"Nothing!" Destiny exclaimed, jumping away from Tom. Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiight" she said, smirking slightly. Despite her trying to hide it, Destiny blushed.
"Nothing happened" Tom spoke up. Then, suddenly, he smirked evilly.
"Things just didn't seem to be cut out for Ms Pensieve" he chuckled as he waltzed out the door. Ginny stood there, confused.
"What does he mean by that?" Ginny asked confused. Destiny bit her lip and looked down. Realisation dawned on Ginny's features.
"Oooh, sweety, 'Mione, no" she said as she gave her a hug. Destiny started to cry softly.
"It's alright 'Mione" Ginny said comfortingly.
"No! It's not! Nothing is; I've ruined everything!" Destiny sobbed.
"How have you ruined everything?" Ginny asked as she pushed a strand of hair behind Destiny's ear.
"I should have never come. I should have never dragged you with me…now we could have ruined everything!" Destiny wailed. Ginny sighed.
"Look 'Mione, Dumbledore told me not to tell you this but… nothing has changed. Everything is just like before except we're not there. Stuff at Hogwarts is the same, cruel, but still the same. Death Eaters are still looking for you but to them, it seems like we've all disappeared of the face of the earth" Ginny finished. Destiny looked up.
"Really? But I still miss everything, I wish I was still Hermione Granger, muggleborn witch" she whispered.
"You can be. Everyone calls you Destiny but it can easily be switched to Hermione, all we have got to to do is say that 'Destiny' is your middle name and that you're taking your mother's maiden name 'Granger' " Ginny replied. Destiny smiled.
"That sounds like a great plan; let's go tell Headmaster- Professor Dumbledore" Destiny said. The two girls got up and walked out of the door, towards Professor Dumbledore's office. Suddenly, Destiny stopped.
"But I'll still be in Slytherin, I hate Slytherin" Destiny exclaimed.
"We'll get you to switch houses with me and Luna, we hate Slytherin too" Ginny replied. Destiny nodded. They reached Dumbledores office and Ginny knocked.
"Professor Dumbledore, we need to talk to you" she called over the knocking. The door swung open and there stood Dumbledore, staring at them with that little twinkle in his eye.
"Ah girls, I've been expecting you" he said warmly as the girls stepped into his office and smiling as an immediate sense of calm washed over them.
"Professor, would it be alright if I change my name back to Hermione Granger?" Destiny asked. They began discussing the plan.
"Alright, so when anyone asks, your middle name was actually Destiny and you have decided to switch it to Hermione and you have decided to take your mother's maiden name 'Granger' as for the switch to Gryffindor, I will allow you but unfortunately, we do not have enough room to accommodate all three of you so I have decided that you will be staying in the cabin outside of the castle, is that alright with you? It looks small but inside it is as big as you want it. So if you want it small, it is small and if you want it big, it's big. Don't worry, once you lock it, nothing, and I mean nothing can open it until the morning. The windows are unbreakable thanks to all of the safety spells. It also has a password that you enter in; it's a different one for each of you so that in case there is an intruder, it will know" Dumbledore finished. The girls nodded in awe.
"We should go get our stuff and get Luna" said Hermione. (A/N: Yes, I am switching to calling Destiny Hermione because frankly, when I think of Destiny, I get a cold feeling like ice but when I think of Hermione, I think of like Christmas and red and red shops and etc…I don't want to scare you with my messed up mind XP)
"Oh yes, Luna, she is with someone who you will be shocked to discover is…well, I'll let you discover it yourselves" Dumbledore winked at them as he ushered them out of the door, his eyes twinkling with secret amusement. The girls shared confused looks as they made their way back towards the dungeons, to collect their stuff from the Slytherin rooms.
