Chapter Nine: You want a Revolution? I want a Revelation!

November 1, 2011/1775

Meanwhile, in the past…

General George Washington was very pissed off.

He had thought that his only Heiress would be safe within the walls of his former school, and that he wouldn't have to worry about her getting killed.

The troll attack last night had changed all that.

"CAPTAIN HAMILTON!" He bellowed, standing up and sitting on his desk.

"Yes sir?" Alexander Hamilton came running into the room, breathing heavily.

"Do you know of my adoptive daughter's special… situation, Alexander?"

Alex shook his head. He knew that the General had an adopted daughter named Athena, but he didn't know anything about a "special situation." (A/N: Yes, due to Washington being a wizard, and Hamilton himself being one, he does know about the w.w.)

George sighed, and sat back down in his chair. "Alexander, this is a really long story, and I mean super long, so you might want to sit down and pull up a chair." Alex did just that, and Washington began telling the story, starting with that terrible Halloween night in the year 2001. After explaining the whole time travel concept, he began telling the story of how he first met Athena, followed by her first few years.

"Athena and I grew close over the course of her early years, developing a bond which no magic could break. I helped tutor her with her magical abilities, and, with the help of Ben Franklin, she soon became a prodigy in both worlds, magical and non-magical. Sadly, pretty soon, she got her letter to Hogwarts School in futuristic Scotland, and that's where she is now. That's where I thought she would be safe, that she would be able to stay out of any war of any kind. Anyway, yesterday I got a letter that told me someone let a troll in the castle, which nearly killed one of Athena's best friends, and now I'm really pissed off. Basically, what I am asking is: Would you be willing to come with me (just for safety, you know) to Hogwarts so I can rip Headmaster Dumbledore, the same one who left her at those horrible Dursleys, a new one?"

"I would be honored, General. In fact, I would love to help you with your little… quest."

"Then we best be off!"

In the Future

"Who's going to poke the bear?"

"I'm not going to poke her! She's nasty in the mornings!"

"I second the motion!"

It was about six o'clock on the morning of November 1, and all the Ravenclaw first year girls were currently gathered around Flora Franklin's bed, debating about who would have the… honor of being the one to wake her up. Eventually, it was Padma Patil who volunteered to do it.

A few minutes later, a grumpy but awake Flora, a cheerful Athena, Anthony, and a still extremely exhausted Hermione were all ready to go to the Great Hall and have their breakfast. Chatting and debating, they made their way down to the Hall, with plenty of time to spare before the start of classes. Little did Athena know, she would not be attending a good portion of her classes for the day, due to an unexpected visitor.

Once they sat down at lunch, with Draco making his way over to sit with them, Athena proposed that they play a round of the muggle card game President, and began to explain the rules. They played a few rounds, pausing a few times to take a bite of their food, before they were interrupted by the surprise visitor mentioned earlier.

At the sound of the doors banging open, Athena and co. turned to look and see what the disruption was.

It was George.

George began to walk at a steadfast pace toward where Athena was sitting at the Ravenclaw table, the eyes of many of the people in the now-silent Great Hall following him. Athena stood up, and it took all her composure not to run up and hug him as tight as she could. That is, until he wrapped her in a hug of his own.

"George!" Athena exclaimed, looking up from the hug. "I didn't expect to see you here this morning!" She glanced over, and noticed Mr. Hamilton standing to the side. "Oh, hello Captain (A/N: I'm not sure if I got that right; can someone plz let me know if I did not?) Hamilton. Pleasure to see you again."

Alexander nodded to show his agreement, just as George began to speak in a semi-quiet voice. "After I got your letter about the attack last night, I had to come and make sure you were alright, because SOMEBODY," Washington glared at Dumbledore with such ferocity, an icy cold glare the General usually reserved for Howe, that the Headmaster sunk very far into his seat. "Couldn't keep my only Heir safe. Headmaster Dumbledore?" He called up to the Head Table. "May we please take this to your office? I would also like Captain Hamilton and Professor Flitwick, acting as his role as head of Ravenclaw House, to be present at this meeting."

A few moments later found Athena and co. once again at the entrance to Dumbledore's office, facing the stone gargoyle that guarded the Headmaster's chambers.

"Chocolate frogs," Dumbledore told the gargoyle, which sprung aside to let the "esteemed" Headmaster in. The delegation entered the office, and Dumbledore conjured chairs for everyone to sit in.

"I presume that you must be General Washington, sir? An honor to meet you." Dumbledore said, holding out his hand for the General to shake. Much to Athena's glee, George refused to shake.

"And yes, I do know who you are." George replied shortly, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms. "You are the man who a) left my daughter with those despicable Dursleys, and b) almost made her life hell, not to mention c) put her in danger in a place where she should have been safe as can be. The main reason I sent her here is so that she could escape the Revolution! Now, it seems, with Lord Voldemort not fully dead, she will be entering another war! Is all of the world this screwed up?"

Dumbledore frowned. The Headmaster did not know which direction he wanted to take this discussion in, and that was a first for the old mage. He liked to be on top of everything, and to be the one with the best cards in his hand during a debate. So, after reviewing what little he knew about the relationship between Athena Potter and George Washington, he decided to play on the man's desire to protect his daughter from the horrors of war. He listened closely; it seemed as if Athena was talking to the General about something.

"... dad, I perfectly understand if you want to protect me from the horrors of the Revolution, and from getting injured or captured by the British regulars, but you are forgetting that I am perfectly capable of hand-to-hand combat. Hell, I just took down a fully grown Mountain troll, for goodness' sake! I could handle a brigade of Redcoats just fine!"

"If you say so, Daughter. When you prove yourself on the field, you might be given troops to command when I feel ready to. In the meantime, Alexander, will you help mentor her with this? I'm counting on you. But if you make one major error during your course of duty, I will pull you out."

Hamilton nodded, and the General continued speaking. "Excellent. Now that that matter is closed, can you perhaps tell my why my daughter and one of her friends were attacked by a troll in what is supposedly the safest building in the world, according to it's esteemed Head?"

Dumbledore did not have an answer for that, so he tried to think of something quick to say that would placate the angry General.

~XXXXXX~

A few minutes later, the conversation was steered in a direction in which Dumbledore held more of the cards, for which the aged Headmaster was very grateful. They argued back and forth, with Washington winning, and Dumbledore finally agreed to drop the issue. Athena, Alexander, and George, however, knew that the meddling old coot was not done yet.

Finally, the meeting was over, and it was a laughing trio that left the Office, snickering over how angry Dumbledore had gotten when George had told him that his guardianship over Athena was permanent. His reaction had been so funny! Apparently, the headmaster couldn't handle the truth.

At long last, the trio arrived in the Great Hall, where everyone was sitting down to lunch, once again accosted by the stares of many pairs of eyes. Causally, they walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat, with Athena sitting between Alexander (Call me Alex) Hamilton and her father. Hermione, Anthony, Flora, and Draco sat across from them, staring at the trio curiously. The other people in the hall muttered and mumbled amongst themselves.

Draco was the first to break the silence amongst the group of seven. "Athena, could you perhaps introduce us to these gentlemen?"

"Sure!" Chirped Athena with enthusiasm. "This is my father, General George Washington, and this lovely gentleman on my left is Captain Alexander Hamilton. Father and Alex, this is Draco Malfoy, Heir to the Malfoy line."

"An honour and a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Malfoy." George responded, shaking Draco's hand.

"Please, call me Draco. Mr. Malfoy is my father." Draco told the General, grinning. "It is a pleasure to meet you two,"

Athena spoke up. "This is Flora Franklin, Hermione Granger, and Anthony Goldstein, who are all very good friends of mine."

Flora decided to take the chance first. "Greetings, General Washington and Captain Hamilton. I feel honoured to meet men as distinguished as yourselves."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Franklin. Now if you'll excuse us, we must ask the Headmaster a question."

Flora nodded, and the trio got up, walking toward the staff table.

"Professor Dumbledore?"

The Headmaster looked up from his steak. "Yes, Miss Washington?"

"My father and I would appreciate it if you would let us spend the rest of the day together to solve some issues that have come up." Athena told the Headmaster, grinning at him. Dumbledore seemed to debate with himself for a minute, before finally agreeing to let them go out for the day.

Athena said goodbye to her friends, telling them that they would be back before curfew, and she, Alexander, and George walked out the huge oak doors that guarded the entrance to the Great Hall.

"So, George, where are we going?"

"To Gringotts. I don't know why, but I am getting this gut feeling that your biological parents' will has been tampered with, and I just want to check it. I also want to start an investigation into why you were left with those miserable Dursleys."

"Okay. How are we getting there?"

A few minutes later found George, Athena, and Alex all dizzy from the ride on the Day Bus (the counterpart of the Knight bus) and standing in front of the Leaky Cauldron. After applying Disillusionment Charms on himself, Athena, and Alex (so that Athena would not be mobbed by well-wishers), George led the two through the pub and the archway that led into the Alley.

~XXXXXXX~

The Trio left Gringotts a few hours later, exhausted yet cheerful due to their success with their meeting with Director Ragnok. But, they were also extremely pissed off. It had been discovered that Dumbledore had indeed been tampering with her parents' wills, and that he sealed them two days after Athena had been placed with the Dursleys, so that they wouldn't be read on her eleventh birthday like they were supposed to. That problem was soon going to be fixed, because there would be a will reading in a week's time.

They had also discovered that Athena was the Heir of House Black, and that she had a Godfather by the name of Sirius Black, who was currently in Azkaban Prison, wrongfully imprisoned. George and Ragnok were working on a plan to get him out. Between George's standing in History and Ragnok's high-up position in the Goblin government, the three felt that Sirius would be free soon enough… so long as no one interfered.

One of the most horrifying things that they had discovered, however, was that Dumbledore had been stealing from Athena's vault, and giving both the Weasleys and Dursleys money for very obvious reasons. He had also placed a charm on Athena that repelled all mail owls that were not sent by himself or the Weasleys, which they had discovered when Ragnok asked why Athena had not been getting any monthly statements about her account.

But, there was at least one good thing that had come out of the Gringotts trip, even though they had discovered some things that shocked all three to the very core. Athena had visited the Potter vault and retrieved a portrait of her birth parents, Lily And James, which was currently shrunken and in her pocket. And she could now finally start breaking free from Dumbledore.

So, to sum it all up, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was screwed. Big time.

END OF CHAPTER

Author's Note: Hey guys! I finally updated this story! WOOT WOOT! So, yeah! Alex Hamilton enters the picture as Athena's mentor on the battlefield! I hope you all liked this chapter, and please, no flames. We finally also get to see the gang start to work on getting Sirius free, but when will Athena realize that Pettigrew is living at Hogwarts, right under her nose? And what will be the event that finally causes George to crack and send Athena to a school other than Hogwarts, or at least tutor her himself? Please, do not flame me about any historical inaccuracies.
