Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Truth Is Revealed
Just a quick note, I got rid of the note in the last chapter because I used Google translate so that I could understand and the answer to whether Lily and Severus will have more children is that you're just going to have to wait and see hehe. There really aren't an awful lot of chapters left btw just so you guys know.
The next morning Severus and Stevie went back to King's Cross Station to go to platform nine and three quarters and board the train that would take them back to Hogwarts. Meanwhile, Lily, Dudley, Petunia, and Sarah all stayed back behind at home with Nugget. The next few months flew by and before everybody knew it, Christmas time had arrived again.
However, this wasn't going to be like any other regular Christmas. For this year, Severus decided to do something that he had been putting off for quite a while. He was going to ask Lily to be his bride. That would also mean that he would become the stepfather of Harry and Sarah and since all three of them loved him very much, and they knew that he loved them, he figured that it would be the perfect Christmas present.
That would also mean that Lily would officially become Stevie's aunt and Harry and Sarah would become her distant cousins. After Severus and Stevie returned home for Christmas break, Severus decided to go to the wizarding mall right away for Lily's engagement ring. Stevie was already in on it and promised him that she wouldn't say anything about it if he would let her go ice skating with Chase in return.
A wide grin stretched a crossed Stevie's face once Lily dropped her off at the ice arena. "Hullo Stevie, where have you been? I haven't seen you since you told me that you had to go back to school." He pointed out and that's when suddenly the grin on Stevie's face started to fade.
"Yeah, I know Chase I'm really sorry." She began. "It's just that I forgot to mention that I go to boarding school." She told him.
"Oh really which one?" He questioned her and that's when suddenly she tensed up nervously.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." She replied as Chase just simply looked at her.
"Want to run that by me again?" He questioned her with disbelief.
"Alright Chase, I realize that this is going to be difficult for you to understand and I'm taking a huge risk by telling you this,.. but I'm a witch." She finally admitted.
"Yeah,.. right,.. so what did you really have to tell me?" He questioned.
"Look it's true! I am a witch! The only thing is that I can't actually prove it to you because I don't turn seventeen until next year and I'm not allowed to do magic outside school or there's a possibility that I'll be expelled and my uncle is definitely not going to like that." She explained.
"So how can I know for sure that you're telling me the truth?" He asked her.
"Would I lie to you!?" She hollered.
"Yes you would and you have Stevie." He began. "Or maybe you didn't actually lie to me but you never really did tell me the whole truth either. I thought you liked me." He finished.
"I do like you Chase!" Stevie cried when all of a sudden she felt close to bursting into tears.
"Then prove it." He told her and without even stopping to really think about it Stevie withdrew her wand and pointed it at a pair of ice skates.
"Wingardium Leviosa." She said with a swish and flick of her wand and magically the skates levitated into the air and she broke the spell once they were in front of her and safely on the bench. "Now do you believe me?" She questioned him as Chase's eyes suddenly widened in complete and utter shock and horror.
"You really are a witch!" He cried.
"Yes but I promise I'm the good kind, and please don't say anything to anybody about that. I could wind up getting in really big trouble. Especially if my uncle finds out about it." She told him.
"Can you do magic without a wand as well?" He wondered.
"Well some witches can and I'm starting to learn how to do it but it's extremely difficult to master and I'm not that good at it yet and I personally prefer a wand anyways since it's easier." She told him as he just simply looked at her not really sure what else to say. "Please Chase, can't we just forget about the whole entire thing and skate?" She asked him but that's when suddenly a brunette woman with bright green eyes and her hair tied up in a ponytail came up to them.
"I saw what you did freak! It's a wonder why Chase wants to be your friend!" The girl snapped before pushing her over onto the ground.
"Hey lay off her Julie! It shouldn't matter if Stevie's a witch or not because she's a good person, and I like her just the way she is!" He yelled back at her.
"That's somebody you know then I take it." Stevie said while glaring up at the girl.
"That's right Stevie. I'm his girlfriend and a hundred percent human being. So you better just hop back on your broomstick and fly back to where you came from freak!" She snapped as a Stevie quickly turned her head back over to look up at Chase.
"I don't believe it! She's your girlfriend!?" She hollered while looking at him the way he looked at her when he first found out that she was a witch.
"No wait Stevie! You don't understand!" He cried as a tear rolled down Stevie's cheek.
"You lied to me." She told him before she quickly rose to her feet and started running towards the exit.
"Stevie wait!" He cried again but it was already too late since she was already out the door.
