Petals

Chapter Two

You often visit the green house a few times a day. It gave you a little hope the children being officially five months old. You wish you could see their physical form, but their flowers were enough for now. The news spread rapidly especially since Snape was the father. You two have been conversing so much you two planning a gender reveal party in the main foyer. Multiple teachers all with students have been going on about this along with a baby shower. You can't believe how welcoming they're all of this the children officially being called 'Hogwart babies'. You at first was worried you'll have to retreat to Camp Half Blood, bur it all worked out for the better. There was nothing wrong against the camp, but you loved Hogwarts and your home with Hagrid. He's happy being an uncle talking of it here and there. You never discussed to Hagrid how you're his half sister, but it was a topic you didn't like discussing about. You knew he didn't either having kept it a secret all these years he's truly a son of Gaia. The only reason you came here was because of him always wanting a family. One day, you'll tell him.. the whole truth. That includes who your father is... Voldemort. You're ashamed his dark blood runs through you. You at one point didn't want to be born being the daughter of villains.

You smiled at the little rose seeing a black bud blossoming greatly against it. The purple flower also had a black one while the daisy had a grey. Professor Sprout is unasure what kind of flower it is thinking they might be the first of their species. She even admits they're a good addition to the flower world finding them unique. Magic often wavers off the flowers feeling the atmosphere with this mystic feeling. You smile as you needed to go, bur you suddenly hear a knock at the door Professor Snape revealing himself. The magic picks up in response to their father presence as if they were happy he was there. He asked how his little ones were doing you informing him they were fine. He then asks how you were feeling once again reassuring him. He begins to talk about the gender reveal saying it's officially a week away. You'll have to thank Dumbledore personally.

Severus comes to your side his hand brushing yours as he gently touches their flowers. One even shifted in the pot earning a worried glance between you two. Professor Sprout tells you things were perfectly fine unable to attain her excitement. You looked at the daisy thinking of names once again. Professor Snape becomes bold placing a hand on your lower back smiling at you. You lean into his embrace Sprout wishing she had a camera once again. That's when a student rushes in informing you.. your mother is here! How the hell?! You asked if they were sure Snape becoming nervous to meet the in laws.

" I thought your mother was dead."

" Sorry if I miss inform you Miss Sprout. She's dead to me."

" Oh my."

Professor Snape frowns at this expecting a sad childhood. You wonder if Hagrid has seen her yet and knows your secret. You make your way out to see her coming towards to you Dumbledore at her side hiding his emotions for the woman. You march your way towards the Goddess knowing she came here to see the children. How does she know? She greets you with this sly smile hugging you. It took you everything in you not to push her away. As she backs up, Dumbledore decides to speak.

" I didn't know you were Hagrid's sister."

You just nodded Snape hearing the conversation.

" It's nice to meet you-"

" Who is this?"

She rudely interrupted him.

" The father."

" Whose father?"

She doesn't know of the children?

" Nevermind. Why are you here... mother?"

" It's time for you to represent me. You're needed at Camp Half Blood."

" You're a god?"

Severus was surprised.

" Yes! I'm Gaia. I'm sure you know my status."

" Yes mam. It's a pleasure to meet you."

She nods at him before redirecting her attention back to you.

" Go pack your bags. Your father is waiting-"

" He's suppose to be dead."

You clench your fists.

" I pulled a few strings with Hades. Now go pack your bags. This request isn't optional."

" I'm not going."

You were firm not leaving your children.

" Yes you are. It's time you save the world my dear girl. Cronus has escaped, and we need all hands on deck."

" That's impossible!"

" Apparently not. Now come on."

She turned her back towards her.

" No. I'm a game keeper Gaia. I have to stay here and take care of the forest."

" Hagrid can do that. Stop arguing like a child."

" She has a child. Three to be exact."

Severus decided to take charge. You tensed as your mother slowly turned back around. You hold your ground though.

" Mandrake? You were cursed to have ugly children."

" They're beautiful! I was one, wasn't I?"

" What? You think I put you in a pot?"

She begins laughing at you.

" But then how do I-"

" You were cursed like Hagrid at birth for being my children. That's why Hagrid... looks the way he does. You came out somewhat pretty, so they made sure you could never have children naturally. Pan felt bad for you, so he brought it out of you considering we are made of everything produced from this Earth. I disown them naturally-"

" Dont you realize you're disown?"

" Yes, but I do it with style. Now come on. They can wait. My heels are beginning to sink darling. Let's get this show on the road."

" Leave my sister alone. She's staying here."

" My dear son, it's not that big of a deal. She'll live... probably. We'll have the children to remember her by."

" No. Go."

Hagrid looks at her seriously you wanting to hug him.

" I'll be back with a real teacher to ready her for battle. He father will be happy about the children."

" You won't bring him here!"

The ground cracked beneath you.

" Oh please. He has a full pardon when it comes to the Gods, and we're over this place. He can go whoever he please. He watches you closer than you think."

At that, she turned walking away.

" I'm not Voldemort's daughter!"

You finally let the cat out of the bag. Everyone gasped a bit your mother turning to you one final time finally hitting a nerve.

" He's in your blood child. Don't piss me off today. That's my last and only warning."
