Chapter Ten: Characters' Descriptions & Flashbacks

This chapter has been edited on school property and on the school's computers by WordPerfect 12.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter characters. They rightfully belong to J.K. Rowling. I own the appearances, attitudes, and personalities for 'Blade' and 'Sapphire'.

A/N: Demons doesn't care for last names. Most demons doesn't need or have one, but I'll reconsider … just this once.

Blade is a demon with powers of Fire and Ice, which is Forbidden with a cold and emotionless attitude. How is it Forbidden? That is simple; Fire and Ice cancel each other out; Fire can melt ice and sometimes Ice and freeze Fire, if the user is strong enough. He has a kind of laser eyes, which turned (dark) purple when use. With it, he can control weak-minded humans and demons, and send telepathic messages. Blade is also a master of Swordsmanship, his strength, speed, and accuracy are incredible that no human or demon should have or could master.

Blade had always had a cold and emotionless attitude, but when he met with Sapphire, things took a big turn. He had grown up, not knowing his parents, he was by himself. Blade had led a terrible life; full of deceit, lies, and betrayal. He was burdened with scars that a child shouldn't have to carry. He became a thief, liar, and even murderer. So he will know what's real when he sees it and you can't really tell a lie to a demon because they could sense it, unless you're a demon and have many practices with lying (mostly fox demons).

He was betrayed when he was younger about five. He was betrayed by a girl that was his girlfriend. She was pretty and smart, but she wasn't prettier or smarter than Sapphire. When he found out, he tortured her, slowly and painfully, then he killed her, along with her family … even though they are innocent, to some point … Since then, he steers clear away from love and emotions.

Blade is fiercely independent and his raw ambition drives him to pursue his own agenda at all times. Although, he generally cares little for human life and views others as mere obstacles in the pursuit of his own goals, he strictly adheres to his own simple code of honour. Betray him, you will die. Try to kill him, you will die. Become an enemy, you die. Hurt or offend him, you will die. Basically, as long as you respect him, you will live. He never betrayed anyone unless necessary, which is close to never. As such, he helps those who helped him and is fiercely loyal to those who have managed to earn his respect. He hides behind this cover; the emotionless and 'I-don't-care' attitude to avoid getting hurt, both emotionally and physically. He never revealed his weakness to anyone.

Yes, in many ways, he is a cold bastard, but he had changed for one person, a girl, his girl, his Mate-to-Be, his Sapphire.

— Flashback —

Blade was only eleven years old when he had been accepted to the school; Birmingham Manchester. There, he meet Sapphire, who was in his House. He was cold and a bastard to everyone.

"Hi," said a young Sapphire. "I'm Sapphire."

"Hn," said Blade, ignoring her.

Sapphire frowned, but then laughed. "I think we're going to be great friends, don't you think?" asked Sapphire.

She gave him a hug and left a stunned Blade, no one hugged him for five bloody years. For five loooooong year. That wasn't one of many hugs he received from the girl. And in no time, he missed being around with her, her hugs and her. Of course, he would never admit it.

In one class, when he dropped a book at the end of the class, he picked it up for her, which was unusual because he usually kicked it farther from the person's (or in this case; demon's) reach.

Sapphire smiled, sweetly. "Thank you, Blade," said Sapphire and she leaned up to give him a quick kiss on his lips.

So soft, thought Blade, he couldn't help, but think about it.

For the next few days, he couldn't forget that little, innocent kiss from the Canine's Princess. Sapphire is so sweet and so … beautiful.

Beautiful? thought Blade. Since when did I thought the girl is beautiful?

He had never ever thought anyone was beautiful, until now. Not even his ex-girlfriend, but she was pretty, not beautiful. Not beautiful at all. Not beautiful than Sapphire. His Sapphire. Now, being Blade, he wouldn't just admit that he has a crush on Sapphire since she kissed him, but soon it became harder and harder for him to just ignore her, and that's saying something.

— End of Flashback —

Sapphire is his girl, his woman, his Mate-to-be. She is his life.

Diamond Yukimura is a Silver Fox Demon. Her Mother and Father are the Lord and Lady of the Northern lands in the Demon World. She has no brothers or sisters. Fox demons are known for their sexual sensations or feelings. Silver Fox Demons are rare and are the lustiest demon of them all. They are rare because a lot of them died because some humans hunt them down for their soft skin. She and her parents are Japanese. They have good memories. Silver Fox Demons control Plants and sometimes Wind.

Jade Lo is a Water Dog Demon. Her parents are the Lord and Lady of the Southern lands in the Demon World. She has no brothers, but she does have a sister, but the sister and her doesn't get along with each other that much. She and her parents are Chinese. Water Dog Demons control Water. Her sister is Victoria Lo, she's around the same age as Sapphire and she doesn't go to school (Demon, Muggle or Wizarding) because she didn't want to.

Luke Carson is a Light Apparition. Both of his parents are the most power Light Apparitions ever, so he's pretty much well known in the Demon World. He has no brothers or sisters. He and his parents are, well, English. Light Apparition control Light and can make Light. 'Apparition' simply means that they look humans, but aren't one.

Daniel Lane is a half demon and half human. His Mother was human and his Father is a demon, a Dog Demon to be exact. His family decided to live in the human world in the Muggles' part of the umm, part. He and his parents are English. He has no brothers or sisters.

Ruby is a Ruby Red Fox Demon. Her parents are the Lord and Lady of the Eastern lands in the Demon World. She has one sister, but she's older and is already mated to someone. And the sister has a family of her own. She and her parents are Vietnamese. Ruby Red Fox Demons are special because they control fire and shadow, which is perplexing.

All of them are protective of Sapphire also known as Hermione Granger. The Muggle and Wizarding World either; doesn't know about 'demons', don't know why or both. They're all older than her by a year.

Since Hermione was young; she knew she was different. Different from both; Muggles and Wizarding children. For both world; they rather play and have fun, except for 'proper Pure-bloods', of course. They were taught manners, indifference mask, and that Muggles and Muggleborns are all beneath them; they were taught at a young age. Hermione was never like that. Her first word was 'Mum' and she was a year old. She started reading at fifteen months (A year and three months). At the age of two, she had an immense vocabulary. By the age of three, she was reading complex, big textbooks. When she was in grade one in Muggle school, she was always bullied. For her work, her lunch, her looks, her brain, and well, her. They called her names, they pushed her around, and they made fun of her. Other students, bystanders, never helped. They just watched, some in amusement and others in sympathetic.

By the age of nine, she got a letter saying that she is of age and that she can go to 'Birmingham Manchester of Highly Developed School For the Gifted'. Which is a really good school. Really hard and extreme. Really real. In the school; they taught Hermione everything. They teach you new things all the time. Once you're officially of age; they allow you to go into battles. Real battles. Real dangerous battles. Real blood, real death, real killings, real weapons. The professors even build up her immune systems because she's special, by ejecting different types of poisons in her.

The first time she stepped a foot in BM, she know. She know that she belongs there. It's her place. Everyone's so nice! The place is lovely too. She remember the place.

— Flashback —

Hermione arrived at the BM school by a blue portal. It transported her outside of the Entrance door of the castle. When she got there; other kids were there too, slightly older than her though. They looked about ten or eleven years old, but she's nine. Did she came early? Is she in the wrong school? She was worried.

The door opened and the students walked inside, including Hermione. Inside was beautiful. It's mostly black and red, there's other colours too, but black and red rules in this school it seems. They were ushered into this big hall, full of students, older ones and of teachers, facing them.

Once Professor Summer made his speech. Another professor explained, 'The Crystal Ball'.

"Simply place your hand over the crystal ball and it will tell you which Houses you are in," said the second professor. "There's only two Houses; 'Canine' and 'Reptile'. Blue symbolized the Canine House and purple symbolized the Reptile House. Once I called your names; you will place your hand over the ball and sit where you're suppose to."

Fifteen minutes later; Hermione was called. She nervously walked to the front and placed her hand over the Crystal Ball. The effect was immediately; the Crystal Ball started to glow blue. Not just blue, but light blue, dark blue, baby blue, sky blue, navy blue, and just about all the combination of blues there is.

The Canine House immediately burst into applause as Hermione walked to the table and sat down, receiving coos, pats, and hugs from the older students.

— A Few Days Later —

A few days passed and Hermione felt like she's in Heaven! The place is perfect! It's clean and nice to live; easy too. On that particular day, however, was the day she had a meeting with the Headmaster. And to tell you the truth; she's scared and nervous. She didn't do anything wrong. At least, she didn't think so.

At noon, Hermione knocked on Professor Summer's door and then entered the room, meekly, when she heard his voice; 'Enter'.

"Ahh, Miss Granger," said Summer. "Candy? No? Ok. You're probably wondering what you're doing in here; correct?"

Hermione nodded, somewhat meekly.

Summer chuckled at the young girl's shyness. "How do you feel about your parents?" asked Summer. "Richard and Jane Grangers? Are they nice to you?"

"I love them with all my heart," answered Hermione, truthfully. "They're nice and caring. They always make time to me. To play with me. They're my parents." She said proudly and happily.

"Of course," said Summer. "But do you feel like you belong with them?"

Hermione frowned in confusion. "I don't understand," said Hermione.

Summer chuckled. "It's ok, my dear," said Summer. "Do you feel like you belong to them? That you're … related? Or do you feel like a stranger to them, sometimes?

Hermione's eyes shone with understanding and then she nodded, meekly and hesitantly. "Yes," said Hermione. "I feel like … like a stranger sometimes, which is what I don't get. They treat me very good. I also feel like … like they're hiding something from me. Something … important."

Summer nodded in understanding. "And you don't know why?" asked Summer, gently. She shook her head. "I see. Well … Hermione. What would you say … if I tell you that your parents, really isn't your real parents?"

Hermione looked shocked. "W-what!" said Hermione. "But I am their daughter! I am!"

Summer shook his head. Perhaps, she is too young for this. Maybe next year she'll be ready. "It's nothing," said Summer, soothingly. "I said if, Miss Granger. If."

— A Year Later —

A year has passed and Hermione's ten years old. She finally knew and found out that she's not who she is. She's not a Granger, well, not a fully one. Or a proper one. How did she found out? Well, that's the funny thing. One of her friend, Diamond, who's a year older than her, commented that she smell of Sakura Blossoms, Jasmine, Wild Flowers; not in a girly way, but … wild and untamable, and Spring Rain.

Diamond and some of her other friends commented that it's calming and soothing. When she came home; she found that her family's scent is different from her. And from what she learned at school; family, real family suppose to smell similar to each other. Her scent and her family's scent doesn't match.

She questioned Professor Summer about her real parents.

Summer smiled, not a happy smile, more like a sad and depressing one. "Well, Miss Granger," said Summer. "Your parents are well known in all three Worlds. They're really rich and famous. Powerful too. But they died, so they left you with their closest and best friends; Richard and Jane Grangers."

"But what am I?" asked Hermione. "Why am I here?" She pointed at well, the castle.

"Because of your parents, of course," said Summer. "Your parents are demons, the most powerful ones and you. You, my child, are the only child they have; the only daughter. We also found out that you are different from other humans and demons children."

"Different?" repeated Hermione. "How so?"

"Your parents are Fox Demons, you know," said Summer. "Shadow Fox Demons to be exact; with controls over the elements and weathers. The elements; fire, ice, water, air/wind, Earth, dark, light, lightening, and metal. And finally, the weathers; rain, snow, lightening, earthquake, etc. You inherit all of these … powers from your parents."

"Does that mean I'm a Shadow Fox Demon?" asked Hermione, curiously. "How come I don't … feel like one?"

Summer grinned. "Ahh, because …" said Summer. "You are not only a Shadow Fox Demon, but are mixtures of other kind of Demons too."

"Mixtures?" asked Hermione in disbelief. "Then does that mean that I –"

"No, it doesn't," interrupted Summer. "It means that you have more than one form. You have many forms and many different powers because of it. Now, I'm sure Professor Newbury had inform you that offsprings take like their parents, correct?" She nodded. "Well, that happens to be true. Many times, but not in this case. You are blessed with more forms and powers that we could ever dream of. Many people and demons would try to take advantages of you because of that. That is why you are here earlier than everyone else."

Hermione was too shocked to speak. A few minutes passed when she got her voice back. "How and why?" asked Hermione. "Why is it me? Why does it happened to me? When?"

"This hasn't been heard of," said Summer, leaning against his chair. "This hasn't been heard or seen of since one thousand and five hundred years ago. It is legend though. Every two thousand years, a child is blessed with powers and forms that is made and known to anyone." He looked at Hermione. "We are sure you are 'The One'. That is why I want you to be in this school earlier. To make sure you can control your powers, forms, and emotions, as it is most of the time; the key of setting powers off."

"How come I didn't change into anything?" asked Hermione, her head still spinning. "Why can't I turn into some kind of demon?"

"Because you aren't train to," said Summer. "Because no one had ever taught you now to."

And that. That is the day where Hermione trained night to day. Minutes or years. She worked hard to get where she is; without being … well, bitchy or turning into a snob.

— End of Flashback —

Hermione became the best of the best and she was only ten. When she reached eleven; she could control all her powers and 'forms'. She knew how to lie properly and no one can find out what she's saying is true or not. She learned wandless magic and soundless magic. She controlled both; her powers from the Wizarding World and her powers from the Demon World. She study and master five years of Demon Slayer, but she didn't stayed for five years, she mastered the art of Demon Slaying at the age of eleven, a whole year. In the year 1991; she got another letter to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; she didn't know what to do. It took a whole month before she decided; she's going to Hogwarts.

When she told her professors at BM, they were crying, sniffling and well, teary. They were all hugging her, well, hugging the life out of her. It took a full day to say good bye to the professors, and another day to say good bye to the students and her friends. When Hermione came 'home' for Holidays from Hogwarts, she actually went to BM. Everyone was surprised when they saw her because they can't sense any extreme magical powers, her demonic powers or any of her 'demon forms' anymore. Hermione looks, smell and have the aura of a regular human/witch. The professors were surprised and they wanted answers from her; they all ushered her into the staff room. They all sat down and waited for her explanation, and the explanation that they wanted; left them … speechless and well, in awe.

— Flashback —

"Miss Granger!" said Summer, worryingly. "What happened?!"

"My dear!" exclaimed Professor Nicole Sommer, the professor of Potions. "Where's your magical and demonic aura/energy?!"

"Oh, I hid it," said Hermione, simply.

All of her professors looked at her, blankly.

"I found a way to hid all of my powers," said Hermione.

Hermione waved her hand and a big jar appeared. The jar is clear and in the jar was some sort of … substance. It's like liquid, the liquid colour is light blue with swirls of other colours; like something's swimming in it. There's a few swirls colours; red, black, gold and silver, and darker blue – darker than the liquid colour, so you can tell it apart. The colour red is her demonic powers. The colour black is her dark (magical) powers. The colour gold and silver is for her … other powers, that doesn't belong to the Demon World, the Muggle World, or the Wizarding World. And the colour dark(er) blue is her purity or light powers.

"What is this for, my dear?" asked Professor Maria Yule, the professor for Charms.

"This is a jar that I made," said Hermione, tapping the jar, lightly. "This jar has all of my powers. I put every single spells there is to protect it. So my powers cannot be taken and the jar can't be break. An unbreakable jar."
"So this is all your powers?" asked Summer. Hermione nodded. "It's a lot. All you have to do is open the lid and your powers will return to you?"

Hermione nodded. "Yes, that's right," said Hermione. "Also, no one can touch the jar, except for me."

The other professors nodded, impressed that a twelve year old did that.

— End of Flashback —

She can withdraw her powers anytime she wants and when she does; she can control her powers and everything, however, she didn't want to because she goes to Hogwarts and not BM. Hogwarts, where humans goes and are, and I'm sorry to say, but they stink!
