After lunch, the originals knew that they had to talk about certain things with Hermione. But none of them knew how to bring it up.

Hermione sensed that her family wanted to say something so she said "What's going on?"

Rebekah asked "What do you mean?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "I know that there is something you want to talk about. You're worried about how i'm going to react to whatever you have to say. I know that I have just met you yesterday, but I feel like I can talk to you about anything and I think that it's because you guys are my family. I feel more of a connection to you than I have ever felt with anyone. Nothing you say is gonna make me hate you. And I know you feel guilty about what happened all those years ago, it wasn't your fault. Everything that has happened was, maybe, supposed to happen. I was probably meant to be here, to help Harry defeat Voldemort. He had a prophecy and, maybe, I do to."

"Hermione... What do you want?" Hayley asked, tears were in her eyes as her daughter spoke. 'She believes she was destined to be here.' She thought.

"What do you mean?" The teen had a look of confusion on her face.

"Hermione, we live in New Orleans. That's our city..." Klaus paused as a look of understanding came across Hermione's face.

"You mean whether I want to move to New Orleans or not?" The vampires nodded. "I can't leave Harry to fend for himself. That boy would die without me if I was gone from his side for more than two hours, at most, when we're at school. I'm as much an important part of the war as he is, being muggleborn and his best friend. He might tell me to leave whilst I can but he knows I won't, even if I am forced to. Besides, I only have two years left at Hogwarts, and I want to complete my education. It's important to me. Me leaving is not an option at the moment." The Originals, besides Elijah, looked at her in shock. "Why are you guys staring at me like that?"

"You sounded like someone we know in Mystic Falls." Kol laughed.

"You reminded me of her when you spoke just then." Rebekah sounded shocked.

"Her name was Caroline Forbes. She was turned into a vampire at 16, only a few years ago. She was stubborn, full of light and would be an Alpha if she were a wolf. She was head cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, she was part of many committees and got amazing grades at school, despite everything that was thrown at her. She came out on top." Klaus said fondly.

"She turned down Nick several times, it was quite amusing." Rebekah told her with a smile.

"I didn't like her much. It's a long story which involved the bloody Lockwood boy." Hermione got the feeling that the boy done something bad by the looks on everyone's faces.

Davina watched the exchanges in silence. She felt like she wanted to meet this Caroline girl, 'It might be interesting to hear her side of things.' With that thought she turned to Hermione and asked "Are you going to tell your friends about you and us? Don't you have to inform the teachers or something?"

Hermione winced at the thought of hearing Molly argue about this. "I'm going to have to." Before anyone could say anything more, Crookshanks jumped up on the sofa his owner was on, with a piece of parchment in his mouth and a quill, he overheard the conversation. The girl reached over to the draws next to her sofa and grabbed a bottle of ink from the top draw, before grabbing the parchment and quill from the cat and started writing to Dumbledore.

The others looked at the cat in question. "What's wrong with it's face?" Kol asked quietly.

"It looks like it ran face first into a brick wall." Davina commented.

"How did it know she needed a piece of paper and a feather?" Rebekah wondered.

"We don't know much about animals in the wizarding world Rebekah. Perhaps we should ask our niece once she has finished her task." Elijah suggested.

Within a few minutes, Hermione had finished writing and went to the garden with the others following. She called out "Athena!" and a large brown owl came swooping down to her arm. "Give this to Dumbledore as fast as you can." And with that said, the owl flew off with the letter in it's beak.

"Back in the days, people used pigeons instead of owls." Elijah remembered. "Very messy business."

The siblings snorted in response.


It only took two hours for the letter to reach the headmaster as their was an order of the Phoenix meeting at Grimmauld Place. Molly was at the Burrow with the kids, Arthur would fill her in on what was going on. Fred and George joined the order right after the school year, much to their mother's dismay, so they were sitting with their older brothers and listening intently.

The owl interrupted the meeting by pecking at the window, much to Moody's annoyance. The twins knew who the owl belonged to. "Hermione has a letter for Dumbledore." They called out as they saw the name on the envelope.

Dumbledore opened the window with a wave of his wand and the owl landed on the table in front of him. "Can we get on with the meeting Albus? You can read the letter later." Moody said gruffly.

"And if there was something wrong and she's in danger?" Sirius and Remus asked rhetorically.

Dumbledore read the letter and stated "We must get to Miss Granger's house. There has been a development."

The rest of the order paled at what he could mean and stood up instantly. They all left quickly but made sure nothing important was left behind.


Davina and Hermione talked about their magic and what was different, whilst Kol added his own input.

Rebekah was sat on the floor playing with Crookshanks happily. Klaus and Elijah watched their sister in amusement, having not seen this side of her for hundreds of years.

Hayley, on the other hand, was looking through Hermione's school books and results for exams, both muggle and magical. She was filled with so much pride but also sadness, knowing that they would have been celebrating these achievements if she hadn't have been taken.

There was a large cracking sound, startling everyone, mostly the Originals and Davina.

Hermione ran to the window and saw the Order outside coming out of the alley way and towards the house. "It's just The Order members. They must have been in a meeting when the got my letter."

"Is the cracking sound normal?" Rebekah asked from her place on the floor.

"It's the sound of apparating. You can learn to do it silently but it takes quite a bit of practice." The teen answered before running to open the door when it knocked.

McGonagall and Hermione asked eachother security questions they know the real them would know the answer to. The sixteen year old opened the door wider and allowed the group to come in.

"Are you ok?" Tonks asked worriedly.

"I'm fine physically and hopefully mentally. But something has happened." She told the female auror.

"Like what?" Snape asked with annoyance.

She pointed towards the living room and the group entered the room to find "Everyone meet the Originals and their friend Davina, a ancestral witch." The wizards and witches snapped their heads to look at Hermione.

Kingsley questioned her "Why are the first family of vampires here?"

"Because she is our daughter." Klaus spoke up and stepped forward with Hayley. "She was taken a month after she was born and was adopted by the Granger's."

"We couldn't track her down till a few days ago, Davina helped us." Hayley told them.

"They saved me last night." Hermione said quietly.

Moody asked "What do you mean?"

"My 'parents' took me to a cemetery last night where several ancestral witches tried to sacrifice me. I'd be dead right now if they hadn't gotten there in time."

The family explained everything to the group, including Hermione being a Tribrid.

"Our little Gryffindor Princess..." George started

"Is a Tribrid?" Fred finished the question.

The both commented "Awesome!"

The others were too shocked to say anything. Snape was paler than usual though as he thought 'I basically bullied the girl who is actually the daughter of the Original Hybrid, who was known to kill people who dared went against his family, this is more terrifying than being in the presence of the dark lord.'
