Painful memories

          "When I was seventeen, mortally, I lived with my family and we traveled around a lot. My family stopped to visit my uncle in Scotland and this is where it all started. I use to visit my Uncle Farfren a lot and I grew to know three other boys that lived near my Uncle. Their names are: Binx, Galileo and Jak. That morning when it all happened, I was arguing with my parents about my little sister Sarah, I was tired of always being blamed for her misactions, I was sick of taking care of her, of watching her of always having to keep my eye on their child. Finally the argument turned to my grades I was getting from the schools I attended. I tried to tell them that it isn't exactly easy to attend school when I am changing schools every week or so, but this was no excuse. They said I was being immature and selfish I got so mad… I left…"

~*FLASHBACK*~

          "Why don't you just run away Degas?"

          "Yeah, you can come live with me."

          "But you live right down the lane from my Uncle Jak, you too Binx, I can't exactly do that now can I?"

          "I know! Go to Hogwarts!" Galileo said.

          "People who go there have to be certified by the house keepers don't they?" Degas asked.

          "Yeah, right, I forgot." Galileo scratched his head.

          "You can always run away to America."

          "Not much there Jak ol' chap. Just a bunch of Yankees who don't know what it means to have a bit o' fun now."

          Degas laughed. "You guys are the best medicine for bad mood."

          The three boys bowed. "Thank you."

          "Why don't we go down to the lake for a swim? It is a bloody hot day and I can use the cooling down." Degas suggested and they ran out.

          They swam for hours then finally decided it was time to head home.

          "We'll walk you home, you know, back you up if your parent go off." Jak said.

          "Naw, it's okay you guys, you can head home."

          "All right! Dinner here I come!" Binx jumped but run off. "Uh, on second thought I think that I'll hang with you for a while. The house is rather empty with my parents on vacation to Bora-Bora."

          Everyone laughed. As they neared Degas's Uncle's home they heard an awful scream of sheer agony. They looked at each other and ran for the house. A brilliant green light filled the air and Uncle Farfren ran from the house only to be hit with the same green light. Degas screamed and tried to run to her family but the boys pulled her back and into someone's garden. They looked around but the street was completely empty.

          "We have to do something! That's my family!"

          "Degas! That light is the light given off when the Avada Kedavra curse is preformed. If your family… your family…" Jak widened his eyes and looked around the corner and gasped. "Something is coming our way!"

          They all pulled out their wands, Degas, full of pure rage stood in front of them all. The stranger walked around the corner, there was a brilliant flash of blue light and they all passed out.

~*END FLASHBACK*~

          "When we awoke we were all lying in front of my Uncle's fireplace. There was scroll in my hand; I read it aloud for them. I remember it like it was yesterday…"

~*FLASHBACK*~

          " 'Explorers:

                    Welcome! Welcome to your new life as immortal children! I was going to kill you three but I thought, a better curse would be a curse not of death… no, but of life! You will forever be as you are now! You are in a time rift of your very own. Nothing will ever get you out of there, for once you are in, there is no going back. Have a nice life…

                                                                   ???'"

          "Shit!" Binx cursed. "This isn't good!"

          Jak looked down and saw a copy of the Daily Prophet. "Hey, look at this. 'Murderer running loose in Scotland and England… already killed the Oso family and three close friends… no information whatsoever about this murderer.' This is seriously not good!"

          The three friends starred at each other. The silence seemed the only friend they had left.

~*END OF FLASHBACK*~

          "Forever looking like this… forever seventeen." Degas sighed. "We had no idea what to do with our lives. We were dead. So we took as much money as we could get from my parent's home and account and we left. We set off to start a new immortal life. It was hard, but we got use to it, we out ourselves to learn things. And at the top of the list was becoming a full blood Morph. Now, what drew me to these guys in the first place was weird feeling I got around them. All three of us had in our blood the Morph virus. Morphs are an extinct race now but they use to be a race of people who could change into anything at their will. Like animagi but they could change into any animal they were not limited to just one transformation. When the last person of that race died he sent his soul out into time. In its travels it broke into four pieces. And we were the ones to get his soul, so we met and in out immortal beginnings we dedicated ourselves to become full-blooded Morphs. This took extensive practice; let me tell you that, it took us a full ten years before we had it all down. Of course we took our sweet time doing it.

          "But after the first fifty years we were growing insane and we tried to kill each other and ourselves. But nothing worked. We tried the curses, the stabbing the shooting with muggle guns but nothing worked! We even took daggers to our wrists and tried to bleed to death but all that did was leave horrific scars and not much else. So we gave up. We went our separate ways helping each other when one of us asked for help. We've been this way forever now. I've made so many friends, most of them vampires. It is funny… and pathetic when you think about it. But it is life now… what is one suppose to do?"    

          Hermione sighed. "Degas, I could have never guessed. I'm… I'm truly sorry for everything. Where did you and your friends live?"

          Degas shrugged. "We lived in a place called San Marida. But listen. When I was in America I heard some news that was very difficult to swallow. In the muggle world they have this process where a human embryo can be removed from a woman and frozen and then later thawed out, placed into another woman and a baby can be born. The term for this I am not sure, but it has happened to an embryo that should have never been created."

          "What?"

          "Voldermort… has a child. He never knew about it. His girlfriend was pregnant but she was killed and the doctors took the embryo out and froze it, but only for a little while. They put it in a ready other and she gave birth to a baby girl. And this girl is now here at Hogwarts and she is after Harry Potter that is why I am here. I promised one of my dear friends that I would take care of her son if anything should happen to him that his godfather does not know about. And I am pretty sure that Sirius does not know about this. I went to school with the Marauders it was very fun, very appealing, though I always knew there was something terrible wrong with that Peter guy, a rotten apple."

          "Voldermort has a daughter? Who is it?"

          "Uutte."
