WARNING: MOST OF CHAPTER ABOUT JAMES AND ELLIE
Chapter 5. The revelation
6 years passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly James and Ellie were going into their seventh year. And from Hermione's perspective they were far to close. Normally she wouldn't have allowed Ellie to go to Harry's house without her but she was a bit distracted today.
"MUM!" called 17 year old Ellie Granger, "I'm going over to Dad's now! I told James I'd help him with our N.E.W.T Potions essay. Uncle Draco's crazy! He wants 5 feet on Everlasting Elixers."
"Alright dear. Be back by five!" said Hermione sounding distracted.
"Mum? You okay? You sound distracted."
"I'm fine! Tell your father I say Hello."
"What about Aunt Ginny?"
"What about her?"
"Bye Mum." Ellie sighed before apparating away.
"I can't believe her. I can't believe that Ginny would sleep with him." said Hermione to herself.
"Hey Ellie!" said James Potter from his Phoenix Dragon, the fastest broom known to wizard kind.
"Hi James. Where's Uncle Harry?"
"Up at the house. Wanna lift?"
"Yes please!" She said hopping onto the back of the broom. Less than 3 seconds later they were at the front stoop of the Potter house. While James went to put his broom away Ellie went into the house. Ginny was in the front room by the window writing a letter.
"Hello Aunt Ginny." she said
"Oh. Hello Ellie." she said not looking up from her letter.
Ellie continued through the house to Harry's study. She knocked.
"Come in!" called Harry.
"Hello Dad!" said Ellie closing the door.
"My little Ellie! How are you?"
"I'm good.", she saidas James entered., "Mum says hello."
"Well tell your mother I said hello."
"I will. Can we borrow your book on Everlasting Elixers? That's what our N.E.W.T Potion's essay is on."
"Sure. I remember studying those in Sixth year."
"Yes well Dad you had Slughorn" siad James. "Lets go Ellie."
They left the study and went to the library so that they could grab the book. They the duo headed up to James' room. By noon James only hadhalf a foot left and Ellie had written an extra half foot. After lunch they finished and went swimming. That's when everythig changed.
James caught Ellie by the waist.
"James! Let go!"
"No."
"James Potter! Let me go!"
"No"
"James Orion Potter! Let go of me right now!"
"No."
"Don't make me hex you!"
"You must have forgotten my father is Harry Potter."
"I haven't forgotten."
My father's the same person she thought
"Besides El, I have something I want to tell you. I love you Ellie Granger and I'd like to marry you. So will you marry me?"
"I-I-W-We-You-Me-I . . . . . I have to go, James! I'll see you!" she said wresting herself from his grasp and climbing out of the pool."
"ELLIE!"
"G'bye James." she said and apparated away.
Ellie spent the rest of the summer in her room. At the beginning of August she got her Hogwarts letter saying that she was Head Girl. A few ours later Kozol (James' owl) flew through her window with a note.
Ellie-
I don't know what happened but I'm still waiting for an answer. I just wanted to say that I'm Head Boy and hoping your Head Girl.
Love (I really mean it),
James
She didn't write back. She didn't go over to the Potter house even though she had left her essay in James' room. She didn't see James again until she went to Diagon Alley the week before school started.
"Hermione!" called Harry
"Harry!" she said giving him a hug
The two teens just stared at each other.
"Here's your potion's essay." he said
"Thanks. I was beginning to think I'd have to rewrite it. I've got to go. I'll see you on the train."
"Yeah the train."
"Do I want to know what happened?" asked Hermione as they walked away.
"I told Ellie that I love her and want to marry her." said James to Harry.
It was hard for Ellie to avoid James on the train. She first had to go to the prefect compartment and while there she stated talking with a fellow seventh year, Hufflepuff Annie MacMillan.
"D'you want to sit with us Ellie?" she asked
"Sure I'd love to!" said Ellie
After the meeting Ellie and James were the last two to leave.
"Ellie" he said.
"What?"
"Why don't you love me?"
"I never said that I didn't love you-"
"So you do love me?"
"Yes but-"
"So marry me!"
"I CAN'T! Okay James! JUST DROP IT! Goodbye"
She walked out. Annie was there waiting for her. Ellie knew she had heard the whole conversation.
"Please don't tell anyone what you just heard." she said
"I won't." replyed Annie
At the feast James and Ellie sat on opposite sides of the table. In the Head's suites Ellie charmed her door so that no one but her could open it. In their classes she sat on the other side of the room from him. After a month of this James decided it was time to go to Hermione.
"D'you have a question about today's lesson James?" she asked
"No. I assume by now you've noticd that my friendship with Ellie is-"
"Non-existant?"
"Yeah. And I don't know why."
"You'll know soon enough James. Is your mother coming to the Halloween Ball?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Could the three of you meet me in here about an hour beforehand?"
"Sure. Thanks Aunt Hermione. I trust you."
"Good. Now run along."
Hermione walked into a seemingly empty classroom.
"Why did you ask me here?" asked a voice.
"I need some of your blood and to ask you to be in my office before the Halloween Ball."
"My Blood?"
"Yes. Please."
"Fine."
She took a sliver knife and cut him.She filled the crystal vial halfway.
"Thank you." she said healing the cut.
She returned to her office and put it next to three other vials. One labeled Harry Potter, one labeled James Potter, and one labeled Ellie Granger. She put the final label on this one.
Harry, Ginny and James Potter walked into Hermione Granger's classroom. Ellie was next to her mothers desk stirring a cauldron that was there. Hermione closed the door.
"I guess" she said "That your all wondering exactly why I've asked you here. I think the Muggle band Savage Garden put it best inthe first verse of their song A Thousand Words. We stumble in a tangled web decaying friendship's almost dead. And hide behind a mask of lies. We twist, we turn, and we avoid all hope of salvage now devoid. I see the truth inside your eyes. So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again. I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then. . . .I'll say the words out loud."
"What does that mean, Hermione?" asked Ginny.
"It means that- You know what Gin? Let me put it in laymens terms for you. Seventeen years ago we began to weave a web of lies. I think for our childrens sakes we should untangle it. Its time the truth was revealed."
"MUM!" said Ellie
"Hermione!" shouted Harry
"It's time you two." said Hermione "Oh. Ginny, Ginny, Ginny. Where to start?"
"I find the beginning usually helps." said Ginny
"The beginning? It started twenty eight years ago on this exact night. This was the night that I became friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Of course you could also say that it started nearly eighteen years ago on May first."
"Mum!"
"Fine! The beginning: I was never raped. I slept with Harry. Harry is Ellie's father."
(The End! Just Kidding!)
"Ellie's my-"
"Not now James. I'm not done. Don't believe me do you Ginny?"
"No I don't."
"James can you tell me what the Potion is?"
He looked at the potion.
"Its a paternity potion."
"Correct. 10 points to Gryffindor. Behind Ellie are four vials. Ellie put two drops of yours in and two drops of Harry's in to it."
"Yes mum."
"Now does anyone care to tell me what a paternity potion does?"
"It determines whether or not the second blood that's put into it is the father of the first blood. If the potion turns green then the person is the father and if it turns red then the person is not the father." said James
"Ellie what color is the potion?" asked Hermione
"Green." she said
"You slept with my husband?"
"Fiance, Ginny. You weren't married yet. Which reminds me! Harry d'you remember the letter you told me that Ginny got? Well guess what? It was from St.Mungo's. Telling Molly Otter that herhusband Parry was not the father of her child but Arthur Thomas was. She is Molly. You are Parry. And as for Arthur he'll be revealed momentarily."
"I'm not James' father?"
"No. Harry, I'm sorry but your not."
"Mum does this mean that-"
"That's exactly what it means."said Hermione." put a drop of James and the other one ito the potion will you?"
"Yes mum."
"Ginny did you cheat on me?"
"No Harry she's lying! I would never cheat on you! I love you!"
"No. Ginevra you love his riches. You don't know Harry Potter."
"Shut up you slag! First you sleep with my fiance and then my brother? How many others were there Hermione?"
"Don't confuse me with you Ginny."
"Mum! The potion its green!"
"As I knew it would be. The blood that runsthrough James' veins is that of-"
"Me." said a voice from the stairs.
"NEVILLE?"yelled Harry"You cheated on me with Neville?"
"I'm a Longbottom?"
Okay that's it for now! I'll update as soon as I can! PLEASE REVIEW!
