Chapter 2

The morning sun shone through the window casting the colors of the stain glass all around me. I stretched my arms above my head and then rubbed my small baby bump. I whispered. "Good morning babies."

I heard rustling beside me. "Good morning, mother." Hermione's voice joked from beside me. I noticed that all of her scratches from last night were all healed.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Hermione, I think we should refer to me as Jewelynn or Jewel. I'm glad you are looking better. Do you have a nickname you prefer?"

"My friend's called me Mione but if you want to call me something else you can."

I smiled at her but shook my head. "I feel being your mother I should have a different nickname for you. May I ask your full name?"

"Hermione Elizabeth well let's say for now Dumbledore." She smiled back.

My heart dropped. I got up and walked toward her. "I named you after the first two girls that had my back in Hogwarts. Their names were Elizabeth Prince and Hermione Nott." I felt a tear fall from my cheek at the memory of them. I placed my hand on her cheek and stroked my thumb over it. I was truly amazed by how much she looked like me. "I wonder what happened to them. Well that's a question for uncle. Their nicknames for each other were Mia and Liz."

"I like Mia." Hermione suggested.

She whipped a tear off my cheek and I agreed. "Me too" we laughed together. "Good now let's get dressed and head to uncles office shall we."

"Yes, I believe that would be a good idea." We dressed in cloths uncle had left for us last night. "Why didn't Dumbledore leave us uniforms?"

"I'm not sure but the dresses are very different from my time. Showing this much ankle would have been scandalous."

Hermione laughed at my comment. "You most defiantly not like the outfits from my time."

"I will have to get use to this."

"I don't' think you will have too much trouble. I think these dresses will be helpful to keep you cool."

"Oh I imagine that you're right. Do you think the boys who visited us yesterday will like them?" I joked twirling around.

"Oh yes they will." We laughed together. "I'm ready."

"As am I." We proceeded to the Headmaster's office. Once we arrived I paused at the grand door. I was poised to knock when I held up my hand. "Inside there is someone who I will like to play a trick on so please play along." I told Hermione.

"How do you know someone is there?"

"It's old magic I'll teach you sometime. It's along the likes of keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

She looked confused but nodded. "I'll do what I can."

"Thank you." I proceeded to open the door. "Good Morning Uncle!" I greeted cheerfully.

Both men fell silent. "Sorry to intrude Uncle."

"It's alright my dears. Come in. Let me introduce you to Young Lucius Malfoy."

Hermione and I stood together. "Good Morning Mister Malfoy. I am Jewel and this is my younger sister Mia."

"Good morning." The young Malfoy stepped forward and kissed my hand then Hermione's. "You must be the young ladies we heard were transferring to Hogwarts. I must say I didn't know that the Headmaster had any young nieces." He winked at me. I tried to keep myself from throwing in my mouth.

I giggled for effect then responded "Yes, sir we were at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Due to the horrible occurrences Uncle and father thought it would be best if we came back home." I looked at Lucius who must have been Abraxas' son more in-depth. He was tall like his father as well as the family bright blond hair but I recognized his eyes they were defiantly from his mother who I can assume was Medusa Nott. She was the only one with those steal grey eyes.

"Please call me Lucius." Lucius corrected me trying to use his charming smile.

"Thank you, Lucius. Is there anything my sister and I can do for you? I assume you are here to make sure we are appropriate for your school."

"Yes, Miss Dumbledore. I do have to check your scores and paper work."

"Please call me Jewelynn." I corrected him being as sickeningly sweet as those pureblood girls of my time.

"Let me go and fetch your papers girls I believe Professor McGonagall has them. Please feel free to have a seat Mr. Malfoy, girls."

"Yes uncle." I responded as my uncle left the room. I settled down on the coach near the fire and gestured Hermione to sit with me. "Mia, do you remember me telling you about sensing magic in a room."

She paused for a second and then nodded. "I believe I do."

"Good. Mia, close your eyes and let the feeling of the room fill you." I paused letting her catch up. "Do you feel your magic?" Hemione nodded. "Good now push your feelings out to find mine." It took her a moment then she nodded. "Good last part let your feelings go. Do you feel anything out of the ordinary?"

She took a few minutes and then she said "There is more than just the three of us here."

I chuckled then commanded. "Take off your delusion charm Axas. I know my uncle already knows you're here."

A shimmer appeared in the corner as he dropped his charm. "You were always too smart for your own good Jewel."

"Stop trying to butter me up, Axas. Tell Tom to mind his own business and I will never give him my child or my magic.

"How dare you speak his true name." Lucius Malfoy growled.

"I can call him whatever I want. He rapped me and killed those I love. So get over yourself and off your high horse. Don't follow your father you will only die along with him."

"What are you talking about?" Lucius looked confused.

"Oh Abraxas," I said with pity in my voice. "he doesn't know the old stories. Am I a taboo topic with him? Good to know that I still hold something over him."

Abraxas growled. "You are speaking as though you can affect him."

"Because you just told me I do." I stated matter of factually.

"The Dark Lord is the most powerful person in the world. He desires your respect." Lucius tried to scare me.

I had enough of this game. I raised my hand. Using my magic I forced Lucius' body to kneel before me. "This is what he wants you to do. To kneel to him and make you do his dirty work. You are just a child I have been around longer then you and am more powerful then you. This is the power you believe he has. All he wants is for others to fear him and power to cheat death. Death is a friend to be welcomed when your time is up not to be run away from. Notice how your father doesn't come to your aide. Tom may only fear my Uncle but his minions know better than the cross me." I released him from my grasp.

I turned to see Hermione had backed away from us. "Mia, this is not a power I like to take advantage of please understand I call on it to keep my family safe. There is a lot in our family that you need to know that I will teach you but for now Uncle is coming back up the stairs. Gentleman if you please let Tom know to keep his slippery nose out of my business." I proceeded back to my seat beside Hermione. "Oh and tell him I want my Familiar back."

The door opened to Dumbledore. "Ah Abraxas, good to see you have joined us. Now Lucius here is the paper work. I believe that we should do the sorting now. Don't you gentleman?" The both nodded. "Jewel will you come forward first."

I walked forward and sat on the stool while I waited for the hat to speak. 'Hello Miss Dumbledore. It has been a while. Now let's see if you have changed. You are still cunning but you have become very protective of others. You would be surprised how much you have changed in what you consider little time. You haven't changed enough, to change houses. But first I want to tell you that your babies are very powerful.' "Slytherin" The hat announced.

"Thank you, uncle." I smiled sweetly.

"Hermione, would you like to take the seat." Dumbledore beckoned Hermione to take my spot.

Hermione sat down and she seemed to be having a conversation with the hat.

I felt a person come up behind me. "You know he will want me to take you to him."

"Try and you will fail. Touch my baby or Family you will feel my wrath. Understood?"

"There are things that have happened that I'm sure you will find out. I can help you there." Abraxas went to slip his hand in mine.

I whipped around. "Axas, don't try and make this better. You helped him and that sealed your choice." I moved to Hermione when the hat yelled. "Gryffindor" I could tell she was nervous about being separated. Honestly I was too. I whispered "We will work it out."

"I know."

"Uncle, could you show us to our common room or should we go to breakfast?"

"I believe you both should go to breakfast. I believe you made a few new friends. I believe they are Misters Potter, Black and Lupin?"

"Yes, uncle." Hermione replied.

"Well I think for now you should sit together. Now since you are in different years you I will assign you to a student in your year to help you with your transition."

"Might I suggest young Mister Snape to help Miss Jewelynn." Abraxas suggested.

"I think that would be a great pair Abraxas. I shall call him and Hermione my dear I think Monica Gregorovitch of Gryffindor will do to help you."

"Thank you, uncle." We thanked together.

"I will introduce you to them at breakfast. Misters Malfoy, will you be joining us for breakfast?"

"No, Headmaster. We will be leaving. Come along Lucius." He nodded to the group and headed out the door. Lucius fallowed behind and shut the door firmly behind them.

"Uncle, can we please head out. I don't want to have any more surprised at the moment."

"Jewel, I'm sorry but you will have more surprises to come when I tell you about what has been happened to your friends."

"Another time, I don't' think I'm ready to know some of their fates just yet."

"Very well, Let's go eat." Dumbledore led us to the Great Hall.
