Disclaimers: I don't own Harry Potter and Sailor Moon. I, however, do own Artcelle and Shayne (who is obviously me… P). Pairings are still the same. I hope Draco-lovers doesn't get mad at me (I love him too… so please don't get mad…). This is now chapter eight. I hope you all like this story even if shows more of Shayne's background (Warning: Shayne-centric chapter)… So without further ado...
Surprising Revelations...

Chapter 8: Something Unexpected...
They gasped as the Vallesant Manor burned.
They heard a scream and Severus grew worried that it was Shayne who screamed, seemingly forgetting for a moment that his eldest daughter were now with them alive and healthy -- just temperamental and maybe a little psychotic.
They were all about to rush inside when they saw a shadow not quite far from the manor. The shadow was walking towards the manor and they saw that the shadow belonged to Shayne.
She was still wearing the bloodstained white gown, but what bothered them was the serene smile she had on her face as the manor was slowly burning to ruins.
She was about to leave when the front door of the Manor opened with a bang.
Victoria Vallesant ran out of the manor sporting third degree burns all over her body. She was becoming very hysterical beacause of her current state, her wand was destroyed inside the manor, but she ran to her daughter when she saw her.
The closer Victoria came to her, the more Shayne's eyes became lifeless. Her serene smile slowly disappearing, turning into a straight line. Her face which looked mere moments ago now turned into an unemotional, lifeless doll's.
Victoria suddenly dropped into her knees infront of Shayne, now unable to ignore the pain that is rushing throughout her body.
"Shayne... please...," Victoria began as she pleaded to her daughter; wanting to survive, she lowered her pride. "help me... heal me -- please.."
They were all surprised at Victoria but Shayne surprised them even more when she stepped back as her mother tried to touch her.
"Help you...?" Shayne said, her face impassive and her voice in monotone, "Heal you...? Hn... Why should I? You mean nothing to me, you are nothing, to me you don't exist... So... how can I help and heal someone who doesn't exist?"
Victoria looked at her daughter in shock. Never had she ever thought that her daughter will answer her with such an answer, and treat her this way. Her daughter loved her. Her daughter lived for her... She always knew that even if he abused the girl, she knew her daughter will forgive her... that she will still love her.
"Why are you so shocked? I am a Snape aren't I." Shayne said with an unbecoming smirk on her face, her eyes held malice and hatred.
"Shayne, what are you saying? Victoria asked.
She along with Severus and the other time travellers dreaded her answer.
Shayne looked at her mother with hard, cold eyes. "Do you really don't know what I meant, Mother? Do you think that I wouldn't snap? That I would love you forever. All my life all I ever wanted was your love and your approval but what did you do? You insult me... you abuse me... you killed me, Mother! You killed my heart, my very soul. So I want you to read my lips. N-O... that spells NO. I won't heal you. You're just going to take advantage of my healing powers. Help you? That's rich, well though luck, I'd never willingly help you."
Shayne took a dagger and bought it to her wrist and cutting it.
"This is all you want from me isn't Mother. You want to see me in pain. You like seeing tears falling from my eyes."
Instantly the wound in Shayne's wrist healed itself up. "You hate me not only because of Severus Snape... you hate me because of my power. You reek of fear. You fear that I can read minds and control elements without a wand. You hate me because I am too powerful for you to control. I loved you Mother, I would have done anything you asked me too, it you just loved me. But now it's too late. You can never take back wahat you deed to me. I'll even kill you, or even myself, if I could."
Ten year old Shayne kneeled next to Victoria and raised her left hand.
She cupped her mother's chin so that they can look in each other's eyes.
Shayne smirked again as she told her mother mockingly. "This is what you wanted isn't it? Now don't tell me that you've changed your mind. You are so pathetic that you disgrace me. No wonder Severus Snape never accepted you. Your weak, pitiful, ugly and a very untalented witch."
Shayne said as she made fireball out of her right hand.
This surprised them all, no one knew that Shayne can do wandless magic.
"You'll disgrace your beloved Severus. Now there is no chance in Hell that he'll accept you. Why? Simple really... It's mainly because you the most worthless and pathetic witch, and creature, to ever grace the Earth."
Then Shayne kissed her mother's left cheek.
She stood up and backed away from her mother.
"Payback's a bitch, Mother. Too bad you found that out the hard way."
After saying this, Shayne turned her back to her mother and walked away. A few steps forward, Shayne's body suddenly stopped.
She frozed up and the time travellers recognised this stance.
They knew that Shayne was having a vision.
A few moments later, she turned again to her mother.
She strode up to the woman and healed her.
Victoria looked up at her daughter but gasped, in this precise moment her daughter looked a lot older that her ten year old self.
"Don't think that I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this for a greater cause. I just had a vision and it showed that you will have a big part in righting the wrong in this world. That by letting you live, you can give the side of good a leverage in the upcoming war. However, you must understand that from now on you are not my mother anymore. I don't need you and as you always say. I'm a weak, worthless burden. Get on with your life without me. I'm sure that you'll get over me very easily." Shayne said this in a tired tone.
When she was assured that Victoria was now cured, she stood up and stared to walk away from her mother and her old life.
Unknown to her tears fell from Victoria's eyes.
She now know the mistakes that she did to her daughter. She even made herself sick of what she did.
She looked at her daughter as she fade from view, hoping that one day she might be given another chance to fix the mistakes that she did to Shayne.
