~Chapter Seven- Past~
"A WIZARD?" Arthur nearly spat out his cup of coffee.
"Who's a wizard?" Fred entered the small kitchen. Followed shortly by George.
"Don't worry," Ron muttered.
"No, tell me." George pushed back Fred and stepped in front of his brother, "at least we know you're not one."
"Boys," Arthur began, "please leave this room for a while, I need to.erm.talk with Ron."
"Sure dad," Fred and George left the room, smirking.
After they were gone, Arthur folded up his copy of the Daily Telegraph (he was now reading muggle newspapers to the annoyance of Mrs. Weasley) and gulped down the rest of his coffee.
"Now, what were you saying?" Arthur asked.
"Well, you know how you cast that Invisibility Shield on the shed?" Ron asked.
"Yes." Arthur continued drinking.
'Well, Justin said he could see the stuff inside," Ron said.
Arthur spat out a mouthful of coffee.
~*~
"But how can he be a wizard dad?" Ron asked, they were hurrying down to the Wattles once again." I mean his dad doesn't even know you're a wizard."
"His dad is a liar," was all that Arthur said.
"Okay," Ron said, "that is a good enough explanation. Does that mean his dad is a wizard?"
"Not necessarily."
"What do you mean?"
Arthur stopped at the red light and looked at Ron. His eyes searching into his, he pushed back his hat.
'Do we know everything there is to know about them?" Arthur asked.
"Eer, no," Ron was confused.
"We need to know the real story," Arthur said, "and this time we're going to talk to his dad."
~*~
"Oh hello Arnold," Mr. Wattle smiled at them all.
"Yes, hello," Arthur said, sounding suspiciously like a threat.
"What brings you here?" Mr. Wattle asked.
"We need answers," Arthur said, making his way into the house, "answers you have."
"Me?"
"Yes you. Do you know who we are?"
"No. Not really."
"We are wizards okay and your son is one too." Arthur said simply.
"What?"
"Don't pretend you don't know about us," Ron said, he felt like he was doing nothing and wanted to say something.
"Okay, okay, I admit, I do know all about you, just don't kill me," Mr. Wattle said.
~*~
Mr. Wattle sat at the desk. His hands were sweating. He eyed Arthur and Ron, sitting on opposite ends of the table to him. He eyed Justin, sitting next to him, he has been through enough, he thought, I have to tell him now.
~*~
Ron looked around. There was complete silence. He could feel tenseness in the air. He could feel Mr. Wattle hiding something. Something he wasn't telling. He sighed and relaxed. This was going to be a long day.
~*~
"Dad," Justin's voice finally broke the silence.
"Hmm."
"Please, what is it?"
'First of all, I'm not you dad."
~*~
Emotional baggage, that was the only feeling in Justin's head at the moment. He mainly discovered his whole childhood today. Everything he knew was all a lie. Nothing was real anymore. No one could be trusted.
Finding out your dad who has been with you all those years, is not your real dad, that is emotional baggage.
Finding out that your mum is in fact a wizard, that's emotional baggage. Finding out that your mum is still out there somewhere, but your dad gone, that's emotional baggage.
He tossed in his bed, outside his window the cars went by.
Being a wizard, he didn't know how to feel, at least it explains a lot pf peculiar things that had happened to him in his life, but it also left gaps for questions, like how come he never went to Hogwarts? Mr. Wattle or who ever said that after his father's death, his mother has always been on the run.
It seems that Voldemort was after his mum, but his dad, who didn't know about her being a witch, was the victim in the end. After that his mother left him to her brother, also a wizard, and told him not to let him go to Hogwarts. She said shes couldn't bear to do anything with wizards anymore.
All these secrets revealed in one night, this was too much for him.
He turned off the bedside table and slept.
