The Phoenix Child Chapter 4 – Secrets
Everyone found themselves in the astronomy tower, at first it looked like no one was there but on the edge was a thirteen year old boy curled up. His shoulder length hair covering his face. The slightly older Severus kept looking towards the door every second or so. "She's not coming" he said with a disappointing sigh. When he gave a yelp and jumped into the air. A girls laughter could be heard.
"Jas!" Sev hissed "don't do that, and take off the cloak."
Jas was still giggling as she took of the invisibility cloak. "Sorry Sev it was too easy."
The two fell into comfortable silence then:
"Jasmine I need to tell you something"
"Severus I need to tell you something"
They spoke at the same time. "Ladies first" Jas looked scared and Sev wrapped an arm around her. "It's…it's a long story" she stammered "I can handle it" He tightened his hold on her.
"I'm older than James by five minutes, and nobody but my grandparents on my fathers side was happy about that, they all wanted James to be heir, not me……. they hated me, I never knew why but they did. I found out why when I was five, see before then I was the human house-elf, I lived with them, cleaned like them, but…. the house-elves didn't get beaten like me. But I found out a seer foretold that the first born Potter girl would be born a Black Mage, and guess what?... I happen to be the only Potter girl born since then. My brother was raised to hate me and I only was safe at my grandparents, they loved me and stopped most of the bad things the others did to me. Until my Grandmother died,….. I couldn't even attend the funeral because I was unconscious, my family got meaner even the house-elves had rule over me, I knew my family wanted me dead or disowned but because of my Grandfather they couldn't. Then when I got my Hogwarts letter I was happy, I could escape my family,…… but they had other plans James was there to 'keep' me in line by whatever means, that's why I'm in the hospital wing more than Remy and now Black wants in and he's worst…… I needed to tell someone Severus, someone I trust……" She fell silent.
"You should tell the Headmaster" Her head shot up
"No, I can't"
"Why not? Look what Potter and Black has done."
"Because if word gets out I'm a Black Mage, I could get kicked out of school"
Sev bowed his head "I'm sorry Jasmine"
She moved out of his embrace and wrapped her arms around her knees. "Don't be it's my fault I'm weak and a coward" She snorted "I can't stand up to my own family"
With shocking speed Severus grabbed Jasmine and hugged her tight "You are NOT weak you are one of the strongest people I know, and aren't we all cowards at some point" They looked into each others eyes onyx to hazel, they blushed and pulled slightly away.
"Severus you had something to say?" He nodded then looked at Jasmine. "I have to do something first okay?"
He got up and spread his arms into the air.
"Hogwarts hear your heir show your self!"
After a while a woman with pale white hair and eyes appeared out of thin air. The woman smiled "Heir how many times must I tell you my name is Rose?" Jasmine stared at the woman "Who…What are you?"
"I'm Hogwarts"
Sev faced the woman "Hog- Rose can you create a barrer to prevent a curse from coming into effect?"
"Yes just you two or the other three in here?"
"Other three?" and from the shadows came Shauuna, Lily and Remus "Sorry we had a meeting of secrets to share too" Lily gave a grin. Sev and Jas nodded "All of us" Sev stated. Rose chanted and a white glow and shrouded them.
"It's done, Heir"
"Thank you Lady Rose" and Rose shimmered away. "So how long were you three there for" Jasmine asked
"Just long enough to want to kill James Potter" Remus growled out.
"And yet you stay friends with him Remy"
"Get off my case Sev, you have something to share?"
"Yeah and your next" They stepped close to each other glaring at each other.
"Boys!"
Sev and Remy moved away from each other. Sev took a deep breath and started:
"I lived a life like Jasmine hated by everyone in my family- well they weren't my family, I had been kidnapped when I was three, because of who my father was. The people who kidnapped me were Death Eaters tortured me and mocked me saying they had told my father they killed me, that I was now their son and I belonged to them, they made me their machine. I was forced to read, write, speak properly, and do advanced magic I had to follow their orders to the 'T' or I was punished. They wanted a Death Eater's child in Hogwarts the same year as Potter and Black and I was the closest but I was three years to young. So they forced me to drink an aging potion to make me eleven."
Shaunna gasped "What? That means you are…"
"Yeah I'm eleven now, really I'm still ten. My real birthday is August ninth. Before I left for Hogwarts they put a spell on me to make sure I couldn't tell anyone"
"But your telling us" Lily said as Jasmine held Sev from behind and calmed him down.
"That's why I called on Rose; they made the spell one telling others weaker than the one on telling my parents, but now none of you can say anything about it."
"Ok, but who are your parents and what is your real name?" Remus asked the incident from earlier forgotten.
"My parents are Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Professor Minerva McGonagall,…… my real name is Simon Dumbledore."
