Chapter 5

(Hermione P.O.V)

Eight days after I had woken up from the fight the six of us were just mucking round. We'd decided to have a couple of days rest to celebrate our successful campaign. We were playing a game of tag, and currently Fred was it. I know, I know, it was childish, but we were trying to relax. I was glad I'd started it by tagging Harry and then jumping into the pool. The guys had now loosened up.

Suddenly both Fred and George stopped. Harry, Draco, Blaise and I stopped to look at them. When Fred and George came out of their shared vision I looked into their heads. I saw a large group of people. Three of them were so obviously mutants, and another two I recognised. The whole group were standing and facing Dumbledore and a large group of Wizards and Witches.

"Uncle E." I breathed quietly so that no one would hear me, not even Harry. I jumped out of the pool and grabbed a towel. I ran out and to my room, leaving the boys stunned.

I quickly dried off, and changed into a pair of black jeans, a black and red fitted top and a black coat that was fitted and flared out at my waist, and went down to my knees. I put on a pair of Black combat boots and ran from my room, and the house as the boys came from the pool room.

"Mione!" They called.

I pulled up my hood, so that my face was covered. I apparated to a point that was three streets away from the place in the twin's vision. I used my power and pushed myself up to the roof of a building and began running and jumping from roof to roof. When I reached the right street I arrived in time to see Uncle Erick's group arrive. I also recognised Charlie.

(No P.O.V)

As Magneto walked down the street he picked up a poster that held the picture of Albus Dumbledore on it. Th caption read;

Dumbledore!

Our Greatest Hope!

He handed it to Charles. "It looks like he's gaining publicity." Charles said, looking at it.

"It looks like he's getting big headed." Magneto muttered.

Charles smiled. "Well, there's a good chance he'll help us. Last I heard, he was fighting against people like Voldemort. The chances are, he can help us find Hermione."

There were several cracks, as Dumbledore and several others appeared.

"Hello Albus." Erick greeted.

"Erick Lencherr. And Charles Xavier too. You have a lot of nerve, coming to Britain."

"May I ask why?" Erick asked.

"Well, you are mutants, aren't you?" The wizards and witches raised their wands, so did Dumbledore.

(Hermione P.O.V)

How dare they raise their wands to my only remaining family? He'd killed my parents, and now he was going to kill Uncle Erick too? Not if I could help it!

"Murderer!" I roared. I whipped out my wand and started firing hexes and curses of all sorts.

When they started firing back, after recovering from the shock, I used my mutation to throw up a shield. All the spells were deflected back at the casters. I jumped off the roof, flipped, and used a shield to lower myself to the ground as I kept firing spells. I landed on the ground in a crouched position just as a spell flew over my head, and the disturbed air blew my hood back, revealing my face.

"I'll kill you Dumbledore!" I yelled. "And I won't let you kill anyone else in my family!" I was in a rage, and only after it came out did I realise my mistake.

I saw as it dawned on Dumbledore that I had a family member in the group of mutants. He and several others turned on the group. I moved quickly, placing myself in-between the two groups, just as several green curses, the killing curse, were fired from the wizard's wands. I threw up the strongest shield I had.

I pushed my mental barriers as hard as I could. The curses started to slow, but they weren't rebounding like the others had. I managed to stop them, and hold them in place. The group started shifting uncomfortably and muttering. Only Dumbledore seemed unfazed.

I felt something warm trickle down from my nose, and into my nose. The coppery taste informed me that it was blood. Dumbledore once again raised his wand.

"NO!" I cried. I pushed with everything I had in me, and sent all the curses flying backwards. Dumbledore and a few others apparated away in time, but quite a few weren't so lucky, they got hit.

As I dropped the shield, I collapsed to the ground, only to be caught by someone. I looked up to see Erick.

"Hey Uncle Erick." I said weakly. Then, I blacked out.

(No P.O.V)

No one had expected to be attacked by someone both the Professor and Magneto thought of as an ally. And no one had expected Magneto's niece to turn up and save them!

So the mutants all expected that there would be no more surprises, at least for that night, when there were several cracks. Looking up from his niece, Magneto saw five young men, wands drawn. One of them, he recognised from when Hermione had been fighting those wizards before.

"What the hell did you do to Hermione?" One of the boys demanded.

"I assure you, we did nothing to Hermione. We wouldn't harm her. In fact, if it wasn't for her, some of us would probably be dead." Magneto answered.

"She saved you?" Another one, one of the twins, asked.

"How didn't we see that?" The other asked.

"What happened then?" The first boy asked the twins.

"Well, we saw Dumbledore talking to them, but then the vision cut off." They answered in union.

"Vision?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, seeing the future. We saw you lot talking to Dumbledore and then Hermione just took off." One of the twins answered.

"Well, that explains how she turned up." Logan grunted.

A whine came from an alley and a large black dog padded out of the shadows. The five boys turned their wands on the dog.

"What are you doing here Sirius?" The first boy demanded.

In a second, the dog had transformed into a man. "Harry," He said, holding his hands up. "I'm not here to hurt you, or anyone else for that matter. I'm on your side."

"You're a member of Dumbledore's Order Sirius. And we're mutants. How do you think this is looking?" The first boy, obviously Harry, said harshly.

"Harry, you know how I differ from my families ideals. And they were firmly against mutants. I however, am not. James, Remus and I were all for mutant rights. Especially after James married your mother."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"It's where you get your powers from Harry. Your mother was a mutant. We hid her powers from the rest of the wizarding world. When you were born, we knew that you were going to be a mutant. We placed a block on your powers until you were away from any wizards who would harm you for it. It's why it took so long for your powers to surface. Dumbledore had plans to let you fall into Voldemorts hands- there was no Order guard outside your house."

"You blocked my powers?"

"Your mother's request. I swear on my magic that everything I've said to you tonight is true. So mote it be."

"Well, he's still standing." The blonde boy said.

"I'm on your side, not Dumbledore's. And what in Merlin's name happened to Hermione?"

"She threw up some sort of telekinetic shield to stop a load of green spells." Jean said. "She reflected them all and collapsed."

"Hang on a second, a load of green spells?" Sirius asked incredulously. "But that's impossible! There is no shield in existence that can stop the killing curse!"

"There obviously is." Magneto said, motioning to Sabertooth who came over and picked Hermione up off the ground. "And Hermione can use it."

"I think it's best if we go." The second dark haired boy said. "So we'll just take Hermione and be on our way."

"Actually, I think you'll find Hermione is staying with us. After her mother died, she left her care to me." Magneto said.

"How do you know Hermione's parents are dead?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Would someone care to explain what's going on?" Sirius asked.

"Later Sirius." Harry replied, not taking his eyes off Magneto.

"I received a video message several hours ago. Jane, my niece and Hermione's mother, recorded it so that in the event of her death I would be able to look after Hermione."

"You're related to 'Mione?" the twins asked in union.

"I'm her great Uncle."

"Well, that explains why she took off." The twins replied.

"What are we going to do now?" The other dark haired boy said.

"I don't know." Harry admitted. "Hermione's out. We can't take them back to base. There's no way of telling them."

"I don't trust them." The blonde boy said. "At least, not until Hermione verifies they're safe."

"We have a jet. Not to far away." Charles said. "We can stay there, until Hermione wakes up."

"The five teenagers looked at each other and then nodded.

"Then it's settled. We'll head to the jet." Charles said.

As they were heading back the way the X-Men and Brotherhood mutants had come, Sirius said;

"You've got a lot to explain, Harry."

When at the jet Sabertooth placed Hermione on one of the long side seats of the jet. Jean quickly started examining her for any real damage. Finding none, she just declared Hermione to be exhausted. So, they set up tents just in case they would be there a while.

The Brotherhood, X-Men and Sirius had been listening to the stories of Harry, the Twins, Draco and Blaise for a while, and had just gotten to the part of the attack on the ministry building when Scott went to get something from the jet. They decided to continue while he left.

All of a sudden there was a loud 'Bang!' and an "Ow!" from the inside of the jet.

The large group rushed into the jet to see Hermione sitting up and Scott against the wall, rubbing the back of his head.

"What the-?" Jean began.

"Do you throw everyone who asks if you're alright across the room?" Scott groaned.

"You startled me. And who are you anyway?" Hermione demanded.

"He's one of the X-Men my dear." Erick said.

Hermione looked round. "Uncle Erick!" she said and she ran over and hugged him.

(Hermione P.O.V)

"Uncle Erick!" I said happily, running to him and giving him a hug. I hadn't seen him since I was ten!

"It's good to see you again Hermione." He said to me.

"Still got that dorky helmet then Uncle E?" I asked, pulling back and looking at it. I heard someone snigger. "You do know it doesn't work right?"

"Oh really?"

"Yep, I always could get through it." I said smugly. He laughed.

"What did I tell you Charles? She is more powerful than you." Erick said. I rolled my eyes, and looked to the guy I'd used my telekinesis on. I suddenly felt guilty.

"Sorry about that." I said sheepishly. "But you did startle me. I don't do well with surprises."

"Yeah, try being on the receiving end of her stinging hexes." I heard the voice of Fred Weasley say.

"Don't do well? I'm still getting over that Ricktesempra!" George said at the same time.

I looked round to see the five boys I viewed as my brothers and also Sirius.

"Err…" I trailed off at the sight of the marauder.

"He's on our side Hermione." Harry said.

"Well, that's good." I said, smiling at Sirius.

"It's good to see you seem to be alright Hermione." Sirius said. "And I'm enjoying hearing of your exploits. Good first choice of target, may I say."

"Thanks." I said, smirking.

"Yes, we've been told that you've been busy." Erick said.

"Perhaps we should take this discussion somewhere a bit more private." Harry said.

"Right." I said. Telepathically, I let the others know the address of where we were staying. "Now you'll be able to get in."

I watched as most of the others hurried round, gathering things together, before everyone latched onto a magical, and we apparated away to Potter manor.
