Oh my, did Bloody make me feel good last chapter. Now as she said, we are going to try and make this a joint account, but there are times when both me and Bloody get over excited for a chapter. So there may be times like the last few chapter. Haha anyway.
I made a correction last time but you may not have seen it, but Apollo & Cassiopeia are not in the same year (sorry Liadan thought you knew) she's 10 months younger, making her a fifth year and him a sixth year.
Chapter 4: Of the Past
A comfortable silence overtook the compartment after Apollo and Cassiopeia explained to Draco what happened to them over the summer. Draco and Apollo began to talk about anything while Cassiopeia brought her knees to her chest and relaxed her head against the cool glass, letting her thoughts wander. Soon, she felt her lids dropping and she let sleep take her
" Selena! Come play with me!" Sara begged, pulling her sister from her potions essay.
" Alright, I'm coming you little nymph." she responded, allowing the six year old to drag her outside.
An hour later found the two in the apple orchard, the noon day sun forcing them into shade. Sara was curled up on her older sister's lap, the other wrapping a protective arm around her shoulders before she too fell asleep.
In a flash, Cassiopeia found herself in a room, painted a deep red, a familiar woman holding a familiar child in her arms.
" Artemis, what did you name her in full?" A man asked, out of view from Cassiopeia's view, no matter how many times she turned.
" Cassiopeia Athena S-"
She didn't hear the full name before she was in another home, another familiar woman holding Apollo.
" Name?" A cold voice said.
" Hermes Apollo S-"
The world around her spun until she had one room in sight of one eyes and the other in sight of the other eyes.
" Cassiopeia Athena-"
" Hermes Apollo-"
" Snape" The women said at once.
" Opeia!" Apollo screamed shacking her. ( Don't look at me like that! I needed a nickname for her. It's hard to keep writing her name)
Her eyes shot open and locked with his. " I know our full names, my mother's first name and our father's name."
Apollo sat back and stared at her in shock.
" How?" He whispered, handing her a tissue.
The blood trickling down her face reached her mouth and she quickly wiped it away. Staring at the crimson on the cloth, she went over the dream ten times before she locked eyes with her brother again.
" My dreams, that's what reveled our names last time, only this reveled so much more. But I almost don't want to believe it, but my Dragon Elf blood is screaming that we finally found da." Cassiopeia replied, curling into Apollo's side.
Another ten minutes passed before she sat and whispered.
" It's Snape. Severus Snape is our father and Apollo is your middle name. Your full name is Hermes Apollo Snape. Mine is Cassiopeia Athena Snape. My mother's name is Artemis…but that's all I saw before you woke me up."
Hermes sat back and gave Draco a glance before walking out of the compartment. Cassiopeia made no move to follow, only sat there as the pain rushed through her spine.
" Damn, he never has any breaks." Draco whispered, moving to sit by Opeia.
" I wish I had found him sooner. I might have been able to help him!" She hissed, her eyes gaining her red rings.
The temperature of the compartment dropped several degrees as her anger grew. The door flew open and Hermes had her in a protective hold.
" Easy little girl, you don't want the whole train to freeze now do you?" He whispered.
Cassiopeia's anger cooled and Draco could actually feel his limbs again.
" Ok, now that we have most of the info we needed, what are we going to do about Snape and your mum?" Apollo asked
Ok my parts done, yah!! Ok, now I will be going in between Apollo and Hermes b/c I like both names.
Bloody, your turn
OoO
you asked for it, Raven, your getting Snape my way be prepared. Oh and I have a different nickname for her sorry.
"I don't know what to do, you are the Slytherin Hermes, do you think we should tell him?" Cassiopeia pointed out.
"I don't know about telling him outright, but I do know it is harder to keep a secret from Snape then it is the Headmaster. He will probably find out on his own soon enough." Hermes replied.
"What do we do if he confronts us?" she asked.
"That would depend on how he reacts. If he hasn't said anything to one of us by now then there is a good chance he doesn't know or remember we exist . If that is the case he will be just as shocked as we were earlier in the summer. It will be a lot to take in at once. We will have to give him time to get used to the idea. If however he does know about us and didn't care then we will have to run with it as the situation happens." Hermes answered.
"Hey, I don't think you two have much to worry about. I know the professor personally, he is my godfather. I think you two may be surprised by how he reacts if he finds out." Draco added in.
"Thank you Draco. Sieo, do you know who your mother is, or where?" He asked.
"Her name was Artemis, that is all I know so far. Maybe father will know more." She answered.
"I hope so, you deserve to know her or at least of her." He said honestly.
"We are almost there, you two might want to get changed." Draco told them as he was pulling on his own robes.
"This is going to be one strange year," Cassiopeia observed.
"Definitly," Both of the boys answered her at the same time.
Bloody's Notes, I think I am going to end it there. I know my part is woefully short but I kept Raven waiting long enough for this much.
