Chapter 21: A Miracle in Disguise

"Well, what are you doing down here?" The voice asked again, this time making Serenity turn around and jump in shock.

"Please don't kill me mr ghost man, please."

"Oh yes I am so going to kill you...BOO!" Lucius said, stepping towards her, making Serenity throw the potion at him in surprise. "What the?" Lucius looked down at himself, his body changing.

"What's happening to you? You're changing colors, I thought this go through ghosts." Serenity asked, her jaw dropping. Lucius stumbled backwards and hit the table.

"What the fuck did you do girl? Turn that vial around so I can read the label." Serenity slowly turned the vial around. "Coporeal Elixar? Do you know what you just did to me? You gave me a fucking body! I'm not a ghost anymore where that potion hit me, do it again." Lucius said, looking down at his partially coporeal body. Serenity turned around, picked up a beaker and filled it with the potion before pouring it over Lucius' head.

"Are you okay? What the HELL is going on!" Serenity asked, watching this ghost turn into a person. "How the hell did that happen? CHASTITY! SEVERUS!" Serenity screamed at the top of her lungs, one of the house elves overheard Serenity's cries and went to get Chastity. After a few minutes both Chastity and Severus were rushing into the room.

"What did I tell you about going downstairs, it was off limits. Can't you follow...Lucius?" Chastity asked, her eyes catching the human Lucius.

"Hello Chastity, how are you?" Lucius asked, hugging her.

"Ok freeze, let's rewind a bit! I come down here to see witch central brewing in the basement, then I see ghost boy here accidently hit him with some sort of green icky slug and ghost boy becomes human boy. What the HELL is going on!"

"Watch you your calling boy! My grandson is a boy, I am a man."

"Whatever, someone care to explain before I go find a doctor and get all of your heads examined."

"Serenity chill. It's not as bad as it seems and this is not witch central. Look, Severus and Luicus along with every one you've met besides me are witches and wizards. This is not a basement, it's a dunegon, and this is a potions lab. The green slug is a potion, it was being made for Lucius here to be made well human, which it obviously worked. I can do magic too, I'm part of Lucius' family, I'm a witch, but I'm also something else. Our dad is a muggle, it means non magic person as is your mother making you a muggle. My mom was a witch and a magical creature, that makes me a half blood, and magical. Look, you can't say anything at all. I'm giving you 24 hours, no outside contact meaning you can not write or mail notes to anyone even on your computer, for you to adjust to what's going on, if you can't handle everything you've heard then I'm going to have to erase your memory of this event, and send you home. Just take one look at your nephew and then tell me if you could endanger his life by telling people that there are witches and wizards in this world. That magic exsists. Now, I suggest you go to bed it's two in the morning." With that Chastity left the room, leaving Serenity alone with Severus and Lucius.

"You'd be endangering more then your nephew." Severus sneered.

"Is that a threat Sev?"

"No, that's a guarantee."

The first thing Lucius did when he got out of Snape Manor, besides going home and getting cleaned up, was to apparate outside of Hogwarts, before walking over to the Quidditch pitch where he saw a group of students, all wearing the same colors. "What's going on over here."

"Quidditch Trials...HEY! I know who you are." One of the Ravenclaw girls said, looking at his blonde hair.

"Ok then, who am I?" Lucius asked amused.

"You're a Malfoy."

"Very good, now you don't happen to know where another Malfoy is do you?" Lucius asked, rolling his eyes.

"Yes I do actually, he's right over there, under the middle ring taking attendance before try outs start.

"Thank you." Lucius made his way towards Dragon, who looked up, threw his clipboard down and ran over to his grandfather.

"You're alive! How?" Dragon asked, throwing his arms around Lucius' neck and giving him a bone crushing hug.

"Potion Severus made. Is it okay if I watch the try outs?"

"How would you like to be a judge? See, Dumbledore was suppose to do it, but he had some important business to do, and obviously that left the Quidditch captain and I to pick, except that they think we're just going to pick our friends, and we aren't. Plus, it would make it look better if we had an outsider come and help, please."

"Okay okay, I'll do it. To make it fair, I'll write down who I like, but I won't tell you until you two figure out what you want to do, then after you figure out who you want to hack we'll compare that list to what I have? That way they can't say that you persuaded me to pick someone, or that my say had an influence over your pick."

"Deal." Dragon said, shaking Lucius' hand. After Dragon was done making sure everyone that signed up was there and handing them numbers, he stood up on a small podium. "Since we found a third judge, the tryouts can get underway, please everyone trying out for Seeker line up behind Lucuis, everyone trying out for chaser can line up behind Justin, Beaters line up behind me. Now, since it seems like we have less people trying out for Seeker, we're going to let them go first. Justin will release seven different Snitches, whoever catches those Seven first will proceed to the next round, everyone mount your broom...Three...Two...one."

Mat was currently sitting in the common room, he couldn't bare going down to the Quidditch pitch, seeing Dragon was hard enough but to sit t here and watch him work up a sweat in tight Quidditch pants was just too much.

"Hey Mat, what's wrong?" Jason asked, sitting down on the chair across from Mat. It was his job to make sure the Ravenclaw's were doing okay, not just in school work, but in everyday life.

"Besides my boyfriend being more addicted to Quidditch then his school work, oh nothing. I swear, if the only thing keeping him from failing is the fact that he's a great guesser."

"He's trying, after whatever happened between you two happened, he came to me and asked me to help him. He loves you Mat, and you mean the world to him. There's a bet going on that if he could marry you right here, right now that he probably would."

"He asked you for help? Malfoy's never ask for help."

"Yes, but Potter's do, and maybe he's more of a Potter then he is a Malfoy when it comes to you. I heard you two are expecting a call any day now about a kid, Dumbledore sent me to tell you that the door about halfway down this corridor is like the teachers rooms, except it's not in use. He wants Dragon and you to take it, if you want it. Obviously you'd still be a Ravenclaw, but we'd miss you and you know that. I mean who else would get drunk once, and run around the Ravenclaw common room screaming at the top of their lungs, Severus doesn't need a bed, I can bring the bed to him...By the way, whatever happened with that? You left the common room, and came back the next day with green hair, and a month's worth of dentention with Snape himself."

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"That is one of the smartest decision's you've made...We have a problem, have you seen Dragon?" Severus asked walking into the common room.

"He should be on the Quidditch Pitch, why what's wrong?"

"Lucius has a body, and Serenity had something really do with it."

"Oh Merlin!" Mat got up, grabbed the sleeve of Severus' robes and pulled him towards the Quidditch Pitch. The Quidditch Pitch was now half empty, the Seeker and Beater positons having been tried for. "Dragon, we all need to...Oh Merlin, you really do have a body."

"Well thank you, but I think I'm just a tad bit too old for you." Lucius said with a smile. "Thank you again Severus."

"You're welcome, but we still need to talk about Serenity."

"What about her?" Dragon asked, calling a time out in practice. "Oi, bring it in! We're going to take a short break before we have Chaser practice. Meet back here in an hour and a half." Once most of the field was clear, Dragon turned back to the small group of people. "So, what about Serenity?"

"Well, she's sort of the reason I'm this way. See, she was sneaking around Snape Manor, and went into the forbidden dungeons, not that they are usually forbidden but to her they are for obvious reasons as there's a potions lab down there. Well, she stumbled upon the lab and I went to help her out, and well she had a potion in her hand and flung it at me. Hence why I'm fully here."

"She started bitching and moaning about what was going on, and it seems like she can't handle the fact that there is magic in the world, and she won't listen to any of us because we're all pure bloods, and because Chastity is a magical creature. I think if she talked to someone who wasn't a pure blood it would help her." Severus finished for Lucius.

"I'll do it." Mat said, wanting to help the guys out.

"No, it's okay. We'll just obliviate her memory, that's what Chastity wanted to do in the first place." Lucius said, joining back in on the conversation.

"No, please just give me the whole day tomorrow to convince her."

"Deal, but that's all, after that we'll erase her memory."

"Deal." Mat said, shaking hands with Severus and Lucius.

The next day, Mat walked towards Chastity's office to met with Serenity. "Hello Mat, she's right through that door right now. Quite ticked if you ask me." Chastity pointed towards her office door, that had obviously been placed under heavy silencing spells. Mat quickly walked towards the door, opening it up and waiting for the worst.

"Who they send this time? Magic liason or something?" Serenity asked, turning around. "Oh, it's you. Chastity must be off teaching a class or something."

"No, she's right outside. I wanted to talk to you about everything. I know how much it scares you that magic exsists, trust me I was raised to know both worlds. See, I'm a half-blood, meaning I have muggle and magical family members. So I could do magic at home, but I couldn't do it around any of my cousins or uncles or family members. Would you like to walk with me? I have no classes today because Dragon and I got into a fight and we don't want Dragon to have a magical spaz like Harry did."

"Sure, but only a small one." Serenity said, uncertainly. Mat held out his arm, a trait he had picked up from Dragon, and led Serenity out a back door towards the lake. "So, what are you all upset about?"

"I saw a ghost go from being see through to human, I was an elf make a tray appear out of thin air, at first I thought I had just seen this stuff because of jet lag. I mean I thought I was losing it or something. I mean, I thought the biggest surprise of my life was when I would meet Chastity, I had heard so many great things about her. I didn't think she was as beautiful as she is, or as smart as she is, I mean you think of these pageant girls are all air headed bimbo's with boobs as fake as their personalities. Here Chastity is, teaching Current History along with aiding the teacher for History of Magic. She's married to a Potions Master, whose's extremely talented, and could pretty much create any potion he sets his mind to, and she has her son Capicus Eros, or Eros from what Severus keeps calling him. Whose very cute and extremely bright and you can just tell it by looking at him."

"So why would you expose them? If the secret that magic exsists got out, it would be wreck the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the wizarding world, families would be seperated, children would be killed. We live among non magical people all the time, we aren't as bad as you think we are. It's just people in general will get crazy ideas in their heads, it's happened before in Salem and if word got out, then it will most likely happen again."

"How can you live with this secret?"

"I like to think of it not as a secret but as an opportunity. See, I can live in both worlds, as could you now if you wanted to. To see how different people live two different ways, but how they differentiate. Like for example, say you wanted this bouncy ball." Mat took the bouncy ball out of his pocket and threw it ahead of them. "How would you go get the ball?"

"Walk over and pick it up." Serenity said, walking over towards the ball.

"See, muggles are considered the laziest people, but yet they really aren't. I mean witches and wizards are the laziest see. You had to walk all that way to pick up the ball when I could have done this." Mat took out his wand and pointed it at the ball. "Accio ball." The ball flew into Mat's open hand, Serenity stood there amazed. "Told you we're lazy, we can't even take the two seconds to walk over and pick it up, we just accio it to ourselves."

"That was SO cool."

"So are you still going to tell?" Mat asked, putting the bouncy ball back in his pocket.

"Nope."

"Do you promise? A wizarding promise? Meaning if you break it you'll die. If you don't believe me go ask Melissa Black, she's in a reform school pregnant with a child right now, but after the birth of her child she'll die."

"I promise."

"Good, now let's go get breakfast, I'm starving." With that Mat and Serenity made their way back to the castle.
