Chapter Five: The Heir of Rowena Ravenclaw

It was the middle of August and Hermione was going crazy since her letter that had her O.W.L. grades still hadn't arrived. Hermione was in Ron's room along with Harry, Ginny and Luna. Brooke was downstairs getting a glass of water, and over the one month that she had stayed at the Burrow, Harry and the others had become really close to her. Brooke walked into the room smiling and waving four letters in her hands. Hermione let out a squeal as Brooke handed their letters to them.

They all opened their grades at the same time, Hermione looking upset about her marks, while Ron and Harry couldn't of been happier. Laughing, Ron snatched Hermione's grades from her hands and looked at them for a couple of seconds.

"Yep, just as I thought. Ten 'Outstanding's but she only managed to get an 'Exceeds Expectations' in Defense Against the Dark Arts," Ron smiled at Harry, "Hey, mate, what did you get?"

"I passed everything except Divination and History of Magic, plus I pulled and 'Outstanding' in Defense Against the Dark Arts," Harry smirked at Hermione. then turned to Ron, "And you?"

"I managed to get seven O.W.L.s," Ron shrugged.

"Did you see what you needed to get for your sixth year?" Ginny gasped.

"We're going to Diagon Alley, today, aren't we?" Brooke asked.

"Yes, we leave in an hour," Harry answered.

"Well you two should be getting ready!" Hermione addressed Harry and Ron in a motherly tone.

"Bugger off, Hermione," Ron glared at her, "We'll get ready when we feel like it."

"Honestly, Ronald!" Hermione scoffed.

Everyone laughed, including Ron and Hermione, and when an hour finally passed they all met downstairs to wait for Mister and Missus Weasley. When they arrived, the two adults began to speak.

"Kids, Mrs. Weasley and I have been talking," Mr. Weasley started.

"And as much as I don't approve, we agreed that you are all old enough to go to go to Diagon Alley by yourselves," Mrs. Weasley finished while crossing her arms in a very child-like manner.

"Blimey!" Ron bellowed out, "This is great. Let's go!

"Diagon Alley," everyone chanted one after the other as the group stepped into the green flames.

"Let's split up," Ron suggested, "Luna and I will be going to Flourish and Blotts, Ginny and Brooke can go to the Cauldron Shop, and-,"

"And Hermione and I will go to Gringotts," Harry interrupted, "Let's go."

The six teens split up in various directions. "Why Gringotts?" Hermione asked.

"I need to get some money out," Harry simply explained.

They arrived at a building which had white pillars and marble steps. Harry entered the Bronze doors along with Hermione. He approached a podium that held a goblin, and Harry pulled a small key out of his pocket before speaking to the creature. "I would like to make a withdrawal," Harry handed the key over.

"This way sir," the goblin lead him to a cart, and soon they arrived at a huge vault where Harry entered his key. He opened the door and entered where many Knuts, Sickles, Galleons, and even a random gem were held. As Harry began to collect some gold pieces, Hermione noticed a small piece of paper on the floor. She picked the scrap up and read:

Rowena Ravenclaw's Heir can be found here.

"Harry, come here now!" Hermione panicked, "Read this."

"Rowena Ravenclaw's Heir can be found here?," Harry read aloud, "What do you think this note's talking about?"

Suddenly the goblin that assisted them entered the vault. "Before I forget," he spoke, "A human left this cup here for you to find." The creature touched a section of stone revealing a hidden passageway, and Harry and Hermione followed cautiously. The goblin handed Harry a cup with a eagel carved on the rim and topaz coming down the stem.

"Hermione this is Ravenclaw's cup!" Harry bellowed handing his partner the mug.

As the artifact entered Hermione's hands, a blue aura appeared around, before she handed the cup back to an equally shocked Harry.

"What was that?" the boy asked.

"I don't know," her bushy hair swinging as she shook her head.

"Hermione, I think that you're the heir of Ravenclaw!" Harry exclaimed.

"But... but how can this be?" Hermione asked confused, a very rare moment indeed.

"We need to go!" Harry pocketed the cup carefully.

The two heirs ran out of the room with the goblin chasing behind until they reached the exit of Gringotts. They rushed out of the bank urgently looking for Ron and Luna. They found them at Flourish and Blotts paying for their books while Ginny and Brooke stood off to the side.

"Harry, Hermione, there you are!" Brooke exclaimed.

"We have to go back to the Burrow, now!" Harry rushed everyone out of the shop.

As soon as everyone had their supplies they were soon back at the Weasley's and Harry lead all of the teenagers into Ron's room. "Watch this," Harry gave Hermione the cup.

Hermione grabbed the handle and for the second time, a blue aura began to glow around her before immediately stopping. Everyone looked at Hermione in awe as she placed the cup on the floor and sat next to it.

Luna was the first to speak, "Where did you find that cup? I'm surprised that Iddle Dimplydoos haven't gotten it yet," she said gazing down at it dreamily.

"Someone dropped it off at my vault," Harry explained.

"Bloody hell," Ron said still shocked, "Hermione is the Heir of Ravenclaw,"

"I really have to use the loo," Brooke got up and headed for the door.

Brooke went into the bathroom, locked the door, and turned on the sink and tub as she pulled out a small mirror. She waited for an image to appear in the reflection, and when who she was looking for finally showed up she smiled.

"The mudblood is the Heir of Ravenclaw," Brooke explained.

"Very good Brooke," Voldemort grinned, "Get very close to the four Heirs, so that when it's time for battle, it won't be such a surprise for me when they attack."

"Just two more to go," Brooke smirked, "One more thing. Someone's been helping Potter."

"Who?!"

"He doesn't know but I'm sure that he'll find out soon," Brooke reassured the Dark Lord.

"Be certain he does," Voldemort nodded.

"I imagine that they will be telling the old fool soon, so-" Brooke stopped speaking when she heard a knock on the door, "I will contact you soon, Master."

She quickly turned the water off and went to the door and unlocked it. She turned the knob to reveal Hermione with a worried expression plastered to her face. Brooke smiled at her.

"Are you okay?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

"I thought I heard another voice in there with you."

"Nope it's just me," Brooke smiled again, "Are you sure that you're not hearing things?"

"I don't know." Hermione walked away very slowly.

Brooke laughed as she had just fooled Hermione. 'Could that mudblood possibly know what I am planning?' Brooke crossed her arms and went back into the bathroom.

"Playing with these fools is going to be easy!"
