Work as usual [kelsey]

[harrypotter]

Harry stayed knelled in front of her as she took slow, deep breaths, trying to calm herself. After a few passing moments, she had stopped crying and proceeded to speak. "I.. I'm fine. I just got a little shocked about the.. well you know the last memory. I really tried to block them but it hit me with such force. I know I can do it I just can't seem to do it right now," He nodded softly, understanding completely, and yet rather proud that she didn't feel like she couldn't accomplish it.

"I want to try again. I know I can do better," She had told him, and he was rather proud once again. Standing and walking back to his place he admired her work ethic. Maybe she would make a great Auror like himself one day? This time Harry watched her as she relaxed closing her eyes as she tried to clear her thoughts. He knew she'd have to learn how to do it in a flash later on, but for now she seemed to be doing quite well. He raised the famous Holly wand again, giving it a flick. "Legilimens!" he said, now putting some feeling into the spell.

Screams and then silence was what Harry heard as he was sucked back into nothing. For a good whole ten seconds it seemed she was winning as he was pulled back into the room, watching her struggle in the chair, but he spoke too soon as he was forced back immediately, her memories now flooding into the scene.

Black fog, and then the hallways of the castle. Harry stood as he watched his son and his wife, sliding across the hallway, throwing little fits of laughter. It brought a warm smile to his face, seeing that at least one of his kids was at least happy in all this mess. Soon enough, a professor came and the memory shifted once again.

Now he was standing in the familiar headmasters office, the pictures of Albus Dumbledore, and Severus Snape hanging on the walls along with the other famous headmasters. He saw Kelsey, talking to her father, Robert. The man looked well from what he could tell, but he also knew where his allegiance laid. He could really hear what they were talking about at first, but then Robert started yelling, cursing his daughter that she was making a mistake for being with Harry's son. Kelsey then broke the news to him of the marriage, and Robert started to make his way for the door, ready to kill James.


Now another memory came along, this time in the Leaky Cauldron. Kelsey was sitting with a hooded figure, and they were talking. Harry, now wanting to know what was going on, walked over to the table, passing through people as if he were a ghost. As soon as he hit the table he heard the hood figure say it's true identity. Bellatrix Lestrange. His eye widened and his new found color in his face ran once again. It all happened so fast, that he could only make out the word lessons.

He pulled himself instantly from the memory, lifting the spell, his wand now aiming for her chest instead of her head. "Tell me now where your allegiance lies." He said rather calmly. This was just great. The last thing he needed now was his son marrying a death eater! He kept his wand pointed at her chest, speaking again before she could answer. "I will not allow these lessons to continue, and I can find the truth if you are lying Ms. LeBlanc." he said, rather coldly, refusing to give her the Potter name now.

<sup>Kelsey sat on the chair, looking at the ground. Shame rang over her, really regretting that Harry had seen this memory. It was a rather a stupid thing she had did at that time. She would have to make him understand. That was the last thing she needed was Harry flipping Potter on her case trying to kill her. Kelsey flinched at the anger in his voice as he pointed the wand to her chest. Kelsey raised her eyes to look at him so he would know that she was telling the truth.

"I am not with the Death Eaters. See, No dark mark," Kelsey said, rolling up the sleeve on her left arm to show him the bare, markless flesh. She even rubbed it a bit to show that there was no makeup hiding the mark. Kelsey sat for a moment in silence. Her eyes showed nothing but hurt and devastation. Not even James knew about her meeting with Bellatrix. If he found out it would be a catastrophe.

"You have to understand. When I met Bellatrix, it.. it was a rather difficult time in my life. My family hated me. I was always alone. I didn't really have any friends and I was confused. She offered to make me something great and I was foolish enough to accept. Then James and I started to get closer and I wasn't going to go back. However, when he kissed Alyson, I changed. I was possessed and my thoughts were altered. When I regained control of my body I was a mess. Bellatrix.. She had owled me to meet with her. So I did. She showed me things, and I got scared. Then James and I got back together and I realized that what I did was so stupid. I never went back there I promise! You have to believe me, I am not with the death eaters, though they have been trying to recruit me. I didn't know at the time why, but now I do and I refuse to join," Kelsey said, her eyes pleading for Harry to believe her. Yet again her eyes watered up as she hoped and hoped that Harry would not kill her.</sup>

[harrypotter]

Thoughts ran through his mind as he stood there, wand pointed at her chest. How could he have been so blind? So naive? He watched as she gather herself after the attack on her mind, raising her eyes to meet him as she spoke. "I am not with the Death Eaters. See, No dark mark," He watched as she rolled up the sleeve on her shirt, showing no mark. Harry felt rather bad at this point, but still kept his wand up. Mark or no mark, she could still be one of them, she is a Horcrux.

"You have to understand. When I met Bellatrix, it.. it was a rather difficult time in my life. My family hated me. I was always alone. I didn't really have any friends and I was confused. She offered to make me something great and I was foolish enough to accept. Then James and I started to get closer and I wasn't going to go back. However, when he kissed Alyson, I changed. I was possessed and my thoughts were altered. When I regained control of my body I was a mess. Bellatrix.. She had owled me to meet with her. So I did. She showed me things, and I got scared. Then James and I got back together and I realized that what I did was so stupid. I never went back there I promise! You have to believe me, I am not with the death eaters, though they have been trying to recruit me. I didn't know at the time why, but now I do and I refuse to join,"

Her eyes were now filled with tears, and he lowered his wand. He could tell now she wasn't lying. He flicked the wand that laid at his side, a chair sliding over to him. He took a seat, burying his face in his hands. Now he felt like an asshole. He clasped his hands together and looked up at her, no smile on his face, his eyes cold. "I'm sorry, you must forgive me. It's just hard to know whats what anymore." He told her, now thinking about Lily. "Lessons over for today, just when you go to bed tonight, try and close your mind so Bellatrix can't plant any visions within you." He said, now looking down at the ground.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

<sup>Kelsey was relieved when Harry believed her. She felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. As she sat there, thinking upon everything, she realized that there was so much she was keeping from James. How could a marriage be based upon this? Kelsey hated keeping things from James but she did it to protect him. That and she was a very private person. She didn't reveal anything to just anyone. It was really hard for Kelsey to talk about feelings to people.

"Its fine, Mr. Potter. I understand completely. You had reason to be suspicious. I mean look at the family I come from. I am such a screw up that it is expected of me to do something so stupid as to join the death eaters. I would not do that to James though. His love means more to me than anything and I would not throw it all away for a feeling of power," Kelsey said, her eyes roaming everywhere. Kelsey always had such a difficult time keeping eye contact with people. She felt as though people were staring right into her when they looked into her eyes and it freaked her out.

"So does this mean that you are still going to teach me? I can't do this without you. I promise I won't let Bellatrix get to me like that again," Kelsey said, hoping that Harry would still teach her. She would not know what to do on her own without his help. She was tired of feeling scared and lost. For once she wanted to feel secure. As Kelsey sat there, a thought dawned on her that made her go pale.

"What.. What if they kidnap me? I heard that is what they used to do before was kidnap people they needed? What if they ask me to join them and I refuse, then they kidnap me? Would they do that?" Kelsey asked, panic spreading through her voice as she looked at Harry with her fear filled eyes yet again. Kelsey knew Bellatrix was insane and that she would do anything and everything to get what she wanted. What if what she wanted was Kelsey? Would she stop at nothing to get it?</sup>

[harrypotter]

Harry gave a slight sigh. He was starting to get extremely paranoid once again. How could he not though? His own bloody daughter was a Death Eater! She didn't trust anyone anymore, not even him, and Harry was pretty sure now that she only stopped her ways cause she didn't want the baby to end up like another Harry, two dead parents and a false idol for the wizarding world. Though in reality Harry wasn't a false idol, he just hated how everyone thought of him as such a big thing. Yes, he killed a man, a very powerful man, but in the end if you were in his shoes wouldn't you do the same?

His attention turned to her though as she spoke up, letting him know it was fine that he freaked out. He felt kinda relieved at this. She said she wouldn't do anything like that to hurt James, which meant that he didn't have to worry about her becoming a Death Eater. Score one for Harry! He was going to need a bunch more scoring though if he was going to catch up to Bellatrix, his daughter, and their little gang of misfits.

She spoke again asking if Harry would still teach her, but before he could open his moth to reply she spoke, her face now just as pale as his. "What.. What if they kidnap me? I heard that is what they used to do before was kidnap people they needed? What if they ask me to join them and I refuse, then they kidnap me? Would they do that?" He sighed a bit. "Right now is not the time to worry about such an event." Harry replied, very calmly. Since when had he become so wise? Maybe it was because he had someone actually looking up to him for once. "I will still teach you of course, we both can't afford for Bellatrix to keep her little tricks up." And that was true, they couldn't. One more slip up and it was game, set, and match. The war would only be two seconds long and she would win.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

<sup>Kelsey seemed to always be worrying about one thing or another. She could never seem to relax and just be worry free. Kelsey really hated that. For once she just wanted to have a stress free day and not have to worry about anything. With her life, that was not a possibility. She always was worrying about one thing or another. It was mental, really. Life hated her, it was as simple as that.

"Not the time to worry? I can't help but worry! I am always worrying about something! I hate it! I swear I myself will be admitted into the mental institution very soon if my life doesn't start to get better!" Kelsey ranted, her whole everything going on over drive. Kelsey tended to rant a lot when she was confused or angry or worried. it was the only way she knew how to cope with the situation.

"Thank you. I really appreciate you teaching me! It means a lot to me, really. It gives me some sense that I can stop whatever is happening to me. Now I just need to find a way to get this horcrux out of me without dying," Kelsey said, thinking out loud. There had to be a way to get the horcrux out of her without dying. Kelsey would not even think of that option. Sure it worked for Harry but not for her. She would have to research, that was for sure. Kelsey yawned a bit, her lack of sleep catching up to her. All she wanted was one good night of sleep. It would be amazing.</sup>

[harrypotter]

Harry gave a soft chuckle as she ranted about worrying. He knew exactly how he felt. Now that he found out his daughter was pregnant and a Death Eater, he kept waiting for the day the coin in his pocket vibrated and Bellatrix was on her way, attempting to kill Lily and the baby. He was now constantly looking over his shoulder, making sure that Jack wasn't three steps behind him, ready to kill him cause Harry had killed his alleged father. Now the the addition of Kelsey tot he family, he would now be constantly worried about her and James, hoping that Bellatrix didn't storm into the castle, kill her father, and kidnap her.

"Thank you. I really appreciate you teaching me! It means a lot to me, really. It gives me some sense that I can stop whatever is happening to me. Now I just need to find a way to get this horcrux out of me without dying," She told him as his thoughts snapped back into place. Harry smiled warmly at her as he stood, about to dismiss the lesson. "You are quite welcome. You are a Potter now, so it is no problem. Think of it as my late wedding gift." he chuckled and gave a rather friendly wink at her. He watched as she yawned, and ushered her to the door, but grabbed her wrist before she could leave.

"Can you answer just one more thing for me?" Harry asked, his eyes in a pleading manner. "Does she have any more Horcuxes..." He needed to know if this would be another dual between Horcruxes and Hallows, or if something greater was now at bay.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

<sup>Kelsey yawned yet again, knowing that she should go back to the castle and get some sleep. By the look of the sky it was certain that she had missed all of the rest of her classes. Kelsey didn't care though. Today would have been her first day back to classes since the attack and she just couldn't handle it yet. Missing one more day wouldn't hurt her. Kelsey was smart so it would be easy for her to catch up to all of it. She didn't mind the work, it would just be the people that she could not handle. To everyone's acknowledgment, Kelsey had been sick in bed with the flu for the past couple of days. Only the select few knew about what really happened to her and that is how she planned on keeping it.

"Well then thank you, dad," Kelsey said with a little wink and a giggle. It felt kinda weird saying that to Harry but yet it also felt kinda right. Her whole heart was filling up with glee at what Harry had just said. She felt like she belonged somewhere now, that she was no longer alone. She was a Potter now. Kelsey Potter. That name still sounded a little weird to her. For now she would still be known as Kelsey LeBlanc, at least until everything died down a bit. Kelsey thought of this as she walked towards the door, ready to leave and floo back to the castle. However, she was stopped by Harry grabbing her wrist. She knew as soon as he did this that it would be serious.

"I.. I honestly don't know. I just know that I am one. But you have to understand this. Bellatrix, she isn't as heartless as Voldemort was. She could love, and fall in love hard. The possibility of her tearing her soul more than once or twice is very unlikely. She wouldn't be able to live with the empty feeling," Kelsey said, her knowledge of Bellatrix coming out. She knew a lot about the witch, having spent countless hours researching about her. She knew Bellatrix would only have one or two.</sup>

[harrypotter]

Harry chuckled at her little joke and smiled rather warmly. He was glad he was actually warming up to her and she was doing the same for him. Yes, he was still now rather flustered about the whole marriage, but he could see now that it would help her in her quest with this Horcrux, giving her emotional support that Harry had, and needed when he was on the same quest. But, at the same time he couldn't help but feel that she wasn't the hero or well heroine of this story. His scar prickled at the idea now, and he started to ponder on it.

He was cut off though as she spoke. "I.. I honestly don't know. I just know that I am one. But you have to understand this. Bellatrix, she isn't as heartless as Voldemort was. She could love, and fall in love hard. The possibility of her tearing her soul more than once or twice is very unlikely. She wouldn't be able to live with the empty feeling," He gave a soft nod. So she could love? Now thinking about it, Harry saw that it was possible she could. She did love her old master, and had a child by him from what he's heard so far now. He let go of her wrist and opened the door for her. "I'll see you here at the same time tomorrow." he said with a smile, watching as she walked out.

He closed the door as soon as she left and locked it. There was something more to this story. If it was so true that Bellatrix had a son, then someone should have prophesied about it all. And if that was the case, then he knew a Hero would have been born form the ashes of it all, but whom? It wasn't his kids, he was for sure about that. He had checked the Department of Mysteries on each of their births, making sure that there wasn't a foretelling of another war, and there hadn't been. He hurried downstairs and out the doors, making his way outside of the barriers. It was time to go back to the Department of Mysteries and find out who this kid was.
