A short delay and I am bombarded with reviews… I sign in to MSN and 30 new emails were in my inbox… 28 from FF.Net

           

Enjoy!

            Hermione awoke from her deep, thought-provoking dream. Her Patronus. What was everyone's problem with this spell? Wasn't her otter enough? Now it ended up in a different form, was this possible?

            Hermione must have been moving an awful lot, because Draco opened his eyes to see a worried Hermione. He brought his mouth to her ear and whispered,

            "What's wrong my dove? You seem tense," Hermione shivered, "You're not usually like this, I should know, I've woken up with you for 21 years."

            "22, Draco, 22. Remember after the battle against Voldemort?" Hermione smiled, it had been a while since she was this happy, the last time was 2 ½ months prior to this event.

            "But… You can't be, I mean, we made sure!" Draco explained.

            "You did Draco, but I didn't. I took some hormones, hoping that we could have another Lavender, because…" Hermione stated, but couldn't continue because of her flowing tears.

            Draco comforted her; he could see what was troubling her. Lavender was to leave home, leaving Hermione and Draco alone. That is the reason they had Lavender in the first place, so Hermione would have someone to care and look after.

            "But are you sure it's a girl?" Draco asked, a small dissatisfaction was in his voice.

            "Drake, I know how much you wanted a boy to continue the Malfoy name, but it's a girl, we – that is, Poppy and I – triple checked, and all three times it came out pink."

            "Well, another girl wouldn't be so bad, but I still wanted a boy."

            It was Hermione's turn to comfort Draco, he had wanted a boy before they had Lavender, for 2 months, they went without knowing if it was a boy or girl, but Draco, and Hermione, couldn't hold it in anymore. They immediately went to Poppy to get the results. Just like this time, they triple checked it. And all three times, it came out Pink.

            "Hermione, I haven't seen you smile in forever, what seems to be bothering you my dove?" Draco asked, holding Hermione's hand so she wouldn't be able to get away.

            "Well, I knew that something like this would happen, and I was waiting until the end to find out. If I hadn't fainted, I would have had to wait 3 months before I noticed anything." Hermione smiled, Draco was happy now.

            "Is that a sincere smile, or are you faking it on my behalf?" Draco asked playfully.

            "Now Draconis, would I kid you?" Hermione asked, getting a pillow thrown at her head, "Draco!" Hermione laughed.

           

            "Now, my dove, tell me what's wrong?" Draco asked, but Hermione was being stubborn again.

            "Draco, I can't tell you, it's personal!"

            "Bloody Hell woman, I've been your husband for 20 years, and you're not going to tell me? You've told me everything else you've ever thought personal, but you won't tell me this?"

            Hermione looked at Draco, "It's about Harry and Luna. Didn't they seem strange, I mean, compared to the ones from my world."

            "My dove, this is a different world from yours, and who says that these 2 are from our worlds? How do we know that they aren't from another crystal world?"

            "Draco, I remember something Dumbledore told me when you left me that December. He said: Hermione, there is something about that crystal you must know. If it makes a mistake, it must be wrongly connected, meaning that only the two worlds are connected. Those two worlds can never be connected to another world, unless the Rosetta Stone goes through it…"

            "But the Rosetta Stone did go through it; you brought it to my world. You told me."

            "True my dragon, but I used the Eden Flower to come to this world, so the stone never truly came into contact with the crystal. Now let me continue: unless the Rosetta Stone goes through it. If the Rosetta Stone doesn't go through it, then the two crystals shall forever be connected together, forever. Now Hermione, please talk…"

            Hermione stared at the door of their dorm as the door creaked open, to reveal Lavender. Lavender walked slowly over to her parents and handed them three wands, the ones from the supposed 'Ginny, Harry, and Luna'.

            "Draco, can you check the register on these, I have a feeling we are going to find out the truth right now."

            Draco took out his wand, "Priori Incantato!" Words appeared over top of the three wands, all the same, Magis, Defigo Palma, Fidelius Diffindo, Impedimenta, Stupefy, Nex, Nox, Lumos, Avada Kedavra, Finite Incantatum, Crucio, Imperio, Apparate – Cimmerii Castrum, Adepertum, Accio, Cura, Lumos, Moblicorpus, Expecto Patronum, Nox, Lumos, Nex Necis.

            The wind blew the rest of the spells away, and the trio were left to think about what they had just learnt.

            "It can't be…" Draco said.

            "I'm afraid so dragon, she's been right under our nose the entire time!"

            Rosetta, Dumbledore, Lavender, and Draco were waiting in the room of Requirement, turned into a blacksmithery. Hermione had asked them to meet her there and turn the room into just that. Dumbledore had cleaned the dust off of the entire room; the last time he was in here was in the old Hogwarts.

            Hermione walked in the door, with her finest dress on, "Sorry to keep you waiting, but I couldn't decide on the right dress. Anyways, down to business, she has been under our noses the entire time, and we haven't even realized it."

            Dumbledore, Rosetta, and Draco nodded, but Lavender was confused, she wasn't quite sure who she was. Lavender took out her wand and pointed it at her mother.

            "Mrs. Malfoy, you have come to a good conclusion, but you weren't smart enough this time. I have not just been under your nose; I've been right beside you!"

            Hermione laughed, this made the supposed Lavender flinch. Why in the name of the gods was she laughing? Lavender had them in a corner.

            "I knew you were coming here and would be in Lavender, just so you could surprise us. Look behind you."

            Lavender turned her head and Dumbledore, Rosetta, Draco, and Lavender had their wands out, ready to attack, "Personatus Inflammare!"

            The Polyjuice disguise fell off of the woman, leaving the evil monster staring at the mages. She was there, with no escape, and no wand, with four wands pointed at her, ready to attack at anytime.

            "Time to surrender, Morgana LeFaye!" Rosetta yelled.
