When she walked into the compartment, he suddenly stopped talking Hermione instantly noticed that Ron wasn't talking to himself. He was talking to some blonde and unknown Ravenclaw.
"Oh my God Ron. Congratulations on getting Head Boy, you deserve it." the Ravenclaw squealed. Hermione just sat down next to him with her hood on. "Who are you?" the girl asked in tone that didn't hit Hermione right.
"Hi" said Hermione pulling off her hood and pulling her Head Girl badge out of her pocket. "I'm Hermione Granger Head Girl, and you're right. Ron you do deserve to be Head Boy. I am very proud of you." Hermione pretended not to notice the blush on Ron's neck, as she attempted to hide the blush that crept on her cheeks when he smiled at her. The Ravenclaw girl just stood there, watching them.
"Do you two go out, because you told me you didn't have a girlfriend." she said to Ron. Ron and Hermione both blushed crimson. Ron attempted to speak first.
"I, uh t- t-told y- yo- you the t- tr- the truth. Hermione here is, um, she's j- j- just my friend." explained a red faced Ron. Hermione felt this the best time to lighten the mood.
"Om My God, Ron! I thought I was your BEST friend." said Hermione in mock rage/ hurt. It did indeed lighten the moment. The three just laughed. When the laughter calmed down the compartment filled with prefects. Ron gave the speech and Hermione was actually turned on by the way he instantly became serious and took care of everything. The prefects all left leaving Ron and Hermione alone. OH NO.
"You are my best friend. You know that, don't you?" asked Ron. Hermione's face lit up and a reflection of that was shown on the weather. But she felt that in order to have their friendship back she should be honest with him. She shook her head 'no'.
"I didn't think you liked me anymore, because of all that's happened this summer." said Hermione tentatively. Ron stood quiet for a moment then chuckled. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"You make it seem like ages ago. It was only two days." said Ron with a light chuckle. Hermione gave a light chuckle also. "Don't worry Hermie, no matter what, I'll always like you, enough." Hermione's eyes went wide at the last part. She raised an eyebrow. "I was just joking." he said as he put his hands up in surrender.
"Does this mean things are back to normal with us?" she asked tentatively looking down.
"Yes." he said firmly as he hugged her. They were there two hours later.
They didn't even notice that they hadn't even seen Harry or Ginny the whole trip. The whole trip left Hermione and Ron alone together. When they got into the great Hall they saw Harry and Ginny sitting next to each other. They sat down as McGonagall gave a speech.
"And now, I am sure that you would like to meet your new teachers. One of these faces is a familiar one. Your old but new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is Mr. Remus Lupin, your new Transfiguration teacher is Ms. Veronica Granger and last but not least your new Care of Magical Creatures teacher is Mr. Charles Weasley." The Gryffindore table was the loudest when it came to the introductions. "I would like to start the sorting out with something we've never done before. Professor Granger, if you will." she said gesturing to the chair. Veronica sat down. Before the hat was placed on her head fully it shouted "Gryffindor." The Gryffindors once again erupted in applause. McGonagall stood up again and the sorting began. This was the first year that Hermione didn't watch the sorting, she was too busy watching Ron. But even though she wasn't listening and watching intently something pulled her out of her reverie. A familiar and peculiar name was called. "Black-" As soon as that name was uttered, Ron, Ginny, Lupin, Charlie, Hermione and Harry's eyes bulged as they looked to see who it was. The name was continued. "Black, Krystathaili." They all watched intently, no one was moving. Finally a tall girl with long black hair stepped up and said something to McGonagall. McGonagall smiled gently, as the girl sat down. All of them had different things running through their minds. But none of what they were thinking was anything compared to what Harry was thinking.
She must be evil. But who does she belong to? She must be pure evil. But Harry's thoughts were shocked when as soon as the hat went over her head, it shouted, "As True a Gryffindor as your father." What the hell was that supposed to mean. Who was her father? It couldn't be.
She was the last sorted. Then McGonagall stood up and said, "Let the feast begin." said McGonagall. Krysta sat alone, she obviously didn't see them they were in the middle of the table and she was at the end. She didn't see them until Lavender started talking to Krysta. They all watched her intently as Lavender pointed at Hermione and Krysta looked. The look on her face was more than shocked. She then smiled and waved eagerly. The feast was over ten minutes after that.
"Now, I would like to introduce your Head Boy, Mr. Ronald Weasley and your Head Girl, Ms.
Hermione Granger." When Rona and Hermione stood up everyone clapped, even some Slytherins. "First years follow the heads and every other year follow your house. Gryffindor, I am no longer the head of house, you now have Professor Granger." said McGonagall over the wolf whistles as Veronica stood in front of them.
When all of that was done Harry got an owl that McGonagall and Lupin wanted to see him. Just outside the portrait hole he saw Krysta.
"Hi." she said with a nervous wave, she looked lost. He waved back.
"Hi. Do you need help?" he asked. She laughed.
"Yea." they both laughed. "I'm supposed to go to the headmistresses office. It's only my first day. If I did something that was worth it then, I'm happy to get into trouble, but other than that, I don't care for it." she said. Harry laughed.
"That's McGonagall for you. But you can follow me, I'm supposed to meet her soon." When they reached outside the gargoyle, they both muttered the password and went up the spiral stairs. They got into the office and Lupin, Tonks and McGonagall were staring at them amazed.
"Welcome Ms. Rodriguez, Mr. Potter." said Professor McGonagall letting a small smile escape her lips. Both Harry and Krysta looked confused. "Sit down please and have a biscuit." They both politely turned them down. "Very well. I am sure you're wondering why we've brought you here, and why I accidentally called you Ms. Black downstairs, Ms. Rodriguez." Krysta nodded. Lupin sighed. "Remus, maybe you should explain this." finished McGonagall.
"Hey Harry, Hi Krysta. I'm Professor Lupin. I was a very good friend of your mothers and your fathers." Krysta still looked confused. "I was one of your fathers best friend. You know the story of Harry Potter, I presume."
"Um, I do and I don't. I know various bit, because when I was young I had………. I, um… I had dreams about him." she said very tentatively. They all looked at her.
"What kind of dreams?" asked Lupin. She looked very scared and nervous.
"Not premonitions, but…. I don't know what they are. But in each of the dreams, a woman…. I'm guessing you all know what happens, but I would help him with some things, missions. I can remember now, I've never been able to the next day. But I know it was never supposed to be the power of three, it was supposed to be four." she said. They all nodded.
"I'm not sure why you have those dreams, but you and Harry were like- okay, when's your birthday?" asked Lupin, taking a different approach. She looked at him funny.
"August 30th. You're a werewolf, aren't you?" asked Krysta. Remus nodded.
"Krysta, you and Harry have amazing powers. Do you know where you were born?" he asked her.
"Yes, I was born in England, but we moved a little after my first birthday. But, you know why. Why?" she asked. Remus smiled then it faded.
"That was the night, that everything went wrong. Harry, do you want to be here?" Lupin asked carefully. Harry nodded 'yes'. He then continued. "On Halloween night, James and Lily Potter were murdered by Lord Voldemort. Your birthfather was accused for murder that night." Krysta looked ten times more shocked than when she found out Hermione was a witch. "But, he didn't do it. Another one of our friends betrayed Lily and James and then set your father up. Your dad went to prison for twelve years. Then four years ago, he escaped. How, I don't know, but he did. Do you have any questions so far?" Krysta looked at him.
"You're lying. Those are just dreams." said Krysta. Harry could tell that she just didn't want to accept the truth, and she knew it was true. Remus smiled warmly at her.
"Okay, but then test me. Me and Harry know more about you than anyone in this world. Without wands." he said putting out his hand for Harry's wand and putting Harry's and his own on McGonagall's desk. Krysta was up for the challenge.
"What is my favorite color?" she asked with a smirk.
"Black." said Harry and Remus simultaneously. She seemed unfazed.
"Why is that?" she asked. Harry smiled and answers were automatically pouring out of his mouth.
"You like the word and the way it makes you feel. When you wear he color black your visions seem to be less blurry. Do you want to know why that is?" he asked. She shook her head 'yes'. "Your visions come out clearer, because you know about your father. You've always liked the word. You've always wanted to be called Andy, you love the name Andromeda, but you've never known why. Your middle name is Andromeda, your mom tells you its because of your aunt, Sirius' favorite cousin. You will use any excuse to look at constellations. Your favorite constellation is Orion, and you love dogs and deer. You've been writing on rights for werewolves since you were able to speak. You hate rats with a passion, but you don't know why. Your favorite thing about dogs is the bottom of their feet, it makes you feel happy, touching the feet. You also love antlers. Once, your step uncle took you hunting when you were first developing your powers, and he was about to shoot a deer, all of the bullets from his rifle disappeared and so did the bullets of the other hunters." said Harry, she just looked at him. There was a moment of silence. She finally spoke.
"How do you know all of that?" she asked him.
"I don know, but do you know as much about me?" he asked. She laughed.
"Yes." she whispered. Remus was smiling. "He's dead, isn't he?" she asked in monotonous voice. They all nodded, then looked at her mouths agape. "I think we have telekinesis, I can hear thoughts in his head, and mine are interrupted." she said. Then Remus slapped his forehead.
"Yeah, that's also the more. You and Harry are last of the Potter bloodline. The heir of the estate and everything else, must be in the direct line. James and Lily left everything to both of you. Her vault is right next to yours Harry, and Krysta your father left you and Harry everything. The house is in both of your names. I don't know how to explain what you and Harry are, but its weird, because even though you're not brother and sister you are in fact twins. Not look alike twins, but- Krysta can you take the make-up of your forehead, please?" Remus asked as she pointed her wand at her forehead and a lightening shaped scar appeared on her forehead. Harry was speechless. "If I'm not mistaken, you've met before tonight." said Remus. They both nodded 'yes'. "And Harry you have a new scar also. When did you two meet?" Asked Remus.
"August 28th" said Krysta and Harry in unison. They laughed.
"Did either of you have those scars before then? Don't answer that- but every scar is identical. Harry had 'I will not tell lies' on the back of his hand and so does Krysta, as of August 28th. But there is more. Harry, I believe with the final battle of Voldemort you tried the abridged version of what your mom did to save your life, for Ron and Hermione. Krysta did you have anything to do with that?" asked Remus. She looked speechless.
"I just remembered that dream.. I knew Hermione and Ron looked familiar. I saw Hermione and Ron about to die and I held Harry's hand and I read his thoughts and I started to repeat the same thing in my head." Harry just laughed. They all looked at him.
"I knew I heard a voice in my head, I thought I'd gone mad. But I also, remember someone in my head saying, 'we can do this'. I also have dreams like that." But before Remus asked any questions, Krysta said something.
"When I was in Levebons School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, in California. There were always girls taunting me. I had a bad reputation in school, because I couldn't keep a steady boyfriend and I always hung around boys. One guy took me out over Christmas break and most of my friends weren't in school, they went home. He was my boyfriend for a month. He took me to this place and he said he'd have to blindfold me, it was a 'surprise'. Well, when we were walking he kept trying me. I heard a voice in my head say, 'hold onto your wand and do as I say'. That was you wasn't it Harry?" said Krysta with a smile playing at her lips and a sentimental look in her eye.
"Yeah. But once you did it, I woke up. What was really going on?" he asked her. She got a vengeful look in her eye.
"My reputation, was completely false, and he said that he'd- I just remembered that you guys are here." said Krysta with a laugh. Remus chuckled and so did Harry. McGonagall just smiled and Tonks still looked amazed. "Moony, was always the sensible Marauder? What does that mean? Prongs, Padfoot and WORMTAIL" said Krysta with a growl. "All of the Potter bloodline has a special gift. We share the same gifts, because we were always kindred spirits. Your father, I know everything about him. I can see them. Harry tap in, tap in!" Ten minutes later they were both extremely happy.
"What did you see?" asked Remus.
"Professor Lupin, our parents got together the same day?" asked Harry and Krysta in unison. Just then they broke into another vision. When they snapped out of it Remus looked questioningly at them. "Sirius told them to change secret keepers at the last minute. They were going to change to you, but Peter convinced them not to. Professor Lupin, what else?"
"Krysta, you were wrong. It wasn't supposed to be the four of you, its supposed to be the five of you." Krysta looked at Harry then realization dawned on their faces.
"Ginny" they both muttered. Lupin smiled.
"Yes, Professor Granger and I want you five to work with she and Tonks someday a week after classes. They are both specialists in coveted powers." Krysta furrowed her eyebrows.
"Professor Lupin, did my dad remind you of Harry in any way? Because of the whole, 'came out of broken home, with bastards who didn't take care of me. I should've overpowered by evil a long time ago' thing." said Krysta with a smile. Harry just smiled with her. To all of them, they were the splitting images of their fathers.
"Just like your fathers, true Gryffindors." said the portrait of Dumbledore. "Krystathaili Andromeda Black and Harry James Potter, I agree. I think you should become anamigi, so you can help your professor in his time of need." finished Dumbledore.
Harry and Krysta laughed as McGonagall gave them stern looks.
"Extra lessons with me, I will teach you. But, you will not be illegal." she said in a huff.
"We'll talk more tomorrow, but I presume you'll all be staying I the Head dorms with Ron and Hermione." said Lupin. Harry and Krysta nodded then started walking out of the office, but they were stopped by Lupins sad voice. "I have to say, your fathers would be so proud of you guys today. I honestly believe you are the splitting image of your fathers, inside and out. But its weird that both of you have your mothers eyes. Go to sleep." finished Lupin giving Harry a manly hug and Krysta a protective brotherly hug. Remus walked away, but Harry and Krysta stopped him
"Professor Moony, Harry's known you for four years and I've known you for about forty minutes, but I can vouch for both of us, when I say you are a father figure. And, I think you should know something. It was the three of you that were best friends- No. Brothers. Not the two of them, but the three of you. Don't forget that. We'll see you all in training." said Krysta. Remus just gaped at them and smiled.
And it was true. They were their fathers, inside and out.
