A NEW LIFE A NEW ME
CHAPTER ONE
FINDING OUT
I woke up late as I usually did during the summer. Then I realized it's my fifteenth birthday! I quickly ran to the bathroom and took my shower and dressed. I ran downstairs where my dad had my birthday breakfast made for me. My father wasn't my birth father he adopted me when I was five. I don't really remember much before the orphanage I got there on my fifth birthday two months later I was adopted by John Granger and I've been with him ever since. My dad's wife Jean Granger died in a car crash a year before he adopted me. He used to tell me stories about her so often I would feel like she was my mother.
"Happy birthday kid-o ", my dad said as he put a stack of my favorite chocolate chip pancakes on my plate.
"Thanks dad. So come on, where are my presents?"
"Well here is the one I got you. There is one from Harry, and some from the Weasleys, and here is the one from Sophie"
"Ooh goody, give me Soph's"
Sophie had been my best friend since dad adopted me. She knew me better than anyone probably better then I know myself. This year she got me a charm bracelet with a bat charm on it.
Harry got me a book on charms. Ginny got me a book all about the history of potions and their makers. Ron got me a box of chocolate frogs. Fred and George got me a whole bunch of things from their shop. Charlie got me a necklace. Bill got me a lot of different candies. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley got me an owl that my dad said had delivered my gifts. A letter came with it saying:
Dear Mione,
Happy birthday Hermione, we hope you like your gifts and hope you are doing well. We thought you might like to come to the Burrow this summer, but if you decide against it we will understand.
Lots of love,
Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Charlie, Bill, Arthur, and Molly Weasley.
Dad had gotten me a new journal with a cat on the cover.
"Hermione sweetheart I think it's time for me to tell you about your family."
"But why Dad you have never really wanted me to know much why now?"
"Because sweetheart you must understand I don't know much because the man who put you in the orphanage did not say much just that you needed to be adopted and raised in England and that he believed your family will come for you one day and that you will have the choice to go with them or stay with whoever adopted you."
"Yeah so, your point is what?"
"Your father is coming for you today."
Just as my 'dad' said that the doorbell rang and we both got up to answer it. When my 'dad' opened the door there in my door way stood none other than Severus Snape and two black haired boys who looked just like Snape with miner differences around my age that I didn't know.
