Same disclaimer as Chapter 1
The next morning when the daily profit came it mentioned a blood bath that happened in a muggle town everyone was shocked. Voldemort was dead! So, he couldn't have done it, Storm was calmly eating her breakfast and felt Severus's eyes on her, so she quirked her eyebrow.
"Meet me after breakfast" he mouthed Storm rolled her eyes but gave a short nod, she continued eating and excused herself from Rain and her siblings as she made her way to the Dungeons, she gave a knock to Severus's office door and he called enter from within the room. As soon as the door closed behind her, she felt the wards go up,
"Care to explain this to me?" Severus drawled putting the paper on his desk,
"I have no idea what you are referring to Professor Snape" Storm said casually
"That I don't believe. Both Sirius and I felt your magic when you returned, we could taste the darkness. Severus said quietly
"Miss it does you" Storm smirked, yesterday had only had a small taste and she loved it, she was finally using her magic for what she should be using it for. She was a Black after all was, she not and a Dumbledore she thought bitterly but she couldn't help but smirk, with Dumbledore in Azkaban she could take over his vaults,
"Sir I was wondering if we could make a trip to Gringotts" Storm smirked sadistically causing the older man to gulp,
"Why is that?" Severus asked
"If it is true and Albus Dumbledore is my father" Storm said spitting the last word it utter disgust
"Then I should be able to take over his vaults and lordship/ladyship" Storm smirked. Severus couldn't help but gape, this child is only thirteen and already thinking with her head,
"I will speak with the Headmistress" Severus nodded
"Thank-you" Storm replied succeeding in changing the subject
"May I go?" Storm asked innocently
"Yes of course" Severus said distractedly, and Storm smirked and left. It wasn't until ten minutes later he realised he never got an answer about the muggles, he couldn't help but sigh as he went to find Minerva before classes started.
"Severus, is everything alright?" Minerva asked
"Of course. Storm wishes to go to Gringotts" Severus replied
"Whatever for?" McGonagall frowned
"She was saying since Albus was her father" Severus sneered the last word
"That she wants to take over as Ladyship. Or talk about it for when she comes of age" Severus replied Minerva blinked in surprised
"And this was her idea?" Minerva asked Severus nodded her head a sigh escaped the old woman's lips these children surely would be the death of her one day and Storm isn't even her's although by the looks of things between her and Rain it looks like she might get a daughter-in-law at some point, she pinched the bridge of her nose
"If we don't give her permission then she would just sneak out, so yes as long as Rolanda or Narcissa go with her" Minerva replied
"I don't think they are the best people at the moment. I would happily take her if you like?" Severus said Minerva remembering last night sighed
"Yes, and take Sirius with you" Minerva replied Severus nodded
"Tomorrow is Saturday so it can be done then" Minerva replied
"Okay" Severus nodded
"Anything else?" Minerva asked since becoming headmistress she has a lot more work to do and is getting stretched thin but seeing her children at the end of the long day made it all worth it. The day went by quickly and finally Storm was standing outside of Gringotts with Severus on one side and Sirius on the other, Storm bowed to the goblins as she walked past them until they got to the podium at the end of the other side of the room
"I would like to speak with the Goblin that is the head of the Dumbledore vaults please" Storm said politely trying to stop herself from smirking the goblin blinked and then scurried away
"Follow me Miss, Kargott is ready to see you'll Griphok grunted, Storm nodded her head and followed the two men behind her stiff as a board Griphok knocked on the door, and Kargott told them they could enter. Storm stepped inside the office and laid eyes on the Goblin and bowed
"What can I help you with Miss Black?" Kargott asked eye her suspiciously
"My father is Albus Dumbledore" Storm said, Griphok and Kargott stared at the young girl
"If you wish to test it for yourself you can" Storm added, Kargott nodded and grabbed the Bowles and potions out needed
"Prick your finger and drop it in the potions," Kargott said. And Storm did as she was told and true to her words; Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore was in fact this girl's father
"How" Kargott snarled not at them but at the situation the man is over 100 years old
"He took a Poly-juice potion and tricked my mother into sleeping with him, I'm assuming you know how kids are then made?" Storm replied with a small smirk. Kargott chuckled he liked the young Black
"Yes, sadly I know how wizard's and witches create children" Kargott said in amusement
"And since he is my father, and he is in Azkaban for life. I can take over as Ladyship when I can over age can't I?" Storm said innocently but everyone in the room knew it wasn't as innocent as she pretended it to be
"That you can" Kargott nodded. He pulled out files upon files for the girl to go through and sign, then spent most of the day at Gringotts and finally when they left it was late in the afternoon. Storm now richer, and she couldn't wait till Albus found out, they flooed to Minerva's office who asked how it went and Storm told her what happened, she was then excused
"I just hope it doesn't go to her head" Minerva muttered
"Think we got worst things to worry about" Sirius replied and if it wasn't for her Animagus being a cat she would have missed it
"And why is that Sirius" Minerva asked looking at him Sirius tensed he looked at Severus who gave a short nod
"We think Storm might end up going dark" Sirius said,
"Has she shown any indication that she is?" Minerva asked
"No" Sirius lied, Minerva eyed him and then looked at Severus, both are exceptional liars so even if they weren't telling the truth she wouldn't know. But for now, all she can do is help the girl stay light and not lose her down that path, because if she did, she knew much like her Aunty there would be no return. Yes, Bellatrix might not be killing everyone, unless the muggles where her or other death eaters she still isn't one hundred percent sane and she never will be. Surprisingly Narcissa and Sirius never ventured down that path, Severus had, and she was luckily enough that Voldemort betrayed him and turned him to the light. She pursed her lips looking between the two
"Good, if you see any sign, she is let me know straight away" Minerva said both nodded
"Good now let's go see the children" Minerva sighed as she walked to their private quarters. Rolanda and Narcissa were sitting with the kids and Storm outright ignoring them, she doesn't blame her, she too is surprised by the two being together and it hurt her that Rolanda lied and hid it from her because she thought they were best friends. Minerva couldn't help but look over at Storm seeing if she could see in anyway of the girl is going dark but must like the first year she kept her mask well in place, she was secretive that much she knew, it wasn't until she was dying that she told everyone what Lucius had done if he hadn't beaten her that badly she doubt Storm would have said anything until her magic backlashes and struck out killing him. Either way Storm would have killed Lucius and it would have gotten out what he did to her, and then Albus would have come forward. She still felt sick to her stomach thinking what he did to poor Narcissa, her eyes flickered to the blonde women who kept glancing at her daughter with worry,
"Mum!" Rain shouted turning everyone attention to her she couldn't help but smile,
"Did you hear, Storm took over Dumbledore's vaults!" Rain laughed
"Yes, I did, what made you think of that?" Minerva asked the girl, Storm shrugged and hide a smirk she knew she wasn't going to get answers not anytime soon, she wondered what the girl was planning, she knew she wouldn't purposely put Rain in harm's way but after everything lately she couldn't help but worry for her daughter. As much as she wanted to stop Storm from seeing Rain, she knew she couldn't if anything it would just drive them more together, so at this point in time she will leave it, but the second Storm starts going dark she will be stopping Storm from coming near her kids. She would happily help the girl, but she wouldn't want them near her children until she started going natural or light. She sat down with Narcissa and Hooch and entered into a conversation while yes, she was upset, she wouldn't shut the women out they have been through too much.
