Chapter 6
Halloween had finally arrived and I was nervous, everyone myself and my father hold dear were fixing to find out the truth about me and for once I did not want to be in the spotlight. This was when I really needed my old Gryffindor bravery. Supper was a rowdy affair but some people were just not into the celebration. The Slytherins whom I had grown close to noticed my nervousness but didn't want to point it out they also had their minds on why Dumbledor had wanted to meet them in the room of requirements tonight and none knew that the other had an invitation because fear was a big part of their lives and knew this was to be kept a secret. The Great hall doors opened and in walked my Grandparents. I dropped my silverware and ran to them and they hugged me. The Slytherins didn't know what to think about this wondrous show of love from one of the oldest pureblooded families around, they knew they were different but this was unexpected. Dumbledor approached them and dismissed me to show my Grandparents around. I walked with my grandparents to my dorm and also thanked them for the room. Soon it was time to head to meet Dumbledor and the rest. I grabbed magic and my grandparents each took an arm and left in the cover of the great cats power. Looking down the hall we soon realized we were following someone and that the person knew someone was there and trying to find them. At closer inspection I found it was Draco I giggled at his paranoia and he spun around wand raised and I let Magic down and revealed them. "You scared me Klaire" "sorry want to join us?" "Please". They made it to the hall and Met Dumbledor he asked me to remain hidden the rest let go of me and I joined him in waiting for the rest to arrive. Once everyone was inside Dumbledor let me in and closed the door and put up a few spells. I silently found my spot beside Draco and he relaxed when he felt my presence beside him.
Dumbledor began, "I'm sure you are all wondering why you are here. You see you each care about two very different girls and you deserver to know the truth about them. But please no questions until after. "Klaire if you would." I set Magic down and revealed myself. Everyone gasped. "This young Lady is none other than Klaire Lilly Miraz-Snape" Lucious said "now I remember her but why couldn't I earlier?" "Because Voldemort didn't want you to. The Order took Klaire to protect her on Severus order till it was safe for her. She was hidden successfully but the order member did not have time to pass on his secret before her was killed. Klaire had several spells put on her that only her secret keeper would be able to find her unless he told someone else, so we were unable to locate her. The muggle family she was taken to knew of her secret but since they didn't know the magic world and couldn't dispose her secret either all hope was lost. She was thought to be dead. We weren't able t find her until this summer." "But who is the other girl you were talking about? Is it Hermionie?" "Very smart Miss Weasley. Hermionie Granger is presumed missing which most think Voldemort has her but trust me when I say she is safe. After the Department of Mysteries Hermionie was badly hurt after she was hit by the spell from Dolohov. It left her weak and gave her a type of asthma." Harry, Ginny, Draco and Severus looked at me. "When she was in the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey noticed something interesting about her. We tested her and everything made sense. You see when Hermionie Granger was sent her letter we were quite confused as to her power, Muggle-borns weren't usually that powerful. We discovered through a blood test who she truly was, Hermionie Granger is Klaire Lilly Miraz-Snape. Everyone was quiet until Draco said" I always knew there was a reason I wanted to call you a Know-it -all!" " But if you knew where and who she was all this time why the posters?" asked Harry " Because if the best friend of Harry Potter didn't come back to school people especially Voldemort would wonder and he might look more into Klaire's birth. So that is why the posters are still up." "does she know everything of why she had to be hidden?" asked Severus "No, but we taught her everything she needed to know." said misty "so the war is close now, Albus ""yes Severus I'm afraid it is that is why we needed you all to know the truth so we can find a way to protect the people who still want it." "Thank you Albus but may we discuss these plans else where?" "Of course Lucious this door leads to my office. Klaire if you would help the students back to their dorms, please?" "Yes sir." Once the adults were gone Draco said "I can remember more of you now I mean we were only one but I remember all of our families used to be a lot closer until our fathers had to become his followers. I remember Father asking mom one time what was the reason he joined but neither could remember." "does this mean we can all stop pretending now?" asked Pansy " No we still have to pretend until whatever plan is going down happens we have to make them think our parents are still loyal we know there are still spies in the school which is why none of us told the others about this meeting tonight." "Well we all know that some of the Slytherins were affected tonight when Klaire's Grandparents actually hugged her I mean none of us have ever had the guts to do that in public." said Blaize. "Well we already know that Love is one thing we have going for us its what has protected me all these years. And it's the one thing Voldemort doesn't believe in." "Harry is right we need to show people that no matter what happens we need to stick together everyone already knows I'm friends with Harry and the rest." "And we need to show the rest of the Slytherins that once our families are safe, even thought they wont know that we aren't going to deal with any of his shit anymore" "wow Draco didn't know you had that kind of bravery in you" I laughed. "if we hadn't of met you we would still be in trouble and I wouldn't know how it felt to show that I care about someone other than myself" I Smirked and said" does that mean you care about me?" and he just blushed. "But what about when Snape asked if you knew everything about why you had to be hidden?" "I'm not sure Harry but I found out some things when my grandparents were teaching me they also gave me my mother's books and I found something's that I want to ask my father about, I think I found her journal but I can't read it she's coded it I hope my Father knows how to read it." 'Draco noticed my locket and said "I've seen this before Severus has a ring like this and also another locket that he keeps hidden but I've seen him playing with it before just like you play with yours and how you used to play with your necklaces when you were Hermionie, one time I saw him playing with it and you kept looking like you felt someone watching you." "Were you stalking me?" " NO, I just liked to watch you sometimes, after you slapped me in third year I always was sort of Fascinated by your strength and how that m face always burnt afterwards when you got mad at me." "Glad to know I left a mark!" "So Klaire how are you supposed to take us back to our dorms?" asked Blaze. "With Magic" I said and I held up my cat. He gave me a funny look until I disappeared and took a hold of Draco and said "Just hold on." I took the Gryffindors back to their dorms and then went to the dungeons. I took a different path that lead to the secret passage way to my room. When we were safe in my room they asked "what was that?" " my room apparently came with a secret passage way!" when everyone was safe in their rooms Draco pulled me into his bed and put up a silencing charm " so do you miss your old life?" "a little bit but I always knew something was missing, I do miss seeing Harry and Ginny all the time but I do know that I'm in Slytherin to make people wonder if they are really doing the right thing in joining their parents think after your families disappear more people will be coming to us to ask for help." "So do you know Dumbledore's plan?" "no but I have my own ideas and sometimes it feels like I can hear my fathers thoughts with out meaning to maybe my accumbency is off maybe I should ask him. But the families will have to be careful and that means no hearing from them except through Dumbledor or Snape and all of the students involved will probably need to know how to block their minds so Voldemort cannot know of our plans." "But it will be worth it I'm ready to begin any training I can get to help win this fight."
