Samhain and Whole Again
Ellie POV
WARNING: THERE ARE SPOILERS TO THE GAME HOGWARTS; MYSTERY IN THIS CHAPTER
On our arrival at Malfoy manor, several people bombarded Hadrian and Draco with hugs. "What are you doing here Severus," someone asks. The person looked like an older version of Hadrian with a lighter shade of hair and crimson eyes instead of dark blue.
"Tom, we found Ellie. Summon the Greyback family immediately. On the first night at Hogwarts, the hat welcomed him to the school as Heir of Hogwarts. Hadrian then used that to his ability to search up about all the 3rd year girls and crossed all of them except for three very studious ones. Then take the list of three, he'd give it to Riley here to help him find out who has the most possibility of being dark. The top on the list was Elanor Thomas, 'twin' sister to Dean Thomas of Gryffindor. The research on each girl took the longest, but with the aid of Draco, Corvus and the twins he was able to finish it all yesterday. The total amount of searching took nearly 2 months." Professor Snape tells the man, Tom.
"Are you Elanor dear?" Tom asks me. I nod and he pulls me into a hug. I melt into it, he seems fatherly and friendly.
"Father let her breathe, plus I called Charlie through the link. She's gonna be jealous if she sees you hugging her little sister. The Greybacks will be here soon." Hadrian says to the man hugging me.
"Tom, what's all this ruckus? Draco, Hadrian, Severus, what are you three doing here? With two random girls nonetheless." a woman asks standing next to someone who could only be described as a more masculine, older Draco.
"I'm Elanor Greyback and this is my girlfriend and mate Riley Wilson," I explained to the two people who joined us. The woman gasps at the mention of my name. That was when the floo flared up. Three people stepped out.
"Ellie? Is that you?" the youngest of the three asks me. I nod and get engulfed in a group hug from the three people.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" I ask them. The youngest looked a little dishevelled but then explained that they were my biological family.
"Elanor I know this seems sudden but you are the seventh child of the prophecy,, Hadrian says. I stare at him in shock
"Prophecy? You only told me about a story. You have a lot of explaining to do Hadrian." I scold him for the lack of information.
"It's best that we get Will, the twins and Corvus here. Father and I are the only ones who know the true prophecy." Hadrian explains. He then looks at his ring which I notice that Charlie has a necklace with a matching symbol. The four older boys came through the floo, Will first, followed by the twins and Corvus.
"So, the prophecy?" I ask Hadrian. Giving him a death glare. The four that just came in looked at me confused for two reasons.
"Ahem. We would like to know who you are and why you're demanding something that doesn't exist from the team leader," The twins asked in unison.
"Have you forgotten that I have a sister or are you that daft," Charlie spoke up. I thank her by hugging her. The four that just walked through the floo looked dumbfounded.
"Have you forgotten about the seventh child? I mean it's in the name of the story. 'The Lost Seven' really boys." I make fun of them. I may be the youngest of the group but that doesn't mean I'm not scary. Even Hadrian shuddered at the playful scolding.
"Sorry Ellie" The twins apologize "But really what prophecy? Why are you being impatient with this? Who were you hidden as?"
"To answer the first question, Hadrian said that there was a prophecy about seven children, and I was the last. The third question was Elanor Thomas, 'twin' sister to Dean Thomas of Gryffindor. As for the second question is because next to Slytherin, my top house is Ravenclaw. I think things through the best when I have all of the information." I answer the twins rapid-fire questions.
"The prophecy of the lost seven is as states, Father and son shall reunite, To uncover the truth of the light, The seven lost home again, Shall lead a coup de main, The dark will rise, And cut all ties, With the muggle world, The muggle-borns shall be furled, The Dark means good, Uncover the Light's falsehood, Age 13 the dark lord's son, He will save everyone, The light dominates no more, The dark shall soar, Fixing the mistake of man, The light's madman, Albus Dumbledore, Will lose the war, The light and dark are even, The reunited seven." Hadrian reads aloud the poem-like prophecy. Most likely coming from a seer descending of Apollo or a prophet under his control.
"Who created this prophecy?" I ask "The entire thing is a long poem. Very cryptic, but a poem nonetheless."
"Erm- I think it was Ms Taylor Parson. She's a seer and a legacy of Apollo." Hadrian answers me. "She attended Hogwarts at the same time as Will and Charlie. The prophecy was made in her 5th year (Random name for the main character in Hogwarts' mystery)" Hadrian explained.
"Yeah, that was about the time that we got close, shame her best friend passed in our 7th year." Charlie added, "I was the one to witness the prophecy, though I did wonder what it meant."
"So you knew the prophecy but didn't know who it was about. That's kinda weird." I said, "If we were to try to decode it we could have some luck."
"Pollux" Draco calls, presumably for a house elf. "Could you get tea and biscuits for all of us, we will be working for a while" the elf pops away, only to come back 10 minutes later with the tea and biscuits. By then, we'd already had the prophecy written down on a piece of parchment.
One Hour Later.
"We're done, brilliant! We'll plan the attack over the school year and pull it off by mid-summer to give us a chance to get rid of an Elanor Thomas in a tragic accident." I say, anticipating the end of the year.
'Yes, but I do say that Hogwarts has gone downhill, Hadrian if you could allow me and the other governors to do such we can find and replace all the teachers who aren't the best." Mr Malfoy says, "It would be even better if you kids could give me a list of the teachers who don't do their job properly that could be helpful."
"Of course Lucius, I will evaluate the professors and give you the information to which you need." Hadrian responds "I'll have Corvus and Ellie help me, the twins have my permission to prank whoever they like as long as they don't touch my families, such as Draco and Papa."
"Thank you, Hadrian, as soon as that process is done, the school should be better by next year. Do get me enough information on Dumbledore to even just suspend him for a year." Lucius says.
"I have enough information and power to suspend him myself. As the heir of Hogwarts, I could even banish him from ever stepping foot inside the school again." Hadrian says, "as soon as Dumbledore has no power within the school and when I claim my rightful spot as the Head Warlock of the Wizengamot, only to proxy another person as regent until I am ready."
"Great, now can we all go to bed, we have a day ahead of us tomorrow and I do believe the Headmaster expects us back around noon." Professor Snape says.
