Their Secret (Harry Potter Fanfic)

Part 8

Hisa stood staring at the people walking by while waiting for Dumbledore, the world really hadn't changed that much since she was last in a city, then again it hadn't been more than 15 years since the orphanage.

I wonder what Dumbledore would say if he knew i was 20 years old? Hisa thought too herself, she smiled slightly.

"What are you smiling about Hisa" Dumbledore asked.

Hisa stiffened and said coldly "Nothing that you need to concern yourself with, it was simply a stray thought"

"I see" he sighed slightly "I get the impression that you do not like me Hisa"

"I have no opinion of you one way or the other, I do not know you Professor" Hisa answered

He looked at her for a moment, then nodded and started walking towards Eeylops Owl Emporium.

"Professor why are we walking to Eeylops, i have no need off or funds to bye an owl"

"What do you mean Hisa?" He asked

"I don't have any money and i have no one to write to, as you should know, I am an orphan and have been living alone for some time in that cottage" Hisa answered

"I see" He said "Hisa may i ask you, what is your last name? You see normally when a letter is sent out we know both a first and a last name for a potential student, but with you it was only your first name, why is that?"

"That is simple Professor" she answered "I have no last name, i never did"

Dumbledore looked at her questioning

She sighed.

"As far as I know I was disowned by both my parents, therefore I have no family and will not show op in any records" She answered. That was of course not the whole truth, she didn't know if her family had disowned her, but just to be on the safe side she had done it herself, with magic anything is possible, she smiled inwardly, but never let it touch her face, that remained completely neutral.

He looked at her a moment too long and she figured she may have said to much so she added "That is at least how i think it is, they never gave me a last name in the letter I was left with and I don't remember, so i just assumed they had removed me somehow"

He looked slightly relieved that she didn't know much about that magical practice, that you could remove unwanted relatives, though the pain of that spell was almost indescribable. It took the unwanted relatives blood connection and severed it, therefore through she was technically a 'mudblood' she was actually a pureblood now that her mother was no longer a blood relative of hers.

It was very dark magic and was no longer even spoken about, but she knew, and that knowledge might be useful someday.

"Are you sure you do not want an owl Hisa" He asked.

"Very sure, But thank you for the offer" She said while plastering on a sweet and very innocent smile on her face.

It would probably be best to act my age from now on, at least until i find someone i can show my true self to. She thought
