HARRY POTTER STORY: Lions in snake den

Part 8

After hearing what Draco said both Hermione and Harry where as stiff as a statue they where looking at each other and ultimately contemplating where they should tell the two Slytherins the truth but before they could say anything Daphne spoke "So are you two together or something similar" once Daphne said that the siblings looked at each other and decide that it was best to tell them after all they where going to announce it when they where in the great hall "judging by how quite you to are both being I'm going to assume that I'm right" Daphne said.

Draco was about to say something but it was then when Harry stood up and put up a concealing charm so no one would be able to hear what was about to be said "No we aren't together" once Harry said this both Draco and Daphne looked puzzled if they weren't together why in the world was Granger reading a book that was by James Potter not only was it by Harry's farther but it was mostly likely in either a vault of the Potter's or in a property that the Potters owned "Well if your not together then Potter what are you brother and sister" Draco said sarcastically as soon as Draco said that Harry looked towards Hermione and he simply nodded.

"Wait you are brother and sister" Draco said again shocked at the revelation "Yes we are brother and sister to be honest we found out a couple of weeks ago after we did are inheritance tests and what we found out shocked us both in more ways then on" after saying this Harry then went onto talk about what happened between the two of them and Ron not only that but also what has been happening thought their time at Hogwarts their was some details that Harry and Hermione missed out those where the lines that they where set to have as they didn't want to give out to much information but still enough to give the two Slytherin's a comfortable answer once Harry and Hermione finished what they had to say as well as how Hogwarts has treaded them.

Draco decided to speak whilst Daphne had a note pad ready to right everything down "so let me get this right, the two of you where separate when you weren't supposed to, you (pointing at Harry) didn't know who you or parents where until you turned 11 and you (pointing at Hermione) had you memories altered to believe you where a muggleborn (they both nodded) after enrolling at Hogwarts you found the Philosophers Stone which was guarded by a Cerberus and Quirrell was possessed by the Dark Lord, In second year the rumours about you being the heir of Slytherin was actually true and you fought a 59ft basilisk which you have yet to claim and last year the reason why Black was after you was in fact to get revenge on someone else as he could have never harmed you due to him being your Godfather by blood? And to top everything off you both found out that your are in fact Pureblood's, did I get all that right" Once Draco finished what he was saying it was then when Hemione said "Pretty much yes".

Once everything was said and done Harry put down the concealing charm to discuss something else as Daphne wrote everything down she also made sure to make a sharp note to tell this to her father as this information could become quite beneficial in the future, not long after everything that happened there was a knock on the compartment it was Draco who decided to stand and open it.

"So you finally found where we were, took you long enough" Draco calm said to the people outside "Well we wouldn't have to if you decided to not see us where almost at Hogwarts." ??? Shouted "Could you get any louder" ??? Said to the other person "rather standing outside and being a pair of idiots do you two care to come in our compartment" Draco said

Both nodded and entered behind Draco but once the got in they where dumbstruck it took a couple of seconds for the two to regain themselves, "Draco why are you and Daphne in a compartment with Potter and Granger" ??? Said with slight disgust at the end "Well Theo if you must know Daphne and I where looking for a compartment and found these two alone without the Weasel we came to an agreement that we would sit together and talk, however I must correct a certain word in your sentence as there is no one called Granger in this compartment"

Theo was fine with the answer Draco gave him put when he said Granger was not here he thought that Draco was losing a couple of cells as she was sitting right be side Daphne "what do you mean she is not here Draco she is sitting and reading right next to Daphne for crying out loud" ??? Practically shouted Draco then looked to Harry so he could answer after all he is her family, after seeing Draco look at him Harry knew he wanted him to tell everything so before speaking Harry again put up the concealing charm "Well Mr.Zabini what Draco here is saying is that Mrs.Granger no longer exists gentlemen this is my sister Hermione Potter" After saying this both Theo and Blaise had the mouths wide open due to the shock again once collecting themselves they asked for the details of everything and so Harry and Hermione had to explain everything once again.

After finally telling Theo and Blaise about them and their adventures they decided that for the rest of the journey that they would all have small talk, the train was almost nearing Hogwarts as such the four boys decided to leave to a different compartment to change into their robes and at the same time Hermione and Daphne did the same, once all six students where changed they then grabbed the trunks to them walk towards where the doors would open. "Hermione come on the train is about to stop" Harry said as he was about to leave "Don't worry Harry I just need to back a few things I'll meet you in five minutes" Harry gave Hermione a nod of the head and walked down Hermione did what she done but a few books away but also grabbed a glass jar with a small beetle one she was done she headed off to join Harry.

15 minutes later

Harry and Hermione where finally back at Hogwarts however rather then sitting next to Ron like they usually do they decided to sit next to Neville "Harry, Hermione how was your summer Neville decided to ask as the sorting was going on" it was Hermione who decided to speak and say "It was alright but at the same time quite eventful"

By hearing the word eventful Neville started to ramble saying "Was it anything bad or did something crazy happen" as he was rambling Harry put a hand on his shoulder and said "Neville nothing bad happened however me and Hermione will reveal what happened soon" happy with what Harry said Neville just nodded his head. Once the new first years where sorted Dumbledore rose and started a speech.

"Welcome one and all to another year at Hogwarts now before you all enjoy the feat I have a few announcements to make first all fourth year student will be resorted" after saying that every student was shouting Gryffindors more then any others "QUITE! Yes fourth years will be resorted this is due to many factors one being when you age so does your personality and so let us begin" he then looked to Professor McGonagall who had a list of the fourth year students and proceeded to go down the list not many people changed but then it got to the P's and McGonagall's face went somewhat confused but never the less she had to continue the she said "Harry Potter"

Harry for the second time sat down in the chair and was talking to the sorting hat "well well well how have you been Mr. potter" "Quite well thanks hat so where am I set to go" "well just like last time it is down to two Gryffindor or Slytherin however after learning about what Dumbledork is doing as well as the Weasley and let's not forget about that heritage and oh speaking to other Slytherins like their allies I think you already know are you okay with that" Harry was silent for a moment but the longer he thought about it maybe it was for the best for him to be in Slytherin and so he came to a conclusion everyone in the great hall was anxious as they all thought that the sorting hat would simple say Gryffindor all of a sudden the hat spoke "well then Mr.Potter it better be Slytherin!!!" Everyone in the hall had a gaping mouth Harry Potter the Harry Potter Gryffindor golden boy was resorted into the snake pit the teacher's where also thinking the same way too McGonagall quickly snapped out of it and proceeded to read on "Hermione Potter" once saying this Hermione stud up and everyone was questioning what Harry's and Hermione's relationship was Hermione took the same amount of time as Harry but it all came to a close when the hat shouted "better be Slytherin!!!" After getting up and sitting by Harry everyone was utterly shocked to the core as time passed everyone else was sorted but no one changed apart from those two.
