Also this might be pulled off from Anastaisa (sp?) in the beginning.

ON WITH THE SHOW:

"You-you-you're a DUCHESS?!?" Harry yelled sitting up. Hermione coloured and nodded.

"Shhh! Ron is sleeping and I'm sure everyone else is!" Harry nodded and laid back down in her lap.

"How come you didn't tell us?"

"Well, its not something to want. Especially in my case."

"Why is that? And are you relate to the Duke?"

"Yeah he's my cousin Colin. But I guess I'll begin when I was about oh five I think.."

::FlashBack::

The Ball room was beautiful. Gold, dark purples rich greens and blues, and lots of happy laughing faces surrounded the dance floor. Women wore jewelry of Dimonds, Emeralds, Sapphires, and rubies. Their dresses made of the richest fabrics shined in the fire light from the torches that lit the room and the chandeller that hung high from the ceiling. At the back of the room were two large doors and two men calling everyone's name who entered.

" King Manster and his Queen Celine."

"Princess Franchessca and her Prince Drian" and so on. At the Front of the room were the hosts of the evening. The Lenoxs. Their family was very large, five little girls and 3 little boys. Not all Brother's and sisters of course, but related all the same. The King, King Nicholas and his Queen Alexandra stood up and silenced the laughing crowd.

"Welcome my friends! Welcome! I know your all excited and want to dancing the night away, but I just want everyone to know that it's a very special night as it is the Duchess Mary of Kensington birthday, and I think we-"

"The Lenoxes WILL ALL DIE!" someone cried loud. The children all cried and ran to their parents in fright. The men all stood up and ran to the front of the room to defend the Lenoxes.

"WHO SAID THAT?" King Nicholas roared. Queen Alexandra pointed to the back of the room and ran back to grab all of her children to escape.

"NO WOMAN YOU WILL NO LIVE!" the voice screamed with a high pitched voice this time. A green flash came from the direction the queen had pointed to and hit her in the chest causing her to fall to the ground. The King ran to his wife and kneeled next to her lifeless body.

"Alexandra! NO!" He screamed with tears running down his cheeks. He looked at his children and his relatives children and his brother's and sister and saw that the killing hadn't stopped. True to the mysterious killers word he had started killing everyone of the Lenoxes, even a few of the guests.

"Uncle Nick!" Mary screamed. She ran towards him and hugged him. The tiny girl was the last one besides him.

"Come here child! Its your turn to die!"

"NO! I don't wanna die! Uncle Nick don't let him kill me!" The tiny girl screamed into his shoulder hugging him tight.

"Don't worry Mary. I won't. I WON'T!" He yelled He pushed Mary in the opposite direction and yelled for her to run and never stop, before he to was hit with the green curse.

Mary ran and ran she ran out into the cold Englsih blizzard with only a party dress on. She ran to the stables and hid in the corner of a stall covering herself in hay. She waited and waited freezing huddling and breathing quietly, until she heard the voice again.

"Girl, come out NOW!" she started a fire in the stall across from her. She lifted her head up and peeked through the hay. She saw a dark black clock and a cold gray hand holding a funny looking stick.

"Fine I'll burn the stable down so you have a slow and painful death!" She watched him raise the stick and point it at her stall right next to the horse. "Falmera!" he screamed with a hissing voice. Mary screamed a tiny scream and ran out of the hay outside back to the cold. She looked back and saw the black figure chasing her. Her eyes went wide and ran to the frozen lake sliding across it as fast as she could.

"Oh so you want to go for a little swim do you?" He said climbing on to the ice himself.

"That's a nice idea. Here I'll warm the water for you! Breakco!" a blue flash came out of his wand just as she got to the middle of the lake. She looked where the flash had hit. It was glowing a light ice blue and was spreading fast. Mary scrambled to the closest edge of the lake, but she was too late.

The blue light had grabbed her ankles and was pulling her into the water. The hissing man was laughing with pleasure as Mary was scareaming and grabbing onto anything her little hands could grasp.

"Die little Lenox DIE! I hope you burn in HELL!"

"I won't die!" Mary whispered to herself. She grasped anouther root that was hidden under the snow and began to pull herself up from the grip of the blue flash.

"NO! Kill Her!" He Hit Mary with another curse and she screamed and let go of the branch falling into the water. The Blue flash swallowed her and dragged her deeper into the water. Mary kicked and wagged her arms back and fourth doing whatever she could to get out when she felt something hit her. She turned around and saw an otter-looking animal. She grabbed onto its neck and it pulled her out. She kicked at the water helping the best she could, when she and the otter shot off to the top of the water. They were almost there, Mary needed air or she was going to drown. Almost. The blue flash was chasing her again, but she dodged it and jumped out of the water running up the bank of the lake gasping for breath. She looked around and didn't see the black figure.

"ARF!" Mary turned around and looked at the otter."

"Thank you. I'll always remember you otter." She said patting it head. He swished its tail and dived back into the water and swam away.

Mary began running back to the palace to find some warm dry clothes when she heard a noise. She turned around and saw something black and tall. She let out a whimper and hid behind a tree.
"MARY LENOX! MARY LENOX WHERE ARE YOU?" She heard her older cousin Colin.

"COLIN!" she screamed. He saw her five year old shivering body and ran over to her.

"Oh thank god you're alright. Come on Lets get you cleaned up in the palace." Mary nodded and let him pick her up wrapping her under his cloak next to his warm body. She shivered and snuggled closer holding on as he ran as fast as his small thirteen year old body would let him.

Back inside the palace When Colin put Mary down and ran to get some clothes for her, Mary saw many people hurt and many more killed. Mary walked over to her older sister Baisel and kneeled down next to her. Colin ran back and saw Mary. He was about to go over to her when an old man stopped him and shook his head. Colin looked at Mary and her small sad little face and broke into tears, silent, but large drops of tears.

"Bais?" Mary said shaking her a little, "Bais wake up. Its time to go home. You, you said we could play in the snow tomorrow. Bais don't leave please." Mary said moving a small hand over the the older girls hand.

"Cousin Colin!" Mary yelled. She looked up and saw him crying. She saw that she had to be the brave one and not cry now. She had to make sure everyone was ok, "I love you Bais." She kissed her sister's forehead and walked over to Colin and hugged him.

"I'm so sorry cousin Mary." Mary didn't say anything, but took her dry clothes and went to go change.

::End of FlashBack::

Hermione was still running her hands through Harry's hair after finishing her story and was watching his reaction.

"You lost all of them, in one night?" Harry asked gently rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb affectionately.

"Yes, that was one of the worst nights of my life. I lost everyone except my cousin and my Uncle, but he wasn't at the ball to begin with." She said letting a single tear down her cheek. Harry wipped it.

"If you don't want to tell me anymore you don't have to Mione." He whispered in her ear after sitting up.

"No I need to tell someone. I want to tell you, but it might take me awhile to get everything out." Harry nodded and pulled Hermione into his lap hugging her.

"Was that Voldemort that was chasing after you?"

"Yes."
