"Ah, Miss Po-Carran. Please come in."

I did so. Dumbledore sat down behind the desk in front of me.

"Now, I believe you may have some questions for me?"

"Just a few."

"Go ahead."

"Why can I see Threstrals if I haven't seen death?"

He sighed. "Well, that's the thing; you have. Your mother was rather scared if your father, and when he requested to hold Death Eater meetings at your house, she didn't refuse. They were killing a person who betrayed them and you walked in. Your father performed a poorly done memory charm to make you forget, but of course it didn't really work. It finally wore off this year."

"Why do you keep on calling me Potter?"

"You may not want to hear this, especially after everything you've been through tonight, but you do look extremely like your father. As I am an ageing man, I do sometimes get confused of who you are."

"Where did you go when you disappeared?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that; it's between Harry and myself. He may choose to tell you later on, but I haven't even told him yet. He finds out later."

"How did you not know that my father was a Death Eater?"

"Well, I didn't expect it. He was a Slytherin, but wasn't disowned, as he always stood up for people like a Gryffindor, and never bullied. Until his fifth year, when he got into a bad crowd. He never discussed any plans if joining dark forces while he was at Hogwarts, but there were rumours years after which I chose to ignore."

"That's all. Thanks Professor, I feel more at peace now."

"You're welcome my dear girl. Please come and talk to me if you ever need anything."

"Don't worry, I will."

I was very quiet during the leaving feast. I had quite a few things on my mind.

My whole life, I had been missing him, believing him to be dead, and then I find out he's been alive all this time? And why does he want to kill me?

I guess that's one thing to ask my mum when I get home.

Another thing; he was evil, he was a Death Eater...yet my mum still stayed with him. Still went on to have me. Was still married to him for 3 years... I guess that's what love does to you. It makes you weak, but stronger too. I hope my love for Draco is as strong as that...

Next is the final chapter!

I'm actually getting a bit emotional...
