Well, I'm over my whole emo phase-ness. So probably no more death till the end-ish of the story. Anyway, sry it took so long. TO THE STORY!!!
Hermione was a wreck after Ron's death. If classes hadn't been cancelled she wouldn't have gone anyway. She hadn't left the common room since. Harry had gone down to the kitchens to ask Dobby to bring food up to her at mealtimes so she wouldn't starve. She would give Harry the map back either. She just stared at the spot where Ron's dot had vanished. Harry was so worried about her. The gleam that normally sparkled in her eyes was gone. They were dull and unfocused. It had been this way for weeks. And there were still 3 weeks left before the school closed. But no matter what anyone said, Hermione didn't answer or move.
Harry woke with a start. He looked all around him, his eyes coming to a rest on Ron's bed. He could see Ron sleeping, the blankets steadily rising and falling as he breathed. Hear his slow deep snoring, nothing unusually going on. Wait, he could see Ron sleeping?? How was that possible? Ron was dead. Harry got up and walked over to his supposedly deceased friend's bed. He pulled the covers back some and sure enough it was Ron. What was going on here? He went to his trunk and dug through it, the Marauders map was at the bottom, right where it should have been, if Hermione hadn't been holding it for the past few weeks. He went downstairs, and over to Hormone's chair. It was empty. He was so confused, he decided to go back to bed and think about it in the morning. When Harry awoke, he had no remembrance of the night before, nor of the dream where Ron was dead. He sat up, and said good morning to Ron as usual. They dressed and went downstairs together. "Harry!" Someone yelled across the common room. Harry turned to see Hermione rushing towards him.
"Hey Hermione." He said.
"Harry your never going to believe this. Lupin just mirrored, he said someone in Hogsmeade saw a large convergence of Death Eater's in the Hogs Head. He said there going to attack the castle." Harry's eyes flashed; suddenly he remembered the horrible nightmare. He glanced at Ron. Hermione noticed, but he gave her a look that said quite clearly 'shut up' so she didn't mention it. Later, after Ron had gone to breakfast, he told her about his dream. "Ron was dead?!" She asked incredulously.
"Yes, he was dead. We can't let that happen." Suddenly there was a noise like a bomb exploding in the common room. Ron appeared. The DE's had just obliterated the sealed oak front doors. The battle had begun. "DOBBY" Harry shouted. Dobby appeared. "We need a shield, then go to the other common rooms and-" He was cut off by the portrait hole exploding inward. Draco Malfoy stood in the hole. The trio started, Dobby was the first to react though, sending a curse at the younger Malfoy. He jumped to the side. By this time however, the other three had magically brought all the furniture in the room in front of them, creating a sort of bunker. "Dobby, go to the other common rooms and shield them, NOW!" Harry yelled as a whip cracked. He, Ron, and Hermione traded shots with both Malfoys and Severus Snape. Harry aimed mostly at Snape, while Ron shot at Lucius, and Hermione at Draco. Suddenly, there was a roar from behind the other three, and the ENTIRE Order rounded the corner, firing about 20 spells a piece in about 50 seconds. Snape and the Malfoys were down instantly. Harry went over to talk with Lupin. Soon Auras arrived to take them away.
The next morning, at breakfast the talk was all about one thing, or rather, one person. The new girl. There were whispers of where she came from. The most prominent of which said she came from Africa. She was very light skinned however, so most simply dismissed this due to there stereotyping. However, no one knew for sure, but they would likely never find out either, Professor McGonnegel stood, and addressed the hall.
"As you can see, we have a new student with us this year. She has come a long journey, and I should hope you will all," she paused to glance, quite obviously, at the Slytherin table, then continued "Treat her with extreme respect, and not act like the goofy backwards children you all seem to be." She turned, and motioned to the new girl to step forward. "She shall now be sorted into her house, and then we shall continue with breakfast." But before the sorting hat had even touched her head, it had shouted "Gryffindor" At the top of its voice. She came towards the table and made a line for the seat next to Harry.
"Hello Harry." She said plopping down as if shed known him forever. "You don't remember me do you?" She asked calmly. Harry could only stare somewhat dumbstruck. "No Id expect not. We meet before your parents died." She said, startling even Hermione. "Harry, my name is Alyss. I'm your older sister." Ron and Hermione glanced at each other, with looks that said plainly, 'about time.'
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Alyss all went into the Room of Requirement to talk. For Harry, it was simply sitting, listening, then gasping. Ron, Hermione, and Alyss seemed to know each other, and Harry had wondered why, but he found out.
"Harry, Ron and I were sent to Hogwarts with you to watch over you." Hermione said. "We were meant to keep you safe and to make sure you learned everything. Harry, were not witch and wizard, we're scions." Harry's face made it obvious he had no clue what she was talking about. "Harry, we live forever, and know everything that's going to happen on earth. We don't die of natural causes, but a spell or curse can kill us. We're the last of our kind." Hermione said. Harry was still fairly lost. And up till now, Alyss hadn't said anything, but at Hermione's words, she spoke.
"No, we are the last." Hermione's head whipped around.
"WHAT?!" She said quite loudly.
"I blocked my existence from your minds. I couldn't allow any possibility that I be found. Harry, you must listen to what I am going to tell you. This is more important then ANYTHING the Dumbledore has ever told you and anything you've ever done. Voldemort is your brother. Well, half brother. As you hopefully have realized by now, you are descended from Godric himself, and Voldemort of Slytherin. However, what you haven't found out, is that the two families were intertwined. If you remember, Slytherin and Gryffindor were the best of friends, the kind of friends who could only have been brothers. That's why Voldemort's powers rubbed off on you. You already had the gifts, but they needed quickening, or awakening. Voldemort's spell did this, which is why you can see things from multiple perspectives. You are also a seer, but Voldemort didn't quicken that power. I'm here for a simple reason. You alone, and that includes Ron and Hermione, can never defeat Voldemort. This is why I am here. I am meant to train you in the old ways. You also have Scion blood in you. This is half the reason Voldemort didn't kill you. He would have, but, and you know this, your mothers love created a protection for you. I came to teach you, and to prepare you. Because when you kill Voldemort, the parts of you that he quickened will die with him. And it will feel horrible if you don't learn to remove your self from your emotions and physical feelings." She stood. "Be here tomorrow at 9 am. The other teachers are already aware of what is going on. You three shall not be missed at lessons.
Okay I know this chapter is short, but I couldn't find a way to add the next section without it seeming weird. So her you go. R&R.
