Chapter 4
Phil stood pacing in his rooms. His mind was buzzing. He had a sister. A twin sister, mind that! He didn't know what to think. He was jealous and happy at the same time. He frowned. He only wished his parents hadn't lied to him. They were exactly like everyone else. Save Julie he thought. She wouldn't lie to me. He shook his head. He wished she was with him now. His lips pulled back over his fangs as he remembered how she got her cut.
Flash back.
Julie was in Phil's arms. Her eyes were closed and she enjoyed listening to his slow heartbeat. She sighed in contempt. Phil ran his fingers through her hair. He kissed her gently. "Two boys." she said at last. "And a girl. That's what I want."
"Oh I want more than three kids." Phil said.
Julie grinned with her eyes still closed. "After them." she promised.
"Julie," Phil asked slowly. "Do you ever regret anything?"
Julie opened her eyes and stared at Phil. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Like about me or being a vampire?" Phil whispered.
Julie's eyes dawned with understanding. She placed a cool hand on his cheek. Her eyes were gentle. "I love you." she said. "I wouldn't change that for anything - not even bringing my family back to life. What's done is done let the past be the past. Think of the future. Think of being with me."
Phil pulled her close and inhaled sharply. "I love you with all my heart." He murmured in her ear.
"I know." she whispered. "I know you do."
They stayed that way for quite a while.
Severus suddenly appeared before them, breathless. "There's an
attack!" he gasped. "We need everyone we can
spare."
Phil
leapt to his feet. Julie was pale but her eyes were determined. They
all disappeared in a flash. What met Phil and Julie's sight would
haunt them
forever. Phil saw tears form in Julie's eyes. She
didn't fight them. Drawing her wand she ran forward. Houses were on
fire. People screamed in agony. Children lay in bloody masses on the
street. Adults too, were in bloody figures. Julie felt her stomach
lurch. She hated devistation. Phil was right behind her.
They split one way. Julie's lips pulled back over her fangs. She threw a curse at a Death Eater. Phil turned when he heard her shouting. He smiled. Suddenly he cried out. Peter Pettigrew had snuck up on her and had tried to kill her. Instead he injured her arm. Julie fell to her knees cradling her arm. Her eyes were full of hatred as she glared at Wormtail. Phil rushed forward, wand drawn. Not caring he shouted the first curse that came to his mind: "Avada Kedavra!" Peter saw it too late. He fell a moment later, dead.
End of Flash back.
A soft knock on his door interrupted his thoughts. A moment later his father walked in. "Phil," he said quietly.
"What do you want, Father?" he asked albeit coldly.
"To talk to you about Raven."
"I don't want to talk about her." Phil snapped. "You lied to me. You lied to me again. You know better than anyone how I hate it."
"I won't deny that." Severus said. "We have reason."
"What is it?" Phil snarled. "You
thought she was the one for the prophecy? Well it can't be. Because
remember the hidden one where Slytherin and
Gryffindor join
forces? It's the fact that Raven's my sister. I can deal with that.
It's the fact that you both lied to me!"
"Phil, your mother and I did it to protect you both. We love you." Severus said.
"Aparently not enough. Raven knew didn't she? She knew I was her brother when I didn't." Phil hissed. His father's bright black eyes were all his answer. "How could you tell her and not me? What about all that happened last year? You didn't mention her once! Why is she suddenly popping up now?"
"Phil, listen to me." Severus said. "She's a spy for us."
"And I'm not?" Phil yelled. "What about my Mark? I bear it too you know! And so does Julie!"
"She's more than a spy though." Severus whispered. "She's in his top circle."
"And I'm betting Voldemort knows about her being a vampire?" Phil challenged. "You can't keep doing this, Father!"
Severus nodded his head. "Tell me," Phil said coldly. "Did she know that Mum was alive before I did? Or was she really curious?"
"She was acting in the hospital." Severus murmured. "She knew what you'd been through."
Phil shook his head. "Can I have some time to myself?" he asked. "I need to think."
"Of course." Severus said and left.
Phil opened his large window. He closed his eyes. The next instant a large winged unicorn flew from the grounds. He landed before the hospital. He pawed a few times. He could feel Julie in there. And she was agitated. He whickered. Instead of her leaving the hospital it was his sister.
"What do you want?" he asked her coldly as he became human.
"Don't be angry Phil." Raven said gently.
"I have every right to be!" Phil snapped. "All three of you lied to me. And don't you dare say it was to protect me!"
Raven bowed her head, silent tears cascading
down her cheeks. "You think we liked lying to you?" she
demanded. "Do you really believe that? I hate
Voldemort more
than you know. So does Dad. We had to wait to tell you. We had to
wait for Julie to come into the picture."
"Julie?" Phil asked. "What does she have to do with it?"
Raven looked away. "You knew she was coming."
Raven nodded. "I can see the future. It comes from Mum's side of the family."
"What else aren't you telling me?" Phil whispered. He was afraid of the answer.
"Voldemort he... well he," Raven said. "He made me in charge of murdering her family. Though Christine did it she couldn't have done with without my help."
Phil stared at her. "You... you helped kill her family?" he whispered.
"I had no choice!" Raven cried. "I saw it happen. I had to do it. She had to meet you."
Phil shook her head. "I don't believe this. If she knew..."
"You must never tell her!" Raven pleaded. "She'll hate me!"
"I can't do that Raven. If I'm to marry her, we have to trust each other. No secrets."
"Please Phil?" Raven whispered. "Do it for me."
Phil stared at his sister. Her face was pleading. He sighed. "Alright."
Raven threw herself about his waist. "Thank you." she whispered.
Phil lifted his head and whispered, "No."
He pulled Raven away from him.
"Julie wait!" he cried.
"I can explain."
Raven followed. Phil grasped her arm. "Let go of me!" Julie shouted. Her eyes were full of betrayal. Phil pulled her to him. She pushed away. "You -you -you!" she stuttered. "How could you?" Her voice was full of hurt and loathing and Phil hated it.
Raven stared from Julie to Phil. "Don't blame him." she pleaded. "It's my fault."
Julie shook her head. Her eyes were full of
hurt. "You have no idea what you've done." she whispered to
Raven. She turned to Phil. Tears clung to her
lashes. "I know
why you did it." she whispered. "But I need to be by myself
for a while. Just a couple of days." She kissed Phil on the lips
and left
him with hsi sister.
"Julie. Julie?" he
called after her. "Julie wait!" He sank to his knees when
she didn't. He hugged himself. His green eyes sparkled. Raven grasped
his
shoulder. They Apparated to Snape manor. Severus and Lily
hugged their children. Phil moved away. "Never again!" he
hissed. "Never interfere with
my life again. Any of you!"
he rushed upstairs.
Severus and Lily shared a look. "What happened Raven?"
"I told him about me being physicic." Raven murmured. "And what I had to do with Julie. She over heard."
Severus paled. He stared up the stairway where Phil had run. "He has every right." he whispered.
"It's the girl!" Lily snapped. "I knew she was too good to be true."
"It's not her fault Lily." Sev murmured. "See it through her eyes. She loves him. And he loves her."
Raven walked away. She rapped quietly on her brother's door. "Go away." he shouted.
"Phil," she said while stepping in. "She will come back."
Phil threw a pillow at her. "No she won't! You know nothing of her, Raven. She trusted me with her life... and I broke it. She'll never forgive me."
