Here is the next chapter. Please read and review thank you love Hermione xxx

The day had arrived. Damian had asked Dora to check on all of his belongings. Were they all present and so on which she told him they were. He was meeting Dudley at the station where Kreacher would be dropping him off somewhere with loads of people he wouldn't be seen or could easily blend in at least. Damian was settling down for his breakfast and felt very happy indeed. He finished breakfast as everyone who was over in the Weasley household was running around like headless chickens.

Since the new rules had been brought in, money had been provided so they could all have their own wands and robes. It was important that they all have their own wands for the safety of the school and all of the new Lords and Ladies of the four founders agreed when making it a rule. Molly herself was very nervous about her task. She'd been asked to meet Harry Potter at the station and Dumbledore had blatantly said he had no idea how the boy could be. He could be highly fragile or very confident. He could know a bit about their world or nothing at all. She was told to just go with it whatever it happened to be. This was easier said then done. She wanted him to be with Ginny desperately but didn't wish to scare him off at the start either. Using potions on him truly was a last resort, in her mind at least. She would much prefer him to just come quietly, do what he is told and make everyone's lives easier.

Damian had decided he wanted to use the muggle entrance and had Dora drop him off at the station with a trolley full of his things. As he approached the station he could hear Molly loudly shouting out about muggles and platform nine and three quarters. He stormed over to her furious. "Excuse me but whoever the hell you are keep your voice down. You're at risk of breaking the damn statue of secrecy screaming like that!" he snapped as she having forgotten she met him and his twin weeks ago thought he was Harry and didn't mention it to him.

"Yes I am sorry my boy I didn't think of that. You are a first year too just like my Ronnie here. Yes Ronald will be in first year too!" she said enthusiastically. He looked at her like she had ten heads. Was she for fucking real right now.

"Yes and you'll be in jail if you're not careful. I am sure Ron will have more sense then his mother. Excuse me I must go!" he said running ahead of her. She was totally flustered.

"Oh mum why did you have to do that? Now he's going to report you and I'll be all worried about you failing and ending up in jail. Sometimes you just don't think at all do you? You'd better hope Ron isn't scarred by this and doesn't go into a bad house. If that is Harry Potter like I think it might have been he wasn't impressed. This is so embarrassing and I sure hope it wasn't! I will not be the laughing stock of the school because my own mother freaks out at the sight of Harry Potter and abandons not only the statute of secrecy but her own sanity too" Percy snapped at her clapping his hand against his own forehead in rage. She wasn't used to being talked down to. To be hnonest she usually did the talking down to others at home. It wasn't nice being on the other side of it as she was quickly realising.

"He's going to school Percy. I doubt he'll report me for an error. I was nervous about meeting Harry Potter the boy who lived. Can you blame me for blundering a little bit? I was star struck. Don't worry about me Percy I'll be fine I assure you! No one will laugh at you. And anyway with him there he'll be sure to take all focus off you so don't worry so much. Now you have a great year my darling boy. I'm so proud of you" she said kissing his cheeks as he boarded the train. He sincerely hoped she was right about all she was saying. Thankfully he needn't have worried as Damian would eventually forget it for now. If she ever actively did anything though he'd be sure to report her in a heartbeat. Ron went in search of who they thought was Harry Potter and found him in a compartment alone only because Dudley and the other founders hadn't arrived yet. He'd been early with the hope of finding himself a prime compartment on the train which offered everything comfortable for the journey to school.

"I'm Ron from earlier do you mind if I sit here?" he asked Damian who looked up in shock at being addressed at all. To be honest he'd been so busy analysing how perfect the cpompartment was he'd not even noticed Ron come in at all. It made him jump slightly which he could only hope hadn't been obvious. Ron was totally oblivious though and hadn't noticed a thing at all thank goodness.

"Yes Ron you may sit there if you like. It's my first year too and I'm dead nervous like you but I'm sure it will go well. Which house do you want to go into?" he asked as Ron's chest puffed out proudly. He looked so very proud of himself initially and then highly unsure before forcing himself to look proud once more. Damian could tell he was very nervous and obviously felt like there was an answer he was expected to give which was a bit silly. It was silly to put so much pressure on ones self so early. They weren't even at school yet.

"Well my older twin brothers Fred and George like to joke and said we need to battle a troll to get in to any house at all. I sure hope not because I'm not at all prepared and I'd love Gryffindor house but if I can't defeat the troll I won't be brave enough to go there!" he said glumly as Damian laughed really loudly highly shocking him. He'd not seen the laugh coming and was too shocked to even be offended by of it.

"Were Fred and George dropped on their heads as babies? You only put on a sorting hat to get sorted and unless the headmaster has lost complete control you don't have to fight a troll. You're so funny!" he said as Ron blushed and looked very angry. He wasn't angry with Damian though. He was furious that the twins had thought it was ok to terrify him like that. What if he'd told other people and happened to scare them too? What if they all thought this was the right thing which really did happen. His twin brothers could have caused absolute mayhem with their stupid mouths.

"Yeah well I thought it was right. No need to be jerk about it Harry!" he said as Damian looked at him weirdly. He'd not told him his name before however he could just have guessed it wrong. He actually assumed he'd just guessed wrong though.

"I never said my name was Harry. Where did you get that idea? I'm sorry you never asked me for my name and I forgot to give it to you. How rude of me. I'm Damian P Dursley. Ah and here's my twin brother Dudley B Dursley!" he gestured as Dudley entered smirking.

"Hey Dame! Who's the dude?" he said gesturing to a now very pale Ron. Ron looked like there was anywhere else in the world he'd rather be. He suddenly looked like he wanted out and fast at that.

"His name is Ron Dudders. For some reason he thought I was called Harry but I don't know why!" he said as Dudley looked at him seriously. Inside Ron was panicking as it hadn't been Harry Potter as they'd thought. He'd need to rush out and tell his mum quickly however as Zacharias and Hermione arrived Neville in tow he had no opportunity to leave and freaked out as the train moved away. His mum had told him it was Harry after all. Wasn't this in part her fault for being wrong? At home Molly told Albus over the floo what Harry had done to her and he was intrigued but he insured her that he wouldn't be able to press charges against her when he was through with the little runt.

The plan was to keep him as in control as he could. Molly had seen Harry so his mind was at ease now. He could have had no way of knowing it wasn't Harry she'd seen but Damian who just so happened to be on his own. Hermione had a serious heart to heart with her parents before leaving and they all felt a lot better for it. She understood so much more about her mum now and it was enlightening to say the least. She would write them four times a month at a time of her choice and they were happy with this. From talking to her parents and hearing a few home truths about some things she'd not been willing to consider before she now thought realistically about Harry Potter. It would still be lovely to be his wife. However if he was mentally and emotionally scarred as her parents had informed her wouldn't be included in a book things could be very different. She hadn't considered what kind of life he may have lived till now something her parents reminded her of. He may not even have known magic existed before getting his school letter. Only time would tell.

She glanced over at Damian who was reading a book and had shaggy hair falling a bit forward as he read. He did look very cute and she had been unable to forget what Kreacher had said about that potion and what it was used for. She was too young anyhow to think logically about love. Her ladyship had made her mature in mind only. Her body still had plenty of growing left to do. Hermione leaned forward to grab a book when the train jostled her and she fell forward touching Damian's knee as she grabbed it to support herself. She had grabbed it purely to stop herself from falling over totally. As soon as she touched his knee there was a slight flash of light and she gasped loudly as she experienced a premonition. She could see herself in the future. She was slapping Damian and crying and then she was kissing him so fiercely it made her blush.

What had he done which would make her want to slap him and then kiss him. She had been telling him that what he'd done wasn't fair and that it's never ok to lie to someone. I wonder what he lied about she thought as she climbed back onto her chair. The others looked at her in awe wondering what it was about. You see Damian had premonitions too however his came in his dreams and Hermione's came from touching things. There was only a flash the first time; there wouldn't be one in future. She was blushing as everyone looked at her wondering what was going on. She would need to say something before they all freaked out. Ron in particular looked very freaked out. How in the hell was a girl of all people able to flash brightly just from touching someone. As it would never happen again though he'd be inclined to believe he only thought he saw the flash of light.

"I just experienced a piece of magic I didn't realise I had access to hence the bright light. It's ok nothing to worry about" she said blushing wildly as she returned to her book to read and everyone moved on. Ron was very nervous being with them after hearing that. What kind of access to magic did she have that the others did not? Not only did he not fit in at all but Harry Potter wasn't here and he needed to be his best friend as soon as possible according to his mother and Dumbledore himself. He really didn't understand why though he'd just been ordered to do it and to shut his mouth and not ask any queastions. They all jumped as their door was quickly yanked opened by Malfoy who was flanked at either side by Crabbe and Goyle and looked intimidating to only Ron.

"I have heard Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts is that you? You don't look nearly as great as they say. No scar or glasses. I bet you're not even really the boy who lived at all are you? I bet it's all a publicity stunt isn't it you vile cretin" he sneered in the direction of Zacharias Smith who chuckled.

"No it most certainly is not and I am not Harry Potter obviously hence the lack of scar and glasses. I hope you're not a Hufflepuff with that attitude as you couldn't work hard and through toil to boot if I paid you to" he snapped back irritably already tired of Malfoy's high thoughts of himself.

"Who told you he was here because we haven't seen him Malfoy. Don't forget we're very close with Lord Black so if I were you I would watch my tone when speaking with my betters. Remember our last conversation now won't you. Just because you didn't hear of the last name Dursley doesn't mean it's not important you ignorant pig now get the fuck out of my compartment! You're so lucky I don't make you kneel and kiss my robes like your father did for his master back in the day" Dudley snapped waving his wand as the door slammed shut in his face. A face which was slowly loosing it's colour in fear. Damian looked at Hermione and wondered if he should tell her but then decided that he couldn't wait.

"Please excuse me everyone but I need to have a private conversation with Hermione for a moment muffilato!" he called out silencing the area as everyone got on with what they were doing as though he'd said nothing. Even Ron had lost interest. Ron thought Dudley was so cool for how he'd stood up to Malfoy though. Maybe they could be friends if he also didn't like him. She glanced up at him when the spell was finished and he smirked at her.

"Suffice it to say when you touched me I saw what you did. I will have you know I don't see these things like you. I see mine in my sleep not from touching things and others like you do however for obvious reasons I can see what you see when you touch me. Magic works in mysterious ways Miss Granger but I have always believed it works no matter what. I believe everything happens for a reason even if I don't like that. If you play with fire you get burnt as I discovered before. When I tried to prank you with that potion it backfired on me" he said seriously as she blushed deeply.

"Well it might have backfired on me too you know. I may not wish to end up in love with you but all signs are telling me that I will. Seeing as we both saw the same things what do you think you lied to me about that would make me that mad?" she asked him seriously as he looked so guilty she was now deeply worried for him.

"I know what it's all about naturally and I could tell you but first I would need a vow that you wouldn't tell anyone about it no matter if they use truth serum or the imperious curse as this is vital. I would suggest this as I don't like keeping secrets from you all of a sudden!" he said seriously as she looked highly confused and conflicted. She raised her wand casting a notice me not charm around them as she then proceeded to give him the vow he'd asked for and waited for him to continue.

"Well you see I know for a fact that Harry James Potter is not going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year or any other year for that matter" he said as she looked highly upset and confused.

"How do you know that? Did he tell you? Is he your friend?" she asked in rapid succession sounding even more worried as she progressed.

"I know about that because for safety reasons I needed to become Damian P Dursley and the twin brother of Dudley B Dursley. I was Harry James Potter and Dudley was my cousin. Albus Dumbledore left me one night outside my aunt and uncles home on their doorstep in November and they about just got to me in time. If they hadn't I would have died from frostbite. All I know is that he nearly killed me and so we had to change who we were legally and magically. I knew I'd never have been safe otherwise. If he could leave me on their doorstep in Winter to die what else could he do!'' he said very seriously as she gasped her hand flying to her mouth in shock. She had tears in her eyes which didn't fall. That was awful. She'd looked up to Dumbledore but obviously couldn't anymore which was a real let down for her. She hated needing to dislike a grown up as it always made her highly uncomfortable on the inside.

''We used a blood adoption potion which made Dudley and I technically fraternal twins and brothers. This potion also made me their son. I was cautioned against telling anyone about this as they were concerned about what lengths Albus Dumbledore would go to in order to control me. We discovered he'd been in my vault at Gringotts and given a portion of my money to Ron's mother and even taken some for himself. I don't yet know if Ron knows this or not but I won't judge him until I can be sure of it. I am sorry I couldn't tell you without the vow but it wasn't safe to do so" he said as she sat there with her eyes now wide, mouth opening and closing like a fish until she snapped out of it and slapped him across the face very hard. It had been the shock of it all. She hadn't meant to do that to him. He could tell it was the shock himself. Yes she was mad but not mad enough to actually want to hit him.

"This is not ok. It is not ok that you thought you could lie to me like that however hearing your explanation does explain why I didn't know about it. I will watch myself in front of Dumbledore for sure. I was all excited about meeting him but now that has been dulled. I looked up to him and he's let me down. I hate so much when adults are not who or what I thought they were as I end up having to dislike them for it and it's their fault. I can't believe he left the Boy Who Lived on a damn doorstep in winter and nearly killed him fucking bastard!" she called out blushing at the curse. She didn't usually curse but this moment did warrant it and he could understand it himself. He'd always hated disliking adults himself but some adults such as Dumbledore really forced you to dislike him through his horrible and thoughtless actions.

"I am so sorry but at least you can understand why I did what I did. I really did have no choice. You must admit yourself though you are better now. When I first met you, you were unbearable and scared me with all this talk of marrying Harry Potter. Now I realise that the potion usually means the people who smell it will end up together so what should we do?" he asked as she looked very seriously for a moment. This was a lot to process and take in. She was truly mortified about how bad she'd been in relation to marrying Harry Potter. Her parents had, had a serious chat with her about why it was wrong and why it would look wrong to others. Once she saw how frankly crazy it looked she vowed to never continue talking like that around others if she could help it.

"Oh shut up will you? I'm already embarrassed enough about my conduct. I can assure you I will be watching Dumbledore like a hawk from now on. I cannot believe he gave your money to Mrs Weasley. I met her on the platform and she was raving about how she'd met Harry Potter and he was best friends with her son Ronald. I managed to touch her unnoticed and I could see she'd been ordered to do this by Dumbledore. I am still adjusting to the powers I have gained with my ladyship. It's all still so new sometimes. I can't explain it but I could just tell she was greedy as all hell. She just wanted your money and intended to feed you love potions so you'd love her daughter who comes to school next year. That makes me sad because it's not ok. I don't know what to do about the whole us thing. Should we kiss?" she asked feeling very nervous. It was one thing knowing it all but another thing entirely putting any of these types of things into practice.

"I am not sure about that. I know she's a money hungry woman. I also know it's a hell of a lot easier to manipulate a desperate poor person than someone who is fine. I'll also be watching Dumbledore like a hawk myself. Maybe we should!" he said unsurely as she leaned forward and pecked her lips gently a glow shining between the two of them as a letter appeared there seemingly from nowhere. It thoroughly surprised both of them who had not in any way seen this coming.

Descendant,

You have unlocked one of the true beauties of magic; magical love. Congratulations. You and your soul mate will now be able to communicate telepathically and see what the other person is seeing upon command just like I could with my husband Salazar. The books were wrong about him but by the time we had any free time to change them we were all dying so as you can that didn't happen. With the magic of loves true first kiss you will be impervious to mind charms and potions whihc mean you harm now. That is to say should anyone try to spike your food or drink with any kind of potion behind your back it will have no affect on you no matter what it is. You will eventually marry at a time of your own choosing. Here is where I must say something I don't like but you will see or hear the thoughts of the person you are destined to be with when it relates to sex and sexual thoughts about you. It is indeed very distracting but does go away mostly when you're married. Myself and Salazar found this very annoying and did marry at thirteen but then again times were times were different then (assuming that this letter reaches you many years later otherwise my comments will make no sense).

As you will no doubt know as magical people we mature sexually way faster then our muggle peers. You will now see what your partner desires to do to you and implore you here to see reason. Just because you see what they want to do to you it neither means they want to do it to you now or that you must do it at all. They merely want to do these things to you but you don't have to do such things if you do not. A healthy marriage is one with constant communication, discussion and feedback. Ask each other if something you've just done was good enough. Did you pleasure one another enough? If not what can you do better? What can you do better in life? Is there a way you can do something more efficiently? As a woman I speak from experience when I say do not ever ask your husband to do something if you are only going to criticize how he does it. I did this in my marriage and it was not good. Also do not say that you think it is ok for your husband to be doing something if it is not the case. Do not lie to him as it does not serve you well. To the husband the same thing applies. Never stop communicating and telling your story. You are so very special and lucky to have one another. Treat each other with love, kindness and understanding always and you will always have a healthy relationship. Carpe Diem. I wish you both a long and happy life together,

Signed,

Rowena Ravenclaw.

Damian and Hermione sat gaping at one another and blushing deeply at their thoughts about one another now. Damian couldn't stop thinking about how nice her bum had looked when she bent over earlier on and she couldn't stop thinking about wanting to sit on his lap and run her fingers through his hair. The letter burned itself and they removed the charms people having not really noticed they'd been away. Stretching out so his legs were touching hers made Damian feel oddly whole. It was an alien experience to them both. The trolley lady came along then pushing her cart as she asked them what they wanted. Hermione was thinking about a sugar quill and Damian fancied some peppermint toads himself.

"Yes I'll take two packets of sugar quills and two packets of peppermint toads!" he said as she handed them over and he paid for them. He handed the two eight pack sugar quills to a blushing Hermione.

Thank you Damian. You didn't need to do that for me although I can feel that you wanted to.

No problem. I knew you wanted one and so I bought one packet for now and one packet for at school too so your elf doesn't need to go and buy you some too often when she'll likely be busy doing other things for you.

The others were all eating except Ron. Ron felt like shit. He'd played wizards chess against them all or most of them and beaten them all but not even that could lift his spirits. He was supposed to meet Harry Potter and he had failed. His parents would be so mad at him! He'd not even been told why he needed to befriend Harry Potter so much. He was already so stressed out about starting school he didn't also need this extra stress and pressure on him. The train pulled into the station as they finished putting on their cloaks and they all headed out onto the platform. Professor Howard was happy he'd be taken straight to his room after Damian had been sorted. All in all it was a good if not eventful train journey.
