Hi, thanks to everybody that took the time to read the first chapter. I was honestly shocked anybody would be interested. I have never written anything like this before however I have read like a bazillion other fanfics. So if you do recognise something from another story then I probs have just borrowed it and tried to put my own spin on it. If you do have any comments or ideas about the story please leave a comment and I'll take what you have said on board.

Also obvs I don't own any of JK Rowling's works.

So without further ado..

Chapter Two

Hermione was still in a daze as they made their way back up to the surface and every third second as though it was a nervous tick she grasped the necklace to check it was still there. She felt the spell that Harrison had told her about under her palm but there was something else something homly mixed in, definitely a different magical signature and this one gave her a serene feeling of peace and calm rather than the icy one of the apperation spell. Actually now she thought about it, it was a similar feel to her ruby House Potter ring. Whenever she connected with the magic of that she felt at peace and a sense of belonging.

Whilst Hermione was in her daze Harrison was guiding them through to use the floo, he noticed that when the goblins saw the necklace on his sisters neck many of the older ones eyes widened quite comically. He gave a discrete shake of the head when one opened his mouth to talk, the goblin in question settled instead for a bow of his head and a muttered "My Lord, My Lady." If Hermione wasn't still out of it he was quite sure that he would pounce on the poor creature to ask why he would say that. Goblins were known for showing absolutely no more that the bare minimum respect to humans.

As they got to the floo Hermione seemed to come back to herself and reigned in her awe. It was like a switch had been turned on. Her back straightened, her chin went up and she carried herself as if she owned the world. They threw the floo powder into the roaring fire and stepped in both simultaneously shouting their destination.

When they returned home Kreacher waited for them in the floo room. He had a note for Harrison, Hermione waited impatiently for him to read it.

Tonight was her party, she very much wanted to leave.

He finished reading the note and nodded to himself, he the gestured to Hermione to once again take his arm.

They apperated once more but this time landed in a receiving room of a manor. She knew this room.

This was Harrison's birthright. The manor was more like a small castle if she was honest and it was old, very old. She didn't quite know how old but before the Tudors at least. The place was done out in tasteful blues, greens and reds. She was quite surprised knowing how Harrison hailed from a line of Gryfindors, actually they were both surprised but pleasantly.

She heard a faint noise of light conversation and a piano in the background, she knew what the noise was it was her birthday /coming out into society party. She was meant to have one at 17 but obviously she was still in school and at 18 they were hunting Voldemorts horcruxes, 19 the war had just ended and nobody was in the party spirit but this year Harrison put his foot down, she was having a party. They decided that she would also have her coming out party because generations of Potters before them had done this and they would not be the people to break this tradition. During the party there would be a blessing ceromony for later life so she would be blessed with happiness, beauty and fertility.

She did think it was a bit silly herself but traditions were important and they would follow them.

They walked up the back stairs so they could arrive at a room that would lead out to the grand stair case. The rest of the Potter elves had been hard at work making the ballroom of Potter manor perfect, they decided it would be a formal dance rather than a informal gathering. The theme was silver and purple which was why Harrison's robes were silver with the trim being the same colour as Hermione's dress.

They stood in the room as Harrison turned Hermione to face him, "everything will be fine My Own and just remember that I love you more than anybody on this earth. Remember the words. Blood of my blood."

She gave him a watery smile and nodded her head.

"Blood of my blood"

They both turned to face the door and physically pulled themselves together. Harrison pushed open the door a held his arm out for her to take, which she did. They glided forward and the announcer hollered,

"Lord Harrison Potter, Lord of House Potter, Lord of House Black, Lord of House Evans.

Lady Hermione Potter of Houses Potter, Black and Evans."

With this this they made their way down the staircase, as she looked round she saw that everybody was there. People she hadn't seen for years, all of their Hogwarts professors and every family member that she could possibly imagine. She found this odd as they were defiantly not her normal crowd but then again this was a society party.

There was a round of polite applause as they went, Hermione ducked her face in embarrassment at all of the attention but smiled beautifully. They stopped first to greet their friends, she was happy to see Neville with Daphne Greengrass, they were a lovely couple. Opposite in nearly every way but truly brought the best out in each other. Daphne was of an average height and rather slim, she had thick black hair tumbling down her back in loose curls. Her face was beautiful and her skin a lovely peaches and cream, she wore a purple gown so dark it could be seen as black. She was in a word stunning, she was holding the arm of Neville who like Harrison, had shot up to a nice 6" 1. He was muscular and was very solid in build. His confidence had changed him since school. He was a well respected auror with questionably the most beautiful lady of their age as his fiancée.

Next came the Weasleys, Molly looked at the with slight sorrow in her eyes, they were not as close as they used to be but they each made sure to see each other at lease once a fortnight. Arthur came next with his black robes and a jolly smile on his face. He squeezed their shoulders as they past. Bill and Fleur came next, fleurs radiance was by no means diminished by pregnancy, she was literally glowing with happiness. The siblings both asked after little Victoire, the beam that came to Bills face completely diminished the sight of his scars. They had fade to white now but usually his tanned skin failed to disguise them however it seemed that fatherhood had. Down the line came Fred and George, every time she saw Fred she thanked the powers that be that he was able to be saved. She still didn't remember even pulling her wand up to shout the freezing charm to stop the wall falling. She was 80% sure somebody had taken over her body momentarily.

They both had Cheshire cat grins so internally she swore to herself she would not eat or drink anything in their general vicinity.

Both her and Harrison swallowed a small sigh when they got to when Ron should be. He still wouldn't talk to them, this was devastating for them because they did want to be his friend but he wouldn't talk to them since they stood up to speak for the "junior death eaters" and Narcissa Malfoy. They harder their faces though, it was his choice. They had done what they thought was right.

Ginny was there looking happy with her long term boyfriend Dean Thomas. They had been together the summer of her forth year and were looking at getting married. Harrison's short lived crush was just that a crush.

They milled round the room after this stopping to make small talk with people such as Kingsley who was thankfully still Minister and making strong changes for the light but also not discriminating again the dark, they were trying to find a happy medium. They stopped to chat with Lady Longbottom and Madam Marchbanks. They chatted with the Malfoys who had really made strides in adjusting there attitudes. She herself thought it had something to do with how they respected Harrison slightly now for throughing himself into being the family head whole heartedly. He wasn't ashamed to ask for help and because Draco was their closest family member left bar Andromeda and Teddy but she had only just allowed them to see Harrison's god son Teddy Lupin because they wasn't mature enough. They both know this was a lie but she believed Harrison's determination wore her down. They were allowed to have the child now without supervision which was lovely.

A couple of hours had passed when they heard a clinking of glass, Harrison had stood up with his champagne glass raised, the would have a toast and then go on to the blessing so she went to join Harrison with a joyful smile on her face.

"My Own, I am so proud to call you my sister. You strive every day to embody our house words With Courage and Honour We Serve. I do not know anybody more honourable or courageous than you Hermione. I am so glad I met you. You have been by my side since I was 11 years old and not once have you left it, not even when the going got that tough that I wished I could leave my own side. I really don't know what I would have done without you in my life, but thats what tonight is about really isn't it. You are officially starting the next chapter of your life,I personally have the up most faith in you. I know that you will achieve absolutely anything you put your mind too because that's just who you are. So can everybody raise our glasses to my beautiful, talented and all around amazing sister. Lady Hermione Dorea Jean Potter!"

The sound of clinking followed as everybody toasted Hermione with varied degrees of enthusiasm.

Harrison gave her a soothing smile over the next part she was so nervous about the ritual.

Before they formed the circle though Harrison placed something in her hand, it was wrapped in brown paper so she couldn't see what it was but it was the size of a match box although that didn't really give that much away considering they were all magical but she held on to it for dear life.

As the men that carried their blood stood to form a circle Harrison kissed her forehead and gave her a hug. There were a lot of emotions in that hug and that confused her but before she could think too much on it he stepped back and joined the circle. The circle were 7 men that held their blood, unfortunately there were only 2 other families that held any Potter blood at all but luckily for them they had Black blood running through their veins.

The Black's had pretty much married into every family in existence at one time or another so the men to stand in for that family were Harrison, Draco, Arthur Weasley, Neville Longbottom and Bill Weasley. In the case of every man that stood there they were the Head of there family or the end of line Head in the case of Bill being the Head of House Prewett his mother's line.

For the Potter family they had Harrison along with Jasper MacMillan, Ernie from Hufflepuffs father and Oliver Wood. Both had, had Potter women marry into their line in the past 5 generations in the direct line and so were related enough to be able to help.

There were 7 men and 13 magics under their control between them.

To start the blessing each would have to bring forth there family magic. "Familia patronum futurum " echoed around the circle after a split second golden mist like animals blinked into existence a bear for the Longbottoms, a griffin for the Potters, a raven for the Malfoys, a basset hound for the Weasley's and for the Woods a black cat.

Once they had all appeared they all directed them to Harrison, he easily excepted their magic and support. He took a deep breath and started to chant. The noise outside of their circle was none existent, everybody had fallen silent and sat on the edge of their seats. Hermione stood in the middle of the circle, the faces staring intently at her. The magic that was gathering started to ruffle everyone's robes and their hair was starting to raise on the third time round of the chant the men joined in "Sit potentia praesidio nostris in sanguine huius. Jube domne benedicere illam potestatem spirituum nostrae familiae adderet fertilitatem quandam, pulchritudine et felicitate. Sit magia potestate nostra eam guide bene conscium."

Suddenly a glow started to cover Hermione, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly Harrison looked her in the eyes. He mouthed the words,

"Sorry My Own, I love you and good luck"

"Locus ubi illi tergum in tempus iam fuit, ut annales referri sineret fata adducere statera se insinuent, quae nunc et usque in sempiternum"

Her head shot up as the words changed, slowly the words got faster and more voices joined in, she heared the deep rumble of Kingsley Shacklebolt, the aged voices of Madam Marchbanks and Madam Longbottom. The cultured voices of Narcissa and Anderomeda's blending together in perfect harmony. She shot a betrayed look around the room when her necklace started to heat up rapidly. She glanced down, the centre stone was flecked with gold she noticed and it was glowing and pulsing and she could hardly hear any more she frantically tried to move but she was stuck stock still. She shouted for Harrison but before she could tell him to stop she spun so fast what felt like a vortex opened around her. Her skirts were stuck to her legs and her present seemingly glued to her hand
