HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT

I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

CHAPTER 13

Jade quickly took a shower. She put on her makeup and fixed her hair. Then she put on one of her new dresses. It was a pretty green sundress with white lace trim.

When she was ready, she joined Draco in the sitting room. They walked together to the Great Hall. Draco stopped her in front of the double doors that lead into the Hall. He gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. He smiled and said "I figure that this is the last opportunity I will have to kiss you tonight. I have a feeling that your father will be watching us like a hawk tonight." Draco explained.

I really doubt that he would poison his godson. He would be more likely to give you detention. Not that his detention's are much better." Jade laughed at him.

When Draco and Jade walked into the Great Hall, She was surprised to find that Remus and Tonks were sitting at the head table. The table was decorated with three balloon bouquets that said "Happy Birthday Jade"

Harry was touched that anyone remembered her birthday let alone have a dinner for her. "Whom do I thank for the dinner and balloons?" Harry asked with a smile.

Your father is responsible for both. If I remember correctly, your mother loved balloons. He would give her balloons at least once a month." The Headmaster answered.

Jade went to her father and gave him a hug. She started laughing because she could tell he wasn't sure if he should be pleased that she like the dinner and balloons or be irritated that he hugged him in front of everyone.

After they all ate a delicious meal, it was time to open her presents.

The first present was from Remus. When she opened the gift, Inside were two books she read the titles. " 101 Ways To Cause Mischief"and "Finding the Animal Within." Both books were written by the Marauders.

"Sirius and I thought you would like them. He found all our old notes and I took it a book maker." Remus told her.

Jade gave him a sad smile with tears in her eyes. "I love them. How many people can say that they have a prank book written by the marauders given to them by the marauders? Thank you, I will put it to good use." Jade told him.

The headmaster gave her a pensive. He told her that he knew she would put it to good use. The next gift she opened was from Draco. He gave her a necklace with a shaggy dog. A stag with lilies wrapped around it's antlers and a wolf. It was the marauder. She walked over to Draco leaned down and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

Draco gave Jade a smile but, quickly sent his godfather an apologetic look and said. "I didn't ask for the kiss I swear."

Remus and Tonks laughed while Dumbledore just smiled. Her father said. "That maybe just make sure that it doesn't become a habit."

Jade also received a present from her father. He gave her a ring. It was solid gold with the letter 'S'. There was a sliver snake wrapped around it. .

"It is a Snape family tradition to receive a family ring on your sixteenth birthday. As you are the first ever female born into the Snape family I had to have it specially made. I hope you like it."

Her father told her.

They had some cake and Ice cream. She thanked everyone for all the presents. Then she explained that she was going to go read her mother's letter and she would see them later.

My Dearest Daughter;

I told you that this letter would tell you about your father. I will do my best to answer all your questions. I am sorry that I'm not there to tell you in person. I deiced to write this letter just incase I died before you could be told who your father really is.

Your father's name is Severus Snape. We meet at Hogworts. We were friends since first year. We started dating in our seventh year. After we graduated, we started to make plans to get married.

Your father was called home by his father. Severus was informed that his mother was very sick and her last wish was to see her son one more time before she died. When he arrived at his family home the informed him that he would join

Voldemort or they would kill both of us. So to protect me he joined the dark lord.

He knew that I wouldn't be safe if we stayed together. So we split up. I will never forget the look on his face the last time we were together. It looked as if he has being torn apart. We spent one last night with each other. We were desperate to remember every moment every touch.

A month later I found out that I was pregnant. I knew that if Voldemort ever found out that he had a child with a muggle born he would be killed. So I never told him.

I want you to know that I have never stopped loving your father he is one of the finest man I know. I don't know if he is still alive but, if he is I want you to find him and get to know him like I know him. He is not really a death eater. He is in fact a spy for Dumbledore. Please tell him That I love him with all my heart.

You probably want to know how I ended up married to James Potter. He has always been a very good friend of mine. He came over to my apartment and found me crying. After I told him what was going on he offered to marry me in name only. James had already lost the love of his life and didn't think he would ever get married and have any kids of his own. We agreed to get married but, If Voldemort was defeated I would

go back to your father. If James found someone, he wanted to be with we would get a divorce. I want you to know that he adopted you the day you were born. He loved you as if you were his own.

Now there is one more thing I must tell you. If Voldemort is still alive, you might need to know. I was adopted by the Evans family when I was a baby. They had a friend that couldn't keep me.

This friend was married to a very powerful wizard that was becoming obsessed with the need to defeat death. Their names were Tom and Susan Riddle. They had been trying to have a baby. Susan had found out that she was carrying his

child. She knew he would he thrilled because he was insisting that they start a family as quickly as possible.

It turns out that he had been planning to kill his wife and child the moment she went into labor. There was a ceremony that he was going to use. She was the heir of Ravenclaw and any baby they had together would have the blood of two founders. If he killed both his wife and child, they would preform this ceremony and drink the blood of this new born baby all the powers the baby had would be transferred to him making him the heir of both Slytherin and Ravenclaw and more powerful than anyone alive.

When she overheard the plans, she ran to the Evans family. Susan and Rose Evans had been friends since they were toddlers. After the Evans family agreed to take me, She started to make plans to help protect her child. There is a trunk that my sister promised to give you the day you turned sixteen. Inside you will find information about your grandfather. There is a book inside that you might need. This is very important so please keep it safe. Susan charmed it to write all the ceremony that he preforms. It will list the different ways that he has protected himself from death. To open the book, you will have to use a drop of your blood. Because only, someone with Tom Riddles blood will be able to open it.

The reason I said that you might need the book if Voldemort is still is because I believe that the being the same person. Maybe you could ask Albus Dumbledore he might know if I am correct.

You are probably asking why I didn't use this book to find out how to kill him right. I told you that there was a prophecy called "The Serpent for the Light" I believe that you are that person in the prophesy. If I am correct, it will be up to you to kill him.

I believe I have answered all your questions. I want you to remember that I will be watching over you even if you can't see me. Take care of yourself. Try to have a life full of love and adventure.

Your loving mother

Lily

Jade finished reading her mother's letter tears were streaming down her face. About twenty minutes of crying she dried off her face and went to find her father.
