Chapter 27 - Bloodlines

Welkin's famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) witch ancestress is revealed. Her disturbing dream is interpreted by Dumbledore.

"So, what is the 'matter of great importance' that you wanted to see me about?" Welkin asked Dumbledore, after she was comfortably seated in his office. Severus was seated next to her, looking as if he were trying to read Albus’s mind. He hadn’t known exactly why Dumbledore had called them to a conference either.

"It involves this," Albus said, pushing a dark leather-bound book towards her.

"My grandmother’s journal?" Welkin recognized it right away. Mamie had always seemed to be scribbling away at a series of the things, but this was the last one she’d written in for a year before her death.

"Severus told me that you borrowed it from my brother, Glenn. I can’t imagine why. It’s probably just a bunch of bad poetry, or ingredients for home remedies. She was big into balms and elixirs."

"Not precisely. There are other, much more intriguing things she has written. Though it is interesting that she favored making her own medicinals. A family tradition, perhaps?" Albus asked.

"I guess. They apparently brought a lot of recipes for things when they came over from the British Isles." Welkin shrugged. "People used to tell Mamie she should have gone to school, and become a doctor. She was pretty good at treating ailments for the folks around where we lived, who didn’t have the money to pay a regular doctor, or go to the hospital."

"Your middle name, Welkin - Morgana, as I recall from your wedding ceremony - is that also a family tradition?" Albus asked.

"Well, yes. As a matter of fact, it is. It’s been passed down to the oldest girl in each family for hundreds of years, usually as a middle name. What does my name have to do with anything?" Welkin asked, wishing he would get to the point instead of asking a lot of questions.

"Morgana," Snape repeated, considering the implications of the reason that her family continually selected that name for female progeny over the centuries. He thought that he had already guessed what Albus was hinting at, but hesitated to state it bluntly, it seemed so far-fetched to him. "Is this about Welkin’s witch ancestry?

"Yes. It most certainly is. Based on what I’ve read in this journal, and if the claims in here check out through the proper channels at the Ministry, you may be married to a descendant of one of the most famous witches in Wizarding history," Dumbledore told Snape.

"Morgan le Fay?" Snape asked, saying the name almost reverently.

"One and the same, my boy. Tutored by non other than, the great Merlin himself!" Albus slapped his hand on the journal for emphasis. "Even though it must go through the proper channels to be verified, what I have read in here has convinced me that it is true." He looked at Welkin curiously. "Do you know this name, this person of whom we speak?"

"Of course. I used to read all about King Arthur. Morgan le Fay was Arthur’s half-sister, wasn’t she? I think one of the stories was that she started learning magic at a convent, and then was tutored by Merlin the Magician. There were a lot of differing legends about her, but most of them said she was a very powerful sorceress." Welkin recited what she knew from memory.

"We prefer the term 'witch' these days, but you are basically correct," Albus said. "Morgana is a variant form of Morgan. Morgan’s mother, the Lady Igraine, was herself learned in magic, and Morgan le Fay was connected through her to the Druid traditions, which may explain your particular wand’s selection of you, and the amount of power you were channeling through it almost immediately. Morgan le Fay was also most highly skilled in healing. Perhaps we should concentrate on that in your tutelage in the future."

"I’m related to Morgan le Fay?" Welkin looked astonished. "That’s got to be the coolest thing I’ve ever heard! And all this time, I thought I was just a little country girl from out in the sticks."

"Apparently, the Daily Prophet does not know how correct they were when they reported on our nuptials," Snape told her. 'Reputed to be from a Wizarding family of great antiquity...' Snape repeated what they had written about Welkin, which she had scoffed at as being outrageous 'bullshit' at the time.

"Albus, did you know about this when you selected me for Severus? Is that why you chose me?" Welkin asked him.

"I knew you had witch lineage, but I had no idea that it was such a remarkable one. Apparently, your family has hidden it exceedingly well over the centuries. They have moved around quite a bit, and used various methods to shield themselves from detection. For what reason, I am still not quite sure. Their efforts in that respect intensified following the unfortunate incident near Salem in the 1600's when one of your witch ancestors was hanged.

"But no, I selected you for Severus based on my observations about you as a person, in the months that I watched you go about your life in the Muggle world. I simply thought that you would make a good match for Severus. Nothing more or less than that. Your match had other benefits to speak for it as well, such as a way to return at least one of your family members to the fold, so to speak. Despite our powers, we magicals are a dwindling strain of the human species, I am afraid. The Muggles easily outstrip us in breeding. To return one of our own to the fold is always desirable, to help ensure our survival. Increasing our numbers, and our ultimate defeat of Voldemort, are most imperative."

"No one else must know this about Welkin," Snape said abruptly.

"I totally agree, Severus," Albus concurred with a worried frown.

"But why? I don’t understand. Why shouldn’t anyone else know?" Welkin asked, looking back and forth between them.

"Because if word of your ancestry should reach the Dark Lord, it might be dangerous knowledge," Snape told her.

"Indeed, it would," Albus agreed. "The power and the prestige inherent in your bloodline would be a tremendous temptation to him. We cannot risk that. Morgan le Fay was one of the most powerful dark witches in our history. Voldemort would almost certainly try to find a way to use you to his advantage. As a recruitment tool to draw new Death Eaters to his cause, or..."

"What do you mean, use me?" Welkin asked, starting to get a little worried herself. She flashed back on the dreams she had when she and Severus were apart from one another.

"You don’t mean use like for sex, do you?" Welkin asked hesitantly, feeling a little silly for even asking the question. Could a misshapen creature like that even manage to have normal sex?

"Why would you ask that?" Albus questioned sharply.

"Because I had nightmares when Severus and I were separated. In them, Voldemort was forcing himself on me on this big stone slab. They've stopped now, but it was beyond awful at the time!"

Snape was staring at her with a look of great alarm.

"What else do you remember about the dreams?" Albus asked, trying to stay calm for Welkin’s sake. "Were you alone?"

"No. There were other people there I think, but I couldn’t see them, except for Severus," she said. "I think I could hear them though. They were chanting something I didn’t understand. The words didn’t make any sense to me."

"Can you repeat any of them?" Albus asked.

Welkin haltingly tried her best to reproduce some of the sounds she thought she remembered.

"Child…child within…the womb," Dumbledore translated. "Are you sure that's what you heard?"

"I think so, yes. It sounded like what I told you. What is it? Please tell me it’s not what it sounds like," she said fearfully.

Snape was still staring at her, but was now clearly horrified.

"It sounds like a bastardization of an ancient Druid fertility rite. A rite for producing a male child," Dumbledore said. "So now we know what form his use of you would take, should he discover your lineage. He would seek to impregnate you with his child."

"I’d rather die!"

Welkin was as horrified as Severus at the idea of that monster touching her, and planting his seed in her belly to fester and ferment.

"Severus!" She grasped his hand tightly. "You won’t let him touch me, will you? I’ll go mad if he touches me!"

Author's Note: Welkin's grandmother's nickname, Mamie, is pronounced with a long "a" sound in the first syllable.
