Sometime had gone by, but the school still believed Hermione to be the heir. To which did not help the meeting with Dumbledore and her farther. All she wanted to do was learn more about her past and about her great grand farther. Now it was true history was not kind to Grindelwald, but Dumbledore spoke softly of him. He never wanted to kill the muggles just be able to live among them in the open. Still wishing to meet him her farther refused for now but did allow her to write to him at least.

Dear, grandfather

I have been allowed to write to you but still at this time we can not meet. After all I am still an underage witch. Now to the matter at hand I wish to learn the true reason behind your crimes. I will understand if you do not wish to speak of this, but I believe I may understand better from you. Uncle, Dumbledore dose speaks of the friend you once were but not what you became, my farther speaks of the mark you left on are history and history well as you can assume it has not been kind to you.

Now on another matter to which I believe no one will tell you it would be the chamber of secrets has been opened. I have heard a voice to which we have learned is a snake, but I fear the worst. I am protected by the cloche of Slytherin, but it never leaves me now. I was wondering do you have some knowledge of the creature that is now loose it will be forced to kill form what it told me. I am fearful.

Your granddaughter Hermione Jean Snape.

Fox had come to take it for me, owls never went to his castle. Fox has fallen in love with me and I with her. Quickly fox took the letter and left when Draco walked in looking smug.

"you should have come to the dule class. One professor Snape but the fool on his back and second Potter just outed himself as a parselmouth."

"He did but how? Draco tell me you did not sent a snake after him! You did dint you!"

"yes, I did after the way the school has been acting toward you because of him it needed to be done."

"Oh, Draco no harm can come to me you must stop worrying."

"you are my princess I will forever worry over you"

He laid on the couch as she approached only moving to place his head in her lap. There was always moment were they just stayed quite as her fingers played in his hair. Neither would speak and all their house knew to leave them be. even at their age they are the brightest and strongest of their house. they knew one day they would be more powerful them Dumbledore. But not because of their blood but because of each other.

Weeks had gone by without any more attempt to hurt her but the clocke still did not leave her. But what no one expected was for a phoenix to bring a letter to her and it was not fox.

I cannot begin to tell you my joy to know you have been found. My only regret is my crimes that prevent me from seeing you. For years I have reflected on those things and now I know are worlds must remain separate. I do not wish to rule anyone or and creature I simply just wish to be at peace. And now that you are found I may be able to find such a thing. One day I will write to you on a further explanation but for now this must due. Now as for the chamber I have written to Dumbledore as well on my thought as to the creature just remain safe. The clocke will protect you from death due to magic but it will not keep you safe from physical harm that a beast could inflect. Be safe my child for you are the true future of are people. I have seen glimpse of your future and my child you will be extraordinary in all you do.

With all the love returning to my heart your grandfather Gellert Grindelwald.

P.S. phoenix are drawn to Dumbledore's this one came with fox and your letter. I do believe my child you now have the loyalty of a phoenix name her well.

Looking to Dumbledore he raised his glass to her to which she smiled and started to pet her new friend.

"now what shall I name you. How about…. Ember?"

She coed and touched their foreheads together.

"ember it is"
