Chapter One –The Beginning
Actually, if they'd looked hard enough, they would have seen them quite clearly. At Voldemort's every turn he was delayed by them, but he had no idea who they were. They were all disguised quite brilliantly, and had come up with new names. They were Hermione – Ellen Marcella Amiri, Harry – Zohar Gideon Amiri, and Ron – Keith Flash Amiri. The Triad, as a group. Their names all had the basic meaning of Light Warrior Prince. But the names come later. The first thing they did when they got out of Hogwarts was remove the tracking charms that seemed to be all over them and their wands. Then they disguised themselves thoroughly.
Hermione used muggle means, she died, cut and straightened her hair, got eye color changing contacts with no prescription that changed her eyes to a blue-gray, and got a totally new wardrobe that was nothing like what she'd had before. She also used a glamour charm to give her darker skin. Ron used multiple semi-permanent glamour charms and came out with brown hair, blue-gray eyes, dark skin and dressed in clothes that he normally would have only dreamed of wearing. Harry, used the most simple methods, however. He used his metamorphagus skills to hide himself. He spent hours working to perfect his disguise, as growing through that skill isn't easy, before giving himself dark, dark skin, brown curly hair, and blue-gray eyes, and growing about three inches. No one would have recognized any of them. They looked like they were siblings, in blood, even.
The next thing they did was to find a place to hide. The place they found, using connections at Gringotts, Harry already owned. The ministry couldn't take it because they couldn't find it, and they had access to Harry's money because the goblins wouldn't give the ministry control of his vault. Potter Castle had a huge library, multiple training rooms, a huge collection of weapons, a family tree which informed them kindly that Harry was Godric Gryffindor's heir. When he read that, Harry passed out. When he woke up, Hermione was squealing excitedly about 'what that meant for them.' The boys, of course, had no idea what she was talking about, and wouldn't find out until Hermione emerged from the library two and a half days later.
She came out, grabbed the boys and dragged them into the library. She used a sticking charm to put them in their seats and said, "Godric Gryffindor made a vow before he died, that he and his descendants would always fight against Salazar Slytherin and his descendants for as long as both lines existed. Later, Helga Hufflepuff made a prophecy.
"When the last of the lion and snake lines meet for the tenth time, it will be decided which line shall continue. The winner will take all, the loser will fall. The light against the dark, the white against the black, the good against the evil, lions against snakes. They will both be of both lines through artificial means, but one is truly Slytherin and one is truly Gryffindor. While the Gryffindors blood runs through the Slytherins veins, Slytherins talents run through the Gryffindors veins. They will both be mistreated, but only one will stay true to the light. When the lion is betrayed and then finally believed, one will truly take all. When the last of the lion and snakes line meet for the tenth time, one or the other will fall at the others hand, and the winners line shall flourish.
"When Voldemort attacked you at Godric's Hollow, he gave you the talent of parseltongue. When he kidnapped you at the third task, he took your blood. You're Gryffindors heir, he's Slytherins heir, and you've only faced each other five times. That means that since this is obviously about you, you'll face him five more times before you can kill him or he can kill you. We already know that it's your destiny to kill him, but now we know when, sort of. It all makes more sense now. We also know that eventually we'll be cleared. And soon after or soon before, you will defeat Voldemort. It's not much, but it's better than constantly being in the dark."
"How can my life just be prophesized so goddamned much!? If this prophecy has always been around, shouldn't they know that we're innocent? Or are they really that stupid?"
"Harry, I'm sorry, but I don't think there's another copy of this prophecy anywhere other than this library, and if we sent it to them they'd think we were making it up."
"What do you suggest we do with this new information?"
To their surprise, it was Ron who answered. "First we need new names. Then we need to train, and then we need to go about foiling Voldemort's plans in every possible way. As the trinity, or some other name like that."
"The triad. As for names…we should find names that mean the same thing for each of us."
A few hours of researching later found Hermione grinning widely as she announced their new names. "We are the Triad. Ron, you are Keith Flash Amiri, Harry you are Zohar Gideon Amiri, and I am Ellen Marcella Amiri. We are triplets, and we've been on our own since we were twelve years old and our parents died. We educated ourselves after that. Our names mean, roughly Light Warrior Prince."
Ron snickered. "You're a prince, oh sister of mine?"
In response, Hermione just slapped him around the head. She went back into lecture mode. "From here on out, inside of this house, outside of this house, no matter where we are or who we're with, we go by those names. Harry you can make yourself a nickname if you want. Ron, Keith just seems easy, but if you feel the need you can make a nickname too. Once we're proven innocent we can go back to our old names, but until then, we are Keith, Zohar, and Ellen. No matter what."
Harry sighed before saying, "Just call me Zo."
Ron added, "Keith's okay for me."
Hermione grinned and said, "I'm Ell. Don't call me Ellen, it's too… formalish."
Harry laughed and said, "And the name Hermione isn't?"
(a/n: From here on out, they go by their new names.)
After smacking Zo over the head Ell said, "We need to make a schedule. We're going to train all day, every day, until we're ready to take on Voldie and the Death Munchers. Then we're going to thwart their plans at every possible chance."
Grinning, Keith said, "I like the way you think, Ell! You're going to let us help with the schedule, right? 'cause I don't want to spend every second of every day training!"
Zo snapped, "Keith, we need to spend every second of every day training if we want to survive! Or would you prefer that the ministry catches us and the death eaters kill us? Would you like that? We need to be better than we are."
Keith groaned and said, "Zo, you're gonna be worse than Ell! Slave drivers!"
An hour later they had their completed schedule, and Keith was still complaining about it.
Training Schedule: 6:00 a.m.: Wake up, get
dressed, eat breakfast and get ready for the day. 6:30 a.m.:
Run, stretch and work out. 7:30 a.m.: Dueling practice 12:00
p.m.: lunch 12:30 p.m.: Animagi training and other
transfiguration 3:00 p.m.: Weapons training 5:30 p.m.:
Dinner 6:00 p.m.: Potions 7:30 p.m.: Independent study
(whatever you want to study.) 9:00 p.m.: Relax 10:00
p.m.: Lights out, go to sleep!
Ell said, "We didn't leave enough time for studying…"
and Keith so eloquently said, "You're both nuts! We don't get a minute of peace with this thing!"
Which caused both Zo and Ell to rant about how they needed to do this if they wanted to survive and to save the world, too. Zo ended his rant by saying, "But if you'd prefer a nice dementor infested cell, we can arrange that for you," in a sarcastically cheerful tone.
Keith just shook his head and said, "I'm going to bed if I'm going to have to survive this tomorrow!"
Ell replied, "And every day after that for a long, long time!"
