Victoria’s POV

A couple days have passed. Christmas is a week and a half away away. I sighed and looked at my breakfast. I hadn't told Willow about what had happened. She'd freak out. "Mails in" Willow said. I looked up. Owls swept in. I sighed again. "Whoa, that's a big package" Willow said nudging me. I looked up. The owl was black and carried a big box in its claws. The owl came down toward me. It was for me. I saw my name on the bottom. I put my hands up and collected the box. "Uh, thanks" I said. The owl hooted and soared off once again. "Whoa, Vikki" Willow said. On the top was a note. I took the note off and opened it.

Victoria,

I think it's time this dress was worn.

P.S. I got some of your old jewelry. Hope you like them.

"Who in the world?" Willow asked. I knew who it was. I smiled. I took the lid off and saw some tissue paper over it. I moved it and saw it was the green dress from the store. Like the one in flashback when I was with Snape. I couldn't believe it. "Whoa" Willow said. "What you got there, Vikki?" I heard Fred ask. I took the dress out and held it up to myself. "Wow, who sent you that?" George asked. "I don't know. Completely anonymous" I lied. "You have jewelry in here too. And shoes" Willow said. She held the dress as I looked in the box. I saw a emerald necklace and matching earrings. "Had to be a Slytherin. No way anyone else would choose so much green" Fred said.

"Come on. Let's take it to the common room" Willow said. We gathered everything and headed up to the common room. "Okay. Who sent it?" She asked. "I seriously don't know. But I have my guesses" I said. "Well whoever it was has been watching you. I mean, they got everything. Shoes, everything. That's creepy Vi" she said. "Yeah" I said quietly. I was starting to get very hot. I looked over to Willow. “Will. Your hair's on fire.” I said. She looked up and sighed. “Sorry. This is just starting to urk me.” She said.

She looked all around. “Ok. You gotta promise you won’t tell anyone about this. Ok?” She asked pulling out a mirror. “Umm. Ok.” I said. She looked down at the mirror. “Dad? Oi! Dad!” She said to it. After a bit I saw Sirius. He looked worried. “Hey baby girl. Everything ok?” He asked. “That’s so cool.” I said. Willow smiled. “Kinda. Umm. Vikki isn’t doing too well.” She said. “What do you mean?” He asked. Willow looked at me.

“I have been getting flashbacks of when-” I said. Sirius cut me off. “Of when you were married to Severus?” He asked. “Umm. How did you know?” I asked. “And why didn’t you tell us!?” Willow asked. “Dumbledore.” He said. Like THAT cleared everything up. It seemed to be enough for Willow though. “So you know who my real parents are?” I asked. He nodded. “Yeah. Voldemort and Bellatrix.” He said. Willow almost dropped the mirror. “WHAT!? Victoria is related to us!?” She said. “Yeah. 2nd cousins.” He said. “Well I guess that clears some stuff up.” Willow said. “And one more thing. Do you know might have sent this to me?” I asked showing him the clothing. He smiled. “I would say yourself! It is your stuff after all! Now I got to go. I would tell Dumbledore everything you can remember of your flashbacks.” He said to me. “Bye love. See you later.” He said to Willow. “Bye Dad.” Willow said looking sad.

She put the mirror away sighing. We looked at each other. “The funny thing is you look nothing like either one of them. Nor your muggle parents.” She said. “You look more like Harry’s mom. Maybe thats why Snape likes you” She said with a laugh as she knocked on the common room door. I knew Lily. I knew all of them.  “I am tall when I am young and I grow shorter with age. What am I?” The knocker asked. “A candle.” I said. The door opened. “Let’s take our stuff up and then talk to Dumbledore.” Willow said. “Kay.” I said.

We headed to Dumbledore’s office. I saw the gargoyle. “Sherbet lemon.” I said. It didn’t move. “It seems like it changed. Hmm. Harry told me that it is always sweets.” Willow said. “Miss Kenn? Miss Black? What are you two doing here?” It was Mad Eye. “Umm. We need to talk to the Headmaster.” Willow said. “I see. The password is Jamie Dodger.” He said. The gargoyle moved. “Thanks Professor!” We said. And we headed up to Dumbledore’s office. We pasted Harry on the way up. “Hey Harry! Doing alright?” Willow asked. He just nodded and kept on going down. Rude.

We got to Dumbledore’s office. I wondered what he would say. Probably that he knew everything already. We knocked. “Come in.” Dumbledore said. We came in. I loved his office. So many little knick knacks. I saw that he had a bird on his desk. “Hello Miss Kenn. Hello Miss Black. I take it you are here because you are remembering your past.” He said looking over his half moon glasses. I nodded.

He got up. The big bird flew up and landed on Willow’s shoulder. She looked surprised. “Hullo there Fawkes. Umm.” She said. Dumbledore chuckled. “He can tell you can use fire. He might see you as another phoenix.” He said. She looked up smiling. Dumbledore came over to me. “Can you show me the back of your neck?” He asked. “Umm. Sure.” I said pulling up my hair.

“Hmm. It has faded a bit. I don’t know if you remember but your father marked you so this would happen. He must have thought that you wouldn’t be accepted back to Hogwarts.” He said. I put my hair back down. “But why would I be able to come back?” I asked. “The ministry kept you from coming here for the first four years. They wanted to see what would happen. They blocked out your memory and gave you a new backstory” He said.

“The ministry was full of death eaters back then Vikki. He didn’t know that the next time you came of age that you would be a ‘muggleborn’.” Willow said rubbing Fawkes. She then smiled. “Boy Malfoy is in for a surprise.” She said. Dumbledore just shook his head. “You are just like you father Willow.” He said. “I try.” She said smiling. “You know that’s a double edged sword. You are right up there with the Weasley twins. And I do believe that those two could give your father and James a run for their money.” He said. She laughed. “Well maybe we should send them back via timeturner.” She said. He chuckled. “Now that would be a sight.” He said. There was something he wasn’t telling us. Maybe it was about the time turners.

He then went back to his desk. “Miss Kenn. You will be safe here. Voldemort has no power to attack Hogwarts.” He said. Willow looked uneasy. Fawkes flew back to Dumbledore. “Now you two should head back down. I have heard that you have plans for the Yule ball.” He said smiling. “Bye Professor!” We said heading out.

I poked Willow. “Hey. What’s up?” I asked. I hoped she wasn’t about to take off into the woods again. “It’s just what Dumbledore said. He said You-Know-Who has no power to attack HOGWARTS. Seeing how he kinda attacked twice since Harry has been here I’m not so sure.” She said. She had a point. “Well he isn’t back yet so we might as well enjoy ourselves.” I said.
