The next morning was quite eventful.  The Grey Rebels were scrambling in their dorm, preparing to make a good first impression as their true identities.  Daphne and Blaise were also there; Daphne helping the girls, and Blaise helping, mainly Neville.

After an hour of getting ready, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville were finally ready to go.  As they walked down the stairs of their bedrooms to the living room in their dorm, Hermione scoffed at the sight of Hadrian sprawled casually on one couch, reading some black book with no title.

"Hadrian!" Hermione said in a tone that warned everyone of an oncoming lecture.

"What did I do this time, Hermione?" Hadrian asked sighing, as he sat upright, swinging his leg off the couch, and standing.

"We all had the decency to at least try to leave a good impression, while you don't even do anything!" Hermione reprimanded, annoyed even more to see Hadrian simply shrug.

"I believe by outfit is satisfactory, Hermione." Hadrian responded lazily.

"What do you mean!  We all took care to look nice, and you're just wearing ripped jeans with a thin, long sleeved white shirt.  We may not be wearing ball gowns and dress shoes, but at least we're wearing some accessories!"  Hermione rebutted.

"You seem to forget Hermione.  I'm also wearing quite a few accessories, even some permanent ones."  Hadrian said, rolling up his long sleeved shirt to reveal a few grey tattoos, and licking his lips, attracting attention towards his lip piercing and barely showing his tongue piercing.

Hermione was about to say something, but Ginny interrupted her saying, "It's the best you're going to get Hermione, just drop it."  Hermione huffed in response, but decided to stay quiet.

And much to Hermione's chagrin, Blaise decided to add in his own two cents.  "I think Hadrian looks fine.  He's already probably going to be the most pursued boy in Hogwarts after everyone sees him."  Daphne internally scowled at that prospect.

"Great.  Now that's over.  Let's go." Hadrian clipped, obviously not pleased with Blaise's last remark.

The Great Hall immediately silenced when the Grey Rebels walked in, and many were curious to find two slytherins, Blaise and Daphne with them.  However, they were all cloaked in black, having agreed that they would take off their cloak as they introduced themselves.

Hermione spoke, her voice carrying easily throughout the hall.  "We, as the Grey Rebels, have decided to reveal out true identities to you."  Everyone simply stared, eager to learn the true identity of the most renown battle and protection group in the wizarding world.

Hermione started, "I introduced myself as Athena, but my real name is Hermione Granger.  I'm a muggle born, but I am still more magically potent than probably many of you.  My name was Athena, because I am the most book smart in the group, and I would likely have been placed in Ravenclaw if I had come to hogwarts as a student."  Many Ravenclaws smiled, pleased to have a representative in the Grey Rebels.  She took off her cloak, and the hall grew completely silent, everyone simply absorbing her physical features.  She had slightly curly brown hair, that suited her fair complexion and matched her brown eyes.

Ginny went next, "I have a family that I left when I was 9, and now I hope that I can rejoin them if we can make amends.  You knew me as Artemis, but my true name is Ginervra Weasley, and I would have been in Gryffindor if I went to Hogwarts."  Ginny took off her cloak, revealing her flaming red hair, and freckled face.  Then, someone blurted from the crowd, "Why were you named Artemis?"

Ginny scowled at this question.  "I didn't want to be named Artemis, but-"

"It's suits her protectiveness."  Hadrian finished, smirking visibly at Ginny frustration.
