A/N: This is the explanation for last chapter, will carry on story chapter 23

Miss Bolovnik



I think I had better come clean to you, as I had to to them all those years ago. I told you at the beginning of my tale that my father was a wizard and he died when I was very young, and my mother took me back to Romania to bring me up, yes? Well, I am afraid I had to tell you that so you would see things the way they were seen by Severus, Lily and Edward.

It was, or rather is, infact the other way around. My mother died giving birth to me, and it was she who was the witch, and it was she who had the name Montague. My father is the vampire of the family. Count Pyietek (pronounced p-yay-tek) Bolovnik of Maramures, the region to the northwest of Transilvania.

He and Dumbledore agreed that it would be safest for me to go by a British name and not to mention that it infact was my father who was the vampire to anyone. The Bolovnik Family name is famous throughout Romania, and is known by most in Britain, too. If anyone were to know that I were Lady Rene Bolovnik, daughter and heiress of Count Pyietek Bolovnik and Countess Vada Montague, I'd be known as a vampire, and probably lynched, but as Rene Montague, daughter of Peter Montague, I wouldn't be given a second glance.

I hope you may forgive me for my "little white lie".
