"Hermione wake up!" she softly heard in her ear. Yet instead of opening her brown eyes she snuggled back into her blankets. "Mione, you have an owl from the Ministry.'' Her mum walked over to her window to let the poor owl in. "Please wake up Hermione. We have to go to the adoption agency today at one."
This woke Hermione up very quickly. "Why?" she wondered as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Because your seventeen and you get to meet your biological parents and family today. Remember? The stipulation was that we would raise you as our own until you reach seventeen and then you would go live with your family until school or marriage." Mum said as she took the letter from the Ministry and handed it to Hermione. "What's it say, love?"
She pulls out the letter. "It says that the time changed from one to eleven thirty for our appointment."
"But it's eleven now, dear. Are you sure?"
"Yea." She folded up the letter and placed it in her purse. "Well, we'll just pack everything afterwards then. Let's go mum."

"Thank you for coming here today ladies." the graying older man said as they all stepped into his office. The surprise at who was there shocked Hermione into being frozen stiff.
"Bellatrix Lestrange is my biological mother?!?!?!?"
