"Come on Cho, I know he might be shocked but I doubt he'd hurt us." said
Ilya.
"Whatever mum. Now excuse me I have homework to do." snapped Cho.
Ilya sighed and got up from her spot at the bottom of the bed.
"Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes," said Ilya before she left the room.
Cho ignored her as she got up from the bed and opened her trunk.
Ilya apparated to the leaky cauldron and picked up a takeaway before returning home.
"Cho dinner's served." called Ilya up the stairs while putting the take away on plates.
Ilya watched as the plates for Cho rose and floated up the stairway.
Ilya sighed and took her plates in the lounge to watch TV.
She sat on the sofa and picked up the remote.
The TV turned on with a movie about a girl who found out her father was from prison.
Ilya sighed as she turned the channel, maybe it was a big shock for Cho after all but at least she knew the truth.
Cho sat on her bed and picked up the phone beside her bed.
While she ate her dinner she dialled her boyfriend Gabriel's number.
"Hello Gabriel here." came a cheery voice.
"Just a sec." said Cho dialling in his sister Gabrielle's number.
The twins' parents had divorced and they only saw each other at school.
Gabriel Sydney lived in Wales with his father and stepmother while Gabrielle Bondi lived in Ireland with her mother and her mother's boyfriend.
"Gabrielle here." came similar cheery voice.
"You called Wanona yet?" asked Cho putting a spoonful of rice in her mouth.
"Just a minute I'll patch her through," said Gabrielle.
Wanona Gardener lived in Leeds in West Yorkshire up north. She was a muggle- born witch and she wasn't as confident as the other three, but she still managed to keep up with them.
"Hi guys." said Wanona.
"So what's up Cho?" asked Gabriel turning up some music really loud and walking in to his own bathroom so his father wouldn't catch him.
"Yeah why do you sound so down?" asked Gabrielle sitting on her window seat looking out over the village.
"Guys me and my mother have had another argument." sighed Cho eating her last spoon of rice.
"About what?" asked Wanona pausing from doing her herbology homework.
"Well she told me who my father is and well it's not who I expected." said Cho charming the plates back down the stairs
"So who is he?" asked Gabrielle.
Cho hesitated.
"Come on it can't be that bad," said Gabriel sitting on the toilet cross- legged.
"First mum slept with him when she was sixteen and he left her the next morning." said Cho.
"What a jerk." said Wanona.
"Yeah." said Gabrielle.
"He hasn't spoken to her in fifteen years and doesn't even know I exist." said Cho puling out a potions book.
"Ohmigod." gasped Wanona.
"I think I know why," said Gabriel.
"Well?" asked Gabrielle.
"Some guys bet that he can sleep with a certain girl. It shows how popular they are with the ladies," said Gabriel.
"That is so cheep. You don't see girls doing that," said Cho.
"That's what your non-existent father did or the only explanation anyway," sighed Gabriel with a shrug.
"So who is he?" asked Wanona.
"Sirius Black." sighed Cho.
"Black? Ohmigod." said the twins at the same time.
"I know. Mum wants us to meet him and I'm not sure what to do." sighed Cho.
"Well I would meet him," said Wanona.
The other three fell silent.
"I mean he maybe a murderer and everything but he's still your father," said Wanona.
"I suppose your right," sighed Cho.
"Why don't the four of us have a sleep over next week and discuss it?" asked Gabrielle.
"That sounds good," said Wanona.
"Count me in," said Gabriel.
"I'll ask my mum if it can be here. You guys go ask your parents I'll just a sec," said Cho.
She put down the phone and went down stairs.
Ilya was sat on the sofa eating ice cream while watching a movie.
"Mum can Gabrielle, Gabriel and Wanona sleep over next week?" asked Cho.
Ilya nodded with out hesitating.
Cho walked back upstairs and picked up the phone from the bed.
"I can come," said Gabriel and Gabrielle at the same time.
"So can I," said Wanona.
"Mum agreed. So it's all set for Wednesday next week," said Cho
"Whatever mum. Now excuse me I have homework to do." snapped Cho.
Ilya sighed and got up from her spot at the bottom of the bed.
"Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes," said Ilya before she left the room.
