Light III: Titles and Probation.
The Elder woman and the young girl, whirl around to look at her. The woman had the air of a professor or teacher about her the girl a beautiful brunette with striking brown eyes which hold a look of confusion stare at Selene. The woman recovers first and says "Yes it was, whom may I ask are you?" The woman's voice has strength in it and a Scottish lilt to it, however this woman is two things are obvious, one she is fairly powerful and two, she's Scottish.
Selene smiles and does a curtsy slightly lifting the bottom of her Kimono which has a beautiful images of a Moonlit Forest with Large Silver Wolves on it. (Selene has a Kimono for every God and Goddess Major or Minor except for Hercules) before answering "Selene Lilith Potter, Excuse me but may I ask who you and your little friend here are?"
Minerva McGonagall smiles at Selene remembering her parents and says "My friend as you called her is Miss Hermione Granger and I am Minerva McGonagall Transmutation Professor at Hogwarts, are you here alone Lady Potter?"
Selene stares at McGonagall in bewilderment before asking "Lady? Why did you call me a Lady?"
McGonagall looks surprised before she says "Because you are the heir to the Potter Family, Which is a Dukedom in the Wizarding world, I Know this because I taught your Father James. Since you appear to be buying supplies for Hogwarts it must mean that you have reached the age of eleven, with no other family living you automatically assumed your full heritage and rank, I would suggest you visit Gringotts and have your Inheritance test done so you can receive your Family Signet Ring which will mark you as a Adult in the Wizarding world and allow you to perform magic at home, I assume you are here to get your wand"
Selene shakes her head and says "No I am not, I already have it. I thank you for the help and I will go to Gringotts and have the test run, No I simply stopped here due to simple curiosity. Imagine my surprise when I saw a young girl my age pick up the Sister Wand to my own" McGonagall's eyebrows shoot up and her mouth drops open in surprise.
She then stutters out "Y-y-your w-wands s-sister w-wand, oh my Miss Potter, not terms not even started and you've already live up to your father's ability to shock me"
Hermione who up until this point had been silent asks "What's so important Professor McGonagall
McGonagall calms down a little and says "Every wand in existence has a 'Sibling' wand, the gender of which is chosen by the gender of whichever wand's wielder first picks their wand out, The reason I am so surprised is that it is exceedingly rare for both wands owners to be the same age, in fact it is most common for the first's wielder to die of old age before the second's appears, if both wielders are alive and the same age it is seen in the eyes of magic as a bond identical to marriage, You two are now betrothed to wed" Hermione's face pales as she works through the realities of this, Selene just sighs.
Selene then curses in Ancient Greek "Damn you Fates I'll get you back one day, this is for the time I made your dresses turn to formal wear instead of the usual ones isn't it, Mother I know you're watching me, and so I say, Stop Laughing Zeus Damn it, I know your laughing" McGonagall, Ollivander and Hermione all stare at her in amazement trying to figure out exactly what she said. Luckily for Selene none of them knew Ancient Greek.
Olympus at that time
Throughout the throne room was sounds of laughter as the Gods fought and failed to hold in their 'opinion' of their favorite Mortal/Demigoddess' predicament.
Diagon Alley, Ollivander's Wand Shop
Selene looks at the other three before she sighs and walks over to Hermione, she then pulls a necklace off of her neck and hands it to Hermione, It's a fairly dainty necklace with five symbols on it made of Silver, It has a Dove, A Anvil, A Lightning Bolt, A Peacock feather and a Torch. When Hermione looks up at Selene she sighs and says "It's something my adoptive parents gave me and told me to give to the one I intend to marry, since for the current moment we are betrothed it is yours to wear, in time you'll discover what the symbols mean. The only hint I give is look to Greek Mythology other than that it's up to you, now put it on it has protective magic on it that'll keep you safe"
Hermione puts the necklace on and the two men watching are amazed when she starts to glow and the smell of Ozone, Perfume, Coal, A Home and something simply magical appears. The little Icons glow before they return to being inert. Hermione then smiles and says "Thank you for this gift"
Selene smiles, "You're welcome, also the wands on me you don't have to pay" Hermione gasps and looks at Ollivander who nods in agreement with Selene's comment. As they walk out the store Selene asks "Now tell me. What do you know of Greek Mythology?" Selene was quite astounded to learn they knew almost nothing on Greek Mythology, she would have offered to give them some of her books but they were all in ancient Greek and she didn't know any translation spells, McGonagall and Hermione soon say goodbye and head off to return to Hermione's home.
Selene however heads for Gringotts to learn more of her inheritance, she walks up to the bank again and nods politely to the goblins, who only just barely resist throwing themselves to the ground in a bow to the Demigoddess/mortal. Selene walks over to the empty line that says 'Inheritance' the goblin teller looks up as she approaches "Greetings Goblin warrior, I have come to learn of my possible inheritance, would you please administer the test?" The goblin sniffs a little before staring in surprise and nodding.
"Of course Divine One, my name is Ripfang and I would be happy to help, please follow me" Ripfang opens a door next to his station and motions Selene to follow, she follows him through the corridors until she reaches a room labeled 'Inheritance Testing'.
They open the door to a small chamber with a marble altar in the middle, Ripfang shouts something in Gobbledygook to a goblin waiting in the room, the goblin hurries out "Please wait a moment Divine One, Terrorclaw is just getting the instruments for the test"
Selene raises an eyebrow "May I ask why you are calling me 'Divine One'"
Ripfang smiles "I call you divine one because you are a child of the Gods, in fact I've met demigods before and your scent is much stronger, almost like a goddesses' in fact. Be careful of gaining more power, you might find the cost more than you are willing to pay"
Selene smiles "A cost I am perfectly willing to pay, I was raised by the gods and am not very good at relating to ordinary mortals because of it. Several times I've given thought to joining the Hunt under Artemis, but something warns me that is a bad idea"
Ripfang just nods, Terror claw comes back in holding a length of parchment about six feet long and a silver knife. Ripfang takes the instruments and lies the Parchment on the Altar. Ripfang then turns to Selene "Pardon me, but in order to make the test work you must allow yourself to be cut and your blood to spill on the parchment. Do not worry, the knife is enchanted to heal your wounds afterwards"
Selene just nods and takes the knife, she leans her left hand over the parchment and slices her left palm. Red Blood and Golden Ichor falls on the parchment, and red and gold writing appears. The cut on her hand disappears almost immediately.
In the Red Writing is:
Selene Lilith Potter
Mother: Lillian Emily Potter (Nee Evans)
Father: James Charlus Potter
Titles: Lady Potter (Through Father), Lady Black (Through Paternal Grandmother), Lady Gryffindor (Through Father), Lady Slytherin (Through right of Conquest) Lady Hogwarts (Through Possession of two or more Founders bloodlines via Birth or Conquest)
Special Abilities: Animagus (Olympian Phoenix), Parseltongue, Commanding Presence.
Special Rights or Titles: Chief Witch of the Wizengamot (Through Father's Bloodline, Unavailable until coming of Age)
Above this is a Family Tree going back eight Generations.
Selene turns to Ripfang and asks "When do I come of age?"
"Seventeen" is Ripfang's reply
Selene's eyes bulge out at some of what is written in her blood, she then turns to the Golden writing, which says:
Selene Lio̱méno (Molten) Ntérti (Longing or Passion)
Mother: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.
Father: Hephaestus, God of the Forges.
Titles: Goddess of Fire (Sealed until coming of Age) Goddess of Blazing Passion (Sealed until coming of Age) Goddess of Magic (Sealed until coming of Age) Princess of Olympus, Heir to the Olympian Council.

Above this is a Divine family tree going all the way back to Lady Chaos.
In an amusing and never before seen reaction Selene, Ripfang and Terrorclaw faint from shock.
Olympus, Throne Room.
To say the gods were shocked would been an understatement, however before they could say anything Zeus spoke up "Well then, I'm quite happy that Selene is going to become a Goddess, is anyone opposed to this?" In amazing unison all of the gods shake their heads "Well then when she gets back we will start teaching Selene what she'll need to know to be a Goddess" The Gods all nod in agreement. Coincidently it starts to snow in the Fields of Punishment.
Gringotts
Selene eventually regains consciousness, Ripfang and Terrorclaw as well, she turns to them and says "While I don't mind my mortal titles being mentioned would you please keep the immortal titles silent for now?" The Goblins nod in agreement. "Now what must I do to gain my titles?"
Ripfang smiles, in a depression on the side of the altar Selene hadn't notice before were several rings, One with a Scarlet Griffin Rampant on a White Background on it, One with three ravens on a shield with crossed wands above them, One with a Golden Lion on a Scarlet background, One with a Silver Snake on an Emerald Green Background, the last with the emblem of Hogwarts on it. Selene put the Potter ring on her Right Index Finger and the Black on her Left Index Finger, the Gryffindor ring went on her right Middle finger, the Slytherin on her Right Ring finger and the Hogwarts Ring on her Left Middle Finger, the Rings resized themselves to fit and stay out of the way. Selene nods her head to Ripfang and makes her way out of Gringotts. After ducking into an alley she transforms herself into her Phoenix form and flashes to Olympus.
The next month sees Selene learning the particulars of becoming a Goddess from all of the gods, even Dionysus got involved (If only because he was told that his time at Camp Half-Blood would be over once Selene takes his place at camp for a Century, in order to pass her probation for becoming a Goddess)
A/N before you ask let me answer some of the more obvious questions.
Voldemort: While Selene is powerful she will fight Voldemort before she becomes a Goddess (Thus fulfilling the requirement for a prospective God or Goddess to do a Great Act). She won't steamroll over Voldemort, but neither will she be blown around like a twig. The Battle will be highly destructive and between equals, the only possible help she'll get from the Gods is them loaning her one of their Objects of Power. (I'm Thinking Poseidon's Trident as Selene will dive right into the PJO storyline after the battle and it will provide a reason for the Trident not being stolen as well. Has anyone else noticed that no reason was ever given for the Trident not being stolen as well?)
Goddess Titles and Why Selene has them: The way I see it, being the Daughter of Aphrodite guarantees a Title related to Passion or Love, Likewise being the Daughter of Hephaestus guarantees a title related to Fire or the forge. Finally While Hecate is the goddess of Witchcraft and Necromancy she is never named as the Goddess of Magic (Technically she is a Titan not a Goddess) and So Selene will get that role.
Percy and Omakes: I'm thinking of having Selene flirt with Percy during the PJO storyline to force Annabeth or Thalia to go head and admit they love him. But at one point I want to have an Omake where Percy agrees to a particularly sexual suggestion and Selene calls in Hermione for a Threesome, it would be hilarious to write. I may actually add it earlier if enough readers request it, maybe some others where she flirts with Draco, Daphne, Susan or Neville and something similar happens.

P.S I will be placing a poll up for which house you want Selene to be in. (Well more of a Test to see how many people vote for the house I'm planning on, but if more than 30% vote for another house it will be changed.
Also as a basic idea for a new story, what if during a round of intense beatings from Vernon after a Fem. Harry receives her Hogwarts letter she dies and comes back as a Banshee. It would be pretty Dark and there would be some gruesome parts. Anyone interested?
