A.N.:
Here is the next chapter. Do to school, I didn't get the chance to update this past week. At least it wasn't like a month later. I think that this chapter will answer some questions from the last chapter. But of course, not all questions will be answered. Enjoy and please review.

Chapter 24: Freed and Acceptance
Monday October 7, 1996
It was almost eleven o’clock, when Severus, Lucius and Augusta Longbottom got to St. Mungo’s and the room Alice and Frank Longbottom were in. Severus talked to the Healer about thecurse they were going to check for and why it wouldn’t have been found before.
With the four of them looking at the two sleeping in bed. Severus started a diagnostic spell that he was invented years ago that would detect obscure curses first on Frank. It was soon clear to
him that Frank was indeed cursed with the Nebulosus Mens curse. Severus ended the spell on Frank and checked Alice.
“Both Frank and Alice are cursed with the Nebulosus Mens curse. I can remove it and they should be fine. It will be a little hard for them to get use to the fact that they missed fifteen years.” Severus said.“They will have all they help they need.” Augusta said.Severus cast the counter for the curse. A golden light covered Frank and the curse was lifted. He then cast the counter on Alice. When the same golden light covered Alice, Augusta sighed in relief.The Healer moved and started to check over Frank and Alice.“They are fine.” The Healer said. “They will be waking soon.”Alice opened her eyes and found her mind perfectly clear. She looked to her right and saw Frank looking back at her. She smiled at him and then looked to her left. Sitting there by her bed were three people she knew.“You took the curse off.” Alice said.“Yes, we did. It was thanks to your sister in-law and brothers that we found out the curse that was on you and Frank.” Lucius said.“How long has it been, Lucius? Where is Neville?” Alice asked.“It has been fifteen years. Your son is now sixteen and at Hogwarts.” Lucius said.“He is a lot like you, Alice.” Severus said. “He is quite talented in Herbology and charms.”“What about Dumbledore? He’s not Headmaster still is he? He shouldn’t be since he was the one that cursed us and tried to take our son.” Frank said. “I am thankful that Nev was at Mother’s.”“You are absolutely sure that it was Dumbledore?” Severus asked.“Of course. He said that we had to go. We were getting in his way to greatness. We had to go.” Alice said.“Then you would be happy to hear that Albus Dumbledore is in a Ministry holding cell waiting for trial.” Lucius said. “I am the new Headmaster. We have found out that the woman everyone knew as Lily Potter was really my lost sister, Ayden. Dumbledore took her and tried to hold my Step-Mother against her will.”“That isn’t all.” Severus said. “He set up Bella, Rodolphus and Rabastan for you two being cursed.”“But they would never do a thing like that. They had nothing to do with us being cursed by Dumbledore.” Alice said.“We know that and now that you two are awake and of sound mind, you can testify to that. Dumbledore had also cursed them and taken Bella and Rodolphus’ daughter, Rhea the night she was born.” Lucius said. “We have found her and she is a friend of your son’s.”Alice smiled through the tears in her eyes. “Will we get to see Neville soon?”“Yes.” Lucius said.“Your Healer said that you were both healthy. If your Healer releases you to go home today, then Neville will be allowed to go home for a few hours to visit. Same if you are still here, Neville will be allowed to visit.” Severus said.“We are grateful to you, Lucius and Severus.” Frank said.“We know you both are. We have a few things to talk to you about, but that will have to wait for a later time.” Lucius said.“We will leave you to talk with your Healer and Augusta. Just owl us if you ever need to talk.” Severus said. “We will get back to you about Neville visiting.”“Thank you both.” Augusta said. “I am very grateful. I will owl you later about Neville visiting.”Rhea had made up her mind. Since she wasn’t really who she had always thought she was, she thought it was stupid and pointless to continue to pretend she was. It was a few hours after
lunch and she was walking to the Headmaster’s office. She needed to talk to him about her choice and her adopted parents.
Standing in front of the gargoyle, Rhea realized that she didn’t know the password.
“I would like to talk with the Headmaster.” Rhea said to the gargoyle.The gargoyle blinked at her and then moved out of the way of the stairs. Once at the top in front of the door, Rhea knocked.“Enter.” Called the Headmaster’s voice.Rhea opened the door and walked into the office.“May I speak with you, Headmaster?” Rhea asked.“Of course, please sit down.” Lucius said.“I had been thinking everything over. I can’t continue to live a lie, especially when I know about it. I can’t be Hermione Granger anymore. I want to remove the spells, but I think that the Grangers should be talked to before that happens.” Rhea said.“I think that you are right, Miss Lestrange. I would like to know just where they got you in the first place.” Lucius said. “You would like this to be done soon?”“Sooner the better. But with that, I think we may have to talk to the Prophet also.” Rhea said.“I agree.” Lucius said.After talking with Severus, it was agreed upon taking Rhea of see the Granger’s that afternoon and then going to see the Gringotts Goblins.Lucius and Severus followed their student up the walk to the front door of the house belonging to the Granger’s. They walked into the house surprising the two adults in the living room.
“Hermione!” Jane Granger said as she got up to hug the girl. “What are you doing here?”“I have come with the Headmaster and a Professor of Hogwarts to talk to you both about something that we found out just yesterday evening.” Rhea said.“Oh, alright.” Jane said.“Why didn’t you ever tell me that you adopted me?” Rhea asked.“You're not adopted, Hermione.” Jane said.“No actually I was stolen from my real parents by Albus Dumbledore after he cursed them and then put spells on me to change how I look and block some of my magic.” Rhea said.“Hermione.”“Stop calling me that! My name is Rhea!”“I am sorry. Mr. Dumbledore told us that your parents were dead and you had no family left.” Jane said.“Which was another lie. Rhea has an Aunt that would have taken care of her.” Lucius said. “I even would have taken her. Rhea is my niece through marriage.”“My real Mother and Father are alive. Dumbledore had stolen me the evening of September 19, 1979. I wasn’t even a day old.” Rhea said.Jane had tears in her eyes. “I am so sorry. I didn’t know. If I had known, I would have tried to do something about it.”“I don’t blame you.” Rhea said. “I am just angry that you believed that man. He framed my parents for my aunt and uncle being cursed. But my Aunt is my Father and Uncle’s younger sister. They would never harm her or her family.”“I can’t believe we did also. I take it that you are going back to your real parents, now.” George Granger said as he moved to stand next to his wife.“Well, yes. We need to get to know each other, but I am not living a lie any more. I will be removing the spells to return myself to how I really should look and also using my real name.” Rhea said.“What is your real name?” George asked.“Rhea Bella Lestrange.” Rhea said.“It’s a beautiful name, Rhea.” Jane said. “Did you want to take some of your things with you?”“You will let me?” Rhea said.“Of course, dear.” Jane said. “We still love you like our daughter and everything we bought you is still yours. But we hope that you will still come and visit us.”“I think I will. I do thank you both for looking after me even if you didn’t know that I had been stolen from my parents.”Twenty minutes later, Rhea had everything that she wanted packed and shrunken in her pocket. The three of them were now on their way to Gringotts. Rhea wondered just what she would look like after this. Would she look like her Mother? A blend of her parents? More like her Father?Lucius and Severus weren’t surprised to see Thornfoot waiting for them. They followed the Goblin back into the same meeting room as before.
“I know why you are here.” Thornfoot said. “You have found the Lestrange Heiress.”“Yes, we did.” Lucius said. “Miss Lestrange would like the spells placed on her by Dumbledore to be removed.”“And anything information on vaults if there are any in my name.” Rhea said.“Of course.” Thornfoot said. “Please follow me.”Rhea then moved to the same stone that Harry had not long ago. With her hands on top, they started to glow in a pale white light. It slowly moved up her arms until it was covering her whole body. A few minutes later, the light disappeared and Rhea was allowed to step off the stone.Rhea noticed that she was taller then she had been. Grabbing a handful of her hair, she pulled it over her shoulder and saw that it was as black as her Mother’s. It was also very silky to the touch.When Rhea looked up, she saw a mirror in front of her. Looking at herself in the mirror, Rhea saw that she took a little more after her Mother, but still looked like her Father. Her eyes were a pale brown that looked more like gold. Rhea thought that it gave her a very different look. If Rhea said so herself, she was beautiful. Rhea moved and took her seat once again.“Ah, good. That is done.” Thornfoot said. “Now, Miss Lestrange, you wanted to know about any vaults in your name?”“Yes. I also wanted to talk about all the money in my old vault. I never wanted it. I thought I was helping Harry.” Rhea said.“All the money expect for what you or your parents had put in there, was removed anyway. Dumbledore stole that money from Mr. Malfoy-Potter.” Thornfoot said.“Oh, no. That is a horrible thing to do, stealing money from a child.” Rhea said. “I am glad that Harry is getting it back. I never needed it or wanted it. My adopted parents had been saving money for my post secondary schooling and after coming to Hogwarts, they had decided that I could use it for anything that I needed for school when going to Hogwarts. So I didn’t need it. Dumbledore told me that Harry never had any friends and thought that I would be the perfect person to if not be his friend, but someone to talk to. He also said that to keep Harry safe, he needed me to tell him anything that was going on since he wouldn’t be able to keep his eyes out on Harry all the time.”“Dumbledore used you just as he used a lot of other people.” Lucius said.“I bet that is a reason why he stole me. So he could use me later.” Rhea said.“Probably.” Severus said.“Please go on Thornfoot.” Rhea said.“Your parents had set up a vault for you before you were born and had an old charm put on it and the files so that once you were named, your name would be placed on the files for the vault. They had set it up so that money from the main vault would be deposited into your vault. It has been for the last seventeen years.“Your money has also been collecting interest just like your parents vaults have been. You are now one of the richest young adults in Britain. You are tied with your cousins Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom and cousin by marriage, Harry Malfoy-Potter.” Thornfoot said.“Wow. I never thought that with accepting that I am Rhea Lestrange, I would become rich.” Rhea said. “Now I really need a new wardrobe. I will need a Gringotts card also.”“Of course.” Thornfoot said. “I will tell you that there will be a limit until your parents can say different. You are able to use up to 1200G a month.”“That is 6000 pounds, which is a lot. I may end up spending somewhere close to that getting my clothing today, but that is more than enough.” Rhea said.Fifteen minutes later, Rhea was leaving Gringotts with her Headmaster and Professor. She had decided just to get a few things right now and get some more at a later date.
