Chapter 4: Truth of Our Parents, They Never Hated me


Willow's P.O.V:

Harry and I looked at each other once more as the knocking continued to echo the air, followed by a small 'boom' from the lighting. I was torn between opening the door and let whoever's there in, but at the same time I was actually a bit hesitant.

As I wondered, I missed a 'click!' Followed by the door opening. Harry however, heard it and pushed the both of us behind the fireplace while I covered my hair with my blanket. I don't really know about Harry, but I was a little scared. The person outside seemed to have a very unstable aura, which radiated from 'I'll kill you!' to 'I won't harm you.' And due to this, I could hardly tell if he's going to harm us or not.

"...Harry?... Willow?" a kind voice from the stranger asked lightly as he walked into the cabin. "I know your around here somewhere... Can you please come out? And Willow, if you could er... 'feel' me, I know I feel a little unstable, but I swear I'm not going to hurt the either of you."

Harry and I looked at each other, while I was wondering if I should trust the voice or not, while he didn't radiate any signs animosity, I just couldn't be sure. Sighing, I finally decided to come out, Harry seemed to know what I was thinking, before he grasped my right hand and we both took a deep breath before we walked out to face the intruder.

The stranger waited quietly as the both of us to walk out from behind the fireplace, as he removed the hood that covered his face. Revealing a scarred, pale face that was a shade or two darker then my own. He had light brown hair, and his clothing is consistently shabby and patched. He was holding a box in his left hand while he held a stick in the other. However, through his green eyes I could only see kindness, and the desire to help, making me wonder why he had half his aura yelling "I'll kill you!" in the first place.

"Long time no see you two," he smiled lightly as he lifted the box to us. "Here's a little something for you two. I..."

Before he could finish however, the stranger slipped on a wet spot on the floor before he yelped and fell face-first into the ground and onto the box. He stood back up before looking at the half-squashed box with something that looked like 'Oh no..' radiating in his eyes.

Before I could ask if he was okay, the light went on and we both turned to see Aunt Petunia, and Uncle Vernon come down as the stranger stared at the half-crushed box as he stood up. However, what shocked me was that Uncle Vernon was carrying a rifle, and was pointing at the stranger with the intention to shoot if necessary.

"Get Out this instance! You are trespassing!" He demanded as he aimed the rifle at the stranger. However, before I could blink, the stranger waved his stick and the rifle was all of a sudden tied up in a knot.

"If you'd please, I wish to talk in peace."" He said before turning his gaze back at us and gave handed us the box again. "Sorry about it now it's crushed, but it should still at least taste good"

Harry and I looked at each other. Harry's look gave a 'We don't even know this person, and yet he got us a present?' However, I accepted the box after a moments mental debate, and opened the box to revel a recently squashed chocolate cake with snowy white icing that wrote: Happy birthday Willow and Harry!

The stranger rubbed his back of his head sheepishly as he went a bit pink. I let out a small laugh, before shaking my head. "Don't worry! I like it! I can see you put your effort into it!"

"Me too!" Harry followed after I handed the cake to him, and he placed it on the coach. "However, who are you sir? Why are you here? And How do you know us... (whispers) and Willow's... Sense?"

The stranger looked at us sadly before he waved his stick again, and fire sprang from the fireplace. Warming the air slightly before he sat on the coach. "My name is Remus Lupin, but you can just call me Remus if you like. And I knew both of your parents of course. You are a splitting image of your father, but with your mothers eyes... And Willow here..."

He said before looking into my eyes. "I feel I'm looking at your mother Willow, you have some of her abilities, and you look exactly like her except for your hair, and eyes. And to why I am here... "

He wiped out 2 familiar letters before handing it to us. We started at it for a second before we recognized it as the same letter we've tried to read for the past week. We took a deep breath before we both ripped open the envelope to find a letter. Opening mine, I read mine silently:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Dear Willow Celestia Eileen Nova,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

After I finished reading my letter, I was confused. What was Hogwarts? I was about to ask Remus when my stomach rumbled, making me blush. Harry laughed a bit, before his stomach also rumbled.

Remus burst into laughter as our faces both turned into a nice peach colour before walked towards the now lighted fireplace. A few minutes later, the smell of sausages filled the air. He smiled at us as he gave both me and Harry six fat, slightly burnt, sausages on a plate. We both sat down on the coach before we devoured our share, as Dudley looked at us from afar, while we heard Uncle Vernon whisper to him something about not accepting anything from Remus.

"Erm... Remus?" I said, after I finished eating, gulping down a feeling I might regret this. ""I'm confused... what's...Hogwarts?""

Remus gave me a look of shock, surprise, and alarm before he looked at the both of us. "Your kidding right? Surely you should know! Haven't you ever wondered where your parents learned it from?"

"Learned what?" Harry and I asked.

"Learned What?! Learned WHAT?!" Remus screeched before he jumped from his crouching position and send the Dursely's a glare. "Why don't they know anything?! You mean you haven't told them anything?!"

"I do know Math, English, History,Science...," Harry paused for a moment before he continued. "... and some guitar from a kind man, and so on..."

"I do too, but mine's the violin..." I added. Remus just gave us a horrified look before he started mumbling something about how our parents will be 'dancing in their graves' if they knew about this. I wondered why he's saying this when my parents hated me, unlike Harry's... Unless...

"That's not what I mean!" He groaned out after a moment. "What I meant was about your heritage! Your wizards! Two great ones too if you could be trained properly! That's why you've been accepted into Hogwarts!"

The room went silent right after Remus said that, I stared at him as if he was crazy, there was absolutely no way that Harry and I could be a wizard! They were just made up stories...!... But if that's the case, how did Remus do all that?!

"There, There must be a mistake!" Harry managed to finally get out, still a little inconvenienced "We can't be Wizards, we're... Erm ...Just Normal twins!"

"Twins huh..?" Remus smiled sadly as he shook his head. "Well then, what about the times you get angry or scared? Anything happening between the both of you couldn't explain?"

The both of us gulped as we realized he was right. Once, when Dudley and his gang chased us, we all of a sudden were on top of the school roof, and another time when I was 5, they dyed my hair black, but the next morning it turned back to its normal colour, resulting me to be forced to put on a wig everyday.

"I thought so," Remus stated.

"They are not going I tell you!" Uncle Vernon shouted, finally snapping out of his shock from the bent gun "We vowed that when we took them in that we would stamp this madness out of them!"

"YOU KNEW?!" Harry yelled while I just stood there speechless; Trying to processes what I had just heard.

"KNEW?! Of course I knew!" Aunt Petunia said. "When my parents found out that my 'perfect' sisters were witches, they were so proud. When only I saw what they really were... A Freak. First that mother of yours" she pointed at me "Introduced Lily to your father, and then helped Lily get together with that Potter boy and had Harry, while she married that Snape boy and had you. But oh, despite being known as this 'Aegis', her magic still didn't prevent them all from being blown up!"

"B...B...BLOWN?! MY PARENTS...WHAT!?" I finally managed to whisper out "You were lying?!"

"Blown up?!" Harry shouted. "You said my parents died in a died in a car crash! While Willow..."

"You said they hated me..." I whispered as I felt the wind around me go freezing cold before I shouted out the next lines. "That was a lie right?! My Parents never hated me, my mother was never a whore! And my Father didn't murder my mother because he hated the both of us! That's actually a lie isn't it?!"

"LIKE THAT"S THE WORST SLANDER I'VE EVER HEARD! LIKE A CAR CRASH COULD EVER KILL LILY AND JAMES!" Remus roared before a bottle that sat nearby smashed into pieces. "AND SEVERUS LOVED LUNA AND WILLOW WITH HIS LIFE! AND HE WOULD ALSO DIE FOR THEM! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!"

"It doesn't matter!" Uncle Vernon shouted again before he attempted to grab me. "They are not going! I'll force them here if I have to! Because I am not paying for some crack-pot old fool to each them magic tricks!"

However, before he could reach me however, I did something I thought I'd never do... I punched him straight into the face, sending him flying and crashing to a wall.

"I... I..." I whispered before I slumped down onto the coach nearby as I let my tears fall. "My parents... Loved me... They never... Hated me..."


Harry's P.O.V:

The objects on the room started to lift into the air, and the wind started to blow harder as usual as Willow continued to mutter "They never hated me... They didn't..."

As Uncle Vernon stood up, Remus glared at him and gritted out in a deadly voice. "NEVER insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me. And both of them will be going. Their fees have already been paid before they were even born! And dare say something like that about Lily, Luna, James and Severus again and I'll show you the true powers of a Wizard! Understood?! Now get out of my sight before I change my mind!"

That was enough to send the Dursley's running out the front door before I heard them unhook the boat, and tried to get back to shore in the storm that calmed down a bit. However, Willow just kept rambling on and on as the objects that levitated into the air started to fly all over the place, while the wind was threatening to blow the entire cabin down. I gaped at the sight, is this the power of the wizard?

Remus quickly walked towards us, dodging 2 pillows and a glass bottle on the way. He quickly removed his cloak and draped it over her shoulders before he uncorked a vial full of misty-blue liquid and made Willow drink it. Slowly, but surely, she calmed down, and the objects flying around the room were slowly lowering down.

Willow then looked up at us as her tears of sadness, anger, but mostly relief started to stop, while the last drops slowly streaked down her eyes. "Ha...Haha... Why did I ever believe that what they said was true? I should have known that they were lying the whole time..."

"I should have too Willow," I stated before sitting next to her. "I also should have known that they were lying."

Remus's face went pepper red before he rubbed his temples. "Oh wait until I tell Dumbledore what those muggles have been filling your head with... There is no way... Just no way...!"

"What's a Muggle?" I asked, trying to lift the thick tension around the air.

"Non magic folk," he quickly answered. Before checking a watch for the time. "*Sigh* Look, I'll tell you the truth of both of your parents after we finish buying your supplies okay? Right now we've got to hurry if we are to get your supplies on time. As much I hate how you, their children, were lied about them."

"...Sure..." the both of us answered as we followed Remus out the cabin door. Outside, the storm has abruptly calmed down and the moon shone through the night sky. Willow quickly buttoned the cloak, and tried to get warm. She was only wearing a thin threadbare dress in the first place, and while my clothes were also threadbare, but at least it's a bit warm.

While we waited, Remus quickly fired up the jet black motorbike with a side seat he transformed out of no where and helped the two of us in. As the motorcycle took off into the night sky. Willow's left eye than sparked from lifeless black to a clear glowing light gray color (I think it's only me through). She smiled again just as we flew over cities, only this time, it was a genuine smile. A smile that I haven't seen before...

My lips also formed a smile as I saw her peer down on the town bellow. Maybe this was a start of a new life for us... A new life...
