"Hades will get it for you Ms. Riddle." The house-elf replied limping away as Hermione opened the door of the library. A woman with long red hair stood with her back to the door dressed in a casual blue jeans and a white formal jacket. A man with shabby black hair stood near a large row of books on a ladder trying to get some documents. His black jeans and a black jacket with white stripes hanging off his shoulders. "You said you found something."

Surprised the two figures turned around, Lilly Potter and James Potter. The woman sighed in relief before going up and hugging her, "Hermione Riddle! Don't ever do that again kid."

"Sorry aunty." She muttered hugging her back, James came up and slammed her back lightly, "Don't worry Herms she's a little finicky."

"It's fine uncle James." She replied as Lilly rolled her eyes, "Pongs how many times have I told I'm not finicky."

"Course you are Lilly flower finicky as an infants mother." He teased as Hermione smiled looking at them remembering the first time she met them. [Flash back It was the first time she had gone to the ministry to file her registration for the guardianship change and got healed back due to a large amount of work. Her mind was tiered as she took another drink walking around the ministry – wait for another hour, there was much more important work to do. So she wanted loitering till she reached a door…voices were heard behind it. Voices she knew she heard before some were before, the rustling of the vile, the room of death. Her eyes flashed around before she quietly sneaked in…the veil were rustling a quick glance at the runes she knew what they meant. If the killing curse was not set out properly half-killing any one they will be pushed behind the veil till their time comes. So some one who was trapped was coming out – she needed to help. Holding out her arm whispered the incantation as a red cobra appeared around her wrist like a bracelet. The head holing its tail growing in size quickly till suddenly it let go dropping down continuing its growth. Suddenly with a wave of her hand it changed into a magnificent sword with a red hold with platinum patterns encrypted on it. The platinum blade had red patterns similar to it…from the end of the handle came two serpents a white one and a black one at least few inches long wrapped around the blade with their mouth's open facing each other. The long blades of the sword making them look puny and nothing powerful. Softly she spoke the words, "Cut the boundary open my friend."

The roof struck down red lighting touching the sword the serpents eyes came life sighing red and the blades shone through the patterns finally till a laser like red light beam touched the centre of the veil cutting it into two equal parts. Smoke filled the room making her choke in her drunken state. A pair of strong hands gripped her shoulder. The smoke cleared and the veil repaired it self-whole like nothing happened. Her eyes opened lightly to see the brown eyes of…James Potter. Dressed in old-fashioned black clothes. The same he wore on the day he died. Near him stood Lilly Potter her emerald eyes filled with confusion as she looked upon the girl clad in mid knee length black boots the rest of her legs covered up under a black see through stockings. The black short skirt she wore with a yellow tank top and the black leather jacket. Her hair pulled up in a high ponytail and her make up looked so deep. A possibility of perfume mixed with the smell of alcohol. "J-James and L-Lilly Potter…s-should h-have known it w-would b-be you."

Those were the first words she spoke before fainting. [End of Flashback Hermione continued to look at them biker lovingly her eyes shining with something, "What's it Hermy?"

"Don't call me Hermy uncle…I was just thinking if Winddy mummy and daddy would…" her smile faded as her tears filled in her eyes. At that moment her mother's death was more real than before. Quiet real! Lilly seeing the girl's smile fade rubbed her shoulders, "Hermione – baby…."

"A-Aunty I….I'm fine." She replied tears filling her eyes, "Wh-what was it you wanted to talk to me about? O Thank you Hades."

"Ms. Riddle is welcome. Can Hades get anything for master and mistress?" he asked looking at the two of them, Lilly smiled, "No thank you Hades we are fine. You may leave."

"As mistress wishes." The elf bowed low to everyone before going out, Hermione sighed and leaned back. "What did you want to talk to me about aunty?"

"Herms we found some more documents about Cassandra and her life. You may want to read them…" Lilly added handing her a large volume on the table were Hermione could read. Opening the first document she read, "Letters?"

"Read on kid." James urged,

17 March

Galestor Tower,

England

Dear Leo,

When will you return? You wrote to me in you're last owl that you have finished you're work and coming to meet me with a playmate. Please tell me where are you are now? Who is this playmate you are going to bring Leo? I don't have anyone to talk to except for you…for everyone I am just the 'founders' daughter. Revenclaw and Hufflpuff were also out. You are the only one who keeps me updated though Mr. Griffindor so please come back.

I am seated facing the window were many times we have conversed. The full moon shines down upon my parchment as I write this to you the night is beautiful but the howls of the werewolves seem to ripple across today. Even more than the normal times, I only pray there is not much blood shed. None is too far fetched to consider or even ask for though. Howards School is beautiful and captivating though, as I think of you Leo. Father's gone out for the night again tonight I don't know were he went tonight. Most probably to that hateful brothel again in France – I don't know what he likes in that place though. I hate that blood filled robes of his when he returns now a days a gory sight they are! Some times I wish I could have my old father back – you know the one who used to read me stories when I fell asleep. The one who would kiss me good night before leaving…now if I am a sick only house elf take care of me. Not him!

When you come will teach me those new spells Leo? Come soon. I miss you.

Cat

Hermione looked up at the two adults in the room, "Uncle Prongs – you mean…."

"He was pulled in not started it. The brothel in France is a starting point." James cleared, Hermione smiled, "So Mrs. Pongs I think you should check it up there first right?"

"We are on our way but we do need fake i.d's." she told them, Hermione nodded, "On their way, give me two days."

"Given – you want some lunch?" she offered knowing Hermione loved food, "No thanks aunty. I'll make a move though…thanks for the coffee."

"Hermione Riddle." James called her back she looked at him scared, "Yes uncle Prongs?"

"You are going to have lunch with us today and no choice about it for you today. Come on – it's you're favourite stuff."

"My favourite lunch?" she asked surprised, he grinned and took her along with him to the garden were a fabulous lunch was set, "Grilled sandwiches, potato salad, cheese pasta sprinkled with grated carrots, co-co and chocolate cake. Aunty what's all this?"

"Honey just some things we observed you liked and wiped up now dig in." Lilly kissed Hermione's forehead before sitting down, "Besides you need good home cooked food. You're practically skin and bones."

"Aunty I am not skin and bones. I exercise a lot…" she argued picking up a sandwich, "Hmm…yummy aunty you should make these for big-b, he'll love them."

"Really?" James asked, "Good then I will make those grilled sandwiches for him."

Hermione nearly chocked on her bite, "Uncle YOU made these?"

"Surprised?" James teased, "Yeah papa told me that aunty is a good cook but he never told me about you."

"Herms you're papa does not know much about my husband." Lilly remained her putting some pasta on her plate, "Really aunty? But you told me you and papa were best friends in school?"

"Herms – just eat." James cut her off before she could begin going into places were history's worst parts could come out, "When we meet you're big-b well make these again for him all right?"

"All right uncle." She smiled reassuringly, "I'll eat quietly now. that is if there is nothing more you have to talk to me about."

"Talk – no honey you eat but we do have to talk about what read though." Lilly added, Hermione nodded munching away, "Starters – Slytherine clearly did not start this 'organization' you spoke of but some one influenced him into it. Herms who ever did this was very good at brainwashing even some one like Slytherine into this was very good. Cassandra had written about this to several people as an emotional let out. Especially after the death of his wife, made him a womaniser from a devoted husband. They did this through very deep planning and great thinking. Be careful with what ever you do – they are very well planned and quiet brilliant. So be more careful with what you do got that?"

Hermione nodded eating some more pasta, "Now – when you develop you're plans be even more careful the top circle is constantly on the move and always has. The next point you need to keep in mind is that they don't pull people from family alone but all over. They may be small but they are quiet powerful most importantly their clan is spread practically every were. When you work make sure that you or your team members are in control of them selves. These people are experts in turning the tables."

"Got it uncle." She reported, Lilly continued what James stopped, "Herms when you work through these people keep in mind both you're as in you're team's strength's and weaknesses. Don't be rash."

"Got it aunty." She nodded, "I'll be more careful in future – actually I will be more careful from now it self. Now onwards my plans will be centred around getting information of these key people. I have the financial recourses now it's all about waiting for my time to set right before my attack."

"Be very careful Hermione – every movement must be very careful got that?" James asked, Hermione nodded sipping some of her drink. "Next point – their secrets have always been very quiet but the leaders have been quiet open about their ideas. Keep family history in mind when you work with them child."

"I won't uncle. I'll get my team to start working on family history immediately." She added sounding quiet confident, Lilly rolled her eyes, "You sound more like an officer than the kid Prongs and Padfoot saved from you're father's place. Be more relaxed will you?"

"Aunty I am relaxed – compared to some people. I mean that's why I drink – to chill." She smiled, Lilly glared at her, "Hermione – drinking is not the key solution to these problems. It is about keeping you would need more control over your self. Drinking and smoking would brake that."

"Not in my case darling." She retorted, "For me they drive me up not push me down. I don't depend on them either. By the way co-co's good."

James glared at her, "Hermione please you and I both know that you're strategies are dangerous just tuned down a bit."

"Tune down a bit so that they can destroy more innocent lives with thsoe fucking crap James? Then sorry I won't." she snapped getting up, Lilly who was not at all new to her language or her temper sighed, "We are not telling you to stop and take a brake. We are asking you to lean back before you pounce. Think rationally not emotionally – use you're mind against theirs. Beat down their every argument with ten of yours. Be much more careful when you work – have you're team in places where you know you can brake their hold."

"Slughorn?" she asked, "Slughron."

Lilly and James agreed, Hermione drained her glass and put down getting up, "Thanks for lunch. I'll see you soon…by the way aunty I did not throw up my breakfast those days at home. Thought I should tell you."

Lilly nodded as James patted her head indicating she could leave.

Hosemade – Hogs heads

"Ab! Give me a strong coffee with a good shot of brandy will you?" Hermione called walking in as the younger Dumbldore stood with his back to her, "One coffee with a shot of brandy coming up Riddlelet."

"Thank you Ab – hay you won't have any contact with that old potions coot would you?" she asked casually he gave her a sharp look, she nodded, "Old coot keeps barging about his brilliant students even today when he comes to my bar. Every Thursday – slug club members there, slug club members that – even stuff like I was so sure Lilly Potter…can't stand that bag of air."

"Poor chap – every Thursday that too?" she asked laughing, "Yeah – he's nuts. There you go a nice strong alcoholic coffee."

"Thanks honey." She smiled raising her mug to him and drinking it, "Aaa! Perfecto Ab I love you and those hands that make my coffee."

"Deary I am old enough to be you're grandfather." He teased and the girl fell into a fit of giggles, "That was funny. I love you're sense of humour."

"I love you're sense of alcohol." He smiled at her his blue eyes twinkling, "My best customer."

"Why thank you. Hay can you get me some passes for Sunday's theatrical? I really need a good laugh." She smiled the man looked sceptical, "Please – pretty please?"

"All right I'll send them over." He muttered defeated, "Don't tell Albus where you got them from though."

"Lips are sealed." She replied making a gesture with her hands, the older man chucked, "Go kid – you'll need some rest in this rate."

"I do – have a nice day." She muttered hopping of and walking out sipping her drink, for the first time in her life she really felt bad about her life and her destiny. Her mind was working in the same path as she went home and slammed the door. The seen that met her made her smile, "Papa?"

"Hi Princess." He greeted her as she jumped on him hugging him, "Now would you please come to school with me? I need you to take a look at something."

"Today papa?" she asked looking at him confused, "Today princess."

"Mind if I change? There is a dinner at daddy's place today." She asked he nodded, "Give me fifteen minutes."
