Her Pov
I sat with Draco at our table in the Great Hall and talked while eating our breakfast. The post arrived and I saw a raven bringing a little box and putting it near me. I petted him and he left after nibbling softly my finger. Draco looked at me and motioned me to open the box and I did it gasping when I found a nice bracelet inside that was made of platinum and emeralds. I put it on my arm and I took the little card inside.
'Love,
I hope you like this. it belonged to my grandmother and I wanted to give it to you to should how important you are to me.
I would like to diner with you this evening if you are available. Send me your answer and I will prepare everything in my chambers.
Yours,
SS.'
-The man is totally smitten with you Hermione.- Draco said shaking his head. -I never thought he could be like this.-
-I know, it's difficult for me to understand how this happened. I spent the last years pining for him and now I'm able to call him mine.- I said and he hugged me.
-You make a beautiful couple.- Draco said.
-Miss Riddle, I need to talk with you. Can you come to my office before your first class?- Professor Dumbledore asked.
-Of course Sir, I will be there in five minutes.- I answered and he left the table. -This is not good Draco; I hope everything will be ok.-
-It will be and I think lover boy will be at the meeting also.- Draco said looking at the head table where Severus was standing up while looking at Professor Dumbledore. I stood and I started to walked to the door when I felt somebody clapping my shoulder and I heard Ron talking to me.
-So how it's to have a dirty death eater as your suitor?- Ronald yelled and I flinched think about our years as friends.
-Let me alone Ronald.- I growled.
-So is Ronald now?- He sneered at me and I pushed him away leaving the room. -Everybody will realize who you really are soon.-
I walked faster and I arrived at the headmaster office to find Severus waiting for me. He said the password and we climbed the stairs entering the office and sitting down when Professor Dumbledore nodded at us. He was sitting on his desk reading a parchment and put it down glancing at us.
-I had a letter from the Board telling us that a relationship between a teacher and a student it's not a good example so that you have two options. The first is that Severus must resign and you will be able to complete your year.- Professor Dumbledore said. -The second one is for you to take your Newts and to get married to be able to live with Severus at the castle.-
-But Sir, I'm not sure if I would be ready for my newts.- I said nervous and Severus waved at me to silence me.
-Albus, you know that this is not the first time that a student has a relationship with a teacher here. Hermione is on age and I don't understand the problem.- Severus said.
-The problem is her father and that is why they want her to marry as soon as possible.- Professor Dumbledore said and we nodded. -I would like if you could give me an answer about this soon.-
-Ok, Albus, let us talk about this and I will let you know. We will leave the castle today to be able to talk in peace. Can you cancel my classes today? I will give you the homework for all of them.- Severus said helping me up. -Hermione, please be ready in ten minutes.-
-Severus, Hermione, have a nice day.- Professor Dumbledore said and we left the office.
I met Severus at the entrance and I apparated us to my room in the Riddle manor. We walked to my dad's office and we found him talking with Lucius. They told us to sit with them and dad took me to his side.
-Mia, I knew you will be coming home. Did the headmaster tell you already?- Dad asked and I nodded.
-He said that we have to choose between Severus losing his job or the marriage.- I said and they nodded.
-Lucius told me that Dumbledore convince the board that it could be bad for the school to have a teacher courting a student.- Dad said and Lucius nodded.
-I tried to tell them that he would never dishonor you but Dumbledore was strong in his speech and now you need to choose.- Lucius said and I hold Dad's shirt hard.
-Dad, I'm just scared that you would be angry with me.- I said looking at him.
-No little one, I would be happy to call Severus my son but I did not want to pressure you on this.- Dad said. -I can help you with your Newts also.-
-Thank you Dad.- I said and I saw Severus walking to my side and kneeling next to me.
-Mia, I met you some years ago when you entered our world. On the beginning, you annoyed me as you were always asking, always trying to learn more but I understood that you only wanted to know us, to be able to be a part of the world that you were discovering. I fell for you hard and today I would love to ask you to be my wife.- Severus said showing me a lovely ring made of platinum and emeralds.
-Oh yes, I will marry you.- I said kissing him and he grinned at me.
-Well done Severus.- Dad said. -Now we have a marriage to organize.-
-I will take care of that and we could use this to try to tell Harry the truth.- Lucius said.
-Yes, I will be able to walk my daughter to the altar.- Dad said happily.
-Narcisa will prepare everything. We will tell the headmaster that they will marry next week but the actual marriage will take place in two days.- Lucius said. -Sirius can invite Harry to his manor for the weekend and he can apparate him to Riddle manor for the wedding.-
-We can hide this and next week the headmaster will 'marry us' in secret.- I said and they beamed at me.
-My little one is very Slytherin after all.- Dad said and I laughed.
I left the manor happily engaged to my love and he walked me to the dorm before leaving me to speak with the headmaster. I entered the common room and Draco was reading a book near the fire. I sat and he looked at me.
-I was worried as I did not know where you were.- Draco said hugging me.
-Well, the talk with the headmaster was not good and I needed to speak with my father.- I said and he nodded.
-So what is the great news?- Draco asked and I smirked.
-You will be able to call me aunty in two days.- I said and he gasped.
-Are you telling me that you will be married to my godfather?- Draco groaned.
-The headmaster convinced the headboard that it was not good for a teacher to courtship a student and we were forced to choose between him losing his job or marriage. My father told us that he preferred the second option and we were glad to comply.- I said showing him the ring and he smiled at me.
-He will be good for you.- Draco said.
-Yes, we will tell the headmaster that we want a very private ceremony next week but you father is preparing everything in your home.- I said and he smiled again. -Sirius will bring Harry to the wedding.-
The next day the headmaster told me that I was allowed to go to my home for the next two days and I went to my room to pack. After I told this to Draco, he told me that he father would pick him for the wedding telling the headmaster that Cissa was ill and she needed her son with her. I apparated to Riddle manor and I found Cissa waiting for me with some dresses to try. We went to my room and we sat on my bed.
-Hermione, I was thinking that everything may be strange for you and you probably would need somebody to talk.- Cissa said.
-Well yes, my life changed so much and now I'm getting married.- I said looking down. -He is older and I'm not sure if I will be interesting enough for him.-
-Are you a virgin?- She asked.
-Well, yes.- I said and she smiled. -I only had some silly kisses with Victor when he was here and that was everything.-
-He will be ok, just tell him and he will be nice with you.- Cissa said. -He really loves you.-
-I know is just that everything is so different.- I said looking at my reflection. -Yes, this is the one.-
-He will love this dress.- Cissa said. -Good, I know what to do with your hair and makeup. Now try to relax and enjoy your last day as a single woman.-
-Thank you. I heard Dad and Lucius were finishing with the last details.- I said.
-Yes, your father is really excited about your wedding and Lucius had to stop him sometimes because this was getting out of order.- Cissa said laughing. -He wanted to bring our peacocks to your wedding and Lucius had a fit about hurting his little babies.-
-I try to imagine that.- I said laughing.
-Mean one, I want you to be happy.- Dad said entering the room with Lucius who smirked.
-I was joking Dad.- I said hugging him.
-So we have everything ready. I organized the plans for the ceremony. Lucius and Narcisa organized the reception. Sirius just send me a letter that Harry will be here. He told him that an old friend was ill and that he needed to go with him.- dad said. -Somebody found Pettigrew and Sirius is free of charges now.-
-Good to know that.- I said.
-Your intended will be here tomorrow for the ceremony as our tradition said and today you are to spend the day with your family.- Dad said taking my hand. -Come, I need to show you something.-
-Ok, Dad.- I said walking with him to a chamber I realized that I never saw before.
-In our family when the heir gets married, he or she can enter our secret chamber. Here you will find our history as a clan and everything you need to know to help the family.- Dad said opening the door. -When I met your mother, this door opened for me and I'm showing you this today.-
We were sitting in a beautiful room with a nice library, a heart, some couches and a coffee table. I could see some trunk inside and dad bought a little one to the table. He opened and I saw a set of jewels inside.
-These are the Slytherin jewels. They are used for the weddings and is for you to used them tomorrow.- Dad said and I took the necklace which was made of platinum, emeralds and diamonds.
-This is so beautiful dad.- I said and he nodded.
-When you will have your first born, the room will provide you with book about how to raise our heir.- Dad said and he hugged me. -It's strange to think that I will be a grandfather soon.-
-No so soon, I need to know him a little more before. I don't want to change his life so much.- I said and he nodded.
-I talked with him last night. He is just afraid that one day you would realize that you don't love him and you would leave him.- Dad said and I shook my head.
-I spent the last two years loving him.- I said and he nodded.
-I know but he is unsure about himself sometimes.- Dad said. -Potter did a great number on him.-
-I know, Harry always felt guilty for that.- I said. -When is Harry arriving here?-
-Tomorrow morning before the wedding as we need to talk with him and he will have to change for the wedding.- Dad said. -I'm afraid that he will not forgive me for what happened the last two years. I almost killed this boy who was with him at the graveyard.-
-Yes, Cedric, he's ok now. It took him some time to heal but Cho told me that he is ok.- I said and Dad nodded.
-Good, Come, they are waiting for us to eat and you will go to bed soon. Tomorrow you have a very long day.-
Har Pov
I woke up and I was happy thinking about my weekend with Sirius. He told me that he would be taking me to his house and we would spend a nice weekend reconnecting as a family. I prepared my bag and I sat near the fire when I hear somebody sitting next to me.
-Harry. Are you ok?- Ginny asked and I nodded. She was very annoying the last weeks, following me around like a little puppy.
-Yes, Ginny. I will go with Sirius over the weekend.- I said and she frowned.
-Really? Are you sure this is wise?- She asked and I nodded.
-Yes, as you remember he is free of charges now.- I said irritated.
-Ok, just remember that I'm here for you always.- She said leaning closer and I stood up.
-Thank you, Ginny, I will go to the entrance as I'm sure he is already there.- I said walking to the door of the common room.
I walked slowly to the entrance and I heard Sirius laughing with Hagrid. He looked at me and I hugged him enjoying that he was free and he was family. Sometimes I felt so alone, especially after Hermione discovered her family. Oh Merlin, how my sister could be related to the person who wanted to kill me so badly and killed my family?
-Harry, you look stressed.- Sirius said walking me to the gates.
-It's just that I miss Hermione. After her change of status, I cannot find a way to talk with her anymore. I feel that Ron and Ginny are all the time between us.- I said and he nodded.
-I know, I saw this and I will try to help you.- Sirius said. -Now, before we go to Grimmauld House, we need to visit a friend of mine who is ill.-
-Really? Ok.- I said and he nodded.
-I will apparate us to his manor and you will be polite.- Sirius said and I nodded not understanding what was the meaning.
He apparated us near a big manor and I felt it was familiar; we walked to the gate and I froze when I saw the crest on the door. Riddle Manor, what was Sirius doing?
-Sirius, why are we here?- I asked scared.
-Hermione needs you today Harry; we will explain everything to you but you need to calm down.- Sirius said.
-He will kill me.- I said and he shook his head.
-He will be not around at the moment. He promised me that.- Sirius said.
-Did you talk with him? How?- I asked confused and scared about him betraying the order.
-You will understand after you speak with Hermione.- Sirius said opening the door and pushing me inside.
-Harry!- I heard Hermione yelling and she hugged me tightly. -I miss you so much, I have so much to tell you, to show you.-
-Why are we here?- I asked.
-I will explain that too Harry.- Mione said. -Come with me please.-
We went to a beautiful sitting room where I saw a pensive and a vial next to it. I looked at her and she nodded.
-This will change your life as it changed mine but you will have what you always wanted if you are open minded.- She said. -I checked the memories and they are not tamed. Sirius and some of the order already saw them and Moody checked them also.-
-Ok, are you entering them with me?- I asked.
-No, you need to do this alone.- She said. -Go, this will be harder the longest you wait to do it.
I looked at the pensive and I poured the memories inside. I touched the liquid with my nose and I felt inside. I was shocked to see my mother entering the dark coffee bar and sitting on the table sniffling. This guy, a handsome one came to talk with her and I gasped. He was Tom Riddle. He was charming and comforted her. They started to talk and she left the place feeling better. They started to meet sometimes until he invited her to his manor where he confessed his love for her and she kissed him. It was strange to see them together, laughing, kissing and I felt that they did other things but I didn't want to think about that. I was in shock again when she told him about her pregnancy and he hugged her. She said that she was expecting twins and he was so happy. I was angry when I heard about James Potter and his betrayal, his angry words for her and how he would hurt her. I saw them cleaning the Riddle manor and preparing a nice place for the babies. I saw a patronus entering the room telling that she was in labor and I saw him helping her to give life to two children, Hermione and me. He put some glamour on us and he left the house with Hermione as he needed to protect her from James Potter. I felt myself leaving the pensive and I found Mione looking at me anxiously.
-Sister.- I said taking her into my arms and she was crying. -I always felt so close to you and now I can understand. We are twins.-
-Yes, I was in shock when he came to my house and showed me this.- Mione said and I nodded. -I wanted to tell you but between Professor Dumbledore, Ronald and Ginevra, I just couldn't.-
-I know; where is he? Do you think that we could talk?- I asked.
-I'm here son.- I heard somebody talking and I saw my father for the first time.
-Why did you want to kill me?- I asked.
-I'm sorry son.- He said looking at me. -The last memory that I had was Potter trying to kill us and when I saw you so similar to him. Also, the potion that the rat gave me made me forget. Severus helped me with a potion to recover my memories.-
-So what now?- I asked confused.
-Now I can take off your glamour and we will see how to handle this. I think Dumbledore knows this but he is too much in love with the power this war gives him.- Father said.
-Can I hold you?- I asked softly and he pulled me to his side hugging me and kissing my head.
-The last time I had you in my arms you were two months old.- Father said softly and I nuzzled against him. -Harry, your mother was so happy with you.-
-I just can imagine how everything happened.- I said and he nodded.
-She was so beautiful and so smart. I miss her so much.- Father said. -Ok, I will put down your glamour and we will tell you the second news.-
-Ok.- I said and he muttered an ancient spell.
It was painful and I groaned while he held me on the couch. I felt my body changing and I shuddered to wait for this to be over. Mione transfigured a mirror and I saw myself for the first time. I was taller, almost like him. My hair was black and had nice curls. My face was similar to his but I had my mother eyes. We could say that I was handsome like he was. I looked at them and they were smiling at me. We were so similar and it was easy to see that we were family.
-So, how are we going to do with school?- I asked.
-We need to find a solution.- Mione said. -Maybe a temporal glamour until this is over?-
-Could be but Dumbledore will be able to see this.- Father said.
-Would you be angry if I don't want a glamour?- I asked.
-No, I just want to make your life easier but you can take my name if you want.- Father said and I nodded. -Good, we will take care of that later. Now Mia has news for you.-
-Harry as you know, I started a courtship with Severus.- Mione said and I nodded. -The headmaster told us that the board said that we needed to get married so today I'm marrying him.-
-Are you sure of this?- I asked and she nodded.
-I love him and he is good for me.- Mione said.
-I will protect her always Harry.- Snape said and I nodded.
-She is my sister and I don't want her to be hurt.- I said.
-I will take care of her.- Snape said. -Good, we need to get ready. I will go because I'm not supposed to see her too much now.-
Snape left the room and I was looking at my father. It was difficult to understand how everything happened, that the man I thought was my father was a dangerous and cruel man and the one who was believed to do everything for the greater good was actually trying to profit from us.
-How are Ron and Ginny involved in this?- I asked and father sighed.
-Molly told us that Dumbledore promised them to have you both after I was death.- Father said and Mione nodded.
-So we were supposed to be their reward?- I asked and they nodded.
-Part of the order already know about us and will be here tonight.- Mione said and I nodded. -ok, I have to go see Cissa and start to get ready for the ceremony.-
-What I'm going to wear tonight?- I asked and father smiled at me.
-I have your robes in my rooms.- Father said. -Come I will show you the way and after the wedding, I will show you your room.-
