Our father is who? Pt.2
Yomiko Clone- Jamie: We are very evil…but not evil enough to be death eaters (or are we…)
Harry Latina- Jamie: You'll just have to wait. We can't give everything away…way too much for one chapter.
(JAMIE'S POV)
I stared at the paper in front of me until the door flew open. I looked up to see Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Draco all standing there.
"Their dad is Sirius?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Remus said.
"Ok umm…can someone tell us why this is such a big deal?" I asked. For the next hour or so, Remus, Dumbledore, Mrs. Weasley and Harry told us about Sirius and how he was locked in Azkaban for thirteen years and why he was locked up, how be broke out and them finding out the truth…everything…from the time Dumbledore and Remus had known him in school, to the time that he died.
By the end, I didn't know who was more upset…me or Jackie. We sat in silence. Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Draco had gone and left us. Finally I looked up at Dumbledore then at Remus, figuring Remus would know more then Dumbledore.
"Did he…umm…" I tried thinking of a way to say it. "Did Sirius ever…know…about us?"
"I highly doubt it." Remus said. "You said your mother died during childbirth. I do remember Charlene…vaguely."
"What was she like?" Jackie asked. Remus smiled slightly. I couldn't figure out why.
"She was nice, and really beautiful." Remus said. "Here…I'll be right back." He left the room and we went back to silence…well…everyone else thought we were silent.
--You ok Jam?—Jackie telepathically asked.
--I dunno. This is a lot to take in.—I replied. –I mean…finding out who our father was…then finding out all about him and how he died. At least it wasn't a painful death.—
--Like mom.—Jackie replied. We broke the connection when Remus returned and handed us a picture. There were two people, a man and a woman, laughing.
"Are these our parents?" Jackie asked.
"Yes." Remus said. I stared at the picture. They were moving…but that wasn't the surprising bit to me. The surprising bit was that chain and circle pendant Sirius wore for the beginning, then took it off and put it around Charlene's neck before kissing her. My hand went up to the pendant I wore before I took it off and looked at it.
"Jackie…look." I said, turning the pendant over. "It's the same one in that picture."
"Shit…you're right." Jackie said.
"May I see it?" Dumbledore asked. I nodded and passed the necklace over to him.
"Jamie…when you were born…I can remember how much you cried for the first few days." Jackie said.
"Yeah…and remember back in our fifth year…near the end." I said. "When I suddenly felt really sick and pain then I fainted."
"Yeah." Jackie said. "I don't get why."
"I do." Dumbledore said. I looked up at him. "Jamie is connected to your parents through this necklace. Sirius wore it and passed it on to Charlene with great love for her in his heart."
"But then she moved to the states because her parents didn't like Sirius." Remus said, sadly. "He would have never known about you two."
"There is the possibility that he would have felt something though." Dumbledore said. He gave me back the necklace. "Keep good care of that…it could come in more use then you think." I nodded and put it back on.
"Why is Jamie connected and I'm not?" Jackie asked, curiously.
"You are though." Dumbledore said.
"Yeah…remember when I fainted…you said you felt as if someone had punched you in the stomach." I said.
"Jamie's connection is stronger…I do not know why." Dumbledore said.
"I think I do." I said. "You guys described Sirius really well…and everything I heard…I just kept remembering all the crazy stuff I did. Maybe because I'm so much like him…then I'd be more connected to him. Right?"
"That could be it." Dumbledore said. "I am sorry to say that we may never find out why." I sighed and again there was silence. "I think that is all we need to say for today." I nodded and left with Jackie and Harry. We found the others and stood in the hall, thinking about what to do.
"How about chess?" Ron asked.
"Two person game." I said.
"Umm…exploding snap?" Ginny asked.
"Nah." Jackie said.
"Well…what do you two want to do?" Hermione asked.
"Not stay in here…that's for sure." I said.
"Oh…we'll get in trouble if we go outside without someone with us." Ginny said.
"You might…I won't." Draco said.
"He's got a point." I said.
"Me and Ron can't…the second mom finds out she'll kill us." Ginny said.
"She won't kill Ron." Jackie said.
"Yeah…if she does…then the elemental thing really won't work." I said. "We need him…as soon as this Voldemort guy goes kaput…then she can kill Ron."
"HEY!" Ron said. I smirked and winked.
"Well…I'm not staying in here any longer. That house elf is freaking me out." I said.
"Well…tell him to go away…this is technically your house." Hermione said.
"Huh?" I asked, looking confused.
"She's right. This is the 'Noble' house of black." Jackie said. "We're Blacks."
"Ok." I said. "Let's get out of here." I went out the door. Jackie caught up. I found out Harry and Draco followed us but the others stayed behind.
(THIRD PERSON POV)
"Oh…they are gonna get in trouble." Ginny said.
"Yeah…Harry's not allowed to leave. He's in more danger then the rest of us." Hermione said.
"I don't think anything will happen to him." Ron said slowly.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Well…all four of them are elementals." Ron said. "Jamie's got some pretty active powers that she can obviously control."
"Good point…but still." Hermione said.
"Well it's not doing any good standing around here." Ginny said. "I say we let the girls get their freedom and we cover for them."
"How?" Ron asked.
"You and Herm can apparate." Ginny said. "So just do that to do some cover up stuff."
"Not sure how that'll help but ok." Hermione said.
(DRACO'S POV)
We wound up at a park. The girls kept walking for about twenty minutes without saying anything and me and Harry followed them. We got to a deserted park before the girls stopped and turned around to look at us.
"Told ya someone was following us." Jamie said.
"I knew someone was following us." Jackie said.
"They were talking in their heads." Harry said. I looked at him.
"No…really?" I said. I looked at Jamie. "How do you guys do that?"
--Just think about who you want to talk to.—Jamie's voice said in my head.
--uh…ok.—I said.
--Watch…well…ok…wait a sec.—Jamie said. --Doesn't matter where they are. We can all talk to each other.—
--Whoa…what the heck?—Hermione's voice was now in my head too. Jamie mentally laughed. –Ok…disconnect or something. Please.—
--You got it.—Jamie said. "Well…I wanna swing."
"Me too." Jackie said. They walked over to the swings. I looked at Harry and he looked at me.
--I think we got our hands full with this assignment.—I thought.
--Yeah no doubt.—Harry thought. –Oh well…we just gotta be careful.—
--Yep…be careful and hope to god that no Death Eaters are around.—I thought.
"Hey…get over here!" Jamie yelled. Harry and I walked over to the swing set. The girls were now standing and staring at something in the distance. "This is when we could use Ron or Hermione because they can turn into things that don't cause too much suspicion…and can move on the ground."
"Not my fault I get the stupid dolphin." I said.
"A dolphin is a lot more handy then you think." Jamie said. "Just think…if we were stuck in water…you would be the only one who could save us."
"Which would mean we'd be very close to being screwed." Harry said. I elbowed him.
"Guys shut up!" Jackie said suddenly. The trees farther away from us were rustling. I reached out and grabbed Jamie and slowly pulled her towards some dense wooded area. I looked to see Harry doing the same with Jackie.
"Ok…hiding is a good thing right now." I said before pulling Jamie into the forest just as a rather big rat came out from behind the trees at the far end. A second later it turned into Pettigrew. I pulled Jamie behind a tree and pushed her against it before peeking over her shoulder. More people came out from the trees.
"Search the area. They're around here somewhere." Pettigrew called. I felt Jamie tense but I was too busy watching the Death Eaters to notice much else. I wasn't sure what happened to Harry and Jackie but I knew they were ok.
--What's going on?—Jamie mentally asked.
--They're searching for us, no doubt.—I said. There was a long pause of silence.
--Jackie and Harry got away.—Jamie said. –I just talked to her. They apparated.—
--Can you apparate?—I asked.
--Yeah…but it's too late to do that now.—Jamie said. –They'll hear it.—
--Great…just great.—I said. Wormtail was moving closer. –I got an idea.—
--What is it?—Jamie asked.
--You won't like it…but either way…you're going to get caught.—I said. –Don't worry…I'll get you out as soon as possible.—
--I can't believe I'm putting my life in the hands of a double agent.—Jamie said. I laughed before grabbing her. Jamie winced and yelped. I loosed my hold on her before winking and pulling her out into the open.
"Found one." I said.
"You weren't part of this search party." Wormtail said.
"Fine…then how about I let her go and let you guys try to find her?" I said. I let go of Jamie.
"NO!" Wormtail said quickly. I grabbed Jamie's arms again.
"This is just way low." Jamie muttered.
--Get ready.—I said.
--Huh? For what?—Jamie asked.
"Hand her over Draco." Wormtail said.
--Oh…got ya.—Jamie said.
"Ok." I said. I let go of Jamie and Wormtail took hold of one of her arms.
(JAMIE'S POV)
I had no clue what Draco was up to until the bald guy told him to give me over. As soon as he grabbed my arm I reflexively turned and punched him with my other hand. He instantly let go and covered his now bloody and probably broken nose. I pulled my wand out, gave Draco a 'sorry' look before doing the full body bind curse on him and a few others before putting my wand back and running back into the forest. I got pretty far then used a locating spell, found out where Jackie was, and apparated to her.
"What happened?" Jackie asked, quickly hugging me.
"Creepy people in black cloaks again." I said, explaining what happened from the time that Jackie and Harry went a different way then Draco and I, to the time where I cursed a few of the people, including Draco, and ran off.
"You full body binded Malfoy?" Harry asked. I nodded. He smiled. "Way to go."
"I take it you, Ron and Hermione really don't like him." I said.
"No. Spent six years at Hogwarts fighting with him." Harry said.
"What happened in the last year that changed it?" I asked.
"Found out that his father was actually in control of him the whole time." Harry said. "So really…everything he said and did…that was all his father's doing."
"So what happened to his father then?" Jackie asked.
"He got thrown into Azkaban in our fifth year when the ministry finally believed that Voldemort was back." Harry said. "He got out around the middle of sixth year and, according to Dumbledore, was one of the death eaters that captured you two and killed your parents."
"Adopted parents." I said. I looked at Jackie. "So…I guess we're not Petersens then."
"No…I guess not." Jackie said. "Never really felt right with that name anyways."
"I know me too." I said. I jumped when Draco apparated right next to me. We weren't even a foot apart. I smacked him. "Don't do that! At least not right next to me."
"Sorry…not like I can control it." Draco said. Harry was smirking. "Knock it off Potter."
"It's just funny…she smacked you…and you let her get away with it." Harry said. "It's almost as amusing as when Hermione punched you in third year." I looked at Draco. I smiled.
"Gee…you sure do get hit around a lot by girls." I said.
"Shut up." Draco said. I saw that he was actually smiling slightly. "I think we should get them to safety now."
"Yeah…back to headquarters." Harry said.
"Great…back in the stupid house with that freaky elf." I muttered. We went back and got lectured about leaving from Mrs. Weasley. Draco got out of it because he said that Voldemort needed him. How he knew that, I wasn't sure, but I was going to find out…and soon.
Jamie: ARG! Damn you writer's block. I will defeat you one day!
Jackie: Welcome to my life sis.
