Chapter 31- Why mother?

They were almost two weeks late to Hogwarts when Andromeda decided they could finally return…

Lily asked Ted quietly if Eileen had recovered at all…

Ted nodded, “Yes, why?”

Lily wrung her hands, “I wanted to talk to her is all…”

Ted sighed, “You want to know why? Why you and not Severus?”

Lily hung her head.

Ted nodded, “Come on, we’ll floo over to the Villa.”

They left a note for Aurelius so that he knew where they were going to be.

Lily had been sleeping in a nearby room for a few nights. After all she couldn’t stay with Remus and Severus at Hogwarts. It would be a scandal after all and she really did wish to avoid that…

They arrived and Ted escorted her through the unfamiliar house to an apartment that was tastefully furnished.

A vaguely familiar figure lay on the settee; she had Severus’ hair and some of Sofia’s features.

Ted spoke quietly, “Eileen? Someone is here to see you…”

The figure moved enough to rise, reminding Lily almost painfully of James’ mother.

Lily swallowed, almost forcing the words out, “Hello mother…”

“You’re Severus’ sister then? You couldn’t be more unlike the Princes with that colouring…”

Lily frowned, “Did you even bother naming me?”

Eileen shook her head, “I didn’t, I hoped that if you weren’t named then you wouldn’t be numbered among the Princes.”

Lily shrunk.

“It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, a male heir was what was needed. Your brother could inherit, I didn’t want you to be put in the situation I was. Practically sold for the name, for your blood… our culture wouldn’t see it as freedom but it would be.” Eileen’s voice was weak but understandable. “They were good people weren’t they? The Evans’?”

Lily nodded, “The best…they even cared for Severus…”

“I hoped they would…”

“Better than your sister…” Ted muttered darkly.

Eileen flinched, “Sofia took after our father in personality, so I am not at all surprised at how she treated my son. She despised me for shaming our family; please tell Severus Tobias was never his father. He is not a Halfblood, but I would not allow him to be raised by his sire and I was not strong enough to find someone worthy of our name to raise you both in our world. I ran away yes but my choice was the lesser shame. I hoped that you would find someone worthy of you despite your blood. Please tell me, have you?”

Lily nodded, “James Potter…”

Eileen nodded, “A Potter, he will be honourable and treat you like a princess. You will never want for anything…”

Lily blushed, “He’s grown so much from the boy who insulted Severus on the train…”

“She is unwell and must rest…” Sofia’s sharp voice came from the corridor.

Lily flinched, “Then we’ll leave…”

“If I could have raised you I would have called you Elaine after my mother…” Eileen’s voice trembled. “Elaine Honoria and Severus Aurelian after my beloved Uncle…”

Lily knelt to kiss Eileen’s cheek, “Thank you…”

“Are you going to,”

“Undo the blood adoption?” Lily interrupted, “No, I had already decided against it.”

Eileen pulled her close to whisper, “Take care of Severus, as I couldn’t take care of my sister…”

Lily blinked; she’d always been protective of him. A small smile crossed her face, that must be Eileen’s way of tell her who was older…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
