Hey, guess who's back with an update? I haven't really been that inspired to write lately but I'm trying to fix that. I'm already working on the next chapter but it might not be out for awhile.
Anyways, I figure we should get on with the reviews and then get on to the story.
Review 1
Guest chapter 14. Feb 16
Great so far! I like how you actually comment on people's reviews. Most authors I've seen don't do that, but it really builds a great reader/writer relationship and helps if we have questions. I have two questions one is more of a hopeful thought. Will this be a harry/ fleur fic? (cause it seems like you could easily lead into that, with fleur thinking of harry as her hero and harry realizing Fluer would be easy to love even without the veala part of her heritage). My second question is since harry is part Siyan and Kryptonian would harry be classified as a magical creature like fleur) in the wizarding world?
Me: Sorry but for the first question, no this will not be a Harry/Fleur story. I actually have a ship in mind and have since I started this story, but it will be a long while until we get to that part of the story. I hope you do like who Adriane winds up with. As for the second question, I guess she could be classified as one if any of the magical world found out about her, this would be because the magical world has no idea that aliens are even a thing.

You may want to have her somehow get rid of the tail. In the anime and the manga, the tail of a Saiyan is there one weakness that literally incapacitates them.
Me: Thanks for your concern, but in the anime, the first one, Dragon Ball where Goku is a child. I believe that Goku managed to get rid of that weakness with some hard training. I believe that Adriane could do something like that to get rid of the weakness.

Vampireking40 chapter 14. Jan 12
Is Harry a boy or a girl in this seems that he is using both names and it the story is switching between his girl name and boy name. Yet he is being referred to as a boy by the teachers. Good story though.
Me: Ah, I can see where you would get confused. Adriane is a girl in this story but She is using a glamour tied into a watch to hide that she knows and that she got changed back. When she is called Harry that's done by the ones who she doesn't trust and therefore hasn't told them the truth about her being a girl yet.

Sakura Lisel chapter 6 . Jan 12
Wait what the old coot set up marriage contracts for BOTH of Adriane's genders to Ron AND Ginny? Um... exactly HOW was that even going to work? Unless the old coot was planning to reverse the gender change, how was Harry Potter going to marry Ron Weasley as 'his' female counterpart Rose Potter while ALSO marrying Ginny Weasley as Harry Potter?
Me: I know I normally only answer three reviews in a chapter, but this is a good question that I wanted to answer because I'm sure others were wondering the same.
Dumbledore set up both contracts so if "Harry" had stayed a boy, "He" would have been married off to Ginny and the contract to Ron would have become null and void.
He made the one for Ron in the small chance that "Harry" figured out that "He" was actually a she and changed back into a female, this way the contract to Ginny would be null and void but she would still be marrying into the Weasley family, therefore allowing them to still get her money.
He did this because he didn't want to leave anything to chance, he just didn't count on Adriane discovering the contracts or becoming Lady (Or Lord as he believes) until after she was 17 which by then one of the contracts would need to be filled. He didn't realize that she would become the head of the house of Potter and therefore able to cancel any illegal contracts anyone made for her.
I hope this helped you understand a little better!
Now time for the story.
Adriane was in a black void, there was nothing around her for miles, not even a single tree.
As she looked around she heard a voice, "Adriane." causing her to spin around with wide eyes, "Who's there?" There was no answer for a couple minutes before the voice came back a bit louder, "Adriane?"
Adriane glared around at the black void, getting in a fighting stance, "Come out whoever you are!" Once again the voice went away before it came back, right behind her. "ADRIANE!"
She spun around with a glare that melted into wide eyes as she saw who the voice was, it was-
Adriane groaned as she slowly woke up and blinked tiredly, she had forgotten about her dream, not even realizing that she had dreamt anything. At the moment all she wanted to know was where she was, and why did she feel so terrible?
She groaned when she remembered what happened down by the lake. At least Fluer hadn't taken her to Madam Pomphry and instead took her to the ROR. She would preferably not risk going to the school healer, only to wind up being potioned and controlled again.
Madam Pomfrey had to have known about the abuse and potions. Adriane had been in the hospital wing enough times for her to find out, and yet she didn't do anything to help Adriane. That had to go against her healers' oath.
So no, Adriane did not trust Madam Pomfrey at all, not as far as she could throw her-hmm scratch that she could probably throw her far if she really tried but, the point still stood.
And even if Madam Pomfrey somehow didn't know about what the headmaster had been doing to her, Adriane still wouldn't trust her to protect Adriane while she was sick. She never had before.
Just at that moment, the door opened, and Fluer walked in and looked relieved when noticing that she was awake. "Harry, you're awake! I was so worried when you just passed out and not allowing me to take you to the school healer!"
Adriane smiled at her sheepishly, "How long have I been out?"
Fluer sighed and rubbed her nose. "About a day or so, what have you been doing that made you so exhausted?"
Adriane slowly sat up. A day? She had been out for an entire day at, least it wasn't any longer than that. Fluer gently made her lie back down. Even though Adriane could push past her with little effort, she allowed herself to be pushed back down on the bed with a sigh.
"I've been training for this tournament and, trying to avoid my old friends and headmaster. They've been trying to corner me to force me to be friends with them again." Fluer sighed when getting that answer. "Harry, you need to rest as well you can't, as the English say, keep burning the candle at both ends. You have already worked yourself to the point of getting sick and passing out!"
Adriane slumped down and nodded, "I know, but there just seems to be so much to do in a day with so little time to do it." She grumbled half-heartedly while Fluer gently messed up her hair. "Trust me, I know how you feel but, you must take breaks, or else you'll just wind up getting sicker."
"Fine, I'll take a break." She snorted softly, "Not like I really have a choice, do I?" Fluer smirked, "Nope!"
Adriane settled in to go back to sleep and, despite having slept for an entire day, she felt tired. It must have been her fever that made her feel so tired but, Adriane wasn't going to complain.
Fluer was right. Adriane did need the rest. She had been neglecting her health while trying to get stronger. Adriane wouldn't get stronger if she kept this up, she would wind up getting weaker.
If that happened then, Adriane wouldn't be able to protect herself or those she loved. She would lose and probably wind up being controlled by the headmaster again.
Adriane would never allow that to happen if she could help it. She refused to allow herself to be controlled again.
It took a couple of days, but soon enough, Adriane was better. She was lucky that she managed to convince Fluer that she would be fine being taken care of by Dobby and Winky.
Adriane's sneezes were strong enough to knock down the stone wall that separated her bedroom and the living room in the ROR. She didn't want to think about what Fluer's reaction would have been if she saw that. Luckily she didn't or, else Adriane would have had a problem on her hands.
Adriane sighed as she took a sip of her tea. If she kept getting close to Fluer, then she would have to tell her the truth sooner or later. She wanted to tell her but she didn't want to risk the chance that Fluer would turn on her as her old friends did.
Adriane grabbed a letter from Gringotts that had arrived while she had been sick and started to read to distract herself from her thoughts.
Dear Lady Adriane Potter Black Slytherin Gryffindor Ravenclaw Emrys,
I am writing to inform you that, as of yesterday at 1:43 pm a Mrs. Molly Weasley tried to access your vault. She was very put out when we notified her that thanks to your name coming out of the Goblet of Fire, you were now considered of age, and therefore, we here at Gringotts have made it so only the head of the house of Potter can access any of your vaults at the moment.
Mrs. Weasley was obviously very upset about this and asked if there was anything that could be done. We once again notified her that only the head of house could tell us to let anyone else enter their vault.
We expect that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore will try to trick or, guilt you into letting both him and Mrs. Weasley into your vaults once again. Sadly, Mrs. Weasley did not stay to hear that "Lord" Potter would have to tell us the change in person or that we would be checking "Lord" Potter over to make sure they have not been potioned and that they are who they claim to be.
We here at Gringotts figured that you would appreciate the warning.
May the Blood of your enemies spill and stain the ground.
With care, Grinlast.
Adriane frowned and chewed on her lip after reading that. It was clear, to her that as soon as she showed her face, the old goat would call her up to his office. There he would try to trick her into giving him control of her once again. Not that it would happen but, it was still upsetting to think he was going to try again.
She silently wrote Grinlast a reply while thinking about the meeting she would be forced into later.
Dear Grinlast,
Thank you for letting me know about the attempted theft of my vaults by the one I used to see as a mother. I will, of course, make sure not to eat or drink anything that they might have tampered with.
Even if you would be checking for potions it would still not be prudent to allow myself, to be potioned. I could accidentally reveal that I figured out their plots.
If there is any more trouble, please inform me.
May the gold of your foes fill your vaults,
Lady Adriane Potter Black Slytherin Gryffindor Ravenclaw Emrys.
Adriane clenched her hand slightly before getting up. It was time to face the music and meet with the old meddling man.
The moment she walked into the hall, she saw Dumbledore look at her. she saw he was frowning and, his eyes weren't twinkling as much as they usually did.
She hid a smirk as she said down next to the twins and Neville and started conversing with them, before cringing when she heard a voice start screeching."Harry, where have you been!?"
Adriane slowly turned to that the screech had come from Hermione, Adriane was kind of impressed with her vocal reach. Hermione could probably give the harpy Molly Weasley a run for her money on the screeching department. "Why do you need to know Granger?"
She held back a smirk as she watched Hermione turn red in anger, "You've missed so many classes, do you know how long I'm going to have to help you study if you want even a chance of passing those classes! You're lucky that I took notes for you!"
Adriane blinked and glanced at the twins, and Neville who just shrugged, just as surprised and confused as she was. Adriane looked back at Hermione with a frown and responded as cold as she could.
"Granger, If you must know, I was ill. And before you say that, I am lying because I wasn't in the infirmary, please keep in mind that I do not trust anyone. Going there would have put me in danger. I also do not want or need your help. I am passing my classes just fine. Neville has been taking notes for me while I was out. He has also been bringing me my homework, so I had something to do while stuck in bed. Now please leave, I am trying to enjoy lunch with my friends."
Then Adriane turned around and discreetly cast a charm on her food and drink. Trying to see if anyone had slipped anything in them. Surprise, surprise, they did, she made sure to banish the food and drink before getting up and whispered to her friends. "Fred, George, Neville, I'm going to go back to my rooms, I don't really feel up to being slipped potions today."
Just as she was about to leave, Dumbledore called out, "Harry, My boy, would you please meet with me in my office after lunch?"
Holding back a groan, she responded, "Is this about my school work, sir?"
She had fun watching as he fumbled for an answer, "Not exactly but, we will be talking about it."
Adriane nodded like that made sense and responded, "Fine, sir, I'll be there after lunch." Then she walked out of the great hall and went back to the chamber of secrets.
Adriane waited an hour after lunch was over to go to Dumbledors office. She had said she would be there after lunch, she never said how long after lunch.
She stopped outside the stone gargoyle and stared at it silently, no one had told her the password so if Dumbledore wanted her to come up to see him, he would need to come down and let her in. That was if no other teacher came by while she was waiting.
After 15 minutes of waiting, she decided to conjure a chair and took a book out of her bag, and started to read.
It was only after she finished the book half an hour later that the stone gargoyle moved and showed an upset Dumbledore standing there. "My boy, why did you not come up when you got here?"
Adriane put her book in her bag while responding, "I'm sorry sir, no one told me the password, the most logical solution was to just wait until someone realized that." She shrugged here as she got rid of the conjured chair.
She had to work hard to hold back her smirk when she saw his frown deepen, "Why didn't you guess the password?" She just gave him a deadpan look, "You normally use candies but there are hundreds of different candy brands all over the world so I would have been here naming candy names forever if I tried that."
Dumbledore frowned again but didn't say anything in response other than telling her to follow him up to his office.
As soon as they were in the office he sat down behind his desk and Adriane noticed that Snape was in the corner of the room, "Excuse me sir but why is Snape here?"
Dumbledore looked slightly startled for a second as if he didn't expect her to mention Snape being here and ask why. That look was gone as fast as it came but thanks to Adriane's eyes being as good as they were she was able to see it before it was gone.
"Ah, I trust him explicitly." Adriane had to fight hard not to roll her eyes at that answer as she responded, "Sir, while that is nice that doesn't answer my question, you may trust him but I do not. He has always treated me awful, it's not even just me! He treats other students, not in Slytherin like dirt. Bloody hell, Nevilles Boggart is him, sir!" Adriane glared at the both of them, "If he stays here for this meeting then I am leaving, I do not trust him any more than I do Voldemort or any other death eater."
"My boy, you can't honestly be comparing Severus to that of Voldemort are you?" It was clear that Dumbledore was shocked, and she could tell that Snape was shocked as well.
"Yes sir I am, now I wish you a nice day but I am leaving." Before anyone could stop her, she left through the door and then rushed away before they could get to the bottom of the stairs to go after her.
She was gone by the time they got to the bottom of the stairs.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I tried to add more speaking to it, did I do a good job? Please, review and let me know what you thought.
