CHAPTER 3: The Secret
Now I know that ranting may not really do much good. But there I was. In the Common Room. Ranting.
"Five minutes! Five minutes and Dad's already gone and spoiled everything!"
"Lily we wanted to tell you but-" Al began.
"But what! He forbade you to tell me!"
"Yes he did! Look, he wanted us to have a normal life at school. So, he decided not to tell us until our first year here."
Normal life? We're his kids! Since when have we ever had normal lives!
"What's he really doing here Al?"
"we're still trying to figure that out, but we think he's trying to pursuade students to become Aurors."
"He wouldn't do that and you know it!"
"How much do the two of you know about your Dad?" asked Catherine.
"What are you talking about?" Al and I said.
"Your dad... he..."
Getting pissed off I screamed, "Yeah!"
"He can tell you himself..." she then left and walked up the stairs leaving Al and I standing there in the room... alone... with him.
"Well dad," I said as calmly as I could, "What do you think she was about to say?"
"Well," he began sitting down, "I know exactly what she was about to say. But the two of you dont need to know, or worry, about it."
"So you won't tell us!" Al yelled.
"Fourteen years isn't long enough!"
He stood up and though his look scared me to hell, I stood my ground. "I'm not telling you until I'm ready and that's that. If you two don't shut up and leave it... it's ministry buisness! You don't have a say in it anyways so leave it!" he finished storming out of the tower.
The next morning began as any other would. Everyone woke up, dressed and went directly to the Great Hall. But once she sat down next to Al the questioning began.
"So... how did it go last night?" asked Cat very carefully. She sounded nervous to even ask. But Al answered before I could.
"You couldn't hear it in your dorm."
"Well, to be honest I think that all of Gryffindor heard you..."
Then came big brother to mess with us. James can honestly be such a prick sometimes! I swear he butts into everyones buisness!
"Lily and Al standing up to dad! Where the hell are my siblings?"
"Shut up James I'm not in the mood," I growled leaving the table.
