Rude Awakening
Chapter Fourteen: Complete Titaness
A/N: I'm srry I couldn't contain myself. I wanted to write this chapter. I couldn't, just couldn't wait. not to mention the fact that i was able to go ahead and write another thing for Hanging On the Edge, it was sweet, im actually having trouble writing that one, lol, nah im good. I guess if i can get like two i dont mind, i only got one, but i take too long to write this one. I've been doing research for this chapter for like three months(while doing all of the other chappies of course)! i wanted to get all of my info right lol, well enough with me talking, on to the story!
oOoOo-Hermione's POV-oOoOo
"Hermione, get up, no need to bow," she said with light laughter. Her beauty surpassed anything that was written in books, websites, anything!
"What the hell?" Draco asked from behind me. He came back into the room he had left his robes(he'd takent them off before he lef tot go find Blaise)
"What! You don't know who she is?" I exclaimed. he claimed to be so smart and he didn't know who she was?
"Calm down Hermione. Draco, you've spent seven years with me, not even Dumbledore knows who I am, I am Athene(Athena), Goddess of wisdom, intellect, invention, and known as being a virgin, the daughter of the Mighty Zeus, and I guess Metis," she said laughing a little, well more like chuckling.
He dropped his mouth and looked her up and down.
"Draco, don't just stand there, say something, or at least bow!" I exclaimed, jesus he was stupid as hell! He looked at me, then just stood there and looked at her. They must of had some understanding cause she nodded and looked back at me.
"If anyone should be bowing to anyone, Hermione, then I should be bowing to you," she said as she got down on a knee and bowed to me.
"Why bow to me, I'm just a lowly goddess compared to you," she said looking at me as best as she could from her tance.
"Athene, I don't know what you're talking about," I said looking at her confused. How could she be compared to me? She got up and looked at me.
"I know you don't. That is why I was here at this school. You aren't just some regular mortal. You died and were reborn, as most of the higher ups. You have to live like a human for a while. The only thing we didn't count on was you being born into the magic that was created after your death. You are never talked about in the mythology. We wouldn't allow it. You were born with more power than any other being that we knew of. You were murdered several times. But with your powers being so great, you have been born, over and over again. They keep killing you because they are afraid of the change that you have tried to do several times. Trying to change the way the system works," she said, her face changing into that of disgust when she talked about my demise.
"The funny thing is, even though the higher ups can die and be reborn, they can only do it twice, after their original birth. You have done it eight times and counting," she said with a smile," you just won't go away. Which is good. We need the change."
"So what your saying is that I'm a goddess?" I asked. I mean I've read mythology, and there was nothing like that in there.
"No, goddesses were born from Zeus and his man-whoring around, even if he is my father," she said with a look of dissappoval, to his man-whoring.
"So, then what am I?" I asked. I mean of I'm not a goddesses, what the hell am I?
"You are a second generation Titan. Your mother was/is Mnemosyne and your father was/is Coeus. Your half sisters are the nine muses, and Leto. You have so many neices and nephews through Leto and her husband Zeus, well ex-husband I should say. I guess you only have two, but you can count all of his childeren through his other wives," she said with disgust every time she mentioned Zeus.
"Well then what am I?" I asked.
"Each Titan didn't just have their own thing. Each one had the same thing in them as the others, it's just that some of the powers shine more then the others. Kind-of like light, how if it hits the crystals in paints, whatever pigment is the strongest, that is the one that shines through, or even in genetics, you have recessive and dominate genes," she said in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Yeah, I guess that makes sense, but what am I?" I asked again in a more urgent voice.
"Hermione, you are a Titan, second generation that is, you are just . . . . . you. I mean, we know you as Hermione the Titan of knowledge, everything that is good, and beauty, but you are so much more than that. Being in this world has proven that. But with knowledge that we have gained from the magical community, we have learned to see farther into the future than ever before, but we have signed a bond that can never be broken, if I was to tell you what would happen to you, I would be killed for the first word I said. But all I can tell you, is that you have a great hurtle coming your way, and you need to be prepared. I want you to come with me. We need to up your education, a little," She said with a slight smile.
"What do you mean up my education, I've studied my ass of for the past seven years!" I exclaimed looking at her like she was crazy, cause she was.
"It doesn't matter how much you study down here, that's not the problem. What you need to learn is everything about you and your past. Not to mention re-jog your memory on some of the things that led to your death the last time. Your memory may help us put an end to anything else that will happen to you. I mean, now that you carry the third generation," she said looking around.
"What? When do I have to leave?" I asked looking at her with a confused look.
"You will leave after the play," she said.
"Wait, I have a question," I said remembering that Draco was beside me.
"What?" She asked looking at me with a knowing look. Like she knew exactly what I was going to ask.
"I need help. Draco took a potion to get rid of something and now, as a consequence, his heart as fused with mine and is helping to pump my blood while he is left without one, but still living. Not to mention we are both vampires and what not," I said.
"Wait, does that affect me, being a vampire that it?" I asked.
"I might be able to help you with the situation of the heart. Being a vampire, you have never been that before. I don't know how this will affect you. Well I mean, I don't ever recall that when we looked into what is to come. I think someone has changed something. Something that wasn't supppose to be changed, which means, oh no," she said. Trying to hide her horror under her breath but being unsucessful.
"What, what is it?" I asked scared. If this wasn't suppose to happen, what else wasn't suppose to happen, what will happen now that this has happened. What will become of me, what will become of my babies. My babies! Will somethig happen to them? No this can't be right, she said so, no she didn't say anything about the babies, omg, what-what will happen. I was screaming things in my head, but I couldn't speak of it to her, as if, as if, if I asked then something would happen that would kill us all, or just me.
"I need to speak to people, I need to leave you, please don't do anything that will cause harm to yourselves, or anyone else," she said looking at me. I guess she knew that I wanted to go and kill Blaise. I mean, now I couldn't dream of getting rid of the twins. I mean, now talking to her has made me want to keep them. An hurt Blasie for saying he didn't care. I guess Draco does mean more to me then I would like to admit.
"Draco, please stay with her. She needs to be with you. I may not be back for some time, but tomorrow is the play. You guys need to got to sleep and I hope you enjoy the play," she said. Then with a pop she disappeared.
"Wow, I just didn't see that coming, not in a million years, did I see that coming," Draco said as he looked at the spot that was now empty where she had stood.
"Well, I knew this was going to be hard to understand, too bad you or I didn't know before. It would have been so much easier to kill Voldemort," Harry said coming from out of the shadows.
"You knew, for how long?" I asked looking at him.
"Since dear old dad left this world," he said looking at Draco.
"What you've known for that long! Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked very loudly.
"First of all, I couldn't tell you. If I did, it would defeat the purpose of her being around," Harry said sticking up a thumb in the direction of where Athene had stood.\
"What do you mean? What did father know about this?" Draco asked Harry looking at him.
"He knew everything. The Malfoy's are the protectors of Hermione. Every time she is reborn, we protect her. You wouldn't know until she would know cause the oldest son is the one that does the protecting. That's why I was shoved into Gryffindor, why I am always there to save her ass when we get ourselves into trouble and why I was the one who was going to defeat the Dark Lord. Since he was suppose to kill all of the muggle borns, and why he hated Hermione. The only reason dear old dad joined was to keep me as safe as possible while also acting like he didn't know me. He knew sooner or later I would have to know. You, I dunno what you were suppose to do. But now that you know, we have to go," Harry said turning around and getting ready to leave.
"But Athene said to stay here. An I plan on doing what she said," Drao said. OMG did he sound like a pussy.
"Draco, listen to yourself. I am here to show Hermione what she needs to see. She now gets all of her stuff that she left behind and why the Malfoy Manor as a labyrinths underneath it," Harry said looking at me.
"Draco, he's right. It's time we go with him and get what is mine," I said. It would be better to go with him then stand here an let them start fighting.
"Alright, but if you get hurt, I'll never forgive myself," Draco said looking deep into my eyes. Then I knew how I felt. I loved him. This time I was sure, there would be no questioning about it.
"Draco, I love you," I said still looking at him.
"I love you too Hermione. You have no idea how much I've been wanting you to say that," he said grabbing ahold of me and kissing me. His vamp teeth scraping at my lips.
"Will you two stop and hurry up. I want to get this doen before it gets any later," he said looking at us with disgust.
"Fine," I said. We got on our brooms and left. He headed for the Malfoy Manor. It was dark
"Here we are," Harry said taking us into the house.
"Follow me," he said.
We went down the stairs. It was huge. There were dungeons all over the place. There were werewolves in cages. Unicorns, hybrid unicorns. This was crazy, what the hell did they do down here?
"Aww, here we go," Harry said as we headed around three more corners and ended up in front of a huge door.
This down had to be at least 20 feet high, and 10 feet across.
"Now how the hell do we open this?" Draco asked.
"A spell of course," Harry said. Harry muttered something in Latin and the doors creaked. The ivy that was growing around an on the door started to break as the door open. Dirt fell from the ceiling. The chamber seemed to shudder. It was as though it hadn't been opened in centuries.
"Harry, what is this?" I asked.
"This is your where all of your pets are kept," Harry said. The door finally reached a halt. You couldn't see into it. But you could hear breathing. Deep breathing.
"Here, we are. This might help," Harry said. With a flick of his wand the light came on.
"OMG! It's-it's-it's . . . . . "
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
a/n: well thats the end of that chapter. I hope I havent strayed from the way it was before. But you got remember the story is changing the more that they know, so their actions and personalities are going to change accordingly. well i hope you like it. And Hanging Over the Edge will have an update in a couple of days. I put a lot of time into this story. I had to start and stop. So if it sounds off as you read it im sorry
Metis was actually eaten by Zeus before Athene was born. She came out of his forehead with armor on, but Metis's conscience was still there in Zeus. But still Metis was partically her mother.
