Chapter Three: Shocking news and GIFTS!
"SIRIUS!" both Hermione and Harry yelled.
"Hey you two. What's up?" Sirius said. He was looking good. He was clean shaven and he cut his hair. He was also wearing muggle clothes, jeans and a t-shirt. Harry was in tears. So was Hermione, she recovered first however.
"What do you mean what's up! HOW ARE YOU HERE?" She said.
"Well that's a long story so I will tell it to you soon enough." He said then turned to the woman next to him. Hermione and Harry hadn't noticed her when they first walked in. Not only that but Fudge seemed to be lurking in the corner. The woman stood up and held out her hand.
"Hi I'm Alicia. I'm his wife." She said this nodding ay Sirius. They both just stared at her and shook her hand in a daze. She was beautiful. She had light blonde hair that was layer and it went to her shoulders. She spoke in a light American accent. You could tell she was British but had been living in America for a while. She had a slight tan and she wore muggle clothes. She had on a pair of dark jeans and a black spaghetti strap shirt on under a black jumper. She didn't wear much make up but she did have a lot of earrings. She also wore a pair of black combat boots. She had a firm grip.
"If you two don't close your mouths soon, you'll attract the flies." Remus said. They both closed their mouths.
"Well now that we cleared that up, I thought I would give you your OWL results while we wait for our remaining two guests." Dumbledore said as he handed them their results. "I would also like to take this time to say congratulations Harry." Harry looked confused. "Harry, you have gotten the highest Defense against the dark arts grade since the tests were created. And Hermione you are second to him." Dumbledore just sat there and twinkled looking at their shocked faces.
They were interrupted by a large crashing noise.
"It seems are guests have arrived." Dumbledore said chuckling. Sirius put his head in his hands.
"Can those two go anywhere without breaking something?" Remus said.
"I don't think so." Alicia said.
"Of course not Remus, look whose kids they are." Severus said.
"Ah yes. Good point Severus." Remus said. Sirius was shaking his head in his hands. He looked like he was on edge. Then they heard talking in the hall.
"DAMIEN! GET OFF ME!" Another American accent, but this one sounded like a true American girl. Then a very British guy answered. "Oh shut it Alex. You're such a wimp. Come on they're waiting."
"I am not a wimp. The only wimp here is you." The girl said.
"OW!"
"See I barely hit you." The walked in and Hermione and Harry's mouth's hit the floor.
"Malfoy!" Hermione said. "Since when do you were glasses?"
"Hello to you too." Malfoy replied. Sirius stood up and the girl ran up to him. Harry thought Hermione gave Jason a big hug, this hug was like super, humongous, gigantic, just massive. They spun. Harry and Hermione just stared wide eyed. Everyone else looked amused, Fudge looked sick.
"Don't make me go back. Please." The girl said.
"No, never. Never ever. You're going to come home to where you belong. Ok?" He said.
"Ok as long as I get first dibs on that bastard I never called dad." She smiled.
"Don't worry about that. But don't forget, you do have to share." They both laughed. Sirius looked at Draco. "You're mad at me aren't you? Let me guess, you want an explanation and you'll never speak to me again?"
"Actually, yeah. I was thinking more along the lines of…well you said it really."
"Wow. I know I was thinking more along the lines of father/children day out and an explanation. Oh well, guess I deserve it."
"If you will sit down we can start." Fudge said. They sat. "Good. Now they first reason we are all here is to clear up some misunderstandings." At this he glanced at Sirius.
"Ok first of all, Sirius Vincent Black, you are a free man. After your misplacement at the department of mysteries last summer it is clear to the ministry that you are an innocent man. Next, Sirius Vincent Black and Alicia Margaret Malfoy, the ministry now sees your marriage as legal. As for your children, Draco William Malfoy and Meghan Elisa Riddle, you will now be recognized by your real heritage and names, Damien Griffin Black and Alexandra Shana Black. Also your god parents shall be acknowledged as well, Damien Griffin Black your Godfather Remus Daigh Lupin, do you agree." Lupin nodded. "Now Alexandra Shana Black your god father Severus Jeremy Snape, do you agree." Everyone looked at Snape, he nodded. "Very well. Everything in my part is taken care of as we agreed Dumbledore."
"Yes Alexandra, Damien the rest is on you."
"Right. Ok I'm Meghan…Alexandra…sorry still getting used to that. Well first of all this is going to be hard to grasp at first…"
"…You two are vampire Slayers…" Draco said. Alexandra continued.
"…This is the first time that there has ever been two slayers at the same time…" Draco looked very bored.
"…We are your watchers"
"…We are here to train you for what is to come…"
"…We are the one who are going to help you do everything you'll need to do and we will practically running your lives for the next few weeks…"
"…That's why you had to come here so early…'
"…We will be training in a special area away from the rest of the school…"
"…We're going to be sleeping there too…"
"…For the whole year…"
"…It's so that we can train without interruptions and so you can go out to do your duty without any skeptic people on your cases…"
"…People won't really be able to grasp this calling…"
"…They don't really get it…"
"…You have to keep this as secret as possible…"
"…Or else it could be used against you…"
"…That's where this book comes in." They said this simultaneously. Draco handed them a book, a very old book. Alexandra started again
"…We mentioned that your guy's case was weird…"
"…So is ours…"
"…Not only are you both Slayers and we're your watchers but…
"…We are both sets of twins." Draco stopped. Harry and Hermione stared at them. Draco started again.
"…We are a set and…"
"…you two are a set…"
"…Your parents were James Anthony Potter and…"
"…Lillian Michelle Evens…"
"…Hermione Estelle Granger you are really…"
"…Bethanie Madison Potter…"
"…and your godfather is Severus Jeremy Snape as well as Alex…" Both Harry and Hermione were shocked. Not only that they were twins but that Snape was Hermione's godfather. Then Alex started to talk again.
"…This is where we give you your powers…"
"…Give us your hands…"
"We promise to protect the Chosen ones with our life. We will train them against the forces of darkness." They both were speaking. Then Draco said,
"Normally this would go on to say…In every generation a slayer is born, one girl in all the world chosen to fight against the forces of evil…blah, blah, blah…"
"…But since not only are there TWO of you but Harry is quite obviously a guy…"
"…exactly. We are both here because we were chosen by the powers-that-be…"
"…Those are the guy's who chose who the slayers are and gave me the stupid visions I have…"
"…Alex…"
"…sorry…"
"…Usually the Watchers council chooses who watches the new slayers…"
"…But apparently the PTB decided for them this time…"
"… So here we are and I think we covered everything, Mum?" Draco finished turning to Alicia.
"I think you covered everything that my watcher covered with me at first."
"YOU WERE THE SLAYER! But how…if we…and you…and…how?" Hermione stammered
"I died a new slayer was called and she must have died. I came back shortly after my death…about 2 hours, right Remus?"
"How the hell was I supposed to know? You were chasing me…and how many times do I have to say that I AM SORRY…god…"
"……"Hermione was speechless. Harry just sat there. Blank.
"Well I think we've put enough onto this pile. So why don't you two show Harry and Bethanie to your rooms." Dumbledore chuckled. He was going to have to get used to these changes. Just then Fudge spoke up.
"Miss Riddle…" He got a glare from all the males in the room except Dumbledore and Harry. "Miss Black…May I see your wrist bracelet? I just need to double check that you have not done anything to it." Alex rolled up her sleeve and showed the minister her wrist. Hermione thought the 'bracelet' looked more like a necklace rapped around her wrist twice, but she said nothing. The bracelet was a simple silver chain-link with a cube on it. "You remember our agreement, right?"
"Yes, I am to stay on Hogwarts grounds except on Hogsmead trips during the school year or otherwise with Dumbledore's permission. I am not to study anything regarding the dark arts except for subjects concerning my classes. I am not to magically duel anyone unless it is for a class. I am not to send letters or communicate with anyone outside of Hogwarts with a designated adult. If I am to do any of this…" She was talking in monotone then Fudge interrupted her.
"You will be sent right back to Azkaban with your sentence lengthened." Fudge finished. Sirius shivered. Alex nodded. Harry and Hermione seemed to be permanently confused.
The four walked out and Dumbledore turned to the group.
"Well this has been a very eventful day."
"I can't believe that I have those two for godchildren…" Severus mumbled.
"Oh come on Severus it isn't that bad." Remus chuckled.
"Yeah you have Draco…Damien. He isn't that bad. I've got the book-worm and the accident prone child." Severus said plopping into a newly made chair. Alicia laughed.
"Oh god Severus. Lighten up. Have you been like this since I left?" She asked.
"Yes he has. Moody, dark, and an evil git, oh and greasier then normal." Remus snickered.
"Yeah he lost Lily, then you left and well there wasn't anyone left who was ever nice to him." Sirius said.
"Well you never even made an effort to be nice." Severus said.
"Well while you lost your friends, I lost everything. I lost not only friends but my wife, my kids who haven't even entirely forgiven me yet, I know Alex may look like she has but she went through so much that I don't even think she has entirely grasped the fact that she isn't going back. And Damien, he doesn't even want to because of that bastard Malfoy. I even lost my freedom because of that traitor. So don't even start with me, I have a lot to take in." Sirius said putting his head in his hands again. Alicia rubbed circles on his back.
"Well we all have a lot of information to retain so I think you should get back to your homes. We all still have to get used to calling Draco and Hermione by their real names. So off you go and thank you Minister for coming today to clear all this up." Dumbledore said shaking hands with Fudge. Fudge looked really pissed.
"Ok now I'm going to tell you this before we get to the room…guess what the best part is." Alex said looking very excited, Draco groaned.
"What?" Hermione asked. Draco just shook his head.
"We are right by the kitchens! They are right down the hall. Isn't that awesome?"
"She is addicted to food. Simple as that." Draco said. Alex was pissed.
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here! Plus at least I'm addicted to something good not like you…he's addicted…" Draco covered her mouth before she could say what.
"Wow…look at that…we're here!" Draco said nervously.
They walked up to a portrait of two dragons, a blue one and a pink one. The weird think about this portrait was it didn't move. The dragons looked like they could either be dancing or wrestling.
"The password is dusting…we didn't pick it either so don't give me that look." Draco said. Draco said the password and the dragons moved to form an archway. Alexandra and Draco went in and Hermione and Harry just followed unable to say a word. They walked into a huge common room. It was about as big as the Gryffindor common room. It was all black, silver and purple. It had leather chairs and the carpet was black. The coffee table was dark wood. The walls were a really dark shade of purple and the trim was silver. There were two doorways in the room besides the one the came through.
"Hey D! How 'bout we split up to show them the stuff? I'll take Harry." Alex said. Draco just nodded. So they split up, Draco with Hermione to the right and Alex and Harry to the left.
"Ok Harry, I'm going to be your trainer seeing as Damien is to chicken. He knows how powerful you are and…" Alex stopped short.
"And what? Wait I'm powerful? He's scarred of me?" Harry asked.
"Well he told me about you guy's…everything about how you hate each other and everything…" Alex said. Harry gave her a look and see continued. "Well he never hated you guy's. Never. Except when you made him mad of course…like in your second year when you snuck into Slytherin common's as someone else…opps…well you weren't supposed to know that he knew that…if you want to know he didn't figure it out for a few months." She said this grinning. Harry starred at her. He realized he's been doing a lot of starring today.
"Well I guess I should show you around now…well this first room is a meeting room." They walked into the room. It had a circular table in the middle of it. Around the edge were some more tables but these were different, these tables had maps, holographic maps. The maps were of Hogwarts and the forbidden forest. It looked like something from an American spy movie.
"Well the maps show everything that is going on in the school, the forest and Hogsmead too." Alex said. "We have this room set up so we can see if you guys get in trouble while you're on patrol and if anything tries to attack the school." Harry just nodded.
'They are like the marauders map. The dots move around and show who they are, except…wow…it shows what they're doing too…cool…' Harry thought.
Meghan moved out the door and up the corridor.
"That room we dubbed the game room. We told gramps that we wouldn't survive without at least Halo or resident evil…so he allowed us to charm the rooms so they are able to play host to muggle objects. So that means…" She opened the door next to the 'game room'.
"….So…" Draco said not sure what he should say to the girl he was supposed to hate for so many years and was forced to call her awful names and treat her horribly. He felt so stupid.
"What? So are you going to show me the rooms or are we going to stand in the hallway like idiots for the rest of our lives?" Hermione said, a little pushier then she intended. "Which room do you want? Door one, two…"he pointed to the doors on the right. "Or three or four?" he pointed to the left.
"I think I'll take the left." she said. He opened the first door.
"You picked my side. You're stuck with it now." The room was completely empty. "Just think of what you want the room to look like."
"So I can make it look exactly like my room at home…my old home…"Hermione felt the need to cry but Draco wasn't the type of guy who lets women lean on his shoulder…at least she figured he wasn't.
Draco however saw in her eyes that she need someone but he held back because…he was only an evil bastard to her, who tortured and insulted her and her friends for six years…well that's what she thought.
Hermione thought really hard about her room back at home…the Grangers house. There was a small pop and the room came out exactly like her room and it kind of surprised Draco. Hermione saw this.
"What you thought that a 'mudblood' wouldn't have a nice room or nice things or…or…or…" Hermione shouted at him and raised her hand to strike him back he caught it when it was about to hit.
"Look, Grang…Herm…Bethanie…Potter…whatever… I want you to know that I'm sorry for everything I did and…don't stop me because I'm not finished…and I don't expect you to forgive me or even like me so lets just be civilized ok? I never even hated you in the first place, actually I always kind of looked up to you so please…I don't know what I'm saying anymore…there's a bathroom in the door over to the left and a study to the right…oh…and here this is for you too…" He handed her a box and left heading for the astronomy tower but he didn't notice Remus getting ready to follow him.
Harry peered in through the door Alex just opened.
It was a HUGE kitchen! It was so great that even the top ten chefs in the world put together would still be jealous of this room and have no idea what to do in it.
All the cabinets were made with the same dark wood that the table in the common room was made of. The counters were made of dark black stone and the tile in the wall was garnet. The sink, fridge, stove, and all the other appliances were made of steel. Meghan smiled.
"This is my baby." She said hugging the stove. "Actually…everything in here is like my child, I love everything in here. I think I should let you know now, if you haven't figured it out yet, I Alexandra Shana Black am proud to admit that I am a compulsive eater." She stood up straight and put her hand over her heart. Harry was once again…staring.
Just then Hermione walked in the room holding a small black box. She looked incredibly confused.
"Where's Damien?" Alex said looking worried. Hermione shrugged and looked at the box.
"Hermione…Bethanie…this is going to take a long time to get use to…What is that?" Harry said pointing to the box. Hermione starred at him for a minute then to Alex then the box again.
"D…Damien was showing me the rooms and we kind of got in a fight and he said something handed me this box and walked off. I have no idea where he went either." She said.
"Have you looked inside of it yet?" Harry asked her. Hermione shook her head.
"No."
"Well, why don't you open it then we'll go and track D down." Alex said. Hermione nodded and started to open it Hermione couldn't help but think about how different Draco was and how nice he was for giving her something, but still half of her was expecting something horrible to come out of that little box. She opened the box and stared in shock at what was inside. Harry and Alex stared at Hermione. Alex walked around beside Hermione and stood beside her looking at what was in the box then her mouth fell open.
"He gave you those? Wow." Alex said. Hermione just nodded. Harry walked over and looked into the little box too. He could believe what he saw. How could Draco Malfoy get something so…beautiful…there wasn't any other way to explain what was in the box…to Hermione Granger of all people. Harry suspected that Draco would sooner snog Ron then be this generous to Hermione. But Harry reminded himself that this wasn't the Draco Malfoy he knew, this was a totally different person, Damien Black. Anyone who was related to Sirius should be ok in his books but then again his family was evil before him.

I was laying in bed because even though everyone knows that I'm an insomniac I have still been forced to go to bed by one so I just lay in bed thinking about what I should write next in the story and I ended up with a really good sex chapter that is a sort of turning point in the story and I have decided to do it. It might change a little bit though by the time I get there so…okay.
Well onward. Next Chapter coming up.
