Rarity In Hogwarts!

By: Rita Skeeter

For many years the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the Chief Warlock Albus Dumbledore, kept a secret from the entire wizarding world. I, Rita Skeeter, am proud to announce that not only are there half-giants at this school but there are sirens as well! Yes, for the past fourteen years the Headmaster of this school had been keeping two secrets. That the famed James Potter had an illegitimate child who was previously referred to as a 'filthy little mudblood' by one of the most prominent students.

It now turns out that Hermione Jane Granger is really Hermione Dorea Black-Potter! Her rare species have been around since the time of Merlin himself. But the sad thing is that she was the product of a drunken one night stand, not loved by anyone other than her adoptive parents.

She had once been the girlfriend of her half-brother by called it quits when they both found out who she really was. A student in Slytherin was willing to tell me a statement.

"Hermione never dated Harry! She was just to ugly too, with the buck teeth and bushy hair who would even want to!"

Although students in Gryffindor say,"Bloody hell! Just report something accurate for once!"

Where I am offended to say that they do not have the same opinion of the truth as I, this is still a huge blowout for Wizarding Britain. And by using her newly found powers, Miss Black-Potter has been found trying to seduce International Quidditch Player Viktor Krum! One students told me,"Well, she always was a bit of a whore you know? Trying to suck up fame and glory through Harry."

It is found that her great-grandmother had been a Lestrange, one family that held siren blood in its pure line, and her grandmother was also from a line of sirens as well. The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black! Even though Dorea Potter nee Black wasn't a siren herself, she carried the genes available for future generations to become one. But, that chance had been ruined once when Lily Potter nee Evans married James. Her mudblood stained the family of Potter, ruining the chances for any of her grandchildren to be sirens.

A ray of sunlight is reflected on Miss Black-Potter since she is the only pureblooded Potter left in the world.

Many students in the Great Hall read on in wonder as both Harry and Hermione raged silently. Although poor Hermione looked like she was torn between wanting to kill Rita or just crying in Gryffindor Tower by herself. The Slytherin girls roared with laughter as they read the article, each using spare parchment and ink to draw picture and write jeering notes to Hermione.

She cried as she read one before grabbing her stuff and ran out of the Great Hall, her wings dragged on the ground in sadness as her halo's bright light dimmed visibly. Many males watched as Harry ran after her, worry in his eyes, but they didn't care. Each and every one of them wanted to be the one she cried on.

Dumbledore looked on at his students in disappointment as he stood from his spot at the Teacher's table. "May I have your attention please!", he boomed as he visibly shook with anger. "I will not tolerate anyone trying to slander Miss Black-Potter's name! And as for Mister Potter, you all should be happy for him!

He never had a loving family as many of you do, so I must assume he is ecstatic to have a sibling. Anyone seen trying to make either feel bad in anyway with serve detention with Mister Filch or Hagrid!", he yelled before letting them eat again.

"Minerva, has the students always been this hateful to one another?", he asked sadly as he spooned porridge into his mouth.

"Recently for about five years I presume," she said as too gathered her things. "Well Albus, I must be off to grade papers,"she said as she left for her classroom. All the students had stopped talking by that point, but the smirks on the Slytherins' face annoyed her.

"Miss Parkinson, since you started the onslaught of notes 50 points will be taken, and you will serve detention with Hagrid for the week."

Pansy glowered as the professor made her way out of the hall, a smile on her face. "About time they begin to learn respect for others," she mumbled as she passed many students and professors alike. McGonagall was not going to her class, she was headed to Gryffindor Tower.

"Oh and my lady," she said to the Fat Lady, "Inform the prefects that the new password is Amortentia."

Striding into the common room she saw the poor siren curled up in a blanket with Harry by her side. The halo above her head might as well have disappeared because it lost so much of its light. "Happy Christmas, Mister Potter and Miss Black-Potter. How might you two be doing?", she asked as she sat in one of the many chairs.

"Horrible Professor McGonagall, they never had the right to do that to Hermione. Rita never had any right to write about her at all!," Harry yelled as his sister sniffled sadly.

"You have a point there Mister Potter. It is illegal to write about a minor in both Muggle and Wizarding Britain without their consent. You might have the right to press charges with a good enough lawyer," she said off hand as she got out of the red chair. Professor lent her hand to Hermione and pulled her up.

"There, there child. Today is a happy day, the Yule Ball is today and I assume you have a date," she said as Hermione nodded. "So there is no need to be sad, there are a lot of things to worry about other then what some petty woman thinks or writes about you. Now go do whatever you like and don't worry. Mister Potter come with me, if you want to have this whole deal sorted out."

Giving Hermione a nudge Minerva ordered, "Go wash up and get ready for the Ball like many others are now." Hermione nodded before walking upstairs, her halo brightened exponentially. "Thank you Professor," Harry said gratefully.

"Of course now come with me and I will tell you how to get in contact with some lawyers."

~.~.~.

Over the span of most of the day Hermione was nervous, many of her fellow Gryffindors had tried to make her feel better by helping her with her hair or trying to remove the lace off her wings. All in vain, but she had cracked a smile as Lavender and Parvati gasped in awe at her wings.

"Hermione your wings are so soft," Lavender commented as she got the laces of her dress out of the feathers. The Indian witch nodded as well, her twin Padma had come up to Gryffindor to get ready as well. The girls had curled and put the siren's hair in a elegant twist, leaving some out to frame her face.

The silver robes she bought were tied together at the back of her neck, leaving the rest of the lacy fabric to fall over her wings. "Oh Hermione, you look like a Greek Goddess!", Lavender yelled happily, swishing the silver robes to fall in curtains in front of her.

"I have to go down now Hermione, Dean is waiting for me," Lavender said as she grabbed a small handbag and left. Parvati and Padma right behind her, the two having to meet with both Harry and Ron. The siren fingered the ringlets as she stared at her self in the mirror.

The dress she was wearing had a sharp v-neck to them revealing some cleavage to anyone who looked, she used a golden sash to tie under her breasts due to Lavender's request. Making her chest seem much larger then it was already. From her hips down there was a slit on both sides so it was easier for her to walk in, then to top it of she wore gold colored sandals that snaked their way up her ankles.

Ginny walked into the room as Hermione got up, trying to avoid hitting bedposts with her wings. "Hermione, its about time you were finished! Come on, their waiting for you!", she yelled as Ginny pulled her out of the dorm, "They can't start without you since you are Viktor's date!"

The red head made her run down flights of stairs and long corridors until they were near the Great Hall, "Okay 'Mione, I have to leave because Neville is waiting for me. Knock 'em dead!" But before Hermione could protest Ginny ran away leaving her there.

"Its okay Hermione! Its only one night," she encouraged herself as she began to turn the corner. At the bottom of the stairs near the Great Hall was Viktor, Harry, and Parvati.

"She looks beautiful," Harry mumbled in surprise as Hermione walked down the stairs. "Krum, if you make her cry even once I'll make sure that you never ride a broom again," he threatened as the Bulgarian nodded mutely. Never once taking his eyes off of Hermione.

"Of course comrade. I vould never hurt Hermi-own-ninny," he said as he walked forward to meet her at the bottom of the staircase. Taking her hand he kissed it before clicking his heels together and bowing sharply, enjoying the blush on her face as he took her arm.

"Hi Harry," she whispered as she and Viktor walked past the pair, McGonagall had begun to put the champions in a line based of their schools' name.

"Okay Miss Delacour, you and Mister Davis in front. Then you Mister Krum and Miss Black-Potter second. Mister Diggory, you and Miss Chang are next. Finally Mister Potter, you and Miss Patil are last. Any questions?", she asked as they all got in line, "No? Okay, you lot are to start the dance before anyone can come in."

She smiled reassuringly to Hermione before opening the doors to the Great Hall with a flick of her wand, letting the champions walk in before running in herself. People in the crowd gasped in awe as the four champions and their pairs walked in gracefully. Ron was fuming beside Padma as he saw Viktor walk in with Hermione, her halo glowing brightly as they walked on.

Flitwick raised his wand to signal the orchestra as Viktor took Hermione's waist in one hand, and in his other he held one of her dainty hands. He grinned at her as she put her other hand on his shoulder, both ready to dance as the music started to play.

"Haff I told how beautiful you look tonight?" he asked as he twirled Hermione before lifting her into the air. "No, but I appreciate it regardless of when you tell me."

They both smiled as Hermione's inner siren swooned happily.

The night was going perfectly.

~.~.~.

The night was going horribly.

"You spoiled everything Ron!", Hermione yelled as Ron ran up the stairs to the Gryffindor Tower. Harry had stayed behind to check up on her, "Don't worry Harry, go get some sleep please."

With a heavy heart Harry left her alone in the corridor, other couples had long gone to find a secluded place in the castle leaving Hermione by herself on a staircase. Her wing kept her company as the tattoos on her skin comforted her with their intricate designs.

"Luff? Vhat are you doing on the ground?", Viktor asked as he came up to her, his red cloak in hand. She looked up forlorn as he knelt next to her. "Vhat happened luff? You can tell me," he urged as he draped the cloak over her wings and back.

"Ron. Never noticed I was a girl and got offended when I wouldn't go to the ball with him. He treated me like a last resort! He said I wasn't good enough for you to go to the ball with," she murmured sadly as he pulled her into a hug.

"I know a place vhere you vill be happy," he said pulled her to her feet,"Come vith me." He lead her to the courtyard of the castle before pulling out his wand. "Accio Firebolt!", he yelled and smiled as the broomstick came to a stop in front of him.

"Ve vill go for ride to secret spot," he said as he mounted the broom. Hermione clasped the cloak around her neck as she eyed the broom warily. "I am not partial to flying," she said as he laughed in response.

"You haff wings but are afraid to fly? Come luff, it is liberating to fly," he encouraged as he straddled the broom behind him. Kicking off the ground he sped into the sky and over the Forbidden Forest, chuckling as she clutched his shoulders tightly.

Soon after large sections of the forest began to recede he spotted a clearing in the forest, pushing the broom down to touchdown in the clearing. He got off the broom before helping Hermione off, and the poor siren looked like she was about to have a heart attack as he lifted her off the broom.

"How vas the flight luff?", he asked as he steadied Hermione before letting go of her waist. "It was scary! You could have been a little slower you know!", she huffed angrily as he laughed at her. "It is not vorld's fastest broom for nothing luff," he chided.

"Lumos," he said lighting up the whole clearing. He was happy in how one of the house elves set up the clearing, a romantic dinner table with many of their favorite foods on it. "How did you do this Viktor," Hermione asked as she looked at the beautiful scenery.

Her favorite flowers had been strewn about the area, and candle had been lit accordingly. "Vell, one house elf named Doddy? I think, begged me to let him prepare this. He claimed to be your friend, and vhen I vas getting some things ready he vanted to do this. I tried to insist I vanted to do it but he kind of took over," Viktor explained as he pulled a chair out for Hermione.

"So Dobby wanted to help do this for me?", she asked as she took as seat. "Yes, but at least he got some of you favorite foods for me."

Smiling at him Hermione selected some food she loved as well as some foreign food as well. "Personally luff, you must try the Pilaf first," he offered as he got some in a bowl for her. Hermione picked up her fork before tasting some of the Bulgarian food.

"Wow! Viktor, this is so delicious!", she exclaimed as the cold air added a blush to her cheeks. Momentarily distracting him as he gathered some food on his plate.

He decided then and there that he was hungry for food anymore.

Cliffhanger I know. But you will like the next chapter a lot. I got to thinking that Hermione stop living with her muggle parents and move in with Sirius. Leave a review if you like this idea or suggest another one.
