The Red Hair Finnigan -Quest6

December, 26th 2033

Aiden finds hope again.
Early this day, Chloe comes in his home and tells his dad that she will take him out. Without his brother.
Because even if they're inseparables, they don't share necessarily the same project about that. Especially this.
So the nurse brings him to the capitale city, at London muggle part. It's his first time. Because he would have remembered before and his father isn't the type to walks in the muggle street, since he's wizard.
He sees thing that he's seen just in the book which Claire gives him and discovers the movie theatre. 'Cause the Potters aren't much of a screen family. They don't use I-technology, sure they know what it is (and even probably how to use) but they aren't user. That's for the best 'cause it damages the eyes. Especially when the child is barely four (Crystal).
So they walk cross the London muggle part and Aiden sings to pass time and then they arrive at a little clinic. Which isn't even open. But Chloe has the key and she unlocks the door, allowing him to enter and then closes behind them.
"I'm here." She says to the dark room.
Then a light filters through an open door in the background, a low noise answers her. Aiden thinks it would take time and he looks around warily. It's a real clinic with all the medical stuff and it's empty in this early morning. It even smells funny.
"Ah, so you are Tobias' son. I mean one of his son, who got unexpectedly red hair..."
Aiden looks at him and thinks he's very misplaced to talk about his hair when himself had them white. It calls albinos, if he remembers correctly. And he did because he has visual memory and he works really hard at this.
"Anyway, come here, I have what you want."
He turns his heels and disappears behind the personal door, where he came earlier. The boy looks unbelievably at Chloe, whose simply gives him an encouraging smile.
"He's Kylian, by the way, one of our former classmate."
"Ah, a Slytherin?"
She nods and leads him to the door where there is what he wants. And he shudders in anticipation.
It is a normal white office with a main desk in the middle of the room and a big closet to put a lots of folders.
Chloe leads him to the front of the desk and he sees it.
A lonely file with his birth date in the middle of the desktop.
He looks up at the two adults who stand at the edge of the desk to leave him personal space. They don't say anything but just look calmly at him. Eventually, Chloe speaks up softly.
"Do you want me to be next to you when you read that, Aiden?"
The boy is very quiet for a moment. Then he shakes wordlessly his head and takes the report in his shakings hands.
The adults don't move but when they open their mouth there is no tone. Secret conversation charm in nonverbal spells.
"Do you really think it's the best thing to do?" Kylian asks.
Chloe stays silent.
"Could you think on his perspective?" She answers with a question. "When he's first aware at three, he notices that he's different of others children because he doesn't have a mother."
Kylian considers it.
"But he is raised by his father." At her arched brow, he adds quickly : "He is only eight, what happen if he is finally aware that even if he knows who she is he couldn't do anything?"
Chloe frowns like she hasn't think about that earlier. Her eyes nevers breaks away from the boy.
"We are here to help him." she raises her hand when she sees him open his mouth like he will say something "I know you own him nothing. But please consider the fact that he misses something in his young heart. She carried him and his brother during their first year, he develops some instinct about her, he needs her."

Like he already likes singing like her. Or that he listens her song (without knowing because after the Nightmare Attack, Claire advice Tobias to sooth them with some songs they used to be familiar).

The albinos inhale a long breath without speaking up again. Then their attention are directed by the high young voice.
"Eli Brooks!" He chants as if it's the hundredth time he says it.
And it probably is.
"My name is Eli Brooks!" He smiles at them.
They smiles back, even if it's little shaky, but he doesn't seem to be aware and his fingers keeps tracing the letter of his birth name like a treasure.
He doesn't say anything else, like 'so, does that mean my mother last name is Brooks?', 'What is her name, thus?'. He's just awed by this tiny discover and suddenly Kylian feels a wave of desire to help him find this woman who makes him feel that at this age. Then he notices Chloe who approaches him quietly.
"Do you want to show this to your brother?"
Kylian stares at them like it's a movie ant holds his breathe.
"No, I don't think so."
He releases the breath without knowing if it is the answers he expected.
"I will if he needs to know, though."
But now, it's his present that he'll cherish it.
It's the 26 of December 2033 and it's been 7 years and three months (and five days) that he and his twin were send to their father.
And he finally knows what is his first identity.
