This chapter was rewritten! I had a few flaws but I through it for a loop and ended up fixing some :) This one is kind of short and has a bit of OOC. But this is one of the most important chapters in my opinion. I own nothing, except for maybe a blue lava lamp (thanks to my dad). :) I love lava lamps.


The next morning at breakfast, she sat by Draco Malfoy. She could not believe she actually did it, she'd been thinking about it for weeks. She'd think about it as she dreamily brushed her kitten, not realizing he had left until she felt the brush against her own skin. And even in the short hour or so that Snape had taught her how to make a powerful sleeping draught (used to put an enemy into a deathly sleep), she thought about her blonde prince.

Draco ignored her and scooted slightly away, but seeing she wouldn't leave, he began to speak. "So are you a Mud-blood like your friend Granger?"

"I don't know," she answered boldly.

Draco and his friends laughed.

"Come on," Eliza said. "Don't sit with Draco, he's just a jerk."

"I think he means no harm," Olivia said profoundly.

"She must be stupid to think that," she heard another girl scoff.

"She just hasn't had enough time to see that," Eliza spat.

"Yea give her a break," Draco's friend said mockingly.

Olivia sighed and sat up. "Alright Eliza, let's go."

Eliza smiled and led her away from the snooty boys. "You really shouldn't get involved with that boy," Eliza said. "Even Slytherins know that. I wanted to be in Hufflepuff like my older brother, not a Slytherin. I hope my sister will be placed in Hufflepuff; she might, she's really smart."

"Who's your brother?" Olivia asked as sincerely as she could.

"His name is Frank, and my sister's name is Francilia. She's only three. she's really nice."

Olivia was about to say something, when an owl swooped down. Olivia noticed it was carrying something, but before she could make it out, the owl flew into the stonewall.

"Stupid git," Eliza muttered, picking up an all to familiar envelope. She sighed. "It's for you Olivia, too bad I've been expecting my mother to write."

Olivia took it and smiled; it was a letter from her father. The letter read:

Dear Olivia, now that you know that you are a wizard (witch), you'd probably like to know the truth. I am not your father. I am so sorry Olivia for not telling you. Your father is not dead however. Your mother was a muggle (a human), and so you are not a pure blooded witch. I thought I might tell you this now rather than never. Your father was a wizard, and so was the rest of his family. You're real name is Olivia Black. Yes, I know I told you that her maiden name was Guinevere Black, but it was not. Your father was widowed when the Dark Lord murdered Guinevere. I should have told you sooner, I am sorry. I was a good friend to your mother, almost her brother. So when your father couldn't handle you on his own, he came to me. I am practically your uncle. Your father's real name is Sirius Black; he met your mother through me. You will probably hear a lot about him, and maybe you'll even meet him. I just want you to know that I love you and I hope you can love me still. I wouldn't be hurt if you went under the name Olivia Black in honor of your true parents, so please do.

Sincerely, Uncle Joseph.

And so it was, that Olivia decided to go under the name of Olivia Black. She was surprised at Joseph's choice to tell her, but she was glad she knew the truth now. Nevertheless, she still loved Joseph and a pain stabbed at her heart. She laughed a sad laugh.
