Crows

We made it inside of Hogwarts, Draco had finally decided to put me down. Everyone just looked at us, we walked to the hall I sat next to Draco. Dumbledore smiled and began to speak,

''Hello everyone and welcome back to a new year at Hogwarts please have a safe and wonderful year,'' he said and with that everyone began to eat. I wasn't really hungry so I just sat there a talked to everyone sitting at the Slytherin table I could feel someone stair at me, I looked up to see who is was, it was Snape he just kept looking at me. I sighed and continued to talk, after a while it was time to head to back to our common room. Draco walked beside me, everyone was already gone then someone grabbed my arm. I turned around, Snape.

''what is it Snape?'' I asked a bit shocked. Draco stopped and stood next to me,

''Come with me,'' he said.

''okay Draco go ahead I'll see you tomorrow,'' I told him, Draco seemed shocked by Snape's actions.

''okay I'll be see you tomorrow be careful,'' he said as he walked off. I followed Snape who lead me to his office,

''Show me your left arm,'' he told me. How did he know I sighed and lifted my sleeve and there it was the mark,

''why?'' he asked me. I didn't say anything,

''Lyndell please reply,'' he said in a caring tone.

''to protect someone,'' I replied, I looked at him and I can tell he knows who I'm talking about.

''he said if I bare the mark he wouldn't hurt him or he's parents,'' I added. Snape waked closer to me and placed his hand on my shoulder,

''but he'll hurt you instead,'' Snape said.

''I know,'' I told him, he looked sadden but the choice I made. Draco has been nice and kind to me, he didn't want this and he doesn't deserve this. I have no family that will be hurt or in danger if I choose a wrong path,

''Lyndell has anyone told you about your family?'' Snape brought up, the question shocked me a bit but I didn't know anything about them or anything really.

''no one knows who they are other than the fact they died in a car accident,'' I replied I asked the Weasley's they have no clue who the Crow family were.

''I knew your mother she was beautiful and quite intelligent,'' he said as he turned around and looked out the window,

''you look exactly like her,''' he added.

''what was her name?'' I asked as I walked towards him,

''Isabella,'' he said in a tone which sounded like he was holding back tears.

''she died 14 years ago she was a full blood who fell in love with someone who got her killed, your father loved your mother but he wasn't good he was involved with bad people who used your mother against him and one day he didn't listen and she was gone,'' he said with tears,

''who was my father involved with?'' I asked.

''Tom Riddle,'' he said with a sigh,

''who is my father?'' I asked him.

''I am....'' he replied as he looked at me I was shocked and I didn't know how to react. I just stood there,

''I didn't know about you she hide the fact she was pregnant from me and gave you to an orphanage but when she died I found a letter telling me about you and everything,'' he told me.

''I got you from the orphanage and you've been staying here by permission from Professor Dumbledore,'' he added, I just sunk to the floor I didn't know how to react I just began to cry. I pulled my knees to my chest and sobbed harder. I could hear Snape walk towards me and he knelt down in front of me and hugged me, I just cried and cried. Snape then picked me up and placed me on a chair, after that I stopped crying a bit.

''Lyndell I'm sorry to ask this but are you feeling dizzy?'' he asked me,

''I have been feeling dizzy tonight,'' I told him.

''here take this,'' he said as he pulled a container of purple pills out and placed them in to my hand,

''why are you asking me?'' I asked him.

''your mother wasn't just a beautiful witch she was also a werewolf,'' he told me,

''so that means I could be one or-''

''or gain abilities of them yes but cause your feeing dizzy when there is a full moon you must not look at the moon,'' he interrupted me. I then hugged him, he was the only family I have left.

''so why aren't I allowed to look at the moon?'' I asked still hugging him,

''you'll see the things like your biggest fear and the people who have hurt you,'' he told me. My biggest fear I wonder what that really is, I pulled back from the hug and he placed a picture in to my hand.

''I found it while going through her things,'' he said, I opened it a girl was holding a baby. The girl looked like me, my mother sure was a beautiful girl.

''well I should go to bed cause I have classes tomorrow,'' I said as I put the photo in to my pocket, I pulled down my sleeve.

''I have to teach your class tomorrow so I'll see you tomorrow,'' he said with a smile, he looked so different when he has a smile.

''okay see father,'' I said as I walked out the door, I quickly ran to the Slytherin Common room without getting caught, I walked inside and saw that Draco was asleep on the lounge I smiled. I walked up to him and noticed you could slightly see his mark. I grabbed a blanket from the other lounge, I pulled down his sleeve and placed the blanket on top of him. I then went to bed thinking about the day and what I found out.
