Chapter 1 by Song of the Sea
Harriet laid on a bed in the Room of Requirements contemplating on what she just learned.

It was after classes for the day, but she did not want to be around her housemates for the rest of the day.

(Flashback starts)

Harriet was in the Headmaster's office under her father's invisibility cloak. And what she heard changed her life.

"Does Harriet suspect anything from you two?" The Headmaster.

"No, Professor. She doesn't even know that we're being paid to be her friends. As long as she doesn't find out that Prof. Prince-Malfoy is her mother, the better." Hermione.

Tears welled up in her eyes as the feeling of betrayal bubbled in her stomach.

"I'm excited about the marriage contract between her and Ron. We'll officially be sisters!" Ginny.

"Me too. As soon as she has a child, we'll kill her and get the Potter family fortune all to ourselves." Ron.

Harriet couldn't take it anymore, she started crying quietly and ran out of the office and to the RoR.

(Flashback ends)


Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were being paid to be her friends and that Mrs. Weasley and the Headmaster cooked up an illegal marriage contract between her and Ron without her consent or knowledge!


Well, at least Prof. McGonagall tried to stop it.There was only one other person who understood how she felt, Prof. Prince-Malfoy, who she just learned was her mother.


Prof. Saoirse Prince-Malfoy, Lady of the House of Prince and younger half-sister of Lucius Malfoy, was the kindest teacher in the whole school, and the most popular.


Her Potions lessons were always fun, and she even let them choose to work in groups or work alone. Most of the students thought of her as a second mother, as she was always comforting them whenever they were upset or needed help.


She was also known as the 'Eyelash Viper' in Slytherin House because whenever she punished her Snakes, no one ever knew how or what she did.


With that in mind, Harriet made her way to the dungeons to talk to her and Prof. McGonagall about what's on her mind.


Upon reaching the entrance to her quarters, the portrait swung open and allowed her and the Transiguration Professor entrance to the room.


In front of the fire, Saoirse was seated in a plush armchair with a cup of tea in hand, a relaxed expression gracing her porcelain face. Her quarters were painted in an ocean theme with a selkie mural painted on the ceiling.


Hearing the door closing, she turned and smiled at her two favorite people. "Hello, Harriet. Minerva. What brings you down here to the dungeons?" she chirped, noticing how Harriet's face fell into a frown and Minerva's lips thinning. That alone let her know that something was bothering her colleague and student.


"What's got you two looking like you just ate the sourest lemon?" Saoirse asked, concerned.


Minerva looked up at her younger colleague and answered, "Dumbledore has been paying Granger and the younger Weasleys to be Harriet's friends and to spy on her. He also set up a marriage contract between Harriet and Ronald. Harriet had no idea of any of this and we both know how she feels about being left in the dark about things that concern her life."


Harriet took that ask her cue to speak up. "I hate feeling like a puppet. And I feel like I've known you from somewhere, Prof. Prince-Malfoy. Like you're a relative of mine or something. I also feel that something's causing me to act more submissive than I usually am. I used to be more outgoing, brave, cunning, and smart and I was at the top of my class since I started muggle primary school. I also feel like I'm not even Harriet Potter!!" the distraught child ranted.


Saoirse stood up from her chair and asked them to follow her to the Floo. With a shout of, "Gringotts!", they disappeared into the swirling emerald flames and landed in the goblin bank.


One of the goblins came up to the three ladies and asked for identities and purposes. Saoirse answered that they were here for inheritance tests for both her and Harriet. The two ladies were lead into a room where two pieces of parchment and a golden, decorated dagger laid on a stone table. Inside the room, Griphook was waiting for them. He instructed them to cut their fingers and place seven drops of blood onto the parchment. Harriet went first and then Saoirse.

Harriet, or should I say Bronagh, was shocked. She really was Saoirse's daughter. Her mother and father were alive. She looked up at Saoirse and whispered, "Mummy?", bringing tears to her biological mother's eyes.

"Yes, my little Bronagh. I'm your mummy." the woman whispered, the love in her heart overwhelming at reuniting with her and Tom's little girl.

There was only one thing going through their minds at that moment. "Mummy," Bronagh said with her voice steeled in determination and ruby red eyes glowing with power and fury. "we need to bring some truths to light."


"I couldn't agree more, Starshine." Saoirse agreed, a devious smirk creeping it's way onto her face.

Chapter 2 by Song of the Sea
Author's Notes:
Same disclaimer as the last chapter.
Griphook stood aside for a few more minutes watching the mother and daughter get acquainted before asking the two ladies a question. "Would you and your daughter like to claim your lady and heirships,Lady Slytherin?"


Bronagh and Saoirse both nodded and placed the rings on their fingers. But, Saoirse's consort ring transformed into a golden crown with two emerald snakes surrounding a diamond shell horn.


It floated onto her head and placed itself right onto her forehead, surrounding her with a golden aura. Two platinum white streaks appeared in two of her brown stripes, making her hair tri-toned.


"Whoa, Mummy! You're so pretty! Do you think Uncle Lucy, Draco, and Auntie Cissa will come with us to live at Riddle Manor with Daddy?" Bronagh asked her mother while climbing into her lap. Bronagh, while she was still Harriet Potter, was abused by the Dursleys. Forced to do the chores like a house elf and denied much food and sun after the little pearl was taken from her parents, her growth and weight were stunted, so she looks like a 9 year old child instead of a preteen.


There was one thing that Saoirse was curious about, though.


"Griphook, why did two stripes of my hair turn white?" she asked the goblin while hugging her daughter in her lap, who was beginning to drift off to sleep. The goblin just laughed before he answered the Lady Slytherin. "Well, your highness, Lady Magic herself has recognized you and your daughter as the daughters of Neptune, King of the Sea. Congratulations on become the Queen and Princess of the Selkies. We'll work on getting some dirt on Dumbledore, none of us trusted him anyway, and you can return to Hogwarts."


The Selkie Queen stood up with her daughter fast asleep in her arms before saying the signature goblin department. "Thank you so much for reuniting me with my daughter, Griphook. May your gold always flow and prosper."


"And may your enemies fall at your feet, Lady Slytherin-Ravenclaw."


With those words exchanged,the two exited the bank where Minerva was waiting outside. She smiled at the sleeping child that Saoirse was holding, before noticing that half her hair was black, and the other half was the silver blonde of the Malfoy family.


"It's her. Bronagh, my little sorrow, was Harriet Potter all along, Minerva. And, we're the owners of Hogwarts. Turns out that I'm the Lady Consort Slytherin AND Lady Ravenclaw, while Bronagh is the heiress to all four. The two of us along with my husband are the owners of Hogwarts. She's also the heiress of Merlin and Morgana LeFay. That makes my little shell the richest witch in the world. I've asked the goblins to send word to Tom, and he's coming to Hogwarts tomorrow morning before breakfast." Saoirse explained, answering her unasked questions. "My older brother and sister-in-law are also coming too. I'm sure that they'd love to see their niece again."


With that, the two women Apparated back to Hogwarts, the Selkie Princess fast asleep in her long-lost mother's arms. The next morning at about six o'clock, Saoirse's Floo went off and out of the emerald flames stepped Tom Marvolo Riddle-Slytherin, husband of Saoirse and father ofBronagh Prince-Riddle-Malfoy-Slytherin.


He had dark brown hair that reached his shoulders and the Slytherin Lord ring adorned his right ring finger. Bronagh, now with her heterochromia hair tied up in a high ponytail with a large, dark ribbon adorned with a seashell, rushed up to her father and leapt into his arms.


"Daddy! Daddy!" the preteen squealed as she hugged her dad's neck. Tom, or as he preferred to be called 'Marvolo' by his friends, stood shocked for a moment, before hugging his daughter. Once Bronagh released his neck, he just had to ask if it was really her. "Bronagh?" Tom asked, the black and white haired child nodding eagerly before nuzzling into his warm chest, the sound of his gentle heartbeat lulling her into a light daze. It was at that moment that Saoirse decided to greet her husband.



"Hello, darling. I see that you've gotten one of Bronagh's hugs." the woman lightly teased before placing a feather-like kiss on Tom's cheek. To Tom, her laughter was musical- like a flute. It seemed like just yesterday that he returned to Hogwarts so that she could accept his courtship.



(Flashback starts)


It was breakfast time at Hogwarts, and it was a special day. Not only was it Saoirse's 16th birthday, but her secret admirer was coming to propose marriage! The poor Slytherin girl was bouncing in her seat and unable to keep a grin off of her face, she was so excited, much to the amusement of her fellow Slytherins.


What the girl didn't know was that almost all of the boys in school were vying for her attention, even the Marauders stopped pranking her during 3rd year just to try and win her over. She loved James and Lily, but only as a brother and sister. Saoirse had finally forgiven the Marauders for all of their pranks and now they were friends. Just then, the crack of Apparation was heard and a really handsome man appeared that had all of the girls blushing.


The man, looking to be in his mid twenties, had dark brown hair that went just past his shoulders and ruby red eyes that could stop even Dumbledore in his tracks. This man, is Tom Marvolo Riddle-Slytherin, Lord of Slytherin and Saoirse's love interest.


"Tom!" Saoirse exclaimed standing up out of her seat, black and silver blonde hair flying everywhere. She was wearing a green ribbon with a silver snake head on the center in her hair, tying it up in a high ponytail. That name caused everyone to freeze. Only one thought went through their heads: 'This is Lord Voldemort'. Suddenly, all of Gryffindor started firing spells at the young Lord, much to Saoirse's distress. Since she was a Selkie, her Song could purify any remaining negative thoughts. So, she started singing.

As soon as she stopped singing, all of the hostile behavior stopped. Tom stepped forward and brought out a beautiful emerald ring.

"Saoirse Layla Prince-Malfoy, daughter of the Noble and Ancient Houses of Malfoy and Prince, Lady of the House of Ravenclaw, will you be my Lady Slytherin? Will you accept my courtship and love me as I love you?" he proposed to the girl in front him, who was staring at him in shock.

Dumbledore looked at her with pleading eyes, begging her not to accept. Everyone else looked on with baited breath, wondering what she'll say. At last, they had their answer. "Yes. Yes, YES!!" Saoirse squealed before throwing herself into Tom's arms, allowing him to slide the ring on her finger. The entire hall erupted in cheers for the upcoming wedding the two Hogwarts heirs.

"Congratulations, Saoirse!!!" Lily squealed, hugging her sister in all but blood.


(Flashback ends)

Now, the two parents were happily reunited with their little girl. Said girl was now sleeping in her father's arms. "I'm glad that she's home with us, Tom. Those Muggles will pay for hurting her. But for now, I'm just glad she's safe." Saoirse mused to her husband.


Tom nodded in agreement as they approached the Great Hall. All conversations stopped when the students and teachers laid their eyes on the child sleeping in Tom's arms.


Saoirse decided to take pity on him, so she said, "I know that you children all have questions. I promise that I will explain in a few minutes. But please, finish your breakfast and I will explain before your first classes."


It seemed that the students were satisfied with her answer, and went back to their breakfast. During that time, Tom gently shook Bronagh awake so she could have breakfast.

Once the students settled down, Saoirse spoke up.

"As most of you know, my teacher name is Saoirse Prince-Malfoy. Yes, I'm the younger half-sister of Lucius Malfoy. But my legal and full name is Lady Saoirse Layla Prince-Malfoy-Ravenclaw-Riddle-Slytherin. The child in Tom's arms is our daughter."

One of the students, a 1st-year Hufflepuff, asked, "What's her name?"

Saoirse replied with a gentle and warm smile, "Her name is Bronagh Elizabeth Prince-Malfoy at school, but her legal and full name is Bronagh Elizabeth Prince-Malfoy-Riddle-Slytherin-Ravenclaw-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Merlin-Lefay-Emyrs."

All the students gasped in shock.

Not only was she the heiress of Hogwarts, but the heiress of Merlin and Morgana as well!

"Furthermore, my daughter's name used to be Harriet Lillian Potter, but her real name is Bronagh," Saoirse explained, before she turned her ice cold blue eyes at the Headmaster.

"But, I'm afraid that as the Lady of Ravenclaw and Consort of Lord Slytherin, I hereby charge one Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore with line theft, kidnapping of a magical child, and a princess at that, and magical core blocking."

Bronagh, who had finally woken up, stood up and held her mum's hand.

The child chanted in Latin,"Ave Domina virtute, nimirum ab officio amovere Albus Dumbledore Scholae et de Witchcraft Wizardry Hogwarts schola. Et interdictum est, scholasticos et judicandus Wizengamot per ipsum, et in his criminibus. Cum domina de High Antiqua adhuc possidebuntur domus et Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Lefay et Emyrs domina de domo Potter et heres adhuc possidebuntur domus et Nigrum: Ubi Sunt, Peverell, et Gandavi ego movebo eum Ronald Billius Molly Elizabethae praestitam et Ginevra Not Sirius Black habent accessum ad a cellariis occludunt illa, proprietatibus, et coronam.. Sic, inquam, sic fiat semper. (By the power of Lady Magic, I hereby remove Albus Dumbledore from his position as headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is banned from the school grounds and will be judged by the Wizengamot and yourself for his crimes. As lady of the High and Ancient Houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Lefay, and Emyrs, lady of the House of Potter, daughter of Lady Magic, the Selkie King and Queen, and Heiress of the Houses of Black, Riddle, Peverell, and Gaunt, I ban him, Ronald Billius, Molly Elizabeth, and Ginevra Molly Weasley from having access to my vaults, properties, and my crown. So I say, so mote it be.)"


Hogwarts and Lady Magic answered her and Albus disappeared from the Head Table, reappearing outside the castle wards.


Tom spoke up, "We hereby instate Aurora Sinistra as Headmistress of Hogwarts and Filius Flitwick as Deputy Headmaster. Aurora is a kind young woman and is good at comforting, while Filus has a fair sense of judgement."


Aurora, the Astronomy teacher, was over the moon and promised to be a good headmistress and Filius promised to help her when she needed it.


Saoirse leaned into her husband's embrace, glad that without Dumbledore's influence they could dissolve the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin once and for all.


It's going to be a long road, but the result will certainly be worth the struggles.
