With that said, he glanced around the room and made sure no one was presence. The last thing he wanted was to start rumors. He took out the paper inside the envelope - his mother refused to use rolled up parchment - and began reading...

SPOILER!!: Lucia's Letter

Kennedy,

I lied.

I've kept many things from you and now that you've turned seventeen I feel you are ready to know the truth about our family. About the Escalantes.


Kennedy paused. Allowing what he read so far to settle in. She lied, about what? It was when he read his name that made his stomach tighten and cold sweat run down his back.

SPOILER!!: ...letter continued...

...I want you to understand that everything I did was for your own good.

Our family line traces all the way to Europe. Our ancestors weren't as wealthy as your father's, but they were in great social standings. But, like your father's family, they were wizards and witches as well. Kennedy, you have always been tied to magic, it's been in your blood ever since you were born.

I didn't tell you any of this because I was taught to be ashamed of our family. They sided with the dark side during the second Wizarding War, but what marred our blood was the birth of a squib. It is said that our family was cursed because of all the damage they caused all those years back.

I'm sorry for lying to you all this time. All I wanted was to protect you...


Kennedy stopped reading there. His hands were shaking, making the words on the paper dance. His temples were also throbbing, his head feeling as if it was being pressed between a vise. His mother lied. She lied about everything for seventeen years.

Fury was quickly added to the feeling of disappointment. He crumpled the letter in his hand not bothering to read the rest.

"She lied," he muttered.
After John was finally finished doing his business he approached Kenny. He washed his hands and raised his eyebrows as he was grasping all the information, that was handed to him. But then he heard Kenny's remark about his mother, though John pretended not hear.

"What was that you just said there, buddy?" John needed to certify, that what he had heard was correct. Lucia had lied to Kennedy?

There was so much emotions going on in the eyes of the Slytherin Prince, that John could practically notice from a mile away. Hopefully this won't make things worse, surely there was a good explanation on why Lucia kept this secret from her son. All a mother wants is to keep her children safe...but from what or better yet who?
