Chapter One

"So this is Diagon Alley?" Muttered a soft female voice from beside Hermione Granger, her twin sister.

"Yes, Amaranth. This is were we will get all your stuff and anything else you might need." Hermione smiled tightly at her younger twin sister as she watched her looking around with a sharp eye.

Amaranth had changed from a tom boy, brace wearing female to a beautiful young lady. Though they were twins people could not mistake them for the other. Amaranth has long hip length dark amber soft colored hair with added blood red highlights. Her skin was like fresh snow porcelain and her body was well toned and curvy encased in; a black tight tang-top that said 'Come loser, I don't bite ... Much'. Black hip hugging ripped in the knees route sixty-six jeans with black scuffed steel toed leather boots. She wore a black choker around her neck with a locket dangling from it as well. Her hair was pulled in high pony-tail with a black ribbon in a bow. Her cheek bones were high and she has a heart shaped face with her lips the color of fresh blood pulled into a straight line. She wore black leather fingerless fighting gloves with her nails painted an deep emerald green. A floor length black leather jacket as well.

She has almond shaped eyes with full thick long dark eyelashes framing bright Amethyst/Purple colored eyes that were warm but could go cold in an instant.

"Well, I have to go the bank first. So, just point me in the direction of it." Amaranth looked at Hermione with an arched eyebrow as she made a sound of protest.

"I don't think you should go anywhere alone." Hermione protested but froze as her sister gave her a dark filled look.

"I am seventeen years old. I don't need a fucking babysitter, Hermione Jean." Hissed Amaranth coolly as she leveled a cold look onto her sister.

"Very well. Go straight down this path. The bank will say Gringotts." She pointed down the walk way and watched as her sister walked away without another word to her.

Amaranth walked down the walk away and avoided people from touching her as she refused to be touched by anyone. Not after some many years of dreading in someone touching her. Looking up she smirked as she spotted the bank easily and walked into it with a nod to the door man. Looking around she was giddy and surprised as she saw Goblins here, she grinned as she waved hi to one; shocking them into silence as she was polite to them.

Walking head she waited in line for what seemed like the head Goblin and crossed her arms as she got a good look at everything was happy to note that everything seemed very old; meaning it had very good history in it. Feeling someone touch her, caused her to whirl around in alarm but was shocked as she saw a Goblin with a calm look.

"Is there a problem Mr...?" She raised an eyebrow down the Goblin with an confused look upon her face.

"Griphook." He spoke with a nod of his head to her gaining a bright smile from the seemly powerful witch. He had felt her power the minute she had walked through the doors and knew she was going to be a great addition to Gringotts.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Griphook?' Amaranth gave him a nod of respect as he seemed to preen at being shown so much respect.

"No not at all. I have come over to lend my assistance. For it seems you are new to our wonderful bank of Gringotts." He spoke with of his bank and was awarded with another smile from her.

"That would be wonderful. Do we do business here or do we go to your office?" Amaranth smiled down to him as he turned and led the way. For the life her and all that she had been forced to endure; she could not be rude to this Goblin or the others here.

Walking down, she looked ahead and looked on with curiosity as she saw a man with long shoulder length platinum white colored hair. Lightly tanned skin with dark pink full lips and was wearing a black and green out-fit with a walking stick with a snake as the head. He turned and glanced at them and she saw he had piercing dark blue/silver eyes.

"Afternoon, Mr. Malfoy." Griphook spoke as they went walk by him but was stopped as he spoke.

"Griphook. Is this a new a customer?" Asked the man as he looked Amaranth over an decide she had to be an American Witch from the States.

"Yes, I am, Mr. Malfoy." Amaranth spoke with a calm and calculating look to him as she cocked her head at him.

"And you are?" He asked as he noted she had an American accent but there was a slight English accent as well in her nice husky soft tone.

"My name is, Amaranth Arcadia Granger." She answered and held out her hand to him with a calm look though she fought the urge as he took her hand, to flinch not really liking to be touched.

"Granger? Are you related to a Hermione Granger?" He asked as he lightly brushed his lips across her hand and allowed her to pull it away from him.

"She's my twin and please refrain from calling me a Mudblood for I have not insulted you." Her eyes narrowed some as she looked at him.

"I would never for it seems you have something that she lacks. Manners and call me, Lucius. Are you going into Hogwarts this year?" He asked with an arched eyebrow. For some reason, he felt no dislike for this young woman.

"Don't remind me. Tell me, why does my sister hate Slytherin" She asked with an arched eyebrow with curiosity in her eyes.

"Gryffindor and Slytherin house hate one another. Your sister is in Gryffindor." He answered as something flashed in her eyes as she fought a wicked smirk.

"Well, I hope I can get in Slytherin. I care for my sister but I do not want to share a dam room with her." Amaranth spoke and received two chuckles from the males.

"Miss Granger. This way please, so we can set up your account and get you started." Griphook spoke with a nod to the witch as she shocked him. She was receiving respect from one of the most dangerous Wizard around.

"Right. I have two thousand dollars to exchange for Wizard money in my new account." She spoke with a nod and received shocked looks from both.

"Yes of course. You will prosper here very well." Nodded Griphook as he was shocked that she was going to be a very rich young witch.

"Well, I shall leave you to your business." Lucius spoke with a nod of his head to them both before making a slight decision.

Amaranth watched in confusion as he spoke in a different language to Griphook. Who in return nodded his head back with a slight shocked look upon his face. She watched as Lucius stood back up and nodded goodbye before leaving them.

"Come." Nodded Griphook to the female as he walked into his office with her following straight behind him

Two hours Later

She smiled as she sighed the last of her paper work. Her vault now had all the protection it would ever need. She was surprised at how much Gallons was put in her vault. Twenty thousand Gallons was now resting safely in her vault. Though she had withdrew four hundred and smiled as Griphook had looked pleased as she asked him to be her main banker and no one else would touch her vault unless it was the top manager here at Gringotts.

Amaranth followed Griphook back down the hall way and out into the main area. He walked her to the doors and both bowed to the other with respect.

"It was a pleasure to meet and do business with you, Griphook. I trust you to look after everything that belongs to me." She smiled down to the Goblin and saw others were eyeing them with curiosity.

"I will need and also take the amount you have requested to pay me. Have a prosper filled day." He spoke back as everyone now looked shock at them.

"You as well, my friend." Amaranth turned and walked out the door and back down the streets of Diagon alley.

She looked around to see if she could spot her sister but sighed as she didn't see her anywhere. Seeing the pet shop, she got curious and walked into the place and looked around her. Moving she walked further in and looked at some cages that held different pets. One caught her attention, it was a beautiful black panther cub. He looked about four-five months old with big emerald green expressive eyes. Reading the sigh, it said he was a sizable Shadow and Ice Panther and could grew his size if he wished.

"Hey there, sweets. Wanna come live with me," She opened the cage and held out her hand slowly as he sniffed her hand before launching upward and in her arms. He rubbed his head against her and purred loudly with comfort and joy, "I'll take that as a yes. I will name you, Ceres." she nodded her head and turned but gave a smile as a lady gave her a basket for her things. She picked him up some treats for him along with some toys as well. Before looking around some more and ended up stopping as she spotted a beautiful pearl ice gray snake. The sigh said he was a python but she would beg to differ.

Twenty-minutes later

Amaranth walked out of the pet shop with her things shrink in her pocket. The shop had give her a discount and helped her as she left with her Panther (Ceres), her Snake (Salazar) and her Great Horned Hawk Eagle (Godric); which was one of the biggest dam birds around according to the sales lady. Walking down the street she smiled as Salazar curled around her neck and nuzzled into her neck. She held Ceres in her arms as Godric flew high in the air with a small shriek as he circled; so, she guessed he could keep and eye on her. After about two more hours, she had all her things that she needed even her robes though she had bought the males uniform instead of the females and some other clothes as well. After all that, she had two hundred Gallons left to spend.

Her stomach grumbled at her and she looked around for a place to eat. Seeing a nice Italian place and making up her mind and walked over to the place. Walking in, she ignored as some people stopped and gave her curious looks. While waiting for a waiter, she petted a happily purring Ceres as he let his eyes droop in content at her stroking his ears.

"Miss Granger, so lovely to see you again." Spoke up Lucius's deep voice from behind her causing her to whirl around and look at him.

"Hello, Lucius." She smiled and looked to the other two with him. One was a boy around her age and the other was around Lucius's age. He had ear length black soft raven hair, pale healthy skin with light pink full lips. He wore black wizard robes along with his piercing black/brown eyes staring at her.

"Granger? What the bloody hell have you done with yourself?" The boy that looked like Lucius asked with a shocked look upon his face.

"Excuse me? I don't think we have ever met before," Spoke as she cocked her head to the side before she realized that he must know her sister, "Damn, I am Amaranth Granger not Hermione Granger. She's my twin sister." She nodded her head as the two new comers stared at her shock.

"This is my son Draco Malfoy and my son's Godfather Severus Snape a Potion Master along with being the Potion's Professor at Hogwarts and the head of Slytherin house." Explained Lucius with a calm look though he eyed the Panther cub in her arms that was glaring at them with his vibrate green eyes.

"Nice to meet you both." She nodded her head and turned as a male waiter came walking up with a charming smile to her.

"We have a table out-side if you wish, Madam. Since it is a wonderful and sunny day." He flirted in plain sight to her causing her Panther to growl.

"Out-side is perfect." Nodded Amaranth as she rubbed Ceres's ears to calm him down.

"Would you oppose to some company?" Lucius asked as Severus and his son eyed him with confusion in their eyes.

"Nope. That will be a table for four." She looked at him with a nod of her head to the waiter as he led them back out-side and to a table with five chairs. She sat Ceres down on the fifth chair and sat down beside him as they other three took their seats.

"Is this your first year at Hogwarts?"Asked Draco to her with an arched eyebrow as she looked up to the sky real quick before looking at him.

"Yep. Some too many names Dumbledore is sorting me into the seventh year with the others." She answered with a nod of her head as she looked over her menu and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Which house are you hoping to get?" Asked Draco again as he found her intriguing to know.

"Any house that my sister isn't in or near." She looked up with a nod her head as Lucius nodded his head and continued to speak with Severus in low tones.

After they ordered their drinks and food. The waiter left and Amaranth smiled as Ceres was purring in his sleep on the chair. She reached over and scratched his ears lightly before she pulled away and looked to the others.

"What kind of Panther is he?" Asked Lucius to the female with a calculating look. She held a very unique beauty about her and her eyes were exotic looking as well. He could tell she wasn't like anything like her sister and her shirt was funny.

"Well, the sign said he was a Shadow and Ice Panther. And that he could make himself grow in size if he wished too." She answered and glanced up looking for Godric so she could give him the bacon that was coming that she ordered for him.

"Rare and very temperamental to chose. They are very picky on who they chose as their Master or Mistress and are very over protective of them." Spoke up Draco as he peaked over and looked at the Panther but froze as said Panther cracked open an eye and glared at him.

"Ceres is fine. I have always preferred the company of animals than to humans. They are loyal and will never betray you unless you betray them." She spoke with a nod of her as they nodded back to her.

As soon as their food arrived she looked back up into the sky with a small frown upon her face as she looked for Godric to feed him his bacon since Ceres was lapping up his milk and eating some bacon.

"What are you looking for, Miss Granger?" Severus asked the female with an arched eyebrow as she looked at him with a sheepish look upon her face.

"Godric. I am looking for Godric and call me Amaranth or Ratha while we're not in school." She spoke looking in the sky with narrowed eyes before she let out a whistle for her bird.

"Godric?" Draco gave a bewildered look as his father and Godfather arched their eyebrows.

They all three glanced up as they heard a small shriek. The Great Horned Hawk Eagle landed on the table beside her and reached over and nipped at her chin with affection. She reached over and gently ran her fingers over his feathers as he leaned into her touch before he snatched up some bacon and chowed down.

"You like dangerous and temperamental animals don't you?" Lucius smirked as he saw the bird was eating but was looking at them with bright gold eyes as if he was determining if they posed a threat to his mistress.

"Some people are just highly over rated in thinking that just because the animal is dangerous is that they deserve to die or be caged forever." She snorted and took a bite of her sauce mushrooms.

"Anymore surprises that I should expect if you may be put in my House?" Asked Severus as he was surprised that he found this chit to be amusing and not annoying like her know it all twin sister.

"Well, there is Salazar." She spoke with a sheepish look as they now looked more amused at her names for her pets.

"What is Salazar a snake?" Joked Draco as he got along with the female but he blanched as he saw her guilty and happy look.

She reached her hand over and petted something under her black leather jacket and brought out the snake as he was around her wrist and arm. He was a pearl ice gray color with piercing acid colored vibrate red eyes.

"The sign said he was a python but that's a load of bullshit in an half. I have had a Python before and he is no Python." She scuffed and gently ran her fingers over his head and down his body.

"Ratha, do you know you are in fact holding a Basilisk snake and a male at that.' Lucius fought the urge to let his mouth drop open at the snake in her arms. He watched as she placed the snake around her neck again and he wrapped twice before settling on her shoulder with content look.

"Really I read about them in a book I bought. Oh. well I hope no pisses him off cause it's their funeral." She shrugged causing Draco to give a laugh at her words.

"Dam." whistled Draco as he laughed at the girl. She was allot more fun than her sister and more interesting as well to talk too.

"So, Professor is there anything I should know so as to not get on your bad side?" Amaranth grinned at a smirking Severus as he shook his head at her.

"Ya, don't blurt out answers or constantly raise your hand like your sister does all the time." Draco snorted at her as she sighed and rolled her eyes at her sister.

"Have you had any magical schooling?" Asked Severus with a frown upon his face as he stared at the female.

"No. To tell the truth I had a magical binding on me till just about a two months ago. I was arguing with some dumbass boy that wouldn't leave me alone and all of a sudden I felt something explode from me and knock me twenty feet back in the air. When I got back up, everything in the house I was staying in was destroyed, the boy was injured but not fatal. Than that old man, Dumbledore shows up and explains everything to me." She answered and took a bite of her food as they looked at her in shock.

'If you need any help with anything let me know and I can help you." Draco spoke as he saw his father give him a prideful look.

"Thanks but it seems magic comes easy to me as does riding a bike," She spoke as she nodded to them as they nodded back to her, "Can I ask you question?" She looked at Severus and Lucius with a confused look.

"Ask away my dear." Smirked Lucius to her as he found himself becoming quite attached to her.

"Is it normal for someone to be able to do magic without a wand?" She asked with an arched eyebrow as both looked intrigued with her.

"It is rare but not unheard of." He nodded to her before he realized what she was talking about, "You can do magic without a wand?" He looked shocked at her.

"Sometimes yes but not all the time. My wand is thirteen inches with dragon hearts string, phoenix feather, unicorn hair, basilisk fang residing in the core." She answered with a nod of her head as she finished her lunch and watched as they eyed her in shock.

"I did not think a wand came like that." Spoke Severus with a calculating look upon his face as he watched her closely.

"They don't as what the wand maker told me. He made it for me right then and there with all the stuff he needed." She held up her wand and showed them it. Her wand as pitch black with white runes carved in all over it.

"I really hope your in Slytherin. It would be nice to hang out with a female that is smart and that doesn't talk about nothing but boys." Draco grinned as she tured and grinned at him with something flashing in her eyes.

"Amaranth!" Shouted Hermione's voice with a scolding to it as she hurried up to their table.

"Someone hex me." Muttered Amaranth under her breath as she groaned in seeing her sister come running to her table. As Godric took to the air and flew in a circle around them in the sky.

"Good Luck." Draco patted her knee but frowned a she flinched back from him some and gave him a strained smile.

"Hello Hermione." Amaranth looked at her sister with a force polite look upon her face.

"I have been searching everywhere for you. What are you doing?" Hermione demanded coldly but knew that was a mistake as her sister looked at her with a cold look inside of her eyes.

"After I got done at the bank, I went to get the things I needed and as to what I am doing. I was eating lunch with these nice people till you decided to be rude. So, do yourself a favor little girl and drop the fucking attitude before you regret it." Amaranth lowered her voice to a cold icy tone as her eyes looked frozen in place as she stood to her full height and they saw she was taller than Hermione.

"Watch your mouth." Hermione snipped back but was afraid of her sister. She knew her sister could cause a great deal a damage to the one that pissed her off. Their father and Amaranth had come to blows a few times cause of their fighting.

"You presume to tell me what to do, Daddy's precious little Prodigy."Amaranth felt the chain on her tightly kept at bay temper slipping. She knew she was going to pay for this later but she didn't care about that.

"If your going to be a bloody wanker than I will see you later at home." Snapped Hermione as she turned and stormed off leaving a severally pissed Amaranth in her wake.

"Please excuse me. I have to go." She turned and nodded to her guest and left a few Gallons on the table before she picked up a now awake Ceres and followed after her sister.

"Something's not right here." Draco spoke with a confused look as the two adults nodded their heads back to him as they watched the departing angered witch.
