!!!READ OTHER PARTS BEFORE YOU READ THIS!!! THANX!
Where we left off:
I sat down and started to calm my breathing. For some reason it wouldn't stay calm...
"Did you read the Daily Prophet today?" I asked. Elizabeth nodded.
"So I guess you know whether it is true are not." She frowned and nodded her head. I gulped.
"So, is Voldemort my real father?" I whispered.
Elizabeth looked at Snape, who nodded and then she turned back to me.
"~~~~, your father is..."
**the start of fourteen**
"~~~~, your father is the Dark Lord."
I stared at her. I didn't want it to true. How could I be Voldemort's child? Why would he give me to my so-called parents and why would he give me away? Who was my real mother?
"Snape and I have known from the beginning but he had asked us not to tell you. No one else knew that was your parents mission." she said. I nodded my head.
It made sense. I mean, when I was young I KNEW that He was still alive when everyone thought he was died. Then there was the whole, not looking like my parents. It made sense. Also, I could say his name... because it was mine too.
I stared at the table cloth. It was white and had a little flower design. I even look similar to him... I was tall, like him. I even had some of his temper. But who was my mom? Who could Voldemort ever love?
"I think ~~~~ should go to bed. She's had a long day." said Snape, putting his dishes in the sink. Elizabeth smiled and I stood up. She then lead me down the hall, pasted a closet and into a guest room.
It was nice and clean. The room had a twin sized bed, closet and a desk. There was even a bathroom. Very nice for last minute guest...
"Thank you, Elizabeth. I didn't know what to do after I heard..."
"It's ok ~~~~. I am sure this isn't easy for you to take right now. You go get some sleep and we will talk more in the morning." she smiled and I nodded my head. She then walked over to the closet and pulled out a nightgown and a bathrobe.
"You can use this to sleep in. It should fit you ok. Help yourself to anything in the kitchen. There are more blankets in the hall closet if you want one. Snape and I are in the room next to you if you need us. Was there anything else you may need?"
"No, thank you."
"Ok." She then put a hand on her stomach and smiled. I smiled.
"How much longer till the baby comes?" I asked.
"Just a month left or so. Snape can't wait till we have the baby, I have been driving him crazy! Last week, we had just came home from the grocery store when I asked if we had any ice cream and wafers. He gave me this look and walked back out to the car. When he came home with ice cream and wafers, I didn't want them anymore but I did want pizza. Well, after a few more trips to the store, he finally cracked and tossed the keys at me. So I went to the store, thinking I was only getting olive salad but I came home with salami and french bread." she giggled.
"Snape must have loved that." I said. She smiled.
"He makes me go shopping by myself now. Just so he can spare himself a few minutes of sanity."
"Hey I heard that." said Snape, entering the room. Elizabeth smiled and Snape put a arm around her. He kissed her on the cheek and looked at me.
"Do you have everything you need?" he asked. He said it in a very nice way. I was a little uncomfortable seeing Snape, since the last time I saw him, he had saved my life.
I nodded. He smiled.
"Then I think we will leave you to go to bed. Elizabeth needs to rest or her feet will be the size of melons this time tomorrow."
"Hey!" said Elizabeth, playfully punching Snape in arm. He made a show of it hurting.
"I can't wait till that little one comes out. You are so physical when you are pregnant." he teased.
She smiled and took his hand.
"Good night, ~~~~." she said then they left the room. All the joy that was in the room, left with them. And everything kind of hit me. Tears came to my eyes and I thought about everything.
Voldemort is my father...
My 'parents' don't want me...
Draco hasn't even sent me an owl today...
My life was over...
And it was going to have to start over...
As His daughter...
I took my clothes off and put on the nightgown Elizabeth had given me to use. It fit me fine, so I climbed into bed and closed my eyes. This is only a dream, I will wake up tomorrow and it will fade away...
*Elizabeth POV*
I finished brushing my teeth and left the bathroom. We were in our bedroom. Snape was sitting on the bed, flipping through one of his potion books. I picked up around the room and put his dirty clothes into the hamper in the closet. Snape looked up from his book.
"I was about to pick that up."
"I know." I smiled. Snape normally never left anything on the floor but it felt good to be able to pick up after him. I should of been able to years ago.
I then sat down next to him and he closed his book.
"So, ~~~~, now knows about her real father. We are going to have to take her to the Ministry tomorrow." said Silver. I nodded. He put his arms around me, the best he could. Remember I do have a BIG tummy now and well, it still was good being in his arms.
"I still don't think it is right. The way the Ministry put that in the paper. She didn't even know about it till then, and that was after many people had already read it."
"I know but they do stupid things sometimes." Silver said, rubbing my low back. I closed my eyes and smiled. It felt wonderful! Silver continued to rub and I opened my eyes. I smiled at him and he grinned.
"How I told you lately that I love you?" I asked.
"Not in the past two seconds." he said, there was a little bit of disappointment in his voice. I giggled and kissed him.
"I love you." I said. He smiled and pulled me close.
"I know. I love you too." he whispered.
I smiled and kissed him again. Then I stood and Silver helped me get into bed. It was hard to bend with my tummy so he would pull the blankets down, so I could lie down easier. I loved how he thought about doing the simple things for me but then again, he hasn't been able to for years.
"Thanks." I said as I got comfortable in our bed. He smiled and kissed me on the forehead before he laid down next to me. I smiled and closed my eyes as his arms went around me and our unborn baby.
*Normal POV*
The next morning, I took a very long shower. Hey, I had time! It was like, five in the morning. I didn't sleep well, at all. I put on the clothes I wore yesterday and after staring at the clock for who know of long, I heard Elizabeth and Snape in the room next to mine.
I gave them ten minutes then I went out to the kitchen for breakfast. Snape was sitting at the table, reading the Daily Prophet, while Elizabeth was frying eggs. She smiled when she saw me.
"Good morning ~~~~. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, thank you." I lied and sat down at the table. Snape folded his paper and got up and started making orange juice. I just watched them. Seeing Snape with Elizabeth doesn't freak me out anymore. I mean, with Voldemort gone, Snape is like, so much more human. If that makes mean. He is happy and he is also making jokes and being, cool. 100% different from the Professor Snape I knew from school.
"Do you need any help with anything?" I asked. My mother always told me to be helpful when at some else home.
"No, everything is ready." said Elizabeth, putting plates with toast and eggs on the table. Snape poured juice into glasses and set them on the table. Elizabeth got out forks and some bananas.
They then sat down at the table. (We said a pray) Then we started to eat. The eggs were good and filled me up. I took a banana anyway. I love bananas! After I had finished eating, I sat there with my hands in my lap. I didn't know if they wanted me to wash my plate or not.
Elizabeth had already finished eating and was reading the Prophet. Snape was taking his time, slowly eating his toast. Elizabeth glanced up at me.
"Where do you want me to put my plate?" I asked. O well...
"I'll take it." she said, standing and taking her plate and mine. She then washed it and put it in the rack to dry. She then looked at Snape and he looked up at her.
"What?" he asked. She shrugged and smiled. He narrowed his eyes and then grinned. Then he shoveled the rest of his food in his mouth and washed his plate. Then they both looked at me. I looked at the floor.
"~~~~, I know you probably don't want to do this but we have to take you to the Ministry, for the blood test."
I nodded my head. I knew this was going to happen. O well, I guess I should let EVERYONE know that my father is Voldemort. I am going to be famous! I will be known as a FREAK!
"Ok," I said. This all sucks. BIG.
Just then an owl flew in the open window. He landed on the table and Snape took the letter off it's leg. The owl flew out of the room as Snape opened the letter. He nodded his head as he read. Then he put it in his pocket.
"It was from McGonagall. She was making sure ~~~~ got here ok and reminded us to take her back to school in time for the first day."
How did she know I was here?
"I think we should head out." said Elizabeth, cheerfully. I shrugged and we all to the coat closet to get our coats. I then followed then into a garage. Inside there was a van. It looked like a Muggle car. I going to say it would be faster to Apparate there when Elizabeth spoke.
"I don't like to Apparate right now. Its weird with the baby and all, but the car has some magic in it so we won't waste any time."
I nodded and climbed into the car. I sat in the back, Elizabeth in the passenger seat and Snape at the wheel. He pushed some buttons and then we went through the garage door! Through the door! This is so a wizard car!
Snape then drove down a road and yeah, he drove very fast. And I MEAN FAST! It reminded me of the Knight Bus.
It took us five minutes to get to the Ministry, and I am positive that Snape and Elizabeth live at least five hours away.
Snape pushed some more buttons and we started to slow down and then he parked the car. He helped Elizabeth out of the car and locked all the doors. I was waiting for them to catch up with me.
I was standing next to the old red telephone that was next to a wall, covered with graffiti. We went inside and Snape closed the door. Elizabeth picked up the receiver. She dialed, six, two, four, four, and two again. A woman's voice spoke.
"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic. Please state your name and business."
"Elizabeth Snape. I am here to take Miss ~~~~ to have a blood test. High Priority."
"Thank you," said the voice. " Visitor, please take the badge and attach it to your robes."
There was a click and a silver badge appeared. I picked it up and saw ~~~~, First Priority Blood Testing. I pinned it to my coat and the voice spoke again.
We then started to sink into the ground. Darkness filled the booth. Then the floor lit up and the woman spoke again.
"The Ministry of Magic wishes you a pleasant day."
Then the door opened and we stepped out into the big hall. Snape lead us past the fountain and went past the sign that said SECURITY. The man there nodded at Snape as we pasted him. He was checking everyone's wands.
We then went into a door that said NO VISITORS. Snape lead us down another hall and then we turned and there was a witch sitting behind a desk. She was reciting and her quill was taking notes.
"# 2954, Mr. Jima Knots had a an extra arm removed. #2956, Mrs. Harry Milken tested for Vampire Poisoning. #2957 Mr. -"
She stopped talking when she saw us. She waved her wand and the quill stopped writing.
"How may I help you?" she asked. Snape stepped forward.
"We are here for Miss ~~~~ to have a blood test."
"Miss ~~~~!" she looked at me and her face went pale. *gulp* "Please follow me." she said.
She then lead us down another hall and opened a door. Inside there was a doctor and a nurse. They smiled when they saw me. The lady left the room but first she handed the doctor a paper.
"Good morning, ~~~~. We will be drawing you blood today." he said as he pointed to a chair. No duh... I sat down and looked at Elizabeth, who smiled.
"Just roll up your shelve." said the nurse. I did and then she put a needle in me.
Hey! I thought they were going to use magic to take my blood! Not use some Muggle thing! This hurts!
"We have to take your blood this way. Magic leaves particles in your blood other wise and we don't really want to have to clean your blood. It takes a while and we end up losing important information." she said, then she took the needle out and cleaned up my arm.
"You are to wait here till we have the results." she said as she gave the tube of blood to the doctor. He left the room and I looked at Elizabeth. Do I have to?
Elizabeth had the same question.
"Can we just bring her back? We have some shopping to do."
The nurse thought for a moment, then shrugged.
"As long as you bring her back, it should be ok."
"Will do." said Snape and we left the room with the nurse.
I climbed into the back seat in the van.
"Well, that was easy." said Elizabeth, smiling at me. I shrugged and looked out the window.
"Who cares if I am His daughter? He is dead now, I shouldn't have to be taking blood tests."
"They just want to find out who your mother is." said Elizabeth.
"And sell more papers." muttered Snape. Elizabeth glared at him and he shrugged.
"What? Its what they are doing. They are trying to make her into some popular figure. Good or bad, who knows. They just want to be able to say, we found Voldemort's daughter and she is alive and a good kid. Also, I think they are still trying to cover up the fact that Dumbledore was alive and they didn't know it."
"Snape!"
"Hey, its true." said Snape, Elizabeth looked out her window.
"They are all a bunch of jerks if you ask me." I muttered. They heard me but didn't say anything.
Snape took us to Hogsmeade. After parking (I don't know where) We went into Three Broomsticks for Butterbeers. I sipped mine slowly as Snape and Elizabeth talked about what they needed for the week.
"We have plenty of food." said Snape, looking at a checklist. Elizabeth shook her head.
"We need a few things." she said. Snape looked up at her.
"What do we need? You went shopping two days ago."
"I know, but we are out of milk and we don't have any steak or-"
"Steak? Why do we need steak?" asked Snape.
"Well, I have a craving for-"
Snape put up a hand and wrote done FOOD - ELIZABETH. She smiled and they continued making their list. By the time I finished my butterbeer they were done and ready to go.
"I need to get some dragon heart." said Snape as we left the Three Broomsticks.
"Ok, you go get that and ~~~~ and I will get everything else." said Elizabeth. Snape nodded and handed her their list.
"I'll meet you by the car in an hour." said Snape. He then kissed her on the cheek and walked away.
Elizabeth turned to me.
"Well, lets get started."
After what seemed like forever, we finally made it back to the car. Man, I never would of thought two people needed so much stuff. We had gotten things form kitchen tools, books, food and odd and ends. The only fun part was looking at baby books. Elizabeth still didn't know what to call the baby so we spent a while flipping through books and laughing at the odd names they had.
Snape was waiting by the car. He helped put everything in the car, then we all got in. We then started back to the Ministry of Magic.
To prove that I was Voldemort's daughter.
And that I was a freak.
Well, more so anyway...
*****
"We have the results." said the doctor guy. I nodded and looked at the floor. Here it comes and soon, the whole world will know.
"You are indeed, He-who-must-not-be-named's daughter. We are now trying to find out who your mother is. Till then you will be put in a foster home."
What?!?!?!
"No freaking way! I am not going to live with strangers!"
"Now, Miss ~~~~, we have to-"
"No, you don't have to do anything! I can go back to Hogwarts and then stay with a friend or two. But I do NOT have to stay in a foster home. I am almost of age!"
"But you are not of age." he said, I growled.
"I know someone who can take ~~~~ in after school ends." said Elizabeth. I looked at her and got some hope. Please be her and Snape! I would so prefer that other so stranger!
"Who? And are they in the foster program?" asked the evil doctor.
"Well, no she isn't but she could. She is more then qualified to take care of her."
"Well, who is it?" demanded the doctor. How rude! (Me: sorry, Full House moment! Oops!)
Snape gave him a look and the doctor gulped. Elizabeth continued.
"Maria McGonagall."
I opened my mouth.
I never, EVER would of thought of her. I mean, she is a teacher at Hogwarts and she is like, my TEACHER! Are they allowed to have lives outside of school?
The doctor looked as shocked as I was.
"Isn't she a teacher? I am positive she worked at Hogwarts when I was there."
Elizabeth nodded and the doctor made a note on a piece of paper.
"I will discuss this with the Ministry and we will get back with you as soon as possible. Will Miss ~~~~ be taken back to school?"
"Yes," said Snape. He nodded and stood. He then shook Snape's hand and left the room.
I hate this! Why do I have to change where I live? Do I really need a babysitter? And does it have to be McGonagall?
She's nice and all but come on, she is a teacher. Well, so is Snape and Elizabeth but that is different. I knew them before I knew they were teachers.
"Why Professor McGonagall? I mean, why is she the person you think will that me in?" I asked, as we headed out of the hall and into the main hall. Elizabeth smiled and glanced at Snape, who smiled.
"I have my reasons." was all she said. Grrr... I hate it when people do that! They know why, they have a reason, but they don't tell you! I HATE it!
We walked out to the van and got in.
*****
I sat down on my bed and took off my shoes.
The Daily Prophet was already asking me to do interviews and a load of other things. I signed a paper that Elizabeth gave me, that said that they could not print anything about me without my approval. If they did, they would be cursed. I kind of like that thought...
I changed out of my dirty clothes and pulled on a pair of clean pjs and a tee. I was back at Hogwarts and well, I was already getting new looks form people. Lavender wouldn't come near me. Hermione said it was because her mother told her that you were dangerous, living two lives. Neville, well, he was more nervous then ever. But yeah, I knew that this was only the beginning...
Hermione entered our room and sat down on her bed. She smiled to herself then started to get ready for bed. I sat down and waited for her to spill. I knew she would, eventually.
"Guess what!" she said as she combed her hair.
"What?" I asked.
"I heard that Ron was going to be coming to school tomorrow! Isn't it great?"
I smiled. I liked Ron, in grade school I had a major crush on him.
"Yes it is but I thought he and Harry weren't speaking to each other?"
"Oh, well, I talked to Ron and he said something about having a new girlfriend."
"Really? Who?"
"I don't know, it was what he told me." she then blew out her candle and closed her eyes.
I looked at me candle and the flame, thinking. Ron is coming to school tomorrow. So is Draco *smile*, it will be an interesting day. I can't wait to see Ron's face when he sees that I am dating Draco. And loving it!
Read it. Review it.
