Chapter Two: Startling Revelations

Unbalanced Gabriel appeared in a large oval room, that he knew was the office of Dumbledore. All along the walls were magical objects, that filled his vision with a multitude of colors, and a bright golden light was in his peripheral vision. Gabriel turned to look around the room, when he stopped to look at Dumbledore. Astonished he had to shield his eyes, from all the power that this powerful sorcerer held. Even with his eyes closed he could still see all the bright golden light through tightly pinched lids.

"Amazing!" Breathed an astounded Gabe, reverting back to his normal sight.

Dumbledore smiled, and replied with twinkling eyes. "You flatter me, young Gabriel."

Dumbledore sat at his desk, and conjured a plush armchair. Then he took out a velvet bag, "Sherbert lemon?" Asked Dumbledore.

Gabriel took one, "Thank you, sir."

Dumbledore put his hands together with his fingertips touching. "There are a few questions, I must ask. Please answer as best as you can. Some questions I may have asked before, but just for the record." Said Dumbledore.

"Please state your full name."

"Gabriel Kaden Doyle."

"How old are you, Gabriel?"

"15, I will be turning 16 next week."

"Where were you raised?"

"All I remember is being in the orphanage all my life." Gabe thought he seen Dumbledore's eyes flash, but he was sure it was just his imagination.

"When did you realize you were different, gifted with the ability of magic."

"Um…I've always seemed to have it, it was there at my will since I can remember. The spell books that I found in the orphanage also helped me develop pretty quickly. That's how I knew all about Hogwarts, and warding spells and the lot."

"If my predictions are right, you are not completely human and you will have a transformation into your true powers on your 16th birthday, its when all magical beings reach their magical peak; the more power, I'm sorry to say, the more painful. Have you ever had any broken bones or deep cuts?" Inquired Dumbledore.

"When I was growing up I wa-… fell down the stairs and I broke my arm. When I woke up the next morning, it was completely healed." Replied Gabe.

"Just as I thought." Dumbledore mused more to himself, than to Gabe. Gabe thought he seen Dumbledore's eyes flash again, but he was probably just seeing things.

"Forgive an old man for his bantering. You my boy, are showing signs of being a highborne elf. Manifested powers since birth, powerful magic, accelerated healing, the ability to perceive magic in animate and inanimate objects, and probably a range of other special abilities. Actually all wizards are not human. I do not mean to frighten you, but there are many creatures in this world. I do not know how much you know of the magic world, but most creatures of magic live together in the world, in relative harmony. Don't worry my boy you will find the answers you seek." Finished Dumbledore cryptically.

"Someone is at your door, sir." Gabe told Dumbledore, while trying to digest everything the old sorcerer told him.

Dumbledore chuckled, eyes still twinkling furiously. "Come in Severus." Dumbledore slightly raised his voice so it could carry through the oak door.

In walked the greasiest man Gabe had ever seen, but when the man came further into the office a sense of familiarity washed over him. This man was also connected to him somehow. Gabe switched to the Othersight, and he saw Severus exactly the same way. Severus was masking his aura, but not all of it. There was something off about this little piece that he could see.

Realization washed over Gabe. "You're not human." Blurted Gabe before he had time to think.

"Neither are you." Sneered Severus. "You sent for me Headmaster?" Something was off with this child.

Before Dumbledore could answer, the letter from Gabe's mother started to glow, and one of Severus's pockets started to glow also. Severus opened his pocket, and pulled out a letter. He slowly opened the letter scared of what he might find.

Dearest Severus,

If you're reading this letter it means I'm dead. Forgive me for leaving you and our son to fend for yourselves. 'Son, what son? What are you talking about Rose?' thought Severus. He continued to read. Yes, Severus you read right, our son. I named him Gabriel Kaden. Born on July 31 just like his cousin, Harry. I couldn't tell you because you know how James gets, he thought you were a deatheater, even Lily couldn't convince him. I don't know why he couldn't trust me, I tried to tell him that you were a spy. He was just trying to protect me, you know how brothers are. You would have done the same thing to Lily.

Just know that I love you even in death, and you need to take care of our son for both of us. I placed a glamour on him to hide his scar. I found him in the shatters of Godric's Hollow. Harry was already gone, I could do nothing about that. I took him to an orphanage run by a good muggle friend, I couldn't keep him, I was distraught over the death of my brother and I couldn't care for anyone, the bond of a twin when broken is devastating. You felt it when Lily died. I wasn't in any state to care for myself, so how could I take care of a baby. I needed time to recuperate from the death of both James and Lily. I'm sorry I wasn't there to support you in this desperate time of need, we needed each other. Fear and desperation clouded my judgment. Your father knew what I was doing.

Snape looked up at Dumbledore sharply, but then continued to read.

Don't be mad at him, I made him swear to me that he wouldn't tell anyone until the two loves of my life were reunited, now you are. He has a letter telling him about you.

Take care of our son, and nurture his gifts he will have a lot of them. He will be more powerful than both of us. Teach to him to fight for good. Take care of Harry too, your father will need all the help he can get taking care of all three of you. I'm smiling. I love you dearly, you are my time, my everything. Our love is eternal, we will be reunited. Don't rush, James and Lily are keeping me company. Take care of those boys, they are more important than anyone can ever imagine. Lily told me that, and I trust her, you know she was a true seer.

I love you my darling Severus.

All my love,

Ambrosia Faith Dumbledore nee Potter

Severus looked at his son, really noticing his presence the long matted red hair, green eyes, the overwhelming aura of magic. This was his son. His son. Hisownson. The product of his andRose's love. He began to softly weep.

Dumbledore knew what the letter was about, and he felt for his only remaining child. He couldn't help but rejoice a little bit. His son would have someone to care for, since his beloved wife was brutally torn from his life. He hadn't even got to say goodbye.

Neither of them noticed Gabe shaking violently. "I have family?" Magic poured off him in waves and whipped about him like tornado.

Everything in the room that was glass shattered. Dumbledore and Severus quickly put up shields, so not to suffer from the backlash of Gabe's grief. Gabe's power lashed out at anything it could, destroying, and shattering. Red tendrils started to wrap themselves about him, and Gabe seemed to be worn out, but the red tendrils continued to grow. Severus tentatively touched him with his magic to soothe him.

The reunited father and son wept into each others arms for several minutes.

An internal alarm went off. "Severus, I must go, there is trouble at the Dursley residence. Please forgive me for not reuniting you sooner -" Dumbledore started.

"Father, you've already been forgiven, Adair is waiting for you. Harry is such a plebian name." Severus cut him off with a frown.

"Meet me at Grimmuald Place in 3 hours." Dumbledore said before giving his son a chance to answer. He disappeared in a flash of gold.

Gabe looked startled.

"What is it Gabriel?"

"I thought no one could apparate or disapparate in Hogwarts."

Severus only chuckled.
