Chapter six
Recap:
"What about Uncle Sev? He was always loyal to Father" Adonis said as Apollo's eyes twinkled with remembrance.
"That's brilliant! We just need to get to the dungeon undetected Uncle Sev will know what to do next" Apollo sounded determined, this could work.
This time:
We start making our way to the dungeon, being discreet as possible. It was dinner so the halls were sparse but you could never be too careful.
My mind was still reeling from everything that happened in such a short while, all too soon we were at Snape's classroom.
Adonis knocks on the door rapidly.
I prayed he recognized us
The door swung open in an annoyed haste, the second his eyes were on us he pulled us in.
Realization in his eyes as he took in our appearances, a soft look washes over him. A look I haven't felt the warmth from in ages.
He was my Godfather, and the twins call him uncle as an honor from the Dark Lord.
"My Princes, My Princess, how is this possible?" Severus questions us, his voice barely a whisper as he does a slight bow towards us.
It reminds me that I am indeed the Dark Princess, future Queen of Death Eaters. I relish the power that comes with that.
"We came into our Veela inheritance Uncle Sev" His eyes go wide as Apollo continues.
"We were trying to protect Ella from Ron and it just took over us" I can see Severus digesting this information, he looks impressed.
"How did your memories and real selves return? We thought it impossible" Severus speaks as he rushes to his desk to write a letter.
"I found a spell and it brought everything back for the twins, then they used it on me." My voice was something that had also changed from when I was Hermione.
My voice as Hermione was harsh and gruff, as Cedrella it was musical and angelic almost.
"We must get to the manor at once, we need to alert the remaining Death Eaters" He sends his owl off with a letter as he readies his fireplace for floo traveling.
AT MALFOY MANOR
I exit the fireplace and see a familiar looking sitting room, more memories flood my head.
All happy memories, etiquette lessons with my mother, game nights with Draco, being chased by my twins all over before collapsing into laughs and into their arms…
I feel a surge of hatred towards Dumbledore, he had no right to steal us from our lives. He will pay.
I'm quickly snapped out of my revenge thoughts by being enveloped by my mothers arms, sobbing racking her beautiful frame.
My mother was a gorgeous woman who was made of grace and beauty. She had smooth hair, a dark and light contrast blending together. She balanced the pure Malfoy blonde like my father, but held onto the bold dark hair of the House of Black.
My father rushes in, with the trademark silver blonde hair, pale gray eyes and charming smile it was no wonder my mother chose him out of every suitor.
My father joins the hug, his own tears gracing his face as he pulls my mother and I closer to him, his sleek blonde hair looking disheveled for once.
I felt a pang in my heart as we pulled away, knowing the twins couldn't experience a reunion just yet.
"We received Severus's letter and just couldn't believe it, our Dark Princes returned" My father says as he and my mother also give a slight bow towards them.
"My beloved daughter reunited with us once more, like dreams coming true all around." My mothers sweet smile beams at me as we all settle into chairs.
The twins and I on a loveseat, my parents across from us and Severus in a chair between both loveseats.
"What happens now?" Apollo asks, saying what everyone in the room was thinking.
"When can we get our revenge on the light?" Adonis asks in a dark tone, I can feel the dark magic radiating off of him more deeply than it comes from Apollo.
He was always the darker twin, always more devious, more malicious.
"I think it'd be wise to return to your old looks." Severus starts, I knew we wouldn't be able to stay like this.
I could feel Adonis get ready to protest but Sev continues before he gets a chance.
"Since you three are close to Potter and the order it would be an immense help to have three more spies on the inside." My parents nod in agreement.
"This is a big year at Hogwarts, the Triwizard tournament is to take place. It was to be announced at tonight's feast with the introduction of the partner schools Beauxbouton and Drumstrang." Excitement courses through me.
The tournament was legendary in some books I've read. I know the twins will want to enter.
"There is a plan set in motion to bring back the Dark Lord by the end of the school year. He is weak right now, but we are hopeful for his return. With you three helping there is no doubt." I can hear excitement in Sev's voice.
"We will do anything." The twins say in unison, you can hear the darker tone of Adonis shine through, whereas Apollo just sounds determined.
I nod my head in agreement.
"With that settled we should get you three changed back before Dumblefool notices anything amiss" My father says, shooting me a wink as I laugh.
My mother reaches across to stroke my face before I'm transformed into plain Hermione.
I was already missing my true features. The silver lining was that Severus charmed our facades and allowed us to shift appearances whenever we felt like it.
I hug my parents goodbye and they promise to write to Draco about everything. I wish I could've spoken to him tonight.
As we arrive back at Hogwarts and agree that our story would be that Snape gave us detention. It seemed the most plausible.
He gives a slight bow before he escorts us out and offers to help the Twins out with their Veela shifts, working on controlling it better, especially if they have to keep being around Ron.
Our walk back to Gryffindor tower was in silence, hands gripped tightly. So much has happened only a few days into our year.
It will only get more intense from here, I have these two boys by my side. I know we can do anything.
We enter the tower and sink into the couch we've deemed as ours, Apollo strokes my hair as Adonis nuzzles into my neck.
"We could have our father back by the end of the year!" Apollo whispers so nobody overhears.
"What do you think the plan is? Severus said it involves the Triwizard tournament." I ask them as we get more comfortable.
The common room was scarce, only two seventh years remained besides us, which was nice, after so much chaos peacefulness was what we needed.
"All I know is that we need to figure out if Harry can be persuaded or if he's our enemy" Adonis's voice has taken on the dark tone of Adonis.
My heart sinks as I forgot that crucial part in everything. He was my best friend, could he be shown the truth and be persuaded to our side….
Or would he be our enemy with the rest of the order. Only this year will tell.
