Lupin's Little Dark One
Last Time:
"There are many secrets you do not know anything of Miss Lupin, even if you do have your father's copy of the Marauder's Map." Albus said wisely. "Not all secrets can be plotted, but many are recorded, in the library."
"And I intend to read every book in the library Headmaster." Kieran said. "I wish to further my knowledge of my ancestry."
Chapter Three: A Little Dark Emotion
The feast had ended and the first years gone. Only Harry, Dumbledore, Remus, and Kieran remained in the Great Hall. She was resting her head on the table, listening to the conversation the three males were having. Remus was standing next to her playing with her hair gently. Harry was watching Remus and Kieran carefully. Dumbledore was searching a small file of papers.
"I do rather recall placing it in here." Dumbledore said. "I just not sure exactly where Harry."
"Maybe you burned it!" Harry said, "I hope you did, I want to get back on the team."
"Perhaps it is best if you stay off the team." Remus commented.
"No, it's my sanity, Quidditch is the most important thing in world to me right now!" Harry said.
"Then perhaps you really need to get out more." Kieran said, lifting her head up. "Honestly if the most important thing to you is Quidditch."
"Kieran gets my agreement." Remus said.
"I do agree, but I will allow you to participate." Dumbledore said. "Providing you allow Miss Lupin to teach you how to live."
"What life have I got to teach him from?" Kieran asked.
"Your music, your poetry, your sports, your partying abilities." Remus said. "I know a lot more about you than you think Kieran."
"That part of me is dead." Kieran darkly replied.
"A part of one's being does not simply die, Miss Lupin it fades into memory and then forgotten if not recalled." Dumbledore said.
"Then it's forgotten." Kieran said.
"I don't think it is." Remus said.
"I want it to be." Kieran said.
"Well I don't." Harry said. "And since I'm the student I rule."
"Harry, shut up." Kieran said with a soft smile.
"There it is!" Remus exclaimed, "the Kieran I was sent tapes of!" She gave him an off glare but all he did was smile. "I know it's hard, but you can manage."
"Father, I think you're out of you mind." Kieran said. "Harry, would you mind telling me where the dorms are at least." Remus sighed.
"I'll take you up." Harry said.
"Goodnight, Harry, Miss Lupin." Dumbledore said, "Remus."
"Goodnight Headmaster." Kieran replied.
"'Night Dumbledore." Harry said.
"Goodnight Albus." Remus said. "Kieran, I'm not finished talking to you."
"I'm finished talking with you Father." Kieran said. Dumbledore took his leave. Kieran turned and started away.
"That hurts." Remus said.
"Now you know how every waking moment of my life feels." Kieran said. "That my parents would die as well as my closest friends and I would be left behind. Left in a world with no one except my biological father who doesn't even have the courage to tell me the truth. I was left in a world that will soon enough fall into darkness under Voldemort!" She finished with tears in her eyes and turned to the two. "You only have a taste of my pain."
"I know your pain, and don't you think I don't." Harry spoke up. "My parents were taken, as was my Godfather. I know what threats Voldemort brings, but they are only threats. Kieran, please don't close up. I looked in your eyes and I saw the same hatred I feel in my own. I need you." Remus looked at him. Harry had this look on his face that even someone who had never seen him or even heard what he said would know it. Harry was connected with her in the brief time they had been acquainted.
"You don't know what you're saying." Kieran said. "You'll end up dead, Voldemort came to Canada looking for me."
"I'm Voldemort's equal, I'm the only one that can stop him, whether you like it or not!" Harry argued.
"Will both of you stop your bickering." Remus said.
"NO!" both teens snapped angrily. They met eyes. There was a sudden tremor in the ground. Remus stared wildly at the two. Dumbledore came running in to see the two locked in a glare.
"Excellent." The wise Headmaster said.
