Emilla Potter

A turn of events

- What... what are you saying? - she asked confusely.
The professor talked about a lot of things that have been...
- I said that we have to wait until professor Dumbledore arrives so we can talk about what is going to happen - Severus repeated himself - The principal clearly had something in his mind.
He wasn't angry at the girl. He would have felt the same in her shoes.
Emilla was crying. She didn't understand a thing. Just as she wanted to say something Ms Cewers were back with another... "visitor".
- Milla darling, this is Mr. Dumbledore. He came to talk to you with
Mr. Snape - she said and went back to hell the three sick kids. Emilla struggled with her feelings. She tried to calm down but nothing helped. Dumbledore sat down on another chair next to the professor.
- Miss Potter I believe you're confused.
She looked at him without a word. What was he going to say?
- The world thinks that your brother is the only Potter alive and I think we should not change this situation.
- But I want to... - Milly started but the principal silenced her with a glare. His unbelievably blue eyes felt like laser to her.
- I know. But it wouldn't be good if you turned up as another... "child, who lived" - he said.
- Dumledore. What are we going to do now? I'm here because Mrs. Bones sent me. She knows that a young witch lives at this orphanage - Snape sighed in frustration.
- I think we should give Miss Potter a new name - the wizard explained, turning to Emilla - I think of a way that you can go to live somewhere else, and maybe we could change a few things on your looks. So nobody would assume, you are the sister of Harry.
- Change my looks? - she asked - How big of a change do I need?
Dumledore and Snape looked at her a bit surprised. Severus was even confused.
- You are okay with this? - he asked. This type of reaction was not the one he thought to be coming. She is eight and she is thinking way more mature.
- If I won't go to another orphanage, the yes - she nodded. - But it's not that hard. I can change my appearance any time.
The principal gave her a surprised look.
- What do you mean, Miss?
Emilla didn't understand. Is it special that she can do that? She was a bit confused.
- Like... this... - she closed her eyes, and concetrated on freckles and brown hair. Slowly her red hair started to colour itself dark brown with a few locks of darker blonde and dozens of freckels came around her nose - Is it unusual? - Milly asked as she opened her eyes just to see two astonished wizards looking at her. Severus almost had his jaw on the floor. Dumbledore seemed to be more exited.
- Perfect! And amazing Ms. Potter.
