It had been three years since Lana had died giving birth her twin sons. Clark had to raise their two boys Jonathan Liam, who everyone calls John or Jonny and Conner Paul by himself. Their Kryptonian names were Jon-El and Kon-El. He had to do so while fighting villains in metropolis. Louis stepped up and helped a lot when she was told Clark's secret. She even moved in with them to help them out more.
One day had come when Clark Kent was walking through a orphanage. He was writing a pice in the daily planet about it. About how his own mother, Martha Kent, was raising funds for said orphanage. She picks one orphanage a year to raise money for.
She had started it when she adopted Clark. Because of the timing of it, she has called it, 'Christmas for the Orphans'. Lex donated a lot of money to the foundation before he went all bad. Soon Clark came across this beautiful baby girl.
She was no more than a year old. She also had that familiar feel to her. Something in the back of Clark's mind told him that this was Sirius's child. Because of this Clark wondered where Sirius was. How everyone on the other side of the Atlantic were holding up.
"She doesn't have a last name." The lady named Rose said behind Clark. "She needs a home. And a good one at that."
She knew what was about to happen between the little girl and the reporter. It happened to everyone else that walked through the doors of the building.
"What was the name left to her?" Clark asked
"The note that was left with her said her name was Hermione Lyra Andromeda." Rose said
Hermione opened her eyes. Her grey eyes met with Clark's blue eyes. Hermione grabbed Clark's hand by his index finger and stuck two of his fingers into her mouth. At that moment Clark knew what he had to do. Something inside of Clark clicked when this was done. Clark picked up the little girl. Placing her on his hip. A trick he had learned from his mother while taking care of Conner and Jonathan. He turned back to Rose who was giving him the tour.
"I want to adopt her." Clark said feeling the need to protect her
Rose knew what happened. Everyone that comes in usually finds that one child each trip that they know is the one. While Rose gathered the necessary paperwork, she handed Clark the note that was left with Hermione.
'To whom it may concern, my name is Sirius. I'm not able to take care of my daughter anymore. My wife was just murdered by my cousin and I've been kicked out of my family years ago. And they don't want anything to do with me. Well Andy does but she's been kicked out too and I don't see much of her.
'My mother reluctantly told me that it wasn't safe to leave her with our relatives. That Hermione will end up just like them.
'By the time I get back to England I know I'm going to jail for something that I did not do. But they don't care. All the evidence they have was planted to make me look bad. To make me look like I lead a killer to my best friends, to my little girls godparents house.
'My little girls name is Hermione Lyra Andromeda. She was born on July 29th, 1980. Who ever takes in Hermione, please take care of her. And when she is eleven, don't be shocked to find out that she is magical.
'Sincerely Sirius Orion the third.'
But there was a post script that was only visible to Clark.
'P.S. Clark if you take Hermione I know you will take good care of her like you do with your boys after Lana had faded away in that hospital room. So be Hermione's Superman. Be the one she can look up to. Teach her the ways of Krypton like Kara did with you. Teach her the language of your people. Make her part of the house of El. Make her Mia Kal-El.'
Clark knew what Sirius meant. Lana had been magical too. She had gone to a school named Hogwarts in Scotland. So Clark knew who Sirius was. Clark had met Remus Lupin, James Potter and Lily Evans too.
They all had met at his wedding to Lana, Sirius's wedding to Marlene McKinnon, James and Lily's wedding and then at Lana's funeral. That was the last time Clark had seen Sirius or anybody magical. And based off of this letter, Clark knew Peter was the one who lead James and Lily killer to them.
By the time the paperwork was finished, Hermione was tired again. It had been a long day for her. For everyone really. Clark really wanted to get back to Conner and Jonathan who were being watched by Martha. As Louis was off on a date with Bruce Wayne.
The man came into metropolis to find a Gotham rogue by the name of the Joker.
"How was the orphanage Clark?" Martha asked when she heard her son enter the house
But her question had been answered when she saw Clark walk in with a baby in his arms. With stuff for a baby girl to live in the house.
"This is Sirius's daughter mom. You know Lana's friend?" Clark said
"Why do you have her?" Martha asked
"Marlene was murdered and Sirius dropped Hermione off at the orphanage right before he got chucked into prison for a crime he did not do." Clark said
This news shocked Martha. She had liked Sirius. He was nice to her. She could not believe the people over there. How rude.
"Are you changing her name?" Martha asked
"Only her last name. The people at the orphanage said that Sirius didn't leave a last name. Only first and middle." Clark said
"But you knew? You knew who she was?" Martha asked
"Black hair and grey eyes are only a Sirius combination mom. Everyone else over there who has grey eyes doesn't have black hair." Clark said
Conner and Jonathan ran into the living room to greet their father. They stopped when they saw a girl sitting on Clark's lap.
"Daddy who's that?" Jonny asked
Clark turned to his two boys.
"Jonny, Conner. This is your new little sister. It's your job to help me protect her." Clark said
"Okay." They both said
Over time Conner and Jonathan grew a little bit over protective of their little sister. They knew they had to be careful with her. As she didn't have Super strength or any of their abilities. Well they knew she had magic, but they were older then her.
As they grew up Conner and Jonathan knew that one of them would become Superboy their father's sidekick. But Jonathan had opted to be at Hermione's side in watchtower being one of the league's dispatchers. A bridge between the league and the normal mundane emergency serves.
But Jonathan still took the same training sessions as his brother did just in case he needed to use his powers. Like to protect Hermione. When Jonathan and Conner entered Hogwarts they were gifted with two magic resistant never dying laptops with built in WiFi from Dr. Fate aka Giovanni "John" Zatara and portable zeta tubes.
Hermione cried when they had to board the Hogwarts express that September first. She hugged them as tight as she could knowing she could never hurt them.
And when Hermione was about 3 and the boys were 5, Hermione's grandmother Walberga had moved to Metropolis. One day, about two years after Clark had adopted Hermione, Walberga had gone to the orphanage. She claimed to be looking for her granddaughter Hermione. Rose, the one who helped Clark, told her where she could find the child.
See Walberga has true seer abilities. When Marlene was visiting Walberga with Hermione on the 29th of October 1981, Marlene was murdered by Bellatrix. Walberga, on the verge of getting Sirius back into the family, quickly fire called her son. When Sirius came over, Walberga told Sirius what to do.
And Sirius never saw his daughter again.
