Chapter 9
Holiday break
Walking into the house I smile at Ingrid seeing her shock "I thought you girls were going to spend Christmas at Hogwarts for the first year" she says while gathering us in a hug.
"No, I've pissed off that old bastard, figured a break from him was needed" Lily says smirking.
"Lilith, why do you have to curse so much?" Ingrid asks while making her look at her.
"Because it's funny to see everyone's response to it and it makes me feel better when I'm mad"
"Hermione invited three weasels over, we need you to pick them up at the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow around 5 in the morning" Emma says.
Seeing Ingrid glare at me I smile "The twins have been fine so far not like the others but they were talking to me about something involving their only sister, they were worried that she's been being conditioned by their mom and wanted her checked. I sent the twins to gather your normal requests for payment".
She sighs nodding "What happened to start a new problem with the senile old goat?" She asks.
"We learned his problem isn't with just Lily but all of us, Slytherin has another Heir who everyone but a select few believe is dead, a guy named Tom Riddle so he's our cousin and rightful head of house Gaunt and Slytherin, we're seen as royalty by his followers and hated by his enemies that happens to include the Weasels but since Lily's the one who wears Slytherin and is in Slytherin house out of us he dislikes her most" I answer.
"He tried to get in her head believing she's responsible for a troll getting in that Potter and Weasel were involved with fighting, after bullying some girl and having to go warn her to save their own asses but now their best friends, I guess that's how Gryffindor's find friends, bully someone till they're in danger of death if the victim lies for you then be friends" Emma adds.
"That was on samhain we went out to celebrate in the forest McGonagall joined us for the night, apparently the woman who sold Emma the meade understood why she wanted it, the bottle refilled itself all night, we tried to returned it but she insisted it was ours, so we all got drunk and passed out that night at some point, when we returned to the castle he tried to invade my mind" Lily says.
"And of course you're not friendly with coffee to hardly anyone but without coffee and hung over your temper is completely gone, so you went off on him" Ingrid says nodding.
"She threw a coffee cup, I thought she was about to hit him with the table" I add smiling.
"No but I did cast a jinx on the Gryffindor table it will catch fire the moment someone says his name, it won't harm anyone but him as well"
Ingrid sighs smiling slightly "You are vindictive".
"We're related to the dark Wizard that killed Potters parents he's coming back at some point" Lily says smirking.
"Where are you going to stand if that happens?" She asks.
"When that happens, we will stand with him family sticks together, if we find away to help him return faster we will" I answer shrugging.
"What about McGonagall?"
"She wants to switch sides, we're trying to get Snape on our side by giving him what he wants most"
"Oh that reminds me" Ingrid says getting up and rushing to her home office.
She comes back holding papers and a needle "I need you girls to blood mark you're agreeing to handing Head of house to him and accepting him as a Prince".
Nodding we each take turns smearing our blood on the papers as need, once finished we see our names appear in blue before settling into red showing we're under no spells or being forced.
She smiles watching the paper disappear with a pop after it's finish "Severus Prince will now be head of house Prince" she says proudly.
Nodding I see Lily look at my ring as it shimmers slightly "You have the heir house ring now, the other will now be head of house"
Nodding I smile gently slapping the table "So what are we doing Ingrid?" I ask.
She smirks holding her hand out forming a snow ball "Snowman war?"
Laughing we rush out the back door as she lifts the muggle repellent spell so we can play.
Next day
No one's pov
Ingrid stands in the Leaky Cauldron holding a large coffee drinking it while yawning.
Seeing two teen boys leading a girl in under a cloak she raises her brow watching them, they look around nervously while pulling their hats off showing red hair.
Ingrid walks over calmly "Outside" she says softly while walking out.
They quickly follow after her keeping the girl covered, reaching the car and getting in they nervously glance around while she drives away.
"Why are you three being so secret about this meeting?" She asks.
"Rock trolls used magic on us, our memories have been altered a lot over the years"
She hums glancing in the mirror at them "What parts?" She asks.
"Mom never had another child after Ron, we remember her crying over never being able to have a girl, one day Dumbledore showed up with a newborn baby girl, we were supposed to be in bed asleep but when we were spotted he altered our memories"
She nods pulling up at the house letting them out "Come along, I'll get you some breakfast and something warm to drink" she says.
Following her in they keep the girl between them leading her in "Do you think she's glamoured or from a family with similar looks?" She asks.
"Similar looks we think but want to be sure"
She nods placing the large plates on the table in front of them "I'd recommend eating your fill before the girls wake up, there's tea and coffee there" she says while motioning to a kettle with tea bags by it and the coffee pot.
They nod making their plates while the covered girl calmly eats her own "Do you have a birth mark? If so it could help lead us to your family" she asks looking at the girl.
She shrugs pulling her hood down "I look more like a Carrow" she says softly.
