In a forest, too deep for any human to wander in, a beautiful maiden lives in the center of the forest. Her hair was deep red, the color of a rose, and went below her shoulders. Her skin glowed like the sun and she had the grace of a fairy. The maiden was a beautiful person but when someone saw her, all they can remember are her beautiful emerald eyes. They glisten like diamonds but were deep as the evergreen forest.

The maiden hid in the forest, as it was forbidden for anyone to enter, with her son. He had raven black hair that stuck up at the back. He also had skin that glowed like the sun, and he shared his mother's stunning emerald green eyes. They lived in hope of never to be discovered.

As the maiden was picking berries, her son appeared, smiling sheepishly as he knew he had done something wrong.

He faced her and said "Good morning mother."

The maiden looked at him and said "Good morning son, and might I ask, where were you this sunrise? You were supposed to be helping me pick berries."

Her son smiled nervously and said "I went to the lake for a swim. I needed some water." The maiden raised her eyebrows and look deeply into her son's eyes. He tried to block her but it was too late. His smile faded and he became nervous.

The maiden put down her basket and asked "Harry, why were you talking to the merpeople?"

She feared the response when her son did not answer.

"If you wanted to know something, you could have come to me" said the maiden.

Harry put his head down and said "I was afraid that you'll get angry if I asked you." Harry looked up and saw his mother's concerning face. He took a deep breath and said "I wanted to know if the merpeople knew anything about my father."

The maiden froze for a second, her face turned completely blank, but then turned to the bush and continued to pick berries. She asked "Did they tell you?"

Harry went up to the bush, started to collect berries, and said no. He lookup and tried to read his mother's face but she would not look at him.

Harry sighed and continued "They said that my mother should be the one to tell me who my father is, and stop asking the creatures of the forest too."

The maiden turned her head, look at Harry, and said sharply "You have been bothering the creatures of the forest! Harry, you know better."

Harry glared at his mother "I just wanted to know. They didn't even tell me."

The maiden sighed and grabbed Harry's hand, "I'm sorry, my son, but I cannot tell you. Be patient."

Harry frowned but nodded. He did not want to get into an argument with his mother. The maiden then laid down her basket, waved her hand, and the basket disappeared.

"And do not try asking your uncle either" looking at her son's thoughtful face "He coming soon and will need his rest."

Harry smiled softly and went to his pocket. He took out a wand and said "You forgot your wand and Uncle Moony will have fit if he saw that you weren't prepared at all times."

Harry gave her the wand and look at her sternly. The maiden laughed and said playfully "Remus sounds like Mad-eye sometimes. Always giving me lectures but I would die if hear Lily out of you mouth too."

Harry laughed then held Lily's hand and said "I'm hungry and Uncle Moony is coming soon. You know how much he likes blueberry pancakes."

Lily smiled and said "Fine but no pranking him." Harry smiled mischievously and then ran deeper into the forest. Lily had a sad smile and walk right after him.

How should I tell Harry that he is so much like his father
