Chapter 11
Revelations
And I wonder,
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time,
Will pass me by?

"Tell me, Miss Nicole," Mr. Williams repeated the question. "Why did Britain lose the American Revolution."
Something clicked in Ginny's mind. Vaguely, she remembered Professor Binns saying something about the American Revolution except…
"Well, Britain won, didn't she?" Ginny frowned.
"What are you talking about, Nikki?" Cornelia wrinkled her nose. "C'mon, remember? We learned this last week."
"No! I remember now!" Ginny thought of what Professor Binns said that day during History of Magic. "In the Wizarding World, Britain won because the Americans had just burned all of their witches, so we had more magic than them! And the ministry of magic-"
"That's enough Nicole," Mrs. Monceau suddenly appeared. She cut her off and said coldly. "I need a word with you, excuse us Mr. Willimas."
Ginny followed Mrs. Monceau uncertainly. Mr. Williams and Cornelia were looking at her, dumbstruck. Finally, after a long walk, Mrs. Monceau led Ginny into a empty chamber.
"I told you, never ever, to mention anything about, uh, magic," Mrs. Monceau hissed. "Do you know that we are the most distinguished and wealthy family in the neighbor hood? We have a reputation to uphold and if you are running around, blabbing about your newfound magical abilities, you will be punished severely and I hope you will not push me to that point."
She paused then continued," I knew that taking you to that, that, school was a bad idea. You were fascinated by everything and you just wandered off! We found you unconscious by the lake and you managed to turn your beautiful golden hair into this hideous red! Needless to say, it was a bad idea to even allow you to see the school but you will most definitely, not be attending Hogwarts."
Mrs. Monceau finished and cast a stern look in Ginny's direction. " I hope that you will control yourself from now on. Nicole."
"yeah," ginny pretended to look sorry and all that but her brain was struggling to understand what happened that night by the lake. Nicole was obviously there on a tour of the castle. Then she came to the lake where Ginny was. Ginny remembered seeing a girl like her behind the trees. They both ended up unconscious. After that, Ginny assumed that Mrs. Monceau thought she was Nicole and dragged her "home' while the other students thought Nicole was Ginny and sent her off to the hospital wing. That's what had happened. But how will they get switched back?
"Isn't the library wonderful?" Hermione gushed as she led Nicole inside. They found a table and dumped their bags on it. "so what kind of books were you hoping to find?"
"umm, well, I was hoping that they might have something on Greek gods and goddesses?" Nicole asked, looking around at the tall bookshelves filled with millions of books.
"oooh, really?" Hermione beamed. "I just love Greek myths! So do you have anything in particular you want to read?"
"Well, you see, Selene reminded me of a Greek goddess," Nicole frowned. "I mean, wasn't there a goddess named Selene or something like that?"
"Oh!" Hermione gasped. "I never thought of it before! Wow, what a coincidence."
"pardon?" Nicole asked.
"Well, Selene is the Greek goddess of the moon and Selene Tirips loves watching the moon. On the night of every full moon, she likes to go sit outside somewhere in private and enjoy it, " Hermione laughed. "isn't that weird?"
"really now," Nicole thought to herself. "And Selene's last name is Tirips?"
"yes,why?" Hermione was curious.
"there's something weird about Selene. It's like she doesn't belong here or something. And Tirips! What an unusual name, gosh if you spell it backwards, it would be-!" Nicole gasped and looked at Hermione.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Hermione whispered to Nicole.
"that Selene-?" Nicole whispered back.
They looked at each other in astonishment.
"if it's true then-"
"We must find selene!"
"But we have to find Ginny too, I mean after all-!"
"Exactly!"
A/N: gosh I am so sorry that this chapter is so short but don't worry the next one will be much longer! I have been working on a new fic called Unexpected and it's L/J , so you should check that out as well.
REVIEW and I promise I'll update.
