Okies, I'm hoping by now that ya all know I don't own the Harry Potter characters except the ones I make on up. Yup yup, contrary to popular belief, I am not the bloody brillant J.K. Rowlings. Nope nope. Hate to disappoint you all.

Thanks to Monica WoodFairy for reviewing!

Last chapter: Harry looks to Jewel and says "I have some questions I would like to ask.." Jewel nods, and steadies herself, having a feeling that this will be a long talk...

Chapter 13

Jewel looks at Neville and raises a brow slightly. She looks to her boys and calls for Maria. She sends Maria away with both boys, as they whine and pout that they do not want to go. Harry looks on, chuckling under his breath at the scene before him. Draco limps on, with Tia following behind him telling him he should dtill be in bed. Draco sits down and Jewel smiles, shrugging her shoulders slightly as Draco gives a muttered hello to everyone. He grabs a sandwich and a drink, settling back in the chair. Jewel looks at Harry, nodding her head for him to start. She has been waiting for this. In all honesty, she had to give him credit for if she was in his position she would have been raising bloody hell by now.

Harry nods, then asks "Your last name is Black. I knew someone whos last name was Black. But he didn't have a daughter, as far as we all know. Who was your father?"

Jewel looks at Harry and smiles slightly, saying " I don't know who he was. He died before my brother and I was born. My gram didn't say much, except that he was killed by Voldermort. My.. "mum" married Aleric Kirthantos. He was a Death Eater, as was my "mum"."

Harry hears the disgust in Jewels voice about her "mum", he nods slightly and Jewel continues "My..."mum" was, or should I say still is.. part of Voldermorts inner circle. After Aleric died, she married another. His name is Rudolph Lestrange.. Unfortunately, my "mum" is Bellatrix Lestrange, the worst and most deranged Death Eater around."

Draco drops the sandwich he was eating right on the floor, his mouth open in a huge "O" shape. Harry looks at her wide eyed in shock, his face pale as he was not expecting to hear that. Both Harry and Draco see Nevilles hand cletch Jewels tight, siding with Jewel.

Neville states in a sad voice "Its not her fault that her "mum" is a crazed lunatic. " he spits that out with enough venom that Draco and Harry look startled, Neville looking at Draco with an apology in his eyes for having called Dracos aunt what he did, before contiuing on. " I have known Jewel for 14 years before she found out. When she did, she hollared to me on the two way mirror and told me. She also said that she would understand if I never wished to speak to her again. After a few days of thinking I told her that I couldn't hold her responsible for what her "parents" have done. It just would not be right. Just because her parents were bad, didn't automatically make her bad. She is nothing like them, as you both can tell."

Jewel watches Harry and Draco as Neville speaks. She sees the horro, then understanding as Nevilles words sink in. By the time that Neville is done speaking Dracos mouth has closed so that he no longer resembles a fish gasping for air, and Harrys shock has mostly gone away.

Harry shakes his head and says "How come I never heard of you before this. You'd think that it would be hanging up on the Black tapestry. "

Jewel shrugs her shoulders and sighs, stating "I in all honesty do not have a clue. Could be that the Black side didn't know, or perhaps blown off like your Godfather Sirius?All I know is this. Voldermort, and my so called "parents" do know I am alive. That is why I am in hiding. I've had a few run ins with the Death Eaters. I had to decide if I wished to stayed hidden and safe, for my sons protection... Or come out in the open, get you and fight against them. In the end, fighting to get rid of this loser seemed like the best thing. If Voldermort succeds, what kind of a life will my children have? I can't keep them hidden. Its not right."

Draco and Harry look shocked at Jewels statements, neither of them ever having known anyone to risk her life (except Harry, his mum did but he never really got to know her.) for her sons, friends and strangers. Jewel sips her tea, waiting for the onslaught of questions from both Harry and Draco, but to her surpirise they do not come. Harry seems satisfied for now with what was said, and Draco just looks like he is having trouble taking it all in. She looks at the time and curses, seeing its 4pm and she has to start getting everything ready for tonight.

Jewel looks to Draco and Harry, stating quietly "If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask whenever you wish. Harry, happy birthday. Unfortunately I have to go out tonight and "get" you. But, before I leave we will have cake and ice cream."

Jewel gets up and leaves the room, the three boys looking at each other strangely. Draco and Harry looking like they are trying to take it all in and process it, as Neville stays behind incase they wish to ask him questions about her.
