Hp belongs to Jkr. The storyline, new character development, new events, and new characters are my intellectual property.
In part I- Hermione went back to December 1972, wanting revenge but instead found love. She is at Hogwarts when Voldemort, at the center of all, realizes that she is his daughter, but how? New allegiances are forced, secrets revealed, and maybe there is a chance to right the timelines.
My Only Witch Part II
Puzzle Pieces-Other Eyes.
Minerva McGonagall didn't like what she saw. Before the sorting, she had seen Albus talking to the Sorting Hat. What she heard made her upset. The hat was a sentient being trapped inside. Albus had offered to free it, but first, he needed a few more years of service. This day he had asked the hat to choose the new witch for Gryffindor, a few months before, he bribed it to place Sirius Black in the same house. "Minerva, it is needed for the greater good," he said when she caught him.
Albus had destroyed her relationship with her only love, Tom Riddle. To this date, she swore that Albus fed her a love potion, why else go to bed with him when she had Tom. She had observed Albus; she knew that he wanted to spy on the young witch who was the Malfoy's heir witch. Lucius Malfoy no longer liked Narcissa Black, and Albus wasn't pleased, why? Why should he care, it made no sense.
She also knew how Albus had sabotaged Arthur Weasley's romance with the dangerous Black witch. Minerva had witnessed Bellatrix's positive change when she was with the much older upperclassman, but Albus started keeping tabs on Arthur. At the time she had advised Albus to stay away to no avail, now Bellatrix was nastier than ever.
Then Gideon Prewett fell in love with Narcissa Black, so Albus called Bellatrix to his office, and that door also closed. What was he doing and why? Tonight she had seen Gideon and Narcissa, they were arguing and then kissed, but Bellatrix had descended on them like a wraith. Minerva was sure that Albus was involved, but why?
Something about the new young witch, Miss L'Argent, reminded her of Tom, her mouth, and something elusive. She would check and keep Albus away from her; from the witch who could have been her child; a tear of regret ran down her face.
A wolf, and the Marauders-
The three of them walked together, and it is evident to Sirius that Rabastan was furious with Rodolphus.
"Lower your voice, think about Andy," Sirius told Rabastan.
"He is a bastard; we had agreed that he would wait to marry Andy until I was a few years older so I could join them when I had finished. But being with her without marriage is unforgivable, you saw it, Andy is afraid of Bella. What if he made her pregnant, the baby could die, our magic requires she bonds with both of us, and I am too young. You cannot tell this to anyone." Rabastan was crying.
"Let's hope not, being mad at Rodolphus does you no good. If any, Bellatrix will find out faster; and she is wicked and worse than ever, but she was decent a few years ago. Don't fight with Rodolphus and think about Andy, he was an idiot, but he loves her. Poor Ted Tonks, though he is in love with Andy, she should be with Rodolphus if she loves him. Let me talk to Andy. Wait, Snape." Sirius called Severus who was up way ahead.
Severus ran back, "Yes?"
"You have a job, make sure that Rabastan doesn't start a fight with Rodolphus. Create a distraction if he does. Keep an eye on the evil one, that she is not overhearing."
Sirius worried, he knew that Bella was dangerous, he had heard of his father talking to Cygnus, he told his father that Bella had tried to kill him. "We need to talk to Ermi, Bella is out to get her, you two spy on her."
By the end of the walk, with the other Marauders, they had a plan of sorts.
The ones who hid inside the shadows smiled; hopefully, this had never happened before. These friendships were new. Rodolphus and Andy never got together in the other timeline. Maybe there was a chance because the last they checked things in the future.
Friends
Rabastan was furious with Rodolphus; Sirius had guessed. Now, they were walking back together.
"Lower your voice and think about Andy," Sirius told Rabastan.
"He is a bastard; we had agreed that he would wait to marry Andy until I was a few years older, and we could bond. The idea was to join them when I had finished. But being with her without marriage is unforgivable, you saw it, Andy is afraid of Bella. What if he made her pregnant, the baby could die, our magic requires she bonds with both of us, and I am too young, maybe something could be done. You cannot tell this to anyone." Rabastan was crying.
"Let's hope not. Being mad at Rodolphus does you no good since Bellatrix will find out faster. She is wicked and worse than ever, but she was decent a few years ago. Don't fight with Rodolphus, he was an idiot, but he loves her. Poor Ted Tonks, he is in love with Andy, but she should be with Rodolphus if she loves him. Let me talk to Andy. Wait, Snape." Sirius called Severus who was up way ahead.
Severus ran back, "Yes?"
"You have a job, make sure that Rabastan doesn't start a fight with Rodolphus. Create a distraction if he does. Keep an eye on the evil one."
Sirius worried, he knew that Bella was dangerous, he had heard of his father talking to Cygnus, he told his father that Bella had tried to kill him. "We need to talk to Ermi, Bella is out to get her, you two spy on her."
By the end of the walk, the other Marauders had joined them; they had a plan of sorts.
The ones hiding inside the shadows smiled; they were hopeful. Why? Simple, this had never happened before; these friendships were new. Rodolphus and Andy never got together in the other timeline.
Maybe there was a chance because the last they checked things in the future, there were already changes, some were significant, for example, not all the Marauders had died. They well knew, the other timeline, the one where Hermione had come from, had been manipulated by the Headmaster.
Dumbledore went to his rooms and looked in a scrying Ball to locate the young witch; she was probably with the Malfoy brat. What was this, the ball was full of thick mist? And what was going on with the Lestrange brothers; something was changing and not the way he wanted. He thought somebody was in the room. Nobody, the candles were making strange shadows, he saw one of a horned man.
He looked forward just a little, and the future he sought was now blocked, he could no longer see the future with James and Lily's son. The murder of his students didn't take place. He saw Severus, James, Lily, and Sirius at a celebration, all laughing and looking well. When had that view taken place? He tried to see more, but the ball was again full of mist. He could swear that he heard laughter.
Love and Doubt
Hermione was in Lucius' arms when she suddenly froze, she knew that she was in love, but the Lucius from the later years was haunting her, "No," she said and pushed him.
Hermione was conflicted, although this is what she wanted when she moved thru time, to get pregnant, now things were changing, and she loved him. What, what to do?
She got up, moved away and dressed in a hurry. She needed time.
"No, you are with Narcissa. She tells everyone that you are engaged."
"No, she is wrong," Lucius chased her.
Lucius was desperate and tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen. When she Apparated at Hogwarts, she ran to the Gryffindor rooms and sat on a couch. She wouldn't talk to anyone, just sat there staring at the fire.
The Marauders sat around her, they understood that she didn't want to talk, but it upset them.
Sirius tapped her shoulder, "Ermi, we need your help."
She listened, now she was sure this had never happened, maybe she was going at it all wrong. About the Lestrange, she could still see Rabastan, an empty shell, and Severus bleeding to death. She could see them all, how could she allow it. Even Pettigrew was changing, they all were. What to do? She remembered Fenrir's words, and now Zecke, his nephew, something was happening.
Hogwarts 1973
Lucius was in the Slytherin Common room, Severus and Rabastan sat on each side. Bella sat across keeping an eye on them, her leg up on a table, revealing her legs, but none of them were looking.
"Bella, what is your problem? Don't you have something better to do?" Lucius asked; he disliked her more every day. Severus had already updated him.
Other Slytherin were listening, a couple taking careful notes. Yaxley came to sit next to Bella, McNair stood on a corner. Lucius was their prince, Bella was a permissive beauty, but they weren't fools. Many would work for the Malfoy and knew their places.
"He," she pointed at Rabastan, and then pointed her finger at Severus, "and he, and you, the three of you are idiots, chasing after Miss Ermi, the insipid ugly fool."
"Don't even say her name," Lucius sat straight, many were afraid of Lucius and his magic, his wand was on his hand.
Bella didn't answer, she just looked away towards Yaxley, she whispered something, and Yaxley guffawed. Both stood up and walked towards Narcissa who stood with Andy, Narcissa had her hand on Andy's arm.
Rodolphus walked behind and tapped Bella's shoulder. "Bella, leave Andy alone or else."
Bella stood to face him, "Or else what? If you want me to leave her alone, stay away from her, you are mine." She tried to embrace him, but he stepped back. The entire room was looking. Lucius held Rabastan's arm, he saw him ready to spring, and Lucius knew that Rabastan was no match for Bella.
Nothing else happened because the Headmaster had arrived for a surprise visit. Albus was going around all the Common rooms before bedtime to wish all the newcomers well; at least that was his excuse. He had been standing by the entrance for a few minutes. He couldn't figure out what was going on, why was Bella jealous? What was up with Rodolphus? Bella and Rodolphus needed to be together that much he knew. He was right something was awry, but what?
Dumbledore was finding out that the future he had so carefully arranged, was falling apart. He had to find the source and destroy it, for the greater good.
The Dark Lord-
That same evening the Dark Lord received an owl from one of his spies. He was unhappy and asked Cygnus to meet him right away. It was near midnight, most unusual.
The Dark Lord was in a strange mood, "Cygnus you must have noticed my fondness for your cousin." He looked amused at Cygnus' face. "Not that kind of fondness, not at all. Listen to me." He stood by a window looking away from Cygnus, which made him look uncomfortable; he had the feeling that he wasn't going to like the Dark Lord's demands.
