Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters

That Saturday the Coven once again found themselves in their room with Hermione and Nymphadora, the two girls cuddled up together on the couch with a total of six potion bottles in front of them.

"So let me get this straight. These potions will help you perceive your gifts and help us interpret them, especially Luna's gifts?" Nymphadora asked softly.

They all nodded at that. "It will of course be very muted for you, but it will help you understand what we are going through and will also make you privy to what we see and feel, making it safer for us all when we need to discuss something that cannot wait. Especially Luna's last vision shook us all tremendously and solidified our belief that we can never trust Dumbledore."

Hermione nodded at that. "I understand, may we ask what it was you saw Luna?"

Luna smiled at them. "If you drink the potion you will see it Hermione, that I promise, but it is too difficult for me to talk about."

Again the brunette nodded as she took her bottle and downed its contents. "I'm glad your Coven has found ways to make these potions taste better than the regular potions." She said before being struck with a sort of summary of the vision Luna had earlier in the week."

"That utter bastard. How dare he interject himself in the lives of people in this manner, we should take this to the authorities." She said with a near growl.

That was enough for Nymphadora to down her potion as well, and as she was hit with the same vision tear sprung into her eyes. "I promise to contact Ms. Bones as soon as possible. She will want to see this too, and she will be able to bring him to justice for his actions. Dumbledore will likely get a lengthy stay in Azkaban for this, and if he does not, he will have his magic bound, forcing him to live a Muggle life." Nymphadora said with conviction.

"It's not only him though. This goes deeper than that. In my vision at least Moody was involved. We need to find out who else is implicated in this plot, and equally important, how deep this goes." Luna said softly.

Hermione smiled at her. "It wouldn't surprise me if this goes as deep as the Ministry. Did you feel anything specific from Dumbledore during that meeting?"

Fabian smiled at her."Nothing beyond his usual need to control and deception, but I must admit Bella would be better suited to find out those things, but we will have to be careful in how we play that, at least not while the Umbitch is here. That is too dangerous."

They all nodded at that. "Agreed, but there must be a way we can see if we can break people free from his spells, if he has ongoing spells on people." Hermione said softly.

"I 'ave found exactly the spell for that. We can cast that on the entrance of the room so that everyone who comes in is 'scanned', as Muggles like to say, for spells that are cast on them, I think we could make that ward in such a way it not only detects compulsion charms, but also cleanses them at the same time. The same could work for memory charms. I'm sure we could layer the ward in such a way that we could cleanse anything Dumbledore has done to a person just by letting them step into our room." Fleur said with a smile.

Hermione smiled at that. "I think between the six of us we can create something like that, although I know that Fabian sometimes struggles with Charms."

Fabian smiled at her. "I'm more than content to do the research, 'Mione. I know I wouldn't be of much help in the actual casting other than lending my magic to my mates."

Hermione smiled and went to hug him. "You know I mean no harm in it Fabian. We all have our specialties."

He nodded at that as she retook her seat. "Now, on to other business. Aside from Harry, who are we willing to trust?"

"Aside from our family, we can trust at least Ginny and Professor Sinestra. Ginny mainly because we believe she is Gabrielle's mate. We'll have to wait until Christmas break to confirm that though. Sinestra has already said she wants to talk to us to catch up with Bella a little. Apparently my mate and our Astronomy Professor were a thing back when they went to school." Luna said with a smile.

Hermione and Nymphadora smiled at that. "That's so cute. I heard Mom say that there was something between them, but she never elaborated."

"We may know why. Andromeda used to be more inclined to witches than to wizards, but according to Luna's vision, Dumbledore had a hand in her choosing Ted in the end, knowing full well the Black Curse would work for Nymphadora once she was born. I noticed something was wrong when Andi from one day to the next followed Ted around like a love sick puppy, which was not how my sister acted back then. So my guess is that Dumbledore used a compulsion charm to get her to think she was in love with Ted, and he knew that would get her disowned, which he hoped would drive a wedge between the three of us. I'm sure he did the same for Cissa, but he didn't take into account that her mental prowess is greater than his own, so he settled for framing me in the First War and got me sent off to Azkaban without a trial. He tried to do the same with Sirius." Bellatrix said softly as she cuddled into Luna a bit more.

Luna wrapped her arms around her raven haired witch and smiled at her. "It's okay love, there are plenty of things we can do to make sure that we can check Andi and Narcissa aren't under compulsion charms, although I am pretty sure Cissa isn't. Still, we can only check this at Christmas, so until then we should focus our efforts on those we can trust inside the school."

Hermione smiled at the blonde as she slowly caressed Nymphadora's sides in comfort. "I think we can trust McGonagall as well. She trusts us and seemed more than okay with the news of our Coven. We should at least invite her here to talk to her."

"We can do that, but we should 'ave the wards up before we invite 'er. If Dumbledore put 'er under memory or compulsion charms, we will know and can tell 'er that." Fleur said with a smile.

They all nodded at that. "We can do that, so in light of that, I think I have some required reading to do." Fabian said as he summoned the Chronicles to him.

Hermione smiled at him. "Fabe, you're doing it again."

He blushed a little at that as he put the Chronicles down on the table. "Sorry 'Mione. I just can't help myself because of everything we have discovered Dumbledore has done to us. He has in one form or another affected all of us. I'm even willing to bet that he has tried to do something to you and Dora too."

Hermione and Nymphadora both gasped at that. "That might explain why I felt so inclined to be Ron's friend even though he has treated me horribly. Could you check?"

Bellatrix smiled and nodded. "Of course Hermione. I think I saw a spell in the Chronicles that can help us." She said as she quickly flipped through the pages of the Chronicles. "There it is. Could you stand for me Hermione? It will work best if there is as little interference as possible."

Hermione nodded and stood in the center of the room while Bellatrix summoned her wand to her. "Veritatem Revelare."

A thin blue line floated towards Hermione's head and they looked as the brunette's eyes glazed over, which told Bellatrix all she needed to know. "It seems Hermione has been affected by both a memory charm and a compulsion charm. I think I can remove it too."

"Please do Aunt Bella. She deserves to know the truth, and if you feel up to it, I was hoping you could try it on me too." Nymphadora said softly.

Bellatrix nodded at her. "I can and I will Dora. Perhaps we should contact Andi as well. Because I think her memory might be corrupted too."

At that moment there was a noticeable shift in magic as a Floo appeared in the room. "Well that's convenient. I'll go and ask her if she can come through, and bring Narcissa and Eliza as well."

Bellatrix nodded at that. "I think this room works a lot as the Room of Requirement, just for our family's purposes. I'll cast the spell to bring Hermione's memories back."

Nymphadora nodded at her before walking to the Floo, while Bellatrix turned her attention back to Hermione. "Corruptelas Purgare." She incanted as she waved her wand in a complicated gesture.

Hermione clutched at her head and screamed in pain as the sudden influx of memories flooded her brain.

"Oh Hermione, sweetie. What's wrong? What did you do to her Bella?" Andromeda asked irritably as she hurried out of the Floo and towards the brunette.

"I gave her back her memories and removed a compulsion charm. We have found out a lot of information recently which prompted this. We suspect something similar has been done to most of us, including you, Eliza and Cissa."

Andromeda smiled and hugged Hermione tightly. "Are you okay sweetie?" She asked the brunette softly.

Hermione nodded. "I am. I see everything so much clearer now, but I can't understand something. Why do I have these memories of you before I even met you?"

Andromeda and Nymphadora both looked shocked at that. "Bella, could you cast that spell on me too? Perhaps I can give my daughter some answers."

Bellatrix nodded at her. "Of course I can Andi. All we want is for you to know the truth as well. We were all manipulated here."

Andromeda smiled at her sister. "It seems we have been. I'm ready whenever you are Bella."

Bellatrix smiled at her. "I did promise Dora first, so I will honor that promise. I think it would also be beneficial to do this with members of the Order that we can trust."

Andromeda nodded and took a seat with Hermione, who was still shaking a little from the sudden influx of memories.

Bellatrix then turned her attention on the slightly nervous Nymphadora, repeating her spells much to the same result as Hermione, doing the same for Andromeda afterwards.

Andromeda then blinked and grasped at Hermione. "I am so sorry sweetie. Had I known who you truly were I would have come looking for you so much sooner."

"What do you mean Andi?" Both Narcissa and Bellatrix asked.

"You remember the time when Dora was two years old and I went away for almost a year. I was pregnant again and I forgot all about it thanks to that bastard. Hermione is my daughter." Andromeda said softly.

Everyone gasped at that. "Do you know who her father is Andi?" Eliza asked softly.

Andromeda nodded at her. "Yes, I do, Robert is her father, on Dumbledore's orders he raped both of us."

Hermione smiled at her. "So I went from having no actual family and being a Muggleborn to having a huge family and being a pureblood. The circumstances are surely less than ideal, but we will make that bastard pay for everything he has done to our family."

Andromeda smiled at her. "We can and we will make sure that happens, I will also make sure to get the original copy of your birth certificate, so we won't let the old man interfere."

"And you're still okay with Hermione and I being together Mum?" Nymphadora asked softly.

Andromeda smiled at her. "Of course I am, you're still her mate, there is no getting around that. All that is different now is that you have also gained a sister."

Nymphadora smiled and went to hug her mother and sister. No one will be able to break our family apart, never again."

"When we get back home we will set in motion everything we need for you to claim your birthright, Hermione. You are technically the oldest Black now, since you are a few weeks older than Fabian, but I believe there is something Andromeda wanted to tell you while we are here." Narcissa said with a smile.

Andromeda smiled at that. "Indeed I have. In the last few weeks I have found love again, very close to home in fact. It turns out that I am Juliette's mate, and we have been hard at work on getting to know each other."

Fleur smiled brightly at her. "That is amazing. I am so 'appy for you both. My Gran-mere deserves to be 'appy after so many years alone."

"Your mother said the same thing. I hope I can be a worthy mate to Juliette." Andromeda said softly.

Fleur smiled at her. "I 'ave no doubt of that. I consider myself a good judge of character and the way you took in 'ermione showed me everything I needed to know about your character."

Andromeda smiled at that. "Thank you Fleur, that means a lot to me."

Fleur only smiled at her, while Bellatrix set to work casting her spells on Eliza, Narcissa, Fabian and Fleur, having effect on everyone besides her younger sister, and when she was done, she slumped back onto the couch. "It's been a while since I had to use so much magic in one sitting. I'll be alright in a few minutes."

"Then we'll get started on some things for when you come home for the Holidays. Thank you all for everything." Narcissa said with a smile.

Fabian and the girls smiled at her. "Don't mention it Mum. We were glad to do it."

Narcissa smiled and hugged him, being followed by Eliza who did the same. "We'll see you soon sweetie. Stay safe." Eliza said softly.

Fabian nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "I will Mom."

Eliza smiled as she followed Narcissa and Andromeda to the Floo, giving them all a wave goodbye before stepping through.

…

The following day Fleur, Bellatrix and Luna woke up early, having a day of Potion brewing and spell research planned, but the first thing they noticed was that Fabian was nowhere to be found, which was rather odd on a Sunday.

"Correct me if I'm wrong girls, but shouldn't there be a stud in bed with us?" Luna asked softly.

Bellatrix and Fleur nodded as Fleur still blindly groped for their lover. "There should be, and judging by the temperature of 'is side, 'e 'as been out of bed for a while." Fleur said softly.

"I can still hear him in my head though. He's in the living room with Hermione. We should give them some time. Yesterday must've been hard for both of them. They will need each other in the coming months. They're probably doing research on the wards we are going to place." Bellatrix said softly.

Luna and Fleur smiled at her. "We should leave them to their research then, because Fabian can get cranky if someone interrupts his research."

"Then I think we should 'elp each other a little this morning, non? Since I know you are feeling the same as I am." Fleur said huskily.

"Since we have never done it with just the three of us, I think we can indulge ourselves in each other's bodies a little. It never hurts to know every single inch of your lover's body after all. It is something I know Bellatrix has taught Fabian." Luna said with a dreamy smile.

Bellatrix blushed as she was pinned to the mattress by the two blondes. "I 'ope you don't mind us indulging ourselves with your body, mon amour. You 'ave so much more to play with then we 'ave."

"Are you two saying that I'm fat?" Bellatrix asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"Of course not love, but you do have all these sexy curves that we lack." Luna said as she ran her nails down the insides of Bellatrix' legs, making the raven haired witch moan loudly.

Fleur smiled and kissed her lover deeply while teasing one of her lover's nipples erect. "She is right, mon amour. Your curves always drive us wild."

Bellatrix moaned loudly again and tangled a hand in Fleur's silky hair, while her other squeezed the ample flesh of the French Veela's butt. "Have I told you how much this delicious ass of yours?"

"I don't think you 'ave, but I will never mind hearing it, especially not when it comes from my lovers." Fleur said as she slung a leg over Bellatrix, kissing the raven haired witch deeply.

Luna smiled at the loving words. "Well I guess that leaves me to pleasure you both then, I've always wanted to try that."

Both Bellatrix and Fleur smiled at her. "Be our guest love, and we'll return the favor afterwards."

Luna didn't answer but instead started eating out Bellatrix lovingly, while she also slipped two fingers into Fleur, fingering the blonde slowly.

The two witched moaned loudly as they kissed and teased each other's nipples, Fleur unconsciously grinding into Bellatrix as Luna slowly brought her to heaven. "Luna, cherí, zis is torture."

Luna smiled at her before switching her fingers to Bellatrix and applying her mouth to Fleur's pussy. "I thought you liked a bit of teasing love."

Fleur moaned loudly, although the moan was swallowed by Bellatrix kissing her deeply and pinching her nipples at the same time.

Wanting to try a spell she found in their Chronicles, Luna pulled back for a minute as she muttered a quick spell, which made two spectral cocks sprout from her clit, both of them as long and thick as Fabian's. "Turn over on your sides, my loves. That will make the following a lot easier for all of us.

The two women looked at her, eyes widening when they saw what had happened to their petite lover. "Did you find that in the Chronicles, love?" Fleur asked softly.

Luna nodded and kissed them both as the two women laid down on their sides, facing each other with their legs entangled to give their lover all the access she needed.

As Luna positioned herself and slipped her spectral cocks into her lovers, all three of them moaning loudly as she started pumping into them.

"It feels almost as if Fabian is here with us now, it feels exactly the same when he fucks us." Bellatrix said with a loud moan.

Luna smiled and kissed her raven haired lover softly. "That is what is supposed to feel like. Our ancestors have invented it for exactly this situation."

Both of them smiled and kissed their petite lover softly as she kept pumping into them. "Unfortunately I do not have Fabian's stamina, and being inside of you feels so amazing that I'm close already."

"Then cum mon amour. We are ready and very willing to receive your liquid gift." Fleur said huskily.

Luna smiled and was quickly pulled into a threeway kiss as she came, and much to both Fleur and Bellatrix' surprise, they felt how artificial semen filled them, making them moan out their own orgasms.

As they rode out their high's and Luna dispelled her cocks, they fell against each other, tired but sated for the moment. "Zat was amazing. We are definitely doing zat again, perhaps Fabian would like to join us for zis next time." Fleur said softly, her voice heavy with her accent.

Bellatrix smiled at her. "Maybe we can do one better. Make it a true group sex experience. I have wondered what it would feel like to have all my holes filled at the same time."

"We'll talk about that when our lover is here. For now I just want to rest with you two a bit before we go and look at the potions." Luna said with a dreamy smile as she cuddled up between her lovers.

Fleur and Bellatrix smiled and wrapped their arms around her and each other, the three resting a little in the wake of their lovemaking.

...

In the living room Hermione had cuddled up to her half-brother, tears stains on her cheeks. "How could we not have known Fabe? Why would Dumbledore keep this from us?"

He rubbed her back softly. "I don't know 'Mione. I think he is afraid of what would happen if he had told the truth to everyone. You know he wants to control everything, and this is just another way of him wanting to control us. We'll get through this together and make sure he is held accountable for everything he has done to us, your Mom is very good friends with Amelia Bones if I am not mistaken."

Hermione smiled at him. "Yes she is and I am sure Ms. Bones will do everything in her power to get to the bottom of this."

"As will we 'Mione. We will make sure to gather as much evidence as possible to make sure he will face up to what he has done, not just to us, but to everyone." He said softly.

Hermione smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. "Why are you always so good at telling me exactly what I need to hear. Only you and Dora have that ability."

He smiled at her. "Both are easily explained though. Dora is your mate and I have a gift of Empathy, so I can see how you are feeling and try to help accordingly."

Hermione smiled at that. "Honestly I'm glad I don't have your gift. I would go stark raving mad if I had to see that all in my head."

He smiled at that. "It's very muted thanks to that potion. I don't think I could've handled it if I felt everything fully."

Hermione smiled at him. "I can imagine, but I think we should get started on those wards, after I have freshened up a little. I must look like a raccoon."

He laughed lightly at that. "A very cute raccoon then. I'll look up the spells while you freshen up a little."

"You don't get to call me cute anymore Fabe. There are three very possessive women in that bedroom that I would rather keep on my side, not to mention what Dora would do or say." Hermione said softly.

He smiled at her. "I'm sure I will not be the first brother in history that calls his sister cute. You know I meant nothing by it."

Hermione smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. "I was teasing you Fabe, and I am sure I am far from the first sister in history to do so."

He smiled at her and stuck his tongue out at her before she made her way to her bedroom, while he started looking for the spells they would need for their wards.

While he was looking Bellatrix came into the living room, draping herself across his back. "Hey love, working hard?" She asked softly.

He smiled and kissed her softly. "I'm just looking for the spells Hermione and I are going to use for the wards, what about you? I figured you girls would be busy in the Lab at least until lunch."

"I've been banished to the living room because I am too much of a distraction to our lovers, and while your mother has accused me of this for years, it seemed Fleur and Luna had a lot of trouble not looking at me." Bellatrix said softly.

He smiled as she crawled in his lap. "I don't think I can blame them. You can be very distracting when you are being seductive."

Bellatrix smiled at him. "I figured, it might not have helped that I didn't bother getting dressed after we made love this morning."

"That must have been it. Seeing your boobs bounce around can be very distracting, not to mention what the sight of your naked body does to us." He said softly.

She smiled and kissed him deeply as she straddled him, trailing her hand under his shirt and raking her nails across his chest slowly.

"Aunt Bella, that is something I did not need to see this early in the morning." Hermione said with a bright blush.

Bellatrix smiled and pecked his lips before getting off him. "Sorry Hermione. I just couldn't help myself, and may I say that it warms my heart when you call me Aunt?"

Hermione smiled at her. "I've been thinking a lot last night and this morning, and I want to make an effort to integrate myself into the family that was stolen from me. I've talked about this with both Fabian and Dora and I think that with a bit of guidance I will make my family proud."

Bellatrix smiled and pulled the bushy haired brunette into a hug. "I know your mother is very proud of you, and if you want I would gladly help you with anything you want to know about being a Black, although I would warn you about Cissa's etiquette lessons. She tends to get a bit carried away with those."

Hermione smiled and nodded. "Mom warned me about those as well, although I don't think it would hurt. I feel so out of place sometimes."

"Everyone will help you with that 'Mione, although I think I won't be much use in that department, but I will help where I can, like a good brother should." Fabian said with a smile.

Hermione smiled and hugged him. "Thank you Fabian. You don't know what it means to me that I can finally call you my brother."

He only smiled and placed a kiss on the top of her head. "You've always been my sister 'Mione. This just makes it official. I just regret the way it happened."

"It's okay Fabian. We'll make him pay as a family, together with anyone else he may he manipulated to his sick games." She said with a smile.

He nodded at that. "Shall we change the subject for a bit. I think we've worked ourselves up enough for today. We will need clear heads to cast the wards."

Hermione nodded and smiled as she sidled up next to him, while Bellatrix once again took a seat in his lap.

He smiled and pressed a kiss to the tattoo on the back of her neck and wrapped his arms around her waist as he flipped to the page which held the Coven's invented spells. "It seems we are not the first Coven to deal with this issue. Our ancestors have created plenty of spells that will purge whatever compulsion or memory charm present on a person."

Bellatrix and Hermione both smiled at that. "We can easily layer then in such a way that it will cover the entire entryway and make it permanent too. All we have to figure out is how to mute the reaction to it. Mine and Mom's were pretty violent. We also have to make sure that only memory charms and compulsions placed by Dumbledore or Tom will be affected." Bellatrix said softly.

"Maybe we could also find a way where we can store the purged memories in a vial so that they can be viewed through a Pensieve. It would make gathering evidence a lot easier." Fabian said with a thoughtful look.

Bellatrix smiled and kissed him softly. "The spell I used on the others already does that, so we have those, but I think for the wards we should do it, perhaps we could even make it so that the vials are automatically named as well. It would save Ms. Bones a lot of work."

"Why don't we get started on the wards Aunt Bella, then Fabian can maybe find some more things we could use in the future." Hermione said with a smile.

Bellatrix nodded and gave her lover a kiss before standing up while Hermione opened the door, since the wards they were going to use were going to be cast on the entryway of their room.

Fabian in the meantime kept searching the Chronicles for spells the two women could use in the wards, or even spells that could be useful in the future.

He could feel Bellatrix drawing on his magic as they cast the wards, and he was glad to give it to her, given the passionate morning his lovers had and how it had affected her yesterday. He had felt everything they had done to each other and it had taken a lot of willpower not to embarrass himself in front of his newfound sister.

As he watched his lover and sister cast the wards on the entrance of their room, he had to smile at them, both of them working already completely in sync to protect their room and by extension their Coven. All he now hoped was that the wards would do what they were intended to, although he had little doubt it would. The wards were created by the two brightest witches of their generations after all.

Bellatrix noticed her lover's thoughts and smiled as she and Hermione finished casting the wards, noticing how Professor McGonagall walked towards them, seemingly with purpose.

"Good morning Ms. Black. I hope you are enjoying your second stay at Hogwarts so far?" The Professor asked in her Scottish brogue as she walked up to them.

Bellatrix smiled at her. "I am, Professor, thank you for asking. Would you like to come in for a bit?"

McGonagall smiled and nodded. "I was hoping I could talk to you and your mates for a bit if that is okay?"

Hermione and Bellatrix shared a quick look before smiling at each other. "Of course Professor, you are always welcome here. Love, could you go and get Fleur and Luna?" Bellatrix asked with a smile to her lover.

He nodded and made his way to the bedroom, knowing his lovers were probably still in the lab when he found the bedroom empty.

As he walked into the lab, he had to contain a laugh at the sight of his frazzled mates. "Hello lovers, working hard?" He asked with a smile.

The two blondes smiled at him. "Yes we are love, but we're nearly done with our latest batch of potions."

He smiled and kissed them both softly. "Professor McGonagall is here and wants to talk to us, so Bella sent me to come and get you."

Luna and Fleur smiled at him. "Could you give us one minute love, our potion is in a critical stage."

He nodded and took a look into the cauldrons, seeing a bright yellow potion bubbling there. "What are these potions? I've never seen this color before.

"This love, is the improved antidote to Veritaserum. It is supposed to work quicker and without the side effects of the normal antidote." Fleur said with a loving smile.

Fabian smiled at that. "Perhaps we can ask Severus to supply us with a vial. It is the easiest and safest way to test the antidote."

"That was my plan, mon amour. We can easily test this within our Coven." Fleur said with a smile as Luna pulled the cauldrons from the fire.

He smiled at her as she and Luna checked the cauldrons. They just need to cool off for a bit, so we're ready to talk to Professor McGonagall." Luna said with a smile.

He smiled and wrapped an arm around their waists as they made their way back to the living room, and upon entering they saw Bellatrix handing a glass of water to McGonagall, who looked visibly upset.

"Is everything alright Professor?" He asked with a kind smile.

McGonagall smiled at him. "I am Fabian, thank you. I just need to have a very stern talk to a certain Headmaster about memory charms and consent."

He nodded at that. "Well since he did the same to everyone in this room and my mother, I think you would have to get in line, not to mention all of the other things he is responsible for."

McGonagall smiled at that. "We'll talk about that another time. I have come today to talk to you about something. My own ancestor was very involved in the previous Coven, and I would like to offer my services to you as well, if that is something that you all want."

The Coven shared a look and smiled. "We would be honored to have your help, Professor. There are few we trust as much as you or have as much experience as you do. We can share a few things with you at this point, but want to hold off until we have confronted Dumbledore. That you are free of his compulsion does not mean he will not try again. It wouldn't surprise us to be honest."

"Trust me that he will not try this again. He caught me off guard the last time, but I will keep my mental shields up around him from now on, but having said that, I would agree with knowing as little as possible for the time being. None of you have ever given me reason to doubt, so I will not start doing that now. If there is anything I can help with, please let young Ms. Black know." McGonagall said with a smile.

Hermione smiled at her. "We will Professor, but one thing we can tell you is that Dumbledore is responsible for hiding the true circumstances of my birth. I am not a Muggleborn at all, but rather Fabian's half sister. We have the same father."

McGonagall smiled at that. "I know, that was one of the memories that Albus stole from me. Andromeda made me your Godmother."

Hermione smiled at her. "May I give you a hug then?"

McGonagall smiled at her and opened her arms. "Of course you may, and in private you may call me Minerva, if you want of course."

Hermione only nodded at her. "I would like that, Minerva."

Minerva smiled at her. "I'll take my leave for now. We'll talk more soon. I will also contact Narcissa, Eliza and Andromeda about regaining my memories. They'll want to know this as well I presume. It will certainly help build a case against Albus."

They all nodded at her before she took her leave. "So, I take it the wards worked?" Fabian asked with a smile.

"They did, and better than we thought. McGonagall suggested we add something to detect and hold charmed items that have a compulsion charm on it. She told us that Dumbledore has a knack of charming candy with compulsion charms." Hermione said with a smile.

"I'll add that tomorrow while you are in class, but for now I think we deserved a nice lunch and some quality time with our mates." Bellatrix said as she pulled Fabian onto the couch and into her side.

Hermione smiled at them as Luna and Fleur took up a spot next to Bellatrix and Fabian. "Then I think I will join my lover in bed again. She wasn't feeling well this morning and I want to see if I can help her in any way."

Fabian smiled at that. "It's her time of the month again isn't it. Dora always gets a bit queasy when it hits."

Hermione blushed at that. "Yes it is, although I am a bit embarrassed that you know when my girlfriend is on her period."

"I didn't know, but Dora lives a very healthy life and only feels sick when it is that time, so I assumed it was."

Hermione smiled and hugged them before making her way back to her bedroom, while Fabian and his lovers cuddled up close together to get some shut eye before lunch.
