I do not own anything except the fourteen year old girl who now has a name but you won't find that out for a while.
A/N: Well, yesterday, it turned out that I didn't exactly have time before soccer, so tonight I'm going to add two chapters for you. Thanks to those that added it to their story alerts and to those that reviewed. Sorry, I didn't reply, but I'll reply for sure if you review this time. :) Anyway, hope you enjoy this one.
OH! Also, I know the Weasley's are supposed to be all lovey-dovey, but well, sorry; they're not in mine. :)
Three: Bursts of Magic
Harry stood stock still as this woman hugged him. Beside him, Hermione was looking between the two of them in confusion.
"Oh Harry. I knew you couldn't be dead. I just knew it." The woman kept whispering over and over as tears fell from her green eyes.
"Um. What are you talking about?" Hermione asked.
Harry nodded, confused as well. He wasn't sure what was going on; this was the first time he's felt like this. This woman that was hugging him tightly was giving off waves of love and trust, and felt familiar to him somehow.
"Harry, dear, you are my son." The woman said, stepping back and looking at him then shifting her gaze to Hermione.
The two kid's eyes widened.
"No." Harry whispered. "Uncle Vernon said you were dead. He swore both my parents had died in a car crash."
The woman growled. "Of course he would say that." She sighed and gestured the two to take a seat. "Harry, let me explain it to you."

Remus Lupin circled his head as he rubbed behind his right ear. Something was off. He was sitting on an armchair in front of his fireplace, a cup of coffee in his hand. He had transformed back a few hours ago, and now had new scars along his face.
He sighed, running a hand along his face. His laptop sat on the table in front of him, a document open. His spare time consisted of writing or reading. In the muggle world he had become famous as an author under a pen name and nobody knew anything about him. His next deadline was in a week but he couldn't figure out how to end the story.
This one was about werewolves; practically about himself. He made them out nicer than they usually are portrayed, and his editor loved what he had written so far. Now he just had to conclude it.
Remus sighed and stared into the fireplace, thinking of how everything went wrong. He could here Moony howling inside of him, trying to tell him something, but he couldn't figure out what. The spot behind his ear began to burn again as he tried to bring up memories of those many years ago.

"Dear Merlin." Lily muttered as she stared at the two pieces of parchment in front of her. One was of Harry's inheritances and family tree while the other was Hermione's.
"What is it, Miss Lily?" Hermione asked having not looked at her parchment yet.
"Together; the two of you own Hogwarts." She whispered.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other. "Hogwarts?" The two of them had accepted Lily's explanation very quickly, as both had felt a sense of security around the older witch. Harry was trying to come to terms with finally getting to address someone as his mother.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Ila answered. "It's where young wizards and witches go at the age of eleven to learn magic."
The two nodded. "How do we own it?"
"You, Hermione, are descended from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. It looks here that your mother was born from direct descendants of both, leaving you the heir. I regret to say that none of your family is alive anymore, as you are also related to Grindewald through your father." Lily explained, her eyes roaming over the parchment.
"Who is Grindewald?" Hermione asked.
"He was a dark wizard that was defeated by Albus Dumbledore many years ago. Albus still lives and his currently the headmaster of Hogwarts." Ila explained. "But watch out for him as he is a master manipulator. Also Grindewald was a wonderful man; Albus corrupted people's views of him."
Hermione nodded slowly.
"There is more information where we'll be going; I promise." Lily answered, smiling over at the girl.
Hermione smiled back.
"Now, Harry. You are a direct descendant of Slytherin from your." She trailed off as she noticed his father's name. "This can't be right."
"I assure you it is." Ila stated.
"No. It says here that Harry's father is Tom Riddle when clearly he has the Potter hair."
Ila nodded. "Yes, but Tom also had hair like that. Harry's is clearly tamer than Jared's."
Lily looked over at Harry, studying his hair. Harry's hair was dark, almost black, but it did have a nice lay to it like Tom's did. "Okay, but I know for a fact that Jared is James'."
Ila nodded again. "It is uncommon, but not unheard of, where twins come from different fathers. One twin is created from the love of your life while the other is created because you've been forced, most commonly after you've been forced to marry the other. Harry is the one created from the love of your life, while Jared was the forced twin which is why he looks nothing like you."
Lily nodded.
"Um, mom," Harry ventured, testing how that felt on his tongue. "How is it we own Hogwarts?" Harry asked, and smiled back at the bright smile Lily beamed at him.
"Oh, right. Well, Slytherin from your dad, and Gryffindor from me. You see, Hogwarts was founded by four very talented witches and wizards; Salazar Slytherin, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw. I'll let you guys read more about it when we get to a safer place. We'll have to decide where soon. Or we could always check out each one and see what we like the most." Lily trailed off looking at the two.
"Why are you looking at us?" Hermione asked.
Lily smiled. "Hermione, I may only have just met you, but you are very dear to Harry. You are going to come with us."
Hermione's eyes started to tear up as she stared up at Lily with adoration.
Harry smiled widely as he looked between his mother and best friend.
Ila cleared her throat. "I have a suggestion."
Lily turned to her and nodded, allowing her to continue.
"I suggest that you change your last names. Hermione, you should either take your father's or mother's. However, since your father's last name was Grindewald, you might want to use your mothers, which was Stone. Harry, I would not suggest taking either Evans or Riddle. I would suggest becoming blood siblings with Hermione and taking Stone or take your grandmother's which was Saunders." Ila said.
Hermione nodded. "I'll take Stone. It sounds the safest."
Harry looked at Hermione. "Do you want to bond as siblings?"
Hermione beamed at him and nodded excitedly.
Harry turned to Ila, a bright smile lighting his face. "I'll use Hermione's."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Albus Dumbledore glared at the letter in his hands. How dare that bitch ruin his well made plans? He knew that she didn't know the truth; she wasn't strong enough to undo the spells. Everything had been going according to plan.
He sighed and ran a hand down his face. This was okay; Lily was hardly ever out in public with James and Jared anyway; nobody would notice. The black magic was still working on Severus and those that have the dark mark, everything was still good. Harry would be gone in a couple years, so that was still according to plan.
He ran a hand along his beard, contemplating what to do. The heirs to the founders hadn't been found yet, if there was one to Slytherin after Tom, so he still had the school. He had the Minister in his pocket and was the head of the Wizengamont; he had power. He had people convinced he was the Lord of the Light and that Lord Voldemort was Lord of the Dark; everything was fine, even if not quite according to plan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In a quaint home in the countryside of England, a girl with fiery red hair was sitting on the ground, watching her older brothers play Quidditch. She wasn't allowed to play because the teams would be odd then. She was always the last one to be picked; the last one to be noticed. She kept hoping her parents would notice when she did some accidental magic that really wasn't accidental at all. She had learned a couple of years ago to control her magic; something her brothers never learned. Since she was always in the shadows, she took to reading and practicing. She liked it when James and Jared came over because then she could play. She never got passed the quaffle, but she still got to fly.
She sighed. Being the youngest sucked. Her hands pulled at the grass as she started to zone out. She remembered reading that those who can control magic at a young age were considered dark. She sighed again. Guess she was going to be even more pushed away if they ever found this out. She just hoped that when she went to Hogwarts, she wouldn't be in Slytherin.
"Fred!"
Her blue eyes rose to take in the scene above her head. One of the twins were flying around the field away from the other with the quaffle in his hand, laughing. That was one thing she's never experienced before; the joy of laughing with friends or family.
One day. She thought as she continued to watch the red ball fly from brother to brother. One day, someone will see me for who I am. I will have friends. Even if I'm a Slytherin, I'll have a friend. She lifted her gaze higher into the clear blue sky. I would give anything to have just one friend. She thought.
"Ginny! Inside and start dinner!" The voice of her mother, Molly Weasley, cut through her thoughts.
Ginny stood and walked into the house; after all, she was the house elf.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry and Hermione picked up a knife at the same time and slit their hands across their palms. Neither of them flinched as they brought their hands together, the blood mixing on their palms. Lily raised her wand and whispered the incantation as Harry and Hermione clearly stated their names.
A red light spread from their hands and wrapped around the two, soaking into their skin. They stayed standing together with their hands connected as blood began to drip to the floor. As the red light began to fade, a black burst of light exploded from Harry as he screamed.
Hermione and Lily's eyes widened as they watched the light come crashing into his scar. His magic began to swirl around him; causing Hermione's to come out as well. Harry's aqua colored magic swirled around the black magic, soon being joined by Hermione's rose magic. The black magic began to fade as well as Harry's scar, fading to silver when the magic finally disappeared.
Lily sighed as she thought it was over, only to fall back against the wall as a blast of magic swirled around the room. Her eyes widened as they landed on the two kids who stood entranced staring at one another. Harry's eyes were glowing aqua and his magic was swirling around him while Hermione's eyes were glowing rose with her magic swirling around her. The magic clashed together, before passing through and into the others body, accepting the other as their sibling.
Lily stared in awe at the amount of power coming from the two of them. She grinned as she thought about what Tom would say. These two could take down Dumbledore and restore the wizarding world to what it was those many years ago. As soon as Tom came back, their plans would be set in motion.
Into the sea, at the same time, Sirius Black opened his eyes. He could feel their power; feel it thrumming around him. He knew no one else could; not even the guards. Harry was special to him, and now he had broken the spell and unleashed his power.
Sirius grinned in the darkness of his cell. Soon; soon he would break out and reunite with those he called family. His smile soon faded though as he saw his breaths come out in white puffs. He felt the feeling of dread settle over him as the dementors made their rounds.
Another place on the world felt the power coming from the two kids; a girl of fourteen had been sitting in her NEWT potions class at Magick Academy. As soon as she felt the power thrum across the ocean she smiled. It was all falling in place now; the herder won't be much long now.
A/N: All mistakes are mine...forgot to put that at the top. Hope ya enjoyed!
