A Curse of Ancients
C8: What's In A Name
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
The following morning the entire family, minus Andromeda, Nymphadora and Fleur stepped into Gringotts, all of them dressed like proper purebloods, Hermione aided in this by one of Nymphadora's dresses, since the Metamorphmagus hated any sort of fancy dress but had plenty of dresses for Hermione to use.
Narcissa led the pack with Fabian and Hermione right behind her while Luna and Bellatrix brought up the rear as they made a beeline for the main teller. "Good morning, we have come to prove a lineage."
The Goblin looked at them over his glasses. "Is that so, and whose lineage have you come to prove? We have not been informed of any changes in the ancient bloodlines."
"We will discuss this matter only in private. It is very sensitive information that we do not wish to share without some official representation." Narcissa said in her usual haughty tone.
The Goblin nodded and motioned for them to follow to a private room. "We are in private Madam Black, now may I inquire who is the assumed heir?"
Narcissa nodded as they took a seat. "The heir is one Hermione Jean Granger, heir to the Le Fay bloodline. We have a blood test and an original birth certificate as proof. If need be we can also produce a Prophecy as evidence."
The Goblin nodded and examined Hermione's birth certificate meticulously. "May I ask for a drop of your blood, Ms. Granger. We Goblins have ways to determine its authenticity."
"Of course, all I want is to know the truth that was hidden from me." Hermione said with a soft smile.
The Goblin nodded and pricked her offered finger with a small dagger, gathering a drop of blood that he dropped on her birth certificate, showing lines of Gobbledegook along its edges. "I see, it seems young Ms. Granger is indeed the heir to the Le Fay bloodline. I shall fetch your accounts liaison to help you claim your rightful heritage, Ms. Le Fay."
Hermione merely nodded as the Goblin gave a slight bow before backing out of the room. "That was easier than I thought. I expected a lot more documents that I would need to sign." She said softly.
Narcissa smiled at her. "That is yet to come Hermione. Because yours is an ancient bloodline, it makes sense that you have a special liaison to handle your account. He will probably have all of the documentation available."
Hermione nodded and relaxed a little until an older Goblin entered the room with a binder under his arm. "I never thought it was possible in my lifetime. It is a tremendous honor to meet you Ms. Le Fay. My name is Ripper, the liaison for your account, like my father and grandfather before me."
"It is good to meet you Ripper. I look forward to working with you." Hermione said respectfully.
Ripper nodded and grinned at her. "Likewise Ms. Le Fay. There are a few things for you to sign before I can take you to your Vault. I must also ask if you have already heard your Prophecy, which I expect you have given your present company."
"You would be right in your assumption, and it is another thing we will need to arrange today. I want to officially appoint Bellatrix and Narcissa Black as my guardians until I come of age." Hermione said kindly.
"That is easy to arrange Ms. Le Fay. That you are already connected to the Black Family will only help matters. Your ancestor made sure of that before she was killed." Ripper said with a kind smile as he laid out several documents for her to sign.
Hermione looked them over critically, adding and removing a few things that she thought were needed. Eventually she signed the Heritage document, making her the official Le Fay heir, the document for ownership of her Vault, the Guardianship document that would make Bellatrix and Narcissa her guardians and finally the document which signed over Morgana's properties and possessions in her name. "Are these all of the properties Morgana owned? It seems so little."
Ripper nodded sadly at that. "Unfortunately they are, Ms. Le Fay. King Arthur and his court went to extreme lengths to make sure that most of her properties did not survive her downfall. Only a handful that she managed to protect survived the onslaught. Her wealth and secrets survived in her castle and here in the Vault. She was the one that set us free from Wizard enslavement and we thought it only right to protect her assets."
Hermione smiled at that. "Thank you for your openness, Ripper. It is very much appreciated. Is it at all possible to visit my Vault today?"
"Of course Ms. Le Fay, but I am afraid only one person can accompany you. I do hope you understand." Ripper said kindly.
Hermione nodded and shared a smile with her boyfriend. "It's okay you two, we'll go and get started on Luna's school shopping, shall we meet at Flourish and Blotts in an hour?" Narcissa asked with a soft smile.
Hermione and Fabian nodded before giving their family a hug and then following Ripper to the carts that would lead them to the Vaults.
Bellatrix and Narcissa led Luna out of the bank with a soft smile, their arms linked with those of the young blonde's. "Is everything okay Luna? You look a bit sad."
Luna smiled at them. "I'm okay. It's just that I need to get used to not have unlimited access to Fabian anymore. It has been the two of us against the world for a long time, and now that he is bonded to Hermione just takes some getting used to."
The two women smiled at her. "Give it time, Luna. They're figuring out the intricacies of their relationship and how everything surrounding that will fit. He will never abandon you, on the contrary. I would like to think that the three of you will be quite the trio to be reckoned with this year." Narcissa said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled at that. "I know, but as I said, it takes some getting used to. I'll be fine in a couple of days."
"Perhaps you should spend the night with them tonight and talk about this. I am sure they are willing to make you feel better." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Luna only smiled at them as they made their way to Madame Malkins Robes for Every Occasion.
…
Meanwhile Fabian and Hermione had stepped out of the carts in the deepest parts of the bank. "We are here, but I am afraid there is something special about Morgana's Vault. It can only be opened by the blood of her heir and her mate, so I will need you both to place your hands on the Vault door to open it. This will only need to be done the first time." Ripper said kindly.
"We understand. The artifacts in this room needed to be well protected if they are truly what we have read in her Chronicles. We won't be long either way. There are only a few items we need today." Hermione said with a kind smile.
Ripper nodded and led them to the Vault door, which was emblazoned with a stylish and golden 'M' making its origins clear. They then placed their hands in the slots that were elegantly carved into the stone, feeling a soft prick in the center of their hands as it collected their blood, the door sliding open without a sound.
"I will leave you to explore at your leisure. If you need me, you merely need to call for me." Ripper said as he bowed and backed away.
They smiled at the Goblin as they walked in. "I think you just became one of the wealthiest women in Great Britain, love. A lot of opportunities will open up for you now." Fabian said with a loving smile.
Hermione smiled and kissed him softly. "All the opportunities I need are right there with you and our family, even Dumbledore can't do anything legal against us anymore. Today Hermione Granger dies and she will be reborn as Hermione Le Fay."
He smiled at that. "No matter what your name is, you will always be the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Careful now love, otherwise we might be late. You know what that talk does to me. We came here for a reason, and it wouldn't do if we got sidetracked now." She said huskily.
"You're right, sorry love. What do we need?" He asked softly.
She smiled and kissed him. "We need Morgana's spell and ritual book, a set of rings that she enchanted for her heir and their mate and also a signet ring that will prove I am the Le Fay heir, and perhaps some money to get me through the school year."
He smiled and nodded. "Why don't you go and search for the rings and books, while I gather some money for you."
"I was hoping we could look for her books and rings together. One of them is for you after all." Hermione said with a slight pout, one she knew her lover couldn't resist.
Fabian smiled and kissed her. "Okay, you win love. You know I can't resist that look."
Hermione giggled softly and pecked his cheek as she led him deeper into her vault, both of the marveling at all of the artifacts that were stored there. "Can you imagine how much history is in this vault? How many artifacts that we can use to make an actual difference in the community."
He smiled at her. "I am sure there is a list of everything available. It would be odd not to have that, even we have a list with all of our important artifacts, and it is all up to you how you want to use them. I will be by your side every step of the way."
Hermione smiled at him. "I think there is a list of artifacts in the documentation Ripper gave me, so we can go through that at our leisure after the trial. There will be no denying my heritage anymore, not even by Dumbledore. There is nothing he can do about this anymore, especially when we get our room, which we will definitely get, because I think he wouldn't want it made public that he withheld information to the heir of one of the most ancient of bloodlines only for his own gain."
He nodded and kissed her. "I must say I like this new side of you more and more, Princess. You are becoming more of a true pureblood heir with every passing day."
"That because I have an excellent example in Narcissa. She also seems very eager to teach me everything I need to know." She said with a soft smile.
He smiled at that. "Yes, my mother is quite good at teaching proper manners, it is the only reason my Mum is still somewhat of a lady."
Hermione giggled at the mental image that brought up. "I can imagine your Mum being a bit of a rebel if she didn't have Narcissa to temper her."
"My Mum has always been prone to temper tantrums of monumental proportions, and while it apparently got better when Aunt Andi was born, and again when Narcissa was born, she needs an outlet every once in a while, which used to be the use of her rage room once they moved in together, and nights with me when the Curse manifested itself." He said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled and kissed him softly. "I think that even without the Curse at some point you would have fallen into bed with your mother and aunts. The way you interact with them is very telling and you all are very affectionate with each other."
He only smiled at that, both of them deciding to keep further talk of this for when they were back home, since they wouldn't want to be late.
…
A couple of hours later Bellatrix, Luna and Fabian stepped back out of the Floo, since Narcissa had been hell bent on getting Hermione a new wardrobe, and knowing that it was useless to argue with the blonde witch, they resigned to their fate and headed home, and to their surprise Andromeda, Nymphadora and Fleur were back already.
"Ah sister, I presume that it has been done?" Bellatrix asked once they had dusted themselves off.
"Yes Bella, it has been done. We've wiped their memories relocated them to a place Dumbledore or the Dark Lord will never look for them, but where is Hermione, we had hoped to inform her of our success." Andromeda said with a soft smile.
Bellatrix smiled at her. "Cissy took her shopping, with claims that she needs a new wardrobe with her newly claimed name, so they'll probably be gone for the rest of the afternoon."
Andromeda smiled at that. "I'm sure they'll be back in time for dinner, because we all know that Cissa will plan a momentous dinner in honor of today's events."
Bellatrix only smiled at her sister as she hooked the brunette's arm. "Shall we make preparations for that then, leave the kids up to their own devices for a few hours? I am sure your daughter and daughter-in-law can find something to do, and I just know Luna and Fabian do too."
Andromeda nodded at her as Bellatrix led her sister towards the kitchen, leaving the four alone in the den.
Nymphadora and Fleur also quickly excused themselves, claiming 'unfinished morning business' as their reason.
"So Fabe, now that we are alone, I was hoping we could talk for a bit, perhaps in your bedroom, with a lot less clothes on?" Luna asked with her usual dreamy smile.
He nodded and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Of course Lu. I think I know what this is about."
The blonde smiled at him as they made the trek to his bedroom, where upon entering a green dragon chirped happily before landing on his shoulder.
"Hello again, my sweet Gaia." He said with a soft smile as the dragon extended her neck to Luna for a scratch.
The blonde smiled and gave the dragon a loving scratch along its eye ridge. "Every time I see her there is something that has changed about her looks. She keeps getting more beautiful."
Gaia preened under the praise and rubbed her nose against Luna's cheek, which made Fabian smile at his familiar. "I have a feeling that she will absolutely gorgeous when she is fully grown, which will be a whole new problem all together, because space will be an issue then."
Luna only smiled at that. "I'm sure you and Hermione will find a solution for that when the time comes."
He only smiled and gave Gaia a scratch in her neck. "Would you mind giving me and Luna a bit of time my sweet Gaia?"
Gaia nodded and gave a sweet chirp before flying off his shoulder and down the hall, leaving Fabian and Luna alone for a bit.
"So, now that we are alone, I believe that we had something else planned." Luna said as she waved her wand to render them both naked.
He smiled and picked her up in bridal style, carrying her to the bed. "So, now that we are comfortable, what is on your mind, my Moon?"
She smiled and rested her head against his shoulder. "There is a lot on my mind, as always, but the main worry I have is that I can't seem to come to grips with the fact that I don't have unlimited access to you anymore. I just feel a bit alone now that you are definitively bonded to Hermione."
"Oh Lu, I should have thought how this would have affected you. Hermione and I have been talking about this a lot in the past few days, and she understands that we have a very special relationship." He said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled at him. "I know she understands, but it takes time for me to accept the fact that I can't come to you whenever I please."
"Even if Hermione and I are bonded now, that doesn't mean that you can't come to me whenever you need to or feel like it. Hermione loves you just as much as I do, and who knows, if all goes according to plan you will have your fiery haired princess this year." He said softly.
She smiled and kissed his cheek softly. "I know, and I am really looking forward to that, but it is still so long before we go back to school that I can't help but feel a little bit left out."
He smiled at her, knowing what was fueling these insecurities in his sister. "I think I know what is wrong Lu, and I just want you to know that it's okay to come to me or Hermione when you are starting to feel the strain. We only want to help you in any way that we can. Now what do you want me to do?"
She blushed a little at him. "I want to feel my brother inside of me, ravaging me like there is no tomorrow."
He smiled at her. "If that is what my baby sister wants, I will of course grant her wish." He said as he pulled her onto the bed and into a kiss.
Luna moaned into his mouth as he guided her down to the mattress as he let his hands roam down her body. "Please Fabian, touch me more. I'm craving your touch."
Fabian smiled and cupped her sex, feeling that she was already soaked. "You're so wet, Lu. I love it."
She whimpered in need. "It's all for you Fabian, please ravage me."
He smiled and kissed her. "Patience, my sweet Moon, you will get what you want in a minute, usually you can take a bit more teasing."
She pouted at that. "Usually I am not so desperate to get my insides rearranged by you. Please don't let me lose my mind Fabian. That would be cruel."
"I'm sorry Lu, I was merely teasing you. Are you ready?" He asked softly.
She nodded and moaned as he speared into her, knowing she loved that when she was this horny. "Yes, oh sweet Morgana yes! I needed this so much. I love the way you fill me, Fabe."
He smiled down at her as he tweaked her nipples. "You're still my horny little sex kitten, Lu. I love how your tight pussy pulls my cock in."
She smiled dreamily at him as she wrapped her legs around his waist, wanting him to fill her completely.
"You want something more, don't you Lu?" He asked softly.
Luna nodded and look at him with a needy pout. "It's been so long since I have felt your cock somewhere else, Fabian, I need you to fuck my ass today."
"Then assume the position, kitten. I would love to ravage that tight little hole of yours again." He said with a sultry smile.
She nodded and moaned as he pulled out of her so that she could get on her hands and knees and spread her cheeks for him.
Fabian then cast his Cleansing and Lubrication spell and couldn't resist pressing a lavish kiss to her puckered hole. "Such a cute little ass. You've really become addicted to having my cock in your tight little ass, haven't you, my Moon?" He said as he slowly pushed the head of his cock against her tight asshole.
Luna whimpered softly as she felt his cock slip inside of her most private hole. "Can you really blame me for that Fabian? So far every woman that had the pleasure of feeling you inside of her has become addicted to your cock, and I have been addicted to you since I was twelve, so this should not be a surprise."
He only smiled at her as he slowly started thrusting into her, both of them oblivious to the door opening, startling a bit when he felt two breasts press against his back and the scent of honey hit his nose. "You've been holding out on me love. I never knew this was also an option on the table." Hermione said seductively.
He smiled and accepted a kiss from his lover. "You never asked, my love, and I figured that would be something you would want to work up to. It may be a bit much since we've not been truly intimate for long."
Hermione smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek before she positioned herself below Luna. "Hey Luna, room for one more?" The brunette asked with a soft smile.
Luna moaned softly and nodded. "Of course 'Mione. I was hoping you would be back soon so we could enjoy my brother together."
Hermione smiled and kissed the petite blonde softly. "We were hoping that you would spend the night with us tonight, so we can show you that we both love you very much and will always try to include you, whenever you want. I know your relationship with Fabian is a special one and I won't interfere with that."
Luna smiled at her and lowered herself a little so she could properly kiss the brunette. "I can live with that, but I want you to make me a promise. If you two ever want or need a night to yourselves, I want you to tell me. I know Fabian is too much of a gentleman to say it, so I want to hear it from you." She whispered to Hermione.
Hermione only nodded and pulled the blonde down into a kiss, letting one hand roam down the younger woman's body to tease her still soaking pussy.
"Girls, as much as I love this, I am going to cum soon." Fabian said softly.
"I think you know where I want it Fabian. It is tradition by now." Luna said with a soft moan.
He smiled and nodded as he buried his cock in her ass up to the hilt, groaning softly as he shot several ropes of cum inside of her before pulling out, shooting a few more onto her back. He then sat himself down next to his lover and sister and watched with vested interest as they brought each other to a climax.
When the two girls came down from their orgasmic high's, Luna smiled at him while Hermione licked up every last drop of Fabian's cum from her back. "It almost like your cum is even more tasty when it comes from Luna's back. I would love to feel that sensation for myself soon." Hermione said as the two girls cuddled up to him, both of them resting their heads on his chest.
He smiled at her. "I think we will evolve to that naturally, Princess. There is no need to rush anything."
She smiled and kissed him softly as the three heard a soft chirp coming from the door. "Come on up sweetie. Mommy and Daddy are done for now."
Gaia chirped happily and flew up onto the bed, settling herself against Hermione's side before falling asleep.
"She's so spoiled. Chances are that she will want to spend all of her time with you two." Luna said with a soft smile.
Hermione and Fabian smiled at that. "Probably, but I don't think either of us mind that. She'll come with us to school and has her own space in our new room, so she won't have to feel lonely anymore." Fabian said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled at that, but kept quiet as not to disturb the peace that had now settled over them, and seeing that both Fabian and Hermione had already succumbed to sleep, she figured she would join them in their nap.
…
Later that afternoon Narcissa stepped into the room, seeing the three curled up together and Gaia still sound asleep on top of Hermione. She cleared her throat and smiled as they woke up. "Good afternoon sleepy heads. Normally I wouldn't interrupt such a sweet sight, but there are some things that require attention, and Bella wanted some mother-daughter time with Luna."
The three groaned softly and even Gaia gave a tired and unhappy croon. "I know you three had a very productive afternoon, but if we want to be ready for Dumbledore tomorrow, we will have to. There are some last things to for you to sign, and even some things for the two of you to sign, because apparently Morgana had a will that required her heir and her mate of Prophecy to become active."
Fabian and Hermione nodded at her. "If you could give us a moment to properly wake up, we'll be down in a minute." Fabian said as he stretched.
Narcissa nodded before she left them to get dressed, smiling to herself as she walked back downstairs and back into the den. "So, how did you find them, sweaty and still panting?" Bellatrix asked with a smile.
"No, more cuddled up with a dragon sleeping on Hermione's stomach. They were sounds asleep. The room smelt of sex though, so they certainly got busy at some point." Narcissa said as she sat herself down primly in one of the chairs.
Bellatrix smiled at that. "I expected that to be honest, given everything Luna told us in the Alley. I hope they've come to an agreement until Luna is ready to find love."
Narcissa smiled at her sister. "I think they have, they looked too at peace not to have reached an agreement satisfactory to all three of them."
Bellatrix merely smiled as Fabian, Hermione and Luna walked in, Gaia proudly sitting on Fabian's shoulder as usual. "Good afternoon, my sweets. I trust you all had an enjoyable afternoon?"
They all nodded at that as Luna took a seat next to the raven haired witch. "One of the best ever mother. It was an amazing afternoon." Luna said with a dreamy smile.
Bellatrix smiled at her. "Since Cissy needs Fabian and Hermione for some things, I am going to show you something special, now that you are an official part of the family."
Luna smiled brightly at her as they made their way down to the basement, while Narcissa led Fabian and Hermione to the library. "What are these documents about, Narcissa. I thought we signed everything at Gringotts?" Hermione asked with a soft smile.
Narcissa smiled at the brunette. "Everything concerning your heritage, yes, but these are for your properties and everything that needs to go to the Ministry. I have already made sure that these will be filed with priority, so they'll be processed by the time your hearing starts tomorrow. I also managed to recruit a few powerful families to your cause tomorrow, so the chances of Dumbledore fucking you over just went down considerably."
Hermione smiled as they took a seat. "Chance of that happening were slim to begin with, but I am grateful that you went out of your way to do this for me."
Narcissa smiled at her. "That speaks for itself sweetie. You are our ward now, and as your guardians we want to make sure that your life will be as easy as possible going forward. All you need to focus on is the things you two want to accomplish this year, whether that coincides with Dumbledore's plans or not."
Hermione smiled at the blonde as Narcissa pulled a few documents out. "Since all your properties were seized by the Ministry when Morgana died, and they will all be transferred to you when you sign these documents, most importantly her Castle on a long forgotten island that was under her wards, only you will be able to unlock the wards, no one within the Ministry has been able to break through them, so expect a lot of ancient artifacts when you go there." Narcissa said with a soft smile.
"I figured that is where she would leave her most powerful items. It is also probably where she was buried. I read that she was buried somewhere only her heir could find, so the Castle would make sense." Hermione said as she signed her name under the document signing her properties back in her name.
Narcissa smiled at that. "Perhaps after the hearing you two should visit the Castle. Maybe there is anything that might help you in the coming year."
Hermione and Fabian shared a look and then smiled at the blonde. "I think that is a very good idea, don't you think love?" Hermione asked with a soft smile.
Fabian smiled and kissed her cheek. "Whatever you wish, Princess."
Narcissa smiled at them. "I'm glad that after everything you still have your manners, sweetie."
He smiled at that. "Just as you taught me, mother. I am sure you would find a way to scold me like I was little if I ever forgot my manners."
"You can be sure of that, Fabian. Within these walls every woman in this house might spread their legs for you, myself included, but to the outside we have to portray the image of a proper pureblood family. That will help us survive this conflict and the turmoil that is sure to follow it." Narcissa said with her usual haughty tone.
Fabian smiled at her and flashed Hermione a wink. "Is that so auntie? Within these walls you will spread your legs for me? How about for Hermione? Would you spread your legs for her as well?" He asked with a sultry smile.
Narcissa blushed as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, while Hermione stalked up to her. "You both know that I will, but not here. The sanctity of this library must not be defiled. You know this."
They smiled and gave the blonde a kiss. "We were only teasing you Narcissa. I would never defile the sanctity of any library, even though Fabian has suggested us doing it at least once in the library at Hogwarts."
"I don't think Madam Pince would be very appreciative of that, even though you have gotten away with it more than once according to your sister and cousin." She said with a quirked eyebrow to her son.
Now he blushed as he released her. "In my defense, last year I didn't have any choice. Umbridge had all of our usual hook-up spots under surveillance, but the library is the one place she couldn't close because of its necessity. Dora on the other hand I take full responsibility for. She wanted to do it at least once at school and I certainly wasn't going to stop her."
Hermione smiled at that. "What about Fleur love? You never told me how you talked her out of her panties."
"I was wondering about that myself. It must've taken a lot of convincing to get a woman from a family like hers to give up her virginity to a fifteen year old." Narcissa said with a soft smile as she took a seat.
He smiled and followed her example as Hermione cuddled into him. "It actually wasn't that hard to be honest. Fleur was just as much responsible for the flirting we did. She told me that she sensed something in me that connected us on some level, which we by now know is the Curse and Dora, but I digress. Fleur actually seduced me to come with her the first time we were somewhat intimate, because that was a quick blowjob behind the Beauxbatons carriage. The first time we actually had sex was all on me though. I figured I would return the favor, so I took her back to the Black Lake where we got down and dirty, quite literally, I might add."
"How so love? Surely you two didn't do it in the mud?" Hermione asked with a giggle.
"Of course not, we merely rolled into it during our tryst, so afterwards we went for round two in the lake, which is not as warm as they make it seem in late May." He said with a smile.
The two women smiled at that. "I wondered why you kept shivering at breakfast. That was the night before she left, wasn't it?"
He nodded and smiled at her. "It was, she said she wanted to end our time together the right way."
Hermione smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder, the three of them talking the afternoon away until Edi informed them that dinner was ready.
