Disclaimer: I own nothing. I kind of borrowed the last name Carlton from the awesome Vanessa Carlton. I don't really own Amethyst Carlton, I dreamed about her in a dream, so I guess that my sub-conscious mind owns her. Now I'm confusing myself. Avril Lavigne owns herself and 'Mobile'. Er, me thinks that's all.

A/n: I am probably going to change the D/hr scene in Chapter 6/7 The Day after the Competition, since I don't like it. I'll tell you if I will. This was a lot shorter than I planned, sorry. I'll write soon, I'm trying to figure out where I'm taking this though. Expect several new characters. Hope you enjoy, on with the show!

Chapter 8 Amethyst and a Tantrum

Albus Dumbledore read the very worn letter quietly to himself.

"My Dearest E,

I do not know when and how you are reading this, but I am glad you are. My name is Amethyst Carlton. You are my daughter. This should come as a shock to you. I am a witch, and you are a pureblood. You probably think that your parents are Gerald and Hillary Granger, and your name in Hermione Granger. They are not your parents and that is not your name. Your real name is Ella Athena Antoinette Sarah Mya Carlton. Your father's last name would follow Carlton, but I can not bear to write it. And, he does not know about you. I just couldn't tell him. I am sorry. The muggles, Mr. and Mrs. Granger adopted you. I had to give you up for adoption, I couldn't let anyone know about you. You would have been in great danger, as the Carlton line is powerful, and evil such as Voldemort might try to kill you, or recruit you as a Death Eater.

You should have received a ring and 2 necklaces with this letter. The ring you might think looks familiar. You were giving a matching necklace when you were born, and took it with you to your new home. The necklace is silver with an amethyst heart jewel. As you'll notice, the ring is identical accept it has 2 jewels. The one on the necklace represents you, and the 2 on the ring represent me and your father.

As for the necklaces, you will notice that one is red and gold, the other is green and silver. I was in Gryffindor, and you'll probably guess that your father was in Slytherin from the other necklace. You were put on the waiting list for Hogwarts under Hermione Granger. I am constantly wondering which house you ended up in, mine or your father's.

I would love to meet you. You have no idea how hard it was to give you up. I mourn over it to this day, but it was necessary to keep you safe. I hope you will forgive me. Please owl me.

All my love, Amethyst E. Carlton"

"Amethyst Carlton, one of the brightest students Hogwarts has ever known. Reminds me so much of Hermione, or Ella, here. I do not know if Hermione would take the news of who her father was well. Our her friends, for that matter." thought the elderly Headmaster.

He noticed his student looking eagerly at him, waiting for an answer. He sighed, thinking of how drastically this would effect the girl's life.

"I knew your mother when she was here at Hogwarts, but had no idea that she had a child", he answered calmly.

"Oh", Hermione said, "Er, well do you know who my umm father is?" she asked stuttering. Dumbledore did not want to give her an answer. After what seemed like a millennium to Hermione, he answered.

"I can only guess who he is, but I can not be completely positive." That was a lie and he knew it, but thankful Hermione didn't. He knew exactly who her father was, it was so obvious, they were so much in love. Then, something happened. She was no where to be seen, and he completely changed. No one ever found out what happened.

Hermione's voice brought him out of his thoughts. "Can you tell me anything else? Please?" Her voice was pleading. "I'm sorry, I can't. But I do urge you to write to Amethyst. And if you don't mind me asking, how did you get this letter?"

"It was Sirius", Hermione replied offhandedly, lost in thought. She got up, said thank you, and swiftly departed the room. As she left, the Headmaster looked at her, and thought, "I wonder why she doesn't look a thing like either of her parents."

********

Hermione walked out of Dumbledore's office, trying to digest all of the information that she had learnt in the last 15 minutes or so. " I don't even know who I am", she thought. She decided she would have to owl, er Amethyst, Mrs. Carlton, Mother? What should she call her? "I guess I should ask her that." she said quietly to herself. Not quietly enough though.

"Ask who what?" she heard a familiar voice say. Hermione looked up to see Ron and Harry. "No one nothing", she replied. Hermione just couldn't tell them what she had learned. She was so confused, and wasn't sure who she really was right now. She had to meet Amethyst. She walked away, almost pushing them to get past, leaving both boys dumbfounded.

Hermione soon found herself in her room. She grabbed a quill, and a bottle of emerald green ink, and headed to the Owlery.

Hermione climbed the steps to the Owlery and was greeted with the smell of plop and thousands of owls. She held out her arm. Her pure black owl, Gemma, was there in seconds. "Hi", she greeted her, "Long time no see!" She sat down with Gemma on her shoulder and began to write:

Dear Amethyst Carlton,

I have received your letter and it has left me shocked and confused. I discussed it with my headmaster here at Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore. He didn't tell me much, whether on purpose or he simply didn't know. I would very much like to meet you. I'm not sure how far you are away. Today is Wednesday, September 13th, and if you get the letter in time, and you are free, I would like to meet you in Three Broomsticks tomorrow at 3:00. If you get this in time, please reply if you can come or can not.

Sincerely,

Hermione Granger

Hermione wasn't sure what name to use when signing, she just picked the one that was familiar. She read it over, deciding it sounded dumb, but that was the best she could do. She gave the letter to Gemma, and whispered, "Take this to Amethyst Carlton. Find her as soon as you can. Fly like the wind, Gemma!" She watched Gemma disappear into the sky, then turned and left the Owlery.

*********

Hermione decided she needed some air. She soon found herself at the Quidditch Pitch. She sat down in the middle of the field, hugging her knees. She wanted to cry. Hermione wouldn't let herself, though. She felt extremely vulnerable, and just confused. She started to sing softly,

"Went back home again

this sucks gotta pack up and leave again

say goodbye to all my friends

can't say when I'll be there again

It's time now to turn around

Turn my back on

EVERYTHING (turn my back on) everything....

Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.

Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.

Start back at this life

Stretch myself back into the vibe

I'm waking up to say I've tried

Instead of waking up to another TV GUIDE

It's time now to turn around

Turn and walk on this crazy ground oh oh oh....



Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile

Everythings changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile

I'm a mobile

Hanging from the ceiling lifes a mobile spinning round

with mixed feelings crazy & wild ...

sometimes I wanna SCREAM OUT LOUD....

Everythings changing

everywhere I go

All out of my control

Everythings changing

everywhere I go out of what I know

la la la la la la (la la)

la la la la la la (la la)

la la la la la la (la la la)

la la la la la la



Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile

Everythings changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile

Everywhere I go I'm a mobile"

Hermione finished her song and realized it had started raining and she was yet again soaked to her skin. She got up and ran inside, only to slip on her own puddle of water. She almost fell flat on her face, but put her hands out just in time. She slowly stood up. Her stomach started to tell her it was time for lunch. She looked at her watch and realized she was late for lunch. No time to change. Hermione headed to the Great Hall.

********

Hermione opened the closed doors of the Great Hall as quietly as she could. Which wasn't very quiet. Everyone turned to look. They were meet with a drenched Hermione. She looked about, not surprised that a lot of people weren't there. Most people would eat at Hogesmade today. She didn't want to go there right now.

Hermione thought of all that had happened today and wondered why Harry and Ron hadn't been at Hogesmade earlier, but they were now, or so she assumed, since they weren't here, and she didn't think it was possible for them to miss lunch.

Hermione ate barely anything, just poking at her food. She was still doing this when everyone else had left. Hermione felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and was met with the smiling face of Professor Dumbledore. "Miss Granger, lunch is over, unless you are planning on eating that, you should leave." He told her with a smile. She slowly got up and left.

********

Hermione entered the Entrance Hall and walked to the middle of it. "My perfect life isn't so perfect anymore", she thought. Then she started laughing, loudly. She sounded like a maniac. People came to see what was going on. Professor Dumbledore watched her worriedly.

Abruptly, she stopped laughing. She fell to her knees and started crying. She was sobbing loudly. Her emotions were going wild. A rather large crowd had gathered in the Entrance Hall, Draco, Harry and Ron amongst it. She stopped crying and started to scream. She was screaming so loud, people covered the ears. You could hear thunder and lightening outside, as if the weather were screaming to. She started to yell first words that you couldn't make out. Then she screamed, "I'm going to kill someone!!!!" Everyone backed away, accept Dumbledore, who cautiously approached her. He knew that she was quite capable of hurting someone when she was in a state like this, if she was anything like her mother.

Then suddenly, Hermione stopped. She sat down cross-legged on the cold floor. Her face was expressionless. Dumbledore approached her and used the stunning spell on her, "Stufey", he cried. She fell limp. He conjured a stretcher and took her to the Hospital Wing.

Miles and miles away, Amethyst Carlton felt the tantrum, and knew she had to get to Hogwarts fast. She apparated and was gone, much to the confusion of her companions.

**********

Hermione woke up to an unfamiliar place. "This isn't my room", she thought. As her sight started to clear, she recognized it as the Hospital Wing. She noticed lots of people there. She saw Madame Pomprey, Professor Dumbledore, a dog she realized was Sirius, and a woman who looked to be in her 3os, with stunning amethyst eyes.

"Amethyst?" Hermione whispered. The lady nodded tears in her eyes. "And you're my Ella. I see the charms I placed are still there."

"Pardon?" Hermione asked. "Oh, I placed some appearance charms on you so you would look like that nice muggle couple. I was worried they would wear off soon.." Amethyst trailed off. The black dog licked Hermione's hand encouragingly. "Hi Snuffles", Hermione said to the dog, who was actually Sirius.

"Well Hermione, it seems you had quite an episode", Hermione blushed, "I am glad you didn't kill anyone. Your mother never did when she had a little tantrum, but put a lot of people in the Hospital Wing", Professor Dumbledore told her, eyes twinkling.

"Now", he continued, "I think we should let you rest. I am sure that Amethyst and Snuffles will come back later to visit you." "But I feel fine now! Please let me leave!", Hermione begged giving the nurse and Dumbledore puppy dog eyes. "Fine, fine", they agreed, and she jumped out of bed. The others left, saying something about going to Dumbledore's office. She left the Hospital Wing at full speed, eager to get away.
