Chapter 8: Deinde (from that place)
Huh, Luna's mom not dead? Luna's dad not editing the Quibbler? And what's
it about Hermione's grandparents? You're about to find out...
and please, r/r again! I'm updating as fast as I can.
'My... grandparents?!?' Hermione gasped of surprise, almost falling from the edge of her seat. Romulus nodded. 'Wait a second. My grandparents,... they were Muggles!' she said confused. But Romulus shook his head. 'Your grandparents were Aurors.' Hermione felt as if somebody just told her she had dreamed everything about the Wizarding World. What was he saying? That she wasn't a Muggle after al? Before she could ask any further, Romulus added 'No, you are not a Muggle. That's one of the things Dumbledore kept from you.'
Hermione tried to figure out what she just heard. 'But then,.. my parents aren't Muggles either,... are they?' she tried. Romulus pressed a finger to his lips. 'I'll tell you everything.'
'Your grandparents, from your mother's, are Lovegoods-' Hermione widened her eyes in shock '-and your grandfather's brother is my father. Your grandfather was my uncle. Your mother is my niece.' He added. 'but, because your father was a Muggle, your mother wanted to become one too. Your father doesn't know a thing of the Wizarding World. But your mother does. That explains the fact why you're not a Muggle. And you're related to Luna.' He paused to let Hermione react.
but Hermione was in too much of a shock to react to anything of this. Her mind was racing. She was relative to the Lovegoods,.. her mother was a fullblood witch... and her grandparents had build a school?
'So the reason to bring you here,.. is not because you are so smart. It's because you were in danger at Hogwarts' he paused and took a breath. 'Every female in your family has great power. Your power needs to develope a lot, but it's certainly there. And Voldemort knows that too.' He paused again. Hermione was almost falling off her chair again. 'Your mother's mother was a powerfull witch. Your mother has powers too. Voldemort has attacked your mother once. This is because he wants to clear every person out of the way who has the possible chance of defeating him. But now your mother is a Muggle and doesn't use her power, Voldemort isn't after her anymore. Now he's after you.' He continued. Hermione's jaw dropped.
'To make it even worse, your friends with Harry Potter. That's why you had to move away from Hogwarts.' He finished. Hermione's eyes widened even more, but than narrowed and she stood up. 'So let me get this straight. I'm removed from Hogwarts because I have the possible power to defeat power and because I am friends with HARRY?!?' she raged.
'That is one way to see it. But that's not the way to see it. You were transfered to this school because you are safer here because you have less chance of being attacked by Voldemort when you're not around Harry. And here, we will help you develope your powers so you are strong enough if you have to face him someday.' He explained. But Hermione wouldn't listen. She opened the door and walked through it. There was no need for her to listen anymore.
In her room, she rubbed the little 'I' on the back of her hand three times with her thumb. It lightened up a bright orange way and she slowely began to speak.
'Harry? It's Hermione,...' she started. 'Hermione?' Harry was sitting in the common room and quickly got to his feet and moved to a corner where he could talk unnoticed. 'Yes,.. I'm listening. Everything alright?' 'It's terrible. I just found out a lot of things,...' Hermione said, followed by explaining everything in detail.
'I'm coming over Hermione. You need to come back here!' Harry whispered urgent. 'You can't,.. I haven't got a clue where I am,..' Hermione replied lost. Harry sighed. 'Whatever happens Hermione. Don't lose it. Ron and I are going to get you back,...okay?' 'Okay,.. don't do stupid things,.. please. I don't want you two to be expelled. I'll talkt to you soon again' she said, before rubbing the 'I' three times again.
In the corridors Hermione met Luna. Luna already knew about the story and suddenly began to speak. 'You probably wonder why my mom isn't dead,...' she started. Hermione clapped her hand in front of her mouth. That was true! She forgot about that! Luna continued; 'Her death was pretended. She isn't dead. We wanted Voldemort to believe that. She's very powerfull,...' Luna's gaze turned to the ceiling. 'But I did see my brother die...' 'You had a brother?' Hermione asked. Luna smiled vaguely. 'Yes,.. he was a lot like Ronald Weasley. Though I like Ronald in another way....' Luna trailed off again.
Harry couldn't sleep that night. Ginny had helped him with some of his homework (though she was younger, she knew more). But he just couldn't sleep. Ginny couldn't replace Hermione. Not in a single way...
