Granger wasnt always a Granger

by Malinda Lanning

Hermione grew up like all other girls born in the muggle world. So when she received her first letter from Hogwarts, she was surprised. Entering her 4th year, she wondered how she was able to learn it so quick. Now, as her 5th year begins, she finds out.

1. Prologue

Dear Albus,

I trust that you understand my reasons behind asking you to find Lacey a new family. Severus says while he wants nothing to do with her, he does not wish her to come to any harm. As you know, anyone found to be close to Severus is in extreme danger. When Lacey was born I cast a charm concealing her true parentage. But if I keep her and I raise her, there is a very real possibility that it will be revealed. I hope that by asking you to take her, she will escape the danger I am sure to face.

Thank you,

Malinda Lanning
