A/N I want to thank Goddess of magic for reviewing the last chapter and to answer your question it will be decided on the Poll results.
Hermione looked at the paper in her hand in annoyance and thought why did she agreed to check Ron's potion essay. She counted the mistakes and frowned, she had never seen so many mistakes in her life and she could tell you, she had help a lot of dumb kids in her old primary school. Hermione took out the quill and started to circle his mistakes. She shuddered and looked around, she had this feeling that she was being watched.
She laughed at that thought, who would watch her after all she wasn't that special or pretty. Hermione looked at Ron and Harry, she loved the two of them like brothers while Harry thought that she was like sister, Ron didn't in fact he has feelings for her that she couldn't return. She had thought that she had made it very clear but judging by his face, she hadn't. Her thoughts wondered towards her father and stepmother if Hermione was to be honest with herself, she didn't belong with them and their perfect family. Her father couldn't stand up towards Maria that was sure.
Her father had married her when Hermione was five and two words could describe his wife. Hermione remembered the first time she met Maria that woman treated her like she was baby and not like an adult. She remembered while her father was getting ready for the date that night while she interrogated her for her intention with her father that woman was able to twist her words and make it sound like she actually cared for her father but Hermione saw right through that and knew that damned woman wanted her father's money.
"What are you so angry about?" asked Ginny noticing the angry look in Hermione's face. She gave Ginny a fake smile, nobody knew that Maria wasn't Hermione real mother heck she didn't know who her mother was except that she was smart and that she loved the arts and craft. Her aunt didn't talk about her a lot but once mention that when she had met her mother that she had those eyes that seemed like it was trying to figure out how to beat you in battle.
Hermione gave the essay back to Ron but not before explaining his mistakes to him. She sighed when she saw that look in Ron's face that said he doesn't understand what she was saying and thought about how to make him understand better. She knew the only reason why Ron and Harry even kept her around was because of the homework and exams but Harry was a bit better then Ron because he actually does his work.
She looked at the time and cursed under her breath, she doesn't have time to go to the library. She sighed and thought that she will sneak out later to go to the library when everyone was asleep. She smiled to herself, Ron and Harry thinks she had never broken the rules before she had met them but if they had known how much trouble she had been through then they will take that back.
Hermione told everyone goodnight and went to bed. She stared at the ceiling and thought about her birth mother and wondered why didn't she stay with her Dad and her it would had been better then him marrying Maria, she had tried to tell her father that Maria was using him but whenever she said that he would snapped at her. Hermione could hear her roommates' light snoring which was telling her that it was safe to go out. She silently creeped towards the door and gently opening the door to make sure that she doesn't wake anyone up.
Hermione looked around to make sure that no one was spying on her and smiled when she saw that everyone had went to bed. She walked towards the library as silently as she could, she hid behind the knights armor when she saw Mrs. Norris. She could feel the urge to kick that cat but decided not to in fear of getting caught. She waited silently for Mrs. Norris to leave and let out a sigh of relief when the Mrs. Norris left. Hermione looked around to make sure that none of the prefects or teachers were patrolling the Library.
Hermione leaned against the wall as she tried to get back her breath when she felt that she was falling down. She looked around, her eyes widening when she realized that she discovered a secret room. She noticed that there was a painting of a woman, she was a very beautiful woman. The woman had long raven black hair that she kept in a bun but that wasn't what was so striking about her no it was her eyes that was striking from what Hermione could remember from the Hogwarts, A History was that she had dark eyes not stormy grey eyes that seemed to be calculating her every move.
Hermione was surprised to see that it was muggle portrait and not a wizardly one from what she had remembered and heard that Rowena was a pure-blood witch not a muggle born or a half-blood. She looked around and saw that this room hadn't been cleaned in centuries.
Hermione walked toward the table where there seemed to be books, she could believe that she found a room that Rowena Ravenclaw used. She looked at the books and blew the dust away. It wouldn't hurt anyone if I read this thought Hermione as she opened the book.
Hermione was surprised to find that this wasn't a spell book but Rowena's journal. Hermione had always wanted to know more about the founders and thought that maybe she could find out more about her. She started to read the journal.
2nd January 993A.D
I love my Mother but she can be annoying. Why can't she accept that I love Salazar and not Godric don't get me wrong I love Godric but like a brother. Godric is the only one I can talk to about Camp ( What camp thought Hermione) seeing as he and I went there as children.
Salazar well he is different from Godric in so many ways, he isn't hotheaded like Godric and he actually love knowledge not like Godric. He is the only one between the other three that I can have a good debate but I can't understand why mother doesn't like him, he is after all a perfect gentleman to me and Helga.
Helga came to me about her worries about the plants today, it seemed to be growing more hectic when she went in there to check. I wonder if she is a child of Demeter ( Child of Demeter, what is she talking about thought Hermione) it would explain why the plants grew faster whenever she is near by. She reminds me of Demeter but the difference between my great-aunt and her was that Helga wasn't nagging me to eat more. I wish that Godric notice how fond Helga is of him but whenever I ask him of his feelings towards her, he snapped at me telling me that it was none of my business. I had never seen that side of him and I truly don't like that side.
Salazar, he has been acting different since Hades visited us. He doesn't know that Hades is his father and not Rulf (Hermione eyes widen at that revelation) but I had sworn by Styx to Hades that I won't reveled that he is a half-blood and I think it would be better not only for Salazar's sake but for Godric if he found out that he is related to him granted that they are parallel cousins.
Lady Aphrodite had given me an advise about Salazar, I don't know if I should follow her advise seeing as she loves tragedies. I wonder at times what would my life could be like if I wasn't a half-blood but a witch that had two parents that were married. I better stop writing now because it seems like Godric and Salazar are fighting over who gets the tower again. Why can't they just draw sticks it would be more civilized then fighting like a bunch of animals.
End of Journal Entry
Hermione bit her lips from laughing about the revelation about Slytherin's family. If the Slytherins found out that the man they worship was actually a half-blood and not a pureblood, they would be dying from humiliation of that man. Hermione didn't know what she was talking about, come on there is no such thing as a gods and goddess.
She didn't know that Rowena was in love with Salazar, it wasn't mention in any of the books about the founders nor did it mention that Rowena had grown up with Godric. Hermione wanted to know more about her story and did something she knew that will make her regret it later. She took the journal with her and was on her way back towards her Common Room.
"Scurvy Cur," Hermione said to the Fat Lady. She was glad for once in her time of Hogwarts that she didn't ask her why she was out late. Hermione looked at the journal in her hand and thought about what she had learned about the four founders. Rowena was talking about a camp but what is this camp and why wasn't it mention in any of the books. She looked around and smiled when she saw an owl but it was staring at her, it eyes seemed to be scolding her for going out of the girl's dormitory.
Hermione was asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Dream
A beautiful woman looked at the cradle and was crying. The woman had long raven black hair that reached to her shoulders and stormy grey eyes. She took the baby from the crib and cooed.
"I am going to be strong for you Helen," said the woman.
"I told you from the beginning that he was using you and you should be strong for yourself as well," scolded a woman coming up from behind her. She looked a lot like the younger woman but older version but while the younger woman eyes held warmth but the older woman eyes shown anger and sadness as she looked at the younger woman.
"We will talk about this later but why don't we celebrate the birth of my daughter, your granddaughter," said the younger woman.
"What have you decided to name her Rowena?" asked the older woman looking at the baby in Rowena's hands.
"Helen Athena Ravenclaw," answered the younger woman smiling at the older woman. The older woman smiled at Rowena when she heard the middle name and then frowned.
"Does Salazar know that Helen is his child?" asked her mother. Rowena nodded her head at the woman smiling at her in bitterness. She sang the baby to sleep and put her back in the crib.
"Yes he does but he won't admit to anyone that it is his child, Godric said that if I wanted to I can marry him and he would claim the child is his," answered Rowena.
"Are you going to marry him?" asked the older woman raising her eyebrows elegantly at her.
"No and don't give me that look mother, Helga is in love with him and I don't want to ruin our friendship because of my mistake," said Rowena. Her mother was cursing when she mentioned the word mistake, Rowena laughed at what she said.
"Mother can you please not curse in front of my daughter, it is bad enough when Godric does that in front of her," said Rowena. Her mother chuckled at what she said.
"Pray that she doesn't inherit Salazar personality or any of his looks," said her mother. Rowena smiled at her and then the woman disappeared.
End of Dream
Hermione gasped and saw that she was in her room. That dream felt so vivid to her, Hermione had this feeling that she should know who was Rowena's mother. She didn't know why but she had this feeling that she had seen this woman before that dream. She looked around and saw that it was dawn.
She needed to know why she was having these dreams, she looked around and notice the owl from last night was staring at her. Hermione stared at the owl, she didn't like the way it was staring at her in fact that owl was staring at her in amusement and then it flew away to tell its master about her daughter.
A/N Review please.
