Chapter 21

Saturday morning at breakfast Harry received an owl from Rose "Go on to Hogsmead without me I will meet you there I am too busy right now. I will leave as soon as I can."

Harry frowned at the letter Rose had been excited to go to Hogsmead the night before he wondered what was keeping her. It wasn't Snape he was at the breakfast table looking like his usual cruel ugly self.

Rose looked into the boys eyes and said "If you tell anyone and I mean anyone I will deny it and then I will curse you and don't think I won't. Now wipe that stupid grin off your face this wasn't about you it was about me making a point."

Rose got up off her knees and left the room then went to the kitchen.

Hermione, Ron, Harry and Sirius were in the cave talking as Sirius ate the food they brought him.

Ron shouted "Malfoy!"

Rose appeared from the back of the cave carrying two large bags and said "Where? If that git followed me I am going to kill him."

Sirius chuckled and said "Rose at last we meet."

Rose said "I brought some things for you."

Sirius asked "How did you get in here?"

Rose put the bags down with a grunt and said "Did you really think the marauders knew all the secrets of Hogwarts. There is a secret passage in the back of this cave that leads into the school. But I wouldn't use it if I were you. Moody has the marauders map and he doesn't know about you being innocent plus the chance of getting caught is far too high. These two bags have things for you. This one is all food under preservation spells if you are careful there should be enough for a little over a month. This bag however I have been working on for some time. A couple changes of robes a couple pairs of shoes a nice warm cloak. Some personal hygiene items. and a variety of potions. These two use sparingly. They are Polyjuice potion you just need to add the last ingredient per each dose. I figured if you run out of anything you could use them and what is in this little bag to get anything you need." She handed him the little bag and it was filled with galleons.

He pulled her into a hug and said "Rose you are such a sweet girl. Thank you."

Rose smiled and said "your welcome now let me go you stink."

Sirius chuckled and said "sorry I haven't been able to bathe in a while."

Rose said "I understand and here I think you will like this."

Rose pulled out a bottle to Merlot and handed it to him.

Rose said "it is the real thing I got it in France."

Sirius took it and uncorked it and Rose handed him a glass and he poured himself a glass of the burgundy liquid.

Sirius swirled it then took a sip and closed his eyes and said "you blessed child it is like liquid heaven."

Rose said "I am glad you like it. Now I have to show you my babies."

Rose pulled out her folio "Mrs. Weasley promised to send me some new pictures soon. The quads will be two in May and Sly will be three in June."

Sirius looked at the babies smiling and said "this one looks just like James."

Rose said "that is Michael and that is Tobby. That is Eileen and Lily and that is Sly."

Sirius said "they are adorable who is their father."

Rose looked at Harry and asked "You didn't tell him?"

Harry said "Rose you don't know what Sirius is like and how he feels about him. Sirius is on the run from the law if he knew he would kill him, he would do everything I have dreamed about doing to him but he would get caught and either be sent back to Azkaban, killed or suffer the dementors kiss."

Rose said "Look I know they don't like each other but Sirius isn't stupid he knows the risks of what will happen if he gets caught."

Sirius said "Rose tell me who the father of your babies is."

Rose said "they have different fathers. I was sorted into Dovewing when I started school. Part of Dovewing lessons is reproductive magic there are magical items that are used to impregnate Dovewing students each one holds the genetic material of very powerful ancient blood lines. My reproductive professor while using the magical item got me pregnant during my first year almost right away I gave birth to a handsome healthy little boy that I named Sly, Silvester Albus Slytherin. The next year I was to be impregnated using the magical item of Godric Gryffindor but The minister put a stop to it and eventually closed Dovewing. But something happen no one could have predicted My professor and I fell in love and I became pregnant with his children we knew rather early on that this pregnancy was different and it was most likely that I was carrying multiples being a twin I was more likely for it but no one expected quads they were 7 1/2 weeks premature, small but healthy. He hasn't seen them since the day they were born. He knows how everyone in my life feels about him and he doesn't want to cause any trouble where the babies are concerned. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are taking care of my children while I go to school. Once I finish school it is going to be hard on everyone when I take them away and we are married."

Harry said "Oh hell no you are not marrying him."

Rose said "Harry I told you before this isn't any of your business. If I want to marry him and he wants to marry me then I will and they are my children they will go where I go."

Sirius grabbed her and said "who is it?"

Rose said "you aren't going to like it but Severus Snape is the father of the quads he claims Sly as his own too. But besides being there for their births he hasn't been in their lives."

Sirius shook his head and said "No this has to be some kind of sick joke. Snivellus if the father?"

Rose said "don't call him that. I love him and he loves me his name is Severus. He is a good man."

Sirius said "No he is not. He is a deatheater."

Rose said "that is not true. Maybe he was once but he turned to our side and became a spy. He isn't a deatheater now anymore then I am."

Sirius said "You have to end it Rose. You have to end it now. If your father where alive..."

Rose interrupted "well he is not and you are not my father Sirius as much you would like to be you are not my father and my father is dead. I am in love with Severus and he is in love with me."

Sirius asked "are you sure about that Rose. He was in love with your mother and you look just like her. and you are young and impressionable. No Rose he is not in love with you he is in love with the memory of Lily and he is using you. He is old enough to be your father and he is using your need for a father to manipulate you. I might not be your father Rose but I am your godfather and legal guardian and happened to be your fathers best friend and I am telling you break it off tonight as soon as you get back to the castle or I will make you."

Rose smirked and said "no you won't in order to make me do anything you will have to expose yourself. And what kind of help to Harry will that be."

Sirius said "Rose this is your last warning agree to break it off or I will march in to that school right now just as I am."

Rose yelled "You are being so stubborn."

Hermione said "so are you."

Ron said "we have been telling you for years Snape is no good."

Rose turned to him and said "You don't know anything about him."

Harry said "we know he is hateful and manipulative and he has you convinced he is nothing but an innocent lonely man who loves you. Rose think about it he is a grown man and he told you he is in love with you when you were only 11 years old that isn't love that is sick. You were just a baby. I saw the two of you in second year and what he was doing to you he was sexual aroused to a 12 year old. Even now you have grown up a lot since first year but you are still just a little girl it is not right Rose can't you see that."

Hermione said "Rose it is one thing for you to get pregnant for your Dovewing lessons by a professor but neither of you are supposed to fall in love and he isn't supposed to find you sexy so young, muggles have a word for men like that they are called pedophiles and it is a crime and they are arrested if they are caught. If he really does love you he would wait until after you turn 17 even that is super young."

Rose said "I am going now. I need to think about this. I will be back later. I am so confused now."

Rose left she wasn't at dinner and she hadn't returned to the cave before they left after dinner they couldn't find her anywhere in the castle.

Snape was worried when he found out Rose had not returned from her trip to Hogsmead.

It was very late at night early morning really when Sirius woke with a start.

Rose was standing over him he began to sit up but she embraced him he put his arms around her she said in a shakey voice "Sirius I can't do it, I don't have it in me to tell him it is over. But there is a part of me that knows it isn't right too. I don't know what to do."

Rose was now crying in Sirius's arms. Sirius said "don't cry Rose please. Listen to me."

She looked up at him and he said "you are the daughter of James and Lily Potter two of the bravest people in the whole world. I know it isn't easy but you need to be brave like they were you just go to him and tell him you can't be with him anymore. I know it hurts but you have to do this it is what is right it is what your parents would want. Now you need to get back to the school."

Rose dried her tears and said "you would have made a great father. Thank you for not being mad at me."

Sirius smiled and said "I understand that you are still young and that this is very confusing for you, he has told you nothing but lies to control you. I want you to be free of that."

Rose used the secret passage at the back of the cave to get back to the school. She was walking down the corridor headed to her dorm when Filtch found her. She didnt argue when he took her to see Dumbledore. The office was full of people when Filtch brought Rose in said "found her roaming the corridors."

Dumbledore said "thank you Argus you may go now."

Filtch left Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny were there as were the heads of houses, the heads of all of the schools and Moody.

McGonagall asked firmly "Miss Potter where have you been?"

Rose shook her head and said "you wouldn't understand it is a Dovewing thing."

Maxime said "I demand to know where you were."

Rose said "Alright but you aren't going to understand I have been speaking to Hogwarts it self."

Flitwick asked "you mean the castle, the building you were talking to."

Rose said "there is more to Hogwarts then just brick and mortor the very walls are absolutely dripping with stories if you know how to access them. I needed to learn a few things about someone Hogwarts helped me with that. Combined with my visions I have seen many things."

Rose turned to Snape "you were right it is too dangerous I will miss you. For what it is worth I do love you, but until the danger passes we can't be together. I will not put my children in danger for anyone."

Snape simply nodded only she could tell that he was hurt.

She turned to Harry and said "the time will soon come when you believe all are against you, no matter what it looks like I will always love you, I am your twin and that is something special."

Harry asked "any firm timeing about that."

Rose shrugged and said "it is visions you know. Nothing solid."

Harry nodded and said "Yeah but you know you don't have to do what you see Rose, you can change it."

Rose shook her head and said "there are somethings that must happen just as I have seen them or it will be destruction for all. We can't afford a full out war again our population is too small it will speed up our demise unless things are done just as I have seen. I don't expect anyone to understand this is the burden of a seer, none of you are seers."

Sprout said "no we are not but we are here to help you if you would just tell us what you have seen."

Rose shook her head again and said "it is too dangerous, I don't want to put any of you in danger more then nessissary."

Dumbledore said "it is late it is time to say goodnight but Rose don't go disapearing on us again."

Rose said "I will do what I can but I can't promise anything the Visions are unclear about it as yet."

Moody said "I will escort Miss Potter back to her carriage."

Maxime said "not nessissary I will be going too. Rose you must stay close you are after all just a small girl."

Rose said "Oiu Madam."
