Harry x F!Reader {Year 1}

Truth

Your p.o.v.

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

He sighs.

"I'm not your father. . ." He muttered, not looking at me.

"Then who is? And who's my mother?" I asked him.

"Your father's name is Sirius Black. He fell in love with a Slytherin girl named M/n Riddle. She was a Slytherin. He was a Gryffindor. They loved each other very much. They ran away from Voldemort. She even changed her name so no one could track her down. She had to erase so many people's memories of her. She was like a sister to me, even if I didn't agree with her choice of men. But they got married and had a little baby girl." Dad explained, then looked at me with a sad smile.

It must be hard for him to remember all of this.

"Then, one night, Voldemort came looking for you. Your father wasn't home, but your mother was. . ." He trailed off, trying to collect himself.

I put my hand on top of his.

He looked at me, and his eyes held sadness.

"He killed her? Didn't he. . .?" I asked him, preparing myself for the answer.

He nodded, unable to say it.

I looked down.

"Sirius Black is a criminal. I am your godfather. Your mother wanted me to be your guardian if anything were to happen to her and that criminal." Dad said.

I smiled a little at that.

My life isn't a complete lie.

"I took you in without hesitation. I was already suffering from losing a loved one. . . " Dad looked so sad at the thought.

"Lily. . ." I muttered.

He looked at me in shock.

"How did you know. . .?" He was shocked, but he also had another emotion.

I couldn't put my finger on it.

"The meaning behind the questions and answers you asked Harry on the first day of class. In flower language, it means, 'I bitterly regret Lily's death'." I told him thoughtfully.

He nods his head.

"You are correct. You really are bright for your age." He smiled at me.

"I have a great person to thank for that." I smiled at him.

"I hope this doesn't change anything." He says.

I smiled at him, "Of course not! I'll always see you as my Dad!"

He smiled at me and said, "Good."

We hugged each other.

"You should get your rest. I'll be seeing you in the morning." Dad told me.

"Goodnight, Dad." I smiled at him.

He smiled back and patted my head.

"Goodnight, y/n." He said and left the Hospital Wing.

Hermione came over and hugged me.

I kind of forgot she was here.

"Are you alright?" She asked me.

I nodded my head, "I will be. I'm just processing it all." I told her.

She nodded in understanding, "I'm here for you, and so is Ron and Harry."

I smiled gratefully.

"Alright, now let's check you up to make sure you are alright." Madam Pomfrey said.
