Chapter 24: Answered Questions

"They told me you were dead," Sirius whispered as he held her.

"No, I never was. I never could get a message to you with you being in Azkaban and all. Then, when you escaped, I tried everything to find you. When I finally learned of your location, it was too late. I gave up all hope of ever seeing you again." Storm was crying and hugging her long lost father.

"Come," Sirius said, motioning for Harry to join their reunion, "let us go up to the school to talk. Someone else can deal with this mess." He motioned at Voldemort's lifeless body.

As they walked back towards the school, many students gazed in wonder at Storm and Sirius. It was only then that it hit her that these people thought they were dead.

"Instead of talking amongst ourselves, why don't we call a conference with some of the teachers, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. That way we only have to explain once why two supposedly dead people are waling around," Storm suggested.

Harry and Sirius nodded their agreement and Harry went off to gather McGonagall, Snape, Lupin, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. Storm grabbed Sirius and did what she called "orbing" to the school. They sat waiting in the late headmaster's office.

Finally when they all entered with shock showing on their faces, Storm began.

"First things first, Dumbledore will not be joining us this evening. He traded his life for Sirius', and Snape, before you go and scoff, please listen to my story. It began seventeen years ago when I was born to a wizard and a guardian fairy of sorts. My father is Sirius Black." Storm paused as shock registered on the audience's faces.

"It was predicted that the combination would give me more powers than anyone could ever imagine. When Sirius was taken to Azkaban, my mother died of a broken heart shortly after. I was an orphan when I was a little over one year of age. Dumbledore knew of the prophecy, so to protect me, he sent me to a muggle family and told everyone that I had died. My magic developed fast. I could control things with my mind and hands. I also soon discovered that I could heal my own wounds."

"My adoptive family became freaked out about me so I ran away when I was five. I lived on the streets learning curses and other stuff from rogue wizards. This last summer, Dumbledore found out where I was and came to find me. He asked me to come here and help Harry because it would only be with my help that he would live."

"I accepted and came here. Dumbledore explained the importance that no one should find out who I was. It would endanger everyone's life if Voldemort did. So I did everything I could to keep my identity a secret," Storm said looking at Harry. Suddenly it dawned on him, she took the map!

"My crankiness was because of the upcoming anniversary of my father's death. I always blamed myself. If I could have only gotten to him, I could have saved him. But before I go on I think I should explain why my existence was a danger."

"My powers have developed drastically over the years. I have no use for a wand actually. Dumbledore made me get one so I would look normal. I use my mind or hands most of the time. Yes Snape, it was me who sent that pitcher of water after you and made the chalkboard erase everything you wrote. Anyways, I can also 'orb.' Hogwarts was built so people can't Apparate or Disapparate in or out. I can orb in and out, though, and make myself invisible to others so I can spy. If Voldemort found out, he would have come after me."

"Now to another confession, the basilisk poison. I knew that whatever was in that package was deadly. That orb that the fairy was holding on my necklace started to glow. The venom stung really bad but I couldn't heal myself till I was away from watchful eyes. Dumbledore knew and so I convinced him that Voldemort had to believe I was dead. I'm sorry Harry that I had to lie to you but I was only trying to protect you. Forgive me?"

"Yes of course I do," Harry smiled.

"One small question," Snape injected, "can you read minds?"

"I knew you had to had to sense me," Storm teased. "One last explanation. When Voldemort was killed, a vortex of souls was formed. Dumbledore traded his life for my dad's. I don't think there could ever be enough words to express my gratitude towards him."

After all the questions had been answered, people fled out of the room. Snape and McGonagall went to explain things to the Ministry. Hermione, Draco, and Ron when to bed. And Sirius went off with Lupin.

Storm and Harry stood staring at each other. Harry went to her and kissed her. Then he hugged her close, thanking heaven she was alive.

"Storm, do you remember that day I asked you what you were going to do after graduation?"

Storm looked at him, "Yes."

"You told me that day that you would go back to the streets."

"Yeah."

"Well I have a better proposition."

"Really?"

"Marry me," Harry breathed against her lips.

"Yes," she whispered and Harry felt the tears on her face.

"I love you Storm."

"I love you too Harry," Storm whispered.

Harry smiled, "Maybe we could have a double wedding with Hermione and Draco."

Storm laughed, "Maybe."
