Chapter two –
(A/N whilst writing this chapter I was listing to If this was a movie by Taylor Swift)
Hermione's eyes flickered open the sun light blinding her, she sat up taking a few leafs of her shoulder and hair. She was covered in dirt looking to the side Luna was they're her blood stained hair covered with twigs and leafs. The grass was a vibrant green covered with twigs, leafs and white flowers. Hermione smiled as she looked up at Hogwarts castle Luna followed her eyesight and smiled the blood on their faces had dried. Luna grabbed the locket from her neck "It must have broken as we landed" she spoke pushing it into her pocket Hermione nodded in agreement grabbing her bag she stood up carefully , Luna followed.
The sun was blazing on their skin sweat was rushing down their heads mixing in with the blood and mud. They approached the large castle gates were a young Albus Dumbledore stood along with Minerva McGonagall. The two professors approached the young girls with caution, their clothes were tattered covered with blood, scars, cuts and bruises were visible. Albus could sense something about these two girls they were special. "Professor Dumbledore" Hermione smiled as her mentor was alive and young tears threatened to spill.
"Have we met before dear?" came his patient voice the twinkle in his eyes gleamed.
"We have a lot to tell you , if we could talk in private" Luna spoke this time the two girls looked at each other grasping each other's worn hands as they walked through the large gates of the place they just seen get destroyed.
"Very well" spoke the wise headmaster. The young war heroes followed the headmaster through the halls, the doors opened and the students spilled out into the halls. Perfect, they had landed right in the middle of a term. Note the sarcasm. Slytherin students smirked and laughed at the girls. Gryffindor's looked at them started rumours of what had happened to the young girls. Hufflepuffs exchanged worried glances at the blood matted girls whilst Raven-claws looked through their books barely glancing at the two girls from war. They approached the stairs to the headmaster's office "Sugarpops" Hermione whispered at the same time Dumbledore spoke. Albus hummed as they walked up the stairs he took a seat and offered two to the girls, which they gladly took.
"Professor you written a letter to yourself to explain it and by it we mean everything" Luna spoke handing over a scrolled up piece of Parchment.
Ten minutes passed. It felt like years to both Hermione and Luna what if he didn't believe them? He had to believe them if not them than his future self.
"I see" he spoke placing the parchment down and looking at them from his half-moon glasses. Hermione smiled at Luna and grasped her hand.
"We'll announce at Dinner tonight , now as you and future me have discussed your new identities Hermione is now known as Eden and Luna you're Brooklynn , both of you are my brother Aberforths unidentical daughters we'll say you're here for your last two years of education" he stated the girls both nod.
"At the dinner you will be sorted, may I ask your previous houses?" asks the wise old man.
"Gryffindor" answers Hermione.
"Ravenclaw" smiles Luna.
"Alright my dears. You both will be expected to join the order of phoenix seen as though we now have to make it a lot earlier than expected" He spoke smiling gently.
"Of course Professor" The girls chorused.
"Please so you're not recognisable in the future cast a few glamour's just subtle changes as some students have already seen you" professor Dumbledore smiled as the girls cast they're spells. Hermione's brown bushy hair was now long with hints of red , straight and sleek her eyes a bright blue her skin just a shade darker. Luna changed her bright blue eyes to a dark emerald green – much like Harrys- her hair was now short still the platinum blonde she loved. "Now we'll take you to madam Pomfrey and have you clean and sorted you may change and leave your bags in here until you are sorted" speaks the Headmaster.
"Of course Professor, Thank-you" Hermione smiled.
The trio walked through the halls to the infirmary "Poppy these are my nieces Brooklynn and Eden please see to they're injuries and return them to my office before the dinner please" spoke the headmaster smiling at the young Medi-witch.
"Of course! Dears what have you been up to Merlin!" Poppy cursed as she places them on medical beds.
An hour later the girls were clean cuts had been treated and bruises where gone. The girls quickly got changed Hermione changed into Harry's dark red oversized jumper, black leggings and converse pulling her hair into an high pony tail and a spray of Harrys aftershave she smiled gently at the thought of him. Luna dressed in a cream jumper, black leggings, small boots and the locket her mother gave her. The girls walked too Dumbledore's office. The Headmaster greeted them with a smile, Hermione and Luna placed they're bags under the headmasters gleeful eyes. The trio decided to walk to the dining hall.
The hall was full off students smiling; laughing just like it was before the war. As the trio walked in the girls held each other's hands as the memories came back. The hall went deadly silent. The whispers of who they were. Walking to the front Dumbledore stood behind the golden owl podium "Good evening students! Staff! Now my nieces Eden and Brooklynn will be joining us for their last two years of education! Treat them well! Minerva the sorting hat please" smiled the old man the twinkle in his eyes brighter than other.
(R/N I'm going to be referring to Hermione as Eden and Luna as Brookleynn from now one)
Eden looked at Brooke and Brooke looked at Eden. Brooke shrugged her shoulders walking over to the little stool as the heavy hat was placed on her short blonde hair "Gryffindor!" it shouted Brooke shrugged and waited for Eden. Eden was nervous, what if her and Brooke where split up? Surely the sorting hat wouldn't be that cruel would it? Obviously not as both girls sat down at the Gryffindor table "I'm Alice Rosier" said one girl with dark brown hair. Neville's mum.
"I'm Lily Evans" smiles another both girls looked up at her, it was unmistakably those bright emerald green eyes this was Harrys mum. Tears welled up in both girls eyes; they shook their heads clearing their thoughts of the boy who once lived.
"Hey" chorused the 'twins'
Eden and Brooke got along with the girls quite well Lily was a lot like Eden or Eden was a lot like Lily.
"Good Evening ladies, I'm Sirius, Sirius Black" smiled a charming boy his hair curly and messy down to his jaw. Brooke gulped waiting for Eden's reaction, her tears fell quickly. Sirius was confused, that would be the understatement of the year. Eden couldn't help it she had to look. There he was James Potter he looked just like Harry, the same messy black hair that could never be tamed, the same gorgeous jaw line, nose the only difference was his eyes. Seeing James just made it a whole lot real for Eden she looked to his side Remus. Her favourite Professor. Peter Pettigrew, her sad tears turned to anger filled ones she want to kill him they're and then, she didn't instead she glared standing and walking out the hall in silence. Brooke sighed "I'm sorry about my sister I best go after her" she smiles gently before following her 'twin'.
"'Mione?" she questioned walking into the girls' bathroom the same one Harry and Ron have saved her in.
She was crouched under the same sink tears falling eyes burning with hatred. "He's sitting there with them laughing at they're jokes. He killed them. IT'S HIS FAULT HARRY DIDN'T HAVE PARENTS!" she shouted the last part as the sobs over took her body. She was crying for Harry , for Ron , George , Fred , Tonks , Teddy but most importantly James , Sirius , Remus and Lily they didn't know what they're future hold but she did.
