A/N: Hi again! Just so you, the reader knows, this is part of the story I entirely made up. There was no fifth house in Harry Potter…I thought that Hannah should have a little adventure that isn't Harry's. So, here's chapter 10! And as always, reviews are loved! Enjoy!

Chapter 10

The Discovery of the fifth house

The next morning I woke to Monique smiling down on me.

"Um…hi?" I said confused as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"MORNING!" Monique yelled "What are you planning on wearing today?" she asked, digging through my trunk.

"Um…I don't know…" I said getting out of bed "I guess a pair of jeans and a T-shirt?"

Monique gaped at me "No way! You look like a boy in those! Wear a skirt!" she ordered, taking out another horrid piece of fabric.

"Monique…" I started, rolling my eyes and grabbing my hairbrush "I'm flattered that you care about how I look, but on a weekend…I really don't give a crap about what I wear as long as I'm not nude."

Monique groaned and took the hairbrush out of my hands "Well, at least let me do your hair up. I mean, ok, weekends you can wear jeans…but you can't just parade around school looking like a boy!"

"Oh, god, shoot me now!" I mumbled as Monique dragged the brush through my black hair.

"Oh, Han! Stop being such a baby!" Monique ordered, trying to pull my hair into a…horrid pink ribbon.

One thing people don't know about me…I absolutely positively loathe the colour pink!

I was saved by the bell by Ivy walking into the dormitory.

Monique blanched when she saw that Ivy was nowhere near the girly expectations she had. Her blouse was undone and she was wearing blue jeans.

"IVY!" I screeched "First off, what are you doing in here? And second, help me! Clearwater's trying to get me in a pink ribbon!"

At breakfast I found out I had permission to visit the Gryffindor Common Room whenever I liked.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well," Professor Snape explained "You and your twin are a special pair. Mr Potter has McGonagall's permission to visit your common room also. Now go and do whatever a first year does."

I ran outside near Hagrid's hut and found Ivy there waiting for me.

"Hey! Guess what?" I asked getting out my Herbology notes.

"What?"

"I can come into your guys' common room now! I'm coming to visit!"

"NO WAY!"

"Yeah way. I'll come up with you when we're done studying."

We sat down at a tree and looked through the book at plants Professor Sprout had us take care of.

"So what is this one?" Ivy said pointing to a flower with five petals.

"Isn't that…oh, what's it called? Oh yeah…Nightshade?"

At my words the tree opened up behind us and we fell through it. I screamed and tried to catch my balance but I couldn't. I wound up falling into the roots.

But I didn't find dirt in the bottom of the tree. In fact, where me and Ivy were looked a lot like…a common room.

"Where are we?" Ivy asked.

"I don't know, but something tells me someone lives here." I pulled out my wand "Hello? Is anyone…home?"

There wasn't a noise.

"Ok, let's explore!" I suggested poking through some seemingly old books.

I started for the closet and opened the door. I screamed.

"What?" Ivy asked wand drawn.

"There's a skeleton in here!" I shrieked pointing to the mass of bones on the floor.

Ivy bent down "Hannah, you aren't going to believe this."

"What?"

She looked up at me and held out a bloody knife "It's a dagger. With Slytherin's emblem on it. Hannah, I think Slytherin murdered this person."

"No, really Ivy?" I asked sarcastically "I would have never guessed what with the blood on the blade. No, I was thinking that Slytherin had went for an ice cream at Florean Fortescue's and skipped merrily through a field of wild posies back to the castle."

"First, I could do without the Slytherin Sarcasm. And two who is this skeleton? Let's keep looking around."

After a few minutes of poking around, Ivy came across something.

"HANNAH! I think I found who it is."

I ran up to her side, next to a portrait of five people, three girls, two boys. The girls were close together and hugging, but the boys seemed to be arguing. The white haired girl in the middle seemed frightened, with purple eyes wide at first the goateed man, then at the handsome youth. The goateed man held the same dagger that was in my hands now.

"Ivy, I think these are the founders of Hogwarts. See the dagger that Slytherin's holding? It's just like this one. And maybe…the girl here was the skeleton in the closet."

Ivy read the plaque "The Founders Five: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Nightshade? Hannah, this was probably supposed to be a fifth house for Hogwarts, look at all the purple and black. These must be house-"

Before Ivy could finish her sentence, someone hissed in the shadows "Get…out…fast!"

"Let's see what else is here." I said walking up the stairs to the dormitories.

I went into a dorm that looked too fancy to be for a set of students, and found a translucent woman floating on the bed.

"You!" she screamed as Ivy ran in "You killed me!

I looked at her confused, I never met this woman, how was I either going to kill her?

"Look, whoever you are…" I started.

"My name is Lucida Nightshade."

"Ok, Lucinda. How the hell could I have killed you when I wasn't even born when you were killed?"

"You have Salazar's colours on. And you are holding his dagger."

"Oh, this?" I asked, not noticing I was still holding the dagger "I just found it."

"Be warned, Hannah Potter…"

"Wait, how do you know Hannah's name?" Ivy asked.

"Even though I've lived up here for five hundred years, your name, Hannah Potter, still reached my ears when the Dark Lord was destroyed. But heed my warning! Leave now, take this." she caused a leather book covered in blood to fall into my hands "and leave. Quickly!"

Ivy and I climbed out of the place as confused as ever.

"So, are you coming to the common room?"

"Yeah, I guess I will."

Ivy and I walked over to Gryffindor Tower, which was guarded by a Fat Lady and sat in the two places closest to the fire.

"So…let's read this diary." I said opening the very first page "Dear Diary,

Salazar and Godric had a very good idea today. We got to talking about it with Helga and Rowena. We thought we could teach younger witches and wizards how to be amazing when they were a little older. So we decided to open a school in a castle Godric had found. Rowena didn't know what to name it, so it passes unanimously that I was to name it. I came up with…Hogwarts."

"So Nightshade came up with the school name!" Ivy said in delight.

"Let me read some more…this crap is all about the first generation of student- here we go! Some dirt on the tension between the founders! Dear Diary,

Godric said something I couldn't believe today. He told me he loved me. I've had feelings for him for quite awhile. But being with Salazar kept me from admitting them. He would find it most unfaithful of me to proclaim my love for his best friend. But I never told Salazar that I was born amongst Muggles, that I myself was what Salazar calls a "Blood of Mud"

"So that's where the term 'Mudblood' comes from!" Ivy said.

"What is a Mudblood anyway?" I asked.

"It's a witch or wizard born amongst non magic people, Muggles. It's very offensive. That's why me and Ron went after Crabbe when he called you a Mudblood."

"Oh."

"And this is obviously where the term comes from!"

"Ivy, shut up! It's getting good." I said

"I had told Godric this, since he would never judge a person on their blood, but on their character. I told him I never told my beloved Salazar. Godric swayed me into falling out of love with him. Now I am torn most deeply dear diary! Who do I choose? My childhood lover…or my childhood friend?"

"So…Nightshade fell in love with Gryffindor and Slytherin. Interesting." Ivy said.

"This Ivy is even more interesting. Here's one of the last ones. Dear Diary,

I have done the worst thing imaginable this day. I have made love with Godric. Now I fear I may be bearing his child. I have since left Salazar, fearing he will go on a rampage if he did. I am terrified for my family's life. I realized today I was in true love with Godric…and Salazar just loved my looks."

It was night time by the time we were done looking through all of the entries. I bid good night to Ivy, promising to meet up with her sometime to meet up with her and look up the founders in the library. and went to my common room, where a pleasing sight awaited me.

"Hello, Draco." I said.

"Hi." Draco said from the couch on the fire, rain beginning to pour outside.

"What are you doing up?" I asked.

"Waiting for you."

"Aw." I said sitting next to him on the couch "Aren't you the gentleman."

"Yeah, I'm pretty gentlemanly."

"Gee, you think?" I asked sarcastically.

"Shut up." Malfoy said gently pushing my head to the side.

"So…what did you guys get up to?"

"Nothing much, studied for Herbology, went pranking on Longbottom. You?"

"Follow me." I said getting up "I'll show you what I've been up to."

"Where are we going past curfew?"

"Same place as last time we broke curfew. Down by the Forbidden Forest. Follow me."

I grabbed Draco's hand and ran out of the school, thankfully unflawed until we were back by Hagrid's shack.

"The tree opened when I said Nightshade." I explained.

Just as I did, the trapdoor opened revealing the slide.

"Go down." I said.

"No way! What if there are cobwebs? I don't want to get my robes dirty."

"Oh, grow up." I said pushing him in.

"HANNAH!" Draco yelled, his voice fading as he entered the tree.

"I'm coming!" I said jumping into the hole.

"AWESOME!" I yelled as I slid back into the roots, landing on something soft.

"Well, at least I landed on something soft this time." I said.

"Yes, you did." Draco said "And that something is me! GET OFF!" he added pushing me onto my back.

"Where the blazes are we?"

"I think this was supposed to be a fifth house of Hogwarts. I mean, look at the purple and black! House colours. And Ivy and I found this." I pointed over by the bookshelf where the founders portrait was hung. "Last time I checked, Nightshade wasn't a house in Hogwarts. And…" I opened the closet, revealing Nightshade's skeleton. "We found this with this dagger…" I pulled out the dagger from my pocket "in the chest."

"Wow…"

"And…" I took him by the hand and led him up to the dormitories "we found the ghost of that girl in the portrait up here, and she has a vendetta against Slytherins because the house's founder killed her. Look at the dagger. The Slytherin crest is on the hilt."

At that moment, the ghost floated over to us.

"You!" she screamed "What are you doing out of bed? And why did you come back?"

"I wanted answers, Nightshade." I said "On what happened the day you died."

"Oh, it was dreadful." Nightshade wailed "I was writing in my diary, like any normal day, when Slytherin snuck up behind me and grabbed me. I screamed and asked what he was doing here and he said 'I know about you sleeping with Godric, and the child…and you're a Blood of Mud. So I am going to kill you.' I screamed and tried to fight him off, but he dragged me to the common room and stabbed me repeatedly with that dagger of yours." she nodded to the dagger in my hand "Then, when I screamed for the pain to stop, I felt one more stab right through my heart, and I saw blackness. Then later, I came around as a ghost."

"Wow." me and Draco said together.

"You must go." Nightshade said "And don't tell anyone of what I've told you. I hope to see you soon, Ms Potter."

"Yes, likewise." I said starting to climb up the stairs I had found out of the tree the first time I was in.
