-Chapter 7-
Sometime later the three meet up with Draco Malfoy and his two goons Crabbe and Goyle. The three boys launched numerous insults at them, but Harriet simply took Hermione's hand and turned to depart. As they did so Draco called after them, "That's right why don't you three witches run off now."
It is Harry who turns towards him and says, "I do not understand why your bigotry and vile must be hurled at myself and my friends, but your simple error in ability to denote sexual orientation is clearly a sign of a low intellect."
Draco moved closer and Harriett stared at him with a sweet smile on her face, "What will you do Draco Malfoy? You do not know many spells and physical violence will place you in detention or worse."
She stood her ground and he glared at her, "Wizards duel. I challenge you to a wizards duel at Midnight."
"I have no reason to accept your proposition. You are not worth my time or my effort. Good day to you sir." She turned and walked off with Neville and Hermione behind her while Draco stared at her retreating back and desperately wished something in the first year curriculum would allow him to curse her.
Her shadow, unbeknownst to her, had been ready to take over at any time. It had been ready to take over and rip the boy into tiny gibbets of flesh just like it had done to Vernon Dursley. Its rage was so great that she momentarily rubbed her scar and he had to retreat. So he did, back to the darkness and away from her with an eye out to see and watch. An eye that would always be entranced by the beauty of this girl he helped to create, his daughter in spirit if not in body. She finished rubbing her scar absently and opened a door whereupon the three students came face to face with a gigantic three headed black dog.
She blinked at the creature as it rushed towards them and then quickly slammed the door. "Okay apparently I have taken a wrong turn."
Hermione and Neville agreed and the three departed the area post haste. At the same time Albus Dumbledore was not a happy man. Harriett Potter was a genius and a whiz in her classes. True many Ravenclaws were scoring near the same level Harriett was and Hermione Granger was as well, but she was something more. Her transfigurations were beyond perfect and her spells went far beyond the current curriculum for her year. The only problem was the test and confrontation. How was he ever going to get her to confront Quirrel?
He pondered the idea for some time and finally hatched a plan. Said plan began to sprout on Halloween when young Potter and Granger were the unfortunate recipients of a bladder engorgement potion and so ended up in the Girl's bathrooms together for some time while the annual Halloween party was ongoing.
Harriett sighed as her bladder finally became the right size. "You know Hermione as much as Ron Weasley and his brothers like these pranks I do believe we should retaliate in some fashion."
Hermione replied, "No it will just escalate into some sort of prank war. We'd never hear the end of it."
"You're right, perhaps if we do not act much inconvenienced or embarrassed we will be left alone. Even so I may have to find something fun that will not implicate us in any way."
Hermione finished and stepped to the sink where she found Harriet washing and said, "Well if you do think of something brilliant let…"
The rest of her statement was drowned out as a gigantic troll smashed through the door and loomed over them. It raised its club and the two girls retreated away just in time. It raised its club again and Harriett had changed. Her wand was held in her grasp and an evil sneer was on her face. The wand pointed and she said, "Langolier"
With that small balls of teeth shot from her wand and began to devour the troll. It screamed in pain and horror as it was slowly erased from existence. Hermione stared at her friend in muted horror and the girl said, "I would kill you for seeing this, but she cares for you. So…Obliviate"
The spell struck and Hermione shook her head. She was still standing there and her friend had her wand out pointing where the troll had been, but it was gone. She blinked, looked to Harriett and said, "Harry how did you do that?"
The green eyed girl looked back at her and said, "I'm not exactly sure. One moment I was pointing my wand and the next it was gone."
Hermione nodded slowly unsure what to say as Harriett Potter looked at her shadow a moment and said, "Thank you, I don't think I could have handled that on my own."
Hermione responded by saying, "Well you're welcome, but it certainly seemed like you handled it on your own. After all who else was in here with us?"
Harriett looked at her and said, "Right just you me and my shadow."
With that she took Hermione's hand and the two walked out of the bathroom and towards the Halloween Celebration. Unfortunately the celebration had been cancelled due to a troll that Quirrel said he had found in the dungeons. A search of the grounds found no troll and everyone went their way making comments about that wacky Quirrel and his vivid imagination.
-Chapter 8-
Time passed as it inevitably does. Harriett and Hermione became close friends and Neville became something of a third party. The other Gryffindors were quite friendly as well if perhaps a bit less into studying than those three. Indeed even Neville was not as into the books as Hermione and Harriett.
By the time winter break came young Harriett said she would be staying at the castle, but Hermione requested that she visit her house for at least a few days. The green eyed girl absolutely could not refuse and so enjoyed some time at the Granger residence.
Hermione's parents were overjoyed to have the other girl in their house and were warm and pleasant when she arrived.
It was the next morning at breakfast that they were utterly stunned as they walked into their kitchen to find the young Potter girl humming to herself as she prepared a small breakfast feast. Batter poured itself onto a skillet, bacon flipped itself into a plate with paper towels on its own, juice cups filled themselves, and the coffee maker dinged.
The green eyed girl looked up to them as the older Grangers walked in and simply began setting the table while the food seemed to magically prepare itself. It was Hermione's mother who spoke first saying, "Harry dear, you didn't have to go through all this trouble for us."
"Oh, but I do this at home all the time. It's expected of me and I thought you might like it." Her voice was light and her mind was far off in a happy daze.
The two adults looked at each other as she finished setting the table and had their breakfast float itself onto the plates. It was Mr. Granger who finally called up, "Hermione could you come down here!"
The bushy haired girl rushed down the steps to see her friend preparing breakfast magically without a wand. Her eyes bugged out and without thought she said, "Holy shit!"
"Language young lady!" Her mother scolded.
Everything finished placing itself at the table and Harriett stood there smiling with a happy glaze in her eyes. "Mum, it's just that what she just did isn't supposed to be possible without a wand. I mean not unless you're much older and really powerful. I just…well its amazing!"
Harriett sat at the table and the glaze seemed to wash away and she looked at the others saying, "Won't you join me?"
Mr. Granger sat down and said, "Uh...of course where are my manners. Thank you young lady for the lovely breakfast. If I might request that you allow us to prepare any other meals while you are here? It really is our place as hosts to do so you know."
The green eyed girl nodded and said, "Of course sir, I will of course do as you prefer."
Mrs. Granger took a bite of the perfectly fluffy pancake and savored its delicate sweetness. She looked to her husband a moment as if to ask him if he was sure he didn't want to have such a marvelous feast again, but realized that it would just be taking advantage of a kind eleven year old girl.
Hermione loved the meal, but couldn't help herself and so asked, "How did you do that Harry?"
"Oh my aunt and cousin have had me making food and cleaning house for them ever since I can remember. My uncle too when he was alive."
The simple way she stated her lot in life and her almost cheerful acceptance nearly broke the adult Granger's hearts. Oh they had heard she was an orphan and some about an unhappy home life, but to see it in front of them and so bald faced was the final nail in the coffin. It was Mrs. Granger who said, "You know Harry we'd be more than happy if you stayed with us for the entire winter break if you like."
"I can?" She beamed, "That's so very kind Hermione has been my absolute best friend in Hogwarts and maybe ever. Staying with you and her will be the best holiday ever."
He watched her from his vantage point. The holiday brought her more joy and happiness than he had ever seen in her and the vibrant feelings washed over him. Then she hugged Hermione after receiving a present the two girls embraced and it was sheer painful bliss.
Harry felt the same and wondered just what it all meant. She loved her friend Hermione like a sister? Or was there something else. She wasn't really sure, so she dropped the thoughts and simply enjoyed the experience and time with her friend.
Later in the day Hermione sat on her bed across from the girl and said, "So according to all the magical theory books I have read what you just did today isn't possible unless you are an adult wizard with long, long years of practice and even then it's not common."
Harriett nodded and said, "I read the same thing, but you know when I was younger I never read those books. I just experimented with the world around me and noted that I could change it to make myself happy or do what I needed done. No one ever told me I couldn't make my chores easier with magic and no one told me I couldn't transfigure things if that's what I wanted. Most important here is no one told me I would need a wand."
Hermione looked at her friend and said, "So you're saying it's only impossible because everyone thinks it is or something?"
Harry shrugged and said, "Well I certainly can't cast most spells without a wand. I know I've tried, but levitation and transfiguration well I just do them and when I add the wand it's hardly any different at all."
"Well transfiguration has no incantations or words. We just point our wands and imagine what we need to make. Then Levitation has an incantation, but we mentally control it after that first incantation."
"Yes, I see Hermione. You are hypothesizing that due to the mental control aspect both things may need less wand waving and require more effort of will right?"
Hermione nodded and said, "Exactly and the best way to experiment is to have me try and replicate your results. If I can do it our hypothesis will be supported by evidence and if not, then we will find a new one."
The experiment began and it soon turned out that Hermione could levitate small objects and transfigure small items without her wand. It wasn't quite up to Harriett's level, but the green eyed girl had been doing it for years whereas Hermione had only a few days.
-Chapter 9-
She lowered herself onto him and presented her nipples for his delight. He pulled on them and then simply sat back to watch watched as she worked herself up and down his shaft and yet he was not happy. The little one, her green eyes mocked him and her small body begged him to use it. He thought about poly juice for a moment, but it just wouldn't be the same. He sneered at the green eyed mother and said, "Enjoy yourself more, cum three times and keep going."
The woman shuddered with unwanted pleasure and continued to work on him. Oh she was his, but it wasn't enough anymore. The dark lord was out there in Quirrel, but he was a fool. Somehow his great lord had become a simpering shadow of his former glory and it just wouldn't do.
Perhaps he could defeat two birds with one stone. Give the brat bits of information or arrange for her to hear them and then catch her out if she followed the bits and was out of bounds. Oh yes, he fantasized about her small bottom in white panties begging him to stop, pleading with him. "Ohhh yessss!" he cried out as the mother finished her task above him, then brought her mouth down and licked him clean.
Someday he would have them both in here. He just knew it….
-Chapter 10-
Shadow watched as she passed by Ronald Weasley and Dean Thomas the two boys had the Daily Prophet and were apparently discussing something odd about it. She stopped and looked to the boys, "What's strange Ron?"
The red haired boy looked at her and said, "Well Dean and I saw this issue just sitting here but Dean swears he remembers it just saying 'Robbery at Gringott's and well I might not have read that issue, but the comics in the back are different too."
She paused and crinkled her nose up in thought, "Well let me take a look and then we can go to the library and find the back issue to see."
The read haired boy handed it to her and said, "Here you can have it."
He departed and Dean just gave her a shrug. She sighed and said to herself, "Well I'll just go find Hermione then. Silly boys interested in a mystery, but not the means to solve it. Seriously there's more to courage and bravery than standing up to bad things you know."
With that she walked off to find Hermione. Soon after the two witches were examining the two papers and noting the slight differences. Hermione said, "Maybe this one is a special extended edition or late edition and the Library only gets the first issue of the day?"
Harriett nodded and said, "It is possible I suppose and it might be somewhat spectacular to note that instead of 'Robbery at Gringott's' we have 'Attempted theft of the Philosopher's stone', but the comics are different too."
"I know, maybe someone switched issues or jumbled them together or something?"
The green eyed girl nodded and said, "Possible, but why would anyone want to steal the Philosophers Stone and does this strange paper have to do with it?"
Hermione smiled and said, "Well it says here that Nicholas Flamel was storing it there. Why don't we look him up?"
Harriett nodded and the two girls spent some time perusing the stacks for a Nicholas Flamel. It took some time, but finally Harriett came back to the table and said, "Here he is in 'Alchemical secrets of the past' and it even details more on the stone."
"Oh let's take a look." With that the two girls perused the paged Harriett had found while a disillusioned Snape watched with a small smile on his face hoping they would do something foolish, but he was disappointed when they simply put the books away and returned to their dorm on time.
It was some days later in their dorm and the two girls had been spending most of their time on school and studies. Still they managed recreation in the form of spending time in the library with advanced texts and discussing magical theory. They tried to get some of the other girls and Gryffindor students to join in, but they were often too busy with their own assignments or other things that they found to be fun.
Then came a day when Harriett looked to Hermione who was studying and said, "You know it strikes me as odd that Cerberi are only used to guard things and that according to Sythe's treatise on trolls they smell in a certain way that makes Cerberi run away."
Hermione cocked her head and said, "Cerberi?"
Harriett nodded and said, "Octopus is Octopi, so Cerberus must be Cerberi."
"I'll have to look it up in a magical dictionary later, but it does seem to fit the rule. Of course if it is guarding something, then what do you think it could be?"
Hermione sniffed out and said, "But what does that have to…oh,' her eyes widened and she added, "Still where is the logic train here?"
"Well, if you had time the other day you could have seen the illegal dragon Hagrid is keeping in his shed. I myself was going to put it off, but Neville wanted to see and he's afraid of the man so I went to keep him company."
Hermione looked at her friend and knew that while her statement had been pure truth, it was also not the complete truth. But, she let her get away with it and said, "So you saw the dragon and then what?"
"Well I told him he'd have to send it away before he was in trouble and he explained that he had gotten it in some place or other from a man he had beaten at cards and of course he told the man about the creature's weaknesses."
Harriett finished and Hermione looked at her and said, "Okay, so we have the Cerberus, this dragon of Hagrid's and some shady character who was asking him about it. We add that with the fact that we know someone stole the Philosopher's stone and…."
Hermione paused in thought and then said, "You think the stone is here being guarded by the dog."
Harriett laughed and said, "Well it's only a hypothesis, but it seems to me that while somewhat large and intimidating Hagrid does know some, perhaps all of the information and he did spill it to the boys while they we visiting."
Hermione nodded and said, "You think we should ask him right?"
"Well that and remove the dragon from his possession in some manner. I don't want the man to get into trouble, but owning one is illegal you know." Harriett's eyes sparkled with a strange mix of deviousness and the want to bring about the best possible outcome.
Hermione looked at her and said, "All right, so what is the plan."
Harriett looked back and said, "Well remember that cloak I got for Christmas?"
"Oh no Harriett you're not going to look in that silly mirror again are you? You had nightmares for weeks and all I saw was being Head Girl and holding perfect scores on all my exams."
"No, no. I still don't know why half the mirror showed me happy with my parents while the other half seemed to show corpses and blood of so many people while I stood atop them on a gleaming throne." He slunk back at that knowing that it had been his dream that caused her so much distress. He wanted her safe, and to do that he would kill everyone who stood in his way. Corpses would pile up and she would rule on high her radiance and love a soothing salve for everyone.
Hermione shrugged and said, "Well supposedly it's what you desire so you're secretly a megalomaniacal ruler of the world."
Harriett tossed her hair back and said, "Well I promise to rule only with love and justice. No bleeding corpses thank you."
Hermione pulled a face and said, "But mistress, we must present you with brains to fully laud your accomplishments."
Harriett threw a pillow at her friend and the two wrestled around like the young eleven year olds they were. After about fifteen or so minutes tired and out of breath Hermione panted and said, "So about that plan?"
Harriett's eyes lit up and she said, "Well I was thinking about some cosmic justice. Do you remember that practical joke the twins and Ron played on us? I know the perfect way to get them back and place the blame on someone else. Like that ponce Draco Malfoy."
Hermione liked the idea and said, "Well he did play that awful prank on Neville. I say we do it."
Harry smiled and said, "Great and while we're at it we can help Hagrid with his dragon problem."
-Chapter 11-
It started with a simple trip and Draco Malfoy slammed into Ron Weasley. The two boys began to bicker and fight and then Draco turned to stomp off when he tripped on something and his book bag fell to the floor. Once on the ground the flap opened and a tiny little dragon trotted out and proceeded to begin chewing on his hair. Draco shrieked like a little girl and ran, only to once again knock into Ron Weasley who also fell down and found that and found that the tiny dragon was just as interested in eating his hair. The two boys fumbled like mad in their attempts to escape and were only prevented from doing so as Fred and George Weasley happened into the corridor and both landed on their behinds as well.
By this time the little dragon though it was all some fun game and began chomping at bits of clothes and hair, pretty much anything he could get at. The excitement lasted another five minutes before
Headmaster Dumbledore came to the area, picked up the small dragon and said,"Well I don't know who you belong to, but we must send you to an appropriate reserve."
He then looked at the four people sliding around and crashing into each other and said, "As for you four, I believe that is quite enough of this little prank." He waved his wand said a few words and all four boys were standing again.
With that he walked off leaving the three Weasley boys Draco without much in the way of hair, pants or dignity. He passed down a hall and looked at what would normally be an empty spot and said, "Well that was such a strange instance of nearly karmic retribution. I'm sure it won't happen again." His eye twinkled and then he walked away."
The two girls under an invisibility cloak looked at each other with trepidation and then four boys walked past with chewed hair and pants and they had to hold their mouths to stop laughing. By the time they got back to their dorms and became visible again Hermione said, "Harry potter, you are evil and I should never have any part in these things."
Harriett shrugged and smiled, "We gave it the anti flame potion so no one was burned. Besides we were both ready with wands out if it did anything more than chew hair or pants. It might be possible that transfiguring the top layer of air on the floor into grease was a bit much, but you have to admit it was funny."
Hermione laughed and said, "Yes, well I'll give you that and our intentions were mostly noble."
Harriet smiled and gave her an innocent look saying, "Mostly?"
Hermione laughed again and threw a pillow. He watched from his perch smiling at the two girls. He had seen the entire thing and it had been pulled off to perfection. No real harm had come to any of the students and some scales had been balanced, yet no one other than Hermione knew that Harriett had done it. Most important to his mind his little girl hadn't tarnished her glow in any way by doing it. He wondered at that for a moment, but really couldn't figure it out. Still, it worried him that she might choose to stray to darkness, but he decided that even if she did he would still feel the same for her, but he would miss her glow. Her painful and yet beautiful glow that represented so much of things that he was not…
-Chapter 12-
Hermione smiled at her friend and said, "So exams are complete and the year is almost over, but we never did figure out if your hypothesis was correct and how to test it. Plus of course we have no promising suspects as to who might steal the stone or why."
Harriett said, "Well I was remembering the troll, maybe the smell thing just didn't work out so well when they realized that a giant smelly beast wasn't just going to go after a Cerberi."
Hermione nodded and said, 'Well Hagrid wasn't any help though right?"
"No, after I confiscated his Dragon and told him I was bringing it to Dumbledore, but wouldn't implicate him in any way…" she shrugged, "Well he only recently forgave me for that and it took an entire plate of cookies."
"Only you would find your way to cook and apology Harry."
Harriett just smiled and said, "I like cooking especially now. It's like potions, but without a creepy guy staring at you all the time."
"He does spend quite a bit of time staring at…" Hermione stopped and then said, "Oh no you think it's Snape don't you?"
Harriett nodded and said, "just a theory, but he has been so skeevy and that newspaper was close to Quirrel's office, but the potions puzzle was corrected from the original. I'm not sure why he was there with it, but I think it's him."
"Well the best thing to do is tell the Headmaster and see what he thinks about all of this. Personally it would never be enough to convict anyone in a court of law."
Neville happened to walk in the room and said, "What about a court of law?"
Hermione sighed and began to explain the situation to the other young Gryffindor. When she finished he agreed they should go see the headmaster immediately. Then Harriett took Hermione and Neville's hands and pulled them along to the Headmaster where they found Snape standing. The man stared down his nose at them and said, "Can I help you?"
"Just looking for the headmaster sir?"
"Well Miss Granger he isn't here and will not be returning until much later this evening."
Hermione nodded and the two girls left post haste. As they left Snape's eyes spent far longer lingering on one young girl's rear than would ever be appropriate for a man his age. Once out of earshot the green eyed girl said, "He is such a strange creep."
"I know, but who do we talk to next?"
Harriett though about it and said, "McGonagall I think, then Flitwick or one of the others."
"Right." Hermione took the lead, but neither professor was in. The two girls huffed with some exasperation and then Harriett led them to the door where the Cerberus was. It was standing open and the giant three headed dog was asleep.
Neville looked at the situation and said, "I'm not sure we should be here. I think we should go."
Harriett looked at him and said, "Well I'm going in to stop a thief and no one else is around to help at the moment except other kids like us. I don't want to get them in trouble or hurt or either of you two. So, you can both get me some help if you can find it. I'm going in."
Hermione shook her head and said, "I don't know why I let you lead me here Harry, but I think we'd best look into this."
Neville nodded and said, "Fine, I'll go find help. You're going to need a teacher or an adult and if I go no one will know where you went."
This time it was Harriett's turn to say, "Right." With that the two girls carefully bypassed the giant dog and went down some stairs shutting the trap door behind them. Once down the stairs they were grabbed by vines, but being well read students they simply relaxed.
After that they encountered a room of keys, but this one was bypassed by Hermione who looked at her friend and said, "Acio Key with one wing!"
The spell worked for the Granger girl as well as it had for Harriett and since the two were already at the exit a simple turn of the key allowed them out before the rest of the keys even began to attack. After that they faced a giant chess set, but Harriett simply transfigured the board into mud and they were able to move much quicker than the large pieces.
Confronted by the flames and potions at the end the green eyed girl looked at her friend and said, "We each drink half and then go through with a chilling charm. That should work and it's mostly smoke that kills you not fire."
"Yes, I've read that as well, but it's a bit less convincing in person." Hermione replied, but took the potion in hand anyway.
A drink later and the young girls were in the inner chamber looking at professor Quirrel. It was Harriett who said, "Well I guess part of my theory was wrong."
Quirrel turned towards her and with a silent gesture pulled both girls to him where they landed face first on the floor. "Well I can't seem to get what I want. What do you see in the mirror?"
The green eyed girl wasn't looking and Hermione said, "I'm Head Girl and I've passed all my tests with perfect grades. Why are you doing this Mr. Quirrel?"
"Why, I'll show you why." He turned and pulled off his turban. There was another face on the back of his head and it said, "Look in the mirror Potter or the other girl dies!"
His wand pointed and Harriett opened her eyes. The first sight was of him and then she lost consciousness. He came to the front, her shadow sneered at the other and said, "Poor choice of host, poor choice of everything really and now you must die."
Quirrel began to cast, "Avada Kedav…" But, shadow was faster than that. He quickly elongated her nails to dagger sized razor sharp points and thrust them directly into Quirrel's heart. The spell went unfinished on Quirrel's lips and the other part of Voldemort screamed in defiance as his host body died and mentally grappled with the other part of his soul. But, Harriett's shadow was more powerful, more driven by its need to protect her at all costs and the other bit of Voldemort was more concerned about his own life. He fled from her shadow and Quirrel dropped to the floor.
By this point Hermione was staring at her friend in shock, "Harry oh my god! Look what you did!"
Quirrel's body was already disintegrating and Shadow only had enough power to reduce the knife like nails and whisper, "Obliviate..." before he passed out and Harriett came back to herself.
The young green haired girl stared at the dust that remained of Quirrel and shuddered wondering just what she had done. She looked to Hermione, but the bushy haired girl was obviously out of it as well. Then a voice spoke from across the room, "Well well Ms. Potter I believe it may be against school policy to kill a professor. 100 points from Gryffindor and you will be serving detention with me."
"But he attacked me and he was trying to steal the stone. I had to stop you...er him. I didn't mean to kill him." She babbled out as her mind ran in circles trying to figure out what happened and why. Danger had yet again threatened her and she had blacked out. It was more than disconcerting and yet in some way she felt comforted as well.
Snape just walked closer to the girl his eyes staring at hers and his mind imagining all the things he would do to her. "Oh no daughter of James Potter, I think not. I think you will be serving detention with me for what you have done."
His hand reached out and touched her shoulder, "Come along and you as well Ms. Granger. Time to cease this foray out of bounds and be going back to your dorm rooms."
His hand was cold on her shoulder and a finger seemed to squirm like a worm on her neck. She followed along with him leading and watched as Hermione was sent into the common room. After that she walked with him towards his office in a silent horror.
The only thing that saved her was Albus Dumbledore. The old man stepped quickly down the hallway and said, "Ah Severus, I see you have Ms. Potter and are taking her to the infirmary."
Snape stared at the other man and with clear resignation in his voice said, "Yes, of course sir. She was injured when she went out of bounds and I believe she may have killed professor Quirrel possibly by accident, but still such things require discipline…"
Dumbledore cut him off saying, "I am well aware of what Ms. Potter has done today. She has done her mother proud and helped to stop Voldemort once again."
Snape looked clearly disgusted and said, "Of course sir. Little miss heroine once again saves the Wizarding world." He let go of Harriett's arm and added, "Well since you are here you can escort her to the infirmary."
Once there Harriett was simply diagnosed as exhausting her magical core and was given a sleeping draught. When she woke up Dumbledore was there again. She smiled lightly up at him and said, "Sir do you know what happened?"
"You will find that there is much here that I know about Harry. In this case, yes I know you faced down Voldemort once again. I believe he perished because of your father's love. He sacrificed his life for you and that is was I think saved you the first time and the other day. Voldemort could not understand the power of such love."
He stared at his nemesis and mentally mocked him. Knowing that it wasn't her father's love that saved Harriett, but his protection, his desire to see her live and thrive. It wasn't love it was…was…ambition for the girl who he had begun to think of as his daughter. It was great ambition for her and nothing else.
As her Shadow lied to himself Harriett said, "What about the stone sir?"
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Still protected in the mirror. I think, however, it should be destroyed."
The green eyed girl looked at Dumbledore and said, "Well I hope you ask Mr. Flamel first. After all it's his stone and he might object if you destroy it without permission."
Dumbledore's eye twinkled as he chuckled, "Of course Harry. Now I do believe someone wants to see you."
With that the old wizard walked to the door and opened it. Hermione dashed through and enveloped Harriett in a big hug, "Oh you're all right. I have no idea what happened to us in there, but I'm so glad you're all right."
Harriett laughed and hugged back saying, "Good and I'm glad for you as well. The next time we have an adventure we shall have to be more prepared."
"Adventure, oh no, Harriett Potter if you think you're dragging me along with you again you must be out of your mind." Hermione scolded, but she had a smile on her face.
Harriett just looked at her friend and said, "Well you never know what the future might bring."
A few days later at the end of year feast Slytherin ended up winning the house cup. Harriett and the rest of her year mates swore to themselves that they would win it next year. Then they all piled into the train and departed.
As they left Hermione hugged her friend again and said, "Now remember you promised to come over when you can and don't forget to write. Also, remember that my family already replied to my Owl and said they would be happy to have you for a couple weeks before school begins."
Harriett laughed and said, "I know, I know you've told me three times. I won't forget Hermione I promise."
With that the two witches went their separate ways. Harriett's summer at home was filled with her strange despondent happiness when making meals and cleaning. But, it was brightened whenever she called Hermione on the phone or went over.
-Epilogue-
He smiled at her back as he slammed into her from behind. She was wearing an old Hogwarts student robe and had her white panties pulled down. Her bottom was red and sore from a paddling and he was enjoying himself as she begged, "Oh Professor, please stop….please…oh it hurts!"
"Yes, that's right it's terribly painful for you and yet pleasurable too. You can't handle too much more or you'll explode." He kept going delighting in the fantasy until it was over.
He finished in her and then lay on the bed as she cried with the shame and terror he had told her to feel. He pulled her close and she couldn't resist him as he said, "Just think someday soon you can do this with me and your daughter. Won't that be grand? Hmm, I wonder if Lucious still has that Diary. It will surely be a helpful device…"
End Book I
Author's Notes: Harriett's Shadow is somewhat OC, but he has evolved from the monster he used to be into a new monster. He's still a pycopathic monster willing to commit any atrocity to get what he wants, it's just that instead of wanting to rule teh Wizarding World he wants to keep this girl he thinks of as his daughter alive and fufill his ambitions for her (most likely ruling the Wizarding World too...) In any case in TVtropes land Harriett acts as his Morality pet.
In any case, because I enjoyed this first foray into HP Fan fiction there is a high likelihood that I'll keep writing this with each year being One or two FF net chapters. The most likely matchup is Harriett/Hermione with Harriett/Neville and Hermione/Ron coming in at a distant second. I hope you enjoyed it.
