Chapter 16: Truths and a Custody Battle
Harry, Bill, and Jersey, the last ones to arrive at Grimmauld Place, made their way to the dungeon. "Jersey, what happened?" Ginny Squeaked.
"Gin, you'll find out." Harry whispered, taking Jersey down to Albus.
"Ah Harry, if you and Bill will take Jersey into the room over there, Severus is inside, while I fill everyone in on what happened, it wouldn't be good for Jersey to relive it again today." Dumbledore said, watching them walk into the room. He then turned to the 300 members of the Order of the Phoenix.
"You are probably wondering what happened to miss Snape. It seems that Blaise Zabini used a confundus charm with the Imperious curse, making Jersey black out for the last two months, also making her his willing slave. While under it, he had her break up with Harry, become engaged to him, and then proceeded to rape her. Unfortunately, that is not the worst part. When she finally broke out of it around 12:30 this afternoon, she had no idea what was going on. When she confronted Mr. Zabini, he slowed her lungs, choked her, and when that didn't work suffocated her with a pillow. She just started talking again. Hugging or kissing anyone but girls or Harry, has her regressing in age. She woke up with the mental capacity of a five year old, she doesn't trust many, so be honored if she does, for she won't even trust Lucius. She'll talk to all of you, but how she acts depends on how much trust she has. There are a few rules, we can not Blaise's name, 'Ini' and him or he is fine, and please do not ask her about what happened for she doesn't know, the last two months are blank, all she remembers is being lost in her head and that she was bad and was being punished. Now, I have asked you all here to be witnesses to Lucius and Severus' confession to Jersey and Draco, if we could bring the people out of the back room now that would be wonderful." Albus conjured two seats, while Lucius and Severus stood up in front with Albus.
"I guess it's our turn." Severus said, breaking the tension. "We have a few things to admit to Draco and Jersey. We'll start with Draco since his is the easiest. Draco as you know you were adopted, but now that 'ini' casted the Paternus charm on you, you are our rightful heir. I hope you don't mind. However, Jersey still isn't your sister. See, I was never pregnant with her and neither was Lucius. One of my cousins' needed help raising his child. He couldn't care for her at the time. His wife had died along with two of his friends. He let us adopt her, thinking it was the right thing to do, and had to go into hiding. He didn't think it would be fair to raise a child who couldn't go outside. We thought he would be in there forever, so we changed Jersey's apperance so she looked like a Malfoy and a Snape. We think it's only fair to tell her whom her father is, since we have an heir and he doesn't. The fact that he's out of hiding, makes it only fair to introduce them." Severus walked over to Jersey. "Hun, do you understand?"
"You're a liar. You're not really my daddy. Harry, I told you, didn't I." Jersey moved closer to Harry.
"She knows who her father is?" Severus asked, confused.
"No, she told me everyone she trusts ends up hurting her." Harry explained, feeling sorry for Lucius and Severus. "Jersey, I think this is different. They were making your life safer. It would have been worse. Your real father trusts them, you should too." Harry took Jersey's hand in his.
"I'm sorry Severus, Lucius you were only helping. So, who is my father? Is he in the room? Can I trust him?" Jersey asked, everyone was shocked by the change in personality.
"Yes, and yes you can trust him. Harry and a bunch of others do all the time. Jersey your real father is Remus Lupin. I'm just your godfather." Severus said, helping Remus stand.
"Jersey that's great! Remus is a great man, he's like another father to me." Harry said smiling.
"Are you really my dad Remus?" Jersey asked, slightly shaking.
"Yeah, you had a mother also, Kelly Monagham. She was just as beautiful as you are. I've wanted to tell you this for years, I just didn't know how."
"So, that's why Sirius said he felt uncomfortable saying Severus was Jersey's dad, because he knew, but Remus, Jersey needs to come back to Hogwarts. What if she was resorted no wthat she knows the truth? She won't be thinking like a Malfoy." Harry pleaded.
"What are you talking about Har?" Jersey asked, looking between the two guys.
"I don't think you should go to Hogwarts this year. He wasn't arrested for what he did. He has a trial, but he's still allowed to go to Hogwarts, and there is no one to look out fo ryou while you're there."
"Albus, Bill, and Charlie are going to be there, along with Harry, Draco, and my dad. I'm sorry Remi, it will take me a while unless I can call you daddy, then I'll have you as a daddy, Sev as dad, and Lucius as father until I get use to everything. Please, don't take me out of Hogwarts, Dumbledore please." Jersey ran over to Albus clutching his side.
"Jersey can we discuss this later, we have another important decision to make." Albussaid hugging Jersey.
"Yes sir, I'm sorry." Jersey whispered.
"It's okay. We need to discuss who you'll be living with. Do you want to stay with the Malfoys or with Lupin and Sirius?" Albus asked.
"You mean that Lupin and Sirius are a couple also?" Harry asked confused.
"Yes Harry." Albus said, before turning his attention to Jersey.
"Albus, this is ridiculous, they could never provide Jersey with the life she's use to." Lucius voiced his complaint not wanting to lose Jersey.
"They can Lucius. Remus just made deputy Minister of Magic. They will be improving Grimmauld place and have asked Jersey to re-decorate and improve the house. They are going to let Jersey stay at St. Mungos and Gringotts , and have offered her a position of Head of the Magical reversal squad. She'll have a lot of work, but it pays more then both your salaries combined." Albus could feel Jersey tense.
"Dumbley Dore, can I talk this over with someone, please?" Jersey asked.
" Sure, who would you like to discuss this with?" Dumbledore asked, tears welling in his eyes at the sight of the machines Jersey was hooked up to.
"Who do you trust the most?"
"Kingsley, can you and Harry talk to Jersey in the back room?"
"Sure Albus, Here Jersey let me help you." Kingsley helped Jersey off of Albus and into the room.
"Kingsley , I don't want to lose my brother, we've always been known as then twins, and now I don't know what we are. I want a big brother and now I don't have a brother, or any clue on what to do. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, no one deserves to be punished because no one was bad."
"Jersey, you've gotten to know Lucius and your cousin Severus. I think it's time to get to know your real parents. You could probably be tutored at home until you get comfortable with living here, and I'll even see if I could stay with you. You'll also be able to build your own house sort of and be wealther here with Remus, plus they aren't bad people. In the long run if Draco needs to get away from the manor or if something happens to them. Then you could have Draco live here with you." Harry explained.
"Kingsley, what do you think?" Jersey asked, turning towards him.
" I think Harry is right, plus look at the condition your in, you got this way being raised by the Malfoys." Kingsley spoke up.
"Harry, can you get Drake?" Jersey whispered holding her throat.
" Hey Jers, what is it?" Draco asked, sympathetically walking through the door a minute later.
" I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose you as a brother, and I don't not what to see you." Everyone in the room could tell Jersey was becoming scared and quickly losing trust for people.
"Jers, you won't lose me as a brother, Lucius and Severus have been fighting a lot. They didn't want to tell you, but they are thinking of getting a divorce. If they do, Sev will be at Hogwarts constantly,and Lucius is going to move to France. I'll need some place to hang out, and I couldn't think of anywhere better but here. Move in with Remus Jersey, you'll be happier." Jersey nodded her head and got up.
"Have you come to a conclusion Jersey?" Albus asked, standing up. He noticed Jersey's pain starting up again and handed her another potion.
"I have, some things have come to my attention like the eventual divorce of Lucius and Severus, and the fact that lving with them has rendered me in this condition. I will be keeping Draco as my brother, even if we are not blood related, and we will still be known as the Malfoy twins until otherwise told differently. Remi, Siri before I make my mind up, I have two question. If I live with you, can Harry stay and can Draco visit?"
"Of course. I would never split you three up, and even Hermione and the Weasley's can visit. So, how about it?" Remus asked, praying Jersey would make her decision, the suspense was killing them all. Sirius walked up to Remus and placed his hand on Remus' shoulder.
"Albus, I've made up my mind now, I want to live with Remus. I want to get to know my real father. I hope Lucius and Severus won't be mad. I've even agreed to change my last name and to be resorted due to a few problems I'll probably have in Slytherin. Now, I don't want to sound rude, but when can I move in?" Jersey let a huge smile break across her face, while some of the order cheered.
"Tonight if you want, and it didn't sound rude, you sounded like me." Sirius said, walking up to her. "So what's my cool nickname?"
"D.I.L.F." Jersey said laughing and Draco joined in. However, everyone else was lost.
"What does that mean?" Sirius asked, a little frightened.
"Well, that's what students will call you, it's dad I'd like to fuck. Sort of M.I.L.F. for a girl."
"Oh, well what will you be calling me? What can I call you?" Sirius was all excited to be a father.
"I'll call you, actually I don't know, can I think about it? I want to come up with something really cool. You can call me your little girl, or daughter to your friends, I don't care what name use. I'm sure you'll learn all my nicknames when that article comes out, I'm sure some interviewer asked that question. They do every year. Oh no, I missed the photo shoot! Remi, sorry, daddy are you ok? I'm a little scared at how quiet you are about all this. It is okay right?" Jersey went from excited, to neverous and worried quickly, you couldn't tell until the warning alarms on Jersey' machines started off.
"Jers, calm down everything is fine, but if you don't calm yourself you'll end up in St. Mungos. I'm just shocked you'd choose me over the Malfoy's, I'm seroius. I'm glad you're moving in and can't wait. I've been waiting and praying for this day for 17 years. Is is okay if I hug you?" Remus asked, getting up and rushing over to hug her. "I love you Jersey."
"I love you too Remi." Jersey hugged him back, trying to calm him down.
"I'm proud of you Jers. You had a hard decision and you made it like an adult. I understand if you don't want to work at Gringotts anymore. You'll have enough of work between St. Mungos and being the head of the Accidental Magic Reversal Department." Lucius said, walking up to Jersey.
"Are you kidding? I'm going to do all three. I just have to get better first, and I will I promise." Jersey said, standing up to emphaze her point.
"Okay. Well then, if we can close this meeting, we can discuss Hogwarts." Lucius said, looking over at Dumbledore.
"Meeting closed, if you will all sign the document at the door, everything said here will be legalized. If you seven want to stay here we can discuss the Hogwarts situation while they leave."
"I want to go to Hogwarts, Please Dumbledore. I'll be careful, I'll stay close to Severus, Bill, Charlie, McGonagall, and Frienze's classes. I'll make sure someone knows that I'm on the grounds, I'll even take someone with me. I'll stick around only my closest friends, I'll get resorted. Siri can even be my pet, please."
"Jersey this is up to Remus and Sirius." Dumbeldore said calmly, so Jersey wouldn't go into a fit again.
"Albus, if it's any help I'll take on an assistant from the order." Severus added in.
"Jersey, I'll put aside my feelings for Snape and be a Potions assistant. That way I can watch over you." Sirius said. "You can go to Hogwarts under one condition. You are tutored at home first so you can get use to being around Remi and I, and you help us like you did Harry. Help us pass as high society people, deal?" Sirius held out his hand.
"Deal. Well, I'll go pack and come back tonight, unless you two want to come along with us." Jersey shook Remus' hand also.
"We'll come, it will give us time to know our daughter a little more." Sirius smiled at the word daughter. 'I finally have a family.' He thought to himself smiling again.
"Right then, here's a portkey. I'll stay here and see if I can expand headquarters a little more." Albus handed them all an old book and with in seconds they disappeared, "now where to start?"
KIMEKIMEKIMEKIMEKIME
A/N: Ok, I know I haven't updated in a while...But it will be another while until I update because I get out of school in two weeks, so I have alot of senior and final stuff coming up, plus I decided that the chapters I haven't posted yet I didn't like how they were going so I'm going to re-write them. Anyways, I am almost finished with the next chapter of twisted school year though.
Orlin: Blaise is still you're favorite character? lol, if you say so. Yes, Harry is confused, but he won't be for much longer.Dragon won't kill you for saying poor Draco in this fic. Yes go Molly! She really is a super mom, even in the books. Yep, Jersey is having very bad luck, but Blaise is more evil than mentally insane. Yes, legendary Novella reviews are a good thing, so don't worry about that. It took you two days to get over that shock? Well, I wonder how many days it will take you to get over this one. Dragon Duh, I can't review on yours because you have a different password then Kime does. Her passwords are always the same, there's no shock to which is which. Oh, and I am soooooooo not Draco's son! Nope I'm not listening I'm not listening! I do commentary in your dreams? That's a little creepy. There is nothing funny about my growing up! Nothing at all, do you hear me NOTHING!
Volleypickle: I'm glad you enjoyed that twist, but what about this one?
SarahAmanda: I'm glad you liked the last chapter. I hope this answered your other questions though.
