Chapter 13: Emma Rald
When the trio entered the common room Hermione was bombarded with questions. Harry told everyone what he planned on. Ron followed him, but accidentally let it slip that Crabbe was in Dumbledore's office.
When Hermione got into her dormitory, she sat on her bed and began to read the book Draco had given her, with her necklace in her hand and one of those really big pixi-stix in her other hand (A/N can I help it if I LOVE! red pixi-stix?)
'The Riddle line began with the ageless, Emma Rald. In the final battle, her entire clan was killed, including her mate, Oz, who dies in her arms. She was the last of her kind. On his deathbed, Oz gave Emma a silver necklace. It was silver with black coils on it. Oz said that the black represented the evil in the world and the more evil in the world, the more the black would surround the silver. Emma tried to open the necklace, for it was a locket, but it would not open. Oz told her that it would open when the time was right.
Emma spent the next century traveling the world until she met her second husband, Oswald. Oswald was a wizard living in the muggle world working as a doctor. They gave birth to Gaia, who was a prophet. On her sixteenth birthday, Gaia made a prediction. She said: 'one day a girl will raise above the calling and the silver will shine again and that the four will be reborn to do it right'. Gaia gave birth to a vela named Annabelle. Annabelle gave birth to a telepathic witch. This continued with each line. All Rald women have married a wizard and given birth to a daughter of a new specie.
In 1723, Emma's great granddaughter (of course many more greats, but you get the idea) Mona married a wizard named Casper. These two were chosen to become the wizarding world's first royal family. In 1967, the first male to be born was born. He was given the name Tom Marvolo Riddle. He was not only the first male born into the Rald line, but until then, all Rald women had only given birth to one child. Two years later, his sister was born. Her name was Cassara. She was born with lethal powers, such as the ability to fly, take away the life of another with the blink of an eye and put people into pain, as the cruciacious (A/N spelling?) curse only without a wand. She was also given the powers of all of her ancestors, as the rest of the family. The powers of each woman were passed down to each child, until this family. Cassara was the only child of Maya Gilda Riddle to receive the powers of her ancestors.
Cassara married a demon. This was a first as well considering that all women of the Rald line married a wizard. She gave birth to a girl at twenty years of age, but a few weeks after the baby was born, she was taken to a safer home. The kingdom was attacked that night and Princess Cassara was taken captive. She killed several Death Eaters in the process. She did not return to the kingdom until 2002 when she escaped from the clutches of He- Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. No one except her husband knows where princess Hermione is, or if she is even still alive.'
Hermione looked up from the book. The rest was really just details. She looked down to where it spoke of Tom Riddle.
'Tom Marvolo Riddle was the second child of Maya Gilda Riddle. He was the first male child to be born. He was also the first second child to be born. His father was not Maya's husband. She and her husband Atticus were separated (this was the first couple to get divorced) for approximately nine months. Within this time Maya fell in love with a muggle man named Tom Marvolo. His last name was coincidentally Riddle. After Prince Tom was born, Maya told his father that she was a witch. He fled after finding this out. Maya got back together with Atticus after this. They have been happily married since then.
In 1978, on Tom's eleventh birthday, he fled the castle. He was sent into the past. No one knows when or where he went or if he is still alive. Records show that there was a Tom Marvolo Riddle who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1945-1952.
This Tom M. Riddle was an orphan. His mother died in the process of giving birth to him. His father was a muggle who was Tom's namesake. He was head boy in 1952. That is all that is known about Tom Marvolo Riddle from that time.'
Hermione stopped reading again. She turned to find something about the princess Hermione.
'Princess Hermione was born in late August. At a few weeks old she was taken from her crib in the middle of the night by her father, who took her to a hideout. Not much is know about her other than if she is still alive she is sixteen this year (2004).'
That was all that was written about her. Hermione scanned the rest of the book. It was mainly details about the rest of the family. It turns out that Emma Rald was still alive and lived in the kingdom.
There were no pictures in the book, except of the necklace that hung around my neck on the cover.
"I wonder why Dumbledore wanted me to read about the Ralds/Riddles" Hermione thought aloud.
"Oh Hermione!" a voice called from the stairs.
Hermione didn't want to face anyone right now.
"Hermione, why weren't you answering us?" Parvati asked as she and Lavender walked into the room.
"Oh, I didn't hear you. Sorry" she lied.
"Well, we just wanted to tell you again that we're sorry about this summer." Lavender sat on Hermione's bed "We also wanted to tell you that we're sorry for any pain we caused you or anything we did to you in the third year"
"Why?" Hermione was becoming confused
"Well-" Lavender nudged Parvati in the ribs
"No, I want to know" Hermione urged
"We want to tell you, but we're not allowed to" Lavender explained
"Why?"
"Dumbledore told us, the heads and Blaise Zabini to keep an eye on you six while you were stuck in the compartment to make sure nothing happened" Parvati blurted out
"Why wouldn't Dumbledore want you to tell m this?"
"Because you stripped down to your panties twice, you bad girl"
"And got into a fist fight with Malfoy"
"And other stuff that is strictly not allowed to be mentioned, otherwise we grow horns, turn green, and lose our voices and hair" Lavender finished.
"We also saw Harry tell you guys about our drunk night. Us three and Ginny had a foursome."
"And Malfoy was actually civil"
"Pansy and Harry made out for fifteen minutes and came back all messed up"
"Wow, I really did forget a lot. But Harry actually said in front of Ron that he shagged Ginny?" Hermione was ready to pass out
"Mhm, Ron was so upset" Lavender giggled.
"Well, it has been a long day apparently. I think I shall go to sleep now" Hermione said as she enlarged her trunk. She took out her favorite Good Charlotte shirt, which showed her stomach and was two sizes too small and her sort green boxers. "Shit" she said as she remembered that she had Harry and Ron's luggage. She grabbed the miniatured bags and ran into the common room, forgetting what she was wearing.
She looked around the room, but didn't see her two friends.
"Have you seen Harry or Ron?" Hermione asked Seamus and Dean. The just gawked at her. Hermione began to feel self-conscious and then remembered what she was wearing.
"Try the dormitory," Jared, a seventh year, said. "Are you new here?"
"No, I just look different." Jared tried to place her. "Hermione Granger"
"Hermione!? No, you look great! Not that you were ugly before or anything, but you look so different" Jared rambled.
"Thanks, I guess" she smiled.
"You got your naval pierced? Wicked."
"Thanks." She noticed something on his chest. "I see you got Head Boy. Congratulations."
"Thank you." There was an awkward silence
"Well I guess I had better go find Ron and Harry" Hermione said. She walked up to the sixth year boys' dormitory.
"Harry? Ron?" Hermione asked as she walked into the room.
"They went to the kitchens to get some food. You can go also, Dumbledore told me to tell you." Neville said, not moving his eyes from his book.
"Thanks" Hermione ran to her dormitory to grab a cloak. She ran out of the common room on search of her two friends.
