Unexpected


A/N- Hello everyone! Another chapter of 'Emerald and Amethyst' is here! Hope you like it!

WARNINGS- Language

PS- Yes, I know I said I will be doing the Gringotts chapter but it just didn't fit. I promise that the Gringotts chapter will be next.


The next day, Harry woke up to the usual chatter in their dorms. As Harry opened his eyes, he saw Seamus being interrogated thoroughly and he looked mortally embarrassed.

He decided to step in.

"Ok guys. What's the chatter? And why are you interrogating Seamus as if your life is on the line?"

Neville grinned and said- "it seems you were right about Seamus, Harry."

"Yeah. Our dearest Seamus fucked Lavender yesterday." Dean piped in.

Harry grinned and said- "brilliant. I do hope that you all have your galleons on you."

"Yeah, whatever mate." Ron grumbled good-naturedly.

Harry fumbled for his wand and cast a quick 'Tempus' showing that it was 8:30. Harry and Ron went down for breakfast with 'Mione.

The owls came and one dropped the Daily Prophet in Hermione's lap. She opened it and gasped. Then she read out-

Dark Lord has a daughter!

By- Jenny Parker

Yesterday, there was a magical commotion in Surrey. When the aurors went to check, they found a massacre. There were bodies of muggles around them and the ground was covered in blood. They also found DeathEaters. Then, a girl approximately 15/16years old was referred to as 'My Princess'.

I have interviewed auror Perkins and he told us- "The girl noticed our confused expressions and laughed. It wasn't a pleasant laugh either. But, a high, cold, unpleasant sound. She said, 'Don't you all know me? After all I'm his daughter. I have come to tell you. My Father has truly returned. And the boy will die. Enjoy your very short life!'. The duel that followed was gruesome. I lost three of my comrades and two are deeply injured. The girl, though I hate to admit it, was an expert duelist and none of us stood a chance. Though, she didn't kill all of us so that means that maybe she wanted us to convey the message."

With the evidence, it is quite clear that the You-Know-Who has a daughter and he is very much alive. But, is she really his daughter or someone who was brainwashed into believing all of this? We hope it is the latter and that we will be able to save the girl from the clutches of the Dark.

Was Harry Potter saying the truth all this while? Why didn't the Dark Lord announce his presence sooner? Why did he not go to the raid himself? Why send his daughter? Why proclaim that he has an heiress? I believe, my dear readers, that we deserve answers. And I'm doing best to find them.

By then, everyone had more-or-less finished reading the article and screaming their throats raw in panic.

Dumbledore stood up and said- "SILENCE! Do not worry. Lord Voldemort *cue flinches* will not be able to penetrate these walls. Third years and above- please line up in the entrance hall with the approval sign from your parent/guardian. Mr. Potter please come to my office. Thank you."

Harry gave an almost invisible nod to Ron and Hermione. They understood immediately. Hermione looked Professor Snape in the eye. There was a brief flash of understanding as he stood up and addressed the Headmaster- "I must go."

Harry went to the Headmaster's office.

And stopped in front of the gargoyle.

"Liquorish wands, candy, Mars Bars, Bertie Botts Every flavored Beans, Chocolate frogs, cockroach clusters."

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Just when he was about to kick the gargoyle, a voice behind him said-

"Acid Pops."

Acid Pops! Here he had been muttering obscenities all along and the password happened to be Acid Pops!?

Not fair.

I tell you. It's not fair!

He whirled around to see *drumrolls please* Professor Dumbledore.

They did not say anything though he was bursting full of questions.

As they reached the office, Harry said- "sir, who were the ones who were injured and killed? Who is that girl? Is she really brainwashed? Why would Voldemort announce his presence?"

"My boy, I'm an old man. Please slow down with your questions. First of all, Aurors Dawlish, Puckle and Dane are dead. Senior Auror Shacklebolt and Rookie Auror Tonks are badly injured but they will live. Auror Perkins is the only one without injuries."

Harry bowed his head but was internally cheering.

"We don't know anything about the girl except the fact that she's called 'Kira' which is Japanese for 'Killer'. We don't know if she's brainwashed but we can only hope. I think that Voldemort decided to announce his presence to throw us into chaos."

Harry nodded once to show that he understood. And then said in a hollow voice- "I'm so sorry about the people who died. It's all because of me isn't it? If I had just killed Voldemort earlier then nothing like this would have happened."

Dumbledore said- "never think like that, m'boy. You did what you could. Best of all you freed the wizarding world from Voldemort's clutches for thirteen long years."

Even with his inspirational speech, Harry saw that there was a flash of pleasure in Dumbledore's eyes when he said that.

It was the final straw for him.

Dumbledore would be #1 on his kill list.

"M'boy. Why don't you go to Hogsmeade and enjoy yourself?"

"Ok. Professor. Thank you for your time." Bloody hell. He was starting to sound like Weaslette. It was truly disgusting and he had seen some disgusting things in his life, starting with his cousin's puke.

Anyways. Away from disgusting topics.

"Yes sir." he said meekly. Or as meekly as he could manage.

He turned around and went out of that room. He also glared at the gargoyle which did not look ashamed in the least.

He grabbed his cloak (a normal cloak, not the invisibility one) and took off for the Three Broomsticks. He knew that Ron and Hermione would be there.

Ah. There they were. He walked over, asked for a butterbeer and sat across Hermione and Ron.

Ron quickly cast a privacy bubble over their table along with a simple notice-me-not charm. That would keep out interested and curious people.

"What does the esteemed headmaster say to you, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Asked him a bunch of questions. Apparently, Aurors Dawlish, Puckle and Dane are dead while Shacklebolt and Tonks are badly injured. And, he doesn't know anything about the girl beside the fact that she is called 'Kira'."

"Well, this could work in our way. Dawlish was loyal to Scrimgeour who was in Dumbledore's pocket. Also, Shacklebolt and Tonks were in the Order which means that Dumbledore's numbers are decreasing. Also, everyone will now have to believe in you so you will gain trust. And- Harry, HARRY!" Hermione shouted out the last part.

Harry jerked in his seat and came back to the present.

"What was it this time, mate?" Ron asked.

"I...don't really know. I think that I knew this Kira girl." Harry replied.

"These damn obliviates are really getting in the way, are they not? If you didn't have the obliviates on you then it would be so much clear." Hermione said.

"Yeah, I know. C'mon lets roam around a bit. I need to go to Honeydukes." Ron said.

"I need to go to Scrivenshaft's." Hermione said.

"Ok then. We can go to Scrivenshaft's and then Honeydukes. I also have some work in a shop." Harry said

"Which one?" Hermione asked

"Oh, you wouldn't know about it." Harry replied airily.

"Damn, I hate it when he does that." Ron replied.

"Don't I know it?" Hermione sighed.

Harry had the audacity to smirk.

That complete bastard.

"C'mon, we should go. It is already 11:00pm. If we want to meet him, then we should hurry up."

"K."

Harry put six sickles on the table and walked out with Ron and Hermione in tow.

And, as soon as they hit the crowd, they used an advanced version of the notice-me-not charm so they can only be seen by each other.

They went in Scrivenshaft's and Hermione got a beautiful eagle-feathered quill with a nub which never becomes blunt for G5 which was actually half the price because she was 'the-boy-who-lived's friend'.

After that, they went to Honeydukes where Harry persuaded Hermione and Ron that he will pay for them. So, they lost Ron in the Sugar Quills section while Hermione was deciding whether or not to take a surprise collection.

A voice behind her said- "don't take the surprise collection. You never know what you might get."

She squeaked and turned around coming face-to-face with...a brown haired, brown eyed man.

Harry came over and said- "Professor Snape!"

"Yes, it's me. How did you know?" Snape asked, confused.

"I can always see through normal glamour, professor" Harry said while sucking on a blood pop.

Severus was impressed. Not even Dumbledore could see through his glamour.

Hermione said- "normal glamour?"

"Well, there are blood glamour which makes you look like the person's child, goblin glamour which can only be taken down by the goblins and intricate glamour which are woven into a regular object say, a watch and can be activated by twisting it. Normal glamour are the ones which are cast on the body for a specific amount of time."

"Oh. Okay." Hermione said.

Severus said- "Do you all have anything else to do?" as they walked towards the counter and Harry paid G3 for all of Ron's sweets.

"Yes, I need to go to a shop. You all can go elsewhere if you like." Harry said.

"Hey, Harry. Is that Professor Snape?" Ron asked wand in hand as he shrank down all the sweets to fit in his pocket.

Harry rolled his eyes and said- "no, I'm talking to a complete stranger, Ron."

"Merlin Harry. I was just asking." Ron answered.

They all followed Harry as he walked into a dark alley adjacent to Madame Puddifoot's.

"Ok. I'm going to hide you all and please don't talk to me, kay?" Harry whispered as he did complicated motions with his wand which hid Ron, Hermione and Severus from view.

"Now, you all will be able to see each other but I won't. So, don't worry." Harry whispered in their general direction.

Before they could say anything, Harry waved his wand in a complicated manner and, suddenly he was wearing a pure black cloak with a hood and white mask covering the upper part of the face.

He entered a shop.

"Milord, I wondered if you would be back."

"Indeed, I have a large order and I need them by today. Twelve pairs of throwing knives in the same metal as last time, two of the weapon belts I have, two of the knives I have, two ka-bars, 2 colt 45's black and a 9mm black with ammo, silencers and chuck in a couple of blanks. 2 pairs of black basilisk hide boots with silencing charm, a woman's size 4 and a man's size 7. 2 wand holsters, 2 wrist knife holders and 4 ankle knife holders all basilisk with anti-summon and anti-detect charms." Harry said in a high, cold voice.

Severus was interested.

The man said- "I have what you need."

"I will take them when I come back."

"I will have them ready, milord."

Harry nodded sharply and swept out of the shop. The others did too, after overcoming the fact that they called him a Lord.

They caught up with him.

Hermione said - "what was that?"

"I believe that I bought yours and Ron's things?" Harry said calmly buying a very rare tome which cost him a little more than G100.

"Why did the shopkeeper call you Milord?!" Hermione demanded.

Harry sighed and said- "honestly, Mia. If I knew then I would have told you. But, the thing is- I don't. When I get back my memories, I will tell all of you. But, as of now, I'm as clueless as you lot."

"Then why did you pretend it's okay?" Hermione asked.

"When there is a rumor that could help me, then I will cultivate it. I know it's not a rumor, but it falls under the category." Harry said briskly walking towards Hogshead.

"That is...a very Slytherin way of thinking, Mr. Potter." Severus said.

"If you are our acquaintance, then you may as well call us by our names. And, of course, where do you think that the Sorting Hat wanted to put me in? I saw Malfoy and decided that there was no way in hell that I would be sharing a dormitory with him for seven years." Harry finished.

"You refused to get sorted into Slytherin because Draco was an idiot?" Severus asked slowly.

"Yes?" Harry said/asked.

Severus simply sighed.

"Where are we going, Harry?" Ron asked.

"To meet your brothers." he replied.

Ron, Hermione and Snape followed Harry to Hogshead where Harry went to a back table which had two seats occupied by someone with red hair.

Harry walked over with them.

He put up the strongest wards known and said in a low voice- "if anyone asks, then me, Ron and 'Mione were with you visiting Zonko's and Honeydukes."

"And where exactly are you going, Harrikins?" Fred/George(?) asked.

"Oh, here and there." Harry said airily.

"Fine, but we want something in re-"

Harry threw them the tome he had bought with G110.

They clutched it like a priceless jewel.

Harry chuckled and said- "will that be enough for you both?"

"Yes, yes it will be. Lords, when we thought about doing business with you...I never thought of this." One of them said.

"Well, that's me for you."

"You have a deal Harry." Fred/George(?) said standing up with his twin.

They exited Hogshead and Harry put down the ward.

As they exited, Harry dispelled the Invisibility Charm on them and cast a strong glamour on each of them (including himself, after all it would be highly suspicious if someone with black cloak and white mask was seen roaming around Hogsmeade).

Hermione said what was going on hers, Ron's and Snape's mind

"What the hell was that?!"
