When the three siblings entered the main living area a few centons later, it was to find Harry with an arm around Roark's shoulders, their heads bent close together, and though neither said a word, it was obvious they were deep in conversation.
Rabastan stood by the fireplace, his arm resting on the mantle as he watched the two of them, his sherry gaze never leaving the pair. "What's going on?" Athena asked with a huge yawn as she tied her robe closed over her nightgown, noticing at once just how pale Roark was, how tense Harry was, and how worried Rabastan was.
Roark's head came up, his silver eyes locking on her as Harry's head turned, Athena now seeing that the emerald depths held vast amounts of worry. Something was wrong. Hurrying across the room, she squatted before them, laying a hand on each of their arms.
"What is it? Are you alright?"
Zac, seeing everything his elder sister had, also hurried to their side, running fingers through two sets of midnight hair. "Do we need to call Severus? Sebastien?"
"No, no. There is no need to call either one of them, Uncle Zac," came the soft answer. "As for what is wrong, best you ask your father that."
They all turned to look at the man in question as he settled Ila on the couch. "Father?" Athena asked.
He stood, looked at each of them, then answered, "I think it is about time we told Roark the truth about his birth, and as James and Lily are no longer with us, it falls to us."
"Oh, Jacob," Ila breathed, looking first at her husband, then over at her grandsons, who sat close together, "must we?"
"Yes, Ila, I think we must. He deserves to know the truth. Roark," he turned to look at his youngest grandson, "I hope you will forgive us for not telling you about this sooner, but at first, you just weren't old enough. Then you and Harry went to Hogwarts at eight, at ten we sent you to Saggitara, then when you came back you returned to Hogwarts--"
"Grandfather, can you please just get on with it?"
Drawing in a slow breath, he released it. "What with your injury, and everything else that has been happening...it's time you were told the truth."
"The truth about WHAT, exactly?" he demanded, feeling Harry tense beside him, making him turn to look at him. "Harry?"
"You are not my true-born brother," came his whispered words.
A deeply indrawn breath. "I...WHAT?" he breathed, their eyes meeting.
"When you were only a few sectons old, you were put up for adoption," Adama said when Harry couldn't seem to say anything else. "James and Lily applied for, and were granted custody of you when you were barely six sectons old."
: She had no choice, : came softly into his mind. : She was a new widow, with little to no income coming in. She had no way to support you as she felt you needed to be supported. She REALLY didn't want to give you up, but she felt it was truly in your best interest if she did. :
: She who? : came his immediate question as he looked at his grandparents, a slowly dawning horror that he was not who he had always believed himself to be surfacing. If he had not already been sitting down, he would have dropped where he stood. "Adopted?"
: Her name was Leta Lestrange. She was the daughter of one of my father's younger brothers. You are the son of her twin sister. :
: Then that means...Oh GODS, Rodolphus, : he gasped suddenly, his eyes widening. : That means we're related."
: Cousins a couple of times removed, : came Rabastan's voice as his hand settled on his shoulder, giving it a squeeze. : And stop being ridiculous, you are still Roark Peverell Potter, no matter that you were adopted. :
"He's right, you know," Harry told him softly. "You will always be my brother, and NOTHING will ever change that. Just like nothing will ever change that Mom and Dad adopted you, that they loved you from the moment they laid eyes on you until the day they died trying to protect us from a madman."
"Harry is right. James and Lily loved you irrevocably, and Harry..." a smile. "Harry simply adored you. You became his brother and no one could ever tell him any different. As soon as they brought you home, they tried to find out more about the woman who had placed you for adoption but were unfortunately never able to find out anything. Your adoption was a closed one, your file sealed, and the woman...Once she signed the papers, she disappeared."
: Rodolphus? :
A deep sigh sounded in his mind. : She returned to Aquaria. She was devastated at having to place her beloved sister's son up for adoption, but she had no idea who your father may have been, or she would have just given you to him. She made a promise to her sister after all. She went to Caprica and investigated the Peverell Potters, as well as several other families. She chose them for you, deciding that their four-yahren-old son would be the perfect older brother for you. She left a letter, and in it, she explains her decisions, her reasons, and how she came to choose the Peverell Potter's for you. I have it with me and will give it to you as soon as we see each other."
