Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter they're greatly appreciated. Anyhow this is the chapter all about young Pandora, and with a surprise in store for Bellatrix and Voldemort. Pandora is a Sue just so you know, but she will grow out of it later.
Please review and I'll keep them coming.
Enjoy!
Hogsmeade Village, 11:30 a.m.:
The three men were out late in the morning in the almost empty streets of the once peaceful Hogsmeade Village. Snape had looked into some information on Pandora and realized that Albus must've hidden her with someone nobody would expect to be keeping the Dark Daughter.
"Any idea what she looks like sir?" Draco asked pulling his scarf around his neck.
"Possibly like Bellatrix, but younger." Ivan let out a chuckle, and the two wizards turned to him. "Something funny about that Mr. Covington?"
"Of course, it's going to take a little longer to find her. If she does look like our mother then she won't come out in public."
"He does have a point." Draco agreed. Snape then took a good look around the area and saw a hooded figure come out of…Aberforth Dumbledore's old shack? The face was cloaked with a scarf and hood, but it was definitely a woman, and a young one. Snape looked at the girl closely and noticed the scarf was a mixture of purples and magenta colors, with some initials written in silver, P.N. B.
"You two wait here, or if you're cold go into the pub I'll be there shortly." The two nodded and left without a word. He went in the same direction the girl went into, and she walked into a meat shop that was somehow still open for business. He waited for her in the alley beside the shop, and she came out carrying a large thing of meat wrapped in white packaging five minutes later. He was about to approach her when she walked over to him and stood in front of the alley.
"I know who you are, but let me deliver this first." She walked off back towards Aberforth's home and he waited.
'Albus must've gotten to her.' Soon later the same girl came out with a hand bag on her shoulder. Her face was still covered, and the cloak she had on was slightly too big for her. "You're ready?" she nodded.
"I am. Severus Snape?"
"Yes, I know who you are as well. For now I have to get you somewhere safe." She followed closely behind him, and they made their way into Madame Rosmerta's pub; Ivan and Draco were at the front drinking butterbeers, talking casually until they caught sight of the two.
"Well look who's here? You two all cozy eh?" Ivan smug attitude was really getting on Snape's nerves. Hopefully Pandora wasn't as bad as her brother.
"This is Pandora…"
"It's Pan." She muttered but clearly.
"What?" they looked at her.
"I go by Pan, Pandora was a woman who unleashed all evil upon the Earth in Greek Mythology; I am merely Pan, a girl who was born with magic in my blood." All three men exchanged looks and 'Pan' just snickered a bit.
"A smart girl, she'll be fun to keep around." Ivan stood up from his seat and held out his hand. "I'm Ivan Covington, it's a pleasure to meet you." She took it and shook firmly.
"There'll be more time for introductions later, now we must head back to the manor. Your parents will be waiting." All four wizards left the pub, which had grown rather empty after Snape entered. Once they reached outside Ivan, Draco, and Pan grabbed Snape's arms and disapparated. They were soon outside the large gates of Malfoy Manor, and the wards were strong and intact. "All of you stay put, I'm going to alert the others." Snape walked up to just a few feet in front of the wards, and waved his wand in front. A small clear spot appeared, and he motioned for the three teens to follow through.
"Who goes there?" the voice of Bellatrix Lestrange rang through the air.
"It is I Severus Snape, returning with your family." The gates opened slowly; the four walked through and into the large doors of Malfoy Manor. As they walked inside they soon came to the main sitting room Bellatrix, Lucius, and Narcissa were waiting. "You wait here." He whispered to the twins, and Draco walked in getting a small embrace from his mother.
"Well? Where are they?" Bellatrix was eager he could see, ever since she'd broken out of Azkaban all she could talk about were her children and how the Ministry ruined her life taking them from her.
"Right here. Come on out." Ivan walked first, and Bellatrix was absolutely astounded.
"Hello mother." She hugged her son tightly to her, nearly squeezing the breath out of him. "Uh…mother you're…crushing me…" she let go and smiled a big smile.
"Oh my god…I haven't seen you since you were a baby. You're so bloody handsome I could just eat you!" Ivan let out a laugh.
"Frankly mother I don't think I'd taste that good." He hugged her again. Ivan looked over to the three blondes looking a bit stunned and winked. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you, Uncle Lucius, Aunt Narcissa, and Cousin Draco." Narcissa walked over and hugged her nephew.
"It's nice to meet you as well…"
"Ivan, my name's Ivan."
"Pleasure to meet you Ivan." Lucius stayed where he was, Draco smiled a bit since Ivan seemed to bring out his aunt's softer side.
"Where's your sister?" Narcissa asked and at that moment Pan, still covered from head to toe, appeared in the doorway. She walked over to her mother slowly, and pulled off her hood and scarf. All eyes widened at her, even Snape's a little. Pan resembled her mother greatly, soft, curled, shiny black hair, peach skin, and brown eyes but rather than hard with hate and disdain, Pan's were soft with kindness and curiosity.
"Oh. My. God." Lucius spoke walking a little closer.
"Bella…she's lovely." Bellatrix let go of Ivan, and opened her arms to her daughter. Pan walked over slowly and let Bellatrix hug her. As they stayed that way Bellatrix pulled back and smiled so sweetly it was almost creepy.
"What's your name dear?"
"It's Pan, mother." She said in a soft voice.
"My goodness, my own babies are all grown up. I-I…can't believe it…" tears were about to pour from Bellatrix's eyes but she wiped them before they could fall. "You both know how to use magic I believe?"
"Yes." They answered together, and then Ivan spoke up.
"We don't know as much as you mother, we were raised by non-magic folk."
"That's not a problem, you're both seventeen you can learn from me and your father."
"Speaking of which where is our father?" Ivan asked.
"He's resting right now darling, but you'll get to meet him tonight we have a meeting with some friends of ours."
"Don't tip toe around Bella, they know everything." Lucius walked closer.
"Do they?" the twins turned to him and nodded.
"We know all that's happened Uncle Lucius, we know all about the war." Draco smirked.
"Damn, you've known each other for ten minutes and you're already acting like twins."
"Oh darling you can take off your coat it's plenty warm in here." Bellatrix went to take the cloak off but Pan stopped her.
"I'd rather you let me." Bellatrix looked a bit startled but smiled.
"Alright." Pan slowly took off the cloak, but then as she pulled it in front of her and hung it on her arm jaws dropped to the floor. "Pan…what is that?" Bellatrix pointed to Pan's stomach, which was really swollen.
"Mother, I'm pregnant." No one said a word for a few seconds, until Severus decided to fix the situation. He walked over to Pan and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"How far along are you?"
"Six and a half months." Bellatrix placed a hand on Pan's stomach, and then looked directly into Pan's eyes.
"Is the father…a muggle?" Pan flinched at that question, and Bellatrix pulled away. "Honey?"
"Yes." Narcissa moved towards Bellatrix and pulled her away from Pan.
"Severus why don't you take Ivan, Pan, and Draco into the kitchen I'm sure they're famished?"
"Good idea." Snape pulled Pan away and the boys followed. When they reached the kitchen Draco found one of the house elves putting away cookies.
"Leave those out, and fix everyone a drink."
"Yes master Draco." The elf pulled out a pot of tea and poured it into four white china cups. Ivan handed one to Pan and a cookie.
"Thanks." Ivan looked over to Snape and handed him a cup.
"You think she's angry?" Snape took a sip of tea and shook his head.
"I can't be sure, we'll have to wait until Narcissa calms her. I would be more concerned on your father's thoughts on this."
"What for, it's his grandchild and from what I recall Dumbledore telling me our father treasures his bloodline greatly?"
"Yes, but he despises muggles as does your mother. For now let's wait and see what happens, just try and remain calm." All four nodded in agreement and sipped their tea, waiting to hear back from the witches and wizard upstairs.
More shall be explained in the next chapter, I hate leaving it like this but I'm only trying to fix it up until they reveal more to their dad than everyone else at once. Please keep reviewing because I love to hear what my viewers think.
Later!
