"So what you're telling me that the teleportation spell won't be enough" Chrimson said.

"Yes" Hermione replied.

"And you knew this all along" Chrimson said, her voice slowly getting higher in pitch.

Once again Hermione replied "Yes".

Chrimson was stunned. The lengths this witch was going to go to, too ensure the return of her father to this world ... Chrimson was feeling thankful, shocked, hurt and saddened. She hadn't known Hermione all that long, yet she felt a strong connection to her and considered her a true friend.

"OK. Let me get this straight. You knew the spell wasn't enough yet you were going to do it anyway. You were going to most likely kill yourself by doing that spell as it needed the blood from a family member and, before you met me, my father had no family. I am correct so far yes?"

"Yes, you are correct in everything you have said. But you have got to understand, your father is important to a lot of people. He is needed here. Even though Harry, Ron and I are no longer friends, Harry needs Sirius back." Hermione said as a way of explanation.

"Why does it matter to Harry wither my father is brought back?" Chrimson asked. She had felt Hermiones sadness when she mentioned Harry and she didn't like that he had hurt her friend in anyway. 'What did he do to Hermione to make her hate him so?' she thought to herself. 'Why does he need my dad?'

As if she could read Chrimsons thoughts Hermione said "Your dad was ... is Harry's godfather."

"Oh ok. That explains that" Chrimson mumbled. "So how much blood do we need for this spell? and do you think we can really do this? I know you said we could before but now ...."

Chrimson didn't finish. She didn't need too, Hermione understood. Chrimson was scared. Not of death but of failing. 'I wonder if it's something in the Black family bloodline that makes them except death so easily or if this is just the selfless trait Sirius has passed on?' Hermione thought.

Before Hermione could answer Chrimsons question, the library door flew open and there stood a distraught Salina and a fuming Remus. The two young women shared a look before rolling their eyes.

"Do not try and stop us." Chrimson said.

"We are doing this whether you approve or not" Hermione said.

"LIKE BLOODY HELL YOU ARE!!!!" roared Remus.

He couldn't believe what he had just overheard. He had lost too many people over the years to allow his new found goddaughter and the witch he considered a daughter to risk their lives on something that might not even work. Did they truly believe they wouldn't be stopped? 'Sirius, did you have pass on your stubborn stupidity? And why does Hermione not care if she lives or dies?' Remus' mind was racing.

"And just who is going to stop us Remus? You?" Hermione asked rising to her feet, with her arms folded.

"Yes me" Remus replied.

"Oh yeah. You and what army?" Chrimson said, also rising to her feet but putting her hands on her hips.

"Don't you dare young lady" Salina growled at her daughter.

Salina expected Chrimson to back down but instead she was shocked when she got back an answering growl.

"Back off mother"

It was then Salina noticed her daughters' eyes flashing, she could feel the power radiating off of her and it scared her.

"I believe that is enough" said the quite yet firm voice of Professor Dumbledore.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Four sets of eyes turned to stare at Professor Dumbledore. He took in the looks of all the people in the room. Remus was glowering, Salina was fearful and worried, Hermione was annoyed and tired, and Chrimson was pissed off.

After a while Dumbledore said "I think we could all use a nice cup of tea to calm down and then we can all discuss this issue."

"There is nothing to discuss" stated Chrimson. She was watching her mother and godfather very carefully.

"Ahhh, that is where you are wrong my dear. I think I may be able to help you and Miss Granger here" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye.

'What is he up to now?' Hermione thought to herself. She put her hand on Chrimsons shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze before walking past her and following Dumbledore out of the library. Chrimson heaved a heavy sigh and followed after Hermione, not even looking at her mother and godfather.

Salina watched her daughter leave then turned to Remus. "Why did she have to inherit his stubborn streak?!?!"

Remus couldn't help but chuckle. "I was just thinking the same thing. There is more to this than meets the eye. We better go and find out what."

At Salinas agreement, Remus lead her down the corridor and in to the kitchen.
