Unbelievable....

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha perched herself on the couch in a room close to the Patriarch's lair, but was not it. Books lined the walls, as well as a few portraits of some ancestors. She was sitting with Theodore, but not really talking. Aleyha had her arms on the arm of the couch, and her head resting on them. Her legs were folded underneath her, and she did not count this as time with her future-husband. Aleyha thought that this was actually torture for her. Her mind kept going to the Yule Ball, and she hated that her second one was ruined, and at the same time she realized that she liked him. It was all too much for the young Slytherin. Aleyha murmured under her breath of coherent nonsense, in Parseltongue. Aleyha sighed silently, and she spoke not a word.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore sat in silence at she sat in a room he could not name with his fiancée, to be honest he didn't really have an idea to as why he was here right now. But once thing he did know was that he wasn't speaking to Aleyha right now, she humiliated him and insulted him in front of many at the ball and he was still pissed about that. So he figured it would just be best if he didn't say anything to her instead of risking himself if he said something to anger her. Instead he rested his hand on his hand, that was propped by an elbow resting on the couch, he was actually tempted to take a nap, but didn't trust being asleep around Aleyha.

 

[Anya Romanov]

It was just like any other normal day in the Zhefarovich Manor, Anya found herself floating about one of the many corridors. Anya was rather bored and quickly grew tired of her own company, the Manor was full of other ghosts surely Anya could find someone to talk too. Making her way through a wall, not taking notice as to which room she was entering Anya stopped mid-air as she saw two blonde haired children sitting in front of her. It was not the first time Anya had seen this two children, especially the female. A soft smile dawned on her wispy lips, "Hello." she said in an airy voice, not wishing to startle the soon-to-be-wed couple.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha heard a faint greeting, and her red eyes glanced up to see a ghost of the Manor. However, this one was an unfamiliar one. What made Aleyha stare at the ghost, it was how much she looked like herself. Aleyha narrowed her eyes, and she reached over and nudged Theodore. Why she did this, she didn't know. Aleyha thought that this was just weird, and she inquired, her voice softer than ever, and lacking any sort of threat, "Who are you?" Aleyha felt like she knew this woman, and even the blonde hair and her expression was eerie to the young Parselmouth. If Aleyha didn't know any better, Aleyha would think that she was closely related to this woman.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore was moment away from falling into a deep and probably peaceful sleep when he felt someone nudge him. Cracking his forest green eyes open he turned to star at Aleyha with an annoyed expression before he caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a ghost. "What?" He asked looking between the ghost and Aleyha, picking up on how similar they actually looked but not really getting what was going on, had he fallen asleep for that long? After a moment he gave up on trying to figure out what was going on and just sunk back into the couch as he tried to follow the scene.

 

[Anya Romanov]

Anya's ghostly fingers rubbed her lower forearm, where the mark of the Death Eaters rested still upon her skin even after she was dead. Her daughter already recognized her, and her heart went out to her. Such a couple of power rested before her, and Anya was so proud. Both would be spreading chaos and evil sooner than Anya expected, and that she was grateful for. Anya bowed her head slightly, and she spoke, "I am Anya Romanov, former Death Eater, and your biological mother. I am honored to meet the future husband of my daughter." Her hand motioned toward Theodore Snow. Anya floated toward them just a bit more, but still left a distance between her ghostly form and the children.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha stared at the ghost, wondering where exactly she had seen her before. Aleyha tried to remember, but couldn't for the life of her. But it was the ghost's words that struck Aleyha like a slap in the face. Anya Romanov, her mother? But, wasn't Dorothee? Then it occurred to her. Adoption... But if this was her mom, then was Prodan still her dad or not? Aleyha wondered why did someone not tell her before? She believed Anya, and it explained why she was the way she was. After all, if her mom was a Death Eater, then Aleyha had her traits. Dorothee and Prodan together could not make an evil child. "Mom...?" Aleyha muttered. A genuine smile spread across her lips, and it was the same as Anya's...

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore's mouth dropped when he made complete sense of what that ghost said to both him and Aleyha, this woman was really her mother? Sitting up straight he removed his elbow from the side of the couch and look at the ghost with narrowed yet curious forest green orbs. "Wait! Your really her mother...and how do you know who I am if your dead?" He tried to make sense of what was happening, there was no way that she could know who he was if he was dead, she had never been around to meet him. Glancing at the dead woman's arm he was almost shocked to see something he had never laid his eyes on before, The Dark Mark. In all his life he had heard about them but had never really seen one before, and he could honestly say he was interested.
