Warner Bros., and her publishers, I guess. The name O'Keefe and the name
Calvin were borrowed from The A Wrinkle in Time books, by Madeleine
L'Engle, which are awesome books. The name Carlton was borrowed from
Vanessa Carlton. And, the name Ella is borrowed from a book I adore, Ella
Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. They're making a movie out of the book,
with Mia from Princess Diaries (Anne Hathaway). I own Amethyst Carlton,
Emmie/Emerald Carlton O'Keefe, and Victoria Carlton O'Keefe, Jonathan
Carlton O'Keefe Calvin O'Keefe and Lila Malfoy (but not the name O'Keefe,
Calvin or Malfoy!). I own some of the plot, me thinks.

The Real Me
Last time..
Hermione didn't encounter anyone until she was near the Fat Lady. Harry and Ron were standing outside the entrance, talking. They saw each other at the exact same moment. Hermione saw Harry's and Ron's shocked expressions, which turned to frightened ones. Hermione had just enough time to hear Harry shout, "Hermione look out!" Before everything went black.
Chapter 20
***** Hermione groaned as she slowly regained consciousness. She blinked rapidly as her eyes adjusted to the light. Well, rather lack of light. Hermione was met with darkness. She couldn't tell where she was. Hermione slowly reached a hand up to feel the wall she was leaning against. It was made of stone. Was she in the dungeons?
Hermione was unable to continue her train of thoughts, though. She was interrupted by a cold voice coming from inside the darkness. "Ah, Miss Carlton-Snape. You have finally woken up I see." The person stepped out of the darkness and Hermione gasped as she realized whom it was.
***** Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmaster's Office
Albus Dumbledore sighed as he attempted to drone out all the yelling in his office so he could think. He looked around at the people in the room. There was Amethyst, sitting upright on the Victorian Chair, deathly pale. Standing beside her was Calvin, trying to calm Emerald down as she screamed. Emmie had tears rolling down her cheeks. Amethyst seemed beyond tears. Sirius Black and Severus Snape were standing, shouting at each other, apparently arguing, while Remus Lupin was next to them, trying to get them to stop. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were sitting on a velvet couch conjured out of air. Both looked shocked and rather upset. Sitting a meter away from them was Victoria and Lila and Draco Malfoy. The last three looked just as upset as Harry and Ron, but not as shocked. Also there was every staff member of Hogwarts, for they had a serious problem.
Dumbledore finally decided that he had had enough of the shouting. In the loudest and most commanding voice he could currently muster he yelled, "STOP!" Everyone in the room turned to look at the Headmaster. There was dead silence, as even Sirius and Severus stopped yelling. "If I may have your attention for one minute, please." After a pause, he continued without waiting for answers.
"I have called you all today because of a serious problem. One of our students has been kidnapped from this very castle, in front of two witnesses even. You know of whom I speak, Hermione Granger has been kidnapped by Lord Voldemort. It seems that the enemy has found a way to get past the magical barriers that make sure no one can apparate inside the Hogwart's grounds. We are not sure how yet, but we are working as quick as possible to find out." Dumbledore said.
The room erupted with voices, all trying to say something. Everyone accept Amethyst started screaming or yelling or talking. Amethyst looked like she was going to have a mental breakdown. Then she snapped. "SHUT UP ALL OF YOU BEFORE I KILL YOU!"
All was silent after Amethyst's statement. The room was much quieter then when Dumbledore had yelled. Amethyst was a Carlton, and the majority of the room knew what Carltons were like when they were angry. Amethyst turned to Dumbledore and gave him a quick half nod, telling him to continue.
Dumbledore smiled thankfully at her and began to speak again, "Well-" But was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Amethyst got up to answer it, looking as if she was going to kill the person who knocked. Amethyst opened the door and most looked very surprised when they saw who it was. Nacrissa and Lucius Malfoy were standing in the doorway, the former looking nervous and tired, the latter, impatient and angry. Lucius Malfoy strutted into the room, while is wife followed him timidly.
"Headmaster, how wonderful to see you in good health." Lucius said with a hint of sarcasm. His attention then turned to the rest of the people in the room. Seeing Lila and Draco in the corner with Victoria, he walked over to them. He took Victoria's hand and kissed it. "Always a pleasure, Miss O'Keefe." He told her with what sounded like amusement. "Good afternoon, Mr. Malfoy" Victoria replied, trying to sound respectful, but it was quite honest that she had no respect for this man. Victoria was working very hard to keep a look of disgust off her face. This man's house was the one that her cousin was invited to before she disappeared. And, she knew how he treated his children. He acted like Lila did not exist, never mentioning her to anyone, and was constantly trying to make Draco evil and a Death Eater. This man was one of the foulest beings on the face of the Earth, in Victoria's, and many other people's present opinions.
"Draco, come." He barked at his only son. Then he turned to Dumbledore and said, "My son will be away from school for awhile. I will be taking him today, and will let you know when he shall return." Dumbledore just gave a slight nod, but he had a look in his eye. If Hermione would have been there, should would have recognized it and told someone, but no one else could tell what it was. Draco opened his mouth to protest, but was silenced with a horrible look from Lucius. Lucius then turned to Lila and said, "Girl, you will stay here. I will send for you when I am ready for your return." Lila just glared at him. Lucius turned and left the room, taking Draco with him. Nacrissa whispered, "I'm sorry", softly to the room and turned and followed them meekly.
The room all looked visibly flustered. No one was sure what to do or what to say. Dumbledore sighed tiredly and began his explanation again. He had a plan. A very dangerous one at that, but he knew that they had to get Hermione from the clutches of the enemy, before it was too late, and the world was plunged into darkness.
*****
"You!" Hermione spat in surprise, "It's you! You were the one who knocked me out, you filthy little rat!" Hermione gazed at Peter Pettigrew, also known as Wormtail, in disgust. It was all coming back to her know, the contract, being Hermione again, seeing Harry and Ron and then getting knocked out. She had been kidnapped by the enemy! Hermione felt the anger rising in her. Her Carlton blood was boiling. She wanted to scream and cuss, but most of all, hurt that miserable rat and his Death Eater friends. And Voldemort. That letter had been a cover up. They had planned to kidnap her all along. Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of another. She could tell she was in a cell, and a dirty one at that, and there was only one small window. Hermione began to feel indignant. How dare they! How dare they-.
Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by the new comer's voice. "The boss wants to see you to talk about the prisoner." A voice that Hermione vaguely recognized said as he jerked his head slightly towards her. He was wearing black robes, like Wormtail, but he had a white mask on. Wormtail followed him out and left Hermione in her dark cell.
Hermione's anger turned into grief and sadness as the Death Eaters departed. Hermione felt utterly alone. "As if my life can get any worse or more complicated. Merlin, just let me be please. I want to go home. Please don't let them hurt me. I don't want to die. I have to be strong. I will be strong. I will laugh in the face of death. I will not let myself be scared of fire, steel or grief. I am stronger than these pathetic Death Eaters. I am stronger than Voldemort. I can do this. I will do this. Let me do this, oh please give me the strength to do this." Hermione whispered her thoughts softly to herself, and was surprised by her own voice. It was strong. She felt determined. Then she noticed she was bleeding.
"Great, just great!" Hermione thought. But she knew if she succumbed to this evil power, the world would face eternal darkness. She had to do this for the world. And for all those in the world she loved. With that in mind, she began to sing a song softly,
"I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored
I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
I'll tear it apart
I will lie for you
I can steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me
Violate all my love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored
I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I would wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be a part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you." Hermione knew she'd do all of that for the good of the world. And she figured she would have to do some of it soon. She decided she would face it head on.
*****
As the Headmaster of Hogwarts finished his talk about his plan and explanation, many glances were exchanged in the room. This was extremely risky. Most looked grimly determined. Dumbledore had left the whole Ella Carlton-Snape thing out. He figured it would be too much for some people to handle. He glanced at Harry and Ron, and he could tell they were slightly confused why some of these people were here. So, Dumbledore said, "The Order of the Phoenix will be helping us out in this operation. Some members are here; others are already stationed at their posts. Now, lets get ready, shall we?" The headmaster said and motioned for them to rise. Most people exited the room, preparing themselves mentally and on their way to prepare themselves physically. Minerva McGonagall stayed behind and asked the question that was on everyone's mind to Professor Dumbledore, "Will this work?"
Dumbledore replied grimly, "It has to."
End of Chapter 20
A/N: I AM SO SO SORRY! Lord, I've finally finished this how many days after I said it would be up? Like 13ish. Sorry! Thank you so much for the reviews though! I cannot believe I have 180. Wowies, thanks so much! I am very honored to have your feedback. Here are my thank yous, and thank you so much to everyone on this list!:
SugarGirl: Thanks for the review. What happened? This chapter happened. Do you like what happened? Was it different then what you thought would happen, or the same? I wrote more, and I really hope you like it. Thanks again so much!
Roman Lover: Wow thanks for the lovely compliments and review. I'm very flattered. Well, he was never named godfather, he just decided by himself to take up the post. You are right, the possibility of murder is open. Draco will be more active in the next chapter. Thank you again!
Gwyn: Thanks for the answers. It's very much appreciated. And thanks for the review too. And of course, the awesome compliments. I love compliments. You're a Herm/Harry voter, eh? Okay.. We shall see what happens. Truth be told, I don't know who she shall end up with yet. Thanks a ton again!
Danny's Girl: Well, it wasn't too much of a cliffhanger this time. I could have gone a bit farther, and it would have been a really nice cliffhanger. The last chapter one was pretty good, I must agree with you. Not evil though. Thanks so much for the compliments and the review!
Faerie Lover: Thank you for being one of my betas, and of course the awesome compliments and review! You were right; Voldemort did have her kidnapped. Don't you just hate him? Poor Mione. We shall see what I do with your answers. Hmm. Thanks again!
Silveretta: Hi again. Thanks for the review. And all of your very flattering compliments! It was very intentional. Minor plot detail that should come in later in this story or the sequel. Glad you liked the cliffhanger. Glad you will read it. Thanks so much!
KawaiinessPnay: Hmm.. Cherry Lips will probably be in the third last chapter. I think. I prefer here over Avril too, not much a fan of Avril, but her music fits the story. I'll check those out soon. I've been so busy. Going to Quebec tomorrow. Anyhoo, thank you a ton again!
Oriencor: I'm glad you are back. Thanks for the reviews! Glad you liked the costumes. No, I haven't, I should probably read that. Goodness knows I need another book to read. Everybody calls me Evil. I call my cousin and my best friend Evil. That's beside the point. Thank you again!
TwinAngels: Thanks for the reviews and the answers. I'm glad you like the cliffies, and would read the sequel. Thanks for the compliments too! I still have no idea who Hermione should end up with. You think Harry, eh? We shall see. Thanks so much again!
DarkWitch: Well, it wasn't as soon as you probably wanted this chapter up, but it got up eventually. Thanks for the reviews and the compliments. I love all of your celebrations. This alarm sounds very cool. Hope you like this chapter. Thank you again!
ParvatiPadma: I'm sorry Hermione came across that way. Well, Hermione was very tired and mad at herself a bit, and didn't want others to be mad at her. Besides, maybe it was that time of the month, lolz. Thanks for the review, I hope you continue reading!
TiGgEr: Nope, not a secret forever. Next chapter or after it should probably be revealed. I know, I like that cliffie. I know, both pairings have their pros and cons. Urg, so hard to decide. Thanks for the compliments, answers and reviews. Thanks a ton!
Arime Setta: Thanks for the compliments and review. I can't wait to read more of your story, making me wait is so mean. She should be revealing that soon enough, can't keep everyone in the dark forever. That is going to be very much fun to write. Thanks so much again!
Callista Moon: Hi, and thanks for the review. I'm glad you like the story. I'm glad some of my reviews like the cliffies, and don't call me evil. I don't mind being called evil though, because that's what I am. Thanks for the answers, compliments and the lovely review!
Thanks so much. This chapter was not beta-ed because I am leaving for Quebec City tomorrow and wanted to get this out before then. Sorry for any mistakes. Sorry for the delay. Talk to you soon, please review, thanks to all the awesome reviewers. Please help me reach my goal of 200 reviews by the time The Real Me is done. I would really love it. Thanks again!
