History
YOUR WHAT!"
"Pregnant, Draco I'm pregnant." Narcissa repeated calmly.
"Narcissa, thats wonderful!" Hermione smiled at the blond woman in front of her.
"I cant flaming believe this." Draco was looking at Hermione as if she was a traitor, to the whole wizarding world. "And I bet this is all your fault!" He said, glaring at Snape.
"Draco, please, calm down."
"How the bloody hell do you expect me to calm down I haven't seen you for six months! thinking it was because your on a secret mission, and you decide to come to me now! of all times! to tell me, you were away because your PREGNANT." Draco ranted.
"Lets just be reasonable about this."
"Reasonable?! reasonable? are you absolutely crazy!"
They where in Snapes office,which was some how not as gloomy as before. Draco and Hermione where sitting in front of Snape's desk, both of them staring at Narcissa in shock.
Narcissa who hadn't been seen for almost six months, sat behind Severus's desk, one head leaning in one hand, while her other hand was resting on her 'six months pregnant stomach.' himself was standing behind his wife hands on her shoulders, and a bemused smile on his face.
Narcissa looked to Hermione for help. Hermione sighed, "Sit down, Draco." Hermione's tone calmed Draco instantly, he sat down on the arm chair next to her. She took his hand an rubbed circles onto the back of his palm.
"Draco-" Narcissa started again, "I know this is a shock, and we would have told you sooner but with your father i couldn't really go up to you at a Death Eater meeting could i?"
"…"
*sigh* "I'm not going back to the manor, Draco, and I wanted my son to be secret keeper to and to his baby sister.."
Draco looked up at his mother, her blond hair framing her face, and her blue eyes almost begging. 'baby sister.' for some reason, he liked the sound of that.
Draco sighed, "Fine, but I'm not happy about it."
Narcissa smiled at her son and motioned to Snape to help her up. "Mother, your as big as a house." Draco told her, half smiling.
Narcissa laughed. "Thank you Draco, always the charmer."
"Hermione you will cast the charm?" Narcissa asked. Hermione looked surprised but confirmed non the less.
She drew her wand and Narcissa handed her a piece of parchment with the address written on it.
Severus and Draco stood before Hermione as she pointed her wand at them. "Include yourself dear." Cissy ordered Hermione.
"You want me as third keeper?" Hermione was shocked.
"Of course, I'll need you to be able to visit me."
Mione smiled and raised her wand again.
"'Fidelius
Narcissa Snape,
Hidden away will you be in number 12 Spinners End,
Your location not visible to those who will search you out
Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, Hermione Halliwell this location is hidden within you
if you reveal this location they will be found and this charm lifted.
Fidelius!" Hermione waved and flicked her wand in extraordinarily complicated movements, and watched as a thick tongue of fire winds around their bodies.
"Thank you Hermione. Now Sev, if you would take me home, its awfully late. Goodnight Draco, Hermione." Cissy kissed Draco's cheek and allowed Snape to lead her to the fireplace
Draco shook his head as he watched the green fames swirling around them. "Thats my mother for you, always business."
Hermione laughed and dragged him out of the room.
"·$%&/()=
"Morning."
Phoebe looked up from the paper she was reading and smiled at her daughter.
"Good Morning."
Hermione smiled sat down on the sofa in front of her mother. "Sorry about last night, Narcissa had quite a lot to say."
Phoebe laughed, "Pregnancy will do that to you."
"You knew?"
"Sev, Owled me this morning."
"Ah."
Phoebe put down the paper. "I still have to talked to you though, lets go take a walk."
Hermione stood up and let Phoebe lead her out. They walked down each stair case in comfortable silence, till they found themselves siting under an oak tree near the lake.
"So, what is it that you need to tell me." Hermione asked, resting her chin on her knees.
Phoebe was quiet for a second, then said, "I think its mostly because of all the magical training you have to do, that I just got this idea… We where brought back not only to train you, but, to teach you about yourself, about us, our history, our story. Can you understand that?"
"Yeah, and I'd love to hear it. The famous Halliwell story, thats something I cant get from a book." Hermione told her, matter-of-factly. "So tell me." She nudged her mother, like a little girl pinning on a bed time story.
Phoebe laughed, "Well… The Halliwell family are descendants of the Warren line of witches that started with Melinda Warren daughter of Merlin, if you can believe that. Because Merlin and his wife were so powerful they passed those powers onto their daughter, and each Warren witch would possess at least one of the three original powers: Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization and Premonition. ((There has been a charmed one since the beginning of time, every generation there has been a descendant from the Halliwell line, the chosen ones are marked with this very symbol." Phoebe showed her the symbol on her right shoulder blade. ))Since the witches in the Warren line are powerful because of their bond as family. One of the things that have made the Charmed ones and all witches in especially the line so strong is their bond as a family.
Thats why Prue, Piper, Paige and I were so powerful in are time, three sister witches, whose powers are directly linked to their bond as sisters."
"Amazing." Hermione interrupted.
"Yeah, but to us, i guess its just, life." Phoebe reached for her hand.
"Anyway, your aunts and I finished Hogwarts, all of us Head-girls of our years, and when we came back to London, we all lived separately for some time and when mother died and we moved back in with dad to the manor Prue, Piper, Paige and Myself . "Charmed Ones" Officially came into their powers.
We served as powerful good witches who protected the innocent as best as we could. Receiving our powers drew the us closer i think. But then Voldemort came into the pitcher and Prue being the strongest, had to disappear, and we just forgot her, it makes me wonder how close sisters can actually be if they can still forget each other…" Phoebe paused.
"But I thought the charmed ones, were all equally strong."
"We are mostly, but, Prue's the oldest, actually i think, it has more to do with the fact that Prue was the one who didn't take to the whole charmed thing easily, even though we knew from a young age what we where, and who are parentes were, Prue didn't know how to balance being a charmed one into her adult life. She spent a lot of time and energy becoming a more powerful witch, then there was the fact that dad was always busy, of being Albus Dumbldore. and Prue was the one who took care of us.
Shes "super witch" to us and always will be.
"And what about you?" Hermione asked.
"Me? Well I'm…I'm the rebellious one, the one who fell in love and married a demon, actually thats something we need to talk about, Hermione you do realize, your father is half demon and that makes you more or less the same, still pure-blooded, just more powerful.
your father… once worked for the source,"
"What!?"
"Yeah, he was ordered to come after me, but his human side kept me out of danger. After one particular fight against the source, Cole got vanquished but because of his human side, he didn't die, we just made him smuggle.
But then, the souse took over his body and Cole actually became the source, around the time i was pregnant with you. and i left him.
"Wow. Talk about broken home."
"it gets better, somehow, Cole's love for me, us, able him to control
the source and destroy him from the inside. killing the source inside him and himself. But since your father was half human, his soul lived on, and found me again-, and i never really found out how, ask your father. -but because of my love for him i was able to give him his life back, and with his body, came the old demonic powers, cant win them all a guess."
*Pause.*
"actually, it was you, you gave Cole his powers back."
"Me?"
phoebe smiled. "i had just given him his body back, when bubbling green lights came from my stomach. to this day we believe you give yr father his demonic powers back, because you had the same ones."
"so to get this strait, i, being a Halliwell, was born with a power of my own. and demonic powers from dads side. then i was passed down Prue, piper, Paige yrs and dads powers??"
"yep."
"so … im the strongest witch ever."
"yep. but i don't know what will happen after the battle, it all depends on the strength you have to control them."
"…"
Phoebe reached out and hugged Hermione.
----------------------------------Flash------------------------
it must have been the middle of Dinner, The Great Hall was full as usual, but instead of siting down to the feast in front of them, every student in the hall was standing staring at the Slytherin table, where a group of students where huddled. Someone broke into the crowed, Draco was kneeling on the stone floor next to someone murmuring something incomprehensible, suddenly he shifted and reviled a kneeling Hermione, she was clutching her head, almost tearing at her hair. She was rocking back and fourth answering incomprehensible answers, tears ruining down her cheeks…
'Please. Now more. It hurts. Please.'
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What was that!" Hermione was gasping for air, and Phoebe was doing the same.
"Premonition, so much detail." Phoebe gasped out.
"Us touching made it stronger." Hermione thought allowed
"Because of our bond." Phoebe stated.
"Hermione!"
Phoebe and Hermione looked up to see a figure running towards them. "Harry?" Hermione called, recognizing the mop of unruly hair.
Harry finally reached them he was panting, "Hermione."
"Whats wrong?"
"It's PansyShe'shaveing ameltdownShewanted Blaisebut i couldn'tfindhim!!" Harry gasped out.
Hermione shook her head. "Again please, I didn't get any of that."
Harry sighed. "Pansy, she's having some kind of meltdown in the library, and I cant find Blaise. I've got to go meet Dumbledore, take care of her till lunch for me. Please."
"Oh." She looked to her mother, "we'll talk later. Got to go." And promptly ran after Harry, who was already way ahead.
"Hermione! Shimmer!" Phoebe's voice was loud almost as if next to her.
"Shimmer? What?!" She paused for a second. "Oh right! Thanks!" She called back.
Concentrating a part of herself she hadn't yet figured out she focused on shimmering her appearance.
When she shimmed back, she was in the library itself. "Pansy?" She called out as loud as she could, walking in between the rows of books.
"Pansy?"
"Mya?"
"Mya over here."
Hermione followed, Pansy's voice to the back shelves. where Pansy was siting, completely distraught, and almost intimately coved in dust.
"God Pans what happens?" Hermione asked, rushing up to her friend.
"It's just-Hiccup-everything-Mya-I cant stand it! It all just exploded on me!" Pansy sobbed.
Hermione put her arm around her friend, who sobbed into her chest.
Mya didn't know how long they sat like that she started to think she could actually feel Pansy sadness. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked But finally Pansy settled down.
Pansy sat up and nodded, taking steady breaths. She looked over at Hermione sadly.
"Go on-Hermione told her- "I wont interrupt."
"Evey things just getting to me, being part of the order seems like a choice I should never have made, Hermione, I'm not ready to stand next to Voltmeter and pretend everything is OK, Stand by him, even if its only pretend, and kill innocents! I cant do it Hermione, I just cant." Pansy had tears in her eyes, but she was gaining control of herself.
"I'm selling the Parkinson house. I'll finish my 7th year, between the money I'll get from the the house, and everything my parents owns is in my position now im of age, I'm set for the rest of my life, Hermione, once I leave school, I'm adopting two 6 year olds."
"What!" Hermione sat up in her chair, "What did you say?!"
"I'm adopting, Sara and Penny Hinder." Pansy told her decidedly.
Hinder, Hinder !gasp!
"Oh, Pansy… You cant!"
"Hermione, I killed their mother, and I promised her I would keep her daughters safe, and that is what im going to do."
"All by yourself?!"
Pansy smiled. "Blaise is selling his mansion, he's moving in with me, and he says he'll help me."
"Wait, so you to are together?" Hermione asked, interested.
Pansy laughed, "Mya, you know Blaise and I are nothing more then best friends, actually, Harry asked me out a few days ago, when that demon attacked your aunts, I want up there to see you, but plans changes."
Hermione seemed thoughtful, she could feel Pansy's happiness about her plan, but there where still doubts, "Pans…are you sure about this? Really?"
"Hermione." Pansy sighed. "There are douts, I'm 17 and I'm going to adopt two girls, but I'll get through this, , I'll make it work, Because my friends, my best-friends will be behind me."
Randomly Hermione felt the truth of her friends words hit her, she lunged actors the table and hugged her.
"We'll always be there."
"Lets go to lunch."
The Great Hall was as loud as ever, Hermione and Pansy linked arms as the walked over to the Slytherin table. Pansy sat down first,between Blaise and Draco leaving room for Hermione on Draco's right, but Hermione kept on her feet looking around the hall, I want to stop and smell the roses a while. Pansy's voice filled her head.
Draco, Pansy and Blaise all stared up at her.
Hermione smiled, and closed her eyes, taking in the Slytherin of the Hall before her almost breathing in the its magic. 'Hogwarts Great Hall, and this is my last year. How could I waste so much time.'
and then she felt it a wave of emotion crashed over her, something that was somehow disconnected to her own feelings.
She was overwhelmed by all this random emotions that where popping in to her head.
She put a hand on her temple to steady herself. Suddenly she wanted to cry.
She gasped, because of the sudden rush of pain that hit her head,
"Hermione?" Blaise's worried voice was too distant, asif not really there.
Mya mourned and grabbed her head, shrinking down, and ending up on her knees.
"Hermione!" Draco, Pansy and Blaise all yelled at the same time.
Harry, Ginny and Ron ran over to her from their table, followed by Prue and Piper.
very student in the hall was standing staring at the Slytherin table, where the group of students where huddled. Phoebe broke into the crowed,and saw exactly what she had seen in her premonition, Draco was kneeling on the stone floor next to someone murmuring something incomprehensible, to Hermione, she was clutching her head, tearing at her hair, rocking back and fourth, tears ruining down her cheeks…
'Please. No more. It hurts. Please.'
