"Hey! Slytherin girl! Granger!"
Hermione looked over her shoulder and she saw a 7th Year Ravenclaw.
"… Do I know you?"
The boy grinned, "Note from Dumbles."
He gave her a roll of parchment and went off.
She frowned and unrolled.
It read:
Dear Hermione,
I would like you to come to my office now. Don't worry, I've informed Professor Snape about your absence.
Albus Dumbledore
P.S. I like Sherbet Lemons
Hermione smiled slightly and changed her direction.
*Potions…*
"Potter, why are you late?!" Snape growled.
Harry looked around him.
Everyone was just coming in.
"Uh-"
"Professor Snape…" A voice cut in.
The man glared at the person who interrupted, "What?"
Daphne smiled, "Professor Dumbledore told me to tell you that he would be keeping Hermione in his office for the time being. He said it was very important."
Snape's eyes narrowed.
Damn! I can't make her suffer…
"Very well. Greengrass, take 15 points for Slytherin."
Daphne smiled wider and said, "Thank you, Professor."
He just ignored her.
*Dumble's office…*
"Professor?" Hermione called.
"Come in! Come in!"
Hermione went into the office and sat down, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Hermione, you will need to leave Hogwarts."
"WHAT?!"
Dumbledore looked at his granddaughter over his glasses, "When you turn 17, the glamour charm that Helen placed on you will disappear."
Hermione's eyes watered slightly, "What will happen to me while I'm gone?"
"You will meet your parents and learn… About your new powers."
Hermione's lip quivered slightly, "But… What about my friends?..."
Dumbledore sighed, "This will be painful for you, but you must let go of them. Then return as Hermione Roxanne Ravenclaw."
Hermione was silent for a moment, "Was Roxanne the name that my mother gave me?"
Dumbledore nodded, "Now… You must depart from school. Say goodbye to your friends… Then come back to my office. I will show you – personally – your new home."
Hermione blinked, "Very well…"
Then she left the office.
*Slytherin Common Room…*
"WHAT?! YOU'RE LEAVING?!"
Hermione collapsed on a plush silver sofa, "I have to."
Daphne began to hyperventilate, "But… You have to go shopping with me! You-you can't just leave me!"
Pansy's eyes watered, "If you must, I'll miss you… Thank you for everything you've done for me."
Daphne was still muttering, "My grades! My love life! New spells! My friends! My-"
Hermione said irritably, "Shut up, Daph!"
Draco stared at the girl sitting on front of him.
Hermione… Leaving?
Hermione glanced at Draco, "You're silent. I'd thought that you'd be secretly crying in the corner."
Draco blinked twice, "Why are you leaving?"
"… Family reasons."
"And for how long are you leaving?" Theodore asked.
"Will we meet you again?" Blaise murmured softly.
"… Forever. I'm leaving Hogwarts. When I settle, I'll send someone from there and tell them to tell you." Hermione told them, her eyes brimming with tiny beads of tears.
*Gryffindor Common Room…*
"You're leaving." Harry said.
"You're friggin leaving?!" Ron yelled.
"You're… Leaving." Ginny murmured.
Hermione shed a tear, "Yes… Harry, Ron, Ginny?"
The three that were called said, "Yes?"
"Just remember… I love you guys. I think of you guys as family, but I can't talk or meet you guys again."
*Dumble's office…*
"Are you packed? Are you sure you'll be safe?"
Hermione nodded, "Yes, Professor McGonagall."
Dumbledore smiled at the Deputy Headmistress, "I'll see you later, Minerva."
Then Hermione took his arm and they Apparated.
*Parents' home…*
"Albus, is that you?"
Dumbledore's eyes crinkled as he smiled, "Helen! It's very nice to see you looking healthy!"
Helen Ravenclaw smiled.
She was an absolute beauty.
People called her the reincarnation of Rowena Ravenclaw herself because they looked so similar.
The same honey-blond waves, the same ice-blue eyes, the same face and the same personality.
Hermione smiled nervously at her birthmother, "Hi?"
"Oh, Roxanne." Helen said sadly, "Forgive me for not letting you know me… It was for your safety."
Hermione said apologetically, "It's Hermione… Where is my father, anyway?"
Helen smiled, "Andel will be here soon."
*Fast forwarding because I'm lazy… 7th Year…*
"I wonder how Hermione is." Daphne said to Pansy.
"She hasn't sent the person yet…" Pansy muttered worriedly.
She glanced at Draco.
Draco Malfoy was not the same person as last year.
Everything about him that made him unique was gone.
His platinum blond hair was now just a dull sheet of silver.
His eyes dimmed into dark stormy clouds when before, they were light quicksilver.
He lost weight and looked very unhealthy.
And it began when Hermione left.
Pansy sighed, "Draco? Are you ok?"
Draco looked up and shook his head, staring out of the window.
He remembered the summer before he came back to school.
*Flashback…*
"YOU IDIOT BOY!"
That was one of the insults Draco had to get used to from his father.
"You don't deserve the name Malfoy, you bast-"
"Lucius! Don't you dare speak to my son like that!" Narcissa snapped.
Lucius glared at his wife, "Then why did that mudblooded pureblood bit-"
"Watch your tongue, Lucius Malfoy! I will not tolerate rude words in my house!"
Draco said softly, "Father… I believe that she was my soul mate."
*End…*
*Harry's compartment…*
Ginny smiled at the boy next to her.
She was still hooked up with Blaise.
After a record-breaking 13 months and 29 days, the next day was going to be their anniversary.
Harry gagged as the two people in front of him began to kiss.
Ron looked away and said, "When will we get a girlfriend?"
Harry shrugged, "I think Luna's hinting that she wants to be my girlfriend…"
Ron sighed, "Lavender's being a bitch and keeps 'subtly' hinting that she wants to make out with me. But Pansy…"
Harry chuckled at his friend, "Don't give me any details."
*Great Hall…*
"Let me welcome all of you to another year at Hogwarts. But before I start the Sorting, I would like to have a speech-"
Suddenly the doors slammed open.
Tap…
Tap...
Tap…
Each step rang through the hall.
"Ah yes, here she is! Everyone, please welcome our new student… Hermione Roxanne Ravenclaw." Dumbledore said warmly.
The girl lifted her eyes and looked around herself.
She had long, silky bronze hair, sharp ice-blue eyes, a beautiful face and perfect body.
"Thank you, Professor, but please call me Roxanne." She sang in a melodic voice.
Dumbledore smiled at his granddaughter, "Please, put on the Hat?"
Roxanne smiled eerily, "I would like to be put in Slytherin."
There was shocked silence.
Someone… Wanted to be put in Slytherin?!
A Ravenclaw wanted to be a part of friggin SLYTHERIN?!
"Very well then. Please give a hand to the courage that our new student has shown to enter a house…"
Roxanne glided to the Slytherin table and sat down next to Daphne.
"Hermione Granger wanted me to tell you that she is very happy where she is and would like to tell you that she really misses you." She said.
Daphne and Pansy's eyes lit up, "She does?"
Draco stared at the girl on front of him.
Why does she remind me of Hermione?
"Hey, newbie! You know, all new Slytherins have to go through a initiation test?" Theodore said smoothly.
Roxanne smirked, "Yes, and I know that you made Hermione curse a teacher's seat so that every time she sat down, it made a farting noise. But she managed to make Marcus Flint sit down on it instead.
"And you, Theodore Nott, has had a 'fling' with Daphne and that relationship has lasted for around 4 years. You read books that include horrors and will never read a book that has a wizard in it."
Theodore's eyes darkened for a moment, "How do you know?"
Roxanne smiled tauntingly, "Why would you care?"
"Do you think I'm scared of you?" He asked coldly.
"No… But you should be…" Roxanne said sadly, "We must leave this conversation now. The start of term feast has started…"
Theodore glared at the new girl and viciously hacked at some random meat dish he took.
Daphne and Pansy were watching Roxanne, awed and frightened by her.
Draco was trying to figure out his new attraction to the mysterious Hermione Roxanne.
Roxanne poked at her food and sighed.
I never thought that coming back into Hogwarts would be this hard.
