Prologue (Part 2)
"Oh… that's awful…" Hermione grew quiet knowing how that feels losing someone you love "I know I never met Mary but, I bet she was… sweet… right…?" she drifted off causing Anthony and Jasper to nod at this " And I remember Mrs. Miller… she was a very nice lady who helped me battle against the death eaters before it got really into chaos but, we got separated … I didn't know she got killed… I just know that she escaped last time I saw her… and hearing that she got killed… that's awful…last time I checked… she was holding down the fort against Dolohov and the death eaters…thanks to that bastard it would explain a lot considering what happen in 4th year ... we been in the war since our first day in Hogwarts ... I didn't think it would be this soon ...damn it ... I'm-I'm so sorry for your lost guys I knew how much they meant to you guys," she explained.
"Yeah … me too…" Jasper steadied his breath "I bet Minnie would've loved to meet you Mya she's been wanting to meet you for quite some time she can tell I missed hanging out with you after what we been through as a kids… and I'm pretty sure Minnie and Mary both fought against those bastards…as best as they could until that damn bastard…Dolohov and Bellatrix were the ones that killed them I know that for sure… she'd follow the dark lord anywhere…" he steadied his breath "Are you sure the kids are okay I saw you put a protection charm around them inside the club house before you met up with us?" he explained.
"Yeah we're okay I told Barry to watch over everyone and hide under the cloaks since he knows the drill since we taught him everything we knew for emergencies until we get back and don't worry they're extra safe thanks to Lexy I made sure of it we should grab soon since they're pretty frighten after what happen … but, how are you guys though physically and emotionally I mean …?" Hermione explained. (a/n: Anthony 'Andy' (OC), Jasper 'Jazz' (OC), Alejandra 'Lexy, Alex, Alexa, or Alexis' (OC) with the quints Bartholomew 'Barry' (OC), Hayley 'Tigger' (OC), Rosalie 'Rosie' (OC), Jayden 'Jay' (OC) and Seth (OC) being the youngest of the bunch—they're all four years old like the twins Zander and Zoelle 'Zoey' Granger who are Reggie (OC), Elias 'Eli' (OC), Roman 'Ryo' (OC) and Christopher 'Chris' (OC), Aries 'Ariel' (OC) and Aquarius 'Aqua' Granger—who are adopted being Sirius and Hermione Black 'nee Evans—which means that Harry and Hermione are cousins through their mothers, Hermione was named after her mother by calling her Mia for short since Sirius called Hermione 'Mya' when they were dating—there's going to be a lot of family secrets in this chapter)
"I'm fine..." Anthony lied to me where I gave him a stern 'Don't you dare lie to me Anthony Jacob Santiago since I know you better than anyone,' look where he made a long-defeated sigh.
"What do you want me to say Mimi… and don't give me that look … you know what I meant I just… " Anthony drifted off with a distant look on his face "I'm just trying to be strong for the kids' sake… since neither of us expected this kind of battle at the park or knew that the death eaters would ever come roaming around in muggle, London no less...and I know we got a lot to talk about between us and continue this conversation Mya but, we need to grab everyone and get the hell out of here… it's not safe for the kids to see this much horror it'd give them nightmares for weeks…" causing Hermione and Jasper quiet "Do you know where we can find a safe house in this part of town since our house is out of the question and I really don't want to think about that right now," he explained.
"You're right… "Hermione nodded at this steadying her breath "I just can't believe this is happening…in our neighborhood since this is one of the safest places in all muggle London but, as far as I know my house is completely safe, so we can think of a plan together until we arrive there," she explained.
"Sounds brilliant as always let's get out the hell out of here ladies first," Jasper offered causing me to roll my eyes knowing Jasper. We raced back to the tree house since it's deserted for now but, we didn't want to take any chances.
"Bronx…. It's us it's safe for you guys to come out now…" Hermione whispered as they slowly peeked through the cloaks by racing over to us by hugging us closely "Shhh it's alright everything's going to be okay? Lexy grab our things we're getting the hell out of here," she explained.
"Where are we going?" Alex whispered grabbing everything inside our bags.
"We're going to Mya's house as our safe haven for now," Jasper explained.
"That sounds perfect for us to stay for the night or two…" Alex whispered causing us to nod at this.
"You guys aren't hurt, are you?" Anthony asked his siblings.
"No, we're completely fine the death eaters hasn't checked the perimeter I checked more than twice no one can get pass my powerful barriers wards," Alex shrugged at this "Trust me no one can't get pass my charm spells," she explained.
"Good… we're going to need it again if we're going to head to Mimi's house," Anthony pointed out causing Jasper and Alex to nod at this in agreement as they got everything settled in their bags.
"Thank you Barry you guys been so brave protecting everyone like that," Hermione told Barry leaving him to beam at his godmother/auntie.
"Come on we better get out of here before the death eaters find out we're still alive," Anthony told us causing me to widen my eyes in horror realizing something which Anthony noticed "Mimi what is it?" they rushed over to my side.
"Oh my god Andy ... we need to get my house quickly," Hermione hissed by grabbing the twins Zander and Zoey onto their baby pouches while Anthony grabbed Barry, Jasper grabbed Jay and Seth while Lexy grabbed Rosie and Hayley into their baby pouches too.
"Why what's wrong Mimi?" Anthony asked noticing my alerted voice.
"My parents I just realized that could be trouble," Hermione groaned and swore under her breath in French causing them to widen their eyes in horror grabbing our stuff and our invisibility cloaks "Why didn't I realized this before," she whined at this.
"Mya it's not your fault that we were busy battling the death eaters," Jasper pointed out.
"I know but, I should've went home right away by protecting them" Hermione argued back "They practically defenseless without me,"
"Well what are we waiting for let's go," Alex ushered us exiting the club house as we're heading to my house.
"Wait how are we going to get over there when there's death eaters still out there," I protested at this.
Anthony smirked "You don't honestly didn't think of a backup plan babe which is why I'm step ahead of everything… and brought a spare port key to your house for emergencies," he explained.
"Andy you're brilliant I could just kiss you," I cried out hugging Anthony which he chuckled at this.
"Well I wouldn't mind that," Anthony smirked "Especially you pretty girl," he wiggled his eyebrows causing me to roll my eyes at him.
"Oh, hush you," Hermione scolded him playfully causing him to laugh.
"Looks like you two are working things out again," Alex smirked "Does that mean that I hear wedding bells between you two?" she giggled causing Jasper chuckled.
I poked my tongue "No time to talk Lexy we have to save my parents," Hermione ignored Lexy's comment causing her to pout.
"One of these days we're going to have that girl talk missy," Alex called after me which I waved it off.
"Brilliant let's go," Hermione once again ignored Lexy's comment carrying the twins Zander and Zoey in their baby pouches as we made it back a block away from her house which isn't very far "Whew! That that was close," she whispered as she was starting to get use to the port keys thanks to Cedric my fiancée, my 2nd first love after Anthony since no one knew about our relationship since we kept it as a secret for nearly a year except Harry except the difference was that he didn't know about us being engaged— we were going to announce it after the tournament before he got murdered by Voldemort that was until Jay yelled in horror which cut of her thoughts.
"Aunty MIA WATCH OUT!?" Jay screamed causing us to dunk down as Hermione cursed under her breath by putting another protection charm around the kids while I put the twins down and told them to hide.
"You remember the drill Barry," Hermione murmured causing Barry to nod at this as they crawled under the bushes "Hide under these bushes over there and stay close together by hiding under this cloak at all times … since we're not done fighting the bad guys… yet…" she whispered.
"Stupefy!" Alex and I exclaimed stunning the death eaters while Anthony and Jasper did a different spell then us until Anthony got hurt hissing in pain that I mumbled a spell to heal him quickly.
"Thanks… "Anthony gave a small smile which I returned "It looks like we're not done with the death eaters babe but, are you okay?" he asked noticing my cut.
"Don't mention it and I'm fine… I had a feeling it's under Voldemort's orders to kill every muggle in sight… it's awful isn't it… killing every muggle even though they're completely innocent just because we have dirty blood… this is all my fault…" Hermione whispered bowing her head blinking her tears away.
"Hey look at me," Anthony cupped her face softly "You're nothing like them just because they're purebloods that doesn't mean we're different we're all human beings it doesn't change anything on who we are and you're not called the smartest, intelligent, beautiful and sexy witch in all Hogwarts for nothing… and I'm not just saying that because I'm your ex-boyfriend Mya I meant every word and my feelings for you will never change don't ever let anyone or those death eaters tell you otherwise alright," he explained giving me a small smile.
"Do you really mean that…" Hermione whispered.
"Every word…" Anthony whispered with a soft look.
"Thanks Andy…I'm glad we can be friends again I really missed you "Hermione whispered.
"Me too and anytime babe," Anthony gave me a playfully wink causing me to blush and gave me a hug "Come on let's fight some death eaters are you sure you didn't get hurt?" he asked.
"No, not much how about you?" I asked.
"After you healed my cut I'll be fine," Anthony murmured.
"Sorry to ruin your moment guys but, I decided to help fight with you guys since there's more of them that we thought," Alex spoke up causing Anthony and Hermione to blush.
"That's fine," Hermione coughed causing Alex to smirk "The more the merrier," and quickly added "Stupefy!" throwing stun spells against the death eaters as we had slight scratches after I mumbled a healing spell on all of us.
"Are you guys okay?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine no biggie," Hermione quickly added.
"It's just a scratch but, I'll be fine," Alex spoke up.
"Do you think we got them?" Anthony asked.
"I can't really tell from this angle but, we need to get our brothers and sisters by getting out of here like now," Alex explained where we nodded at this where we heard a noise behind some bushes, the whimpering was getting louder.
"Mya...guys did-did you hear that?" Jasper asked where we all looked at each other in alert as the whimpers were getting loud.
"Where is that sound coming from?" Alex whispered.
"I-I don't know..." Jasper spoke up scanning around.
"Wait… "Hermione paused for a moment trying to get a closer look "It sounds like kids are crying…" she whispered.
"You don't think…" Anthony drifted off as our faces drained where Lexy and I shook our heads 'no' since we're in the far left from where Barry and the kids are under the protection barrier spell thanks to Lexy and Hermione "That would be Barry and the kids do you?" he whispered.
"No way…that's impossible since our brothers and sisters are in the far-left direction …from that oak tree surrounded by bushes remember ... it sounds familiar... I just can't make it out ..." Hermione whispered.
"M-maybe there's people that survived from the attack," Alex whispered.
"Well... there's only way to find out ...guys..." Jasper says with a nervous gulp.
"I was afraid you were going to say that..." Hermione began to say where we tiptoed and peeked thru the bushes where they heard more whimpers getting louder behind the bushes; that's when we found some kids behind them that left me to soften a bit; I recognized them as our godchildren who just happens to be family to us thru our parents "Guys it's okay it's a false alarm I know them," she whispered.
"You do who are they?" Anthony asked.
"Ty... Jazz it's our god children their alive." Alex whispered rushing after Hermione with Anthony and Jasper not far behind.
"Oh no we completely forgot they were there too maybe uncle Ben and aunt Skye are okay too we can bring them with us," Jasper asked in whisper tones happy they're alive.
"I—I don't want to get our hopes up but, I can't tell from this angle…I'm … I'm going to get a closer look just to double check they're probably thinking we're the bad guys… hold on I'll go grab them" Hermione whispered.
"Wait Mimi I'll go with you," Anthony offered causing me to smile with a nod.
"Jake… Logan… is that you…" Hermione whispered as they perked up.
Hermione's P.O.V.
"Auntie Mia," "Uncle Andy," Jake and Logan exclaimed hugging the both of us where we returned the hug "Auntie Lexy, uncle Jazzy we were so scured," they cried out.
"Shhh it's okay guys we're here…" Jasper hugging his godsons closely "No need to cry are you guys alright" he asked.
Alex noticed the boys have slight scratches "Just small scratches… but, they're okay thank god but, where's uncle Ben and aunty Skye you don't think—" she paused for a moment while I looked away not wanting to believe it causing Anthony to close his eyes "Jake… Logan … where's your parents?" she whispered.
Jake and Logan whimpered at this clinging onto me "They're gone… "they both whispered.
"What… who's gone sweetie?" I whispered.
"Our parents they're both gone auntie Mia?" Jake whispered.
"Oh no... what about Caitlin, Lily and Kacey are they alright?" Alex whispered widen her eyes in horrified.
"We're okay auntie Lexy… our mommy and daddy protected us from that bad lady," another voice replied where we turned to see who it was, Kacey, Caitlin and Lily who had slightly scratches but, nothing to bad thank goodness.
"Caty, bumblebee, Lily flower" Alex and I exclaimed hugging the girls closer to us where I noticed two extra bodies.
"Bumblebee…are they—" I felt my throat dry leaving the kids to sniff nodding sadly as I felt my legs gave out causing Anthony to catch me "No… no, no, no, no, no," I whispered shaking my head blinking my tears not wanting to believe this.
"What happened guys?" Jasper whispered while Anthony held me close.
"They fought that bad lady… while momma protected us… then they told us to hide in here…we watched them die…" Jake cried out his tears against me.
"Oh Jake… I'm so sorry," Alex whispered holding our godson as he cried on my shoulder rocking him back and forth.
Anthony held his breath grabbing his wand out "Mya… you, Jazz and Lexy stay here with the kids I'm going to check out the sites if there's any other survivors I'll be right back," he kissed my forehead "Stay here," he whispered.
"Andy no…" I protested weakly.
"Wait… Andy…" Alex spoke up between us "There's no way either of us are letting you go by yourself I'm going with you… Jazz… you stay here with Mya and the kids okay…" she explained leaving us to nod.
"Are you sure… you should be out there…what if there's death eaters still roaming over there," Jasper protested.
"Then we'll fight back, and you have to stay here … someone has to watch over the kids and I'm not risking losing anyone else… Jazz…" Anthony argued back.
Jasper bowed his head "Okay… but, you better come back alive and be careful," he whispered.
"We will be extra careful," Alex whispered hugging us as we watched them check if there's any survivors.
"She's right Jazz it would be better if we split up anyway … we'll be back in half an hour to see if there's any other survivors besides us okay," Anthony paused for a moment turning to me as I was teared up "Mimi…I…" he was cut off by a kiss causing him to widen his eyes in shock and lets go quickly blushing.
"Be careful both of you…" I whispered blushing by my sudden move causing Anthony to kiss me quickly.
"I will, and you be careful too both of you," Anthony whispered causing me to nod at this.
"Okay and be careful guys," Jasper nodded at this "We'll be here and keep an eye out on Barry with the kids," he whispered.
"You too," Alex replied as they held hands and went to check for any survivors which I just hope it's not just us with the kids... I'm just glad our god children are alright ... it's good news for Matt, Beck and Tai who are best friends with my brothers and my sisters growing up along with the rest of us.
[30 minutes later] ...
"Hey, look they're back," Jasper whispered leaving me to nod at this.
"Did you find anyone who survived or—" I looked up at them as they shook their heads 'no' sadly causing my face to fall while leaning against the wall next to us "What happen?" I asked.
"Well … from what we both witnesses Mimi … everyone is dead… including the kids and their families… and the aurors that was supposed to watch over us… are the only ones who survived who survived but, got killed by the death eaters with one shot—we killed them with one of the deadly curses," Anthony explained with a distant look on his face.
"The only ones who survived are only us… our brothers and sisters… including our godchildren… and your parents… I'm just glad they're okay," Alex drifted off with a sad smile while I closed my eyes leaning my head against Jasper's shoulder then looked at Jake who had a puppy sad dog look "Jake… what happen to your parents…if you don't mind telling us what happen that is…" she whispered.
Jake and Logan sniffed as they sat on my laps while Lily, Caitlin and Kacey sat on Jasper's, Lexy's and Anthony's laps where he started their strong on what happen.
"W-w-we were at the park and we noticed that momma and daddy looked up noticing that the clouds were dark… so our parents grab us and hide us here…" Jake sniffed rubbing his eyes from his tears "And told us to look f-f-f-f-for you but, we didn't know where you were … but, that was before that b-b-bad lady killed them … they told us to stay here and hide grabbing our momma and daddy… they told us to be brave and then they died… fighting that bad lady—she—she had a scurry laugh and told us to hide here behind these bushes that's when you found us…" he whispered sniffing from crying.
"I'm so sorry guys if only we known earlier we would've been able to save your parents, " I whispered hugging the boys.
"How could this day get any worst... we lost our parents... the love of our lives, our friends, they lost their parents who are now orphans along with Matt, Beck and Tai who has no knowledge of this they're practically adults now what are we gonna do," Alex whispered hugging the girls.
"I don't know Lexy... it's like we're living a nightmare that you can't even wake up," I whispered.
"It's not your fault auntie Mia, auntie Lexy... is that bad lady's fault," Kacey hiccupped from crying.
"I know darling and believe me we won't let anything happen to you guys I promise," I whispered hugging my god daughter.
"Pls don't leave us we luv you," Lily whispered hugging me.
"We can never leave you Lily flower and we love you too so much we won't ever leave you guys out of our sight ever again I promise," Alex whispered hugging the both of us.
"That goes double for us," Jasper replied.
"We love you too uncle Jazz and uncle Andy can we go with you," Caitlin whispered.
"Of course, you can you really think we leave you guys that's not gonna happen kiddo," Anthony murmured hugging his god son (a/n: Alex and Hermione are the god mothers to the girls-Kacey, Caitlin and Lily while Anthony and Jasper are the god fathers to the boys-Jake and Logan in case you got confuse)
"What about our mommy and daddy ... we can't leave them here." Kacey asked whimpering against their parents; their clothes were covered by their blood which made me gave another mental note to buy them new clothes leaving us to gasp in shock where the guys held us closer in comfort.
"Oh my god...aunt Skye... uncle Ben...how could they just kill them it's not fair...they don't even care who they kill do they? " Alex whispered as we saw that our aunt and uncle were slashed covered with blood that I had to look away from the scene while Jasper held his sister closing his eyes.
"Uncle Andy what's gonna happen to us now?" Lily whispered.
"Your coming with us Lily and you let me take care of your parents okay," Anthony gently drifted off leaving her to nod as she clung onto his neck as he put a barrier spell around their parents "There... they're all protected and wrapped up for now ... we're gonna come back for them as soon as we find help alright love," he whispered leaving her to sniff.
"Bye mommy... bye daddy..." Kacey whispered leaving me to soften as she gave a kiss on their foreheads covering them with a blanket, then shrunk their bodies into my purse for safe keeping inside a box.
"Shhh it's okay bubblebee your auntie Mia, auntie Lexy, your uncle Jasper and uncle Andy are here for you guys we're gonna take good care of you guys and once this is over we'll proper burial them we promise..." I whispered holding them close.
"Thank you auntie Mia... where are we going?" Caitlin asked where I made a small smile as she clung onto her blue teddy close to her.
"We're going to my house sweetie," I told her gently
Caitlin sniffed as she clung to my neck "Okay auntie Mia," she says.
I steadied myself "Let's go I'll go carry Caitlin and Lily, Andy you carry Jake, Lexy you carry Kacey, and Jasper you'll carry Logan then we'll figure out from there," I told everyone.
"Sounds good," Jasper nodded at this carrying Logan to his arms.
"We better hurry before they find us again and not just these kids Mia we have to grab Barry and the kids too," Anthony pointed out causing me to nod at this "We got to grab everyone why don't you put their stuff inside your purse and from the looks for things it seems they're gaining more followers from a distance from here before they find us we're still alive Mya," he explained.
"I know," I began to say as I grabbed everyone's stuff inside my purse and carried Logan into his baby pouch along with Caitlin as we grabbed our invisibility cloaks where I made a mental note to remind Anthony, Jasper and Alex that we should grab everyone including their parents considering they're under a protection charm behind the hide out before we leave this place and give them a proper funeral "Is everyone ready to go?" I asked leaving them to nod at this.
"Meet you guys over there," Anthony replied carrying Jake onto his back heading to the oak tree first to grab our brothers and sisters as we followed not far behind. I couldn't believe it there's twelve kids altogether what would Harry and Ron or the others think about this but, shook that thought out since I don't have time to think about this since they're my family no matter what.
"Auntie Mia, auntie Lexy watch out!" Logan exclaimed pointing at the death eaters which unfortunately they heard them as we were close to the invisibility barrier where I used my quick reflexes holding Caitlin hiding behind my cloak.
"Stupefy!" I quickly stunned them while Anthony, Jasper and Alex did the same hiding the kids together under the cloaks passing Caitlin to Alex who hide under the cloaks while I continued to fight them after we were done we released the protection charm off as the kids immediately ran up to me, Anthony, Jasper and Alex.
"That was too close, Caty, Lily you guys didn't get hurt, did you?" I asked worried where Caitlin and Lily shook her head 'no' where I gave a sigh of relief.
"Come on Mya we don't have time to chit chat let's get out of here and save your parents huh?" Alex offered causing us to nod at this.
"Okay…. let's see…I'll carry the twins Zander and Zoey, then Jay and Seth," I drifted off causing the first four to be carried by me in their baby pouches which was hard at first but, I managed to steady them "Andy you'll carry Barry, Hayley, Jake and Kacey being the eldest of the quints," he nodded at this as the next four being carried by Andy "Lexy you'll carry Lily and Logan while Jazz you'll carry Rose and Caitlin being the youngest of the quints we'll apparate together to my house so everyone grab close, don't let go and hold tight luvs so we won't get lost along the way okay," I explained leaving us to apparent to my house seconds later.
"Auntie Mia how did you do that?" Jake asked me in awe and curiously.
"Magic?" I winked at him leaving him to giggle.
Ale smiled softly "Don't worry Jake once you're old enough we'll teach you some magic tricks
since we're the good guys just like you mom and dad okay," she told him gently leaving him to nod at this.
"Cool your so strong Mia just like our big brothers and sisters right" Zander replied.
I nodded at this "Yes, I suppose we are like that… we're still learning along the way though…once you turn 11 years old you'll be going to Hogwarts just like we did," I winked at my little brother as he nuzzled against my neck.
"Thank you for saving us auntie Mia I was really scared," Jay whispered.
"Your very welcome Jay we're not gonna let anything happen to you guys okay," I told him gently leaving him to nod; once we ran to my house we were already in front of my front door and opened the door with my house key carrying the twins Zander and Zoey (the twins), Jay and Seth with their siblings Barry, Hayley, Jake and Kacey being held by Anthony being the eldest of the quints then Lexy carrying Lily, and Logan then Jasper carrying Rose and Caitlin who are all five years old—Zander and the kids are the same age being 5 years old hidden under the invisibility cloaks and kept close at all times.
"Quickly get inside guys," I began to say closing the door behind us and paused for a moment "Mum, Daddy we're home," I explained nothing but, silence; it was a bit odd since my parents always greet me whenever I come home unless they're at work but, today it's their day off.
[no answer] ...
I felt that uneasy feeling grabbing my wand "Stay close to us guys…" I drifted off to everyone as I tried to calm down Zander, Zoey (the twins), Jay and Seth who were quite frighten as I tried to calm them down while I continued to talk "It's okay baby we're going to be just fine," I paused for a moment "Mum, Daddy? We're home…" I called out for my parents which was odd very odd.
[no answer] …
"Daddy… mama… where are you guys…" I whispered as I widen my eyes in horror and quickly hide behind the wall where Anthony, Jasper and Alex followed suit with the kids as I cursed under my breath knowing this wasn't going to be the end with the death eaters.
"Mya what's wrong?" Alex whispered in low tones.
I held my breath passing the twins Zander and Zoey, along with Jay and Seth to Anthony, Jasper and Alex "Grab the kids and head to the hide out behind the wall quickly," I hissed trying to block the scene away from the kids where Anthony must've saw what was happening by apparating them quickly inside the hide out before Jasper and Alex can protest putting the silent charm around the hide out and apparent after them.
"Mya what's going on?" Jasper whispered.
"Call Professor McGonagall and get help quickly there's death eaters here," I explained leaving Jasper and Alex widen their eyes in horror.
"You have got to be bloody kidding me" Jasper hissed at this.
"How long were they there for and to think we killed them all," Alex answered and swore under her breath in low tones peeking thru the secret door watching the scene in the kitchen.
"I don't know ... I would say an hour or two ... or maybe more ...from what I can tell there's more in the kitchen... they're trying to get information from my parents ... and hurry guys I'll try to stall them as much as I can," I explained.
"Are you bloody crazy there's no way in hell your going out there alone Mya," Alex hissed.
"I don't have a choice Lexy just send a message or call her thru the two-sided mirror since it's a bloody emergency there's no way in hell I'm letting those bloody death eaters kill my parents," I argued back where they were about to protest "Once you're done talking to your grandma grab my stuff thru the side of the wall upstairs it leads to my bedroom I already packed everything into the trunk ahead of time in case this were to happen... and hurry guys," I explained pushing Anthony, Alex and Jasper upstairs before they can protest.
"Mya wait," Anthony and the triplets protested but, I was already gone hiding myself behind the kitchen counter not far from my parents were.
"Psst..." I whispered in low tones where my mom slowly looked up blinking her eyes where I made another "Psst mum it's me I'm going to get you and daddy out of here" I replied after I revealed myself under my cloak as I revealed.
"Hermione... is that you love," My mum whispered despite how she's injured but, not too much not like my dad that I had to back my sob by trying to get them free.
"Yeah it's me… don't move to much or else it will give us out…" I muttered under my breath to free my mum that I helped her up "What happen and how did they get here?" I asked.
"Don't mind them Mia…" My mum cut me off "Where are the twins and the little ones I saw Andy, Jasper and Lexy with the children are they alright?"
"We're all fine mum, they're in the hidden room they're extra protected I promise," I whispered while I muttered a spell to get rid of the rope which was hard to take out where I quickly added "Damn ... this rope is hard to take out," I told her.
"Just do the best you can darling ... I need you to get the twins and the little ones upstairs along with Anthony, Jasper and Lexy ... where your gonna grab our stuff before—" my mum stopped mid-sentence noticing her eyes widen in horror "WATCH OUT?!" she exclaimed as we both ducked protecting my parents as I heard Zander and Zoey crying out for me as I cursed under my breath.
"Mum you and dad head to the hidden room while I battle them hurry," I cried out pushing them into the hidden room before they can protest as I put another protection spell by putting a silent charm around it and kept battling the death eaters using my wand "Bombarda!" I exclaimed stunning the death eaters as my parents sneaked inside the hidden room where the kids greeted them but, shushes them so they won't make any noise. In the corner of my eye I saw Anthony and Jasper along with Lexy talking to someone thru the enchantment mirror which I had a feeling it was Professor McGonagall to get help and mumbled something while I hide behind the couch until I felt a pain on my side "Damn it," I hissed in pain.
"Mimi, where are you?" Anthony whispered as I gave him a signal as they both saw me and apparent while Lexy stayed behind with the kids and my parents as they gave me a healing spell
"Thanks," I whispered as I held my breath.
"You know if you weren't so bloody stubborn or our best friend we would've killed you ourselves if that was the case but, we're not letting you battle them by yourself, so you can die Mia not on our watch we're in this together remember," Jasper replied.
"I know," I replied.
"Nana should be here soon with some help," Anthony told me as I steadied my breath hissing in pain.
"That's… that's great… "I made another hiss where Anthony frowned mumbling another spell against my wound "That's … that's great Andy… I'm glad you called for help and send a message to them … I don't think I can hold them off any longer with that many death eaters… Andy…" I whispered.
"I know we figured it that out Mya just try to hold a bit longer it won't be long till nana and the others come helps us," Jasper explained as they both helped me up.
"What about you Mimi since you got hurt more than us?" Anthony asked.
"Don't worry about me it's nothing I haven't felt before... on three 1...2...3..." I start to say where we quickly got up using our reflexes "Stupefy," pointing at the death eaters that was before aunt Jean, uncle Eric and Lexy got out to help where I widen my eyes in horror "Mum dad what are you doing?" she whispered.
"You really think you're the only one who can fight Mia," My mum answered with wands in their hands causing me confused before I can answer or protest that's when dad jumped in front of us.
"Liliya, Mia watch out!?" Dad exclaimed jumping in front of us causing us to scream.
"ERIC! "DADDY!" "NO UNCLE ERIC!" We all screamed in horror as he took the hit in front of my mom and I while I growled in frustration and stunned him with another.
"BOMBARDA!" I growled by stunning the death eaters causing him unconscious while I felt my tears coming down my cheeks; as I made another growl making a fist "You're going to pay for that!" I snarled with venom thru my voice as Alex and Jasper held me back thru my voice.
"Awe is the little mud blood angry that I killed her mud blood daddyinkins," Bellatrix taunted me while Tyson held my mom not to make another move as she continued to talk "Why would happen to the children after I kill them every single one of you when your mommy and daddy died the same way as your love boy and the mud blood parents from the park," she exclaimed crackling evilly as she tried to kill my mom but, I blocked her feeling tons of rage thru my body; there's no way in hell I'm losing both my parents, the twins, Anthony, Jasper, Alex and our siblings including our god children not when I'm around.
"Andy... Lexy... Jazz... I want you guys to bring my mom out of here and don't forget my dad..." I began to say in low tones where they looked at me in confuse "Go to the hidden room and protect the kids now," I hissed in low tones but, before my mom can protest, Andy nodded at this and grabbed my mum who took my dad's body, Jasper and Lexy by apparating them into the hidden room since she was a bit hurt; that's when I took a deep breath to calm down then yelled at her "YOU WILL NOT KILL MY FAMILY YOU B****! Not when I'm around... " I exclaimed as I did a quick spell that stunned Bellatrix before she can stun me back towards her heart with Anthony, Jasper's and Lexy's help who came back as she was frozen on the spot while we all sneered towards her as she tried to move; she was paralyzed now.
"Nice one Mimi you think we should teach her a lesson for messing with us since they were the ones who killed everyone including murdering our parents," Anthony began to say where as I continued to glare at Bellatrix with my icy dark expression where he chuckled at this knowing my icy dark expression.
"I'll take that a yes," Jasper quickly added where he did a fire spell as her hair, she would've screamed in pain with no sound but, she was numb and froze in her spot thanks to his spell while her husband Rodolphus Lestrange was about to stun us but, I was quick and stunned him back by using one of the deathly curses.
"CRUCIO!" I yelled as Roldolphus screamed in pain as I continued "CRUCIO" at least 8x "That was for killing my dad and hurting my mum?!" as I instantly killed her husband straight to the heart and splat he's dead who stunned and hurt my mom bleeding around the chest area "Oh that's for Cedric my fiancée where we were supposed to spend our lives together… CRUCIO and that was for Neville and his family for making him suffer all those years ago including Andy, Jasper and Lexy's family along with my godchildren parents and family along with my the rest of my neighborhood when they didn't do anything wrong of the sort where you left them as orphans and I won't let you hurt anyone that I EVER CARE ABOUT YOU B****!" I exclaimed then splat she was dead on the spot along with her husband who's dead that was until we heard the kids scream "No MUM!" I exclaimed as I watched in horror where another death eater bit my mom where I darkly growled "No more AVADA KEDAVARA!" with another dark icy tone thru my voice and killed them in the spot.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Zander and Zoey cried as I felt awful with grief when I couldn't save my dad and wasn't fast enough but, I saw my mom steadying her breath as much as she could.
"Cookie… my babies…" my mom drifted off holding her breath leaving me and my friends to rush over her, grabbing the nearest rag to stop the bleeding "You're all okay…" she whispered.
"Mum just hold on okay. I'm going to call an ambulance to come get you," I told her as I grabbed my dad's shirt that has been lying around from everything being thrown around to stop the bleeding when my attention from her chest to her left arm; it would see that Greyback had bitten her; I swore under my breath "That son of a bitch," I hissed under my breath.
"Stop cookie…" My mum's voice was becoming a bit week as she gave me a small squeeze despite my tears coming down my cheeks "It's not your fault cookie your father did what he was supposed to which was protecting our children and darling you can never lose us ever… we're so proud of you baby girl. You even saved your god children and for that I'm sure their parents are so grateful for that I know I would… and we love you so much baby girl…" her breath was steady as she slowly leaned against the wall "There's… there's something that your father and I been keeping from you after all these years… we knew it'd be a matter of time that we end up telling you the truth… we were going to tell you when you turn 16 but, since you're over the age… by using a time turner… we knew deep down we had to tell you the truth…" she explained.
"Mum I need to look for my wand, so I can heal you," I protested ignoring her.
"My angel... you need to stop please..." My mum pleaded.
"No!" I yelled "You're going to be fine mommy I'm going to get you healed and get help..." I looked around frantically for my wand as I ignored her pleads "Guys distract my mom I'm going to find my wand I refuse to lose her too," I told them where they looked at each other worried but, nodded neither less.
"Mya… I…" Alex whispered with a sad look towards my mum "Please try to hold on auntie Jean,"
"She's too stubborn like her father to listen but, I'll try as best as I can Lexy," My mum whispered leaving Lexy to nod at this knowing how stubborn I can be where she continued to talk "Cookie... sweetie you need to stop and listen to me, so you can know the real truth," she whispered.
"But, I-I— I began to say where she grabbed my hand to stop moving around where she continued to talk "I need to find my wand," I whispered.
"Please sweetheart it's important," My mum whispered despite how she's really pale from the bite on her arm, it looked like a werewolf bite but, I didn't think that far ahead "Cookie... my angel ... you're adopted..." she drifted off causing us to blankly stared at her as I was about to protest but, she held my hand to stop me "No you need to listen to me cookie it's really important.. it's a very long complicated story ... I'm so sorry that your father and I never got a chance to tell you the truth we were planning on telling you tonight before you turn 16 but, since you're already over the age …. despite everything that happened … I needed to tell you to know everything before…" she held her breath steading herself "Before… I go…" she whispered.
"What are you talking about mum ... you and daddy are my parents," I whispered looking around frantically.
"I know darling ...but, we wanted to tell you the truth earlier tonight we were going to have dinner Mia you just turned 3 at the time... there should be a letter inside for you and your brothers from your biologically mother Hermione…yes you were named after your mum… but, we call her Mya so it won't be so confusing between you two… that's her name love… she left me as your godmother while your father is your godfather of your brothers… in case something were to happen to your parents and our friends… we've been planning on getting away from England for a long time but, then the first war happened… and things were getting out of control… your parents knew it wasn't safe for us to raise you kids… so … your parents asked us to raise and watch you guys until the truth comes out ...but, then things got more complicated... because your father got caught over the real culprit over something he didn't do ... and before we know it we had to rush over and grab everything, change our names, our identities as muggles… so we can blend into the crowd… as much as I love you guys as my children I wanted a baby too… but, we were told we couldn't conceive any children which broke my heart so much… and that was before I was expecting I think your mother Mya heard my wish because she knew I wanted children more than anything; it was a miracle having twins no less," she whispered.
"Mum," I whispered as she steadied her breathing as I can feel my emotions had finally let loose and felt like I was falling apart; my sobs had started to become more and more uncontrollable to the point where I could barely breath as I held my mom closely "Where the hell is that bloody wand!?" looking everywhere for my wand as she held my hand closely for me to listen to her.
"One of the … death eaters… I think Dolohov… broke it love… which is why we have extra's wands in the hidden room it should be in the fireplace … with our real names on it," My mum whispered.
"Andy… Jazz… do you think you guys can—" I drifted off where they both nodded as they both apparent and grabbed the wands as my mom steadied herself to keep still while Lexy held into me into a hug "We're going to save you momma just on a little longer," I whispered.
"I've lost so much blood my love… and you have to be brave for me darling… I want you to protect the twins Zander… Zoelle… with your life… along with Barry… and your godchildren darling… as if they're your own children… since they don't have any families left except their big brothers Matt, Beck and Tai... where you have make sure ..." where she held her breath and continued to talk "Make sure ...that nothing happens to them okay... your biologically mom Mya and your friend's Harry mom Lily and Neville's mom Alice yes….it's starting to come back to me now… your mother… was Harry's mum Lily's twin sister… they didn't have just one sister… they had three brothers… Jacob… Jay… and Seth… that's what I named your brothers middle name… because they're my best friend's growing up…" she says blinking her tears despite how she's very weak "Me… Allie… Lily… Mya… knew each other since childhood and we went to Hogwarts together… so we knew… your father… Harry's father… and your professor Lupin… and that other boy… I never particular liked him… he always creeped me out, so I wasn't a bit surprised when he betrayed us all… I knew he was the secret keeper I just knew it… because it would've been too obvious for your father to be the secret keeper to the Potter's… along with everyone else that knew us we're pure bloods princess including you darling; the reason why we lived here for so long was because of the fake memories that was cast on us ..so we can hide our names into a fake name so you can't tell anyone that secret cookie... I know you must be feeling so confuse, conflicted and frustrated from the news but, we kept our promise to your parents to keep you guys safe to the grave and we don't intend to break it so I just hope you four can do the same no matter what and protect those kids with your life," she explained leaving us to nod at this where Anthony and Jasper got back with extra wands and just before they were about to heal her until they communicated silently knowing it's too late to save her.
"I promise mum you can count on it," I whispered blinking my tears as I held her close holding her hand as she kissed me on the forehead; she's getting too weak by the minute.
"I'm glad to hear that darling… Anthony… Jasper…Alejandra…" My mum began to say turning to Anthony, Jasper and Alex who was about to heal her but, she shook her head sadly as they tried to not to cry with a silent nod as she continued to talk "Andy… I'm so glad you're back sweetie… Mya missed you so much my love… Mya would've like that if I told you that…" causing them to chuckle sadly as she grabbed something out of her coat "You have our blessing Andy… take care of my baby girl ….I want you guys to protect my daughter and the children with your lives… they all need you darlings. since you're their only family left so please take care of them Andy please... " she hoarse in pain where they nodded at this "Make sure you guys stay happy and watch over the kids ... especially Mia she's probably close herself off away from everyone. I need you to guys to be strong for her so she can keep fighting no matter what she does you need to snap her out of it knowing her father and I love her, her brothers and the twins so much that it won't change how we feel about them promise me Andy please," she whispered in whisper tones as she gave them a letter from her jacket pocket as he held it like his life depended on it where he nodded at this.
"I promise aunt Jean to love, make her happy and protect her with the twins and the children with my life you have our word," Andy whispered closing his eyes while Jasper held onto their sister
"We won't let you down aunt Jean," Jasper says in hoarse tones blinking his tears away.
"We promise auntie Jean just hold on please…" Alex cried out holding my mum's hand.
"Good ... I knew I can count on you guys because no matter what anyone says Mia... you'll always be a Granger...to us baby girl and you three will always be a McGonagall ... ... and that's never gonna change on who you are... our real name ... is Gerald James Lucas and Aaliyah Jeannie Lorelei Montgomery; everything that we own is passed on to you cookie, your brothers, your sisters and the twins; there should be a journals upstairs in the attic inside this trunk that I told you about where you're gonna learn the truth about our past love ... with tons of questions that you have and looking for is in that journal cookie... take this necklace and this bracelet Mia..." as she ripped it off from her neck and wrist shaking uncontrollably "It's the key to the trunk cookie... keep it safe with you at all time and never take it off promise me this key will open automatically to the trunk upstairs at the attic, they just need your blood and it will open keep it close to you okay" she whispered.
"I promise mama I'll take keep this close to me like my life depending on it," I whispered clutching the necklace and bracelet close to me.
"I know you would luv ... you're going to have let me go now ... your father is waiting for me..." my mom began to say as I shake my head 'no' blinking my tears holding her close to me hoping she'll hold on a little longer "Let me go Mia... it's gonna be okay... your father and I are gonna watch over you guys ... I love you Mya...my babies… Zander… Zoelle… I'm so sorry my darling but, mummy needs to go now…. Anthony, Jasper and Alejandra...your parents are gonna be so proud of you guys protecting everyone I know I am and never forget that promise love..." she whispered as she started to close her eyes; those were her last words before she died.
"I love you mommy please don't leave us alone please," I whispered grabbing her into my arms.
"Yes angel, you need to let me go now" My mum's voice I can barely hear her voice, it was so weak "I love you sweetie so much," she smiled slightly; tears started to form into her eyes "Sapphire I love you so much, that's your name love ... Hermione Sapphire Lillian Rose Granger, nee Marlstone-Wells Montgomery Black don't you ever forget that baby," she whispered as I looked at her as our eyes locked. Memories from my entire life started flashing thru our eyes; the first that she and dad helped me ride my bike with my brothers cheering for me; all those times that we had our family outings to the beach; dad would always complained because he always feel all gritty from the salt water; Reggie would pick me up telling me that we'll be traveling the world with Elias, Roman, Chris, Ariel and Aqua. I thought of all the times where I was a little and we would run into their rooms when there would be a bad storm going on. How proud they were of me when they found out I was considered the brightest witch of my age after Harry's mom Lily before me including my siblings who were damn proud of me telling me that when they come visit they'll take me to France for a celebration one of my favorite spots to go and every moment we had ever had together; all the times that they were there for me even when I scrapped my knee or had a bad day they were there for me no matter what. They were always there for me.
She smiled with her eyes closed, taking one last breath "Professor McGonagall has what you need ..I promise to always be with you," with that Jean Granger-nee Morales nee Aaliyah Jeannie Lorelei Montgomery took her last breath and was no more (a/n: Hermione's adopted parents real name is Gerald James Isaac and Aaliyah Jeannie Lorelei Montgomery in case you didn't catch that)
"Mama, no, no, no, no please come back please mum" I screamed as loud as I could, shaking her limp body "No, no, no, no, "she cried out.
Zander whimpered wrapping his small arms around my neck "Big sister… is mama gone?" he whimpered staring at me with sad eyes.
I closed my eyes sadly "Yeah… Zayne… she's really gone…" I drifted off as I held my twins Zander and Zoey who held into me crying trying to steady my breath trying hard not to cry when Lexy wrapped her arms around us mumbling soft words with Jasper while Anthony closed his eyes sadly hugging all of us together as we cried in grief.
"I'm—I'm so sorry about your mum and dad Mimi… auntie Jean is gone…" Anthony whispered.
"I-I know…" I whispered closing my mum's eyes softly "Why … why did they have to kill her… my parents didn't do anything wrong…. they're practically innocent …" I whispered as Anthony held me into a hug rocking me back and forth.
"I know babe. I know none of our friends and family deserve to die like this… I promise we're going to get that bastard … if it's the last thing I ever do…we're going to be okay Mimi I got you..." Anthony murmured holding me close as I cried over to him.
"This whole time ... my siblings and I been adopted thinking we're their kids ..." I whispered where Anthony lifted my chin giving me a stern look.
"Mia you heard what auntie Jean said they love you guys very much including your birth parents… or else your parents death for protecting us would've been for nothing…. They did it to protect you and kept your parents secret to keep all of us safe…" Lexy whispered holding me into a hug.
"She's right Mya I know we don't all the details except that … your dad's alive… your birth father I mean…" Jasper murmured causing us all quiet "And that your named after you birth mother Hermione... well they call her Mya…they loved you guys… no matter what you think… they'll always going to love you guys…aunt Jean said your father's last name is Black... it could be anyone ... " he whispered.
"I don't know where to look… it could be anyone in the Black family… maybe Sirius would know… since his last name is Black…." I whispered rethinking about my older brothers and sisters who have no knowledge of this where I continued to talk "Let's go back to the hidden room…" she whispered leaving Anthony, Jasper and Lexy to nod at this and just before we left I got held back from one of the death eaters who pushed me to the ground as I tried to struggle out of his grasp and widen my eyes in horror.
"Well… well… well… look what we have here… that annoying little mudblood that's been giving my dark lord a hard time killing you and that Potter," the death eater Dolohov snarled "You're not getting away that easily mudblood… I'm going to make sure that you're dead just like I killed your mudblood parents," he growled as he grabbed a sharp knife about to attack me.
"ANDY! JAZZY! LEXY! HELP ME!" I screamed as loud as I could where he covered my mouth as I muffled for help where Anthony, Jasper and Alex saw this widen their eyes in horror
Anthony grabbed the gun out of his backpack about to pull the trigger "LET HER GO YOU BASTARD?!" he growled hiding the kids behind them.
"Make another step and the mud blood is dead," Dolohov snarled feeling the sharp knife against my chest as I tried to hold my breath from the sharp pain.
"I'M WARNING YOU ... DOLOHOV... GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER OR I'LL SHOOT YOU STRAIGHT TO THE HEART IF I HAVE TOO!" Jasper growled who also had a gun about to pull the trigger while Lexy held the kids behind her thru the hidden room.
"If either of you pull that trigger she's gonna end up being dead with me" Dolohov snarled both threaten as soon as he said this which left me to stomped on his foot hard and grabbed the knife stabbing him thru the chest where he screamed in pain "Your going to pay for that MUD BLOOD" he snarled grabbing his knife trying to attack me where I widen my eyes in horror where he stabbed me in the chest where left me to scream in pain that we heard a loud shot that went thru his black heart; it echoed thru the neighborhood with a huge "BANG, BANG, BANG" where I heard echoes in the background.
"MYA?!" Anthony cried out in horror.
"Did we get him?" Jasper panicked at this widen his eyes ins horror.
"Who bloody cares get off him of MYA?!" Lexy panicked causing Anthony and Jasper to snap out of their thoughts and rushed over me as the death eater Dolohov fell on top of me bleeding through his chest while I heard the kids screaming. It was all too fast before I knew it everything went black.
"We're apparent to the hide out now!" Anthony exclaimed grabbing Hermione by holding her close as they apparent to the hide out to save their best friend by trying to stop her from bleeding thru her chest.
"Let's take her to the bed while I try to stop the bleeding," Alex says.
"Good idea and Lexy hurry she's losing blood fast," Jasper replied.
"On it," Alex says running to the bathroom to get the first aid kit.
"Jazzy… Andy... it hurts," Hermione whispered.
"Shhh I know baby I know just hold on okay I'm not losing you again," Anthony cried out trying to stop the bleeding "Jazz, Lexy where's those bandages?!" he exclaimed.
"Here, here sorry I had to grab a few bandages just in case," Alex runs to our sides as we helped Hermione stop the bleeding on her chest after taking the knife out which left her to scream in pain.
