A Hope through time/ Hope Mikaelson in hp and teen wolf

After Myrddin begrudgingly carried Hope and Lockhart up out of the Chamber, he flamed away before Dumbledore could see him. Ron and Ginny may have seen Myrddin on Hope's shoulder but since he is a black Phoenix neither of them knew he was a Phoenix due to his colouring. So thankfully only Harry knows.

Once the group had been checked out by Madam Pomfrey in the Infirmary, Hope left before Lucius would show up and she also managed to speak to Harry alone while in the Infirmary asking to meet up with him during the Summer holidays.

Hope had casted a tracking spell and delayed summoning charm on the Sword of Gryffindor as they were walking to the Infirmary. When Dumbledore showed up he requested the Sword from Hope, claiming that the Sword belongs to the school. Hope had handed over the Sword mentioning that Harry had used it to slay Slytherin's Basilisk. Dumbledore had made a non-committed hum as he took the proffered weapon from the 2nd year Slytherin girl.

Many different thoughts were firing through her head rapidly, distracting her for the exams at the end of the school year. Daphne noticed this and frowned at Hope. Hope realised her Mate sensed her distress and sent her a fire message asking if she could speak to her on the train.

On the day of the end of year feast, Hope found Luna waiting outside by the Slytherin common room. Luna had replied to any barbs the Slytherins' had thrown out with an airy comment and a relation to one of her 'imaginary creatures'. Hope hears about Luna's creatures but doesn't make jump decisions about them, since Hope has already managed to locate one of her creatures already so more of these creatures could actually exist.

When Hope came out of the common room with the rest of the 2nd years after she had a shower following her 8 laps around the Black Lake, she was distracted when she ran, not noticing her speed. Daphne slowed when she saw Luna and tilted her head in curiosity, however Draco and his cronies made inappropriate comments about 'Loony' Lovegood.

Hope let out a subvocal growl that no one heard but Luna and Daphne sensed Hope's Magic flaring in anger, causing Daphne's eyes to widen in fear for Hope's Tribrid secret. Luna had no issues about approaching Hope, so she reached out and grabbed Hope's hands and moved them away.

"Hope. I need to introduce you to a friend of mine. Come with me." Luna said calmly as she pulled Hope away from the Slytherins.

Hope followed the smaller blonde girl and sent a glare behind her back at Draco and his friends. All three of them froze at the absolute fury coming from the Muggleborn girl and surprisingly they took the threat in Hope's eyes seriously and rushed out of the Dungeon like they were being chased by Fiendfyre.

Daphne let out a chuff of laughter as Draco ran away from Hope's glare, Daphne's friends Tracey and Blaise looked at Daphne in shock as the stoic blonde girl never showed any emotions at school. Daphne shrugged at them then brought her ice mask back up to full capacity.

Once Luna and Hope turned around a corner Luna let go of Hope's hands and moved in front of the Tribrid. "Come on, Hope. I want to introduce you to the Grey Lady."

Hope caught up to the silver eyed girl as they were walking up the Grand Staircase instead of going to breakfast.

"Why do I have a feeling that you knew I was going after Diadem today?" Hope asked in a casual tone beside Luna and narrowed her eyes at Luna's wand sticking out from behind her left ear.

Luna tilted her head in exasperation at the other girl.

"Yeah, yeah. Seer. Thank you Luna. I wanted Rowena's daughter to know that I plan on destroying the Horcrux while cleansing the Diadem from the evil magic infecting it." Hope murmured next to Luna while playing with the other girl's wand and moving some blonde strands of hair behind her ear.

Luna giggled, "That tickles."

Hope let out a small laugh as they exited the staircase on the 7th Floor.

The young seer seemingly took a random turn and Hope followed her, knowing that the silver eyed girl's divination skills were beyond extraordinary and also extremely reliable.

After a couple more corners Hope saw a ghost in the distance, when the girls came up to the female ghost.

Luna greeted the ghost happily. "Hello Ms Ravenclaw. This is the friend I was telling you about that can cleanse your mother's Diadem."

The Grey Lady turned to look at Hope and frowned deeply at her. "She's a Slytherin. Last time I told a Slytherin where my mother's Diadem was, they defiled it! No, I'm not telling her where it is."

Hope came to stand beside Luna. "I understand why you don't want to tell me, Helena. But the truth is I already know where the Diadem is."

Hope explained her thoughts to the ghost. "Besides through the Hat I have spoken to your mother and the other Founders. I'm trying to improve the Wizarding World but it is slow going. Destroying Riddle's Horcruxes is at the top of my to-do list but I want to attempt something on the Diadem before trying it on a different Horcrux."

The Grey Lady was shocked at the Slytherin girls' words and just floated to the side and lifted an arm. "Lead the way then. I want to observe what you are going to do."

"Sure thing." Hope replied as she started walking towards the portrait with the dancing trolls.

"I was planning on asking you to observe me. Though I just wish to ask. When the Diadem is cleansed do you wish to give the Diadem to a descendant?" Hope asked curiously as she paced back and forth in front of a bare wall, needing a room to store lost things into.

A large wooden set of doors appeared and Hope opened the door and held it open for the ghost and the first year Ravenclaw.

As the ghost entered the room she answered Hope. "If you can purify my mother's Diadem, I will give it to Luna here. She is one of my descendants. A true Seer."

"I would be honoured to be given such a gift. Thank you, my lady." Luna replied dreamily as they walked through rows of random items.

Hope picked up a cauldron when she walked past one of the rows and carried it with her when she located the Diadem sitting on the head of a statue like a crown. Hope conjured some charcoal then bent down to the ground, placing the cauldron off to the side and started to draw some symbols that the Saltzman twins had used for their Siphoning Spell.

After she had finished drawing her symbols in a Siphoning Circle that she had seen after the Hollow was Siphoned out of herself during her first Wolf moon by the Saltzman twins. Hope then levitated the piece of jewellery off the statues' head and placed it gently on the ground. Hope picked up the cauldron and brought it into the circle.

"God I hope this works. Although the good news is if it doesn't work I'll just give it to the Goblins to purify the Diadem." Hope remarked as she sat cross-legged in the circle, she shook her hands before holding a hand over the Diadem and the other over the cauldron.

"Here we go."

Hope closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath before she started chanting, "Magia tollox de terras. Magia tollox de terras. Magia tollox de terras." As soon as Hope started chanting the Diadem glowed a sick purple colour.

The light glowed brighter each time she chanted the words until finally the light broke into a sapphire and blood-red colours in two separate lights. One belongs to Rowena's Magical Signature and the other is Voldemorts'.

Hope moved the blood-red colour over to the cauldron while keeping the sapphire-blue over the Diadem. Hope then motioned her hands down after the lights were placed over their receptive containers.

The Tribrid finished the spell, "Slovo."

The lights lowered gently down into the items below her hands and flashed as the magic settled into their containers.

Hope opened her eyes with a tired sigh.

"Well that was draining. No wonder you need two Gemini Witches to do this spell without repercussions." Hope groaned as she brought a hand to her forehead.

Luna clapped her hands jovially.

"That was amazing Hope! It worked! Voldemort's Magic has been cleanly removed from the Diadem and into the cauldron you had picked up earlier… Why did you pick it up?" Luna praised the older girl before her curiosity got the better of her.

Hope smiled slightly, "Oh something little miss seer didn't see. What a shame." Hope teased the silver eyed girl.

Luna stuck her tongue out playfully at the other girl and picked up the Diadem carefully before looking at the Grey Lady wishing to confirm if she still wanted to give it to her. The Grey Lady wiped a translucent tear from her cheek before nodding her assent to the blonde girl.

Luna held it delicately in her hands before chanting the fire messaging spell, "Touve mon se kavo. Touve mon se kavo."

The Diadem vanished in a burst of flames.

"I sent it home. I feel as if the Headmaster would've taken this from me if he saw it." Luna explained to the ghost who looked surprised at the wandless magic.

Hope nodded her head in agreement. "That wouldn't surprise me."

Hope stood up and moved out of the circle for a moment and stretched her body, popping some of her joints which Hope sighed in pleasure.

"To answer your previous question. I think I picked the cauldron due to my hatred of Snape probably. I don't know… It was a subconscious action." Hope shrugged.

Hope snapped her fingers calling the Sword of Gryffindor but nothing happened. Hope rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Dumbledore is really starting to annoy me. Myrddin?" Hope called out in exasperation.

Myrddin flamed into the room and perched himself on Luna's shoulder and sang to her, cheering the Ravenclaw girl up and causing Luna to smile. "Thank you Myrddin. Your song is beautiful."

A smile came onto Hope's face before it turned into a frown. "Luna. You would tell me if you are being bullied. Wouldn't you?"

Luna cringed slightly and stroked the bird on her shoulder, ignoring the query.

"Luna?" Hope questioned again with concern in her voice.

The silver eyed girl met the stormy eyes of the Tribrid and shook her head slightly before dragging her eyes away.

Hope stared at Luna for a moment. "Myrddin can you go get the Sword of Gryffindor from Dumbledore please? I need to speak to Luna."

Hope looked at the ghost. "Lady Ravenclaw, could you please give us a moment?"

The ghost pursed her lips and floated down a couple of isles while Myrddin left in a flash of fire.

"Luna?" Hope called out quietly.

Luna looked back at Hope with tears in her eyes and Hope brough the younger girl into a hug. "Oh sweet girl. You don't deserve this."

Hope comforted Luna by rubbing her back. "Why wouldn't you tell me?"

Luna cried quietly. "Because you almost killed Draco when he called me 'Loony'. What would you do to the others who hide my things or call me names? I can't tell you or people will die."

Hope groaned in frustration.

"I can't promise not to kill anyone, but I will promise to try and keep my anger contained better. Also I'm not the one who will stop the bullying. I'd get Myrddin to show up to protect you. You tell them that you are under the protection of Lady Emrys and that Myrddin is Lady Emrys' Phoenix. That should stop the bullying." Hope explained to the blonde girl.

"If it doesn't stop, well Myrddin will start burning people I'd imagine. He likes you."

Luna pulled away in shock but before she could speak, Myrddin reappeared with Gryffindors' Sword in his claws.

"Thanks, Myrddin." Hope says as the Phoenix dropped the Sword into her outstretched hands.

The midnight Phoenix flew back on Luna's shoulder and thrilled sadly at the girl.

"Myrddin says that he will protect you. He'll stay with you through the next school year, a silent shadow until you need help." Hope informed Luna before waiting for a moment as the Phoenix continued speaking and Hope grinned in amusement.

"He also says that he would set people on fire after three warnings. After that the intensity of the flames will increase. Making them harder to put out and to heal the burns."

"Myrddin. Please don't do that. You're a Phoenix. Your reputation could be damaged if you do this." Luna pleaded with the legendary bird.

Myrddin shook his head and headbutted the girl gently, "No. My image does not matter, besides Phoenixes are protectors first, Light-Based Creatures second. It is my duty to help someone under my protection."

Luna sighed and the Grey Lady returned. "Are you okay, my descendant?"

Luna nodded but sighed. "Yes I'm fine. Hope just wants to keep me safe but I disagree with her methods."

Hope shrugged along with her Phoenix. "Too bad. We're keeping you safe. So use the reason I gave you for Myrddin's appearance. Otherwise I'll be fighting my own protective wards over Hogwarts to protect you. Either way you'll be safe even if one of the options hurts me."

Hope hefted the Sword up with a dangerous smile. "Onto other matters cause I really wanna destroy this Horcrux."

Lady Emrys twirled the Sword in her hand as she moved back to the Siphoning Circle. She swung the Sword of Gryffindor in a perfect arch bringing it down swiftly on the cauldron, cleaving it in two pieces.

A loud screech filled the air as a black smoke left violently from the cauldron as the Horcrux was destroyed.

The room was silent for a moment.

"You know I thought that would be harder." Hope thought aloud as she manoeuvred the sword in practised motions she learned over the years from her father, Dr Saltzaman and the Goblins.

Both Seer and ghost hummed in unison whereas Myrddin flew over to Hope clutching onto her right shoulder. Hope stopped swinging the Sword as she flipped it in her hand catching it by the blade before offering the priceless artefact to the black coloured bird.

"Here Myrddin. Can you take this back home please?"

The onyx Phoenix snatched up the jewelled hilt in his claws before flaming away. Hope clapped her hands and rubbed them together.

"Well that takes care of one problem and now I know this will work on…" Hope veered off as she saw the Grey Lady. "... Other things. Oh would you look at the time! It's time for DADA. Bye!"

The following day had the Hogwarts students heading home for the end of the school year, Hope had cast a notice me not charm on herself, but excluded Daphne from the spell. So when Hope came across Daphne on the train before she walked into a compartment with her friends, Hope touched Daphne's arm to gain her attention. "Can you join me in the compartment 3 doors down and to the right? You might need to tell your friends you'll join them a little later. They can't see me."

Hope had walked to the specified compartment and cast another notice me not charm on the compartment to stop any uninvited parties. She saw Daphne coming towards her and walked into the compartment and shut the door behind her.

Hope casted a privacy charm on the door.

"Hi Hope." Daphne breathed out in relief.

"Hi love. Sorry for stealing you from your friends."

"It's fine. How did you manage to hide from them anyway?"

Hope shrugged. "Notice me not charm. Excluding you of course, love."

Daphne rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Cute… Darling." Daphne tried cautiously, her smile turning shy.

Hope smirked at the endearment. "Thank you. I try."

Hope brought her hand up to cup Daphne's cheek and gave her a soft kiss before pulling away. "Also thank you for the term of affection."

Daphne had a smile after the kiss she just received. "Mmm."

Hope rubbed Daphne's cheek softly. "Anyhow I asked you here to inform you of some information I got from the Sorting Hat and my subconscious… My damn Vampire and Wolf realised the answer nearly a year and a half ago. Assholes."

The blonde girl covered Hope's hand on her cheek. "What do you need to tell me?"

"Well, it turns out that I can legally be with you even by Wizengamot's standards."

Daphne's ice blue eyes widened and Hope continued her thought. "Since I'm Lady Emrys, I outrank every House in the Wizarding World. Because of this I can be with whomever I wish, including a woman, it wouldn't even matter if I wished to be with a Magical Creature. I mention this option because it may involve you becoming an immortal."

"Why?" Daphne asked, shocked as she shakily sat down on the seat behind her. "Why would I have to become an immortal?"

"You may have to become an immortal. It definitely doesn't have to happen now. But if I use my Legendary House status to be together. I would need to make a Vow on my Emrys ring in front of your Head of House and Vow to protect, cherish and love you for the rest of my life. And as you know I'm immortal. So the rest of my life is a very long time and I don't know if my Vow would automatically kick in and make you a Tribrid, an immortal. I don't know love." Hope explained crouching in front of Daphne taking her hands within her own.

"Another thing I need to tell you is I can't return to my universe without you if I make this Vow. Where you go, I go. No matter which universe I'm in you need to be there otherwise we'd either both die or get knocked into a coma until we are reunited."

Daphne blinked a few times before zoning out with a stoic mask on her face. "Do you want to go back?"

Hope nodded her head slowly. "I do. But I also want to be with you. So I was thinking of hanging in this universe until 2030 shows up then I wouldn't even need a time travel spell. I could just jump between universes. Since I'll have 35 years to learn how to jump back to my universe I could figure out how to return here as well, so we can hop back and forth between the two worlds without leaving either world behind."

Hope smiled as she stood up slowly. "I'm somewhat finding myself at home in this universe and that is thanks mainly to you. I love you Daphne Greengrass."

Hope leaned down to kiss the top of Daphne's head.

Daphne looked up to wet sea coloured eyes. "Hope, I love you too. But I need time to think about this. Are you going to be in this compartment the entire trip?"

Hope had a tear running down her cheeks, but she nodded. Daphne's slim hands cradled Hope's face. "Hope I'm not saying no but you know this will change our lives forever if we go ahead with this. Right?"

"I know. But I don't want to lose you to your father's narrowmindedness" Hope sobbed quietly before she continued harshly. "He could potentially take away your choice and marry you to some boy for political purposes. You would hate that. I would hate that and I would kill whomever you were betrothed to."

Daphne shivered at Hope's words knowing that it could be true and wiping away her own tears of fear. "I know. But I need time to think. I'll come back here before the train pulls into Kings Cross. Okay?"

Daphne collected her thoughts and emotions, hiding them behind her Occlumency barriers before exiting the compartment.

Hope cried for nearly an hour before curling up on the seat that Daphne vacated, taking in Daphne's lingering scent before falling asleep.

The smell of fresh snow, oranges and parchments brought Hope back into reality and Hope opened her eyes suddenly causing the blonde girl in front of her to flinch back in surprise.

The girl from another universe sat up slowly and appraised her Mate cautiously. "Have you decided?"

Daphne sighed and sat down beside the Tribrid taking one of Hope's hands between her own.

"I have." Daphne dragged out slowly before gulping down her fear.

"I want to be with you, Hope Mikaelson." Daphne smiled shyly before adding softly, "Always and Forever."

Hope's eyes latched onto ice blue orbs and Hope's eyes glowed both literally and figuratively as a grin as deep as the oceans spread across her face.

"Yeah?" An exceptionally hopeful voice asked.

Daphne was in awe at the look on Hope's face and a wide grin came to Daphne's face as well. "Yeah."

Hope took Daphne's face in her hands and she kissed Daphne like her life depended on it because to her it did.

The two girls were kissing for the rest of the train trip, which unfortunately didn't feel long enough for the two girls in love.

When they broke apart after 20 minutes of kissing and caressing the other girl's face, Hope managed to ask quietly. "Do you want me to make the Vow immediately when we get home or do you want to wait until the end of the Summer?"

Daphne let out a shuddering sigh. "Doing it immediately will stop my father from making any contracts but leaves me with him to look at me in contempt for the entire holiday. However, doing it at the end means I can't be hanging out with you this Summer as my father will take me on excursions to the other wealthy families to find me a suitor."

Hope gives a displeased look at the outcomes Daphne has mentioned. "I'll do it immediately tonight then. If he dares to treat you any differently than the princess you are, I will rain down hell on your father with my Legendary influence and take over the Neutral Faction. Then I'll call on the life-debt he owes me for curing his daughter."

Daphne blinks in surprise as the options Hope listed. "Any of those options would ruin my father's reputation."

"They would politically ruin your father but he would live. I would never kill your father, but I can most certainly make life for him excruciatingly difficult." Hope corrected with a shrug.

"If he can't find it in himself to love you no matter what your sexual preferences are. Then he doesn't deserve you."

After their talk Hope left the train quickly grabbing Nic and Nelle on her way through pulling them both to the Floo. As they arrived at Flamel Cottage she informed Nic and Nelle of everything she learned from the Hat.

The Tribrid also gave a memory of the event including her mental conversations she had with Myrddin and the Hat as well as the Founders. Now Nic and Nelle could watch the memory in a pensive they had ordered last year, for this very reason of watching Hope's memories after a school year to see what they had missed out on.

Nic and Nelle watched the memory and when they came out of the pensive Nic was shocked and Nelle was pale.

"Mixy can you get a Calming Draught for both Nic and Nelle? I think my memory broke them." Hope requested from the House-Elf.

A pop came a few seconds later holding two potions out to Hope. "Here you go Lady Hope."

"Thank you Mixy." She said as she accepted the proffered potions from the cheerful House Elf. Hope walked up to both of the adults and tilted their heads back so she could pour the potions into their mouths. Nic and Nelle shook their heads and coughed as the liquid went down their throats.

Hope smirked at them. "Feel better? So what do you think about what the Hat said?"

Nelle raised her hands in annoyance and walked out of the room in a huff, muttering explicits. "Damn kid's more interested in the conversation than the damn 60 foot fucking Basilisk that she and the Potter boy fought. Morgana, fuck me."

Hope snorted as Perenelle left. "I know she cares about me but Daphne is more important to me than the Basilisk, so the snake is rated very low on my current list of things to worry about, especially considering I'm meeting with Marcus Greengrass for dinner tonight."

Nicolas nodded slowly before answering. "Yeah she knows, but you did fight a Basilisk in the memory you showed us. It's very distracting knowing our daug--- ward was in a battle with a XXXXX Magical Creature."

Hope looked at Nic with raised eyes at the near slip. "That's fair."

Nelle came back into the room with an upset look on her face.

Hope sighed.

"I'm sorry, Nelle. Nic. I know that you both worry about me and I'm sorry if you think I'm brushing your worry about my safety off. But I have survived a lot and even if the Basilisk had killed me I wouldn't have been dead for long. Any near death situations I've been in, it has happened so regularly that it's become my new normal. It doesn't bother me in the way it bothers others. Especially people who care about me like parents would." Hope apologised to the Flamel's.

"If you want, you can both call me your daughter. I'm starting to like it here and I'll most likely be staying in this universe for quite some time thanks to a Vow I'll be making to Daphne tonight." At Hope's declaration Nic and Nelle pulled Hope into a hug.

"We'll discuss the Basilisk at a later date. We'd be honoured to call you our daughter but we also understand if you're not ready to call us your parents. We'd never take that privilege from Klaus and Hayley." Perenelle said into Hope's shoulder.

Hope leaned into the Flamel's, "I know."

Hope released a stuttering breath, "I'll try calling you both my parents over the holidays. See how it fits."

After a few moments of hugging, Nic recalled a part of Hope's confession. "Wait. What did you mean by a Vow?"

Hope rolled her eyes and untangled herself from the hug before sitting down on the lounge and explaining the stipulation for a member from a Legendary House can be with anyone they please so long as they make a Vow. Nic and Nelle were slightly worried like Hope was in regards to the forever part of the Vow. It was highly likely that Daphne would have to become an immortal.

Hope had suggested the Elixir of Life along with a spell from Hope's universe to create immortals similar to her Aunt Freya than Silas or Amara. Hope didn't want to turn Daphne into a Vampire. Not even Hope's own Vampire wanted their blonde haired beauty to become a Vampire, to be forced to feed off another to survive and to lose her magic.

When night time finally rolled around, Hope transfigured some of her regular clothes into formal robes before the Flamels and Hope Floo'ed over to Greengrass Manor. After pleasantries were given Hope requested to speak to Marcus privately for a moment.

He led her to his office and walked over to his chair to sit down.

"Let me guess. You love my daughter and want to be with her?" He asked in an uninterested tone.

"Yep. That's right. I'm just hoping that you are a good man and a good father. Otherwise you will not enjoy this conversation at all." Hope answered with a glare.

Marcus scoffed. "You may say that. But it doesn't matter, the Wizengamot would never allow it."

Hope tilted her head to the side in curiosity. "You don't mind that you daughter is gay?"

The Head of the Greengrass family sighed. "No, I don't. I even like you for my daughter Hope. But this isn't possible. Daphne is the Heir to a Most Ancient and Noble House. She has responsibilities in the Magical World. She can't date, marry or even mess around with you as it would disgrace my familys' name."

Hope grinned.

"I'm glad I don't have to threaten you. Daphne would've been very upset with me if I had to blackmail you. I have good news!" Hope brought her right hand in front of her and willed the Emrys ring to appear on her index finger causing Marcus' jaw to drop in surprise.

"I am Lady Emrys. Since I am of a House even greater than a Most Ancient and Noble House I get priority in the Wizarding World as you may remember from my Bill of Entitlement?"

Marcus' eyes widened and he was able to work his jaw again. "You managed to discredit a lot of members of the Wizengamot with that Bill. You tricked all the Dark Families into signing the Bill and bringing the charges of corruption on just about everyone. It was impressive."

Hope smirked. "Thank you for the compliment, though I do believe King Ragnok deserves most of your appreciation. He pulled off the prank with flying colours."

Hope's face lost its humour as she brought the conversation back. "Anyways back to Daphne. Since I am from a Legendary House I am allowed to be with whomever I desire and that is Daphne. Although for this to come into effect, I need to make a Vow to you. So if you have any complaints let's hear them before I do this, father-in-law."

Marcus let out a chuff of laughter at Hope's snark. "No complaints. You managed to do something impossible for my daughter. I approve whole-heartedly so long as Daphne does as well."

Hope gave a small smile. "Good."

Hope smelled Daphne at the door and smiled. "Just one second." She mentioned as she held up one finger before heading to the door and opening it. "Come in, love."

The Greengrass Heiress walked into the office with a sheepish and nervous smile, fearing the outcome of this conversation.

Hope took Daphne's hand in her own, rubbing the back of the blonde's hand. "Relax love. This talk went much better than I was expecting it to. Marcus, maybe you would like to explain to your daughter?"

Daphne looked back and forth between her Mate and her father, noticing the lack of anger on either person's face allowing the blonde to relax slightly as her father started talking to her. "I'm sorry, Daphne."

The blonde blinked once in shock as she stared at her father. "I knew you were a Witches' Witch since you were about 8. But because of the standards the Wizengamot has placed on our House I knew you could never be with a woman and I think you believed this too."

He bent down to a knee and reached out to take Daphne's other hand before looking between her and Hope. "But now, with Hope you have the possibility to be with a woman without consequence to our House or the Wizengamot. Is this something you want?"

Daphne nodded. "Yes, daddy."

Hope raised an eyebrow at the innuendo and smirked to herself.

Marcus looked at Hope. "Well then. I guess you have my blessing. But if you hurt her I'll make your life hell."

Hope scoffed before replying with an eye roll.

"One. I'd never hurt Daphne. Ever. Two. Do remember which Faction I am in and just how many people owe me favours for accusing me for opening the Chamber of Secrets, basically if push came to shove I could take the Neutral Faction out from under your nose and there's nothing you can do to stop it. I have more points but I'll keep those ones to myself." Hope smirks at the man who became very pale at the threat.

Daphne took her hand back from her father and hit Hope's shoulder softly. "Stop threatening my father."

"Yes love." Hope replied instantly and placatedly.

Hope held her right hand up with her ring facing Marcus. "I Hope Mikaelson, the current Lady Emrys, swear on my life and Magic to protect, cherish and love Daphne Greengrass for the rest of my life. So I swear so mote it be."

The Emrys ring flashed and another flash caught Hope's eye as Daphne received the partner ring from the Emrys family collection. This ring was located on Daphne's right index finger, mirroring Hope's Emrys ring.

Hope was going to make a smartass comment about being married but decided to ignore the urge, instead she asked. "Marcus, can you keep quiet about knowing who Lady Emrys is? I need to move in the shadows a little longer."

To which he nodded, Hope turned to face Daphne.

"Time to tell your family about us being together, I'll need to ask them to keep my secret as well. I'm sorry to ask love but I need you to hide that ring when you are not with your family or mine, until I'm ready to showcase myself as Lady Emrys. It will give us enough time to train you to defend yourself as anyone will go after you to get to the Head of a Legendary House." Hope requested her Mate who looked slightly sad.

"I thought we were going to date and go to Hogsmeade together?" Daphne said with a quiet voice.

"Oh love. I plan on dating you publicly if you'd like or even secretly if you want to hide it from the school. But I will be spending time with you next year at school, it's become even easier now knowing that my notice me not charm works exceptionally well. I can meet up with you and no one would know."

Daphne smiled pleasantly. "Good. I'm happy to do the secret rendezvous for 3rd year but I want to do things more publically the following year, if that's fine with you?"

Hope thought through the timeline she knew and in 3rd year she had a feeling that she would be hiding herself more than normal thanks to Lupin's Lycanthropy, 4th year was the Goblet of Fire. Hope recalled the Yule Ball at school and would love to go to the Ball with her Mate.

"Sounds fantastic to me love." Hope replies with a dreamy smile.

As Hope, Daphne and Marcus joined the rest of their families, Daphne made a beeline for her mother and showed the partner ring for the Emrys House with a gigawatt smile on her face. "Turns out the impossible can happen mum. I'm betrothed to Lady Emrys."

Annabeth's jaw dropped in utter disbelief while Astoria grabbed her sister's hand to look at the ring. "Sweet Merlin! That is a beautiful ring!"

Stori looked at her dad. "Daddy? Can I get one too?"

Marcus's eyes widened at the implication and he froze as still as a statue whereas the Flamel family were laughing.

Hope brought up her own hand showing the matching ring on Daphne's hand.

"Sorry Stori. But I'm afraid that there are only two of these Emrys rings. Since this one is the Head of House ring I can't give this one away and I plan on marrying your sister one day, so we can't give you that one either." Astoria looks downcast with a hint of mirth in her eyes.

"Don't pout, Stori. It doesn't suit you." Hope teased the young brunette girl.

Daphne rolled her eyes at the interaction between her betrothed and her little sister, "Brats." She muttered peutantly.

Astoria poked her tongue out at her sister before smiling happily. "But I am so happy for the two of you. Plus I get Hope as a cooler older sister."

Hope snorted at Astoria's comment before making a joke. "Trust me Daphne is definitely the cooler one out of us two."

Daphne scoffed and shook her head in exasperation at Hope's teasing.

"Turns out all the kids know how to rib each other. Poor Nelle, she's going to have a heart attack before Hope's even out of school." Nic amusedly laughed while looking at his wife, Hope snorted from beside Nelle.

Nelle clenched her teeth and looked ahead at the Greengrass women before swinging both her arms out to whack both Nic and Hope on their shoulders.

Hope put a look of fake hurt on her face before putting her hand over her heart.

"Ow. Mum, that hurt. It hurts right here." Hope said as she tapped her hand over her heart a couple of times.

Nic and Nelle straightened suddenly and turned to Hope with a shocked but incredibly proud look at the familiar term from the teenager.

"Wait! You're Lady Emrys!?" Annabeth choked out.

"Yep." The auburn haired girl confirmed casually.

"Although I will need your family to hide this information from everyone. I'd like to surprise the Wizengamot on my own terms." She added with a malicious smirk.

Annabeth blinked once in disbelief before turning to her daughter then her husband, who seems to be taking this better than she was expecting. "You knew?"

"Only since Hope dragged me away earlier to get my 'blessings' to one day be able to marry Daphne." Marcus explained with fingered air-quotes.

A look of confusion passed Annabeth's face until Hope answered the unasked question. "Oh I was going to make my Vow no matter what Marcus said. Since Lord Greengrass was more open-minded than I thought, our conversation went quite well."

All of a sudden Anna yanked her eldest daughter into a tight hug and squealed in delight that her daughter was able to be with someone she could be happy and content with, instead of being trapped in a loveless marriage with a man.

When Anna took both of Daphne's hands in her hands, cradling her daughter's fingers she felt another ring on Daphne's left index finger and frowned in confusion. Seeing her mother's uncertain look made Daphne's heart skip a beat and drew Hope's attention to the girls, appraising the interaction with scrutiny.

Anna brought her eyes to meet her daughter's ice blue eyes. "Honey? Why do you still have the Greengrass Heir ring?"

Daphne visibly flinched and looked down to her left hand.

"I-- I don't know." She stuttered before looking over to Hope, "Do you know Hope?"

Hope blinked blankly before looking over to Nic and Nelle who also had shocked looks on their face as well as Marcus, Hope turned back to Daphne before shaking her head. "No, I don't. But I feel like I'm missing something important. Why wouldn't the Heir ring stay on Daphne's finger? She's the eldest Greengrass child."

All eyes locked on Hope in disbelief and she started to feel like fidgeting before Nicolas slapped his forehead with his palm. "Sorry Hope. I keep forgetting you don't know all the rules here yet."

Nic sighed and looked at his confused adopted daughter. "Basically when there are only 2 female heirs in one Wizarding family the eldest is named Heir. But if the eldest marries into a House of higher standing, they join that family so the Heir ring should pass to the next in line to continue their family line. Especially with the Greengrass's being a Most Ancient and Noble family it should've passed onto Astoria."

"So… the Heir ring stays on the Heir who can continue their family's legacy?" Hope summarised with the tilt of her head as she stared at Daphne flashing her Wolf eyes for the faintest second causing Daphne's eyes to widen in understanding as her and Hope had discussed Daphne's eventual immortality on the train.

Hope made an instant telepathic connection to Daphne. 'Don't tell them of my immortality just yet. Depending on how they handle the Lady Emrys' information I'll tell your family next year about being a Tribrid and your true connection to me, my love.'

Daphne locked eyes with her Mate. 'Then you will need to come up with a valid excuse to explain my Greengrass Heir ring, like right now.'

Hope thought for a moment thinking what to say for a bullshit excuse and a figurative light bulb appeared over her head. "I've read in some of the political books I found in the Emrys vault, that a member of a Legendary House can take the family name of multiple Houses. For instance Daphne is my partner but she wouldn't be known as Lady Emrys, she would be the Consort to Lady Emrys, but Daphne would still keep her family title of Lady Greengrass when she eventually becomes the Head of the Greengrass family. I would be known as the Consort to Lady Greengrass. So technically our families are joined but they also allowed Daphne and I to keep our Houses independant from one another. If I bore a child they would be the next Heir Emrys while if Daphne bore a child they would be the next Heir Greengrass."

Everyone looked shocked at Hope while Daphne subconsciously asked, 'Is that true?' With a vacant expression.

"If you guys don't believe me I'll let Daphne borrow the book from the Emrys vault now that she has access to it and she can find the rule. I promise it's true." Hope mentioned with a genuine smile while looking at the blonde haired Mate.

"Sweet Morgana… I can enter the Emrys vault…"

Hope nodded with a sweet smile. "Yes, love. You can."

"Well shit!" Daphne breathed.

"Language!" Marcus and Anna called out instinctually.

Hope snorted in amusement. "I'm glad I'm not the one being told to mind my language from mum and dad."

Nic and Nelle turned to give a playful glare to the Tribrid. "There's still time to change that Hope."

Hope smirked at Perenelle's words earning her an eye roll from the Healer as she played with a ring on her left index finger.

Hope froze suddenly, the entire room noticed Hope's body language and Daphne asked. "What's wrong?"

Hope blinked once as she lifted her left hand to chest height and glanced down to her index finger before sucking in a breath. "Uh… Nothing is wrong. But it seems that my theory of Consorts is accurate."

Hope turned her hand around, showing Daphne the back of her hand, wiggling her index finger. Daphne's eyes widened in surprise as she shot off the lounge to grasp Hope's hand and inspected the matching silver Greengrass ring. The bulky ring had a large deep emerald face with a silver etched bonsai tree in the middle.

Daphne looked over Hope's left hand to lock eyes with shocked sea-blue orbs. "Well, that definitely authenticates the Consort rule."

Hope nodded absently as took her hand back to play with the Greengrass Consort ring.
