Quetzal: hello chapter two here! hope you like this chapter as well just keep in mind that harry and Hermonie are indeed 12 and are in there second year so they will not be acting like there 20 year old battle veterans like some people do.
Chapter 2- in which we find out that its not stress related insanity
She had been hiding in the library for the past 4 hours reading the book on binding cursed from cover to cover and had found some disturbing correlation's. Namely in the chapter relating peoples description of what being under a binding curse, and trying to use magic was like. Apparently a good way to see if your were under such a curse without too much fanfare was to simply cast a powerful spell and pay attention to how your magic felt as they did so, if it was sluggish to respond, felt like you were tiring far faster then seemed reasonable, or if you felt like you were hitting a wall when drawing power for the spell. Then there was a good chance that you were under such a spell, however it was also possible you were simply holding back without realizing. The book contained a spell that was good for the test that created light a lot of light. It was essentially a super charged version of the lumos spell. She chewed her lip for a minute uncertain before standing up after checking the incantation one more time and casting it.
"Solaris!" She said her eyes closed and her attention turned inward on her magic as the book instructed, rather then on the results of the spell. Concentrating on exactly how her magic felt. She could see the light through her eye lids but ignored that the book said the reaction could take a second...A moment later she was on the ground blinking owlishly at the celling having dropped like she'd been hit over the head. "I didn't think it meant that running into a wall thing literally" She muttered getting painfully to her feet and swaying a bit before sitting down in the chair she had been reading in. Well, that confirmed that further experimentation would be required she thought tiredly, but not today. That light spell had taken far to much out of her.
She pulled the book back out and flipped it open and began rereading the chapter about detecting more precisely what kinds of binding spells you had on you she frowned and looked over the ingredient list for the required potion, she had some of this but it looked like a raid on Snape's potion store room would be needed. The potion also took one month to brew and had to be started on a full moon which had been last week. That was technically a good thing though, she would have time to plan the raid with Harry before then. She read on noting that the reason you had to use that potion first was that quite simply different binding cures had to be removed differently. Some required potions others spells and some both. Using the wrong potion or spell with the wrong curse could kill you...very messily apparently one of the examples the book had. Someone had gotten inpatient and simply used a potion that worked for most simpler curses and told about how he had exploded violently as his magical core was essentially eaten by the magic in the potion not how she would like to go out. An hour later she felt she had recovered enough to leave the room without being obviously exhausted and packed up her bag before heading back to the common room.

Harry stared pointedly at his book trying to drown out Ron's incessant yapping about Quidditch. He honestly did like the sport if only for the flying, but Ron could go on about the same damn play for hours at a time once he got going. The result was Harry contemplating what Hagrid had done with Fluffy and if he would be willing to eat Ron. He was so intent on ignoring Ron that he didn't even realize that the portrait hole had opened and that Hermonie had entered the common room until she poked him in the shoulder. He looked up at her quizzically "Find what you were looking for?" He asked drily she sighed and nodded looking resigned and Harry winced. He put his book away and glancing to his right at Ron and got up quietly so he wasn't noticed and went back out the portrait hole with Hermonie. 10 minutes later they were in an out of the way classroom. "Right then what did you find out?" He asked she sighed running a hand through her hair looking a bit frustrated.
"OK this is going to sound completely crazy Harry but you know I wouldn't joke about anything this serious right?" She asked he nodded "Well...Ok first off I know for a fact that there is a binding curse on my magic which means you probably have one too." Harry stared at her for a second looking furious
"Dumbles im guessing?" He all but hissed she grimaced.
"Unfortunately yes, he called me too his office two weeks ago, but had to leave and asked me to wait for him I saw an open cabinet and your suicidal curiosity is apparently contagious because I took a look. I found a device that holds memories and accidentally got a look at one...it was..very incriminating, and if its believed not only are we cousins but..." She trailed off Harry watched her intently a faint smile on his face.
"Its not like Im going to mind being related to you Hermonie your my sister either way what else was there?" He asked carefully she sighed
"Its just I still haven't managed to proved that point, and it sounds too damn crazy to be true on any level." She said he raised an eye brow
"Must be a duzie" He said grinning she sent him a sour look at this
"Its not funny Re" She said tartly he just laughed
"If you say so Mi." He chimed back at her she grimaced
"Why I picked a nick name for you that rhymed with mine I have no idea." She grumbled Harry just snickered
"Not one of your brightest decisions I suppose." He agreed she glared for a moment before a glint appeared in her eyes, Harry hesitated that particular look never meant anything good...For him anyway. A moment later she leapt at him nocking him to the ground. A few seconds of wrestling around like the children they were and a very smug Hermonie had pined Harry down siting cross legged on his back.
"So says the guy who just got his ass kicked by a girl." She said brightly he just groaned. "Right then where were we?" She said thoughtfully
"Hermonie!" He hissed trying to throw her off and failing
"Ah yes!...The fact that once more normality is beyond your reach." She said in a rather grandiose voice. Harry paused in his attempts to get loose and glanced up at her from the corner of his eyes.
"Hermonie?" He said warily
"Yes Harry?" She answered sweetly
"Please don't make my life any more complicated!" He all but begged she looked down at him thoughtfully.
"Well...It may complicate things but I can pretty much assure you that once Voldamort finds out about it he'll want you as far away from him as you can get, and likely will not want to risk killing you." She said he looked at her thoughtfully
"Really?" She tilted her head to the side
"Well it certainly possible, then again he just may want you dead more then before." She added
"Great" He muttered letting his head hit the floor with a thud. "So then what is it?" He asked she hesitated once more.
"You promise not to laugh at me?" She said
"Of course I wont laugh at you...much." He said she smacked him in response."
Right according to the memory in Dumbledores pensive..."
"His what?" Asked Harry she hit him again.
"It stores memories so they cant be seen by mind reading and stuff. Anyway as I was saying according to the memories we are cousins."
"You already said that." Harry deadpanned "Oww!" He yelped a moment later as she whacked him again.
"Quite you." She said before continuing "And Dumbledores stole us from our real parents who are from a completely different reality, but the real kicker is who our parent are or rather who our respective fathers are." She said
"Um Hermonie?" Harry asked weakly she paused in her speech and glared down at the still pinned Harry
"Yes Harry?" She said drily
"Im really not going to like this am I?" He asked she smiled
"You know that dream of yours of being normal some day?" She asked he nodded "Its about to die a quick and painful death."
"Damn." He muttered
"Indeed, any how first your name is really Orion Ashton and you are the demigod son of the Greek god Zeus." She said cheerfully wanting to get it out fast before she could change her mind there was a protracted silence that seemed to last for hours before Harry finally answered.
"Hermonie..." He said sounding a little worried "Are you sure your ok? You didn't hit your head or something did you?" He asked Hermonie just sighed and got off of him Harry quickly dragged himself to his feet and turned to face her a look of honest concern on his face.
"Harry Im fine and no I did not hit my head i kinda wish I had my life would be so much simpler." She answered
"Your life?" He said drily before pausing "Hay wait a second you said were cousins so that would make you!" He said looking startled.
"That would make me what Orion? About as normal as you for once? Im apparently the daughter of Poseidon and my real last name is Soren."She said with a mocking half bow. He stared at her for a second before braking into slightly hysterical laughter Hermonie frowned severely at him "What happened to not laughing at me shorty?" She said tartly he looked up at her his eyes all but glowing with the smile on his face and all but tackled her in a hug.
"I actually have a family!" He said ecstatically Hermonie just smiled faintly.

2 Hours and one very happy Harry Potter later
"Im surprised that you've excepted this so quickly Orion." Said Hermonie from the couch Orion shrugged without looking up his nose currently buried in a book on Greek Mythology apparently wanting to learn as much as he could as quickly as he could.
"Well, I alway thought Dumbles seemed a little to smug when I first started here I thought it was because i was in Gryffindor like he wanted but I guess it was a different plan he was happy about. That and I had never dreamed if actually meeting my parents but now I might have a chance too!" He answered she nodded
"Good, but we still have the problem of getting the ingredients for the detection potion, and that still just the beginning" She said he frowned and looked over at her
"What do we need again?" He asked.
"Well iv got the Moonstone and the Griffin feather, But I still need ground Dragon horn, willingly given Unicorn blood, three spearmint leaves, a raven claw, a solar flower petal and half a Basilisk scale." She said sourly "Those aren't incredibly rare with the exception of the unicorn blood and the Basilisk scale,their going to be the most difficult though there hasn't been a Basilisk in a four hundred years!" She said exasperated Harry nodded thoughtfully.
"Honestly I think the Ravenclaw will be the most difficult thing to get." He said idly she sent him a weird look at this
"How do you figure that?" She asked he just shrugged
"Well its just I figure that Flitwick will notice if one of his ravens mysteriously disappears." He answered Hermonie stared at him for a moment before the joke clicked and Harry was forced to block a thrown cushion
"Not that kind of Ravenclaw!" He said exasperated as Harry laughed. "Oh grow up this is serious!" She said before joining in on the laughter. A few moments later McGonagalls voice echoed threw the room.
"ALL STUDENTS MUST RETURN TO THEIR DORMS AT ONCE!" She said before the school went silent again.
"Hu..." said Harry.
"I wonder what happened" Agreed Hermonie Harry shook his head
"Its not that I was just wondering since when does this place have an intercom system?" He asked quizzically Hermonie roller her eyes
"Trust you to focus on the important things" She said before packing her backpack up as Harry stashed his own book.
"Right lets go see what happened.."
