Chapter 10: The Rosier Heiress

The next day started out alright, however they had double charms in the afternoon. For some reason Weasley was paired with Hermione for the task of levitating the feather. Professor Flitwhick had assigned the pairs forcing Hermione with the incompetent Ron while Rose was forced to work with Lavender Brown. Lavender said the words then repetitively waved her wand at the feather to no avail, Rose rolled her eyes at the stupidity of the Gryffindor she was forced to work with and didn't bother helping her, instead she just quickly did the charm.

"Stop, Stop, Stop! You're going to take an eye out. Plus, your saying it wrong, it's Le-vi-O-sa. Not Leviosar, please get your pronunciation correct."

After they finished class Ron was talking loudly with Seamus and Lavender.

"It's Le-vi-O-sa, not Leviosar. She's a nightmare honestly, I don't know how the Slytherin's put up with her. Maybe she's their personal whore, good for nothing Mudblood. If I had my way she'd be on her knees every night, bet you she's on her knees in that dungeon of slimy snakes," Ron sneered, Hermione had heard him and she quickened her speed, brushing past Rose and Daphne.

Rose sent a glare at Ron and went to go after Hermione who told her not to worry about it and insisted that Rose go to her next class without her. Rose didn't like the idea but she respected her friends wishes. In that next class, it was Defence Against the Dark Arts and Quirrel had them practicing stinging hexes. Safe to say that many Slytherin hexes accidentally 'missed' their targets and hit Ron Weasley during class. The Weasley boy complained loudly while the Slytherin's acted innocent saying that they must've messed up the incantation.

Rose became more increasingly worried when Hermione didn't show up for dinner, she understood that her friend wouldn't come to their last class after the incident in charms but she wouldn't have missed dinner. She was about to ask if anyone had heard from or seen Hermione around. None of the Slytherin's had recalled seeing her in the Library or the common room and Tracy hadn't seen her in their room before dinner.

"Troll in the dungeon! There's a troll in the Dungeons! Thought you ought to know," Professor Quirrel ran in shouting before he fainted.

The whole room erupted into fearful cries while Rose got up instantly and ran out of the hall with Daphne, Draco and Blaise following her. Rose headed towards the bathroom where she had talked to Hermione earlier only to hear the girl scream as she got close. She whipped out both of her wands and the others followed as they sprinted in time to see the troll taking shots at Hermione.

"Sectumsempra!" Rose shouted, her spell bounced off the Troll's magically resistant hide but it did cause its attention to turn to Rose.

Daphne, Blaise and Draco started firing off spells which bounced off of the troll but served to anger it more. Rose dived under the Troll's swinging club and slid across the ground and in front of Hermione.

"Are you okay?" Rose shouted at Hermione.

"Better now you're here," Hermione shouted.

"Everyone back up!" Rose shouted.

Draco and Blaise moved back. "Don't do it Rose!" Daphne shouted but was pulled back to a safe distance by the two boys.

"Sorry Daphne but there's only one way to deal with this thing. Physically," Rose pushed Hermione back behind her then ran forward.

As she leapt into the air at the angry troll she thought about her Dragon. 'We are one' she repeated in her head. First her eyes turned yellow, then her body shifted. The once four-foot girl had changed into a fully grown Hungarian Horntail. Rose's maw clamped around the left arm of the troll and she completely tore it off of its body causing the troll to roar in pain. Rose then used her barbed tail to slam the troll into the wall and impaled its legs before she latched her mouth around its head and bit down violently. Blood spurted everywhere as Rose tore the head of the troll from its body and dropped it on the ground leaving the trolls dismembered body on the ground, blood oozing from where limbs and its head used to be.

Draco, Blaise and Hermione were standing there with their mouths wide open. Rose shifted back into her human form, her mouth and clothes were covered in troll blood. Daphne sighed and went over to see if Hermione had sustained any injuries.

"No one speaks of what just happened until its safe for us," Rose said sternly, Draco and Blaise nodded while Hermione was still in shock.

The sound of running footsteps could be heard as Professor Snape, McGonagall, a revived Quirrel and Dumbledore all arrived on the scene.

"Miss Potter, what happened?" Snape asked sternly, trying to ignore the blood on his god daughter's mouth.

"The troll was not in the dungeons. It was already attacking Hermione, we attacked it to get it off of her. Then Rose cast a strong Sectumsempra spell at the troll and got past its hide," Draco explained quickly.

"You can't tell me a single girl killed a fully-grown mountain troll," Professor McGonagall said in disbelief.

"It doesn't matter what occurred to result in the tragic death of the troll, Professor McGonagall, it is good that none of the students got hurt. Perhaps you should all see Madam Pomfrey and get checked up," Dumbledore suggested with the grandfatherly twinkle in his eye which annoyed Rose to no end.

"I'll take them myself, after all they are my snakes," Snape said as he began to lead them.

"Miss Potter, what is that on your mouth?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Troll Blood."

After the incident with the Troll they were checked out by Madam Pomfrey who scolded them on the dangers of facing a fully-grown mountain troll as first year students. Once they had been checked over and cleaned they were released back to the Slytherin common room where the entire Slytherin group interrogated them about where they ran off to and asked if rumors were true that they had gone after the Troll.

Once their curiosity was satisfied, Severus pulled them aside and gave them a stern talking before asking Rose how she did it. She gestured for the others to give her space and she used expansion charms on the room before she changed into her dragon form which caused Severus to faint dropping on the ground with a 'Bang' much to the amusement of everyone in the room.

Once he was revived he instructed that no one was to know unless absolutely necessary which Rose wholeheartedly agreed upon. The group then went to their dorms where Tracy was waiting with questions of her own. She then proceeded to mother Hermione and check her for any damage, much to the chagrin of the three while Daphne and Rose made themselves comfortable on the couch in their room. Hermione had to roll her eyes and assure mama hen Tracy that she was alright.

There was excitement all throughout the castle as it was quickly coming to Yuletide celebrations for the dark families, muggle Christmas for the light families and Hermione who wouldn't stop talking about Christmas. Rose was amused at Hermione because she had been taking so many pureblood lessons from the girls but somehow she still held onto her muggle upbringing.

"I bet you Weasley's staying at the castle this Yuletide, heard his parents are heading to Romania to visit their older brother Charlie who works with dragons," Draco whispered at dinner the night before they were to be picked up.

"Bet you 50 galleons that his mother had to make him something because all of the Weasley's are poor. Which reminds me, why did you decide to give presents to the twins and everyone in our studying group?" Daphne looked at Rose with curiosity.

"They deserve something nice, besides I'm sure it'll make the Weasley git absolutely furious."

It had been a month and a half since the incident on Halloween and her main group (consisting of Rose, Daphne, Hermione, Draco, Blaise, Tracy, Susan, Neville and Tracy) had accepted Rose's explanation and had even been allowed into the Library by Rowena. Hermione couldn't stop talking to the founder when she was there much to the amusement of Rose, Draco, Blaise and Daphne. They had been informed that their futures were closely linked to Rose's which was the only reason that they were allowed into her Library and only ever with Rose present. They couldn't even access the library without her there to begin with.

Rose and Daphne had been inside the mirror of erised a total of eight times including Rose's first to gain their Animagus forms. Both Rose and Daphne had a wolf, however Rose's was the largest and the Alpha of the pack, Daphne's main animal form was her wolf as she was close to the earth as a studying potions expert. While Rose had a Hungarian Horntail, Daphne had a green earth dragon as her form, it was smaller than the Horntail and its scales were fairy tale classic emerald green so it could camouflage in the green forests and valleys along with matching green eyes. Her water form was that of a sea serpent which was the quicker cousin of Rose's king Hydra form which had several heads and was as large as the horntail only its venom was poisonous. The final form for Rose was her thunderbird form which was her second strongest due to her connection with lightning and fire. Whereas Daphne's air form was that of an Australian Wedged Tail Eagle; an excellent predator and swift flier.

Surprisingly Rowena also guided Blaise, Draco and Hermione into the mirror and allowed them to gain their first animal forms before they read the book. Now to gain the rest of them, they all had to read the lore as well as connect with their inner animals properly as they were not naturals like Rose and Daphne were. However, they all decided that their forms were on a need to know basis.

It was at breakfast that Lucius Malfoy along with Auror Tonks and Black stormed in with Minister Fudge. Dumbledore was quite surprised by their appearance so he stood up to greet them.

"Ah, Mr. Malfoy, Minister Fudge. How may I help you?" Dumbledore asked, the students were whispering among themselves.

"I'm afraid I'm not here for a social call, some evidence has come into light regarding two specific students here that Mr. Malfoy made me aware of. Therefore, we are here to collect the required parties by order of the Wizengamot," Minister Fudge said.

"Which students are you talking about Cornelius?" Dumbledore said passively.

"One Miss Hermione Granger and the other is Miss Rosalie Potter. My Aurors are here to escort them out, Mr. Malfoy is also here to pick up his son Draco as well as Miss Daphne Greengrass. Children, why don't you go and get your trunks, we leave immediately," Minister Fudge said.

Taking their cue, Rose, Hermione, Daphne and Draco all went to do as told. Daphne said she'd explain later to Tracy and Draco said to Blaise that they'd see him soon. Hermione on the other hand was completely confused about what was going on. She was supposed to go on the Hogwarts express back to Kings Cross Station where her parents would pick her up.

"Now, as both Miss Granger and Miss Potter's magical guardian I believe I have a right to know what is going on Cornelius," Dumbledore stood up.

"That would be true if you were the Magical Guardian of both girls. Now Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't suppose you want an enquiry to be made by the board as to your actions for the past few years. What might be uncovered could jeopardize your employment as head of Hogwarts as well as other positions that you old," Lucius snapped.

"Are you threatening him Mr. Malfoy?" Professor McGonagall shrieked.

"On the contrary, I am merely reminding him that as a member of the board, I can start a full-scale enquiry as to the happenings of the school. Say, about the incident on Halloween that put my SON in danger," Lucius said and Professor McGonagall shut up.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked as they pulled their trunks to outside the great hall.

"Official business, need to know basis only. You'll find out why when we arrive at our destination," Tonks said as she shrunk Hermione's trunk and put it in her pocket.

"Had a good time at school Rosie?" Bellatrix asked as she greeted her soul mate with a hug, kissing would be later.

"I have had an interesting time, and don't think I haven't forgotten the fiasco weeks ago. I'm not sleeping with you for the first week," Rose said, Bellatrix complained and was immediately trying to talk Rose out of her punishment to no avail and Tonks laughed at her partner's misfortune.

"Come along we've got a tight schedule to keep," Lucius said.

Tonks held her hand out for Hermione while Bellatrix held her hand out for Rose who took it. Draco took his father's hand while Daphne resulted to taking the Minister's arm and they side-long apparated. When they arrived at their destination, Rose was on her back on the ground grumbling about how much she hated travelling through wizard means. Draco allowed himself to laugh only to be punched in the side by Rose when she got up earning an 'ow' from said boy.

"Daphne! Rose!" The voice of Anastasia Greengrass rang out across the hall and the two were quickly pulled into a hug from the blonde woman. Bellatrix laughed at the two being hugged only for Anastasia to somehow grab her and pull her into a hug as well which cause additional giggles from the two girls.

"Well my part is done Lucius, I shall see you in the Wizengamot session that Dumbledore is sure to call after what you've released to us," Minister Fudge said and Lucius voiced his thanks to which Cornelius nodded and left.

"Aren't you two supposed to go with him as his guards?" Hermione asked.

"We weren't really on duty, Lucius just told us to come with him and Fudge to give the appearance," Tonks shrugged as she kicked back.

"Miss Greengrass, Senior Manager Ragnok is ready for you and has everything prepared," a goblin said and Hermione realized they were in Gringrotts.

"What are we doing at Gringrotts?" Hermione asked confused.

"You must be Hermione? My you look just like Maria, although you have your father's eyes," Anastasia said finally getting a look at Hermione properly.

"Excuse me?" Hermione asked.

"Come, we shouldn't keep the Senior Manager waiting," Lucius said.

They walked through the halls and into the head office where Senior Manager Ragnok was sitting at a desk with three separate stacks of paper as well as a goblet and a runic blade. He squared up the stack of papers he was looking through before addressing Rose and the people that were with her.

"Miss Potter, you never cease to keep me busy," Ragnok smiled.

"Good to see you again Senior Manager Ragnok," Rose said in Gobbledygook in which Ragnok nodded his head pleased that Rose knows his language.

"You too, now Miss Potter I have these stacks of paper for you to go through. The first is the complete audit of your accounts, the second is what's been missing, presumably taken by Dumbledore when he had help from manager Griphook, you'll find that it was only the Potter trust fund that was stolen from. The third stack is everything that Dumbledore had tried to attempt, including calling in the Weasley favor on your behalf to try and reign in the twins Fred Weasley and George Weasley. They are copies for you to take with you and discuss with your... company," Ragnok said giving her a wink.

"Thank you very much," Rose replied.

"Now, I believe we have a full DNA test to perform on one Hermione?" Ragnok said looking at their bushy brown haired friend.

"Uh... Why do I need one? Professor Dumbledore said it wasn't necessary as I'm a Muggle born witch," Hermione stated.

"Muggle born or not, everyone's DNA must be recorded in Gringrotts for their accounts to be created. It is a crime to not have a magical person, muggle born or not, not take this test," Ragnok explained.

"You may even learn something about yourself that you didn't know before," Ragnok said thoughtfully as he gestured for Hermione to step up to the table.

Hermione walked forward nervously and stood on the other side of the table. She looked to Rose as to what she should do. Rose simply pointed at the knife, gestured to her hand and made a cutting motion then held it out presumably over the goblet. Hermione picked up the sharp blade with a shaky hand and made the cut on her left hand, wincing as the knife made contact with her hand and held it over the goblet. Once the goblet was full enough she removed her hand to look at the cut only to find that it had already healed itself magically. Ragnok then took the goblet of blood and poured it over a blank piece of parchment. Slowly words formed and Hermione was shocked at what formed on the parchment.

BAM! Hermione fainted.

"So let me get this straight, I'm a what?" Hermione asked sitting down with a goblet of water in her hand.

"You're a witch, Hermione," Rose said, Bellatrix snorted and Daphne tried to politely hide her laugh.

"A Rosier, to be precise you are the heiress to the Rosier house and the Rosier magic," Ragnok said before Hermione could react to Rose's light teasing.

"And given that your blood linage has been confirmed as pure, I can enact the sealed will in the Rosier vault," Ragnok seemed pleased about this.

"Who sealed my brother's will? The ministry never gave me an answer," Anastasia asked.

"Only one person has the power to do that, Albus Dumbledore," Ragnok sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"May we have a private reading of the will here, now?" Hermione asked dejected.

"As the heir of the Ancient house of Rosier you may ask that. Sawtooth, fetch me the Rosier account manager," Ragnok snapped and the goblin guard saluted before leaving the room to fetch said goblin.

A few minutes later another goblin was brought it holding a magically sealed folder. He placed it on the table and then sat down at a chair that appeared next to Ragnok.

"Greetings, I am House Rosier's account manager Ripclaw," he said.

"Now, Miss Hermione Rosier. I need you to repeat these words.

I, Hermione Anna Rosier, Heiress of House Rosier. Do hereby declare the will of Evan Brian Rosier to be unsealed. So, I say, so mote it be," Ripclaw instructed.

"I, Hermione Anna Rosier, Heiress of House Rosier. Do hereby declare the will of... Evan Brian Rosier to be unsealed. So, I say, so mote it be," Hermione repeated.

Golden light wrapped around the folder as the magical seal was broken and the sealed will was now presentable to the people. Ripclaw opened the folder and the paged lit up to show a blonde-haired man and a raven haired woman who were presumably Hermione's real parents.

"I Evan Brian Rosier do hereby declare that I am of sound mind and body and that this is indeed my last will and testament.

To my dear girl Hermione, if you are seeing this then I, Evan Brian Rosier have died and in a worse case, your mother has also died. Check the behind the desk in my office, the ring will show you the way. Know that your mother and I love you with all our heart, hopefully we haven't died before getting to see you grow up, meet a young man, or woman, and get married and have grandchildren that we can spoil while you're out doing whatever our lord requires of you. But if this is being presented by Ripclaw, it means we're dead.

If both Maria and I are to pass before Hermione has gone through schooling and is a mature adult. She is to be put in the care of my sister Anastasia Greengrass née Rosier. If for some reason Anastasia is unable to perform her role as Hermione's godmother, she is to be taken to Bulgaria and put with Vladimir and Patricia Krum and their son Harrison as Vladimir is Maria's brother and head of House Krum. If neither of these parties are able to care of Hermione, she is to be placed in the care of Lillian Rosemary Potter née Evans and Lucius Draconis Malfoy to be raised by both parties.

To my dear sister Anastasia, I leave you the Rosier family home in London where we grew up, along with your personal Rosier vault of 10 Million Galleons to help you care for Hermione, Anna, I also leave you the Rosier seats in the Wizengamot, make sure to use them wisely along with that Husband of yours. I love you sister and I couldn't be more proud of who you chose as a husband, tell your children I'm sorry that I was never around to be their fun uncle. God only knows what hell you'll put them through, so sorry kids that you couldn't escape your mother's strictness. Ow! What was that for Maria!

Don't worry Anna, I hit him for you because I know you wouldn't be able to if you received this version of the will

To my brother-in-law Vladimir Adonis Krum, we leave you Maria's portrait Library except the Portraits of ourselves, along with Maria's farm in France and a sum of 5 Million Galleons for a future for Harrison as well as asking that you be the father figure Hermione needs and that Harrison is the older brother she can look up to. Vlad, protect my girl from everything that may cause her harm, boys, girls, whatever she gets into.

To Lillian Rosemary Potter née Evans, you were one of my best friends when Maria and I had to fulfill this marriage contract, you taught me what it was like to love. You taught me your strange muggle views on love and you taught me what it meant to have a sister that isn't uptight. I leave you and your family our Holiday house in Bulgaria, take your children there and let them have fun. We also leave you a sum of 2 Million Galleons as well as a further 2 Million to be put into a separate vault for your children.

To Lucius Draconis Malfoy, you are my brother in arms, my brother throughout school and my brother in death. I leave you my private cabin in London, you know which one it is. Have that step-sister of yours train my girl how to duel, no one will ever mess with a Rosier again.

And finally, to our dear Hermione. We leave you in the care of our loved ones, along with the rest of the contents of our personal family vault which is it a total of 30 Million Galleons. As well as the item storage vault, which contains various books and other items that you may find useful in your endeavors. In your room in the Rosier family home, there are portraits of Maria and Myself and different scenes, we updated them every day until the day we died. If you ever want to talk to your parents, we are there and we will guide you as best we can.

Be strong Hermione, the future is coming and I know you'll be a big part of things to come.

Love, Evan Brian Rosier.
