The two sat down opposite each other.
"Cho I've never told you about who your father is. I thought at the time, I was protecting you but now I realise it was wrong of me," explained Ilya.
"What are you talking about?" asked Cho resting her hands on the table in front of her.
"When I was sixteen I was in love with the most handsome guy ever. He seemed to like me too. Then we slept together and when I woke up the next day he was gone. I never heard from him again," said Ilya.
"What a wuss!" exclaimed Cho.
"Now don't be so hard on him. I bet he had a perfectly good explanation." assured Ilya.
"How can you protect him? After how he used you," yelled Cho getting to her feet.
"Calm down Cho!" said ilya, "I didn't expect you to be happy about this but the least you do is let me tell you who he is."
Cho shook her head in silent disbelief as she ran up to her room.
Ilya sighed and summoned the telephone with a charm.
She dialled a number and waited til it was picked up.
"Hello?" asked the voice.
"Remus its Ilya. Could we talk?" asked Ilya.
"What's wrong?" asked Remus.
Ilya heard cho's bedroom door bang above her and cringed.
"Can't we just meet up sometime tomorrow? It's important," asked Ilya," how about I see you at the Three Broomsticks tomorrow?"
"See you then," said Remus.
Ilya hung up and walked up to cho's room.
She banged on the door and walked in to see Cho laid on her bed crying into her pillow.
"Cho baby its OK," whispered Ilya approaching her.
"Just go away mum," sobbed Cho looking at her mother through a curtain of ebony hair.
"Cho listen. You have to know who your father is," whined Ilya.
Cho sat up and looked up at her mother with blood shot eyes and pieces of her hair stuck to her tear streaked cheeks.
Ilya wiped away the pieces of hair and put them behind her ears.
"Cho. his name is Sirius Black." said Ilya.
"Sirius Black? You mean as in Sirius Black the murderer?" asked Cho.
"Yes but we haven't been in contact for years. He doesn't even know about you yet," said Ilya stroking her daughter's cheeks.
"So I'm a bastard?" asked Cho.
"In a way dear. But listen I want you to meet him. He'll love you," said Ilya.
"But mum he's an escaped convict from Azcaban for Christs sake. He'll kill us!" exclaimed Cho.
"No he won't I don't believe Sirius would kill anyone." assured Ilya.
"I don't believe this I'm a bastard of an escaped con from Azcaban and you just expect him to welcome us with open arms?" exclaimed Cho
