Innocent Eyes
A/N: Ooooh! 4th chappie! I need some reviews, I know it isn't great at the moment but I promise it's going to get better! Remember.'All good things come to those who wait!' famous quote!
By the way we've established that Linda IS Morganna's adoptive mother okay. Morganna is called Morgan for short, I hope that clears up any problems if you had any before.

'This is so boring', Morgan thought as she looked at the empty road ahead, 'I would probably actually prefer to spend a few hours alone with Crystal Lynstath than this'. She didn't know any better, her mother had kept the visit to Hogwarts a secret and decided it would be better explaining it there with the others than on her own. Linda looked at Morgan, she felt sorry for her, the poor girl had been living a lie and she wasn't entirely sure that Morgan would be able to handle it all. Sure, Morgan was a strong minded person, stronger than herself but heck, this was a very big thing to take in, no matter how strong you were mentally.
She pushed her foot on the acceleration pedal and they began to gain speed. 'We'll be there soon and then you'll loose her, is that what you want? She'll probably never speak to you again for protecting her, do you really want that?' Linda thought hard, she didn't want to do it inside but she felt Morgan had a right to her own past.
The platinum blonde finally sat upright as they approached a huge castle, "what is that place?" she asked curiously. Linda gulped and looked at the tall castle standing proudly, she knew only those with magical blood could see it.
"That is where we are going," she forced a smile and watched Morgan sink back into her seat, resting her feet on the dashboard in front of her. They pulled up at the giant gates and took the rather uphill walk to the castle. Morgan complained but Linda thought nothing of it and carried on walking.
"******
"We made it!" Morgan cried happily, "I don't think I've ever managed to walk a hill like that before, now mum are you going to explain what this is all about, we are here after all."
"Ah, Linda and Morganna I do believe," a warm voice suddenly said from behind Morgan. Morgan twirled around to see an oddly dressed man, Linda seemed to be in shock as well as she was practically gawping at the sight. Morgan decided to try mouthing at her mother but she couldn't quite get her attention so instead she just decided to try and confront the old man before her.
"Who are you old man and how come you know my name?" Morgan asked confidently. The man smiled and his blue eyes gave off a small twinkle.
"Morgan, watch what you say!" Linda said suddenly even though she was still looking at Albus Dumbledore who slowly turned to face her. 'Why did he dress in the old robes and magic hat, I knew this wasn't a good move, why oh why please dear Merlin, why!' she thought. Morgan stared at the two people in front of her, until a hand tapped her on the shoulder and she turned to face a tall man.
He had cold black eyes that could pierce anyone they set their sight on, his dark, greasy hair reached just above shoulder length and he was dressed in black, black robes. Morgan shook her head, 'why are these funny people wearing robes? It's not like it's the 16th century or anything, perhaps there's a fancy dress party or something going on and we're invited but there's one problem..why aren't we dressed for the occasion!' She looked at her mum, who was now facing the ground, shaking madly.
"Morganna, my name is Severus Snape, this is Albus Dumbledore, I believe there is a lot to explain and you will have a lot of questions I'm sure and this would be much easier If we took this inside, please follow me."
'Oh no,' Morgan thought as she followed the tall man, 'mum is sending me to a boarding school, this is so unfair, she didn't even tell me, she will pay!' Morgan glared at her mother who was focused on the ground as she moved along behind Dumbledore. 'I don't think I'm going to like this one bit.'

Morgan had never seen such a grand place, it was out of one of her dream's, she was sure, the corridors seemed familiar as they passed through and ended up inside Dumbledore's large office.
"Please take a seat, both of you," Dumbledore began and he positioned himself the other side with Snape. All four were now sitting around the desk.
"I have a question, just something freaky happened while we were out there, there was a picture of a man out there and I know this sounds insane but he said something to me and I know you may think that I'm lying and.." Morgan said but was interrupted.
"All will be explained," Dumbledore said, "in good time Morganna." Morgan scowled, her full name was like an insult to her, she hated it when people called her 'Morganna'.
"Morganna, we should have told you this a long time ago but we thought better of it and tried to keep you away from our world. You see you are of magical blood, you have the genes of a witch in fact you are a witch Morganna, just with a bit of training and witchcraft/wizardry education then you should turn out to be a very fine witch."
Morganna burst out into laughter, "a witch!" she cackled, "a fine witch! I'm sorry to break this to you but there are no witches, wizards, goblins or fairies, it's a load of old nonsense, just a children's story book."
"No," her mum now spoke, Linda had managed to get enough courage to speak, "it isn't nonsense Morgan, it's real and it's true, you know inside yourself it's true because it's in you too."
Morgan rolled her eyes, "oh mum not you as well, I always knew you were close to loosing it but come on, your not going to believe these people are you?" Then Morgan stopped and looked at all three of the people around her." Wait a minute, I see what your all trying to do, you want to play a nasty trick so that I get sent to a mental home or something, just because, because of Crystal Lynstath!" Morgan yelled angrily and got up, she was going to run for it, there was no way they were going to take her whole life away so she could spend it in 'Manfield's Institute' (a/n: Manfield's is a fictional mental home!) She pegged it as fast as she could towards the door but somehow the door managed to shut itself, she pulled at the handle with a forceful grip, "open you stupid thing, open!" she shouted at the door, kicking it from rage.
"Morganna, please sit down," Dumbledore asked sensibly, Morgan ignored him.
"No, you inconsiderate bastard!" she yelled and stopped kicking the door to face him. Linda ran forwards.
"Morganna! What have I told you about that use of filthy language? It is unacceptable, I never want to hear you use that word again especially when speaking to an adult."
Morganna spotted a stick in the old man's hand; she lunged forwards and grabbed it suddenly. Dumbledore however seemed quite pleased that Morgan had retrieved his wand. Linda was frowning, she moved forwards towards Morgan. Snape just stood there with his arms crossed.
"So, you have a whole act going on here," Morgan sighed looking at the wand, "you even bothered to make little wands too! This is so pathetic, my own mother wants to be rid of me too," she flicked the wand suddenly in her hand pointing it towards Linda when suddenly a jet of purple materialized and Linda ducked out of the way.
"What the?" Morgan said and she passed out cold, dropping the wand on the floor as she fell.
"********
Morgan woke up, she was lying in a comfortable bed in an unknown surrounding, her mum was sitting beside her, watching her. Morgan sat up abruptly and looked at her mother. It took Morgan a minute to realize what had happened for her to end up in a place you could say sort of looked like a hospital.
"How come you never told me all of this before?" she asked softly, remembering, Linda smiled slowly.
"I didn't tell you because I never thought you were truly ready to know until now," Linda lied and clutched Morgan's hand gently. She had lied because Dumbledore had told her it would be too dangerous if Lucius Malfoy knew his daughter was in Hogwarts. Lucius had entrusted Snape to get rid of Morgan when the wizard care workers had rejected his form, they could see through forced signatures too, those places were so clever! Lucius believed that Morgan had gone to a muggle home where she would never know of her magical heritage or him, Narcissa and Draco. He didn't want to kill her, he just wanted to be rid of her. However naturally, Dumbledore knew of the plans and didn't want to deny Morgan of her magical abilities (until she was ready to understand them) and thought it would be best for her to live with a pure blood couple, who better than Mark and Linda! (A/N: Mark is infertile) So Snape had taken the baby Morgan to the couple's home where they accepted to care for her and love her as their own. The couple though had to become more muggle like incase Lucius ever did find out though.
"So, what do I do now? Go to magic school?" Morgan asked sarcastically and pretended her arm was a wand, waving it around stupidly.
"Something like that," Linda answered a bit more truthfully this time. Morgan looked at her in disbelief, but then Dumbledore had arrived and Morgan sunk low into her bed, feeling guilty about her previous actions towards the man from the day before.
"Hello Morganna," he said in a cheerful manner and sat himself at the end of her bed. A tinge of rose began to fill her pale cheeks.
"Hi Sir," she said in a polite manner. He smiled, the twinkle of his eye once again shining and he pushed his half - moon glasses up to the bridge of his nose before clasping his hands together and placing them on his lap.
"You are feeling better I presume after yesterday's little incident?" he asked curiously and she replied with a curt nod.
" For curiosity Morganna, do you happen to believe anything of your magical heritage?" Dumbledore inquired. Morgan looked at the old man before her and for once thought if she did believe it then perhaps it would make up for her poor manners from yesterday.
"There are a few things I believe in life, magic was never one of them," Morgan stated, "but when I see something with my own eyes that even I didn't believe then yes it does change my outlook on that particular thing and now for once I can say I do believe some aspects of magic, I would appreciate it however if you didn't repeat what I just said to anyone else because I would probably never be able to live again!" she smiled and took a deep breath. Dumbledore chuckled. 'YES!' she thought, 'you managed to word that perfectly and I think you may have got back into the good books, now you can say what you like - magic or no magic'.
"Right then," Dumbledore said getting up, "Welcome to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Morganna you will be joining us to learn advanced magical skills and expand your abilities, oh and before I forget, this is the Hospital Wing, usually people who are ill or have had accidents come here, you being one of them!" he added merrily.
"But!" Morgan groaned, "I have to go to magic school?" Dumbledore chuckled lightly.
"Of course Morganna!" he smiled, "you will be ready to start on Monday I believe, Linda you will help her get settled in, must be off - staff meeting to attend to, before I go, I didn't introduce myself, I'm Albus Dumbledore - Headmaster of Hogwarts!" he said quickly and began to leave towards the door.
"Yeah, and you never told me how you knew my name either!" Morgan shouted after him from the warmth of her bed.
