I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
AN: I've re-written the first chapters so that it makes more sense for the plot. I've moved some days around so that Harry is now older then Hermione being born in in June and Hermione being born In August. In this fanfiction, Lily and James Potter live because Voldemort is not after Harry but Hermione instead. This will be a multi-Hermione fanfiction. Please leave me a review of what you think and if you think that Hermione should be in Gryffindor let me know and if not let me know what another house you think she could belong in. Oh, and I am looking for a beta if anyone can help let me know thanks.
JULY 27TH, 1980
He didn't even know why he was here Mini told him that the subject is worthless to those who don't have the sight but seen as she was his former student and her grandmother has the sight being an astounding seer he thought he would give her a chance it wouldn't harm to give her a chance after all
Wrong.
Not only had the woman been a complete fake going on and on about how she had the eye and making up random predictions from the weather the next day to the outcome of the Quidditch world cup in a misty tone that she must have though effective in reality it made her sound high. But it was not the tone of voice that gave her away as a fake no it was her clothing she was dressed in flamboyant orange robes with a black and white diamond-shaped patterns decorating it with what seemed like hundreds of bangles and necklaces draped around her I mean who wears that to a job interview it looked like she was going to collapse from the weight of all of it. I was about to give her my best grandfatherly tone and give my condenses about not being able to offer her a job thinking that it would be best if we developed a new elective.
Only for her to go stiff as a brick wall and for her eyes to be devoid of any irises her tone got my attention the tone she used when she talked was no longer a mystical misty tone now she was speaking in a rasping voice that looked as though she was pained to speak when she finally managed to get words out it was in a pained hushed tone.
"Born as the eighth month dies the chosen one approaches
Born of neither light of darkness but the redness of the sky
She can win the war and end it all
She will be alone till she meets the four who complete her
The dark horse masquerading as death
The son of black and white
The one who plays with fire for fun
And the first pup of a newborn pack
Find the mates and find the one the sight shall ignite the bond
Beware her power she will be marked by the moon and blessed by the sun
She is coming "
In the corner of my eye, I see a man in long black robes making a break for the door.
Damn
That means that the Tom will likely hear the prophecy within the hour. Which means I need to act fast and find her whoever she is before Tom does good lord knows what he would do with the child if he found her. I look at Sybil who is having a coughing fit she takes a drink of her cider and continues talking as though she didn't just give a real prophecy I hold up my hand to interrupt her
"Sybil my dear I would be delighted to offer you job the next professor of divination at Hogwarts starting this September you will need to arrive two weeks before students arrive" I look to gouge her reaction to see that she is beaming "If you excuse me, my dear, I have some paperwork to fill out I will owl you the details and hope to see you soon " she jumps up out of her seat dislodging the large magnifying glasses that rest on her face as she did so
"yes headmaster I would be most pleased to teach the next generations how to see with their inner eye I know that they will not all have the gift of course but " I hold my hand up before she begins to ramble again!
"Yes. Yes my dear that is perfect I look forward to it now if you excuse me " I nod in her direction and leave before she can reply knowing that I now need to talk to mini before she uses me as a cat scratching post again like the time I told her that I was going to continue divination a quick nod to my brother and I leave the Hogshead heading out to the fireplace flooding and to my office. Perks of being the headmaster. I sit behind my mahogany desk and staple my fingers and think about what I heard tonight.
Who is this girl?
Where is she?
Who are her mates?
I need to find her before Tom does!u
How I find her?
What will I do when I find her?
Should I tell the order?
For the last one, I decided that I could help me find her mates I need to find them before I can find her, but the clues are so cryptic who the hell is a horse pretending to be death how does that even work? I sigh and rub my hand my face and walk over to the fireplace throwing some floo powder and call for "Mini "
"yes Albus"
"Call an order meeting please and then come to my office"
"what's the matter Albus" I can hear the emotion in her voice fretting to spill if another one her cubs, her past students, dies.
"We have some hope Mini and before you ask any more question please call the order meeting as soon as possible make sure that everyone is there, and I mean Everyone "her eyes goes wide she nods and her head disappears.
Twenty minutes later
Mini walked into Dumbledore office never forgetting the awe that she felt when she saw Albus office filled to the brim with odd knickknack on every surface the majestic bird in the corner looking down presumably he his close to his burning day. Albus is sat behind his large desk staring out into space with a calculating look on his face that often led to trouble. He said that he had found hope in this war, but I couldn't help but wonder what the price would be for such a thing. I cough gaining his attention.
"Mini " Dumbledore great
"Albus" I nod back "the meeting is in five minutes at the usual place. Are you going to tell me what this is about? "
"A prophecy was made today" I let out a strangled yelp my eyes wide and my jaw dropped
"what did it say? who gave the prophecy? are you sure that it is real? "I fire questions rapidly wanting to know more but he suddenly stands and hold up his hand stopping me from continuing
"All will be explained at the meeting, shall we. We don't want to wait "I nod and step into the fireplace grabbing some floo powder on my way throwing it down a shout
"Potter Manor "and disappeared in a flash of green a slight nausea feeling in my gut.
20 minutes earlier in London
SPOV
I am being sat on the red and gold sofa holding my godson, who was currently pulling his black hair, in prongs and Lily's house in Godric's Hollow. Harry was one and a half months old and had a thing for pulling the hair of whoever is holding him. Unluckily today's victim happens to be me. Moony is sitting next to me his eyes flashing gold every few moments I sign that his inner wolf is over the moon, pun intended, about the newest addition to our little pack the first pup. Lilly is curled up in James lap her head tucked under his chin her eyes closed the same as James's most likely due to exhaustion. I've always liked this when it is just us the pack members our family that we chose instead of the family we have been born into all have our reasons to need a new family some darker than others. Quiet moments like this allows me feels as though we are not in the middle of a war with a synoptic megalomaniac who wants to have a world filled with purebloods, but not just any purebloods no but those who are completely under his control and believe in blood supremacy. Just as Harry's gurgling sounds start to quite down showing signs of sleep a silver-blue cat leaps through the wall startling all those in the room when its mouth opens and McGonigal's voice rings through the room.
"EMERGENCY ORDER MEETING ALL NEED TO ATTEND NO EXCUSES NORMAL LOCATION 20 MINUTES. "
A now very awake James and Lilly jump to their feet and whilst Lily goes to pack a diaper bag to take Harry along with them to the meeting whilst James paces back and forth muttering to himself mine and Moony's eyes following them as he walked the weight of the living room after about five minutes I finally snap
"What the hell are you doing Prongs" he stops and looks at me wide-eyed as though I grew an extra head
"what do you think that McGonigal needs to call an emergency meeting for who else is going to die. I lost my mum and dad pads I cannot lose anyone else. What is You-know-who being after us again you knew how much he wants the Potter volts"
"it will be ok just don't panic you know that you always overreact when you pace. "he nods but continues to pace regardless I glance at Moony to see that he has an amused look on his face as he regards prongs softly, but his amber eyes tell me that he too is freaking out over an emergency meeting.
A few minutes later and we are ready to go Lily had to snap at James for nearly wearing a hole in the carpet. One by one I watch as my family disappear through the fireplace; Lily with Harry securely in her arms followed by James and me leaving Moony to bring up the rear. Walking into Potter Manor was like getting kicked in the gut when Dorea and Charlus or mum and dad died we couldn't live there anymore so Lily and Prongs went to live in Potter cottage whilst I and Moony bought a flat in Diagon Ally. Whilst scanning the room I see that we are only waiting for McGonagall and Dumbledore. Unlike most order meeting everyone turned up to this one most of them wearing equal nervous expressions, we go sit next to Alice, Frank and Madam Longbottom on the long wide table that takes up the centre of the ballroom. There are a whoosh and Dumbledore and McGonagall step through with serious expressions Dumbledore takes the head seat with McGonigal taking the one to his right.
"Good evening everyone thanks you for coming so soon but something has come to light that gives me hope for the future "everyone starts talking at once wanting to know what it is that is apparently going to win us the war
"Spit It out Dumbledore "Moody growled
"A prophecy has been made" he held up his hand for us to remain quite do that he can continue "This afternoon whilst interviewing a new divination teacher " McGonigal made a snorting noise " Anyway she gave a prophecy about a special little girl who will have the power to stop the war"
"what do you mean little " Askes Lily always the mother not wanting to put the entire fate of the wizarding world on a little girl
"See that's what's I am not sure. For all, we know she has not been born yet "
Pandemonium broke out
"QUITE" Dumbledore spoke using a sorous charm when we all looked properly chastised he continued " right now you are you going to be quite " everyone nodded " right then I am going to repeat the prophecy because there is bit about her having mates that I don't understand and something tells me someone might be able to shed some insight right
"Born as the eighth month dies the chosen one approaches
Born of neither light of darkness but the redness of the sky
She can win the war and end it all
She will be alone till she meets the four who complete her
The dark horse masquerading as death
The son of black and white
The one who plays with fire for fun
And the first pup of a newborn pack
Find the mates and find the one the sight shall ignite the bond
Beware her power she will be marked by the moon and blessed by the sun
She is coming "
I pale because of I pretty sure that the black horse represents myself referring to my animagus form is a large black dog which could be mistaken by for a Grim the of death. I look to Lily to Remus to James and notice they are all looking at me with wide eyes and pale skin tones it's not long before James being James yells "SHIT" and just like that everyone in the room is looking at us expectedly.
JPOV
After hearing the prophecy everyone is quite trying to understand the riddle that it was I keep going over the bit about mates because it reminds me of something lily once talked about with Remus saying the whole thing was wildly romantic.
And then it hits me like a train.
The dark horse masquerading as death is bloody Sirius
The black horse could is the representation of his house the Most ancient and noble house of Black and the reference to death is the reference to his animagus form as it can be mistaken as a Grim the messenger of death. HOLLY CRAP PADS THE MATE OF A BABY a grimace and looks at Pad only to see him staring right at me his grey eyes glazed over his jaw open and his eyes wide likely figuring out the same thing.
"SHIT"
Everyone looks at me and I flush red and mumble under my breath
"Speak up pansy "Knowing that its Moody and rather an order then request I speak up knowing that this is important "Sirius is the Black horse and Harry is the pup "
"HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK I didn't even think of that "was Pads Reply before absolute chaos.
Two hours later
After Sirius had finally calmed down enough to explained what the hell he was on about including becoming illegal animagus to help Remus with the full moons which Moody and McGonigal yelled for a solid hour about how they were irresponsible , illegal or how useful that skill could have been to know at an earlier date it then took a further half an hour to why they though The dark horse masquerading as death was sirius which when explaining all the evidence it made sense it then took longer for them to explain why to Harry was the pup and why they constituted as a pack which again led to may yell replies from some people that just didn't understand the pack bond between an Alpha and a Pack.
So, in the end, it was concluded that they already had two of the witch's mates meaning that all they had to find the other two or hope that the witch comes to find her two mates that they know of. But with the month that she could be born in just under a month away they decided that they will make plans to try and find the witch looking for any of the signs that were described mostly the red moon. It was decided that it was imperative that the order find the little witch before the dark lord does because if he finds the little girl first he could win the war and cause unknown damage on the wizarding world. They though had an advantage over the dark lord as he would naturally assume that she is going to be a pureblood or a the very least a half-blood like himself the order though would include muggle-borns in their search as they know that blood has nothing to do with how powerful someone is. After all other business was taken care of everyone went their own way wanting to digest what they have just heard.
-AUGUST 31ST, 1980 6pm
He knew that it may be this year and to be honest with himself he wanted it to be this year the less year between the little witch and himself the better. But it's one thing to think about it its another thing to see the blood red moon hung in the sky for some unknown reason Moony didn't transform today. He thinks it has to do with the red moon.
I have a Soulmate is going to be born today
I have a mate
I am going to be a lecher being in a relationship with a girl that is nigh teen years older than her.
The order got called as soon as the red moon begun we all knew what it meant that the girl would be born today that means that the race has begun the death eaters have been extra agitated today wanting to find the girl to impress their master.
Dumbledore has split us up into a team to search muggle hospitals around England in case she turns out to be a half-blood or a Muggle-born he said that if she is as powerful as the prophecy said then we should be able to detect a power surge when she is born. All wizard and witches have them but most of them are so small that they go unnoticed the more powerful the wizard or witch the greater the power surge.
Royal Primrose hospital SURRY 6: 30 pm
"You did this to me you son of a bitch you are never going to touch me again do you understand me "the hysterical woman yelled at her grinning husband held tightly to her hand grinning like a fool and nodding in understanding. God, she hated him in this moment he got her into this situation. He is the one that forgot the condom and ended them in this situation in the hospital screaming like a banshee whilst giving birth to their daughter whom they have decided to call Hermione Page Granger after my favourite book of all time A Winter's Tale by Shakespeare and page after her grandmother.
"one last push "I swear if that SOB tells me to push one last time then I am going to punch him. I push one last time putting my everything in to that push and was rewarded by the whale of a child and in that moment where I was exhausted and gross I thought it was the best sound I have ever heard they quickly cleaned her up and handed her to me and in that moment, I knew that it was worth it to have this beautiful little girl. Her husband was leaning over taking her little hand in his and whispering "Hello my baby girl "he kissed me on the head weeping at the sight of our little baby girl.
Unknown to all the muggles in the room a pulse of golden energy radiated when little Hermione was born one so strong that every wizard and witch and even squib felt it in the entirety of England. And when they did some wondered what they had just felt as they had the need to bend on one knee in submission to the power that took them over some did and others had to sit to avoid it. Those who knew the order and the dark lord felt the power and were in awe of the power this one which would have possessed as they all felt the need to submit even the dark lord and Dumbledore who are meant to be the most powerful wizards of all time. When they realised that they had underestimated the witches power meaning that they had to double their efforts to find the witch knowing that if the other side found her then there would be no doubt that side would win the war.
The moment that she was born however felt different for the four wizards whom she is destined for all felt as though they had a piece of them were missing had been found and all developed new distinctive marks on their body somewhere that cannot be seen with clothes on. Sirius had developed a mark on his lower hip the shape the sun it was about the size of a gallon, Harry had accrued a mark in the same place of a moon and two other wizards accrued a star and another a flame.
