A/N: FYI, there will be swearing in this chapter. Not much, but still some. And the top pic is Seraphina, the bottom is Alistair
Harry and I turn around with our wands at the ready. "Who are you? Harry–NO-Ronan says threateningly.
"Your parents. You can lower your wands." The mysterious woman, who I assume, is our birth mother says stepping into the light. She's probably 6'2" with hair similar to mine, but instead of fading it's just deep red. Ro has her beautiful purple eyes.
"Hello, Mum. Finally come to visit, I see." I say, with venom dripping from every word.
"Yes," Ronan says putting his arm around me protectively. "I must say, it's wonderful meeting you for the first time in 17 years."
"Now Ronan, Isla... there's no need to speak to your mother like that." Says a man with long wavy black hair, gold eyes, and about 6'4"
"Ah, Dad! Fancy seeing you here! Even though we have never met." Ro seethes.
"Ro, Let's let them explain themselves," I say, staring into my mother's eyes. "After all, after 17 years you and I bloody well deserve one." I glance at Ro for approval, and he nods. "Shall we go to my house? It'll be nice and private, then Mum and I can make lunch, while you two talk." Everyone nods. "Let's side along apparate," I look at Ronan. "You take dad Ro, and I'll take mum."
I grab my mom's hand, and two seconds later we were in the kitchen of my Muggle parents' house. When Ro and Dad appear not a second later Ronan pulls me aside. "Iz, what the hell are you doing? We don't even know these people! They could be bloody death eaters for all we know!"
I roll my eyes, "Don't you think I realize that? What do you take me for? And as for what I'm doing, they're telling us that they are our parents, and I, as a parentless child want to see if that's true. And if it is, I am also going to find out why we were hidden, why they aren't dead, even when they were killed, and why we are being told all of this now!" I join my parents. "What are we thinking for lunch?"
"SPAGHETTI!" My idiot brother yells.
"As long as there's meat sauce to go with it." My dad states simply and then follows Ronan into the living room.
Mum laughs. "Well, I guess we had better get to work!"
I simply nodded and start the process of boiling the water. "We can do the rest while the noodles are cooking, so, we have a couple of minutes to talk." I gesture for her to sit, "Would you like something to drink?"
"No, thank you, dear." She says inviting me to sit and join her, "What is it you want to talk about?"
"Why did you hide us away? Why was I not living with you when Voldemort tried to kill Harry?"
She folds her hands on the table and avoids looking anywhere near me. "You were... but I had hidden..." Tears begin to fall on her cheeks. "I thought he would – you were –... you were hidden in the attic with your godparents... I wanted to protect you... because... you were... supposed to be The Chosen One Isla."
