Return of the House of Emerys: Merlin and the Basilisk

(The next day-Great Hall)

The whole group where sat at the end of the Gryffindor table discussing what happened last night as Hedwig flash fired over the table and flew down onto Harry's shoulder holding a package "What have the family sent Hed?" he opened the package to see a Starkphone and a note, he read the note.

Hey Mini-Merlin,

I wanted to see if it would work, so from the scans I took over the summer, I believe that your father and I have created the first magic resistant phone, give us a call, we miss ya kiddo

Your favourite Uncle

Tony

Harry chuckled and activated the phone, instantly a familiar voice was heard "Hello Master Harry, how are you today?" Harry burst out laughing "Hello J.A.R.V.I.S, I see Uncle Tony managed it then" "Indeed, shall I call him Master Harry?" "Go ahead" the phone rang for a few seconds before "Hello Mini-Merlin, how's school?" "It's been good, though, Uncle Tony, do you remember a woman known as Emma Frost?" "Oh? Emmy, of course I remember her, we dated for a few months before she broke it off and disappeared saying that she couldn't settle down just yet and that I shouldn't wait for her, I do anyways, why are you asking Hulk Junior?" "Well, it would be best if you saw for yourself, can you activate Holographic Mode J.A.R.V.I.S?" "Of course, Sir".

A holograph of Tony's face appeared and grinned at harry "So what's this all about Gandalf?" Harry pointed behind Tony, the holographic head turned around to see a young Emma with his aristocratic features "What? Who? How? What's your name young lady?" Daphne looked at him, her face set like stone "Daphne Greengrass is my adopted name, my full name is Daphne Jackson Frost, Daughter of Emma Frost" Stark looked at her carefully his facial expression was a mirror image of her own "Who is your father?" Daphne's eyes hardened "You are".

Tony's face changed from stony to shock, to disbelief, to stony with a slight mixture of hope, happiness, sadness and worry in his eyes "Do you want me to be? Or do you want to stay with your adopted family?" Daphne's expression softened as her eyes filled with shock and confusion "You're giving me a choice? You actually want me?" Tony sighed "Even if my reputation strikes me as immature, I can be mature, I will be honest, I never thought about having children, but I have you now, if you'll have me, I'll be the best father I can be".

Daphne blinked back tears "I'll still want to keep in touch with my adopted family and visit, is that alright with you…Dad" Tony's smile could have outshined 1000 suns after she had called him Dad, he nodded and ended the call. Daphne looks at the others with a bright smile "Hey Tek" Tek looked at her apprehensively "Yes?" "Could you apparate me to Greengrass Manor so that I can inform my folks about what's happening?" Tek sighs and walks out of the Great Hall with Daph right behind him, as soon as they are out of sight Tek grabs her arm and apparates to Greengrass Manor.

(Windsor Castle)

Queen Elizabeth II was sat on a sun chair enjoying the sun with a cup of tea when an owl landed on the arm rest, she looked at it and realised it was from someone in the magical world "You aren't the owl that the moron uses, so who are you?" the owl lifted its leg and directed the letter to the Queen, she carefully untied the letter as the owl flew over to the bird feeder and started eating, she chuckled and opened the letter, she saw a Gringotts inheritance sheet fall out and on to her lap, she ignored it and decided to read the letter.

Greeting's Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,

My name is Hermione Granger, though I doubt the will mean anything to you unless you have already read the Gringotts Inheritance Sheet, if you have done so, I apologise for my presumptions.

Elizabeth looked at the letter with a confused frown but continued to read.

Now Your Majesty, I have a request before you read any further into this letter, please read the Gringotts Inheritance Sheet, it should hopefully clear up why I am contacting you.

Elizabeth looked at the letter with a confused frown before picking up the Inheritance Sheet, she read through it and her eyes widened, she re-read just to make sure before turning back to the letter.

Surprise, I'm your Granddaughter…I think. It doesn't really say, anyways, I found all of this out last night just minutes before my adopted parents were murdered.

Elizabeth's eyes widened then softened.

I was wondering if you would let me live in one of the spare royal houses until I can figure something out? I know this is a lot to ask as we haven't even met yet and if the answer is no, I will completely understand.

Elizabeth scoffed "Of course I'll house you, silly girl, you are family".

Anyways, I'll be happy to come to wherever you currently are for Christmas, if you are fine with that, I'll have a friend drop me off.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hermione Jean Granger (Hermione Masaki Kurosaki)

Elizabeth chuckled and smiled softly at the thought of meeting her granddaughter "Alfred" the butler walked over "Yes, your majesty?" "Bring me a Pen, a Sheet of paper and an envelope, I have a letter to write" "Yes, your majesty" and with that the butler walked off leaving the smiling Queen to re-read both the letter and the Inheritance Sheet.

(Greengrass Manor)

Cygnus and Evelyn were sat in the front room talking about work when Tek and Daphne apparated through the wards of the house "Daphne? Tekuya? What are you two doing here? You're supposed to be at school" Daphne walked forward "I found out" the two looked confused "I found out that I'm not a Greengrass and I'm in contact with my biological father" Cygnus and Evelyn sighed "We knew this day would come, so you found out who your parents are, how?" Daphne passed them the Gringotts Inheritance Sheet "When did you have time to do this?" She pointed at Tek, the two adults looked at Tek who was watching them "I took her to Gringotts with my Sister and Hermione after we found out that Tori was the main Heiress".

The two adults looked at each other for a few seconds "So what now Daphne? You've found your father, what's next?" Daphne looked at them "I'm going to go and live with my biological Father but I will keep contact with you and I will be visiting, my father and I have already had this discussion" Evelyn and Cygnus had tears in their eyes "We knew that one day you would be moving out, we just didn't expect it to be this soon" the two adults walked forward and hugged Daphne who hugged them back, Tek smiled at the scene, the Greengrass's talked for a bit more before Tek and Daph apparated back to Hogwarts.

(Hogwarts-Main Hall-Afternoon Meal)

The group were sat together as usual eating when Hermione's owl flew in and landed in front of her "Hello Athena" the owl held out her leg so that Hermione could get the letter, after Hermione quickly and carefully untied the letter Athena flew to the Owlery. Hermione looked at the letter in her hands and sighed before opening it.

Dear Hermione,

I am pleased to hear that my missing daughter had such a polite daughter, I am saddened that I couldn't see her once more, but I am happy that you got into contact with me. Now when it comes to housing, don't be silly child, you are family, so you are always welcome, we are currently staying at Windsor Castle, so I hope to see you and your friend the day you get out of school for Christmas.

With Love

Your Grandmother

Hermione wiped the tears out of her eyes "They want me to come for Christmas, Harry can you drop me off on the day we leave for Christmas?" Harry smiled "Of course".
