There's a darkness inside everyone, no matter how good or pure someone seems its always there. For some its easy to ignore, for others its a wonderful temptation but for others its their very blood.
Hermione Granger has always felt a sort of darknes...

She sat and watched as people began shouting their objections with a look of indifference. Honestly does it matter if Killian's dad was Grindelwald? Merlin sake her father is Voldermort not that many people knew but still. She hadn't killed anyone yet so who's to say he isn't the same? Hearing who Killian was related just made Cynthia more attracted to him, he would understand her more than Draco could on that front. yet saying that she did love Draco...
Harry stayed quiet and just observed Killian his emerald eyes assessing him. He slowly nodded before standing up, Cynthia quickly stood up as well ready to defend Harry if needed. Just more proof that her friendship with Harry wasn't false. Killian and Valkyrie stared at the two of them but Harry said nothing he merely grabbed Cynthia's hand and they walked out the hall with everyone's eyes on them.
They walked out to the black lake and sat by the bank looking over to calm waters. "You OK Harry?" She asked with concern and Harry nodded "yeah I'm just tired of everyone being judged on their family. For crying out loud no one has a perfect family and not everyone is like their family!! For Merlin sake Cynthia Riddle could be a lovely and sweet girl!" Harry ranted and she knew what she had to do. "Harry come with me I have to show you something."
She grasped his hand and lead him into the forest into a small clearing about fifty meters inside. "I know who Cynthia Riddle is." She confessed and Harry looked shocked "Who is she Mione?" Cynthia closed her eyes and felt her magic surround her, she grew a few inches, her curves became more defined. Her hair become smoother and darker, her eyes swirled gold and green. When she opened her eyes Harry's jaw was dropped. "Mione... Mione you are Cynthia?" he stuttered and she nodded. "I...I found out when I went to see Madam Pomfrey I just didn't know how to tell you!" she confessed, tears falling down her face.
Harry didn't miss a beat he just embraced her, his head resting on her dark hair. "Shhh it's OK your still my best friend, I don't care what anyone else says I have your back always." he told her causing Cynthia to laugh. "However is it OK if for now I still call you Mione?" He asked and she nodded "Of course Harry besides I still need to wrap my head around everything before I tell the school." Harry pulled away and stared at into her eyes, they were now so similar to his. Hell they could probably pass as sibling both having dark hair, pale skin and the eyes however hers had gold swirls while his were just straight emerald. "We could probably pass for siblings now." he joked causing Cynthia to grin "We could couldn't we?"
The two sat down, their legs intertwined along with their hands. To outsiders they probably looked like a couple however to them they were brother and sister. Both of them united in the love they shared. "Mione do you think your dad will still try to kill me?" Harry asked and Cynthia gritted her teeth "I won't let him, he maybe my father and I know he loves me from the memories I have of him, however in the grand scheme of things I've known you longer. You are my brother and best friend, he'll have to kill me to get you." She told him her eyes filled with conviction. Harry smiled at her, resting his head against hers. "I would die before then Mione, if saving you meant giving myself over for slaughter I would do it without hesitation."
"That was cute." a voice told them and they turned to see Killian Grindelwald leaning against a tree near them. "Mr Potter, Miss Riddle what an honour." He walked over and sat in front of them, Harry tensed up ready to fight if needed however Killian just raised an eyebrow. "Relax I came to talk." He told them with a soft smile. Cynthia stared at him before she looked at Harry and nodded. He instantly relax, slightly dropping his guard. Killian caught this and he smiled "Thats good. You both need someone you can trust. I understand that currently Mr Potter is the only Gryffindor that knows of your real identity, the other simply know you as Hermione Granger." Cynthia smirked he was good, sharp and clearly looking to earn their trust.
"He's good isn't he Harry?" She mussed aloud, Harry nodded "Let me guess the new defence teacher?" Harry asked and Killian nodded "Very good Mr Potter of course my lessons will start in about a month after the students have warmed up to the idea of me being the son of Grindelwald." Cynthia smiled "Don't worry that was nothing compared to what my identity reveal will cause. The golden girl turns out to be the dark princess." Harry smiled "You've never been a golden girl." he joked.
Cynthia laughed "Indeed especially with all the rule breaking we've done." Killian looked interested so they told him their story. He smiled and laughed along with them and even told them some of his stories, along with pieces of advice and wisdom. They were all smiles when lunch came around and they heard a voice shouting Harry's name. Harry quickly stood up "I'll kept them away while you change back Mione." He told her and he began to walk away before stopping "Oh and by the way you look amazing as your true self." Cynthia smiled as he disappeared from view.
"You know that he will follow you into hell if that was were you wanted to go." Killian told her from beside her. She smiled "And I would do the same for him." Killian nodded. Cynthia noticed a small scar that was on his jaw, she also noticed how much more attractive he was up close. He towered over her as well, more than what Draco did. Killian sighed "This war is going to be devastating, you need to be careful as to what side you join. The war right now is waiting for you to reveal yourself and your allegiance." Cynthia frowned "My allegiance is where it has been for the past six years, with Harry. Whether that means we fight for Dumbledore, my father and someone else is yet to be seen. But wherever he goes I go."
Killian nodded and they stared into each others eyes, an understanding flowing through them. They were the same yet different, both of their fathers were monsters but they weren't however they both knew they could snap at any moment and be even worse than their parents. They were also both physically attracted to one another yet their hearts lay with other people. So Cynthia broke eye contact and transformed once again to the bushy haired Hermione Granger.
