Rating: PG13 (May go up)
Genre: Romance (H/Hr) Angst
A/N: This fic takes everything you know about HP and its characters and turns it upside down. You have been warned! Please review, feedback is really helpful. Anyway, On with the story!
Ann and John Granger. A perfectly respectable family, oblivious to what is really going on in the world around them. Or are they? Did you ever wonder how Voldemort was able to murder all those muggles? How he knew where and how to get around all those muggle safety devices such as alarms and never get caught? After all, he had no way of knowing, having disowned his muggle father and having refused to take Muggle Studies. The answer lies within the Granger family. You have been lead to believe they are muggles to the core, hated by all who claim to be pure bloods. Nothing could be further from the truth.
"What is the truth?" I hear you ask. In actual fact, the truth is quite simple. In Hogwarts, the students are taught to protect themselves against the dark arts. Taught how to fight off curses, destroy unfriendly creatures etc. However, there is one dark art, the darkest of all, for which there is no defence. This art cannot be taught, for it is a talent which only the darkest of witches and wizards posses. The art of deception.
Where do the Granger's come into all of this? For generations the Grangers have been assisting all the darkest sorcerers with their quest to purge the world of all mud bloods. You see, history has forgotten Grainne Granger, the most powerful, darkest witch to ever walk the earth. She managed to win the affection of Salazar Slytherin. Together, the two worked hand in hand. However, her role was overshadowed by that of Slytherin. Forgotten. The Grangers began to sink further into the shadows, until the time came when they were able to fashion themselves a new identity as muggles. By this, they were able to pass on vital information to their masters, thus continuing the work of Salazar Slytherin.
Then came Harry Potter. No one could have guessed that a baby could halt the actions of the heir of Slytherin. Suddenly the Grangers were given a new role to play. Alongside the Malfoy family, their closest friends and allies, they began to devise a plot that would one day bring Voldemort back to power. A plot that relied solely on the actions of their children - Hermione and Draco.
Time - Just after Harry the baby has been attacked
Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy alongside Ann and John Granger held a meeting in Malfoy Manor
Lucius gave Ann a warm smile.
"Your hour has come at last, my friend," Ann smiled. Lifting up her baby daughter from her cot she turned to face Lucius.
"No, Hermione's hour has come. It has been far too long since a Granger entered Hogwarts."
Narcissa rocked her own child in her arms.
"Then she is lucky she has Draco to guide her," she commented.
"But you do understand what she must do?" Lucius demanded. John Granger surveyed his friend.
"My daughter will carry out her task to the letter. There is no need to fret Lucius. She shall enter--he grimaced as he said the next word-- Gryffindor and gain Potter's trust."
"And we can only hope" Ann added "that he will reveal enough to her to let us bring back out Lord once and for all".
Lucius smiled.
"Then let us drink to our children. A toast, to Hermione and Draco. Saviours of Slytherin!"
Their glasses clinked and the night wore on. Only thing they could do now was to wait and see if their plan was to be successful.
