Chapter Fourteen
Deception
Mel and Indie stared in shock and then Mel shouted just as the woman opened her mouth to speak.
“Scorpius, she’s here!” She turned to Indie her face pale, as was hers.
They both looked at there mother striding towards them as a tall blonde haired figure opened the door and stepped in front of them.
“Elizabeth stop” he stared directly at her ignoring those around him, she drew her wand and stepped forward pointing it at his heart.
“Why are you here?” she spoke angrily staring back into his eyes as Scorpius came out and stood behind his father.
“To see my son, and tell him about his new sisters” He replied calmly not bothering to draw his own wand.
“So why are my daughters here, you dishonoured our agreement” She looked at him loathingly, a sneer on her angry face.
“I did nothing of the sort, I merely came to see my son but it just so happened he had already figured out who they were” a smile played across his lips as he spoke again “He’s a smart boy, I had nothing to do with him finding out he just noticed there similarities and it seems there eager to get to know me and him”
He glanced at Jasper who stood behind Elizabeth wand drawn “Dating there teacher, I guess there not very happy about it”
Elizabeth’s face became enraged but she stayed rooted to the spot, she looked around to see why couldn’t she move and noticed Indie and Mel unblinking staring at her there faces pale and without emotion.
She couldn’t move but she could still speak ,“I was worried about you two when you neve replied to my last letter so I thought I’d come and surprise you, but I find you consorting with this monsters son, and ignoring my warnings about him”
“You lied to us” Mel breaking eye contact, but Indie never wavered still holding her mother still which now included stopping her mouth from spouting more lies.
“You pretended to us he never wanted to see us, but he does” Mel said drawing her own wand and pointed at her mother. Draco didn’t move but spoke still staring at Elizabeth calmly, “I’ve wanted to see you the last thirteen years, I was never allowed your mother is a very able witch”
Indie relinquished her grip over her mother who was shaking with anger as she spoke,
“Liar” She spat fuming with rage “You never wanted to know, I told you about them and you ran off to that Granger woman and got yourself put in Azkaban when she went back to her Auror boyfriend”
“And yet you fail to mention that under a year later, I was married and came to see you pleading with you to let me see them to which you turned to magic” Draco replied.
Her wand was still at his chest, but then Indie drew her own and stepped forward with her sister, both their wands now pointing at there mother.
“How could you do this to us?” Shouted Mel
“Very easily apparently” Finished Indie, her eyes were filled with tear’s she dare not shed.
“I’m sorry” Elizabeth carried on pointing her wand as the girls came closer.
“SORRY” shouted Mel “YOU THINK SORRY IS GOING TO FIX THIS”
“Imelda, please clam your sister down I just want to talk to you about this” Elizabeth said still focused on Draco,
“I’m not Imelda, I’m Indigo” Smirked Indie as they came closer to her and Elizabeth lowered her wand at her mistake,
“See you lived with us all those year’s and you still can’t tell us apart” said Mel the rage building up her eyes watering.
“Im sorry girls” She lowered her wand completely and looked at them,
Mel continued “That right, we’re girls now you can’t remember which is which”
“I never wanted to hurt you” her own eyes began to well as she looked away from them, they kept there wands focused on her.
“But you did” Said Mel
“You have done so, everyday you kept him from us”
Indie spoke her voice filled with venom “You used magic to keep him away, all these years you have robbed us of a father when you knew all along he wanted to be there with us”
“HE MAY NOT HAVE WANTED YOU, BUT HE WANTED US” Mel shouted at her mother. They walked to towards her forcing her back toward Jasper who stood in shock taking in everything.
“Here take her away, she’s not our mother” Indie and Mel said together there word’s exactly the same, the anger in there voices laced with hatred. Elizabeth collapsed on the floor, crouched in a heap.
“Im your mother” she whispered “I was trying to protect you from him”
“From what” Scoffed Indie
“He’s our dad” concluded Mel.
They turned to see him smiling at them “You don’t know how long I’ve waited to here you say that”
“Yes we do, we waited with you” they smiled and walked towards him as he held his arms out to embrace them, just as there was a flash of red light.
