DARK LIGHT

CH 6 THE DORMITORIES

"I'm… I'm… No! Surely not! Professor Dumbledore! With all do respect, how the hell am I Voldemort's granddaughter?"

"Let me explain: Your mother and your father met when she ran away. She never told him that she was a witch, not even to this day. She was afraid that he would not like her or marry her as they had planned."

"But it still doesn't make any sense!"

"Your mother is Voldemort's daughter! She has a brother named Kodi Rydell. Mr. Rydell changed his name from Riddle to Rydell. He also was ashamed of what his father did for a living. If you meet your uncle, you can see that he has the dark mark. He received it when he was just two. Voldemort thought he would become his successor after Voldemort, if he ever did, meet his downfall."

"Does that mean that Krissi and Lexi are my cousins?"

"Yes, the Rydell twins and little Tabbi are your cousins."

"No wonder I got along so good with her during the summer!"

"You and Lexi Rydell have a special bond, a bond that your mother and her brother put on you young ladies when you were just a baby. After your 1st birthday, your mother and her uncle decided never to see each other again, it would hurt them, but it would do you justice! Especially if their father knew that they weren't trying to find him or trying to help him or themselves to power!"

"But sir, I still can't believe it! Why did the hat not tell me in my first year? He only said that I'd do well in Ravenclaw! He said nothing of my parents or grandparents!"

"The hat was informed not to."

"By whom?"

"By me!"

"How could you not tell me?"

"It was your first year, forgive me! Old men make mistakes!"

"But sir! This is such an important thing in my life! Now it only messes it up! For years I think I am muggle born, yet I find out by a hat, no less, that I would be good in Slytherin! This is too confusing! I don't think I could handle anymore tonight… I'll be leaving!"

"Just on more thing tonight."

"Yes?" Hermione said as she sat back down.

"He is the reason why your mother does not use magic anymore. She didn't use it, so she lost it! She did this all for you. You should remember that. Voldemort killed your grandparents, on your father's side. That's one of the reason's why your mother couldn't tell your father who or what she was! It hurt her very much not to tell him, and to lie to him."

"How do you know all of this?"

"She entrusted me with this information. She attended this school in her days and I was one of her professors. I was the only one to know who she really was. She also took the name Rydell as her maiden name!"

"I'm sorry sir, this is way too much!"

And with that Hermione raced out of the office and into the corridor. She knew it had to be well passed 11:00, there were no one about. She decided that she needed cool air so she walked all the way to the astronomy tower.

That is a breather! How the fuck can I, Hermione granger be Voldemort's granddaughter?

OMG! This chapter was SOOOOOOO short! Am I'm REALLY sorry that it took so long, yet it really sucked!

I have the beginning and end parts ALL figured out! just not the middle! So PLEASE bear with me!
