Chapter 7

Last time on NLN:

Darling Amy,

I honestly don't know how to write this, but if you are reading it then I am dead. I am so sorry honey but I suppose I should just come out and write it. Tim Fleming is not your father.

I will explain, your father was part of a cult called 'Death Eaters' he followed a hypocritical madman, however he was not there by choice, only because he was pressured into it.

His name is Severus Snape.

Now, continuing with Marion's letter!

You will not recognise this name, as only your father, sister and I knew of this, but Severus will recognise and welcome yours.

You see honey, you are not what you always thought you were, you are a Natural Witch with the abilities of Earth, you Earthly abilities come from me, your witch powers from your father (a wizard). The reason you have never learnt these powers is because you have already done so unconsciously

Let me explain, your soul mate is a pureblood wizard, so your subconscious has learnt all the spells he has. As for your Earth abilities, it simply means you can talk/influence (influence, not control) any living thing.

In fear I have said too much I must now sign off, your sister knows where you will find your father, and in turn your soul mate. I will make one last thing clear, Ty Baldwin is not, nor has he ever been your soul mate, if anything he has a drop of Earthly abilities, possibly not even that. Whereas we are accepted into the high court, anything quarter blood or more is considered nobility, you are half-blooded.

I love you, now and forever my daughter

Marion Fleming,

Aka Mom

Harry

I felt many eyes on me, but I didn't let that information sink in until later, I was furious, how dare that… thing treat a woman like that?!?! And how the hell did the ministry not pick up on it? The black hole formed and the people came back, I looked at my watch, not even five minutes had past. I could see their looks of horror, I could see one person was not back, my father, he could rot in hell for all I cared.

Lily

I woke in unfamiliar surroundings, but it was easy to guess where I was, in the rooms of Merlin, but how? I found an album on the nightstand. I curiously flicked through the pages. It was my son's life! I was happy; I so missed my little Harry. I despised James even more so then in school for his sins against my son, I intend to divorce him as soon as possible.

The door opened as my child walked in, I could see the guilt in his eyes. I held out my arms as my teenage son who had seen far too much came sobbing into my arms. Everything would be Ok; I had my baby boy back in my arms.

Amy

Amy sat in the closet for a while, just absorbing the information. She no longer cried, she had no tears left. She was furious that her sister had not told her, or her so-called father Tim. She left the closet with what little dignity she had and looked in the mirror. What she saw was different then normal. Her face was hard and determined.

She stalked downstairs and heard the voices of her so-called friends and Tim who had come down to see his first grandchild born. The room went quiet as Amy gently put the letter in front of Lou.

"Where is my father Lou?" Amy asked softly, although the occupants heard. Lou went pasty white as she got up and left the room for a moment, returning to a still awkward silence. Lou gave Amy an envelope with a letter and a ring in it. Amy read the note.

Amy,

If you read this it means the truth of your parenthood has come out,

It is also true that you wish to see me, I will tell you now; I live a lonely life as a teacher at a wizarding school in Britain called Hogwarts. This is where you'll find me, child.

To get here, I have enclosed a ring traditionally given to the first-born Snape girl, I would be honoured if you wore it, to come to Hogwarts simply sit on your luggage and say 'Family comes first'.

I hope to see you soon

My love to you, my young baby,

Serverus Snape, Dad

P.S. Do not show any student this letter, if it came out I was soft then I would lose the grip I have of being mean to my pupils.

Amy chuckled lightly at this last sentence and studied the ring, it had an emblem of a snake on it with it curling into a 'S' Amy was fascinated; it was beautiful. She took off the ring Ty had given her and placed it in front of him, not even looking at his shocked face and put on the Snape ring. It fit perfectly. She nodded to Lou who went upstairs with Amy to help her pack.

Harry

Once Harry had calmed down he wiped his eyes him and his Mum went through the album, after the Matron declared Lily would be fine after a few days rest, and that an anonymous house elf would help Lily. She also scolded Harry for his actions and declared he was to help in the hospital wing for a month.

His mother made it two.

Anyway, he told his mother, late into the night of everything he got up to as he grew up. He told her of his first year in Beuxbatons when he won a French quidditch tournament as seeker, how in his second year he became friends with his male mates, Antonio, Nichols, Dimitre and David and how he was top of the class for every subject, his third he was made the duelling champion and he met Dimitre's sisters, Fleur and Gabrielle, as well as Rosa and Danie and now this year. In return his mother told him how James had her under imperious 24/7 except at night, which he took time to rape and beat her – or when he was too drunk to hold the imperious and how she had known all along of both the prophecies as she held the same ability as Luna and was happy to help teach Luna more control as she too went a bit divvy when the gift was active.

Harry was bloody ecstatic.

Especially when his mother proclaimed James Potter was not his father, and Tommy Potter was not her son, but some whore he met. That is why the ages didn't quite match; Lily was seven months along when said whore was one month. She disappeared shortly after the birth of Tommy. This is why the prophecy stated 'different child' Harry asked who his father was, she told him.

Amy

Everything was packed. Amy was ready. It was decided that Amy would take a flight to England and use the portkey (as Grandpa, who had lived in the wizarding world to learn to control his Earth powers told her) there. It was a better idea as Amy had a return ticket that she could use at any time in case something went wrong. As another precaution Jack gave Amy his and Marion's Gringrotts keys, both held a tidy sum inside. Of course it was only used in England or for emergencies.

The next day was full as Amy said goodbye to the horses tearfully. They were the only part of Heartland she would miss. That and Grandpa. She thought back to a conversation she and Grandpa had accidentally heard the previous night

Flashback

"Why are you letting Amy go, Lou?" Scott asked

"Simple, I know Snape will do the right thing and send Amy back, and Amy once Amy leaves England, claiming never to return, I will have full control of Mom and Grandpa's accounts." Scott looked in shock at his wife, who knew she was so greedy?

Amy and Grandpa got a cup of cocoa and went to bed, both filled with one more betrayal.

End of flashback

Amy put on a mask and kissed Lou and Grandpa goodbye and left to toward her plane, praying to whatever deity that her father would still love her.
