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

The day had arrived. Damian had asked Dory to check on all of his belongings. Were they all present and so on? They were of course he had no need to worry about it. 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. 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. She was told to just go with it whatever it happened to be.

Damian had decided he wanted to use the muggle entrance and had Dory 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.

"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 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!" Percy snapped at her clapping his hand against his own forehead in rage. She wasn't used to being talked down to.

"He's going to school Percy. I doubt he'll report me for an error. I was nervous about meeting Harry Potter our saviour and the boy who lived. Can you blame me for blundering a little bit? I was star struck. Don't worry about me Percy!" she said kissing his cheeks as he boarded the train. 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.

"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.

"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.

"Well my older twin brothers Fred and George like to joke and said we need to battle a troll to get in. 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.

"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.

"Yeah well I thought it was right. No need to be jerk about it Harry!" he said as Damian looked at him weirdly.

"I never said my name was Harry. Where the hell did you get that idea? I'm sorry you never asked me for my name and I forgot to give it to you. 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.

"His name is Ron but 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. 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 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 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 but if he was mentally and emotionally scarred as her parents had informed her wouldn't be in a book as that wouldn't sell copies things could be very different. She hadn't considered what kind of life he may have lived. He may not even know magic exists. 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 his knee as she grabbed it to support herself. As soon as she touched her 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 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.

"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. 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. They all jumped as there door was quickly 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 scam 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.

"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 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!" 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. 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. 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 taken some himself. I am sorry I couldn't tell you without the vow but it wasn't safe to do so" he said in his longwinded explanation as she sat there with her eyes wide, mouth opening and closing like a fish until she snapped out of it and slapped him across the face very hard.

"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 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.

"I am so sorry but at least you can understand why I did what I did. I really had 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.

"Oh shut up will you? I'm already embarrassed enough about my conduct. I can assure you I will be watching Dumbledore 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. 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. 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.

Ancestor,

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. With the magic of loves true first kiss you will be impervious to mind charms and potions now. 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). I wish you both a long and happy life together,

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 looked and she couldn't stop thinking about wanting to sit on his lap and run her fingers through her 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 thought one packet for now and one packet for at school too so your elf doesn't need to go and buy you some too much when she could be 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! 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 he'd been sorted. All in all it was a good if not eventful train journey.
