Last time..
"Ella, sweetie, I've discussed it and thought over it, and decided you have to know who your father is. I'm going to have to face him sooner or later, and I'd like to talk to you before that. Ella Athena Antoinette Sarah Mya Carlton, your father is..."
Chapter 10 A New Look and New Facts
"Your father is. Oh honey, this will come as a shock to you. Professor Dumbledore has informed me that you already know him, and he's also told me about your relationship with him. He's really not that bad E." Amethyst trailed off.
"Who is he?" Hermione almost screamed. "Your father is Severus Snape." Hermione fell to the floor, and knocked herself unconscious.
*******
When Hermione came to, she was in a room that was not familiar to her. It was decorated in Slytherin colours, green and silver. She moaned, she had a splitting headache. Her moan had attracted the others in the room, Emmie, Amethyst, Sirius, Vickie and Jonathan.
"Please tell me I dreamed the whole thing and my father isn't Snape", Hermione said, spitting out the word Snape so viciously that everyone winced. When no one said anything, Hermione assumed the worst. "He is?" she screamed. Hermione looked at them all, trying to see if they were trying to keep from laughing. "Is he?" she whispered.
"He is, Ella. Your full name is Ella Athena Antoinette Sarah Mya Carlton Snape. He is your father. I know it must be difficult to accept, but it's true. He doesn't know yet though." Amethyst told her. Hermione just sat there, thinking, "Could my life get any more complicated?"
Everyone sat there for a long time, till Hermione broke the silence. "Er, Amethyst, could you show me what I look like and unlock my 'powers'?" Hermione asked. "Sure", Amethyst replied softly.
She sat down next to Hermione. "Alright Ella, close your eyes." Amethyst told her. Hermione shut them, feeling apprehensive. Amethyst began to mutter words softly. After what seemed like a million years to Hermione, she was told to open her eyes.
Emmie handed her a large mirror. Hermione gasped. "The person in the mirror can't be me, can it?" she thought. The girl in the mirror was beautiful. She had midnight black hair and amethyst eyes not unlike Amethyst's, but the girl's eyes had a black tint to them. Her teeth were all perfectly straight, and her smile was a bit mischievous. Her face was heart-shaped. She had a perfect nose, and high cheekbones. All in all, she was drop dead gorgeous.
Hermione stood up. The mirror grew to a full length one. She looked like a model, to sum it up. She turned to Amethyst, and asked, "This is how I would have looked?" Amethyst nodded. "Well, I sure wish you did this along time ago!" Hermione said, smiling. The others in the room marveled at how much she looked like Amethyst and Severus mixed together.
Amethyst spoke first, "Ella, do you have an amethyst heart necklace?" "Yah", Hermione replied, she had worn it today, "My mom, er Mrs. Granger, er, Anne, gave it to me a long time ago." Hermione said, taking the necklace off. "Good", Amethyst said, pleased. "I gave it to the Grangers when I gave you to them.. I know your probably wondering why they never told you that you were adopted, I put a memory charm on them, and only let them remember certain things. Anne Granger knew she had to give you the necklace but she didn't know why. It was for your own good." As Amethyst said this, you could see silent tears threatening to come out. She was trying to be strong, but it was hard. "Give me the necklace please", she finally managed to croak out. Hermione handed it to her.
Amethyst again said some weird words. Hermione was fascinated at this new type of magic. Well, at least new to her. It was actually very old music that almost all the Carlton line could do, except the one they did not talk about. Amethyst stopped muttering and gave her back the necklace. "I stored all your powers in the necklace, I just had to release them." Amethyst told her, "Oh, and keep the necklace, don't lose it." She said know more about the matter, but from the look on Ammie's face, Hermione guessed it was important.
Hermione looked at Amethyst, expecting her to tell her about her powers. She had a far away look on her face, similar to the one Hermione would get when she was in deep thought. Emmie spoke up, "She off in her own world now sweetie. Come lets leave her alone I'll tell you about your 'powers'." She told Hermione and ushered Jonathan, Vickie and Hermione into another room.
This room was done in emerald green. It had a casual look to it, though it had some art that looked very expensive. Emmie started to talk once they were settled in, believe it or not, bean bag chairs. "Okay, first off, you can apparate effortlessly. I could do it when I was 2. You can do wandless magic, read people's minds, can do any curse without trying. You'll discover a lot more as you go along. Every Carlton has one special trait. Mine, for example is being able to freeze time. You'll discover yours in time." Then Emmie began ranting on about this and that. Finally, she said, "Ella sweetie, you can go explore the rest of the house, or go back to your room. I need to talk to Victoria and Jonathan." Emmie shot the pair a glare that could kill. "Wow, one second she's an excited, giggly first year, the next she's Professor Mcgonagall." Hermione thought, amused. She left the room.
*************
After 5 minutes of wandering around, she finally found her room. Hermione collapsed on her bed and stuck a cd in her cd player. The song began to play, and she began to sing,
"Fall back
Take a look at me
And you'll see I'm for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to you
Let me know
And I'll go
'Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be
Honestly
'Cuz creativity could never bloom
In my room
I'd throw it all away before I lie
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I've got a backbone stronger than yours
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
[chorus]
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
You don't know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn
Understand
That I can't not be what I am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
Its not a simple hearing but not so soon
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen
And a little more green
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Try and look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize, realize
Things are trying to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If its with or without you
I don't need you doubting me
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
Would you be laughing out loud
If I played to my own crowd
Try"
She finished singing. She felt a bit better. This was one of her many favourite songs. There was a knock on the door, and then it opened to reveal Vickie. "My mom and Aunt Ammie want to talk to you. Aunt Ammie apparently was told by Dumbledore that you are one of Harry Potter's best friends, and they want to talk to you.", Vickie said very fast. Hermione got up and followed her to what Hermione had dubbed 'The Emerald Room'. Hermione had no time to wonder what Harry had to do with everything, because Vickie knew her way around well and took her half a minute to get there. Hermione and Vickie walked in the room to find Emmie, Amethyst, Jonathan, Sirius and a man who had Vickie's gold eyes. Emmie jumped up, grabbing the man with her.
"Ella, may I introduce you to your Uncle Calvin, or Uncle Cal." She said. The man said, "Cal is fine." He had blonde hair, unlike Vickie's red and Jonathan's black (a/n He's their father, as explained in the last Chapter well briefly explained). Hermione smiled and said, "It's really good to meet you." When the man smiled, Hermione knew where Victoria had gotten her mischievous smile from. Everyone sat down. Amethyst began to speak.
"Now, Professor Dumbledore has told me that you're one of Harry Potter's best friends, as has Sirius. As Emmie probably told you, Calvin, Emmie and I went to Hogwarts. Emmie and I were in Gryffindor, and good friends with Sirius, Remus, whom I am told taught you, James and Lily. We were very good friends. Now, there is something I want to tell you, and Harry will have to be told to. It was something Lily told me, and me alone, as I was her best friend, as was Emmie, but I bet she knew Emmie would tell the whole world. You see, Lily told me that James was the heir to Godric Gryffindor. And, she was not muggle-born at all. She was adopted, like you. Her real surname was not Evans, but Riddle."
Hermione fainted for the second time that day.
End of Chapter.
A/N: This chapter was quite hard to write. I came up with a lot of ideas though. I had such trouble finding a song, nothing fit, so I just picked another Avril Lavigne.

Hpz26: I know, I'm evil. Thanks!
Oriencor: It does, or did! I forced myself to write, you didn't have to do it for me. Of course I'm going to put you on my thank you list, you reviewed and for that I thank you!
