Back Home, Chapter 4
Adi was now getting ready for her first day as a student at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was sharing a dorm with four other girls. Eve Thomas, who was the daughter of Dean and Parvati Thomas. Elizabeth Windsor, (A/N: No she is not part of the royal family) Annie McLeevey , and Alexandra Blunderstood. The five girls quickly became friends and were all happy and had headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
"I wonder what classes we have today." Started Liz (Elizabeth's Nickname.)
Adi looked down to her schedule. "Well we start off today with Transfiguration…then a double of Potions, and we finish off the day with Flying and Defense Agaisnt the Dark Arts."
The five girls smiled as they saw Julien and Mark walk down to the Gryffindor table.
"Why Hello ladies." Said Mark slyly, as he and Ju (Julien's nickname) sat down.
"Haha very funny." Said Adi not taking her eyes off her schedule. Suddenly, hundreds of owls came flying down into the Great Hall and Adi quickly grabbed her owl Cleo.
"Something from Mum!" She yelled, patting Cleo softly on the head. Cleo was a beautiful snowy owl that looked exactly like Hedwig. "A letter and oh some things for Lavender. I'll be back in a second."
Adi walked up to the table at the head of the Great Hall, directly walking up to where Lavender was seated.
"Why good morning Adi. Had a pleasant first night here at the castle?" Asked Lavender.
"Yes I did. Thank you for asking." Said Adi, smiling over at Harry who sat beside Lavender. "Here's a letter from Mum to you…and here is a picture of her and me infront of our new house!"
Lavender picked up the parchment and the picture and thanked Adi, who then went back to her seat at the Gryffindor table.
Harry peaked over to see the photo that Lavender was holding in her hands. Harry felt many emotions running through his body as he looked at the smiling Hermione holding her daughter in her arms. "She's so beautiful."
Lavender noticed Harry peering over her. "Yes she is. And look how excited Adi looks in this picture! She truly adores her mother!"
"And I wish she could also learn to adore her father." Said Harry sadly.
"In do time Harry. Listen, I was thinking about your little situation here. And I believe that you must go see Hermione before telling Adi that you are her father."
"No. I can't, I must tell Adi that I'm her father! What if Hermione won't let me tell her? Then what happens next? I live my whole life knowing that I have a beautiful daughter and she doesn't even know how much I love her?"
Lavender remained silent. She knew that telling Hermione first would be wisest…but…she also knew that Hermione might not let Harry tell Adi. 'This decision is for Harry to make himself' she thought while peering over to her son whom was making a fiasco over at the Gryffindor table.
It was finally time for Transfiguration and Adi and her friends hurried over to the classroom. Adeline felt in place when she arrived in a classroom, ready to learn. 'Just like my mum' she thought as she took a seat at the first row with Liz sitting beside her.
"Welcome to Transfiguration, first years. I Professor McGonagall shall be your professor in this subject during your 7 years here at Hogwarts." Adi recognized the face of that Lady. 'Ofcourse! She's the woman who led us into the castle' she thought.
"Now, let me take attendance." Said Professor McGonagall, clearing her throat.
"Thomas, Eve"
"Weasley, Julien" Pr. McGonagall smiled at the red head boy.
"Windsor, Elizabeth"
"Blunderstood, Alexandra"
"Finnigan, Mark"
"Granger, Adeline" Pr. McGonagall stopped at that name and turned to look at Adi. 'Is it possible? Hermione's daughter? She does have her mother's hair and facial structure. But those eyes could only belong to one young man. Harry Potter!'
"Malfoy, Kyle"
"Zesterfuld, Angela"
Professor McGonagall continued with the names until she started explaining the basics of Transfiguration and what it was used for. "What is an animagi?" She asked the whole class.
Adi's hand when shooting straight up.
"Yes Ms. Granger?" Asked Professor McGonagall.
"An animagi is a human capable of transforming into an animal form."
McGonagall smiled. "Very good." It was like deja-vue for her. Now it was obvious to her, 'Adeline is Hermione's daughter.'
Potions passed and Adi and the rest of the students, ofcourse except for Slytherin, hated it and wished that Snape would just go away. Snape also noted the last name Granger, and gave Adi a hard time because of it. Flying was a great experience for Adi, as she noticed how swift and fast she was on a broom. Oliver Wood, flying professor, noticed her skills and asked Adi if she would like to try out for the Gryffindor House Team, preferably…as a seeker.
Finally came the class Adi awaited for, Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA.) She sat herself between Mark and Julien and listened carefully to Harry.
Harry looked around the room and stopped as he saw Mark, Adi, and Julien. He winked at both of the boys and fell stricken when he saw Adi, up close.
'She looks so much like me. The same eyes, hands, and nose. Oh how I wish I could hold her in my arms right now and tell her how much I love her.' Thought Harry as he stared at Adi.
'He looks so much like me! When I saw the photograph in the house I noticed a resemblance but this is just…wow. I have the same emerald green eyes as him, and same eyes…Could he be…my father?' Thought Adi, oh how she was nervous looking straight into her fathers' eyes.
Julien and Mark turned to look at her. They knew Adi's story and how she didn't know who her father was. As they looked at Harry and then back at Adi, they thought the same thing as both Harry and Adi. 'Harry's her father!' Mouthed Ju to Mark who just nodded.
The class went back quickly and Adeline answered all Harry's questions correctly. 'Well we now know where she got the brains from…' Thought Harry. It was amazing how he and Adi got along so well during the whole class period.
"Hope that you all enjoyed your first day! When we meet on Wednesday we will be discussing the difference between the harmful and helping spells. Good day to you all!" Said Harry with a beaming smile that made most of the girls in the room weak to their knees. 'Hey! I haven't lost my charm' Thought Harry.
As Ju, Mark, and Adi were getting ready to leave, Harry put a hand on their desk to stop them. "You three stay after class for a moment please."
"Oh no! I hope I didn't do anything wrong! It was probably you Ju always talking to Mark while Professor Potter was talking!" Said Adi crossly.
Ju, Mark, and Harry laughed. "What?" Asked Adi a little annoyed.
"First off, call me Harry. Professor Potter makes me feel old. And secondly you sound so much like your mother, worrying about class like that." Said Harry with a smile on his face.
Julien and Mark nodded still chuckling a little.
"Julien and Mark. It is true you two were talking while I was teaching, and that is disrespectful! But hey! I would be talking too when I had a beautiful girl sitting between me." Said Harry winking at Adi.
"Ju! Your mother told me to tell you to stop talking so loudly and making a fiasco in the Great Hall, and Mark your father called and told me to tell you that he is very proud of you and he intends to keep it that way so no fooling around in school. That is all for you two now Adi…I need to talk to you." Harry spoke these words a little more seriously.
Adi nodded and sat down at Harry's desk. The boy's had left, just to be waiting for her at the door.
Harry closed the door and walked up to his desk to sit right across from Adi. "So Adi, I guess that you're wondering why I asked you up to my desk?" Started Harry.
Adi nodded and looked down at her fingers. "I was meaning to ask you…how's Hermione doing? Is she all right?" Asked Harry to his daughter.
The little girl looked up at him. "Mum's fine. A little worn out from the trip and move but she's fine. Ron is helping her settle in."
"Good, good. Listen Adeline you're a smart girl and I've been meaning to tell you something."
"Yes?" She asked as knowing what was coming.
"Lavender has informed me that you don't know who your father is…"
Adi cut off Harry, "No I don't. Mum never really mentioned him because she told me it was too hard for her. She has only spoken about it with Ron and Lavender."
Harry nodded again. "Well, Adeline you're going to find out who your father is."
Adeline's eyes were beaming. "Really who is he? Where is he?"
"His name is Harry Potter. And he is sitting right across from you."
Adeline jumped off of her seat and started crying. But these tears weren't tears of sadness or guilt but they were tears of happiness.
Adi jumped into her father's arms. Harry caught her and felt a feeling he had never felt before. He felt love and joy and happiness as he held her closely. He felt complete.
"I knew it was you! I mean when I came into the room I felt like I had known you my whole life! And I finally feel…"
"Complete." Finished Harry. "I love you so much Adeline you have no idea how hard it was to live my whole life without knowing that you were in the world."
"I love you too…Dad."
Harry held Adeline close to his side and started rocking her in his chair. "I love you…" He whispered in her ear.
