of the dark lord himself and I wish to maybe move them onto a different path" dad said to them while holding back the amusement in his voice.
Arthur smiled and nodded to him, "I do apologise as we are trying to get back into our Octavia's life as well and I hope that sooner she will forgive us" he said as he turned to me smiling.
I nodded and turned back to mother as I sat down again by her, "if your parents or Severus goes to collect the Dursley's I do not think that they would make it to the ministry alive" he said to me.
I chuckled and nodded, "but I don't look like I used to and they won't recognise me" I said.
Dad smiled and looked at me, "don't worry about that sweetie" dad said to me.
I noticed that Faye and Ron walked back into the office and I turned to them, "why are you here" I asked hiding the relationship from my parents and his.
Ron walked over to me and bent down taking my hands not realising that his parents and mine were smiling, "I think you need to do this Oct, you would wake screaming and marks that they would leave you. Not to mention Fred and George, they nearly killed that Dursley from what he did to you" Ron said making mum and dad look over to him.
"Fred and George caught him doing what to my daughter" mum asked.
Ron looked over to my mother and shook his head, "they were horrible to her and at the time I believed that they did this because they were horrible people, but since they have found out who they really are and well after Dumbledore openly outed them as the dark lords children's I believe that he knows more that he is letting on" Ron said.
I watched as Ron turned to his parents, "I think there is more to this story and when we are in a safe place I would like to speak about this with them and listen to their side, now if you don't want to and want to follow your path with that idiot then fine but it is time that I make my own choices in this" he said and turned to me again with a smile on his face.
I looked confused over what had been said and that when I realised something and turned to them, "that's why they are protective of me, I did wonder how I got to the burrow" I said to them.
Ron nodded sadly, "when we found you I thought that I lost you that night, you were cover in blood and naked, if it wasn't for the twins I don't think that you would have lived past that night Oct" Ron said with tears in his eyes.
I looked up to Molly and Arthur and noticed that they had something in there hands and looked sorry, "we took her to the doctors at St. Mungo to be looked at that summer and well the medi-healer said that this wasn't the first time that she fought back, we tried to get custody of her but we couldn't the ministry said no Liv, but we did get this documented for this" Molly said passing my parents a folder.
I didn't want to look as my mother broke down, I looked down to my mother and noticed that she was in tears and as for my father he looked like he would kill him, I wrapped my arms around my legs and felt someone pick me up, turning around I noticed that it was dad and he was going to put himself out there and there was nothing I could do to stop him from going after him, "I am so sorry sweetie" dad said to me.
I looked at him with confusion on my face, "this was not your fault, you didn't know where I was and didn't know where to find me, if anything this is the potters fault" I snapped.
Dad looked down to me and smirked, "100% a riddle there Liv" a voice said.
I turned around and noticed that it was Sirius Black, "Octavia" he asked me.
I looked confused and turned to my parents, "I have no idea who he is" I said to them.
Dumbledore walked out and frowned, "Sirius what are you doing here, and where is Remus" Dumbledore said.
I watched as Dumbledore walked over to Sirius and pushed him out of the door, "not before I speak to her, I have a right to speak to her she is family to me" Sirius snapped at him.
I got up and walked over to him and pushed past Dumbledore and smiled at Sirius, "I sorry but I don't really remember you, but I have a feeling that you might be able to answer some questions that we have, please could you help us" I asked smiling.
He nodded and wrapped his arms around me, I tried to not flinch but I knew that he noticed it and pulled me back, "now you are too skinny for a 15 year old and not to mention I can smell blood on you" Sirius said to me.
Mum ran over to me and quickly went searching for the blood and I batted her hands away from me and smiled as dad looked worried but stayed where he was, "mum it's just time of the month" I whispered to her.
Mum laughed and quickly took me to the fireplace and grabbed the floo powder, "please follow us to our home, all of you please" mum said and turned to the fireplace "Riddle Manor" she said and pulled me through with her.
