The Secrets I Keep (Ominis Gaunt X Fem MC)

I found you

"Headmaster Black!" I stormed into his office glaring at his direction.

"Ahhh Jackson my favorite nephew" he lifted his head from his paper.

"It's Jasper" I rolled my eyes.

"Yes yes what ever. Why did you come bursting into my office?" He squinted at me. I felt like he knew why I was here yet he played dumb.

"That girl... the new fifth year is she?" I couldn't get the words out. Headmaster Black already knew who I really was considering his brother is my new adopted father. I was scared to ask if that girl was actually my sister because I didn't want them to take advantage of her as well. I didn't want them to force her into a cage as they did with me. I sighed and looked at him.

"Your sister?" He placed papers in front of me. I hesitated at first but quickly snatched them and read them quickly. It was a birth certificate that said Penelope Weasley. It was signed by Delilah Weasley and Joseph Weasley. "As you can see she isn't your sister. She is a Weasley through and through despite her looks" he ripped the papers from my hands. "Now why don't you run along and practice your quidditch skills".

I scoffed and turned around. As I walked out I closed the door slowly peeking in to see if he did anything suspicious. I watched as he shook his head and grabbed the papers. He still seemed to be hiding something but I wasn't sure what exactly. I was going to dig around and find out.

I spent my whole sixth year following her around and watching her every move. She had befriended two fifth year boys named Sebastian and Ominis. I clenched my jaw anytime she got near him. How could she befriend such a monster and I though back to how they betrayed us long ago. At the same time I started doubting she was actually my sister since she would have known better than to ever trust a Gaunt again.

I witnessed her countless adventures and trials. She can wield ancient magic? As much as I would like to consider this the biggest clue ever I didn't want to rely on it completely. Although it is known that most of Merlin's descendants can wield ancient magic it doesn't mean they all can. There are also instances in where wizards without being one of Merlin's descendants can wield that magic as well. Being Merlin's descendant just gives you a higher chance of being able to wield that magic.

I watched her hang out with her friends from afar and I enjoyed listening to her laughter. She was truly happy and she deserved nothing more than that. One day I noticed her get in a fight with other boys. I was about to go help her but stopped when I noticed Ominis get in front of her. He was protecting her. I was confused to why he would even help her and why she defended him. When she was lifted in the air i panicked I was about to go in full force but stopped again when I noticed Arthur jump in and save her. I sighed wishing I could be there for her.

I heard she was going home that weekend and decided to follow. I stayed a long distance away since I didn't want Professor Weasley to notice me. I watched as they hugged her tightly and welcomed her in. I felt warm tears escape and I smiled knowing she finally found a place to call home. I felt more at ease knowing she will be well taken care of. It was for the best that she didn't know I was here. As much as I longed to hug her once more and to tell her how much I missed her. I couldn't bring my self to do it. Call me crazy but I get this feeling this girl is really my sister. I can feel it.

Professor Black told me I had to take my leave back home for the week. I had to go home and meet with Daria's parents to discuss our future since I only had one more year to go. Of course I wasn't thrilled because I couldn't stand the girl. We hardly ever spoke and all she did was stare at me. She wanted it to be known we were courting but I refused. She went to all my games and tried to sit with me any chance she could. It irked me every time she tried. I knew all she wanted was to fulfill her families desires of having powerful pure blood children. It disgusted me to even think of her. She was no different than them. I knew she probably watched me to inform them if I tried anything funny.

When we arrived back to Hogwarts every student was hysterical and whispering about what had a happened. I tried to listen in carefully to get as much details as I could. My heart sank when they mentioned Penelope saving Hogwarts and how Professor Sharp carried her back unconscious. I quickly dropped my suitcase and ran towards the hospital wing. Why couldn't I be there to protect her. I was a failure as an older brother. When I reached the wing I saw her laughing and playing with Garreth. I sighed and smiled knowing she was okay. From now on I will do my best to keep her safe.
