Happy Birthday
After Potions Blaise took all three children to their room as Hermione went off to one of her extra classes. Blaise put on the DVD Hermione had transformed so it was like a CD player but the images would magically appear. He went into the common room and started on his homework for Potions. When he was on the last foot however, he heard talking outside of the door. That's when it hit him. He had totally forgot about his Godmothers favorite pass time. Pranks. Lily was outside talking to Peeves about something, and if she had to enroll Peeves it would be a prank on the whole school. He walked over to the picture and pressed his ear to it. They had the painting talking too so he couldn't make out what they were saying. She was as bad as Hermione when it came to being right.
Suddenly Blaise heard crying so he dashed into the nursery to find Emily crying hysterically. She never cried that much, not since Harry tried to pick her up. Blaise looked around the room. Michelle had her bubble on her and Damien. Blaise quickly picked up Emily and charmed her mind so he could read the last ten minutes. Someone had come in and injected a liquid into Emily so Michelle thought her contaminated, didn't cover her. Blaise looked at the other two safe inside the bubble. He groaned, taking Emily to the Hospital Wing meant that the other two would be alone. Just then he heard the door behind him open. He spun around, wand at the ready.
"Chill Blaise, me myself and I. I just wanted to know if you and Hermione wanted in on the prank considering that you have three babies insted of two it won't work on you guys anyway." Lily said.
"So thoughtful. Actually, Lily, you used to be a mediwitch right?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah, what seems to be the problem babe." she asked, staring at Michelle's bubble.
"Emily was injected with something and I don't know what to do because the person is probably in the room still I don't want to leave Michelle and Damien." Blaise said quickly and in one breath.
"Let me see. Oh, who's a good baby, your a good baby!" she cooed as Emily was set in her arms. She created a glowing blue orb instantly and scanned Emily's body. To Blaise's surprise, Emily was giggling. "She's just been poisoned. Probably nab work." Lily said. She rolled her eyes at Blaise's confused look. "She's been poisoned in the wrong proportions, they know about Michelle and that bubble. They weren't trying to kill her, they were trying to kidnap her. Hold Emily. Oh, the poising will leave her system naturally, no worries." Lily said as she started to look around the room, she started to sing.
"One of these things is not like the other, one of these doesn't belong, one of these things is not like the other, Poof! and they're gone." Lily stopped in front of an empty corner and threw a stunning curse and revealing curse so quickly Blaise hardly saw it. He watched her pull the invisibility cloak off and check their pulse.
"He's just a DE, no harm. Easy swipe." Lily said. "Right, idiot in the room. He's a Death Eater, they won't destroy anything at Hogwarts because they're building strength for their surprise attack. Tried to get in and out quickly." she explained.
"Who is it?" he asked. Lily sighed and turned away as she lowered the hood. She already had guessed who it was. "Father?" Blaise asked in shock.
"He's stunned, he can't talk." Lily stated. "But yup, it's your pops alright. Poor dear probably just got over feeling like crap too. That implies desperation. Only him, hastiness. Poson, he wasn't too rash. Over all it might have actually worked." Lily said if only to try to distracted Blaise a bit.
"That means there could be one after Hermione too." Blaise said.
"No, I just said no others, he was hasty. But now that you mention it, it isn't good to bet peoples lives. I can handle the little cuties, you can go tell Dumbledore, alright?" Lily asked as she sat down and started humming along to the DVD.
"Sure, enjoy the torture DVD." Blaise called as he ran out of the room only to immediatly freeze when he saw the common room in shreds and filled with Death Eaters. "LILY!" he screamed.
Lily heard her name and quickly put a charm on the babies so they were protected from almost everything. She hoped they wouldn't choke on something. She raced out of the nursery to see a room full of Death Eaters and Blaise frozen from shock on the steps. She walked over to Blaise and casually put an arm around his shoulder. "Yes?" she asked.
"The room is Death Eaters, what do you mean, yes?" he whispered harshly at her.
"Well, the room filled with Death Eaters is hardly reason to call me, just stun them." Lily said, not bothering to lower her voice. All attention was on her. "Marvelous. Everyone's eyes on this hand!" she called as she lifted up her left hand high in the room. "While I kill you with this hand." she muttered as she started muttering complicated curses she knew like the back of her hand. Blaise just watched, she was winning, why did she need his help. For some reason, once about three fourths of the Death Eaters were dead, they finally realized they were under fire and started to attack, so Lily switched to stunning them because the curse is so much easier to say. Once all the Death Eaters were stunned, she turned toward Blaise.
"Alright there?" she asked.
"I was just missed by five spells, perfectly aimed spells. You put a bubble charm on me." Blaise stated without emotion.
"Had to keep my little baby safe," she said as she pinched his cheek, effectively waking him from his daze. "Let's get you in a safe room." Lily said, seriously. "I'll get Hermione then too." Lily took up the now unprotected babies and started towards the middle of the common room, Blaise in tow. Lily put the babies on the couch and put her wand in the ground and muttered a password. A trap door swung open and she jumped inside, babies in hand. Blaise followed suit, but had more trouble landing. He looked around to find it looked like a cozy little house.
"I've got to go get Hermione and talk to Dumbley dork." she called as she rushed up the rope ladder. Why was she always so happy? Blaise rolled his eyes at Dumbledore's messed up name and turned to his three children. He was locked in a house with three babies. Great! He noticed that all of the babies were staring at him so he looked around out of habit before sitting down and making silly faces to make them laugh.
Mean while, Lily hopped out of the trap door and looked at all the Death Eaters. Wow, just call it the ugly club, she thought as she double checked they were all stunned. Then when she was sure no one was watching she apparated to the hallway outside of Hermione's class. She swung open the door and everyone's attention turned toward her.
"Is there something I can help you with... who are you?" the teacher asked raising her wand.
"I'm Lily, but we haven't time. Hermione, we really must go. The- It isn't a good idea to freak everyone out is it. Oh, well. There was twenty Death Eaters in your common room and another tried to snatch Emily. You must come." Lily said.
"She will not leave with a stranger!" the teacher protested.
"But I already know her and her me. We aren't strangers," she gestured between Hermione and herself, "We are strangers." she gestured between herself and the teacher.
"How do we know you aren't a Death Eater." the teacher demanded. Lily rolled her eyes and rolled up her sleeve. The Dark Mark was plain for you to see. "Your a Death Eater."
"Well duh! But really, Hermione needs to get with Blaise and the babies in the safe house. Everyone should go to their safe houses but that's why I'm going to see Dumbledore next. She must come now! The war is upon us and your wasting time!" Lily said desperately.
"You're a Death Eater!" the teacher exclaimed.
"I'm nutral you lunk head! I have a deal with both sides! I help the Dark gain strength and then I fight with and for the Light! I didn't even make the deal. Light got the better one too. But Hermione needs to come now or I'll take her! Oh, this is rubbish, good day!" Lily said as she rushed over to Hermione and the two apparated to Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore looked up.
"You shouldn't do that." he stated before smiling. "Lemon drop Miss Granger?" Hermione shook her head with a smile.
"No time, Death Eaters attacking. I'm finally on your side and they forgot the memory wipe. They're coming in only an hour. A single hour to put the innocent in safe houses and the fighters in groups. Hurry!" Lily screeched before grabbing Hermione and apparating into the safe house where Blaise was. Blaise looked up when he heard foot steps.
"Hello Hermione, how was class?" he asked with a laugh.
"Did you know Lily was a Death Eater?" Hermione asked.
"She isn't, she can take the mark on and off as she pleases because she was a POW during the first war. But when she knows they're close it stays." Blaise said.
"Oh, that makes more sense." Hermione said.
"It does but it takes so much longer to explain." Lily said as she sat down and picked up Michelle. "It's nice that you have a moon being, but you never did the ceremony, she'll lose all her power if you don't. Your running out of time." Lily said.
"Ceremony?" Hermione said, "Never said anything about that in the books."
"Useless information unless you're a moon being. Only they can perform them. Would you like it done?" Lily asked Hermione.
"Sure," Hermione said, "but where will we find a moon being?"
"How about right in front of you?" Blaise said.
"Very tactful babe. What he meant to say was I'm a moon being. Poor Michelle, likes Blaise better. She'd die from lack of food if he was left to take care of her. Probably never eats or sleeps. That would be odd." Lily said.
"How do you know?" Hermione asked.
"All of her magically energy is building up inside. It will all release when she can't hold it any more. She's really strong." Lily said. Suddenly, Lily and Michelle were gone but if you blinked again, they were back. "Done. I needed to do that so before Voldemort came. He might have sucked it from her."
"That was fast." Blaise commented.
"Yes, I know. I must leave you now. Please," Lily turned to Blaise and he could see unshed tears in her eyes. "stay safe." Then she disappeared without another word. What did she mean? Did she mean be careful or not to fight at all?
"I'm scared." Hermione said suddenly. "For all of our lives."
"Wait a second. Aren't you suppose to kill Voldemort because Harry can't?" Blaise asked.
"Oh my God! I have to go see Dumbledore! I'll be back... sometime." Hermione called as she fled up the rope ladder and to Dumbledore's office. She was met with a very odd scene. Harry was on a couch, he looked stunned, the order was all there, laughing and sipping tea, Lily was talking to Dumbledore. She raised an eyebrow.
"You understand a war is about to break loose, right?" she said, quieting everyone.
"We are waiting and trying to calm our nerves." Dumbledore said. "I was waiting for you to come. You do realize tomorrow is your birthday, don't you?"
"What? My birthday isn't for quite a while." she said.
"We fudged the truth so you wouldn't panic. We knew this was coming. That's why Lily is here, she is the assistant. She specializes in memories." Dumbledore said. "The only thing left to do is cancel the parenting project and Snape is working on it with McGonagol as we speak."
"So all I have to do is sit here and wait? These are all those who will defend Hogwarts? We'll lose!" Hermione said.
"No, you will save us, Sarah." Dumbledore said.
"I don't want to though. I want a normal life after this war!" Hermione protested.
"That's why I am here. Only you, me and Dumbledore will know. Blaise is debatable." Lily said with a smile.
"Everyone wants their memory changed?" Hermione asked in disbelief.
"We don't really get a say in it," Lupin piped up.
"What did you do with Harry?" Hermione said. "He can't fight like that."
"We can't afford to risk his life, he will be unconscious for two months. He won't recall anything." Dumbledore said.
"Fine, when do the attacks start?" Hermione said.
"Any second. You should change." Dumbledore said.
"But shouldn't we explain everything to Lily since she will remember?" Hermione asked.
"I really shouldn't say this but you probably will guess soon enough. I'm the ruler of Good. I knew that this would happen and came to protect Blaise and alter memories" Lily said with a smile. "Well, not that this isn't fun and all but I'm changing, dying isn't too appealing." Lily said as a white light engulfed her, turning her into a form much like Hermione's form. Hermione then engulfed herself in light blue light and the room stared at the two strange sights.
"I believe you two have work to do, we must go to the Ministry." Dumbledore said as everyone started to port key out of there until it was only the two immortals left.
"Well," the keeper of universal balance said, "let's go kick some evil butt!"
"For Blaise!" the ruler of good said.
"For Blaise!" the keeper agreed.
I won't go into detail about the fight, for it isn't the ending that matters, it is the journey there. The Ministry and Hogwarts were saved and with the two immortals powers no one on the light died.
A/N: Brief note. This is probably where the story ends, but I am including this clip for it makes an excellent ending if I make a sequel or not.
After the death, the destruction, the healing and repairing, two figures stood, looking at the sun rise over Hogwarts.
"Happy Birthday Sarah." one said.
"Thank you Lily." she returned. The one names Lily walked into the woods and dissaparated, her story another tale. The one named Sarah marched through the doors to the entrance hall and rang the all clear bell. She then, fought her way through all the students, to her common room during the project. Like she had suspected, Blaise was there, head in his hands.
"Hey," the girl named Sarah said. Blaise stood up, tears in his eyes, and hugged the girl.
"I love you Hermione." he said as he hugged her. Sarah broke free.
"I'm not Hermione any more Blaise. I'm Sarah, the person I should have been, if it wasn't for Dumbledore." she said, looking at the ground. Blaise raised her head gently.
"I love you... Sarah." he said. Sarah smiled and hugged him.
"I love you too." she whispered through tears. "and I always will."
"I'm glad you said that." Blaise said, as he took out a ring. "This isn't an engagement ring. This is a promise ring. I promise that as long as that ring is on your finger, I'm yours."
"It's beautiful," she said as she admired the simplicity of the silver ring with three small jewels nestled in it. An emerald on one side, green on another, and a shining diamond in the middle. They kissed and then Sarah frowned. "No more triplets?" she asked. Blaise shook his head but then smiled.
"We have forever to have children though," he said with a smile.
"Let's have them one at a time this time around, okay. They would be impossible to separate or they would be drastically different and none would truly enjoy the others." Sarah said.
"Well one things for sure." Blaise said. "You're still the same person I love." Sarah smiled, and they kissed. Suddenly, the portrait opened and about half of Slytherin and half of Gryffindor stumbled in. The couple looked at the disbelief on all the faces.
"HERMIONE ANNE GRANGER! WHY ARE YOU KISSING ZABINI?" Ron bellowed, others nodding in agreement. Sarah turned toward Ron and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Because my name isn't Hermione, it's Sarah Wells." she said, before kissing Blaise again. The girls sighed, the boys looked disgusted and the idiots looked confused.
A/N: Sequel? Epilogue? Let it burn? Please tell me!
