Chapter 6

That evening Rose went to see Dumbledore again This time Moody was with him.

Rose said "it looks like you are busy again I can come back tomorrow."

Dumbledore said "No Rose please come in you can trust Alistor."

Rose laughed and said "no."

Dumbledore said "Rose I assure you Alistor will not repeat anything you say."

Rose said "I am sorry professor but I will not reveal anything I know to that man."

Dumbledore said "he was in the room two years ago when you let us know what you knew."

Rose said "I hate to contradict you but no he wasn't. I will not say anymore while he is here."

Dumbledore said "Rose you were being stubborn and Alistor was there 2 years ago."

Rose said "I can't tell you what I mean without changing what I have seen. But I will not reveal what I know in front of this man."

Dumbledore really looked at Rose her body was tense and she had her wand out and kept looking side long at Moody. She had not said Alistor Moody or Mr. Moody or professor Moody or even Mad eye Moody hadn't been in the room two years ago she had said this man. Could it be possible the man standing in front of him was not his long time friend.

Rose said "bad things are about to happen but they must happen. The visions are clear about that. If I were to tell you certain things it would change what I have seen. I can only protect Harry if things remain how I have seen them. This man would take the information I reveal and change what I know then I would be just as blind as everyone else. I was given this gift for a reason. I believe that reason is to protect the ones I love. Harry is my twin I have to protect him if things change even the bad things I won't be able to protect Harry. So I will come back later when you are alone. Good night Professor and Goodnight sir."

Rose backed out of the office always keeping her eyes on "Moody" her wand in her hand.

Moody said "strange girl."

Dumbledore said "seer's always are. We can't really blame her she knows much more then we do and she is very tight lipped about what she shares. After all what she said is true revealing what she knows to people who would take action about that knowledge changes what she knows. And her brother is very important to her. It took a lot of convincing for her to reveal what she knew about the chamber of secret a few years ago of course once we put that knowledge to action it changed what she knew. Now she claims to know Voldemort is going to return but that it is necessary for good things to happen in the long run. She unfortunately will not tell us any details. I was hoping she would tell me but she clearly wants no one else to know."

Moody said "Maybe I should talk with her alone I could convince her to reveal what she knows."

Dumbledore said "No Rose is a very special girl I believe she will tell me when the time is right."

Moody said "if it is about the dark lord returning then time is of the essence. We could stop him before he returns or at the very least find out who is helping him and when exactly it is he is supposed to return. My methods of persuasion never fail."

Dumbledore said "I know that but I don't want her hurt."

Moody flicked his tongue and Dumbledore frowned it seemed to be a new twitch of his the past few months.

Moody pulled out his flask and took a swallow then put the flask back in his pocket.

Rose was in the library that afternoon when Moody approached her and said "Miss Potter I need to speak to you in my office."

Rose looked around and quietly said "No. I will not be alone with you. I know who you are. I know what you are doing but I am not going to stop you. What you are planning has to happen. They have to face each other. If Harry is ever going to be ready he has to know what he is really facing."

Moody said "You are assuming much if you think he is going to escape to face him again."

Rose said "I know and I know it is mostly luck that he gets away but that is how I have seen it. I wish it didn't have to happen but from what I have seen it does. They have to meet so Harry will know what he has to face. It is the only way he can face his death without being afraid. I don't want him to be afraid when the time comes. He is my brother my twin I don't want him to have to go through any of it. I wish I could just take him away somewhere and he could have a happy long life but that is not his destiny it probably isn't any of ours. That kind of life only exists in fantasy. Everyone is happy and healthy and no one gets hurt or dies before their time. It is a lovely dream but it doesn't really exist. Life is pain and that is the truth and unless we can accept it we will never be happy. Now please go I have studying to do."

Moody asked disbelieving "you really aren't going to tell?"

Rose said "Yes as long as you do not directly hurt Harry personally then I won't tell. I will do nothing to alter your plan. As long as you don't hurt him. I know this all sounds strange considering what your plan is going to lead to but I have learned not to alter with what I see it only makes things worse. It is probably selfish but I believe when he comes back unlike so many now and in the recent past he won't keep me and Severus apart. I know the truth about him, I have known for a long time but I don't tell because I love him more then anything and I know someday we will be able to be together again. I know people will hate me. My own family and friends even but you know I would do anything for love. And I love Severus. I love our children they are beautiful babies and look so much like us. They are amazing. I believe I am starting to ramble but you have nothing to fear from me. I will keep what I know quite in hopes my brother can face his death like a man. Like someone our parents could be proud of."

Moody shook his head and said "You are a strange girl. You don't show any outward signs of sharing our beliefs about blood purity or a desire for power. You know who I am and the plans I have involving your brother but you are not going to tell anyone or do anything to stop it. I don't believe I understand you."

Rose said "would you prefer I told Dumbledore everything I know. It would change everything I have seen but it would mean either death or Azkaban for you, Pettigrew and him. Your plan would be ruined, his plan would be ruined really but someone so powerful even in the state he is in now Azkaban would not be able to hold him for long but it could delay his return for years maybe even decades. I however have learned for every good thing that happens by revealing what I have seen at least ten bad things result from it. So you have nothing to fear from me I am no threat to you. It is true I have no desire for power and I think blood purity is stupid but I also believe people are entitled to their own beliefs. I find blood purity stupid you probably find my lack of blood purity also stupid. We all have the right to believe what we want. I am against people shoving their believes down other peoples throats. Severus Snape and I are in love we have 5 children together but we are both half blood. Neither of us are corrupting any pureblood lines that weren't alright corrupted by our own births. My mother was muggle born and his father was a muggle but his mother and my father were both pureblood. Neither he or I know why his mother who was of the sacred 28 ended up marrying a muggle they never showed any love between each other. It certainly wasn't for money. He was just an average lower middle class guy it wasn't for looks while you wouldn't go as far as saying they were ugly they weren't terribly attractive either I suppose it is a mystery that died with them but Severus has no love for his father he wasn't the best father or husband hardly a good example for Severus. His mother was loving and caring he gets that from her but he is also very powerful and calm and collected and can be viciously protective when he wants to be. In fact with most people he can be cold and even cruel I know he is with my brother. Look I need to go I have somewhere to be. Let your boss know about me if you want but you don't have to. Once he returns Severus will tell him. I am sure you have noticed he is still here right where he was ordered to be still loyal and ready to serve when the time comes."

Rose grabbed her things and left the library. Moody looked after her as she left then said "such a strange girl."

It was clear she cared about her brother loved him and didn't want him to have to be hurt and die but she wasn't going to do anything to stop it from happening even though she knew exactly how it was going to happen and who he really was and where the Dark lord and his servant was. She was in love with Severus Snape and had 5 children with him and she was convinced he was still a loyal deatheater. He wasn't so sure about that but it was true he was still here where the dark lord had ordered him to be. He was going to report all of this as soon as he could. He certainly hoped he didn't have to kill the girl as strange as she was and as much of a potential threat that she was he liked her. She certainly had what it took to make the hard decisions. Furthermore her gift could be of use to the dark lord. If she would only reveal what she knew.
