Back to the future - August 31 1998
Location: The Burrow
Hermione was having a normal day, reading a book as the others were playing Quidditch, even Percy had joined them. A week from September 1st was a reunion week for the Weasleys; they had decided that. The day they would spend remembering old memories and had a get together as a family. Everyone had assembled there a day before though.
This normalcy was broken when an owl swooped in to her and handed her a letter having the seal of Gringotts. Wondering why she had got it, she opened it and the contents had shocked her a bit and she gasped. Hearing the gasp, everyone gathered around her and asked what was wrong. She just read the letter out.
"Dear Miss Granger,
It has recently come to our notice that something was not right and you also have not gone through your inheritence yet. Therefore, we request you to come to our bank at 11 A.M sharp tomorrow for your appointment. This problem was also to be conveyed to Mr. Potter but since he was not available and on a mission, you have to contact him.
Sincerely,
Griphook
By now everyone were staring at Hermione. she turned to Molly and asked "Can muggleborns have inheritances?" "Generally they don't. But in some cases it might happen... or unless Albus had done what I am thinking, then you might have." Molly replied.
"What are you thinking mum?" George asked while realisation was written all over the faces of Bill, Charlie, Percy and Arthur. "Well George, unless Albus had kidnapped 'Mione from a magical family and given her off to a muggle one, this is a rare case." Charlie said.
"Guess we will find out tomorrow" Hermione said. She was guessing that it was mostly Albus' play as her parents had told her that she had been adopted and she was found in their doorstep and she seemed a few months old when they had found her.
Time skip to the next day
Hermione walked into Gringotts quickly, anticipating the meeting she was about to have. "I'm glad you have come Mrs. Granger. Now I think we have to do your test before we can proceed with the meeting." Griphook said and lead her to the chambers.
Griphook conjured a parchment and a small dagger. "Please let 7 drops of your blood fall on this parchment. It will show you your inheritance, abilities and any blocks or potions you may have" Griphook explained.
Hermione nodded and did the same. "Griphook, please call me Hermione" she said as the letters started appearing. "Go on and read it Hermione" Griphook said as he handed over the parchment.

At this point, Hermione was in complete shock, not aware of the tears running down her face. All that was running through her mind was that her whole life had been a lie and she had hated her mom/papa, whoever for her whole life till death. She was full out sobbing now.
Calming herself, she turned to Griphook and asked "Can these blocks be removed?" "Of course Hermi... sorry Harmony. Follow me" Griphook said and lead her to another room decorated with runes.
"Just sit in the middle of the circle and drink these to potions. It might be a little painful but it will soon pass" Griphook said and handed Harmony two vials. Bracing herself, she quickly emptied the two vials down his throat. It was peaceful for one minute and then the pain started. She withered on the floor due to the immense pain for an agonizing five minutes before there was a blast of magic and the pain stopped.
When she stood up again, she could feel very drastic changes in her. She could now feel her magic more and also felt different and complete than before and her appearance had also changed a bit. The once bushy brown haired teen now had warm hazel eyes with a messy and short raven black hair and also had a slightly pale skin and was now 6'1.
"Woah" was all she could say before doubts plagued her mind. "Griphook, may I ask a few questions if you don't mind?" she asked. "No problem Harmony, I knew you would have some doubts. After clarifying those, I will give you your fathers' and godfather's letters." he said.
"I thought that James and Lily were married. Then how can I be the biological daughter of the two of them? Did James cheat on Lily or..." Harmony trailed off. "Your dad never cheated on either of them Harmony. I better get their inheritance papers and show it to you yourself." Griphook said and conjured the papers and letters.
Harmony read through the inheritances of Lily, Severus, James, Peter, Remus, Sirius and Regulus and was pissed off thoroughly in the end. "So... Severus and James are mates, Sirius, Remus and Tonks are mates, Regulus and Lily are mates, Peter and Sally were mates?" Harmony asked.
"You are right there. The water phoenix in Severus chose its mate in James, the werewolf in Remus chose Sirius and Tonks, and Regulus' Veela chose Lily. But maybe due to strong obliviates, they had forgotten about these relations and caused James to marry Lily using love potions and got Harry if I guessed it right."
"That means... Ronald is not a Weasley but a Black? Did he know of this? And why does it say that Regulus is alive? Wasn't he attacked and killed?" Harmony asked. "He did discover this not too long ago Harmony. I guess he didn't tell you then?" Griphook said and handed over Harmony her mate's inheritance papers. She was on the verge of breaking down right now.
"Can you make a copy of all these inheritance papers Griphook? I would like everyone close to me know" Harmony said in a steely cold voice that would make anyone shiver. "Of course Harmony. It shall be done. About Mr. Black... I think he was either in search of his son or in hiding" Griphook said and quickly copied the sheets.
"Thank you Griphook. I will go for now but I may be back soon." she said and left Gringotts and apparated to the Burrow. She walked into the living room and looked at the expectant faces of all the Weasleys along with Neville, Luna and Andromeda and Minerva.
"Before anyone asks me about my inheritance, I would like you to ask Ronald about his inheritance results" Harmony said calmly with a undertone threat to Ron, causing him to gulp. "Found it out didn't you" he said with a nervous chuckle.
"Found out what Ron? What are you hiding from us?" Arthur asked. "Dad... I'm sorry but... I'm not a Weasley?" Ron said in a quiet voice. There was pin drop silence in the room. "What do you mean Ron" Percy asked.
"Whatever I said Percy. I guess you did bring my sheet along with yours... mind reading it out?" Ron asked. "Helps more while explaining." he said to the others. "Sure Ron. I will." Harmony agreed and started reading his inheritance.

The entire crowd in the room were shocked at the revelation. "So...you are my missing godson?" Andromeda asked in tears and Ron nodded. "Ron... remember that even though you are a Black, you are also a Weasley son" Arthur said and the other Weasleys nodded.
"Take of that glamour now will you?" said Andromeda, going towards her godson to hug him. He nodded and took of the glamour. The new Ron had black hair with red streaks, blue grey eyes and was a little lean. "Do not change back Ron. Your mate will like you this way" Harmony said mischievously, as Ron didn't know that she was Harmony yet.
"Now it is your turn Hermione" said Bill. "Sorry Bill, it is Harmony. I'm Harmony Lilian Snape-Potter. Please to meet you!" she said. "My inheritance is more like Ron except that my godfathers were Peter and Regulus and godmother was Lily. Though I still hate Peter" she muttered in the end.
"Does this mean... the three of you are god and half siblings? How is that possible though?" Molly asked. "Yes... I remember that James and Severus used to hang out together often, same with Lily and Regulus, but at times, they behaved like enemies and Lily and James went out together. It was a little confusing." Minerva said.
"And that would be because James and Severus were mates and Lily and Regulus too. Due to strong obliviates and love potions, Lily and James went out. In this process, James and Lily had to legal marriages and a child with each one if my assumptions are right." Harmony said.
"I guess that would do. Albus has done a lot to break apart families. And I think the two of you want to join Harry even though you know the consequences?" Minerva asked, raising her eyebrow as the two nodded. "Are you guys ok with us going?" they asked their family. "As long as you are in contact with us" they replied, wanting justice very much.
"Then I guess we should get packing Ron" Hermione said as the two of them rushed upstairs and quickly packed up their thong in a bottomless bag before heading downstairs and put their bags down. "One last thing before we leave...we need to go to Diagon Ally for some shopping and back to Gringotts." Ron informed.
The people present nodded, knowing that their other questions would be answered too. "Don't worry though. We will answer you questions soon" Hermione said and the two apparated to Diagon Ally.
They quickly shopped for Muggle clothes, some candies and pranking items before going to Gringotts again. "I was very much expecting the two of you to come soon" Griphook said. "Hello to you to Griphook. We are going to join Harry in his mission if you hadn't guessed already and we would need some help" Ron said.
"Of course Ronald. I will give you the same as I given to Harry. I give both of you a bag that cannot be opened by anyone except you so that these secrets are safe. It will have a endless bottom and cushioning charms so that vials, if any will not break if you put it in. It will also have compartments so that you can separate and keep your things in order." Griphook said.
"Thank you Griphook. About the lordship though... I request you to hand over the Black to Andromeda Tonks, Peverell to the Weasleys, Potter to Luna Lovegood and Snape to Neville Longbottom please." Harmony said.
"They will be carried out accordingly Harmony. I also give you your lordship rings though so that you have a connection to them along with a locket that can act as a pensive so that you can store your memories. Also I retrieved the lockets that your parents had for you. It has the moving pictures of your parents." Griphook said and handed it over to them.
Ron and Harmony strung the rings to their respective lockets and wore them all, watching in awe as they merged together as one. "Can we get a letter from you that can notify your past self about the circumstances and some tips for disguises?" Ron asked.
Griphook nodded and conjured two letters that were similar to the ones given to Harry and said "This will help you identity wise. As for disguise tips... don't differ much from your original name or appearances. Slight changes will do. Harry might be having a book containing disguises through Goblin magic. Wish you good luck." Griphook said and the duo left after muttering a thank you.
Apparating back to the burrow, Harmony said "We have got a gift for all of you before you give us any. These are mirrors that can keep you in contact with whoever you want, regardless of the place and time period." she said and handed it over to everyone.
"Now that the communication problem is solved, I guess we need to talk about the Regulus Black situation in hand. If he hadn't died... then where is he? And why has he not been found yet?" Minerva asked as 'Mony and Ron took off their glamour.
Before anyone could answer to it though, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Harmony said and opened the door. Everyone waited for her to return but when they didn't get any sign of her, they slowly edged towards the door, only to find...
