Chapter-5: Confessions and Confrontations.
                          
"Not yet dad still there is something that we should discuss. What do you say, Selene?" Papa asked and I gulped.
                          
"I don't understand Papa," I said trying to change the subject.
                          
"Selene looks at me I know you don't want to talk about them or their treatment to you but talk helps the princess." He said.
                          
"I know Papa but at present, I don't want to," I said with tears these all things are overwhelming me.
                          
"Fine cub, Padfoot stop pestering her when she wants she will talk." Uncle moony said taking me into a hug.
                          
"Okay fine." He said and relief spread through me.
                          
"Papa, I wanted to ask something?" I said.
                          
"What is it, princess?" He asked.
                          
"How can Mom Lily be my mother and godmother both at a time?" I asked confused.
                          
"Well even before you were born we decided that Lily will be one of your but when you were born your core was stronger than normal baby, you started doing accidental magic just after 15 days of your birth so we contacted a healer at St.Mungo's she said that having one more magical core connected to you will keep your core stable so she volunteered to be your mom stating that "you people being Men and Marauders I know she will never be a girl she will be a tomboy so I will keep you people in line and look after her and we did ritual before two days of Halloween night." He said.
                          
"Oh now come on princess you and I both need rest and before you deny we are visiting St. Mungo's tomorrow for a body scan. Do you understand?" He asked firmly.
                          
"Yes, papa but I want Uncle Moony to accompany us because he looks like a robbed man," I said.
                          
"Of course he will because I plan on doing that." He said looking at Uncle.
                          
"Why are you both dragging me in this you both could have told me directly that you fear healers." He said smirking.
                          
"No, I don't." I and papa said in unison and everyone laughed at us.
                          
We walked through manner all the way papa carrying me and I was waving my hands at every portrait that is looking at me curiously. We reached a room its doors were large of red maghony wood and when I entered I gasped looking at suite.
                          
"Papa will you tell about Mama and you more? I'm not getting sleep and also I fear that if I close my eyes everything will turn out to be a dream." I asked shame coursing through me. 
                          
"Princess look at me. Keep one thing in your mind you can ask me whatever you want and I will give that to you. There is no need for you to feel shame or guilt. Do you understand?" He asked me.
                          
"Yes Papa," I answered and I was looking curiously towards him waiting for him to start. He chuckled seeing my expressions and I pouted.
                          
"Well, I first met your Mama on Hogwarts express. He was looking for a place to sit while I was alone in my compartment. He knocked on door entered inside & asked " can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." This is what he said looking down with shy and timidness but I immediately recognised he was putting a mask of innocence because I use to do same after whenever I use to play a prank on your Aunts. And with him your uncle Moony and Peter were there too. That day was the day our friendship started." He said but when he took rat's name his tone was laced with venom and hate.
                          
"Papa so you want to say that Mama was like you loud daring courageous and lovable?" I asked him.
                          
"No princess your Mama for others maybe definition was that but for me, he is shy, innocent, gullible, kind, beautiful and lovable he became, even more, all of this when he came into his maturity level," Papa said with a smile on his face. Meanwhile, I yawned.
                          
"Come on princess it's time for you to sleep. Now you're staying with me. I will tell you about your Mama daily." He said tucking me into bed.
                          
"Papa will you sleep with me," I asked him.
                          
"If that is what you want. I will stay here and sleep with you." He said coming under covers and took me into his embrace.
                          
In these 11 years for the first time, I slept without any fear and nightmares and with a serene smile on my face.
                          
*******
                          
In the morning when I woke up at first I panicked seeing new room but when slowly yesterday's events came back to me a smile came to my face. I was searching for papa when a note appeared in the air in front of my face.
                          
Princess,
                          
I'm going to fresh up and wait for you at the breakfast table with family. Clean yourself and come down.
                          
Your papa.
                          
Immediately I cleaned myself and went down to see Papa, uncle Moony along with others was waiting for me.
                          
"Good morning everyone." I greeted them.
                          
"Good morning Selene." They returned my greetings.
                          
"So Selene are you ready to go visit healer?" Uncle Moony asked with a smirk on his lips and I glared at him.
                          
"Of course she is. Isn't it Selene?" Papa asked in a firm tone.
                          
"Yes Papa but Uncle Moony don't forget you're also accompanying us," I said where smirk was forming on my lips seeing his expression.
                          
"Very well father, dad and Grandfather we will come home by evening take care of yourselves," Papa said wishing them bye.
                          
"We will take care of ourselves Sirius. But I think you people should visit Midnight Clinic because where ever you go mostly Dumbledore's puppets are there and his claws are present everywhere." Grandad said."
                          
"And also we have our own healer Mr Anderson at Midnight Clinic," Grandpa said.
                          
"Okay dad, father we will go to Midnight Clinic. Meanwhile, you contact them through floo and inform him that we are coming." Papa said.
                          
"Sirius we will do that now you should get going." Grandma and Aunt Cassie said.
                          
We moved towards floo. First Uncle Moony went through taking floor powder and shouting clearly Midnight Clinic then I followed him when I tumbled another side Uncle Moony caught me later Papa followed us. We went to the front desk for asking where healer Mr Anderson was.
                          
"Mr Black, Ms Black and Mr Lupin," Papa said while uncle Moony was beside me catching my hand.
                          
"Mr.Black Healer Anderson is in room no 4 waiting for you. You can go." She said and my heart started beating rapidly for what they are going to find about my health and body.
