Mix-up in Paradise
Chapter 1: Memories Part 1
(A/N): This is my first story, so there's a possibility of me messing up. Sorry if that does happen, just go with it. In this story, Hermione is a pureblood instead of a muggleborn. Everybody else remains the same as they are in the books and movies. I would greatly appreciate it if you could review with your opinion on the story or any problems I need to fix. Thanks and enjoy!

Hermione's POV:
My heart was beating fast. I was scared out of my mind. Who knows where this man is taking me. I tripped over my feet a few times trying to stall, but he kept on dragging me down the hallway. He pushed me into a room with him and locked the door, putting a silencing spell on it. I knew that this couldn't end well. I backed up until I hit the wall, which ended up not helping me at all. He immediately ran over to me, pinning me and began to kiss down my neck.
Oh no,… He wouldn't dare…
The next thing I knew I was on tied up to the bed with Lucius hovering above me.
I sat up in my bed shaking and covered in sweat. I looked around the room and saw Harry and Ron asleep in their own beds. Asleep. Safe. Nobody can hurt us now.
I quietly got up out of bed noticing that the sun had already risen and it was about time to wake up anyway. I looked at my calendar realizing what day it is. Today is the day Hagrid had agreed to take us to Diagon Alley to buy our school supplies. Dumbledore had generously given us money for our supplies knowing we'd greatly appreciate it. The teachers at Hogwarts are very nice to us, except Severus Snape. He likes me, but he can't stand Ron or Harry. Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall have been like parents to the three of us. They have allowed us to stay at the castle after we have been found and almost all of them will do anything to protect us. Everybody in this castle is like family now.
I gathered some clothes from my closet, gone into the bathroom and slipped into the shower. I lost track of time and had decided I should get out, especially if Harry or Ron needed to use it. I had dried myself off, dressed myself and had done my hair. No sign of them. I walked back out into our room and saw them still heavily sleeping on their beds. I rolled my eyes, gently woke the both of them up and traveled downstairs to get some breakfast for myself. Shortly after Ron and Harry had joined me, Dumbledore appeared.
"Are the three of you ready to go?" The old man questioned. We simply nodded with the biggest smiles on our faces and followed him down to Hagrid's hut.
As soon as we walked in Hagrid greeted us with a warm, welcoming hug. "Let's get moving friends!"
We followed Hagrid to Diagon Alley and in a matter of time he had taken us to many different stores, purchasing supplies checking off our lists as we go.
"Great! Now all we need is to get your robes and go find out which wand you will receive!" Hagrid said as he led us to a corner shop.
"Welcome! Please, follow me!" An older woman had said to us as we walked in. Hagrid winked at us and left saying he would be back in time to get us.
The older woman led us to a back room with other women fitting young witches and wizards robes. She led each of us over to a group of women and they had begun immediately. I looked around for a little while looking at the knick-knacks lying around the shop when I had noticed a quite good-looking boy for our age. He was pale with blond hair and beautiful silver-gray eyes. I must say, he was quite attractive for a fellow eleven-year-old. I caught myself staring and tried to look away acting as if nothing happened, but I didn't get too lucky. He had caught me looking and just smirked and laughed a little. My face had to have been a bright shade of red by now. I smiled to myself a little.
The tailor told me that I was finished, and I decided to sit down on the nearest couch to wait for Harry and Ron to be finished. I felt the cushion next to me sink down slightly. I looked over to see the attractive boy that had caught me staring a few minutes ago. I blushed again, not knowing what to say.
"You know it's not polite to stare," The boy said. All I could do was give a small smile. "I'm Draco Malfoy. Who might you be?"
"I'm Hermione Granger." I said nervously. I was never easy around boys after what happened. I never know who to trust anymore.
"Granger? My family is friends with the Grangers! My best friend is here, his name is Adrian Granger. He's over there getting his robes fitted!" I looked in the direction of where he was pointing and saw a young boy that resembled me. Draco then added, "You know, he kind of looks like you."
I nodded in agreement, now staring at whoever this Adrian kid is. I looked at Draco and saw him looking over at the group of three adults coming over to him. A woman that looked very much like Draco spoke.
"Draco dear, did you make a new friend?"The lady spoke to him. Draco groaned. "MOTHER!" I tried my hardest not to giggle at this.
Adrian walked over to us and stood in front of Draco, barely acknowledging me. "C'mon mate, we best be off to get our wands." I looked at him in shock. He looked slightly familiar. I noticed him walk over to his parents and I got a good look at them. The mother looks like me also. They looked at Draco, then at me. We made slight eye contact for a mere second before they looked away. I finished up my conversation and waited until Ron and Harry had come over to retrieve me. Draco and I said our goodbyes and we left with our separate groups. Draco seemed very nice, and I thought he was very good looking. Not bad for a blonde. I also couldn't get the picture of Adrian's parents out of my mind. I know I've seen them before somewhere, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it.
The three of us met up with Hagrid and walked over to Ollivander's to retrieve our wands. I was bouncing with excitement. Ever since we were introduced to magic at Hogwarts I have wanted a wand of my own. I couldn't believe I was finally getting one!
As we entered the shop I heard his voice again. That must be Draco. I walked around looking at the store with Harry and Ron and when I turned the corner I met face to face with the blond, pale boy again.
"Sorry!" We both said at the same time. The both of us laughed. It was then that I realized that Adrian was standing behind him looking at Ron, Harry and I carefully.
"Are you Harry Potter?" Adrian said as he walked closer to Harry. Harry nodded in response. Adrian stood there shocked. He never thought he would ever see this boy in person. "You must have been very strong to survive a curse from the Dark Lord!"
"ADRIAN GRANGER!" I heard his mother yell and walk over. "Leave the boy alone. Besides, you wouldn't want to be seen talking with a half-blood, would you?" Adrian shook his head.
Ron rolled his eyes. "Come on Hermione, let's just get all of our wands and get out of here." I noticed Adrian's mother stop in her tracks and look between Ron and me.
"Did you just call her Hermione?" she asked Ron. Ron nodded his head. He must be thinking this lady is crazy. How could she not hear him? She's only a mere five feet away from us. She called her husband over. I looked over at Draco and Adrian with a confused look on my face. They just shrugged. The married couple whispered to each other something we couldn't hear, stealing glances over at me every once in a while.
The mother came over and squatted down next to me. "Are you Hermione Granger?" I nodded and looked at Harry and Ron a bit scared. I was never comfortable around adults I don't know anymore.
She took me hands and looked into my eyes. "Sweetheart, do I look familiar at all?"
I was confused. How does she know I thought that they looked familiar? Can she read minds? "Well I think you look like me a little bit and I think I have seen you before."
The lady looked up at her husband and nodded. She looked back to me with the biggest smile on her face and gave me a huge hug. I hugged her back completely and utterly confused. I had no idea about what was happening right now. The lady released me and looked me in the eyes. "Hermione, dear, I'm your mother. This is your father and this is your twin brother, Adrian."
I was shocked. Family? My family? How? I looked back at Harry and Ron and they looked just as shocked and confused as I was.
"What?" I finally managed to say. I was slowly losing my train of thought. I started to panic in my head. Thoughts like 'What if they're lying and they're going to bring me back to Lucius and Bella?' and 'Should I trust these people?' were swarming through my mind. What am I supposed to do?
The lady gave me some parchment with some of their information on it. I shoved it into my pocket promising myself to look at it later. I said goodbye and quickly walked towards Hagrid pulling Ron and Harry with me. Luckily, Hagrid got a hold of the store owner and we were able to get our wands as fast as possible and get out of there. I let myself get lost in my thoughts the entire way back to the castle, determined to figure out if they are my real relatives or not.
