Chapter 20
They were the best she had. Hermione and Draco were walking into the Entrance Hall, Professor Snape and McGonagall we suppose to meet the two children and lead them up to their Common Rooms.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy." McGonagall said coming up to them.
Malfoy cleared his throat, "I would appreciate it if you called her by her real last name, Potter." McGonagall and Snape's mouths dropped to the ground.
"So, you're a Potter, too. Should have guessed," Snape spat out at her. "Let's go, Mr. Malfoy." Draco nodded and hugged Hermione goodnight.
"Well, Miss Potter, let's have you go up to your room, shall we?" McGonagall asked, and Hermione nodded. They went up to the Fat Lady and said, "Quaffles."
"Goodnight, Miss Potter," Professor McGonagall said leaving. It felt so weird to be called Miss Potter, even though that was who she really was.
Hermione giggled at the site that she saw in front of her, in front of one of the fires, Ginny and Harry were asleep on the couch. Harry had his arms around her stomach, and they looked so cute, then Hermione looked up at her boyfriend, Ron. Ron was cuddled up in an armchair, and Ron was obviously uncomfortable. At that moment Ron looked up and saw Hermione. Hermione shook her head and put her finger over her mouth for him to hush, but she was too late. "Hermione!" Harry and Ginny woke up to Ron screaming like a mad fool. They looked up, and there was Hermione. They motioned for her to sit. Harry and Ginny sat up, but Harry still had his arms around Ginny's waist and Hermione went to sit on Ron's lap in the arm chair he was sitting in. Hermione looked up at the clock 3 a.m. again, 'I'm never going to get the right amount of sleep.'
"So love, how was it? Is Larissa nice, is she your mother? What happened?" Ron asked obviously scared for her, in which Harry and Ginny just laughed at Ron. "What? Is it a crime to be worried about your girlfriend?" Ron asked pulling Hermione closer to him.
"No, there's nothing wrong with worrying about her, but there is a problem with being obsessed!" Harry said cracking up, and Ginny began to giggle.
"Ha, Ha. So funny Harry. Sorry I forgot to bloody laugh!"
"Okay, could the both of you just shut up, so Hermione can tell us what happened?" Ginny said laughing at the looks on Ron and Harry's face.
They both looked at each other evilly, "Sure, Ginerva." Both Harry and Ron said, laughing at the look of disgust on Ginny's face.
Hermione started to laugh at Ginny's face, "Okay, Ginny. I love you to death, but that's the ugliest face, ever." Hermione began to go into giggle attacks. "Okay, anyways, you wanted to hear what happened at the Hospital, right?" T hey all nodded their heads in agreement. "Alright, well Larissa, is one of the most sweetest woman I have ever meet. Narcissa isn't that bad either, she's just been stuck with that prude, Lucius Malfoy. That's why Malfoy is such a pain in the butt, because Lucius has never given him any attention."
"Okay, love, but we don't want to know all this crap about the Malfoy's family, can you get on?" Ron asked, perturbed by saying the name 'Malfoy.'
"That's where I was going, if you hadn't interrupted me." Hermione said ignoring Ron and went on. "Well, supposedly, when Narcissa, James, Lily, Sirius, Bella, Remus, and Lucius all went here, back in the day, of course we all know that they hated each other. James and Narcissa already knew each other because their parents had been friends for years. Around the time that James and Lily, and Bella and Sirius all started dating. Narcissa and Remus met each other and began to date, Lucius was furious. Lucius had been in love with Narcissa for years, as we all know that Snape had been the same about Lily. Then Narcissa started to hang out in the Marauder's little clique. Since Narcissa always had to be in the 'in crowd' and everything she did, her friends always had to agree with. Remus and Narcissa dated from two weeks before Christmas Holidays their 6th year, until Halloween year of their 7th year."
"Remus told Malfoy's mum didn't he?" Harry asked feeling sorry for Remus, he was always discriminated for being a werewolf.
Hermione nodded, "Yes, that night Remus pulled out a promise ring for Narcissa. Remus slipped it on Naricissa's finger, she went hysterical, and took it she was so happy. Remus whispered that he loved her in her ear. Then Narcissa began to sob, when he said that he'd do anything for her. Narcissa responded that she'd do the same, and so Remus thought that he could trust her with his secret. When she found out, she looked at him disgusted and threw the ring in his face, walking away."
"Wait a minute!" Ron said realizing something, "Is it that really little silver ring that he keeps on a chain around his neck?" Hermione nodded and Ron went on, "As long as I've known him he always has that ring around his neck."
"Remus is waiting for Narcissa to come to her senses and come back to him. Anyways, that stupid doctor kept putting off time to tell us if I am Adora or not. Finally, he told me that it was 99.9 positive that I was Adora Aimee Potter, daughter of Anthony Potter and Larissa Crane. A couple of moments later Lucius came in and started going off about why the hell was there a Mudblood in the room with his mother-in-law. Draco went off on him, told him to never call his pureblood aunt that again. Lucius looked at me with disgust, the little secret that I was, had finally been revealed, and he'd failed. Now his master will get him for this. Then, Narcissa handed Lucius some divorce papers, and grabbed Draco and my hand and brought us back to Hogwarts."
"Sounded like you had a very eventful day," Ginny said yawing, and Hermione just nodded.
"So what do we call you know? Hermione Granger, Hermione Potter, Adora Granger, or Adora Potter?" Ron asked her seriously.
"I really don't know, I'll have to give it some thought. Hermione Potter doesn't sound right. Everyone will think Harry and I got married. I think McGonagall said that their going to start calling me by my real name, Adora Potter."
"So know, you really do have a family now Adora." Harry said, and then something hit him. "Do you think Narcissa is going to go back to Remus? You know and beg for a second chance?"
"The way my mum said that they were, I bet that she would." Hermione said nodding, "But, don't call me Adora. I like Hermione better for now, I think the teacher's have to call me that, because that's my real witch name. For now call me Hermione, I'm not use to Adora, yet." They all nodded. Time sure did pass, it was already 4:30. Ron seemed to notice it too.
"We'd better get to bed, night Hermione." Ron said kissing the top of her forehead. Ginny was already asleep so Harry started to carry her up to bed.
"I'll leave you to alone for a couple of minutes, so you can say a proper good-night." Harry said chuckling, "But, don't take any advantage of my aunt."
Harry continued to carry Ginny upstairs to her dormitory, Harry sat Ginny down in her bed and pulled the covers up to her chin, tucked her in, began to walk off. Until, Harry felt her tug at his hand. Harry turned around to see if anything was wrong with her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Ginny asked sleepily.
"To bed, good-night, sweetheart," Harry said kissing Ginny's head and began to walk off again, but Ginny grabbed his hand again.
"No, your not going anywhere," Ginny said trying to pull him into her bed.
"Even though, we haven't done anything and we won't. Ron would kill me if he found out that I'd stayed the night with you." Ginny gave him a baby pout face.
"Good night," Harry shut her draperies, and he walked to the door turned around and Ginny was already asleep.
Harry got downstairs, and Hermione and Ron were still talking. Looked like they were in a really heavy conversation. Harry didn't want to disturb them, so he went up to his bed changed into his pajamas.
Meanwhile back at Arabella's house…
Arabella and Sirius were asleep and perfectly in peace, when all of a sudden the door was slammed down. Arabella screamed, Sirius got up and told her to stay in their bed. T here was a laugh and the person at the door drew out his wand and pointed it directly at Sirius…..
