The Revealment-part 2.
Chapter 4.
The four unknown figures stood where they stand, not moving an inch. Bellatrics was getting irritated by the silence. "Who are you?" she repeated herself. "Do I know you?" she asked.
"No." The figure in the lead spoke. Harry notice that it was a voice of a female. Her voice was calm, but yet Harry could hear anger in it. "But you knew my father." She spoke again.
"Your father?" Bellastrics ask her voice revealing her confusion.
"Because of you and your worthless leader, I never got to know my father. Because of him, I was separated from my father for 15 years, because of him, my father was sent to Azkaban for something he did not do and because of you, he is dead." Her voice on the verge of rage. With all that she had said, something occurred in Harry's mind, but he could not think it was possible.
"Who are you?" Bellastric bellowed.
"My name is Jasmine........Jasmine Black. Daughter of Sirius Black and I will kill you on revenge on my fathers death if that's the last thing I'll do." She pointed her wand at the person who murdered her father as she pulled her hood down, anger in her eyes, the same expression Sirius had when he was angry, Harry noticed. Jasmine's appearance didn't look anything like Sirius. She had long black hair that came up to her waist, her complexion was tanned and her eyes, the deepest shade of brown. As Harry looked at her, there was no trace of Sirius in her, but Harry has seen her before, but where?
As Jasmine took her hood down, her three companions followed suit. The tallest out of the four had light strawberry colored hair that fell to her shoulders, her complexion rather pale, her appearance Hermione noticed, looked oddly familiar. The girl next to her who was slightly shorter than Jasmine, who had a rather round face with a brunet hair color that fell a bit below her shoulders, and the last girl that was standing behind them was the shortest out of the four with short black hair.
Bellatrics eyes widen as she tried to process what Jasmine had said. "No, you can't be." She said softly, shaking her head in disbelief. "You can't be, your dead. Sirius killed you him self." She bellowed.
"That's what you think." Jasmine said. "Like I said Bellastric, get the hell away from Harry and I would advice you and your worthless death eaters to get the hell away from here if you know what's good for you," Jasmine said through clenched teeth.
"Why you................" Bellatrics yelled. She was about to summon a spell, but Jasmine was too quick for her and stunned Bellastric with the same spell she had use before.
"Protect them!" Jasmine yelled to her companions, indicating Harry, Ron and Hermione, who were screaming, trying to avoid the spells that were flying at them.
One of the other death eaters tried to use a stunning spell on the girl with light strawberry hair, but another flash of light hit him squarely on the side of his neck coming from the shadows as Dumbledore, Tonks, Lupin and Mad-Eye Moody emerged. It was Lupin who cast that spell at the death eater. At the sight of Dumbledore, Bellastric and her death eaters quickly retrieved. Jasmine saw Bellastric running towards the heart of the forest and started to chase her when Lupin yelled, "Jasmine no!"
"But she's getting away!" She bellowed, stopping in her midst.
"No, not now," he said, but Jasmine was still staring at the back of Bellastric's back as she ran with the rest of the death eaters, fighting with herself as to whether she should go after Bellastric. "Jasmine!" Lupin called her again. She reluctantly turned around and headed back to the others.
"Are all of you alright?" Tonks asked Harry, Ron and Hermione who were covering themselves on the ground.
"Yeah we're fine," Harry said trying to help Hermione up.
"What was that?" Ron asked as he got to his feet, fear in his eyes.
"I think it would be best we all head back to the castle." Dumbledore said in his calm voice.
"I think your right Dumbledore," Mad-Eye growled.
They all headed back to the castle, walking in silence. Harry was walking ahead with Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore and Tonks. Harry kept glancing back at the four girls who was walking with Lupin and Mad-Eye. Hermione noticed where he was looking at.
"Are they the strange figures you were talking about?" Hermione whispered to Ron. Ron nodded. She glanced back at them.
They reached the castle and Dumbledore told them that it would be best if they held the conversation in his office. As they reached the entrance of his office, Dumbledore gave the pass word and lead them up the spiral staircase and lead them all to his office. Lupin gently closed the door behind him and took the sit that was nearest to him.
They all fell silence for a moment until Dumbledore broke the silence.
"Now Harry, I know you must have some questions for all of us of what happened at the forest." Dumbledore waved his hands to indicate the people before him.
Every eye was upon Harry. Harry's mind was racing; he didn't know where to begin.
"Maybe I should explain to you who we are and why were here Harry." Jasmine spoke.
"Yes, I think you should Jasmine," Tonks said.
"Ok, well you know who I am, this is my friend Cleo Lopez," she indicated to the girl with the burnet hair, "This is Hayzseline Johnson," she indicated to the girl with the short black hair, who bow her head, "and this is Dylan.......Dylan Lupin." Jasmine finished indicating the girl with the light strawberry hair.
"Lupin ?!" Hermione asked in shock.
"Yes my daughter." Lupin said, looking up at his daughter fondly, who smiled.
"I didn't know you had a daughter and I didn't know Sirius had one either." Ron said in confusion.
"Of course you didn't. You're not meant to know, no one is meant to know, especially about Jasmine." Dylan spoke for the first time.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Because everyone thinks I'm dead. That's why Bellastric didn't believe me when she saw me," Jasmine told them. "People thought that my father killed me and my mother, which is obviously not true."
"Why?" Ron asked.
"Because if Voldemort found Jasmine and her mother, they would go after them and that would stir trouble with the order." Lupin spoke.
"My mother is part muggle." She told them.
"Professor," Hermione turned to Dumbledore, "how did the death eaters get inside the forest. I thought that the grounds were protected?" she asked.
"That I can not explain Miss Granger. Voldemort may have found a way get pass the barrier in the forest." He told her. Ron flinched at the name.
"If he knows a way to get through the barrier in the forest, that means he knows how to get into Hogwarts." Ron said fearfully.
"Don't be ridiculous Ron, Professor Dumbledore has set a strong spell to protect Hogwarts. Isn't that right Professor?" she glanced from Ron to Dumbledore.
"Yes Miss Granger. I assure you Mr Weasly that Hogwarts is much protected."
As Dumbledore continued to reassure Ron that Hogwarts is safe, Jasmine noticed that Harry was staring at her. She couldn't figure out why Harry was staring at her like that, but her thoughts were cut off when Tonks asked Harry, Ron and Hermione why they were in the forest at a time like this late at night.
"I was just wondering about that myself," Mad-Eye said, "all of you should have known better than to linger around the forest."
"We went to see Garwp." Hermione exclaim.
"Garwp, who is Garwp?" Cleo asked who was standing next to Hayzseline.
"His Hagrid's little brother." Hermione replied.
"Why is he in the forbidden forest?" Hayzseline asked, with a look of confusion as to wonder why someone put anything in the forest, especially a living human.
"Hagrid thought it was a safe place to put him there." Ron said.
"Trust Hagrid to put someone in their." Mad Eye growled.
"Hang on a minute, how did you guys know we were in the forest?" Ron asked, looking at them all.
"Dylan, Jasmine, Cleo and I watched you from Hagrid's cabin. Hagrid has been very kind into letting us borrowing it while he is away," Hayzseline replied.
"Then how did the rest of you know we were there?" Ron asked at the others.
"We could see the lights of the spells from up here." Tonks said.
"Why were you all here? I thought that you were at Grimmauld Place dad?" Dylan asked her father.
"Well we needed to talk to Dumbledore about something for the order." Lupin told is daughter.
Jasmine didn't pay to much attention to the conversation that was going on, but look at Harry in curiosity of what he was thinking. Harry had not said anything for a while. Jasmine wasn't the only one that had noticed that Harry was quiet, but Dumbledore and Lupin had noticed it as well.
"Is something wrong Harry?" Lupin asked and Harry quickly looked up finding that everyone was staring at him.
"No, not really. It's just that......why hasn't Sirius ever told me that he had a daughter?" he finally asked the question that was in his mind, "No offence but you don't look anything like Sirius."
"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not," she laughed, looking at Lupin who laughed also, "the reason why I don't look anything like my father is because my mother put a spell on me to look like her when I was young, so if anyone ever tried to look for me, they won't find me and it's one less thing my father has to worry about. I know this is a shock to you Harry, but I do hope that you understand." She looked at him with a pleading look.
"Harry you must understand why this was kept from you. You know what Sirius was like, if he finds out that Jasmine was taken by Voldemort, you know what he would do." Lupin said.
"I guess I understand." Harry said.
"So does this make Harry and Jasmine.............", Hermione questioned.
"It makes me Harry's god sister," jasmine interrupted Hermione, "your parents were my godparents Harry and my parents were your godparents Harry." She looked at him. There was silence, no one knew what to say. The hour passed so quickly that it was already mid night. Dumbledore looked at the clock and ordered his students to go back to their common room and get some sleep, but Harry protested by saying he wants to know more.
"But! I want to no more about this. After all, me and Jasmine have a lot of catching up to do, right?", he looked at Dumbledore, hoping that he would do that thing where he knows exactly what everyone is thinking and understand Harry's burning desire to talk with Jasmine.
"I'm sorry Harry", he said with sincerity, "I realize you have a burning desire to know more. But it is now time for bed. There will be plenty of time in the morning to talk the time away. Goodnight everyone!"
Dumbledore let them out of his office. After he had walked rather quickly with them others down the hall. Hermione looked at the others, a little recklessly and said, "he rushed off on purpose! So he would not have the responsibility of making us go to bed! Ron, Harry, to the Gryffindor common room", she said to the others. Ron looked at her surprised, he poked her waist, "You're getting a rebellious streak babe", he said jokingly. They headed for the common room..
