This is not the update I'll be giving on Sunday. Just a little prelude as a thank you to those who have stuck with me all this time. I hope you enjoy!


Oomizu tucked the letter into her pack before exiting the library, weighed down with the burden of the council and its decisions. 'You'd think by now they'd have learned to work without me.'

Shrugging off the thought she hurried through the empty hallways, everyone using their free period in whatever way they could. She had a specific destination in mind now. Lai's question had gotten her wondering if she had any descendants in this school with her. Not that she would reveal herself, but maybe she become friends? Maybe even see if they had the potential to use chakra.

The teal-haired immortal sighed as she stood in front of the closed door to Student Ancestry Tree. Opening it with a creak she smiled fondly at the sentient being. It wasn't quite alive seeing as how it was only a painting of a tree, but the branches swayed and held scrolls on every branch, just waiting to unravel the secrets of our bloodlines.

Taking the blood quill from the desk, the tree seemed to bend down to allow her to reach the peak, the highest scroll. Writing the name she had used when Hogwarts first came into being, she watched as her blood flowed through gold-entwined leaves to reach the other scrolls. Names appeared in elegant script, each an alias that she had used for her cover. Those that she had married as branched out into her descendants.

It was a good thing she could create clones otherwise it would be hard to explain how a family survived with only one child at a time.

Once the tree stilled she moved to where her most recent descendant was. "Hickory Mableston; 12 weeks old. Not quite the age I'm looking for."

A flash of black hair caught her attention and bright blue eyes widened, "Well, well… who would've thought?"

Oomizu's ear twitched as the sound of voices came closer.

"I'm sure it's around here. Headmaster Dumbledore said that it would be a good thing for our studies if we saw our family tree."

"Aww, come on! Can't we do something else for our free period? It's almost over!"

"No, cause I just know there's going to be something life-altering in there."

"More life-altering than Hogwarts?"

Oomizu's head snapped towards the tree and huffed. There wasn't enough time to erase everything, but she needed to get out of here. Eyes drifting towards the ceiling she grinned.

Hermione opened the door, a frown on her face, "it looks like someone beat us here, but they left the Tree open… Did you guys see anyone leave?"

Ron entered behind Harry, "There's no one else in the hall. I bet it was that git Malfoy."

Nobody replied to his insult and he tapped Hermione's shoulder, "Er, Hermione? What's got you- what the?"

The three stared in awe at the huge Family line, but what drew their attention most were two faces. Above black hair and startling green eyes lay the curling script, 'Godmother', and beside it held bushy brown hair and a sweet smile… Above it lay the word… 'cousin'

"I see you've found out. Perhaps there's more to you than meets the eye, cousin."


I hope that was a decent cliffhanger! Hmm, I wonder what their reactions will be? Here's the updated poll:

Severus Snape: 2

Harry Potter: 3

Weasley Twins: 3

Neville: 3

Oliver Wood:1

Sirius: 1

Viktor Krum: 1

Wow, I was rather surprised for the votes on Neville. Well I hope to see more votes for the scene that will be updated on Sunday!

Signing Out, Twilight's Oblivion!
