1 Chapter Six Off To Hogwarts We Go
Everyone at the Burrow was up bright and early the next morning. Harry, Ron and Ginny found themselves in Val's room minus the Val. As they struggled to get up Val walked into his room. They had grown accustomed to his style of magic and were not shocked when he told all of his stuff that they had taken out the night before to put itself back into his trunk. They also weren't amazed when he touched the diamond stud in his ear causing his body to change images. His hair became midnight black as the red faded out of it and his eyes lightened to a pale green blue.
"Val, what did you do that for? You looked good before." Ginny was shocked at the words coming out of her own mouth.
"Why thank you Miss Ginny. But I don't think that my fiancé would be to pleased at me for stealing the heart of one so beautiful when she isn't around to see me."
"Your fiancé? You are only fifteen years old. Aren't you a little young?"
"Actually no I only proposed to her two days ago. I was surprised that she wasn't already betrothed. I hadn't asked her father until we turned fifteen. That's not normal for Night Harbor. On the islands we get married at age sixteen."
"Kids we have to go. Val, Harry, Ron and Ginny in one car. Fred and George in the other with me." Mrs. Weasley called up the stairs.
Between the six kids it took them twenty minutes to get everything together. With Ginny running around asking if anyone had seen her History of Magic essay Val was getting annoyed.
"Accio Ginny's History of Magic essay." A piece of parchment rolled itself up and flew towards Val from the kitchen table. Val sent it up to Ginny's room and told her it was in her trunk.
Mrs. Weasley herded everyone out into the two-ministry cars that were waiting for them. They some how managed to arrive at the station with twenty minutes to spare. The twins grabbed their trunks and ran through the barrier. Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and they pushed their cart containing their trunks onto the platform. ~Harry had been hiding something from me when we discussed last year at school and I have seen the look in Ginny's eyes when he looks her way or touches her. I'm going to have to talk to both of them separately. Now it's my turn to run through the wall. Fun... we used to take a ferry.~
The train began to pull away just after they had settled down in their compartment. Fred and George had left to go sit with Lee Jordan. The four sat and talked until the conversation turned to Hermione could be. There was a knock on the door and Ron got up to open it thinking it was Hermione. A boy with blonde hair entered with a thug on either side of him.
"Well… well… well… if it isn't two weasels and the scarface. Who's this? Ain't you kinda old to be a first year?" the boy had noticed Val. "Well I'm Draco Malfoy. Are you pureblood or mudblood?"
"My name is Valerian Harding and I am a fifth year transfer from Hempstead Academy. If you are asking about my heritage I am not allowed to say. Now could you please leave? We were having an interesting conversation before you arrived with the stench of egotism drifting in behind you."
"No I don't think that I will." Draco leaned over and grabbed some of the food that they had just bought from a passing food cart.
No one heard the words that made Draco pale visible and scurry out of the compartment nearly knocking over Crabbe and Goyle in his rush to leave. Val smiled to himself as Draco ran down the hall. ~Stupid weakbloods they think that coming from wizarding families means anything. Wait till Selena takes the throne. Everything will change. The Magical world as they know it will be forever gone once Night Harbor regains its old prestige. He'll make a good conversion. He's got a strong heritage in the Darkside. Angel would have a field day. She would turn him into a warrior in no time. But I have the strange feeling he is one of us. I'll look in to that later.~
They soon arrived at Hogwarts Hermione still hadn't been found no matter how many compartments they had entered.
***********************************************************************
"Girls get up it's fast approaching time for you to leave." Adrela announced from the hall. Selena unceremoniously fell out of her bed and landed in a pile on the floor. A thud from the other two rooms showed that Angel and Hermione were out of bed. Selena stood up allowing the blanket to drop away and walked over to her vanity. Kali had set out an outfit for her to wear to school. The dress was cut to show off her curves but to leave most for the mind's over active imagination. It flared around her in streams of blue and gold. From her jewelry box she grabbed her silver necklace strung with amethysts that connected her with her disguise and the topaz bracelet that was her communication link. As she closed her jewelry box it flew out of her hands and disappeared inside her trunk she got up from her vanity and stood on her balcony letting her gold and purple streaks blow in the wind. ~Well I have a few more hours before I become a normal witch. They would be scared if they knew who we really were. What if they don't accept us? What if they find out about our heritage? What if they try to kill us? People have never been to kind to multiple ancestries. They aren't Society they don't know anything about us. I mean they call their own people mudbloods. That's a disgusting term… well it is equal to weakblood but still we don't call people that to be mean. Well its time to go. I guess its just one more step towards the future.~ Selena turned around and waved her hand over her personal trunk. The trunk began to shrink until it could be held in the palm of one of her hands. She grabbed the small purse that matched her dress. Selena looked around her room once more and walked into the hall. Angel and Hermione stood waiting outside of her door. The three girls were dressed the same. None of them had activated their disguises yet and so all three looked exotic. They walked down the stairs and approached the foyer. Adrela stood off to the side with Lianna, Carissa and Adam in front of her. Adam wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and smiled.
"Great Grandmamma has written to Mommy and Daddy. She didn't tell them everything but after Halloween I'm going to Hempstead. I've been accepted the letter got here this morning. I leave in three days for Night Harbor. Oh and this came for you as well. Grandmamma said to read it when you got to Hogwarts and inform the Headmaster of its contents. I'll see you at Christmas."
"Lianna and Carissa you two behave for Adrela and be good girls when mommy and daddy return. If you are good I'll bring surprises back from school. Good bye everyone."
"Girls wait up." Antion called as he ran out of the kitchen carrying a basket. "Here is your lunch. Just leave the basket in the car when you are done."
"Thank you Antion." Angel said as she accepted the basket full of food.
Outside the girls found a limo waiting for them in front of the villa. Little flags adorned the front of the limo. They were only visible to the magically inclined because they were Night Harbor flags and Night Harbor had not come out from hiding yet. The three piled into the back and stretched out in the extended inside. They talked for a while and then decided it was time to eat lunch. Out of the basket came sandwiches, fruit and a bottle of cider. After lunch the girls settled into their seats to study some more each occasionally trying a new spell from their Hempstead books. Selena and Angel were trying to learn how to use their wands while Hermione tried to do without hers. After about three hours they put away their books and slipped their Hogwarts robes on over their HAGS uniforms. Hermione tapped her bracelet and changed back into the easily recognizable version of herself while Selena and Angel changed into their new disguises. The limo cruised into the gates of Hogwarts and pulled up in front of the door. Kali appeared beside them and opened the door. Hermione grabbed the letter off the seat beside her and read it.
Dear Catilia Granaldi,
It would appear that once your clan was lost the Book of Names lost track of you as well. Since you are attending school with Selena and Angel le Therone we would like to offer you to study with them under correspondence. All of your supplies will be delivered along with your animal. Please alert your Headmaster and we do request that you are boarding in the same room as the twins for convenience sake. The classes you will be taking will be done at night and in your spare time. We regret you could not have enetered at your tenth birthday.
Yours truly,
Headmistress Lilee de Maria and Headmaster Nicholas Hatyn
The girls entered the castle without so much as a gasp. The limo disappeared as the great doors closed. A very stern lady stood just inside the door.
"Hermione Granger you do know that you are here early. May I ask why you have decided no to ride the train with the rest of the students? And who are these two young girls?"
"Professor McGonagall first off I was not allowed to ride the train due to the fact that secondly these are Selena and Angel le Therone from Night Harbor. Now if we may be excused we need to see the Headmaster about a few things." The professor moved aside and the girls begun to climb the steps.
Just as they reached the gargoyle it jumped aside and the wall opened to reveal a doorway. The moving staircase carried them up until a great wooden door stopped them from going further. Selena knocked and they were told to come in.
"Good afternoon ladies what can I do for you?" Headmaster Dumbledor sat behind his desk talking to his phoenix.
"Well Headmaster we, my sister and I, would like to introduce ourselves. I am Selena le Therone and this is my twin sister Angel. We are the transfer students from Night Harbor. Catilia has been requested by our Headmistress and our Headmaster to be allowed to join us in our studies. She will be transferred to Hempstead at the end of the year."
"Who is Catilia?" He asked confused.
"Oh that is my name professor. It has come to my attention that my family roots were somewhat altered in the 1500s. I am a Granaldi by birth and am also Night Harbor Society. Hermione Granger was a name made up from pieces of my real name."
"Oh well that is understandable. Well how about we get you three down to the Great Hall. Selena would you and Angel like to be sorted in front of the whole school or here on your own?"
"How about in front of the whole school. It would not cause such a change in the way things are normally done."
"It seems as if the sorting is almost done we must hurry. Hermione you can find your way down on your own right. I'll take these two to one of the chambers off the Great Hall."
"Of course Headmaster." Hermione disappeared from the room in a shower of purple flowers.
"How did she do that? You cannot apperate inside the grounds."
"Its not apperating its called materializing its ancient magic. It was lost to most common witches and wizards long ago. And there is no way to ward against it. Shall we go?" Angel said as she and Selena stood.
******************
Hermione reappeared outside of the Great Hall. She pushed open the doors and walked slowly over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Ron, Harry and Ginny. None of them noticed her being there. There was another new boy with them. Hermione noticed two seats across from her were empty. ~I guess I'll save those for Selena and Angel. Who is this new guy? Maybe he is from Night Harbor. He has to be he is wearing a bracelet like Selena and Angel's. Oh the twins are about to be sorted.~ Hermione turned back to the Head Table.
"Joining us this year are four transfers. Two have already been sorted. And now for the last two." Hermione looked around. Ron and Harry still hadn't realized she was there because they were having a conversation with the new guy about pulling some pranks.
"le Therone, Angel." The hat was placed on her head and after a few minutes for the whole hall to hear it declared… "Gryffindor"
"le Therone, Selena." The hat was taken from Angel's head and placed on Selena's and where it sat it also declared Gryffindor for all to hear.
The twins curtsied slightly to Dumbledor and made their way over to where Hermione was waiting for them. They took the two available seats and looked at Hermione.
"A hat… Catilia you could have told us that it was a hat. Our old school is much dangerous when it comes to sorting students. But you can find that out tomorrow night when your training starts."
"Hermione who are your friends? And why did they call you Catilia?" Ron had finally realized that she was there.
"These are the students I wrote to you and told you I was hosting. They are calling me Catilia because that is my name."
"Sorry for not seeing you Hermione. We were discussing pranks with our new best friend here." Harry said as he looked up from his map.
"Catilia, what a pretty name. Would you mind if I called you that instead of Hermione? By the way my name is Valerian. And who might you two lovely ladies be?"
"Why Valerian Harding are you trying to tell me that you…" Selena clapped a hand over Angel's mouth.
"I'm Daphne and this is Persephone. We are two of the new transfers."
"Well Daphne the pleasure of meeting you is all mine."
"Now that we've all been fed and watered I have a few announcements to make. There has been a change in the way prefects were elected and how Head boys and girls were chosen. Can we please have everyone who got a prefect letter this summer stand up?" Hermione, Ron and Harry and another girl rose from the Gryffindor table. "We now have four prefects per year over fifth and per house. The prefects may sit down. You are all dismissed now off to bed with all of you."
The group left the Great Hall in a daze. They approached the Fat Lady and Hermione turned to tell the first years the password, "Listen up everyone the password is royalty" the fat lady swung forward and everyone entered. Ron and Hermione lead the first years up to their dorms and sent most of the other students off to bed as well.
Harry collapsed onto one of the couches and stuffed a pillow under his head. Ron sat down with Hermione and Ginny leaving one couch and a chair for the other three to sit in. Angel sat down in the chair while Val stretched out on the sofa. Selena turned and walked over to a door labeled Night Harbor that lead to the room that had been added for the three of the to stay in. She entered and called Angel to her telepathically. Angel opened the door and found her sister curled up on an overstuffed chair with her gold and silver hair falling in her face. Angel stuck her head out of the room and called Hermione over to her. Hermione walked over and peeked around Angel to see Selena's shaking form.
"Lena he didn't realize it was you. He wasn't paying attention to the sorting he was telling Ron and Harry about you and the VASKAS. Lena I just talked to him… he wasn't really paying attention and he misses you dearly." Hermione said as Selena looked up.
"Is everybody gone from the common room?" Angel nodded. "Lets give them all a show." Selena touched her necklace and her disguise faded. Angel followed her lead and changed back as well. Hermione looked on as if unsure. "Catilia you can do it. They will see the real you before long. Everyone slips up and now that you know that the bracelet holds your true identity the spell to keep you from taking it off is gone." That was all she needed she pulled off the bracelet and threw at the fireplace. It landed on the mantle her image faltered and she changed.
"Let's go. Time to make them drool." Hermione opened the door and stepped out.
Selena snuck up behind Val and wrapped her arms around him. He spun around and went to tell her to let go. She reached up and kissed him. He melted into the kiss and realized who it was. Hermione walked up behind Ron and kissed him. Angel flopped back onto her chair and let her dress fall around her.
"Selena why didn't you tell me that you were coming here?"
"Val why didn't you tell me you were?"
"I guess it slipped my mind."
"Well it slipped my mind as well."
"You guys need to breathe you know. Catilia let him go." Angel said as she finally looked up from her reverie. "Come on everyone we all need to go to bed. Classes start bright and early in the morning." Everyone drifted off tot heir rooms. Ron, Harry, and Ginny walked up the stairs while Val, Selena, Angel and Hermione opened the doors to their rooms.
