Discliamer I own nothing
Grimmauld place was in an uproar with all Weasleys staying there until the burrow was finished, with Ginny refusing to go back to Hogwarts, as a result Molly was furious.
"you need to finish Hogwarts, Ginerva. You need you education, what are you going to do without one?"Molly shouted at her obstinant daughter.
"I don't need to do anything, Mom! I'm going to live with Harry, he will provide for me, of course, beside education isn't everything. Fred and George are doing just fine and they didn't sit their n.e.w.ts." Ginny protested.
Hermione, who was sitting at the table listening to this exchange had to speak up.
"Actually, Ginny, they did sit their newts at the same time I did. Our results should be here any day now, do you really think Harry is going to let you live off him? He's at the Ministry right now talking to Kingsley about Auror training and as far as I recalled you two aren't back together. So living off of Harry is kind of improbable, isn't it?" Hermione pointed out calmly, her fingers steepled before her. To say Ginny was mad was an understatement, in response she ranted to Hermione.
"Nobody asked for your opinion, you swot! We may not be together right now, but we will be. So help Merlin if you try and interfere, Hermione, I will curse into the next life. Harry is MINE." Ginny shouted, Hermione raising an eyebrow in reply.
"Well; nobody told me this. I don't think that's going to work out for you, Gin, as I don't swing that way. If you even think of cursing my sister, I will have you thrown into Azkaban for life." assured Harry as he walked into the kitchen.
"Molly, I'm sorry, but if this how Ginny feels I must ask you leave grimuald place. The burrow is almost finished, you can stay there, but I will not have Ginny threaten Hermione; especially since she owns this house. Sirius left his fortune to her; not to me." Harry stated firmly, three courses of "excuse me" came for the astounded ladies in the room.
Hermione had no idea Sirius left her fortune to her, why?
"What do you meant he left me his fortune, Harry, how do you know this?" She asked of her best friend.
"Well, Kingsley said something about it while I was talking to him. He said and I quote "with the Malfoys funds dwindled by Voldemort, Hermione, as the only remaining Black is the most well to do in the wizarding world with you coming on as a close second, Harry." So I went to Gringotts and had his will pulled." harry explained as he took said piece of parchment out of his pocket. Ginny, who was absolutely hysterical by this went nutters, Hermione quickly restrained her and spoke to Molly. "Please take her and leave. Don't come back please, the only Weasleys allowed in this house at this time are Fred,George and Percy, so mote it be." As soon as she finished her sentence they were pushed into the floo seemingly by air, while they disappeared Hermione flopped heavily into the chair. With only her and Harry there it was so quiet.
" Fred and George I get, but Percy? Hermione, why?" Harry questioned, both dark brows raised in interest.
"Percy has been nothing but nice to us since the war ended, Harry, and he will need a place to escape from time to time, I'm sure. I wouldn't want to deal with Molly all the time, and you know he's staying with them." Hermione explained quickly, she was still very confused.
"Anyway, Harry, let me see this will." She held out her hand expectantly for the parchment. "Well, there was two letters that came with it and the goblins said we should read these first." he cautioned as he handed her an envelope.
"Okay, let's open them then." she suggested, impatience lacing her voice. She took the papers and unfolded the first letter, scanning the contents.
"To my Hermione; If you are reading this, it means that I never survived the war and I'm sorry I cannot be there for you and that you have to find out this way. You are indeed a Black, you are my neice. I didn't find out you existed until you saved me your third year, after everything was done, Dumbledore took me into his office and told me you were my brothers daughter, but put me under a wizards oath to keep me silent. Upon my death it became void, once you finish this letter and say out loud "I am a Black", your glamour will fade and you will finally see the real you. Please don't be alarmed, I must tell you I love you and I'm sorry I can't be there. Love your Uncle Sirius
P.s your mother's name was Liviana Malfoy
P.p.s I'm sorry your father never got to meet you, and I know you will become something amazing.
Hermione was incoherent for about a minute her mind whirling. Not just a Black, but a Malfoy as well!!
"I am a Black." Hermione mumbled, Harry lurching forward as she suddenly collapsed to the ground. Harry rushed her to floo and yelled "st mungos" and the green flames engulfed them off to the hospital.
When Harry arrived carrying a still passed out Hermione, he was absently trying to figure out why she suddenly looked like a Malfoy. He hailed the first medi witch he saw and asked for a room for the unconscious witch, with that quickly settled because the boy who lived gets whatever he wants. Harry sent a patrons to professor Snape who she was apprenticing under to help him get to the bottom of the strange transformation his best friend went thru.
Hermione woke up to white walls and hushed whispers, why was she in St Mungos? Then she remembered the letter and ran to the closest mirror and let out a slightly horrified noise she looked so different she was still the same height but her body filled out a bit, she no longer looked malnourished from her year on run. But the biggest change was her hair and face, her eyes were grey like Sirius's her hair straight and so blond it was almost white malfoy hair.
The commotion of running to see her reflection broke the whispered voices to stop and pay attention to the girl in the mirror. Harry immediately jumped on the main question in his brain "what did the letter say and what happened Hermione I had just finished my letter you mumbled something the bam you on the ground." Hermione still very shaken was taking a moment to calm down and orient herself when the silky voice of her master Severus Snape cut thru her thoughts "what this dunderhead forgot to ask was are you well apprentice" her brain automatically responds "I'm fine master just heavily shaken and to answer your question harry the letter told me I am Black and a Malfoy" as she let that sink in the first thing I noticed was Harry's slight horrified look and her master understanding his brain slowly link the pieces together "Regulus Black and Liviana Malfoy" it was a hushed whisper "Just so, did you know my mother" Hermione asked of her master.
Severus took a deep breath "as you know I considered Regulus a friend. I knew of your mother she was in Reggie's year Lucuis' younger sister she was striking. With your unglamoured look there is no doubts who your parents are Hermione. I am not sure why you were placed in a muggle home or why you were glamoured in the first place but I know something that will" Harry who was still trying to take this all in but caught on to snapes thought "Dumbledore's portrait let's go get some answers Hermione." Harry was almost out the door when he realised that the two other people in the room with him were not moving " harry i need to get checked by a healer and be discharged before we go rushing off to seek justice for me, which is sweet but I've waited 18 years to know who my real parents are a hour longer in isn't that long to wait" Hermione shrugged off Harry's concern she has always knew she was adopted the grangers were kind and loving parents and believed in honesty but the glamour was a surprise.
While Harry waited with Hermione Severus apparatted to the gates of Hogwarts, Hermione might not need answers right away he did. Regulus was his friend how could Dumbledore hide this from well everybody. As he got to the gargoyle said the password and flew up the staircase to Minerva's office " sorry to barge in her like this Minerva but I have to talk to the previous headmasters portrait about one Hermione Black" he said as he turned to face Dumbledore, who looked slighty shocked," how did she find out she should have never found out ever it was for the greater good you must understand Severus with such powerful bloodlines the dark lord would want her for his side much like Draco." "Draco wasn't that powerful if Harry could take him down on multiple occasions sir" a slightly out of breath Hermione said from the doorway "sorry headmistress the gargoyle let us in without password" harry said in the way of an apology. "Not a problem my dears Hermione come over her let me have look aye" Minerva said from her desk" Hermione gladly went over to her favorite teacher and former head of house. As Minerva looked at her she kind of shy in her new skin but there only surprise and fondness in her gaze "you look lovely dear" she said and left it at that bless her. Everyone attention turn back to the portrait they were integrating, Severus was the first to question " what exactly happened Albus" The former headmaster sighed really not wanting to explain even more of his seedy past " Just before Regulus died trying to defeat Voldemort he secretly married liviana so her baby would not be born out of wedlock and the blacks would have and heir, she came to me a week after he went missing she explained it all to me her fears about the dark lord, I hid her away until the baby was born, sadly she died during your birth I'm sorry dear I had no choice but to glamour you and give you to the Grangers they desperately wanted a baby they were the perfect fit. I feel like there were no other choices" all the occupants were silent for a minute just as a little terrier patrons zoomed thru the room "harry mate we need to talk why can't i get into grimmauld what this about hermione throwing out me mum. Let me into Hogwarts now.
