Summary: Hermione finds out she is adopted and has to go live with her aunt and uncle. But she will never guess who her uncle and aunt are.

Hermione got up out of bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. When
she glanced into the mirror she screamed. Her parents came running into the
bathroom and gawked at her for a moment, before her father cleared his
throat.
"Um, Hermione, we need to tell you something," Her dad said, reluctantly.
"You think?" Hermione replied, as she walked down the stairs, after her mum
and dad.
The three Grangers sat in the living room. Hermione stared at her mum and dad
with questions in her eyes until her dad spoke up.
"Honey, we have something to tell you."
"And that is?" Hermione asked; refusing to believe what was running though her
mind.
Her mum looked at her, with tears in her eyes, and said the words Hermione was
afraid of.
"You're adopted, sweetie," Mrs. Granger said in an almost inaudible voice.
"I'm... adopted?" Hermione said, not believing the conversation she was
hearing.
"I'm so sorry, honey," Mr. Granger said, as he was torn whether to comfort his
wife or the girl he raised as his daughter.
"How come you never told me"? Hermione said the hurt evident in her voice.
"We weren't allowed until you were 16," Was the explanation from her
"mother".
"Is that why I looked different when I woke up? Because today is my 16th
birthday"?
"Yes, honey, that's why you look different".
"Do you know who my biological parents are"?
"Yes we do, but they died about a year after they gave you up for adoption. We
don't know that whole story, so you will have to ask your aunt and uncle when
they come and pick you up at around 3 today," Hermione's father said.
"Ok. Well I better go pack..." Hermione said, as her adoptive parents nodded
their heads silently.

Hermione went up to her room and grabbed all of her clothes, and threw them
into her trunk. She threw her hair supplies and make-up into another suitcase.
She shrunk all of her shoes and put them into a small bag. She grabbed all of
her school supplies and threw then into her last suitcase.
After she finished packing, she went into bathroom and took a shower. She got
out and stood in front of her mirror to look at the new her. She now had long
black hair that reached past her lower back; her brown eyes are now a black
color with a purple tint to them, her height changed dramatically, as now she
was 5'7 instead of 5'2. She now had all the right curves in all the right
places. After she was done looking at herself, she finished drying off and put
on her pink halter-top and jean mini skirt. She adjusted the shirt so that it
was a little bigger in the chest part and changed the skirt to about a size 2,
rather than her normal 5. She put on some pink eye shadow and pink lip-gloss.
She slipped into a pair of pink flip-flops and levitated her bags behind her
as she walked down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the
table with her adopted parents. They looked up at her, and her adopted mum
asked, "Are you hungry?"
Hermione nodded and her adopted mum got her a plate of pancakes. Hermione ate
her pancakes in silence, and then got up put the plate in the sink.
"I'm going to see Kay; I'll be back by 2," Hermione said, grabbing her purse
and walking out the door.
-HP-
Hermione walked over to her friend Kay's house. She knocked at the door and
Kay's brother, Zack, opened the door. He checked her out, and then asked, "Do
I know you?"
"Yes, actually you do," Hermione said, smirking.
"I don't remember meeting you, and I think I would remember meeting a pretty
girl like you," Zack said, flirtatiously. It was then Hermione remembered her
appearance was different.
She sighed. "It's me, Hermione, now let me talk to Kay before I kick your butt– skirt or no skirt." Zack's jaw dropped as he moved aside to let her into the house.
"You might want to close your mouth; you're starting to attract flies,"
Hermione called as she walked up the stairs, to Kay's room.
Hermione knocked on her door and heard a muffled response.
"Come in!"
Hermione walked into Kay's room nervously. "Who are you and why are you in my
house?" Kay demanded as she saw her visitor.
"It's me, Hermione, and I came to tell you something."
"You are NOT my best friend Hermione."
"Yes I am. I was adopted and this is what I really look like," Hermione
explained to her confused friend.
"Oh. I forgot that you're a witch and you can do magic and change what you
look like."
"My dead parents did it before I was put up for adoption, so no one would know
who really I am until I turned 16," Hermione further explained.
"I see." Kay responded, warily.
"I also have to go live with my aunt and uncle."
"Aw that sucks! We still can hang out though, right?"
"Of course! No one is taking my best friend away."
They sat there and talked about school and boys and girl stuff until Hermione
looked at the time, realizing it was already 2:30.
"I got to go; my aunt and uncle should be here in about 30 minutes."
She hugged Kay and walked back down stairs. She said bye to Zack and walked
out the door and down the street to her house.
-HP-
She walked into her house and saw that in the living room sat Severus Snape,
Professor Severus Snape and a woman who she didn't know.
"What are you doing here, Professor Snape?"
"Um, Hermione, I'm your uncle and this is my sister, Sarina, your aunt,"
Severus explained.
"You're my uncle," Hermione stated, more than asked in her shock.
"Yes, I am," He explained.
Hermione sat down in a chair and let the information sink in.
"Who were my parents?" Hermione asked, after about 5 minutes.
"Your mum and dad were Mike and Iikka Snape," Sarina explained.
"So I am a Snape."
"Yes you are," Sarina responded.
"What is my name?"
"Your name is Hermione Ann Snape," Severus replied gently.
"At least it didn't change, besides my middle name; a new name would make this
even harder."
"Your parent's asked the Granger's not to change your first name," Sarina told
her.
"I have one more question for now," Hermione said slowly.
"And what is that, Hermione?"
"How did my parents die?"
"Your grandparent's wanted your parent's to become death eaters, but they
didn't want to, so they ran. They knew they would end up getting killed so
they left you with the Grangers," Severus explained as Sarina began to sob
quietly, remembering her other brother and his beautiful wife.
"Where will I be staying the rest of the summer?"
"You will be staying at the Snape Manor, since it is rightfully yours."
"What?"
"I said... You heard what I said."
"Sorry I'm just shocked that's all."
"I've read about the Snape family and from what I read it's like, one of the
riches pureblood families and the Snape manor is like, huge."
"What you read is correct," Severus spoke up.
"So, you are saying that all the money and the manor is all mine?" Hermione
asked in shock.
"Yup."
"Oh my Gawd!"
"I'm glad you're happy."
"Hold on, I have another question to ask."
"Yes?"
"Am I richer then Draco Malfoy?"
"Yes, you are."
"Really? That's awesome!" Hermione squealed.
Severus and Sarina laughed when they heard this.
"Yes I am."
-HP-
Hermione hugged her adopted parents' goodbye and left with Severus and Sarina.
They got into the back of a black car. They sat in silence until Hermione
spoke up.
"Don't you two have some of the Snape money and Manors?"
"Yes we do, but ours are different that yours," Sarina answered.
"Oh, Okay."
-HP-
They stop outside of a four-story manor. They all get out and Hermione looked
around in awe.
"Are you sure I'm not dreaming?"
"You're not," Sarina said with a smile.
Hermione, Severus, and Sarina walked into the manor and asked Hermione to come
sit in the dining room because they have to ask her something. Hermione sat
down across from her aunt and uncle.
"Well Hermione, we want to know if you want to move to France for the first
half of your last year," Sarina asked.
Hermione thought about it for a few minutes before responding. "Sure. But, I
have to tell my friends," Her aunt and uncle smiled and Severus replied.
"We leave tomorrow. If you want one of your friends can come with you for the
first week or so."
Hermione smiled, "Okay, and thank you." The reunited family talked for a
little while getting to know each other, and then realizing the time, Hermione
ask her aunt to show her to her room.

-I hope it is easier to read this time around.
