Chapter Two-A Revieled Secret

Arella hugged her godmother then smiled brightly. "Thank you so much, mum!" She said. Lyndell smiled for a moment, then her expression changed. "I'll send them a letter in a little while, But now, I have something I must tell you. Please, Arella sit down." She said. Arella looked at Lyndell oddly for a moment, then sat down on a sofa that was across from her. "What is it mum?" She asked. Lyndell sat down, then looked to her goddaughter. "Arella, dear, I am not your original mother." She said with a slight frown on her face. Arella gasped. "What do you mean, mum? I've known you all of my life, you've got to be my mother." She said. "No, sweety, I'm not your mother. Your mother, and father died a long time ago." She said calmly. "In a war against the Dark Lord." She said. "Your parents were very skillful witches, just like yourself. There's something else you must know, as well." She said. Arella looked to her aghasted. "You have a brother. He's only a year younger than you are. He goes to the school you will be going to. I have been hiding you from the Dark Lord, ever since your mother made me swear to secracy." All of this information just seeped into Arella, like melting ice. Arella continously tried to think of any possible explantion. But the only one that came to mind, was that she was indeed, telling the truth. That would definately explain all the strange dreams she's been having. "What's my brother's name." Arella asked. Lyndell grinned. "Harry Potter." She said. Arella gasped. "You don't mean *the* Harry Potter, do you?" She asked. Lyndell nodded. "WOW!!! MY LITTLE BROTHER IS FAMOUS!!!" Arella exclaimed. "Well even though I am not your real mom, I am though, your godmother, and Lilly made sure that I took good care of you." She said. "Let's go to Diagon Alley and get your supplies." Lyndell said. "But first I'll write them and tell them we are going." She said. Arella blinked. "What do you mean...we?" Arella asked. "As in you and I? I'm going to be working there this year." She said with a smile. "Alright! Then you can help me out and stuff. Lets go to Diagon Alley!" Arella said with a bright smile, and a twinkle in her eye. "To Diagon Alley!" Lyndell replied.
