Unexpected Discoveries
Darian had been happily walking down the hallway chatting with housemate Rainar von Pinn when she was literally tackled by a very excited Isis.
Darian and Rainar walked around a corner to find themselves face to face with Isis. Isis grabbed Darian by the arm and shoved her in the direction of the eating hall.
"We have to talk", Isis gasped in between heavy breaths for air.
Darian could only mutely nod at Isis before being led away. Rainar called after them both, "I'll see you later". Darian raised her hand in mute acknowledgment and continued to follow Isis.
They entered into a full and very noisy eating hall where most of the students both new and old had already taken their seats and were happily eating.
Isis and Darian sat down at a table that was not occupied as of that moment and immediately full plates materialized before them on the table. Darian looked hungrily at her plate before grabbing her silverware and diving into it. Isis was too busy still catching her breath to even notice her food.
Between mouthfuls of egg Darian remarked, "It's called breathing, you don't have to struggle. Last time a checked it was an involuntary response."
Isis grinned at her sister as she started to eat her own breakfast. "You would not believe the night that I had."
Darian looked at her sister with curiosity. "Well"
Isis looked at her sister and began to talk to her telepathically. She retold the previous nights events in great detail.
"So that's what that pain was." Darian rubbed her still sore temples. "Hope you told him not to do that again, my head still hurts, I could barely even sleep."
"I know I hardly slept at all," said Isis as she played with the food on her plate.
"I wonder what complications he was talking about." Darian said as she continued eating.
"He was extremely surprised to find us here, which we already knew and he is happy to see us."
Darian stared at her sister, "Why doesn't he want anyone to know that we're his daughters, a lot of professors have kids here, why are we so different."
"He wouldn't say, he only said that we are an exception, that problems could arise if it is found out, and I for one do not want to be transferred."
"Unlike a certain, jackass by the name of Bastian Ravenseye", smirked Darian.
"Now girls, watch your language," replied a male voice in both of their heads.
Both girls spit out the eggs that they were eating. They stared at each other in disbelief before looking around to see who had said that. The reason that they were so in shock is that they had spent a great deal of time and energy to hone their skills of telepathy. This included the power that no one could intercept their conversations.
They looked up at the head table and saw Severus Snape sitting there with a slightly amused look on his face.
"My dear daughters, please don't sit there with your mouths open, it is quiet rude", he coyly replied
He was met by unison, "Dad, get out of our minds." He grinned even wider and looked to another professor before starting a conversation. "Just consider it paybacks, my dears."
Darian looked to her sister, "Paybacks, what in the hel…heck is he talking about."
Isis would have answered her sister had not Minya Greenoaken sat down at the table.
"Good morning, girls", she said brightly. "Isis, you must have been up early, I didn't see you this morning."
Isis smiled at her brightly, "I'm a morning person", she hoping to get this particular conversation dropped and dropped quickly.
Darian grinned at Isis chuckling a little, "You, a morning person, yeah right".
Isis gave Darian a death look and kicked her, hard, under the table. "Unlike some people I understand that an immense amount of studying can be done in the early hours of the day".
"I.E. you have no social life and therefore can go to bed early to be able to rise before dawn."
Isis and Darian stared at each other for a minute before Darian stuck her tongue out at Isis.
Isis shook her head in exasperation, "Child", she muttered with a grin.
"By one minute," coyly replied Darian.
"Seems like a year." Isis whispered to Minya. As she did, Darian took the opportunity to steal a piece of bacon off of her sister's plate.
"Hey! That's mine! Keep your grubby little hands off my food."
"You want it back!" Darian opened up her mouth to offer Isis the half chewed pork product.
"That's disgusting!"
"Your loss." Darian said as she sneaked another piece of bacon off her sister's plate.
With this, all three girls laughed and began a conversation of the classes that they would be taking and who were in which class with which professor. Despite this light conversation, Darian and Isis continued their telepathy on the events of the previous evening and what Snape could have meant with his worry of people finding out their relationship to him.
They were still talking about this when the bell rang and they separated for the rest of the morning. They would see each other again later that day in Potions and Alchemy for Beginners.
What the girls did not know, however, is that they were being watched and despite their careful nature and that of their father, someone knew. This someone knew and would bide their time, for now, at least.
