October
I've set a routine over the months I wake up and grab my clothes before running to the perfect's bathroom to shower and get dressed, I've made friends with the ghost haunting the bathroom.
Myrtle says she was killed in the stall and that her only friend was blamed she hates the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws.
When I came in she flooded the bathroom yelling and throwing stuff around, eventually she
stopped and let me explain but only because when I blocked a stone she seen my rings.
I always thought it was Riddle like my name, but she said the heir is Gaunt or Slytherin she knew my father as a student he was older then her but befriended her, he would teach and protect her.
One day she and father was removing something from under the sink but Gryffindor came in attacking him, whatever it was lashed out and she got caught in its gaze.
I think she was in love with him she tells me about things he did as a student, although I could have lived without the knowledge of her presenting earlier then anyone else I never knew that was possible, she was 13 and my dad helped while others took her to the ROR and put her in it, after some of the other sixth and seventh years noticed her and was getting aggressive trying to reach her.
He and other Slytherins Alphas and Betas fought them back while the Omegas got her in the
ROR to hide and taught her spells to help with her sudden heat.
She said the two who attacked them were Gryffindor, she repeated some of the things that they said about her during the fight like her being a trollop and how she she needs to learn
Gryffindor can give it better then Slytherin.
It took me a moment to understand what that meant but once I did I felt sick, in the late 60's Dumbledore had to ban certain practices but he's never really enforced it on anyone unless they're Slytherin.
She says Lord Malfoy nearly killed a Hufflepuff boy when Lady Malfoy was attacked by him, it caused her to lose their child, the only reason he didn't get in more trouble was because they had mated and marked each other, he was allowed to react how he seen fit for the crime.
"Hey I filled the tub" I hear Myrtle coo circling around my head.
Glancing up I smile before quickly getting in and laying back in the water with my eyes closed relaxing, hearing her fake coughing I glance seeing she's shaking her head like she dived in.
"You know your dramatic right?" I ask seeing her swimming around.
"Me? Never" she answers with a dramatic swooning motioning "have you given any thought to what I asked?" She suddenly asks floating above me.
"About me adding your name on mine?" I ask.
"Yes, I have the information still, Your dad planned to do it with me to make me his sister it's a type of blood magic that would add my blood to your line"
Frowning I glance to the side "would it change who my parents and grandparents are?" I ask.
"No, it would be like I'm his half sister still, it wouldn't change your parents just would add me to it like a relative that's passed away"
"Can I study this spell first before I decide?" I ask.
"Of course"
A few hours later
Coming out of the girls bathroom I move to the sink cleaning my face only to notice the ground shaking.
Looking up I swallow seeing a troll raising it's club, backing to the stall I drop down crawling
along the floor as it smashes the stalls.
Feeling porcelain cutting me before I'm dangling in the air I scream feeling my magic lash out, then a think warm liquid on my just before I hit the ground smacking my head.
Groaning I see multiple feet come into view before I black out.
Hearing whispering I groan feeling my head pounding "oh blood hell, shut your traps" I grunt covering my ears.
Hearing a clicking and sucking sound I open my eye slightly seeing pale blue robes "I swear
on Rowena's perky tits, if you do not stop the infernal clacking from your bloody lemon drops I will put you through the Merlin forsaken wall" I snap.
"All students were ordered back to their rooms"
"News flash but I wasn't informed seeing as I was in the restroom cleaning myself up after I was attacked again, I'm sure it slipped your fucking mind seeing as I'm not Gryffindor or Potter" I snap.
"You were attacked?" I hear Flitwick asks before feeling his small hand on mine.
"Yes, but what's the point of reporting it, the headmaster will call it a harmless prank" I grunt, I can't take my anger out on him, he's been trying and can't help that Dumbledore's word is final.
Sitting up I grab my head ignoring Madame Pomfrey helping me stay up when I sway, at this point I have absolutely no Respect for anyone Gryffindor except maybe McGonagall because she's harsh but fair in her judgement.
"I already know it goes so let's get this over with, Gryffindor attacked me so go award them points, double it since I know you hate me just because of my eyes" I grunt before looking at Dumbledore "what's wrong headmaster? Does seeing familiar eyes everyday worry you, maybe remind you of someone you took advantage of" I snap.
Seeing him glare at me I lift my hand pointing at him "I blame you Albus Dumbledore for the abuse I felt at home from my aunt and the continued abuse at school, may everything you have caused come back ten fold on you, may your magic fail you when you need it most".
Seeing the flash of light I shake standing up "As the only sane Bagshot, I declare you an enemy, no longer will our families be considered friends we will no longer hold your secrets, you are no longer welcome around us or our homes I banish you Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore" I hiss seeing another flash before I pass out again.
Waking up again I glance to the window seeing it's dark, seeing movement I look at it seeing
Madame Pomfrey coming with Potions "you should have came in before this" she says softly.
Grunting I shrug "you had old injuries that should have been treated by a healer" she adds.
"You nearly drained your magic core with what did, how you're awake now is beyond me"
"It's not the first time I've done that I recover faster each time at this point a few hours of sleep and I'm awake but tired"
Taking the Potions she offers I smell it noticing it's for pain and down it "a letter came for you the owl has been waiting for you to take it as it won't allow anyone else to get it".
Frowning I see an owl asleep on the table, clicking my tongue a few times it opens it's eyes blinking slowly before franticly flapping it's wings landing by me.
Frowning I look at it confused by the bright blue eyes and blonde feathers, feeling it press against me I reach up petting it before making eye contact.
Feeling myself fall into its mind I raise my brows seeing myself and Lady Malfoy while she was finding me clothes.
Being pulled to another memory I see Lucius transfigure her into an owl before giving her a letter.
Coming to another I see myself in the bed and the owl pecking Madame Pomfrey for trying to take the later, I hear her trying to reason with it before giving up "okay, but you have to wait until she wakes up so let her sleep" she warns sternly.
Coming out I smile blushing slightly "hi daffodil" I whisper.
Feeling her beak on my forehead making a clicking sound I smile "that owl is very affectionate to you, is it yours?" Madame Pomfrey asks smiling slightly.
"No, she a friend she's been like this since I met her" I answer unsure if that would work.
Seeing Owl Narcissa offer her leg I take the letter opening it with her on my lap, seeing a letter passing guardianship of me to my God mother's family I glance at her confused.
She uses her beak to grab the corner a few times before I see she's showing there's more,
switching the pages I see a letter detailing an accounts of why from Aunt Bathilda claiming she's to old and feels I'd be better cared for with a family environment with access to children my age.
Swallowing I look at the owl feeling conflicted because I need to know why she doesn't want it love me anymore but I feel relieved I'm out of her care and never have to go back to that place.
Next day
Getting up I bite my lip seeing Narcissa left but I'm not alone since Draco sits by my bed, hearing a familiar tapping I glance up feelings nervous at seeing Aunt Bathilda being led in by Lord Malfoy.
Her eyes lock on me and I drop my gaze down if I didn't know better I'd swear she was an Alpha and not a Beta.
"Look at me" she orders, frowning I slowly look up that wasn't the hateful voice I've grown use to but its firm and clear she expects to be obeyed, it's what I remember before she changed.
"Aunt Bathilda" I greet avoiding eye contact.
Feeling my chin grabbed I tense before feeling her forehead against mine and glance seeing
her eyes closed "I am sorry for how I have been I tried to resist the curse but wasn't strong
enough, Lord Malfoy came and spoke with me he noticed it and got me help, I'm placing you in his Lady wife's care for your safety I will be moved to a different house and will see you when you are ready I named you my heir years ago but never gave you the ring because of the spell, everything that's mine belongs to you now" she whispers before pressing her head of house ring to my hand.
She straightens up glaring at Dumbledore "from this moment forward Lord and Lady Malfoy
are her guardians should they failed to be informed of any problems as I was I'm sure Lord
Malfoy can handle it since he is part of the school board" she hisses.
"Hermione, escort your Aunt out and Draco, escort them both" Lord Malfoy says.
Glancing at Madame Pomfrey she nods and I get up offering my arm to Aunt Bathilda as Draco walks near us giving us space while watching us.
After a moment she sighs not looking at me "I never wanted to hurt you Hermione, under the curse I couldn't stop it but I found away around it I thought you everything I could to keep you safe here, I do not expect forgiveness for what I've done not do I expect you to trust me but know I am proud of you and I love you Hermione, should you choose to accept your middle name again I pray you do so proudly like I was the day your mother honored me with my name on you".
Swallowing I nod not speaking till we reach the gate, looking at her I fight back a flinch when she strokes my cheek before kissing my forehead "Hermione Bathilda Grindelwald Riddle, you are my pride and legacy, I never had children myself but I seen your mother as my child and you as my granddaughter".
