Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, kinda obvious. I do own some of the
plot I guess. I made up Amethyst, Victoria, Emerald, Jonathan and Calvin.
I borrowed the name Calvin from the Wrinkle in Time books, same with
O'Keefe. I also borrowed the name Carlton from Vanessa Carlton. Avril
Lavigne owns herself and "I'm with you."
Enjoy!
The Real Me
Last Time.
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.
Chapter 11 Lily Riddle and Laughing and Fighting
As Hermione slowly regained consciousness, she heard voices around here. They were talking about the very reason the made her faint. Hermione could not believe that Lily Potter, Harry's mother, was Voldemort's daughter. And if James was Gryffindor's heir, and Lily would have been Slytherin's, than Harry would be the heir to Gryffindor and Slytherin heir. All the thinking began to confuse Hermione. She listened to the conversation around her instead.
"Does Dumbledore know?" she heard Emmie's voice ask. "I told him as soon as the Potters d-died." Amethyst's voice responded sadly, "I knew it must have had to do with it. Lily started getting letters sealed with the Dark Mark, she would never tell me about them, but she started getting them after it was publicly announced that James and Lily were getting married. I don't think he was to happy that his heir, the heir of Slytherin, married the heir of Gryffindor." Sirius's voice spoke, "Who was her mother?" At this, Hermione blinked, who was Lily's mother? "Lily never told me. I'm not sure if she even knew. I know Voldemort took a great interest in his daughter's life. He apparently wanted her to take up his status as the Dark Lord, except she would be the Dark Lady." Amethyst spoke quietly, pain evident in her voice.
"But he killed her, didn't he?" Hermione heard Calvin ask. "Lily Potter died the same night as James, with Voldemort's wand. It is most likely that he killed her." Amethyst said bitterly. There was silence. Hermione figured that this would be a good time to "wake up". She opened her eyes, and groaned.
All eyes were instantly on her. "Lily Potter, the Lily Potter is Voldemort's daughter?" Hermione asked, figuring she shouldn't tell them that she eavesdropped. She was met with nods. An owl flew in, breaking the uncomfortable silence. It bore the Hogwart's crest. It landed in front of Sirius. He opened the letter, read it once, and then read it out loud,
"Sirius-
We've decided that it be best if you, Amethyst and Hermione would return to the school. Emerald, Victoria, Jonathan and Calvin are welcome to come, too. It would be good to see them again. You are al l welcome to stay overnight, and for the ball this Friday. We must talk about the you-know- what matter. Meet me in my office as soon as possible.
Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore"
Emmie spoke excitedly when he was done, "Oh lets go to Hogwarts, pleease?" she asked Calvin with puppy dog eyes. "Fine, fine. It'll be nice to go there again." He said and Emmie screamed, Jon and Sirius exchanged mischievous looks, Vickie looked excited, and Amethyst got lost in thought. Hermione however, became nervous. She became aware of how different she looked, and sighed. She wondered how everyone would take it, the news of her not being a mudblood, as Draco so kindly put it.
Draco. Harry. Her thoughts traveled to the awkward situation she was in. She liked them both a lot, and didn't want to break either's heart. She was roused out of her thoughts by Vickie tapping her on the shoulder. "You have to pack, were leaving soon!" she told Hermione and then rushed off. Hermione found her way back to her room. As she packed she sang,
"
I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everythings a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you..."
When Hermione finished packing and singing she thought, "Who's with me?" She sat on the floor, lost in thought. A knock on the door again startled her out of her thoughts. Amethyst entered upon hearing the girl's "Come in", and sat next to her. "I know this must be a huge shock to you. Everything that's happened in such a short time must be very confusing to you. I'm going to have to make this even tougher for you. When you go back to Hogwart's, you can not be Hermione Granger. All who ask about Hermione will be told that she is doing a special assignment for Dumbledore. You will be Ella Carlton. Be careful at Hogwarts, there are people who will - er, be upset if they find out that there is another Carlton alive, and if they find out, a daughter of Severus Snape. Just please, watch your step. No harm can come to you." Amethyst told her gravely. Hermione took her warning to heart.
Amethyst led her to an elegantly decorated room with a fireplace, and got there just in time to see Sirius floo to Hogwarts. Hermione watched as the others flooed, saying "Dumbledore's Office." It was her turn soon, and she threw some of the powder in the fire, and said clearly, "Dumbledore's Office." She spun around for a bit, and then found herself on the floor of his office.
Hermione quickly got up and dusted herself off. She smiled at the occupants of the room. Dumbledore could not believe how this child could be Hermione Granger. She had beautiful amethyst eyes, and midnight black hair. This could not be the brown-eyed, bushy haired, girl that had first arrived at Hogwarts when she was eleven. She was gorgeous.
Amethyst came at last, and spoke to Hermione, Victoria and Jonathan. "Ella is going to take you on a tour, aren't you, E?" "Sure.." Hermione responded, and led the two out of the office. They had only been once before, and didn't know their way around to well.
After showing them the kitchens, the Great Hall, the library (Hermione's favourite place!) and the Entrance Hall, she led them to Hogesmade. They decided to get a butterbeer, and headed to the Three Broomsticks. To Hermione's horror, Harry and Ron were fighting with Draco in the middle of the room, screaming and punching each other, and causing a huge scene. "Oh crap, should I try and stop them?" she thought to herself. Before she could think it through, Hermione found that her legs were leading her towards them. She cursed silently as everyone turned to stare at her. She walked between Draco and Harry. To bad for Hermione, she didn't know that they were fighting about her.
"What is going on here?" she demanded of the 3 boys, her voice sounding authoritative. Victoria giggled silently. "Please go elsewhere, because you are bothering everyone else here, and should be banned from here if this continues" she said, giving Madame Rosmerta a pointed look. "Kindly leave, now." She told them, sounding like Professor McGonagall. The 3 boys started at her, surprised that she had the nerve to say what she said, but left, going off in separate directions. Hermione walked over to the bar and got 3 butterbeers. When she arrived at the table that her cousins had chosen, she was met with a Victoria that was laughing hysterically.
"That.. was . so ...good!!!", Victoria told her in between giggles. Hermione handed her a butterbeer in response. Jonathan and Hermione talked as they waited for Victoria to calm down. She finally did, and they headed to Hogwarts, as it was time for dinner.
******************
The 3 cousins arrived at the Entrance Hall, completely dry, it had stopped raining, much to Hermione's disappointment. Hermione and Jonathan had raced back to Hogwarts, with Vickie shouting from behind them constantly, "Wait for me." Victoria had chosen the wrong pair of shoes to wear that day, with huge heels. They reached Hogwarts, laughing and screaming. They were late for dinner, so everyone was already there when they got there. They entered the Entrance Hall, and attempted to stop laughing. Jonathan managed it, but Hermione and Victoria didn't. Hermione pushed open the door with a huge THUD. Everyone turned to stare at the trio. The people who had been at the Three Broomsticks when Harry, Ron and Draco had been fighting, could not believe that this girl giggling, was the same who had stopped the fight. Neither could the three boys would had been in the fight. She seemed a lot less scary now.
All eyes were on them. The 3 realized too late that Dumbledore, Amethyst, Emmie and Calvin weren't there, but Snape was. They looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Slowly, the three turned around, everyone's eyes still on them, and swiftly walked out of the Hall. Everyone wondered what that was all about, but soon went back to eating dinner.
Meanwhile, as soon as they heard the doors close behind them, they ran like mad people to Dumbledore's office. They only stopped running when they reached the statue, and then they all started to laugh. Hermione managed to say the password, and they soon found themselves in Dumbledore's office. The adults looked grave, but it went unnoticed. They told them what had happened after they left through laughs. Hermione, Jon, and Vickie calmed down and noticed that the adults didn't look to pleased. "What?" the trio asked innocently.
"You caused a huge scene, that's what." Amethyst snapped at them, "You should have come straight back here, not gone to Hogesmade, and certainly not to the Great Hall." Everyone was surprised that she snapped at them, but didn't have time to say anything, as there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Dumbledore asked. "It's me professor, Severus." Everyone in the room immediately paled. "Just a minute." Dumbledore answered. Amethyst and Emmie whispered some words at the same time, and when Hermione looked done, she wasn't there. "I'm Invisible without the cloak.. Cool!" she thought. She looked around and the only person she could see was Professor Dumbledore. "Come in", he said and the door opened. Severus Snape walked in and Hermione looked at her real father.
