Chapter 1-Changes and The Prophecy
I looked in the mirror and hated what I saw. A 15 year old girl who looked as plain as the day with no curves, who was slightly fat, no breathtaking features, no full and luscious lips, or eyes that sparkled liked the sun. Just a plain boring girl I'll always be, but still, I can't help but envy them, the pretty and popular people of Hogwarts, hell even the whole Earth. I can't believe that I actually thought that there was someone who would want me, someone who would hold me, care for me, and love me.
'But that was just too much to ask,' I thought remembering that day when I caught my supposedly loving boyfriend cheating on me. I had been on prefect patrol with Padma, the Ravenclaw prefect, when we heard some noise from the Transfiguration classroom and decided to check it out…
"Hey Padma, do you think we should check out that noise?"
"Ya, come on."
We walked closer and decided to put a charm on our ears so we could hear what was going on before we broke up the fun.
"Harry baby, I'm gonna come soon. Harry. HARRY. HARRY!¡!"
I then pushed open the door and saw the one thing I thought I would never see, Harry and Ginny on top of each other on McGonagall's desk doing their "stuff". Padma looked over at me knowing that I had just caught my boyfriend/best friend cheating on me with my other best friend, Ron's, little sister.
I looked at them and said one word, filled with so much emotion that Padma felt her heart go out to her peer next to her, "Why?"
With that said I left, crushed, sad, defeated, and above all, forlorn.
Tears were forming at the edges of my eyes and I hastily brushed them away deciding one thing. Change. But then something suddenly happened I was suddenly tired and decided to go downstairs to eat some breakfast.
"Morning mum, dad."
"Morning hun," replied my mother.
"Morning princess," my father.
But then I started feeling dizzy and nauseous and just plain funny. I raised the glass of orange juice to my lips when-
CRASH.
The glass slipped out of my hand and I fainted.
!¡!¡! 5 hours later ¡!¡!¡
I woke up seeing myself surrounded in a room of white with little pictures dotted around the room as my only source of colour. Then the door opened after my small, if not short, assessment of this room and entered Professor Albus Dumbledore, current headmaster of Hogwarts.
"Hello Ms. Granger, good to know you seem to be doing well I need to reveal to you your heritage, your true heritage. Your blood instead of being muggle born is the exact opposite, as you are from the purest of pureblood in the wizarding world. You are a Merus your last name in itself means pure. You probably are wondering where your parents are and why they haven't taken care of you for your whole life. The truth is that they wanted to protect you from Voldemort because when Harry's prophecy was made after that Sibyll, or as you know better, Professor Trewlaney, had a prophecy that only few know of, they include your parents, brother, me, and know you. This was the prophecy.
A child born in the month of the sapphire
Holding powers untold unseen by mortals
Two choices she faces the result so dire
The next dark queen or the next savior of Earth
The second choice a worrisome one
Two boys rivals in the same house
One she must choose
One boy is the key to her being savior
The other the key to her being the dark queen
Which boy is which is still untold
This child will also wield knowledge beyond her age
The sapphire child in the middle of it all
Ms. Granger, I mean Ms. Merus, I know you must be thinking along the lines that there are hundreds of people born in September but it is you who is the sapphire child. When your parents gave you away temporarily they had to put a charm to make you look different, have the features as if you would be a true Granger child. But there was also suppose to be a time when the charm would stop and you would change into what your true form is and now it's happened. Your parents wish for you to go with them to your true home, they are waiting right outside of this door as we speak, but understand if you wish to live with the Grangers."
I was stunned, shocked beyond belief and suddenly a thought struck me.
'Please, oh please let me look beautiful or even just cute or slightly pretty.'
"Professor if it isn't too much may I see a mirror?"
Dumbledore just chuckled and said, "I was waiting for that. Here you go," and conjured a full length mirror. I stood up and slowly walked up closing my eyes scared of what I might see. Slowly I opened my eyes and nearly fainted again from what I saw, my wishes were granted ten-fold and I looked like a model, I was now no longer a mere 5' 3" but 5' 8", no longer was I curveless but curveFULL, no longer was I slightly fat but had a flat skinny stomach not so skinny that I looked anorexic but so that I had a flat stomach. My hair fell in soft curls down her back and was a rich golden brown. I had almond shaped eyes that seemed to linger between all colours not truly a single colour and I had full luscious red lips. I now didn't hate what I saw in the mirror but loved it though not to the vain part. My posture was also perfected and I walked graciously instead of the old me's clumsy stumble. Then I remembered that Professor Dumbledore was there.
"Oh, yes, I'd love to go with my real parents should I go outside to see them?"
"We're right here dear."
I turned around and saw a lady who I presumed was my mother for she and I looked similar though her hair was straight and blonde. I then looked right next to her and I saw my father I noticed we looked not at all alike except our hair. Last I saw my brother who looked more like my father than anything else. I was in heaven and hugged each of them whom embraced me also. We said our good-byes with Professor Dumbledore and walked outside to the fireplace so we could floo.
"Hermione darling, just say Merus Estates and you'll be there."
"Okay, thanks mum." I grabbed a handful of floo powder and threw it into the fire and said, "Merus Estates" and was gone.
