A/N: It's kind of weird, I know, but secrets are finally out and it's hard for her at the beginning. She's never told to anyone about it. Here's another chapter. Enjoy...
Chapter 11: More revelations
It was the time to save someone. This was the right moment to be something else for my parents than a big secret. But my little baby body couldn't do much. A green light shined on the corridor and I fell something break inside me. He killed dad and now he was coming to us. I heard a terrible laugh as he blasted the door of our room. Harry cried as mom put him in his bed. As she was telling him to calm down and that she loved us the most, she reached for me. But then he entered and I hid behind the bed. He tried to get mom out of the way but she didn't move, she tried to protect us. A heartbreaking scream echoed in the room and she fell on the floor. He turned to Harry, aiming to kill him. 'Bloody prophecy' I thought. As the curse left the wand, I jumped in front of my brother and grabbed the green lightning. Two little balls left my hand, and was absorbed by our birthmarks. I handed the curse to Voldemort and, with a terrified look on his face, he evaporated. Everything blacked out.
I felt trapped in my own skin. I couldn't move or speak and my head was still pulsing. Suddenly, I remembered what happened before I fainted. Now, he knew who I was. I took a look into his mind. He was sitting next to me, in the darkest corner of the hospital wing. He was examining his and my hands and also didn't know what to think. I've been unconscious for three days. Fortunately, none of the teachers threatened him yet. I still couldn't move when he left the hospital wing. My whole body was benumbed but I was starting to feel it again.
"He left finally?"
"Well, it had..."
"...to happen sometime..."
"...Madame Pomfrey"
"Ok boys, now you can go and watch over her. That Malfoy boy can't find out about you now. "
"Thank you very..."
"...much, Madame"
That could only be the twins. I heard them walking up to me.
"Maybe we'll tell mum to put a hospital sign on her Weasley sweater for Christmas"
"Or a white serpent"
Finally, I was again in full control of my body and told them:
"You two are legit idiots"
"Oh, finally the..."
"...Sleeping Beauty..."
"...woke up."
"I shouldn't have let you read those muggle story"
"Now, why don't you..."
"...tell us what happened?"
"How did you..."
"...manage to get..."
"...into the hospital wing and..."
"...make Pomfrey, McGonagall and Snape..."
"...find out about Malfoy?"
"Well, I've got a strong sensation that you two either kicked or bewitched the bludger that hit me and made me bleed till I fainted."
"Oh, no we didn't. The Ravenclaws were determined to find out how far can a bludger go."
"But thanks for the information. Now we know."
"Know what?"
"Who needs a..."
"...strong round of pranks and why"
"No! I forbid you to do that."
"Ok, maybe we'll listen..."
"...but we still have a question for..."
"...you: What were you..."
"...doing outside on Thursday anyway?"
"I was making a list of presents for Christmas for everyone"
"Ok. Then, that means..."
"...there's no way back, because..."
"...you're spending this Christmas with..."
"...the Weasley family!"
"Ok. Two questions:First, what does the rest of the school know?"
"That you've been hit by a crazy bludger sent off the pitch by the Ravenclaws..."
"...and then you've been unconscious for the last two full days."
"Ok, so basically the truth. Secondly, can you please take me to my room? I want you to finally meet someone and it would be weird to do that here."
"Ok, but firstly, do the..."
"...invisibility cloak thing so..."
"...people won't ask why we're taking..."
"...you out of the hospital wing."
"Ok." I said as I concentrated on being invisible. Then I put one of my hands behind each of them so they could basically carry me to my room.
We walked the halls like this, met a few people on our way, but they didn't suspect anything.
Finally we made it to the painting of three mermaids on a rock. I stroked the tail of one of them and the painting turned around, revealing another painting, one of the four founders. I approached Rowena Ravenclaw and whispered to her the password: "Deathly Hallows". A big, wood door swung open, revealing my big, tower like room. At the bottom, there was a living room with a library covering the walls. In the middle, there was a room where I managed to make muggle technology work, so I had laptops and routers there, and at the top of the tower there was a huge, queen sized bed, a TV and some photos of my family, left by my parents.
I reversed the spell, to make myself visible and we all sat on the big, comfortable sofa in the middle of the living room.
"Now, you both saw the power of the elder wand and of the Cloak. But you didn't see the power of the resurrection stones. And I think it's time you both finally meet my mother."
"What? Do you..."
"...mean, by real, like it was..."
"...described in those books?"
"Is she really like..."
"...more than a ghost but less than..."
"...a real human being?"
"Yes. But you'll see yourself."
Again, I thought of my mother and concentrated on her. She appeared then.
"Hi mom! I thought it was about time for you three to meet. They are Fred and George, my first best friends, but of course you already know that. Fred, George, she's my mom."
"Pleasure to meet you, miss Potter"they chorused.
"Pleasure to meet you too boys. I've heard a lot about you two."
"Mom, Draco found out...somehow"
"Have you talked to him?"
"Not yet. The last time we were near each other was half an hour ago and I couldn't control my body."
"Well, you have to talk to him and tell him the whole truth"
"Ok then. I'll go and meet him. I'll have to do it anyway so..."
"Bye dear..." mom said as she disappeared.
"Hey, you already know what I feel and the other way around. Please meet me at the old tree near the lake in 20 minutes. I have more to tell you."
When I arrived, he was already there.
"Hi." I said.
"Hi."
"Look, I'm really sorry for not telling you, but there is more than you know. Sit down please. But you have to promise not to tell anyone ever. I know I can trust you."
"I promise. Thanks for trusting me."
And then I told him the whole story...
"...and I didn't want to tell you cause I grew up fearing that anyone would find out my secrets. I'm sorry..."
"It's ok, I understand. I'm sorry for pressing you to tell me."
"Consider yourself forgiven. But we have to keep everything secret. Aside from Fred, George, Madame Pomfrey, Severus, Dumbledore and Minnie, no one can find out. Ok?"
"Ok. But can I..."
"Yes, you can tell your mom. But only to her. Not even to your father."
" Of course not."
We headed back to our common rooms, careful not to be seen together and I started packing. There were only five days left of school, then we were going to the Weasleys. I was going to be surrounded by my friends, by a family...
It was going to be the most beautiful Christmas of my life.
