Cherreads

Chapter 30 - A New Ability Unlocks

Hazel sat in a chair that seemed to be made for a giant of a giant. It probably dwarfed her ten times over. But she did not judge and she did not presume. This was her uncle Sirius' dreamscape and he should have whatever he felt he needed. She maintained her dreamscape how she saw fit and did not expect anyone to question or judge.

So she wouldn't do it to anyone else.

Sirius smiled up at her. Then he suddenly became serious. "Are you and Harry okay yet? Are you talking again?"

"Those are two different things Uncle Sirius. We are okay, but we are nor speaking to each other.

"He just can't understand my point of view. He is my brother and I love him and I love our parents. The problem is Minerva and Montague McGonagall raised me. How can I deny them?"

Sirius nodded. This girl was exactly like her mother. He would have gotten out of Azkaban but she made is it so much easier and safer. He might have escaped but he would have lost much of himself in the process.

Hazel looked at the new broom Sirius was packing.

"This is for Harry? To replace his broken one?" he looked up at her in surprise and she rolled his eyes. "I told you that we are okay we are just not speaking. I know everything that happens to him. I almost wanted to go and help him but he already knows how to handle Dementors so I let it be."

"He does?"

"Of course. As soon as I found you I decided that we all needed to learn."

"You as well." Hazel just rolled her eyes and swung her feet. "and what are your Patronus?"

She suddenly became serious. "Mine is just a dragon but Harry's is a buck."

"'Just a dragon!?'" Sirius gave her an incredulous look. Then he looked thoughtful. "A buck like your father." Hazel nodded. Sirius frowned. "You knew your father's patronus was a buck?"

"Yes. And mother's was a doe. It is well documented." Sirius nodded and smiled.

"When I clear my name I am doing to take Harry to live with me. You are more than welcome to come."

Haze smiled. "Thank you for including me Uncle Sirius but I am okay. Harry, on the other hand needs you. I doubt Dumbledore will allow it though. I am working on an incantation to mimic what happened when mother sacrificed herself but I am still a little ways away from the solution." She stopped talking and looked down at her hands.

"I am moving closer to being a Fatetress." She side and looked up. "My fate eye has evolved and now I have the third eye innately."

"Innately?"

"Yes. Any seer can use the third eye to see but only the but it will only reside within the Fatetress." She sighed. "I was hoping that as long as I never acknowledged it I would not need to worry but I dreamwalk way too much for it to pass me by."

Sirius came and wrapped her in a deep bear hug. He could tell that she was truly sadden by this and it wad like seeing Lily sad.

"Don't worry. It is only an ability. I will always be here to protect you."

She pressed deeper into his hug. She was happy to have someone so calm and reassuring to talk to. Everyone else was so excitable and volatile.

An emergency meeting of the six houses of Tan had been called and no one knew why. Well they all knew why. All of them sensed it. Even the weakest seer would know.

Adam Ambrose was already in his seat. He watched as Elders and important family member scurried in. The only family head not there wad Willamina Wist but Adam Ambrose knew why this was as well.

She wanted to see who the third eye chose, he knew that this was dangerous but he could not dismayed her.

She entered slowly and on wobbly legs. All sound paused in the room as all eyes turned to her. She chuckled as she slowly reached her seat and gingerly sat down.

"I foolishly looked and saw." She looked at all the other heads of families. "Hazel McGonagall is the new Fatetress. We finally have a new True Seer."

Again all sound ceased as everyone drank that information in. Then it all burst back into life as everyone began speaking all at once.

Hazel leaned into George and looked back at him,

"the six seer families of Tan know I am the Fatetress."

He frowned. "It will be okay we will figure out how to protect you."

She shook her head. "No need. Do you mind helping Harry get to Hogsmead?"

"Already done." He kissed the top of her head.

"Thank you."

"Of course I am going to help him. He is your brother and my brothers best friend. Now. Why is there no need to protect you."

"Because now that I am chosen they can not harm me unless they want every seer to receive a severe backlash."

Georges eyes widened then he smiled. "That would be something to see."

She rolled her eyes. "You are truly macabre."

He smiled and then hugged her from behind. "I am, but that just makes me more interesting."
