Chapter 4- Finishing the Pair
Silence was all that was heard in the private room as what Ragnok said started to sink in, further and further. Harry Potter was heir to Morgan Le-Fay, mortal enemy of Merlin and considered one of the strongest and darkest witches ever and Salazar Sytherin, the odd one out of the Hogwarts four.
"How is that possible?" Andromeda said.
Ragnok had recovered a little while ago and was going over the blood test "he is heir to Sytherin by conquest, not blood, although for some reason he does have Sytherin blood in him. The last lord Sytherin was Lord Voldemort, but on that night, the lordship went to Hadrian when he defeated him. The heir to Le-Fay comes from an ancient magic Morgan Le-Fay casted before she died, which would decide who would be her heir. The heir would be herself incarnate, and it just so happens that incarnation is Hadrian."
"Bloody hell" Narcissa said looking at Harry who seemed slightly confused by everything.
"What's incarnated mean?" Harry asked Narcissa.
"Incarnated is a term used to describe when a past soul comes back from the dead and is reborn into a new body." Narcissa answered.
Andromeda nodded "and apparently you are a male counterpart of Morgan Le-Fay."
"Who's Morgan Le-Fay?" Harry asked.
"I can answer that" Ragnok said. "She was one of the most powerful sorcerous in living history, and was the only one known being able to hold their own against Merlin. However, the history books have always depicted her as a dark and evil witch; however there is no truth to those tales since the accounts were never properly written down, so people speculate who she was."
Harry let it all sink in a little bit. 'So if I'm a dark wizard, will people think I'm evil? What will Cissy and Dromeda think? Will they still like me or will they give me up' as those thoughts circled his brain, he became increasingly more worried about what might happen. What if Narcissa decided she couldn't be associated with him and left him? What if he was forced to go to prison because he was labeled an automatic evil wizard?
"Being the incarnation of Morgan Le-Fay is not a bad thing" Ragnok said. "In fact it might be a blessing. Many witches and wizards have tried to become as great as Morgan and Merlin, but never could. You, as Morgan herself reborn may, no, will do great things. What they are I cannot say, but you will be great in some way or another."
Harry was entranced by Ragnok's words, which seemed to kill all of his negative thoughts. He was going to be great, he was going to be powerful, he will do great things was all that he could think about.
"Does this mean that he has to 'you know'" Andromeda said, hoping that they knew what the 'you know' was. Honestly, two more titles, Sytherin and Le-Fay were just added to his ever expanding list of titles, and she hoped that they wouldn't have another contract.
Ragnok smirked "no, no more 'you know what's' are going to come about this."
Andromeda sighed in relief while Harry looked inquisitively at the goblin.
"Excuse me, but what is the 'you know what'?" Harry asked.
"Oh it's just adult stuff" Narcissa said quickly, making sure the marriage contracts didn't come up. She will tell him later, maybe in a couple of months, or years.
Harry nodded, "ok, now can I see our family tree?"
Ragnok nodded and took another file out and opened it, revealing the black family tree.
"As you can see, the black family tree has been updated" Ragnok said. "The Malfoy family has been kicked off ever since your divorce with Lucius, Narcissa. Also Andromeda, your family has been reinstated in the black family as you can see, along with your daughter Nymphadora and husband Ted Tonks."
Harry looked at Andromeda "you have a daughter?"
She nodded "yes, she is my nine year old daughter and your niece."
"Niece? But she's older than me"
"Well" Andromeda said "since your mother was our aunt, that makes you our cousin, and since you are our cousin that makes my daughter your niece, despite the age difference."
"Like that story about lord Volde… whatever his name was, that's silly" Harry said.
"That's how pureblood families work" Narcissa said "a whole bunch of silly nonsense that makes sense to only other pureblood families." 'That's why we got 6 bloody contracts and 8 different titles to worry about, bloody pureblood families.'
Andromeda nodded in agreement, and then looked at Harry, who was taking a good look at around their part of the tree.
"Who's Bellatrix?" Harry asked.
Both Andromeda and Narcissa paled when they heard the name of their eldest sister.
"She's our eldest sister" Narcissa said.
"Then where is she?" Harry asked. "Is she dead?"
Andromeda shook her head "no, she is in Azkaban"
"Azkaban, what's that?" Harry asked.
Narcissa paled slightly. "Azkaban is the wizard's prison"
Harry's eyes widened in shock. "What did she do?"
"Our sister Bellatrix was a death eater, one of Lord Voldemort's followers, and was convicted for the murder of countless people during the last war and for the over exposure of the cruciatus curse, which is the most powerful torture curse, on Frank and Alice Longbottom who have now gone insane" Andromeda said while Narcissa just nodded in agreement.
Harry narrowed his eyes at the two women slightly, "did she say she did it?"
"Uh, what do you mean Harry?" Narcissa asked.
"I mean, did she say she did it?" Harry said. "The Dursleys would never listen to me when I did something or not, so she might be having the same problem. If people didn't listen to her side of the story, then it wouldn't be fair to her."
"Hadrian is right" Ragnok said which made the two sister's snap their heads violently in Ragnok's direction, who was going through another file. "Being from multiple ancient and noble houses, and a pureblood to boot, Miss Lestrange needs to have a trial. As for her husband, he only belongs to one so it's not as important, but Miss Lestrange belongs to the main branch of not only the Black family, but the Rosier and Dragonouv families, and her right to a trial is absolute in our society."
"I can't believe it" Narcissa said.
"Believe what you may" Ragnok said, "but your family has a couple of court cases to settle out, which would include the one with one Albus Dumbledore and now this one with Miss Lestrange. To be frank, you can just demand that Miss Lestrange be released this instance without a trial, but I know that won't suit with you Miss Tonks."
Andromeda nodded "your right. As a practitioner in the law my ideology is a fair trial to everyone and if my sister is guilty then she will remain in Azkaban however, if innocent, I will do everything I can to get her out." She then took a great gulp for air and sighed "I will personally do this case, as it is the least I can do for a family member even if she is guilty."
Narcissa smiled at Andromeda. It was no secret to them that Bellatrix had always favored her, but that was probably because Narcissa was the baby sister while Andromeda could be the annoying younger sister.
"Is there any evidence that could help figure out if Bellatrix is innocent?" Narcissa asked Ragnok, who was going through another one of his many files.
"Well this is interesting" Ragnok said out loud.
"What's interesting?" Andromeda asked.
"It would appear the marriage contract between one Bellatrix Black and one Rudolphus Lestrange is much different from that of most. Tell me, did Miss Lestrange want to be married to Rudolphus?"
Both Andromeda and Narcissa shook their heads. "Not that I remember" Narcissa said.
"In fact" Andromeda added. "I think she was revolted by the idea of it, which was very odd because only a week after our father said she had to marry him, she did"
"Miss Lestrange's contract with Lord Lestrange is not only a marriage contract, but also a form of slave contract, where the prime benefiter of the contractor, which is Lord Lestrange, is able to use a form of torture on the lessor, which is Miss Lestrange, when he feels necessary." Ragnok then closed the file "in other words, every time your sister does something that Lord Lestrange doesn't approve of, or whenever he feels like it, she gets tortured."
"Then we need to get her out of this contract!" Andromeda yelled furiously. The idea of any form of marriage contract made her a little uneasy, but the idea of a slave contract just made her want to break the desk and go rampaging through the streets.
"That is for Lord Black to decide" Ragnok said, looking at Harry.
"Yah, do it. I don't want my cousin to get tortured for no reason"
"Well then" Ragnok said taking out the contract between Bellatrix and Rudolphus. "All you have to do is say over this contract 'as Lord of the ancient and most noble house of Black, I renounce the contract between Bellatrix Black and Rudolphus Lestrange, so mote it be'."
"Okay" Harry said "'as Lord of the ancient and most noble house of Black, I renounce the contract between Bellatrix Black and Rudolphus Lestrange, so mote it be'
"Well that takes care of that" Ragnok said "I will inform you of Miss Black's status. I estimate on July 31 she will be out of Azkaban. With this evidence, I can get her out without anyone stopping me no matter what, and I hope you don't disagree with me, but I do think that Bellatrix deserves to be out of Azkaban, guilty or not, for the torture she has been through by Lord Lestrange."
"I don't disagree" Andromeda said.
"Good" Ragnok said. "The last of our business is for claiming your Dragonouv inheritance, which requires for you to go through a ritual which will be ready by Hadrian's sixth birthday on the 31st of July. I hope to see you come by the bank to have it done the day after his birthday on the 1st of August."
"Thank you Ragnok for your time" Narcissa said, as Harry jumped out of her lap and she stood up. "I hope everything goes well with our sister and we will be back on the 1st to go through the ritual."
"If I may Miss Black" Ragnok said "but may I have a private word with you before you leave?"
"Of course, Dromeda take Harry outside, I won't be long." Andromeda nodded and took Harry with her outside of the room leaving only the goblin and Narcissa in it. "So what seems to be the problem Ragnok?"
Ragnok sighed "On the night of July 31st 1980, two babies were born, Hadrian and another unknown child. This unknown child was Hadrian's younger twin sister, who after being birthed from her mother's womb unexpectedly one hour after Hadrian was born, was kidnapped. Your aunt was devastated; however, she was the only one to know that she had been taken away from her and had requested our bank to try and find her using an ancient form of tracking magic."
"A twin sister" Narcissa said in a hushed tone "but why wasn't she on the tree?"
"I had it covered up while Hadrian and Lady Tonks looked at it, since the subject is a very delicate one. However, mere hours before you came we had luck and have pin pointed her location to one address"
Narcissa's eyes widened "where? Where is this twin?"
"34 Queens drive, Kent" Ragnok said.
X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X
Their day at Diagon alley was quite nice in Narcissa's opinion. They had gotten Harry a complete wardrobe of new clothes which included muggle and wizard clothing and some things he would need for his room which included special paint that was able to change color and some new bed sheets. They had also stopped off at the Flourish and Blotts and had gotten him a couple of books to teach him the basic things kids needed to learn like writing and math.
But what really got him excited was when they stopped at the quidditch supply store, which just seemed to draw him in. Narcissa had told him that his father played quidditch when he was at school, which just seemed to add to his excitement.
From there, they had gotten him a Puddlemere United jersey, since that was James's favorite team and it was rumored that ownership of the team belonged to the Potter family, and a Nimbus 1985, since that company was owned by the Black family. Narcissa also made sure they got some Puddlemere posters so that Harry wouldn't go down the same road that Sirius went, bikini girls all over his wall.
Andromeda and Narcissa were also planning on reconstructing the Potter manor since during the last war it had been wiped out. They knew that they would have to go over all Harry's assets, which considering his lineage could take days, so they decided to hold it off until they had some more time to go through a thorough examination.
After getting back to Grimmauld place at around 6 that night and having a quick muggle meal at a local burger joint, Narcissa and Andromeda had put Harry to sleep in Sirius's room who fell asleep instantly.
"Well Cissy I guess it's time" Andromeda said.
Narcissa nodded since she had told Andromeda about the twin that needed to be retrieved. Andromeda had agreed to come with Narcissa to get her, and hopefully, it wouldn't be too bad or at least not as bad as when Narcissa had retrieved Harry.
"So what's the address?" Andromeda asked Narcissa, as the two of them exited Sirius's room.
"34 Queens drive Kent" Narcissa said.
"Muggle area" Andromeda said "probably best not to be in robes"
Narcissa nodded and quickly transfigured her robes into a light blue blouse and a pair of tight jeans along with white high heeled boots.
Andromeda just starred at her sister who shrugged "just because I live in pureblood society doesn't mean I don't keep up with muggle fashion. Honestly this stuff makes me look hot"
"You were always a fashion addict Cissy no matter what it was"
"Come on Dromeda" Narcissa said who was already walking down the stairs.
Andromeda sighed and transfigured her cloths into what Narcissa was wearing except with a dark skirt, a dark green top and black boots and followed Narcissa out of the door.
X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X
When they got to the address, Narcissa felt like she was back in little Whinging, except these houses were slightly larger in both size and space between each house.
"Well this one's 34" Narcissa said.
"Cissy do you know how we are going to get them to listen to us" Andromeda asked. "I mean, we don't know what she looks like." She then thought for a second "and what is her name?"
"She doesn't have one yet" Narcissa said as she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. "But once we find her I'll ask her what she wants her name to be. Elizabeth never had time to finish up all of her daughters considering we were in the middle of a war."
"Great" Andromeda said exasperated "no name, no description, how the bloody hell are we supposed to get her?"
"Just let me do the talking Dromeda" Narcissa said as she strutted off towards the door.
Andromeda rolled her eyes "whatever" and she followed up behind Narcissa's strut.
Narcissa knocked on the door three times and then waited, while Andromeda just stood slightly behind her.
Narcissa didn't really know what to expect when she knocked on the door to this muggle home. It could possibly be like the incident with the Dursleys, where the door was slammed in her face, or maybe they could invite her in and they could have a civil conversation,
Narcissa remembered that her father would also say the muggles didn't have the same high class culture as purebloods, which she agreed to, but she didn't think that wasn't any reason to think less of them.
When the door opened to the house, a man stood at its entrance. He seemed relatively friendly in Narcissa's mind unlike Mr. Dursley, who was a fat slob; this man seemed to be rather well put together in both weight and appearance. He had short brown hair comb slightly to the left and round glasses that gave his face a very welcoming look to it. He wasn't big or tall, actually he could be slightly on the short side, but he was lean. He wore khaki pants and a dark collared shirt. However what stuck in their minds was his teeth, which were absolutely amazing.
"Hello there" the man said "what can I do for you two ladies"
"Hello there my name is Narcissa" Narcissa said politely "and this is my older sister Andromeda. We are both looking for a girl and my sources tell us she is residing in this house hold."
The man's face paled slightly, but he was able to regain his composure rather quickly. "Please come inside we can discuss this over some tea. By the way, my name is Daniel, Daniel Granger."
"Pleasure and thank you" Narcissa said following Daniel in while Andromeda followed behind Narcissa.
Daniel led the two of them to a rather comfortable sitting room, with a brown leather couch facing a television with two armchairs on either side of it. A coffee table sat in the middle of it and along the walls were various photos of two people, one being Daniel, and the other being a rather attractive dark haired woman who could only possible be his wife. He took a seat in one of the arm chairs, while Narcissa took a seat in the other, leaving Andromeda to take a seat on the couch.
"Olivia, please bring some tea, we have guests" Daniel shouted to the kitchen.
"Be right there, and stop yelling" a woman shouted from the kitchen.
A couple of seconds later, the same dark haired woman from the pictures entered the room, but what caught Andromeda and Narcissa's attention again was the fact that she also had perfect teeth like her husband.
Olivia put a tray of tea and some crackers on the table and took a seat on the couch next to Andromeda.
"Hello there, my name is Olivia Granger" the woman said.
"Hello, my name is Narcissa Black and this is my sister Andromeda Tonks. Like I said to your husband, we are looking for a girl that we believe is here"
Much like her husband, Olivia paled slightly when she mentioned the girl again. "What do you want with Hermione?" she asked.
"I wasn't aware that she was given a name yet" Narcissa said "is that something you gave her?"
Daniel nodded "yes we gave her that name two months ago when we took custody of her. She said she was never given a name before that point"
"May I ask where did you find her?" Narcissa asked.
Daniel nodded "Well my main profession is being a dentist, however I also do volunteer work at the police department since was raised in that kind of environment. About two months ago, I volunteered to do a raid on a house suspected of holding illegal drugs and what not."
"So basically" Andromeda "you raid the house, find some crack addict guy, go through the rooms and find a little girl whose been abused and mentally scarred and take her into your house hold. Am I correct?"
"Pretty much" Daniel said "Do you happen to be a lawyer of something"
Andromeda smiled "I may be"
"My question is" Olivia said "is how you know of the girl?"
"First I must show you something" Narcissa said and she pulled out her wand, which made Daniel pale slightly. Narcissa eyed him carefully "I'm aware that you have seen this somewhere, must probably on the person of that drug addict?"
Daniel nodded "yes I did, he tried to grab it from me when I took it, and so I snapped it. I just thought he was being loony about a piece of wood, even if it was masterfully crafted."
"As the saying goes" Narcissa said "'seeing is believing'." She then twirled her wand and turned the tea pot into a hamster and levitated it up.
Both of the grangers paled when the saw the midair hamster and were a loss for words.
"How the bloody hell did you do that?" Daniel said who recovered much faster than his wife, who was still in shock.
"Parallel to this world" Andromeda said "is another world, where there are people who can do magic."
"I see" Daniel muttered. "So that's why he was wearing robes and didn't have any modern technology."
"You seem to be pretty open-minded about this" Narcissa said.
Daniel nodded "well today Hermione got in trouble with a bunch of other kids at the playground who said she was able to change the color of the slide from yellow to blue and back when she touched it. I suspected either this generation is going insane, or Hermione could do some sort of 'magic' like thing. I just never imagined that it really did exist"
"Yes, Hermione is a witch like me and my sister but more importantly" Narcissa said "she is our cousin."
"Before you go yelling at us for losing her" Andromeda said, who could see Daniel's face turning red, probably from rage to the fact that his adoptive daughter had living family members, "When our aunt gave birth five years ago, she gave birth first to a boy who we have just found four days ago after a certain incident killed their parents four years ago. An hour later after he was born, the impossible happened and our aunt gave birth again, this time to a girl; however fate found it necessary to allow the baby to be taken from her mother right after birth."
Olivia, who was able to regain her composure before Andromeda's explanation, said "so I'm guessing you wish to take her back"
"Naturally" Narcissa said "it would be best for her to be back with her twin brother, who I dare say doesn't yet know she even exists, and with people like her where weird things like slides changing colors wouldn't make people around her uncomfortable."
"How do we even know you are telling the truth" Olivia said "I mean you could be just trying to take her away from us"
"If we wanted to do that" Narcissa said "I would have turned you into a rat and just of taken her"
"Would you like to see her?" Daniel said "we brought her to her room only about 5 minutes ago, but she never is able to go to sleep right away."
"Yes" Andromeda said "my sister has her papers so she needs to write her name in her blood so that everything is official."
"That's barbaric!" Olivia said "making people write in blood"
"Blood holds magical qualities" Narcissa said "so it's necessary"
"Alright then" Daniel said who got up from his chair "ill bring her down. She doesn't have much stuff except for a couple of stuffed animals and cloths so I'll get those packed while you talk to her"
X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X
A couple of minutes later Daniel walked back into the room, but this time holding onto his hand was a small brown haired girl in a light blue pajama jumpsuit holding a brown teddy bear. Her brown hair was like Andromeda's, except a little wavier and her eyes were a hazel color.
Both of the Black sisters were reminded of not Elizabeth or James by Hermione's appearance, but by their mother, Druella who had the same appearance as the little girl except for the Hazel eyes which obviously came from her father.
"This is Hermione" Daniel said who gestured to the little girl who stood stock still at being stared at by two strangers "I'll get her stuff packed and bring it down"
"Come here Hermione" Olivia said, gesturing to a seat next to her and Andromeda on the couch.
"Would you like me to carry you there?" Daniel asked the girl.
Hermione shook her head "no thank you Mr. Granger" she said "I can make it there." Daniel sighed slightly as Hermione left his grasped and slowly made her way over to the couch. Olivia tried to help her get up next to her, but she again said "no thank you Mrs. Granger, I can get up."
"Well I will get your stuff packed Hermione" Daniel said.
"Thank you Mr. Granger" Hermione said again.
As he left the room, there was a sense of discomfort around it, mostly emanating from Hermione. The way she talked to the Grangers made the two Black sisters think that she had been severely mentally scarred by her early childhood.
"Hello Hermione" Narcissa said sweetly "I'm Narcissa, but you may call me Cissy."
"Hello Ms. Narcissa" Hermione said bowing her head slightly.
"There is no need to be formal" Narcissa said "did Mr. Granger tell you what is going on?"
At this Hermione nodded "yes Ms. Narc… I mean Cissy" she said trying out the nickname "I am a witch, you are my cousin and you are supposed to take me home with you to see my twin brother, who still doesn't know about me"
Narcissa nodded "yes that is correct. But first we need you to make your name official." She then took out the piece of paper from earlier and a blood quill and laid it on the table in front of Hermione. "All you have to do is write your name, fist, middle and last. You can have any first and middle name you want, but the last one needs to be Potter"
"Potter" Hermione said "is that my last name?"
Andromeda nodded "yes it is."
"What was my mother's name?" Hermione asked.
"Elizabeth" Narcissa replied.
"Then my name will be Hermione Elizabeth Potter" Hermione said.
X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X
At around 7:30 Narcissa, Andromeda and Hermione arrived at Grimmauld place.
"I'll have your stuff brought up to your….. Hermione where are you going!" Narcissa said as Hermione began running up the stairs of Grimmauld place.
"Hermione come back here!" Andromeda yelled, but not getting a response the two Black sisters chased after her up the stairs. However when the Black sisters found her, she was in Sirius's room and curled up next to Harry asleep. "How did she know where Harry was?" Andromeda asked.
"Twin magic" Narcissa said "it's a form of soul bond that siblings share just like we have between me, you and Bella, except theirs is more powerful." She then smiled "I guess they really are twins."
The two sisters went over to look at the two children and were slightly taken aback by the fact that Hermione, for the first time they had seen, was actually smiling broadly and relaxing, while Harry seemed to be comforted by her presence. For the first time in either of their lives, the two Potter twins seemed to be complete.
Note-
Well, this was the only way I thought I could incorporate Hermione and Harry together without pairing them, and that was by making them twins. Hate me, love me do whatever but that is how it is.
If I got something wrong with the birth or whatever, please just go with it, I got a 98 in Biology, but that doesn't mean I know jack shit about it. I'm only 15.
I also have a poll up with what Daphne's hair color should be, because I have no bloody idea. So please vote.
I suspect that at around chapter 8-10 will be the start of Hogwarts, but for now im trying to build the basis. Im going to be adding a lot of different forms of magic like necromancy, deamonogolgy, Dracomancy, elemental and all that fun stuff. I really hated how there wasnt all that much different kids of magic in the actual book.
Also with Le-Fay thing, Harry is Morgan, Morgan is Harry. You'll see what i mean.
