As soon as Rione teleported to Castle Matrix, she was met at the Main
entrance by 'Aunt Guete' and showed to her private rooms. (Apparently most
of the coven shared rooms, except for the centers.) It was large, very
large.
Upon first entering, there was a main room, a couch, a love seat, two armchairs a few muggle appliances and a fireplace, which at the time hosted no fire.
Leading off from there was a room which was pretty much empty except for a desk and shelves lining every wall. The desk was equipped with papers, each with the Destiny crest on the top. (a revolving pentagram.) There were also several expensive quills and a bottle of black ink. And lastly there was a wax seal.
The only shelf that had anything on it was the very top shelf, which had a few very dangerous and mostly illegal potions ingredients and every other potions ingredient imaginable. The rest of everything else was empty.
In another room, that was obviously the bedroom, there was a large canopy bed with a black canopy. There was a huge wardrobe and a few empty dressers.
The last room was a bathroom, much like the perfects bathroom at Hogwarts.
After checking everything out she went around the castle, trying to find her way to the living room. Inside were witches off all ages, amiably speaking to each other, or just staring off, meditating.
Unable to keep off the instinct of Hermione Granger, Rione immediately took off to find a library, and when she did, she began looking up anything and everything she could about the coven.
'The book of light'
Destiny is a very discrete coven who's purposes are unknown.
'The book of dark'
Destiny is a very old, very powerful cult which is known for completing the darkest spells...
'History of Witchcraft' Unedited version (Only copy)
The art of witchcraft is to believed to have begun with a powerful Enchantress named Riona (last name unknown) who found her ability to use the raw magic she was unknowingly born with. She then learned to focus it and perfect the outcome. She begun a group called Destiny, to which she taught her views of perfect balance between the worlds and powers.
'Powers' (Only copy)
Certain powers were given to particular groups to keep the order of earth, all in all, the balance...
Balance. That is what she kept coming up with. Balance. The light didn't know the purpose of Destiny because they allowed free choice. Dark knew of them as a Dark cult to instill fear and respect, so they did not overstep their boundaries. And none were to know their real purpose, so as not to be able to favor one or another. But it was supposed to be a dark cult. That's what her mother had said. Dark!
Screw their real meanings, if she wanted to be dark, then she would be dark, and that is what she would do. If anyone got in her way, so help them, she would kill that person. She would kill the world if it got in her way, and that was that.
::~//~::
So Hermione set out on her way to become herself, or more along the lines of finding herself. She didn't know who that was anymore. Was she this dark person her mother raised her to be, or is she the know - it - all Gryffindor girl she played for so long. She didn't know anymore.
Sometimes it was almost if she was both people. A schizophrenic if you must. Hermione kept telling her she shouldn't be doing these things and Rione, her mothers double, kept telling her that nobody was holding her back from life but herself.
But which self?
Was she Hermione Granger or was she Rione of Destiny. She was both in a way, but which was the dominant persona.
She couldn't show weakness now, she would be destroyed if she did. Destroyed by the light, destroyed by the dark, destroyed by Destiny and destroyed by herself.
The third time Hermione visited the Safe Haven, she found they were to have a meeting of Death eaters, and of course, since she was herself, she was invited to come.
It was a meeting for full death eaters only. And just the first and second ring at that.
The last of the Death Eaters arrived and then,.
And then there were none.
No one but her and Tom.
"Well, my dear, what do you think?"
Think. Think of what? What happened? How did she get to be where and how she is? Where did everyone go?
"There is a thing I didn't tell everyone else. Where the attack will be. It's Hogwarts dear. They will just have to wait to find out where. But you can know. An attack on Hogwarts on New Years Eve, how wonderful, don't you agree. A new year for a new beginning. A new ruler. An overthrow of good. Ingenious, if I do say so myself. What do you think?"
Think? There would be an attack on Hogwarts? No, no, no.she wouldn't. She couldn't. But then, the Hermione in her wouldn't let the place with her only good childhood memories be destroyed. She couldn't. She wouldn't allow it.
"Wonderful." Said Rione.
My god! How could she let this happen. She had to leave. Had to tell. No one else would know. No one else could tell him, Albus Dumbledore, that is. She had to.
The next thing she noticed she was in front of Albus Dumbledore's office in Hogwarts. How did she get there. She was having blackouts, she was going crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy.
Albus opened the door and was very surprised by her appearance. She looked different, very different.
"Come in child."
And Hermione did just that. She came in, sat in a very large crimson chair, and held a hot cup of tea that was offered in her hands.
Dumbledore seemed in no hurry, and merely sat there, allowing whatever it may be that Hermione was there to say come out in it's own time.
And so she did.
"There attacking Hogwarts."
"Who dear."
"The Death Eaters. They are going to take you over if you not ready, you know, on New Years Eve. They will. They have more with them than possibly imagined, you've no doubtable been told by your inside source, Severus Snape I believe. But he never knew where or when. You see, he told me, Tom that is. He trusts me. My mother trusts me. You trusted me. My friends trust me. Trust, so easily given, so easily earned, leads one to see an image portrayed."
Dumbledore just sat and listened to Hermione. She sounded slightly, insane. If truth be told. Looked slightly odd. Seemed slightly odd. Acted slightly odd.
"You see, Everybody can trust me, everybody that is, but me."

Well, what do you think.
Hermione is now unable to decipher between Hermione and Rione, so is there fore blacking out some things. That will be explained later. I know that this chapter was a bit more confusing than the others, so if you have any questions, please email me at PrettyPanther2@aol.com.
Now to all you very nice and loving reviewers.
Ankle - I am very glad that you like
Debbie - I am sorry for my bad spelling, but I was born without the ability to spell. I will try my hardest to spell check and I'll think on a beta reader. Also, I don't think this will be a Voldemort / Hermione story, as I have already chosen the pairs, but I'll think about it, and maybe some day in the future, I'll do something like that. Bedside's Hermione wont be dark forever.
Aconite - Down with the teachers! Worldwide strike agenst homework! Now really, Hermione is still Hermione. That is Her birth name. Rione is her magical name. Almost all covens in real life give their members magical names, though most birthed into a magical family, or one that practices Wiccan, have them from an early age. And She would not have changed her first name because at the early age she started Hogwarts, it would confuse her with the change of names. Therefore, by using her name while playing Hermione Granger, that name gave the image of that person.
Queenie - I am glad you like my story. Additions are good, as long as they are not additions to drugs. Say no to drugs!
Once again thanks to all my reviewers.
