I woke up the next day, early so I can make up the lost time from yesterday. I put on my skirt, button up my shirt, grabbed my tie and headed out. The halls were empty. Nobody was seen. It was early. I made my way to my fathers classroom, hes usually up by this time and getting the classroom ready for the next class.

"She doesn't know." I heard just as I walked in. I stood back, listening. What? Whos she.

"Does Daphne know about her Severus?" Dumbledore. Whats he doing here? Of course its about me.

"Not yet. She's already in danger by being here."

"What did the letter say?"

"Everything." I came out from the shadows and appeared. My father stood up straight, making Dumbledore turn around. They knew I knew.

"I should leave you be, get your class ready." Dumbledore excused himself out, closing the door behind him.

"Is there anything you want to say?" I said crossing my arms.

"Daphne." I put out my hand out, stopping him.

"What cant i know? Im done hearing about this." I slammed my books onto the table. "Why am I in danger? And dont try to change it, dont say, 'im trying to protect you', because we all know what happened next. So spit it out or ill use veritaserum." he sighs. I was done. Me, standing, crossing my arms, with a mad look, tapping my foot. "If you even care about me you would've told me!" I saw the letter on his desk, i ran for it, grabbing it. My father was too slow. "Is this the letter Dumbledore was talking about?"

"Dont."

"Why? Its in my name." I studied the letter. The envelope was black, white cursive writing. It only said Daphne Lilith. "I should open it."

"Its from your mother." He blurts out. My face softens. Her.

"Theres no way." I pushed away. "She had nothing to do with me, and now sixteen years later she wants back in? No. I dont believe it." He walks up to me.

"Fiona Scarlet Cox." My head went up. Fiona Cox. Lucas and Katherines sister. "Your mothers name is Fiona Cox." I shook my head. No. "Katherines and Lucas' sister."

"No." I whispered. "They said that she ran away."

"She escaped Azkaban last year. Shes in the wind. That is why i sent you to with the Malfoys." This cant be happening. "She was the reason you got the mark." I looked down at my covered arm. "She killed Cedric for you." I closed my eyes in disbelief. That was her. She was there? I cant. "Shes looking for you. I cant let that happen."

"Why was she in Azkaban?" I said coldly.

"She was there when he killed Potters parents. She took the blame. She might've killed James Potter." I felt like I was going to vomit. She helped killed Potters parents.

"And you hid this from me?" I pointed at myself. "Theres a woman who wants to probably kill me and you all didn't said a word."

"She doesn't want to kill you. She wants you to become who she is." Even better. She's a psycho. "Daphne, dont ever think i would do such a thing." I bit my lip, trying to hold it in. Why is this my life?

"Does Lucas and Katherine know?" He nods. "And what are you guys doing to protect me from her?"

"Dumbledore has it covered. Trust-" I scuffed at him.

"Trust." I put the letter in my textbook. "Dont ever hide things from me ever again. The truth always finds it way back." I stormed out of the class. Class was going to start soon and I made it to Professor McGonagall's. I slammed my books onto the desk, making Draco and the others jump. Potter turns around, not completely but he managed to see me.
