Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Truth, Part Three

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'.

This chapter is Beta'd by 'xXxmiserybusinessxXx'. You're doing an awesome job! Honest!

--- Last Time … ---

"Uhh," said Sapphire, nervous. "Mom, can we talk?" She coughed. "Along with the Malfoys and Zabinis?
… Please?"

The three families glanced at each other and then back at their kids, plus Blade. The families nodded and excused themselves, politely, from the other families that are in the room. Richard, Jane, Brandon, Annie, Sapphire, Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, Mark, Casey, Emily, Blaise, and Blade went to the Dark Living Room and sat down. All of the adults in the room, including Brandon and Annie, all stared at Sapphire, Blaise, Draco, and Blade. All of them had an 'I'm waiting' expression on their faces. The four teens looked at each other; they have no clue where to start. This will take forever.

--- This Time … ---

"Maybe you heard some rumours, uhh, about us," said Sapphire, beckoning to herself, Blade, Blaise, and Draco. "That we're … uhh, involved."

Narcissa, Lucius, Casey, Mark, Jane, Richard, Brandon, and Annie's eyebrows rose. "Oh?" asked Brandon, softly.

Sapphire looked at her brother, warily. With him around, it's not a good thing. If Sapphire likes any guys, then Brandon hates them. If Sapphire hates any guys, then Brandon likes them. Oh dear. And at the moment, she loves and destined to be with three males; oh boy.

"Ohh!" said Annie, jumping up from her seat and rushing to Sapphire, pulling her into a tight hug; but Sapphire didn't feel the tightness of the hug. "So these are your three fiancés?" She walked around the three males. "Hmm. Not bad." She said as she sat back down.

"So, you're ok with this?" asked Sapphire, nervously and confusingly.

Narcissa and Casey's eyes sparkled. "Of course we are," said Narcissa and Casey in unison. "We always wanted you as a daughter." They said, still in unison and smiling so large that all the teens thought that the two adults' faces will permanently stuck that way.

Sapphire felt confused and relieved, at least, for now. Confused because the two women accepted her, even though she's going to have three fiancés/future husbands. Relieved because the two aren't freaking out or screaming … yet.

"You're not mad?" asked Sapphire, meekly. "That I have three fiancés?"

All the adults in the room had an 'ohh' expression on their faces, well, except for Brandon, who had a 'shit!' expression. So this is why the girl seems so nervous and tense.

"Oh, dear, we aren't worried about that," said Casey, normally; not like other women who would be freaking out about having more than one fiancés/future husbands.

"We're sure that the three boys will get along just great," said Narcissa, her smile still in place. "We aren't worried about that, dear. Don't worry."

"We are not disgusted with you if that is what you are thinking, love," added Jane. "We know earlier that something big is going to happen … this was unexpected, but expected as well." Riddles. I can't it.

"What do you mean?" asked Sapphire. She can sense that they're not lying, but how are they 'expecting' this?

"We have that little prophecy," said Annie. "It's not really completed though."

"Oh," said Sapphire. "Here's the full version of it then."

Sapphire took the prophecy from her pocket and gave it to Annie. She read it out loud and honestly; the adults looked a bit pale.

"Oh, and Mom …" said Sapphire. "I'm not … exactly … human."

Narcissa, Casey, Annie, and Jane looked at Sapphire, before their eye balls rolled to the back of their eye sockets and then, the four females fainted, right on the spot. The males; Lucius, Mark, Brandon, and Richard looked at Sapphire, stupidly.

"Well, that went well," said Sapphire, looking at the four unconscious women and at the four men, looking at her.

--- Gryffindor Common Room ---

The next day, Harry and Ron waited in the Common Room for Ginny. No one was in the Common Room, but them, thank Merlin. They were getting rather frustrated. How long does the girl have to sleep?! OR get ready, damnit!

"Where is she?!" said Ron, pacing around in the Common Room. "We need the Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map!"

Harry lied down on the red and gold couch with his eyes closed, but he wasn't closing. Damnit, thought Harry. Where is she?

They need the Cloak and Map now. Hopefully, then, they can sneak onto Hermione. Damnit. They really need to talk to Hermione. To say that they're sorry and that they want to be friends. Harry clenched his jaw and hands together, tightly too. They - he - want to talk to her alone - not with her friends and boyfriends. What is up with that anyways? THREE BOYFRIENDS! And she didn't even tell them - him! AND THEY'RE COUSINS! Him, her; Harry, Hermione/Sapphire; Harry James Potter, Hermione what-ever-her-middle-name-is Granger; Quidditch Player, a Bookworm; two best friends!

A few minutes later, Ginny went downstairs with Harry's Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map. The boys, upon seeing Ginny, practically ran to her. Ginny, upon seeing the boys rushing to her, smirked. She knew it. She just knew it. The boys were looking for her so they can apologize and maybe Harry want to re-ask her out, again. She had a smug smile on her face, and turned to Harry and Ron, expecting for them to burst with apologizes.

"FINALLY!" shouted Ron. "What the Bloody Hell were you doing up there?" He asked, snatching away the Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map. "Where did you go - you sure took your Bloody time!" He put the cloak around himself, slipping to the side a bit so there's space for Harry while he gave Harry the Map. "We were waiting for the Cloak and Map for days!" He then turned to Ginny when Harry took the Map from him. "Well, Gin? Where were you? WE WERE WAITING FOR YOU TO RETURN THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK AND THE MARAUDER'S MAP FOR SEVERAL DAYS!!!" Ron hollered at his younger sister, angrily and loudly. Hell, he was so angry that Harry hid behind the couch … and he's the Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived! Wow! Bravo for Ronald Bulius Weasley!

While Ginny's face changed; from happy to pissed in a matter of seconds. The main and the biggest reason was that she thought that the boys were going to apologize for their mistakes and be nice to her again. Harry would probably ask her out, again, too. But instead, all she got was a scolding from Ron and indifference from Harry. They could at least, say 'Hi' or 'Good morning, Ginny', but noo! Instead, the first thing that came out of Ron's mouth is 'FINALLY'.

Ginny glared at her brother, hard. "Where I had been is none of your business!" snapped Ginny. "Not like it interest you anyways." Lie. "It's also none of your business!" Lie. "I can do whatever I want!" Half a lie. "I don't want you to worry about me!" Big time lie. "I hate you, both of you!" Not a lie. "I want you to leave me the Bloody Hell alone!" Lie.

Ginny stomped back upstairs, slamming the door when she reached them. She clenched and unclenched her hands. Damn them; damn them both. They're supposed to worry about me, love her, adore her and do everything that she say and want. This is not the way she planned them. Not at all.

And I have to get all buddy-buddy with them quick, thought Ginny, pacing at the side of her bed. Dumbledore and the Dark Lord will be expecting important and useful information about Harry. I need some quick. Now, would be nice. I'm learning how to make Veritaserum; if I brew it correctly; I can use it on Harry. Hmm. Or … he might have some spare so I can use … She sat down and think hard. But how will I give it to Harry? Privately? I would need to 'interview' him, alone. Without Ron tagging along. But how? How? She sat there and thought about it. Of course! She snapped her fingers as she thought of something. When everyone is asleep. I can always sneak into the Boys' Dormitory and give Harry some drops of Veritaserum. When I have everything that I needed; I can always Obliviate him afterwards. Ginny smirked at her plans. My plans are flawless. Once this is completed, I'll be one of the Dark Lord's best Death Eaters, again. And one of the top Inner Circle. Not to mention; Dumbledore, can start paying me, better. I help him and he'll help me become one of the most well-known witches in the world! She laughed. Either way; I'll be noticed. I have to say; this is one of my best plans, yet. Again, she laughed.

However, if the young bitch paid attention to her surroundings and such, she would have noticed that someone just 'overheard' her plans. That someone was leaning against a semi-dark corner, listening into the young female's thoughts. When the figure heard everything that it needed, it melted in the wall from behind.

Ginny has no idea what she's in for. She's in for a world of surprises. ::Grins madly:: The girl is never smart; we'll just see how stupid she really is and how quick of a learner is she …

--- The Granger Manor, That Same Day & Sometimes in the Afternoon ---

"What was that, that you were talking about, dear?" asked Casey, sipping delicately into her cup of tea.

"Well," said Sapphire, shifting to one foot to the other. "Uhh, I'm not exactly … normal … or a human. … I'm not … human. I'm … something else - not human. I can live -"

"You're like the Marlston-Wells, aren't you?" interrupted Jane, looking straight at Sapphire. "You're one of them, aren't you?"

Sapphire looked at Jane. Oh, so she knew about us, thought Sapphire. That would be a bit better. "Yes," said Sapphire, softly.

Sapphire, Draco, Blade, and Blaise were expecting something, but they didn't expect that.

"OH, MY POOR BABY!!!" said Jane, jumping up and running towards Sapphire, squeezing the life out of her.

"OMPH!!!" cried Sapphire. "Mother!" Her cries were muffled because her head was buried above Jane's chest. "Mom!!"

"Oh, my poor, poor baby!" wailed Jane. "I'm such a bad Mother! How does the food taste to you? Too much? Too little? Too sugary? Too watery? Too salty? Ohhh, my baby!!"

Richard came up to the daughter and Mother, freeing Sapphire out of Jane's grip. "Now, Jane," said Richard. "Relax."

While Richard began calming Jane down, the other adults were all left in the dark. Not knowing what the big deal was or what was going on. The food tastes better than 'ok' to them. It's perfect! So what is this about too this and too that? Can someone shed some lights into this?

"Ohh, my baby!" wailed Jane, dabbing her eyes with her white handkerchief. "My poor, poor baby." She sniffed.

"As I was saying," said Sapphire, smoothing out the crinkles from her dress. "I'm not a human. Blade isn't one either. We're both demons … we live, practically forever. The only time you die is when you are killed off or are poisoned off - which is close to impossible. And now that Draco and Blade are my … future fiancés; I want their family - you to become demons as well as themselves …"

"We, both, agree to talk with you over this first, before deciding," said Blaise. "We also like you to become one as well."

Sapphire, Blade, Blaise, and Draco held onto their breaths for their answers …

"Demons?!"

"Live forever?!

"Not humans?!"

"DEMONS?!?!"

Those were the responses that the adults spoke. Ehh, it looks like they're speechless - they have no idea how to handle it. The adults re-collected themselves, making sure they looked neutral and then they all continued to look at Sapphire.

"What was that about being a demon, sweetie?" asked Jane, blowing her nose in the handkerchief. "What kind of demon are you? I believe your parents are Shadow Fox Demons. What will happen to Draco and Blaise?"

"Relax, Mom," said Sapphire. "About Draco and Blaise … I'm planning to turn them into demons as well … and we would love it if you be one as well. Along with Blaise's siblings, of course."

"Demons," muttered Narcissa. "My baby is going to be a demon. My baby. My baby boy. My precious baby boy."

Draco's cheeks reddened. "Mother," mumbled Draco, looking pretty embarrassed.

"Of course, we'll be demons," said Narcissa, sniffing. "Aren't we, Lucius?" She asked her husband, with an edge to them.

Lucius nodded mutely. Casey shot glares at her husband; Mark quickly nodded in agreement too. Jane, Richard, and Annie merely smiled and shook their heads 'no'. Brandon scowled, but shook his head 'no'. When Sapphire asked/complained by her family saying 'no'; they said that they don't want to live forever and ever. It's just sad to leave everyone behind when it is time.

"What do you want us to do, dear?" asked Casey.

"Well," said Sapphire. "If possible, you can read this book -" A few books appeared out of thin air. "And see what type you like. Then I can turn you into demons … some how."

"Ok, dear," said Narcissa. "We'll read the book. Will it hurt when you turn into a demon?"

Sapphire smiled, warily. "Truthfully, I don't know," said Sapphire. "I think so or sometimes, it depends on your choice of demon … type." The Malfoys and Zabinis had a thoughtful look on their faces, and then both of them shared a look. "Do you want to be the same type of demon, or different?" She looked at the Narcissa, Lucius, Casey, Mark, Draco, and Blaise when she said this.

The six of them looked at each other. "Same," said all six of them in unison.

(A/N: I know, I know. It's cheesy, isn't it? Let me guess; you were expecting more … action, right? More crying, more freaking out, more disbelief and such? Sorry; I was never good at that whole parent thing.)

--- Back at Hogwarts, In the Transfiguration Office---

::Knock::::Knock::

Professor Minerva McGonagall waved her wand at the door, unlocking it and it swung open, reveal Hermione Granger a.k.a Sapphire, her secretly favourite pupil.

"Miss Granger," said McGonagall, nodding for Sapphire to come in and take a take. "How can I help you?" She waved her wand, again and the door closed.

Sapphire smiled. "Professor McGonagall," started Sapphire. "I was wondering …" She hesitated; not sure how her professor will take this; she is, after all, one of the strict teachers in Hogwarts. " … If I can call you … Grandma - in private, of course. I know that you and Professor Dumbledore …" She trailed off, not really knowing what to say next and without offending the strict Transfiguration professor.

First, McGonagall looked shock, then please and then she was beaming with pride. "Of course you can, Miss Gra - Hermione," said McGonagall, correcting herself at the end. "It would be my pleasure." She stroke Sapphire's long hair.

Sapphire smiled. "Great!" said Sapphire. "How are you, Grandma?"

"I'm fine, Hermione, just fine," said McGonagall. "How are you?"

"Oh, I am just peachy!" exclaimed Sapphire.

Sapphire spent a couple of minutes talking and then she brought up the subject about her not being human, but demon. So far, Sapphire told her of the first part of the prophecy about herself and her three fiancés, but before she could explain any farther, her Grandma and Transfiguration professor fainted.

"Opps," uttered Sapphire. "I guess I shouldn't tell her that much." She peered down at the older woman's fallen body. "My bad."

--- With Alicia Spinnet ---

(A/N: A week has now passed, so it is now the beginning of Christmas Holiday of the year 1996. Do remember that Alicia, Katie and Angelina are older than Hermione a.k.a Sapphire by two years. Now onto the rest of the story …)

Maybe I should talk to her about it, thought Alicia, pacing in her room at her house.

Her Mom's downstairs, in the Living Room and she thought it would be nice if she can sit down with her Mom, talking about the whole ideal of becoming Demons. She breathed in deeply before she went downstairs, to where her Mom is.

"Mom …" said Alicia. "I … I have to … tell you something."

Mrs. Spinnet looked up and smiled at Alicia, patting the seat next to her. "What is it, my dear?" asked Mrs. Spinnet. "You want to talk to me about something?"

"Yes," said Alicia. "Well, I have a couple of friends …" She decides to tell her Mom, bluntly and quickly as possible … "I have a couple of friends at school that isn't normal. They're demons actually, pretty ones, cool ones; not like the ones in the books and such. They get to live practically forever. And they had invited me to join them, but I want to talk to you about it first. So what do you think, Mom? Do you want to be a demon too?"

Mrs. Spinnet stared blankly at Alicia, her words registering in her mind, somewhere. When it clicked, she was freaked out; actually, she's beyond 'freaked out'. "YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH WHO" screamed Mrs. Spinnet. "YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH DEMONS NOW?!?! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BEFRIEND A DEMON" No, this is not normal. Friends with Muggle? Fine. Friends with Wizards/Witches? Even better. But friends with Demons?THAT IS NOT NORMAL!! Honestly; who in their right mind would befriend someone that lives 'practically forever'? Such freaks! "Alicia - you are not turning into those - those - those Demons!" She spat like it was venom. "Neither you nor I would be turning into those freaks of Nature.NO, Alicia. NO. Tell your friends; NO."

Alicia was hurt. "But Mom -" started Alicia.

SMACK! But a sharp and painful slap stopped her. Her head snapped into one direction because of the force of the slap. Her Mom slapped her; she never did, until now that is.

"No buts, Alicia," said Mrs. Spinnet, standing up and standing tall. "I know what's good for you. This - this friends of yours are no good. You hear? No good."

"Yes, Mom," said Alicia. " …Obliviate."

Her Mom fell back on the couch. A few seconds later, she stood up. "What's going on?" asked Mrs. Spinnet, confusingly. Both of her hands came up to her temple. "Did you want me for something?

"Nothing," said Alicia.

Well, it looks like Alicia has some thinking to do …

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

A/N: Yes. I know. I know. The part with the adults sucks ass. I know. Sorry! But I am never good at the whole parents talk thingy. SORRY! Crap. It's crap … Oh, and I have no idea how to 'turn them into demons'. No idea; not yet anyways … damn! ::Sigh:: Ok, so as soon as I get ideas, I'll type it and blah-blah-blah … yeah. No ideas. ::Two hours later:: No; no ideas have come yet, sorry.
