A/N: Hi everyone! Welcome to my little creation, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Reviews are very welcome, in fact I encourage them. Thanks everyone for being curious enough to click through. Now have fun reading!
Hermione Jane Granger that is the name I grew up with and the name that will always be on my tongue when greeting. Amber Cleo Madison is what I have to greet people with these days. Confused yet? Well how about I start from the start, the morning of the day my parents and I moved back.
I woke up on a beautiful Saturday morning, with no clouds in the sky and birds chirping by my window.
Today is the day we're moving, I haven't seen the house, but mum says it's beautiful and big. So I head downstairs to have a quick breakfast then rush around the house helping out mum and dad in any way possible.
"'Mione, dear." My mother called out nervously. I put down my toast on the table and sit next to my mum.
"Yeah, mum." I replied happily.
"I have- well, WE have to tell you something," mum gestured at herself and dad. "We haven't exactly been truthful to you about our lives." Mum paused and glanced nervously at dad, I gave them both a curious look. "We are…oh dear how can I tell you something this big… Hermione… we are not muggles." To stop was her biggest mistake.
"WHAT?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I went ballistic. "WHAT IN MERLINS NAME ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ARE YOU ALIENS, HALFBLOODS or are we Purebloods?" I said the last bit sarcastically because I knew that, that was out of the question, which was until I saw their guilty faces. I tried to talk but I was in shock. At first I thought they were lying, but then I saw dad's wand.
So I just sat there opened mouthed and listened to the explanation they gave me.
"Voldemort was ready to kill us Mi, we were one of the oldest Pureblood families in the world and we refused to join forces with him, so we went into hiding with you and emerged in the world of muggles as the Grangers, as Dentists. We can finally come out into the open as the Madisons, Oldest and Richest Pureblood familly in all of England. You had an easily recognisable name in the wizarding world, so we changed it to Hermione. Your real name is Amber Cleo Madison, lovely name isn't?" My mum dazed off into a world in which Amber was the best name.
"We can finally come out into the open about who we are because of Voldemorts defeat. We should go to the Castle, it's going to be a long day and your carer can show you around." My dad concluded. He moved over to the fireplace and pulled out a loose brick, it was hollow and filled with Floo powder. He grabbed some, threw them into the fire and said clearly, "Castle Madison." before stepping into the fire.
I turned around and looked at my mum who had finally snapped out of her daze and was staring at me intently. "Well? Go on."
I took some Floo powder and flooed to the castle. I entered a room full of portraits and love seats. A little house elf came up to me and told me she was my carer. She showed me to my rooms, yeah I know rooms.
I had a huge bed, a desk, a gigantic walk-in wardrobe, a small private library, a small pool, a TV, a DVD player, a MASSIVE DVD collection, a boom box, all the latest and most coolest CD albums, a Computer, an iPod, a phone, a little art set-up in the corner, a Vanity and my own private bathroom. Complete with a waterfall and pool for a shower and bath, a toilet, a HUGE mirror and it even had one of those towel rack warmers.
After about an hour going through my rooms, (I found a guest room!) Yayla, the house elf, showed me the rest of the castle and the grounds. I got bored after a while so decided to go to my rooms to talk with Ginny on MDWNC or Modern Day Wizard Net Chat.
I logged in and changed my display name to 'Amber Eyes'.
I looked through the Hogwarts list until I came across '' who was online, under the display name 'last time I checked…'. Yay, I'm going to invite her over for the night and she can see my new life.
It's not that I didn't like my life back there, it's just that now I have something new to look at and I love exciting stuff. Anyway I'm just going to ask Ginny over.
Amber Eyes: Ginny, Ginny, Ginny ever heard of SOAP… don't ask I'm being random.
Last time I checked…: Okay...Mione are you okay, you're never random.
Amber Eyes: I told you not to ask… wanna sleep over?
Last time I checked…: Sure. Hey didn't you just move?
Amber Eyes: Yeah. You can Floo over, its Floo Registered as 18702 you got it?
Last time I checked…: Yep…hang on I recognise that number. I'll get it eventually. What do I bring?
Amber Eyes: Don't worry about anything. Just Floo over and I'll see you in about an hour kk
Last time I checked…: ummm…okay see you soon. Bye
Amber Eyes: Bye Gin, say hi to the boys for me.
Last time I checked… has signed out.
I scrolled down the list of Hoggies and tried to find someone that sounded at least a little bit interesting that I could talk to.
I found one, the address was '' display name 'he-who-just-doesn't-care'. Don't ask me why that caught my eye but hey can't blame me, I was BORED.
Amber Eyes: Hey, sup, what year?
He-who-just-doesn't-care: Hey, nm, 7th this year. You
Amber Eyes: same… For all of them.
He-who-just-doesn't-care: k, what's ya name? You don't have to tell we can have fake names and stuff if you want. Just for security.
Amber Eyes: Amber, I'm Amber. What about you Mr Security?
He-who-just-doesn't-care: lol. Funny, very cute. Jesse, I'm Jesse. Hows that, good name?
Amber Eyes: I could care less. lol. You seem intelligent. Are you?
He-who-just-doesn't-care: almost the Best. What about you.
Amber Eyes: Same a you. Funny how we seem to have so much in common isn't it?
He-who-just-doesn't-care: Nah. I think its cute.
Amber Eyes: Well isn't that just wonderful. You obviously think everything is cute. Are you sure you're a guy.
He-who-just-doesn't-care: Yes and by the way you're acting towards me I'd say you're a girl.
Amber Eyes: Snaps for Jesse. Well done you are smart!
He-who-just-doesn't-care: Shut up. So what are you doing tonight?
Amber Eyes: I have a friend coming over. What about you?
He-who-just-doesn't-care: Same. You were right we do have a lot in common. I better go, he should be here soon. I have two computers so I'll hop online later with him okay. Talk to you then bye.
Amber Eyes: Bye Jesse talk to you then as well. I have two computers too so we'll join you. Cya
He-who-just-doesn't-care: Cya
He-who-just-doesn't-care has logged off.
You can no longer read this conversation because you have logged off.
"YAYLA!" I scream as soon as I log off. A pop and Yayla stands before me. "Yayla, I need you to get another laptop, like mine okay. Quickly please." Yayla nods and bows before disappearing.
I rush downstairs to tell mum about Ginny coming over. She nods and I rush over to the Floo room.
"Amber!" my dad cries surprised when he sees me. "My dear, you still have not changed. Oh, you will change appearances soon." I smile widely at the news. "Shall we speed up the process dear?"
I nod rapidly and dad starts saying something in Latin.
Dad smiles at me and nods too. I fumble around for my pocket mirror. I gasp at the person in the mirror. Straight Golden hair tumbles out of my head in masses and on further inspection I find that it ends at the lower part of my back. Wonderfully crafted amber eyes blink out at me, and, if she's not already beautiful enough for you, well; her, or my, tanned skin creates a perfect canvas. I am stunning, if I do say so my self. I'm taller and skinner than before and I actually have curves, all in the right places.
I'm disrupted from my admiration by the fire spitting Ginny out. "Ginny, oh Merlin I am so glad you are here. I've got so much to tell you!"
Ginny stares at me. "Who are you?"
I giggle. "'Mione! Well actually it's Amber, but I'll explain that after we shower. Come on, I'll show you my rooms." I drag Ginny behind me up stairs, down hallways and round corners until we reach a multi-coloured door.
I push open the doors and lead Ginny into my room. "Wardrobe, bathroom, your room, the pool and the library. Well what do you think?" I ask after showing her around.
"Wow." Ginny said. "Explain 'Mione, now!"
"I'm a Pureblood." I start, "I'm Amber Cleo Madison. Heiress of the oldest and richest pureblood family in all of England! Cool, huh. First week of August I might have Harry, Ron and you over. We can have this room and the boys can have the guest room. But considering you will probably be the only one using it, it's your room. Now hurry up, there's a wardrobe in your room get your bathers and come to the pool room. See you in a few."
Ginny nods and I exit the room. I slip into a purple bikini and step into the pool room. I canon ball, into the water, and start to swim laps. After three laps Ginny enters the room in an olive green bikini and she follows my lead, by canon balling into the pool right next to me, causing me to be splashed. We start a full on water war, laughing and swimming away from each other.
