I don't own any characters except Serenity, and even then, her last name
belongs to the creator of the lovely books.
Hermione worked at the table in the Giffindor common room, helping Ginny with her potions homework. She smiled at the girl, and shook her head when Ginny hoped up to give Harry a hug. "We done, Gin?" "Yeah, I got it now, thanks." Ginny said from Harry's arms. "Hermione! You got an owl!" Ron came bounding into the common room, bearing a letter. He flipped it to her, with horrible aim, and she caught it with magic, levitating it to her. "Show Off." He said, and glanced at Harry and Ginny leaving the common room. "I don't like them dating. It's not natural."
"Don't be silly, Ron." She flipped it over to see the name, and let out a yelp. Ron walked over to her chair and looked at it with her.
"Who's Serenity Granger?" he drawled.
"My sister! She ran away when I was two... I get letters from her some time, but I really haven't seen her in that long."
"Well open it up."
She ripped it open, and out fell a necklace. It was pewter, a griffon, a serpentine dragon and a Pegasus holding a crescent moon bound on a leather band.
"WOW! That's neat... how'd she know to get a griffon?"
"I don't know, she doesn't know about Hogwarts." Hermione pulled out the letter, and opened it carefully.
Dearest Mi,
How are you? I wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you, and that a surprise is coming your way in about three weeks. I will not say any more, but your headmaster knows. Next time, dearest, tell me when you leave the muggle realm, I had the hardest time finding you. Send me an letter through this owl, Sel Meig knows how to find me.
Love always, Rini
"I thought she didn't know about Hogwarts." Ron mumbled, and went off to find Harry and make sure that his best friend wasn't snogging his little sister, while Hermione just looked at her letter. ~How does she know? ~ She thought, and then went to find Dumbledore.
Halfway there, she ran into Malfoy ravishing some girl's mouth on one of the staircases. "Your disgusting Malfoy. Get a room and get out of my way."
"What, mutblood, you jealous?"
"You wish."
She stalked past him, not seeming the grin on his face. She walked up to the great eagle, speaking the password softly. "Green Jellies"
Once in Dumbledore's office, she looked around for him. "Professor?" She walked up to his desk, eyes scanning over everything. Since she had read every book in her six years at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had offered her his personal library.
"Ms. Granger, how are you?" Dumbledore's painting spoke to her. "Sorry I am not here, had to make a trip to London. Anything I can help you with from here?"
"Ri... Serenity wrote me a letter. She knew a lot about the school... how?"
"One of the privately tutored, ones that went overlooked. We found her when she was sixteen, but lost her to America, then a good friend of mine found her, a tutored her in the art of wandless magic. We forbade her tell you until this time, and if you are wondering what is the surprise, I regret I am sworn to secrecy. Your sister wishes to help you, that is all I can say."
"The necklace, what does it mean? The griffon is me, but what about the Pegasus and the crescent moon?"
"That is also something you must discover for yourself. Now, I must get to a meeting." The painting went black, but not before she heard a slight chuckle from Dumbledore.
"Thanks a lot." She mumbled and walked away, the office closing behind her. When she entered the common room, she spotted Harry and Ron, talking with Ginny. Harry looked up and smiled at her, shaking his head as Ron and Ginny squabbled. "Percy's a traitor to our family, Ron."
"You've no reason to say that."
"Look at what he did to father, I won't ever trust him again."
Harry kissed Hermione on the cheek. "While those two are occupied, you want to talk about the letter you got?"
"Ron has a big mouth."
"He said you seemed stumped."
"So. It's family business, and Ron was just being nosy, as usual."
"But I am..."
"Harry, I don't want to talk about it. I am off to the library, I need to get the letter back down done. See you all at dinner."
She rushed off, leaving Harry with the arguing Weasleys. She walked toward the Giffindor common room, but turned sharply, going down a used hall. She stopped at a dead end, but then said, "Sere's Flame." And the painting of a tall dark haired woman holding a flame in her hand opened into a room for herself. Again, Dumbledore knew that she was going to need a place to study on her own, and showed her this room. She went to the window, and called out Sel Meig's name.
"Sorry for the change in location. I can never think around other people." She spook to the almost black owl. She went to the desk, and pulled out her quill and paper.
Rini,
I am doing well, though I am seriously nervous about my N.E.W.T.S.
coming up. How did you know about me? I know, you'll tell me later.
But I have to say that I am a little upset with you for not telling me
you knew of the wizarding world.
I love Hogwarts, more than home, though I would never tell mother
that. My friends, Harry and Ron and Ginny, are the best group of
people I could ask for. I really miss you, and I can't wait to see
you and talk to you, or hear from you.
Don't stop writing to me like you normally do. I love you.
Mi
P.S. what does that necklace mean?
Hermione folded the note up and slipped it into an envelope. She walked to the owl. "To my sister Serenity, Sel Meig." The owl took the letter and swooped off, leaving Hermione to start on her two-foot Potions essay.
