Chapter 1: Nothing to Fear?
Harry sat at the table sighing in contentment, his hand was wound tightly into Ginny's. They had been giving each other longing looks and gentle caresses all through dinner, their food was all but forgotten when their eyes had landed on each other. Across the table another couple shared the same loving moment. Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger sat across from the happy couple having their own little private moment.
No one. Not even the teachers knew why Professor Dumbledore had called announced that dinner would be earlier than usual but the sudden change in the air outside made them realize that whatever it was it could not be good. The chatter in the hall immediately died down as soon as Professor Dumbledore took his place at the podium. His aged face sulked more than usual, the wrinkles on his forehead were a lot more pronounced but his eyes were the most striking. In spite of his tired, stressed face his eyes held a certain joy and hope to them.
"Good Evening Students," The Professor started "I would first like to do the regular announcements."
While the Professor droned on and on with the announcements the students at the Gryffindor table held there own private conversation. Harry leaned over the table.
"What do you think the Professor called us in here for?" Harry asked carefully.
Hermione thought carefully for a moment. "I don't know. But did you see the huge change in the weather. It's very peculiar, I'll-"
"Go to the library and check it out," Ron and Harry droned.
Hermione rolled her eyes at them and sat back with a huff.
"Now students. The reason I have asked for dinner to be early is because I would like for everyone to be in bed very early. At the moment I cannot tell you why but I must warn you," He took off his glasses " I want everyone to be in bed by 7 p.m."
A loud groan sounded from the tables. "SILENCE!" He yelled "Even though the threat of he who should not be named is gone. Do not assume you have nothing to fear."
The entire room grew silent. Prof. Dumbledore walked away from the podium and sat in his regular chair. He waved a hand in the air for the students to continue eating dinner. Dinner went on uninterrupted by any other announcements. When they were done they were ushered to the dorms by Prefects.
Hermione Granger tossed and turned in her bed, she knew that she was the only one who was awake in the entire dorm but she just couldn't sleep. Hermione threw off her covers and slid on her bed slippers, she threw on her robe and took up her wand. She wasn't one to break the rules but she couldn't shake this feeling that she had. She tip toed out of the room quietly. She brought her wand up to her lips and whispered. "Lumos" As soon as the words left her lips a narrow beam of light appeared on the tip of her wand. She looked around and ignored the rude comments she was getting from the paintings.
All of a sudden her body collided into something. She picked up her wand and lifted it up ready to cast a spell. She looked up and saw Ginny scrambling to find her wand, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Ginny what are you doing up?" She asked.
Ginny gripped her wand before answering her, "I couldn't sleep,"
Hermione nodded once in acceptance.
"Walk with me then." Hermione offered.
Ginny smiled slightly and at the offer. "Sure."
The two girls wandered the halls of Hogwarts aimlessly for a while.
"...Professor do you really think bringing her here is a good idea?"The voice of Professor Minerva McGonagall came from the inside of a room.
Ginny and Hermione looked at each other. Her?
"Minerva it is the only choice I have. She's my niece." Professor Dumbledore's gravelly voice answered.
Hermione's eyebrows rose all the way up to her eyebrows. Dumbledore has a niece? She thought to herself.
"What about the safety of the other students? I mean someone coming straight out of Azkaban." Prof. McGonagall asked.
"I will try to keep her away from the other students to the best of my ability. But she has nowhere else to go Minerva." He said grimly.
"Do you see that?" Prof. McGonagall asked.
Hermione gasped inaudibly and whispered the word "Nox." to out the light. Immediately the light went out and the two girls were engulfed by the darkness in the hallway.
"I don't see anything."
Hermione and Ginny didn't stay around to hear the rest of the conversation. The ran down the corridor, up the stairs to the dorms.
"Did you know Dumbledore had a niece?" Ginny asked curiously.
Hermione shook her head to confirm her answer.
"Well I am just about tired now Granger. Goodnight." Ginny said with a yawn.
Hermione watched as Ginny walked away quickly. Hermione walked into her dorm quietly, the other girls in the dorm were still asleep. She sighed and walked back to her bed, she picked up her comforter and wrapped it around herself, she sunk into her bed. No matter how comfortable her bed was she just couldn't let her mind rest. Who was Dumbledore's niece? What had she done to be thrown in Azkaban? and what was she doing at Hogwarts?
Ronald Weasley was late for Professor Snape's class, he didn't mean to over sleep it just happened. He turned a sharp corner and hit into a something soft much like a pillow but still somewhat hard. He looked around for his fallen books, when he was sure he had all his books he began to get up off the floor when he realized he didn't have his potions book. He looked up and saw that a small gentle looking hand was holding his book out in front of him. His eyes examined the small hand from it's long skilled looking fingers that had blood red painted nails, his eyes traveled up from the hand to the slender pale arm up to the thin shoulder that seemed to be slightly muscled but still thin, then up to her slender neck. Then finally his eyes landed on her face. She was beyond beautiful.(Link for her is on my profile) Her eyes a rich hazel and her hair. Ron couldn't think straight.
"Here's your book back," She said sharply.
Ron was frozen he didn't know what to say so he said the first thing that came to his mind. "Your eyes are huge." He blurted out.
She looked at him with one eyebrow cocked. "I know." She threw the book on the floor in front of him. "and your Ronald Weasley."
Ron blushed furiously. "Yeah? What's your name I've never seen you around school."
"I'm Fia that's all you need to know." She said shortly.
She stepped around him and walked away, her cape flowed behind her. Ron gazed at her longingly. Ron what are you thinking your with Hermione. He shook his head quickly.
"MR. WEASLEY! Did you plan on coming to my class today?" Prof. Snape shouted.
"No sir the girl..." Ron looked again and Fia was gone.
"What girl?" Professor Snape asked.
Ron shook his head and began to walk in the direction of class. He sighed in relief until he felt it. Professor Snap had hit him in the head with a book. Who was she? Where did she come from?
Harry held his arm and groaned in pain. He had tried blocking Malfoy's spell but it just didn't work. He was usually good at DADA but today he was just off.
He rolled his shoulder again and grimaced in pain. He lay back on the bed in the nurses' station gently. The loud sound of metal falling to the ground caused Harry to jerk upward and reach for his wand. The action caused him a large amount of pain in his arm.
"Who's there?" He asked.
"Oh sorry I was looking for the bathroom." A bell like voice answered.
Harry sat up some more and looked around the screen. His mouth fell open. The girl in front of him had to be a figment of his imagination or an angel sent to take him to heaven. She had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, her pouty lips were frowning back at him. She had to be the most beautiful creature he had ever seen in his entire life.
"Who are you?" He asked curiously.
She moved closer to him until she was standing so close to him that if he opened his mouth she could have counted his taste buds. Harry stopped breathing when she reached out a hand, used two of her fingers and swept the hair that covered his scar out of the way. She licked her lips in desire.
"Harry Potter," She said slowly.
Something about the way she said his name made a familiar sense of dread curl up his spine.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do this." She said in a breathy tone.
She leaned forward slowly her lips inching closer, closer and closer until...
