"YOUR DUMBLEDORE'S GRANDDAUGHTER!!!," they all screamed in unison.

I laughed,"Shocker, I know right? But you'll get used to it...I know I did."

Ginny looked up at me,"you didn't know Dumbledore was your Grandfather?"

"Not one bit."

"But why?"

I shrugged,"I guess it was the fact that my father, well didn't hate magic but was I...guess...uncomfortable at the fact of it. He was one of the those persons who thought everything had to have a reason to it.

And well Magic just didn't have a reason to it. So magic wasn't allowed in the house. Oh, don't get him wrong!" I said to the horrified faces they had on.

"He's a great man, loved my mom dearly- even to this day," I muttered.

"Wait. If your Dumbledores Granddaughter," started Fred.

George continued for his other half ,"Then you must know how old he is."

"Well then tell us?," they both said eagerly.

I shook my head at them all," to tell you all the truth. I don't know."

Disappointed the twins let me carry on," I was eight when I first meet Dumbledore. My father was out on business and my mother took the advantage to floo us to London. Oh! Now that I think of it! Maybe that's why I hate apparition so much!it was so terrifying"

"Hate it, terrifying, we can't get enough of it," the twins said and disappeared with a CRACK!

From down in the kitchen there was a loud crash and sound of plates and cutlery spilling everywhere. Molly's angry voice shock the house as she yelled ,"GEORGE! FRED! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO CUT THAT OUT!"

There was another CRACK! And the twins where back sitting in the floor each rubbing the back of there heads. Ron, Ginny, and Harry sniggered while Hermione tsked at them.

"Severs you right," she grumbled earning a glare from them.

"Such trouble makers, you are. Remind me of James and Black," I laughed at the bunch.

Harry looked up expectantly," you where friends with them right?"

"Well James, Remus, and Lily. As for Black, I hated him he hated me."

Confusion settled into his eyes but I started up,"Dumbledore was an odd man but very wise. Even me at eight years, could tell that and respected him for it. my mother would leave me with him when ever my father was away and she would attend to some 'errands' "- i said using quotation marks- "as she put it. Boy where her 'errands' something.

Sometimes Dumbledore would read me the news paper when I'd visit. Wizard news is so much fascinating than Muggle news i do have to say.

DEATH EATERS ON THE RISE. MAN NAMED TO BE LORD VOLDEMORT CLAIMS MUGGLE MURDERS. BEWARE THE DEATH SIGN. Those where the headlines he would read me. Pictures of muggle homes with the Death Eater sign in the sky, a skull with a snake coming out of its open mouth, horrifying it all was.

Voldemort, who ever this man was should be caught and be dead, I remember telling Dumbledore after he finished reading the news. he'd laugh and reassured me that in do time he would. My mother on the other hand didn't share the same view as us. Voldemort, she'd say, theres a man thats cleaning the world full of disgraces."

Hermione gasped, "but wasn't your mother muggle-born?"

"I'm not sure. I assume she led herself to believe she was half-blood even pure-blood if she wanted to," I huffed.

"My father came home early from one of his business trip one day. Furious is all I can say when we got home that day. They screamed for hours until finally my mom made to leave. i came downstairs right when my dad caught her by her arm. And the sleeve of her dress moved up a bit and there clear as day was a Death Eater mark. She stormed out the house, I didn't see her until my eleventh birthday when I got my Hogwarts letter.

Dumbledore came to deliver the Hogwarts letter himself , my father and him grew quite close after my mother left, we celebrated. We ate cake and I tried out all kinds of wizard candy. Ugh! I will never try Betti Bots Every Flavor Bean, Grandfather gave me ear wax flavor," I shuddered just thinking about it. "But then SHE apparited in."

She walked in, unrecognizable to us. Hair blown back, crazed eyes big and bulging, she sneered at us. A packet was in her hands and she stepped forward to give it to me. Happy birthday darling, she hissed in a horsed voice.

My father stood and shouted for her to leave at this instant. She just laughed and with the flick of her wand she sent him flying to the wall. That was it for Dumbledore, he got up slowly his wand straight out and pointed to her. In a loud booming voice he threatened her to get out, she seemed amused but just pointed to me. Not with out her, Father, she smirked at him, He needs her. It was almost as if something went off in him. He tried stunning her but she ducked the spell and with a wave she was gone.

After that Dumbledore had us move somewhere close to him, so at the end of the month we moved to London. Just a small flat seeing as school had started. Hogwarts the first magical place I'd every been in. Magnificent, ghost, mail delivered by owls, quills instead of pencils, secret corridors and passages... That's actually how I met your dad, Harry.

I woke up late and ended up rushing to class, I just knew McGonagoll was gonna have my head-fourth day of school and late, I had just turned a corner when I saw four boys lurking behind a witches statue. Then they just disappeared behind it, so me being me I followed.

The secret passage lead straight to Transfiguration class. The four boys where hurrying off but I caught up to them and thanked them. Remus and Peter were kinda shocked that they had been seen but James took it as a complement, totally ecstatic that he could make someone's day. Black was another thing, he was mad almost like he was jealous that someone out of there group knew about the passage."

I stopped talking. It was so long away but i will never forget the way his grey eyes were filled with hatred, teeth barred like an animal fighting for his territory.

How could someone hate me so much?, I thought bitterly at eleven, He doesn't even know the real me.

But even though he hated me I couldn't help but fall for him. I liked the way his grey eyes would lighten up after a successful prank, the way a silly grin stayed on his face after--

A pale hand waved in front of me and I blinked to be brought back from my thoughts. They all had worried expressions on there faces but it was Harry who asked," Are you okay, Mae? You just kinda zoned out for a while."

I nodded my head and cleared my throat,"After that day I hung out with your Dad almost every other day. Though Lily was always annoyed when ever I would skip homework sessions with her and play some stupid prank with them. I remember this one time we jinxed the orang juice at the Slytherines table to turn their hair Gryffonder red and yellow. They always got caught though and have to end up cleaning the trophies without magical help. First year was the best so was second and third then came fourth year," I sighed.

"What happened in Fourth year?," Ginny asked from under her brothers arm.

"Things got complicated. The five of us split, the Marauders as they called themselves during that time were closer than every, Lily and me were best friends. I would occasionally talk with Snape but that was when he wasn't around his idiot friends.

Dumbledore was busier than ever with trying to keep the school safe. so I didn't bother him when I my mother sent me a letter. The letters started off fine at first, she asked if my classes where going good or if my friends were loyal to me. Things moms would ask. And for once I felt like she really did care for me after all. But soon she started to ask me what Grandfather was up to and if there where holes in the security. My answer was no Grandfather never let me into his business and I never pried.

Her letters would became short then shorter then they just stopped coming all together. Two months passed before I got one again, she wanted to met me and I didn't think once about it. She's my mother anyone would have wanted to see their mother so of course I should want to meet her, at least hug or see her once. It just so happened that a Hogsmeade weekend was coming up, I told her to meet me by Hogs Head since not that many students ever came by there.

On the day of our meeting Lily knew something was wrong and it didn't help that I was fidgety and kept changing my clothes every minute. Lily kept asking who I was meeting, she was worried about me and I didn't have the guts to lie to her so I told about the letters and who I was going to meet. She wasn't to happy, she actually screamed at me and kinda shook me about."

I laughed dryly still thinking about that day, if only I had listened to her. "I didn't listen and ended up running from her through one of the secret passages. It was very cold that day, I was the only one standing out in the cold by the time someone apparited. And it wasn't my mother, it was a tall muscly guy I didn't see his face it was covered by a mask and he had a black cloak on. The instant he saw me he took his wand out and pointed it at, I didn't think twice before I dove out and started running. It was useless of course, he caught me by my sweater and held me up high. I kicked an screamed but he wouldn't let me go.

A huge crowd formed when they heard me yell. I don't know why he didn't just take me and leave to where ever. But he just levitated me up for everyone to see, everyone was horrified through the crowd I saw all my classmates. It was humiliating and terrifying.

Finally I saw hope when Lily's head was bobbing through the crowd with Dumbledore and the teacher's. the man saw them too and with that dropped me and disapparited out of there. Lily was the first one to get to me, I clung to her so hard I think her jacket ripped. They carried me to Dumbledores office and that's where he told me what was happening.

Voldemort wanted me to get a leg up in destroying Dumbledore. He thought I was Dumbledores weakness and he was right. Grandfather told me that if the man ha taken me away he would have sacrificed himself for my safety. Do you know how scary that is? To be told at that age that through you your most beloved could get hurt or worse would be murdered. Now every time I went out I would be thinking are they going to get me now, tomorrow, today, at night. I couldn't sleep, didn't want to eat . It was like living a nightmare that you just couldn't wake up from."

I sighed and took a deep breathe. My hands which I know held close to my chest where shaking. It was silent for a while but the story was close to the end I could t stop now.

"About a year later I was doing better. Over the summer my father had token us out to the country where we rented a little cottage. It was far out mostly deserted, it was perfect. I got accustomed to everything now so life was easier Grandfather should up once in a while with some news about Voldemort and my mother but it didn't scare like it did before. School was the same boring but Lily always kept me doing study sessions and making color coated charts. I hated those things and she somehow had my doing them all the time.

Then one day I read the Daily Prophet. They found five dead bodies in an English muggle home, three where Muggles and the other two where wizards. One of them was my mother."

Ginny and Hermione gasped but the guys stayed silent edging closer to hear more.

"There wasn't much detail about how she died but they made up some story of how she got into a fight with another death eater on how to kill the Muggles. I didn't believe it. After that things didn't change much, after another year you parents got together Harry. They where a perfect match I do have to say, even if your dad had the ego of giant squid and your really could nag about just anything. But they where good friends then when school ended they got married, I  was made maid of honor but wasn't there for the wedding."

"Why not?," Hermione asked.

"Soon after school ended I went into hiding by Grandfathers orders. I missed a lot of things while in hiding, your birth, Harry wasn't one I missed though. I made it just in time to. Your so small Harry and so adorable.just born and already had a mop of hair on you.

I stayed for a few months at there place to help out Lily but she really didn't need that much help. You weren't that much of a hassle. Then the unthinkable happened, I wasn't in England when your parents died but I heard it from a loyal friend and by the time I reached Dumbledore he had already gave you to your aunts and uncle. He wouldn't tell me what part of England or who your relatives where so I just waited out. And now where here to the present."

It was quiet and just before they could say something Molly yelled for dinner. They all groaned and got up stretching out. I got up to seeing as my back was recovering better.

Harry turned around from the door with a concerned face,"Um...Mae I don't think that you know but tomorrow I have a-a hearing with the Ministry."

I smiled down at him," Oh I've heard Harry but don't worry you'll do fine. I'm sure of it. Know come on let's get something to eat before Ron eats it all."

He laughed and nodded. I followed his lead and we both headed down the stairs.
