Chapter 1
In the darkness I wait for something unexpected to happen. I have waited for so long for someone to see me for who I truly am. I am with my best friend because I know he wants me. I do love him but not in the way he wants me to, but I know I could never give him up because he saw me when I was invisible.
I have changed a lot since we first met I am no longer that bushy haired bossy Teacher's pet, I have now figured out why the sorting hat told me first year why I would do great in Slytherin as did my best friend Harry Potter.
Harry was with me in Dumbledore's office after the war was over. McGonagal had decided to reopen the school for those still wanting to finish their education. We were called to now her office for what we thought was Heads business since Harry and I had been chosen as the new heads. But we were mistaken.
When we arrived at the Headmistresses office we were shown in to chairs that were situated in front of her desk and could also see Dumbledore's Portrait looking at us.
"The both of you have been called here not for heads business but of the business of your parents wills. You are of age now to fully receive what was left to you from your parents and any other parties who have included you in their wills.
Mr. Potter as you know you have received Number 12 Grimwauld Place as well as the Black fortune from sirus' will as well as the Gold in your Vault at Gringotts from your parents. You have also received the deed to the land and remains of your parent's house that has been kept intact at Godric's Hollow.
Now Miss Granger you have received the deed to the land and house from the Grangers as well as their fortune as well as your Grandmother's fortune and deeds to her properties. Now we have also received a letter from your parents that was meant only for your eyes you may read that now so that we may then continue."
I took the letter and opened it:
Our Dearest Hermionie,
If you are reading this we are gone. We knew that the war you were fighting would soon come to us so we revised our will. We have left you everything as well as what was left to me when your grandmother died. But we have also left behind us a secret.
We were to tell you when you came of age in the wizarding world but I'm afraid we haven't lived to that day. You my dear are the daughter of one of the oldest pureblooded lines of Wizards. Your parents were under great strain from the Dark lord he wanted them to join his ranks and they knew if he heard about you he would kill you to get to them your mothers pregnancy was kept quite and when she had you, you were given to us to look after until it was safe for you to return to them sadly they did not live to collect you after the Dark Lords downfall when you were one.
Even after their death when you got your letter to Hogwarts we were not able to tell you the truth because of a spell that was binding until you came of age or your parents came to collect you. We are sorry that now you have found out and that we have left you alone.
You do have a God Father though we do not know his name, but your parents told us that if anything did happen to them that you would be told everything by Dumbledor when you became of age. We love you dear and we always thought of you as our daughter.
With love,
The Grangers
I stared at the letter before I heard Dumbledor clear his throat. I looked up at him with shock written across my face
"When we received the information regarding your parents wills we were just as shocked but then we realized that you weren't the brightest witch of your age for nothing. It was in your blood that's why magic came so easily to you; all of you ancestors were powerful Wizards. Voldemort knew this which is why he wanted them on his side.
We found your family tree and Realized that there is also some Slytherin blood in your line because Slytherin had a very short and un publicized marriage to Rowena Ravenclaw, but it was enough to leave her with child and also the main reason Slytherin left the school. His love for her was frowned upon by his family. "
"But on to what you have received from your birth parents will the Gray family. You receive all deeds to land and houses of the Gray family and also since you are the sole air you receive all of their vast fortune. You are able to sell the land and houses if you wish but they did request that you keep and live in the Grey Family Mansion since it was the original family home and I'm sure holds many fascinating secrets as well as many books that are very rare."
" Since school is now in session you may be given permission to leave school on the weekends to visit your properties and decide what you want to keep from each house other than the Grey family mansion that you are requested to live in. there will be house elves at each house and they will transport whatever you want to keep and they also know of what is priceless and rare."
" If you would like, your God Father may accompany you to help you sort out your possessions. Now do you have any questions?"
I sat there trying to think about anything and everything but my mind was in such a blur. Until Harry pointed out an obvious Question,
"But sir who is her godfather?" "Ah yes you may come in now Severus."
Harry and I looked at each other until the door opened and in walked newly reinstated Professor Snape. He came over to me and he said,
"It's quite a shock I know I didn't know it was you until the Headmistress requested my presence here. Hermionie I apologize for everything I put you through but I couldn't have acted any other way."
"I understand and Professor I thought of another Question. What is my real name and do I have an appearance charm on me?"
"Yes my dear you do Severus if you would and also your real name is Klaire Trinity Gray."
Severus removed the appearance charm and I was then shown to a mirror. I now reached 5'7, had long strawberry blond hair with brown undertones and Hazel eyes and had also filled out my robes just a bit more. After that I just wanted to be alone so I asked,
"May I be excused?"
They said yes and I was given all the paperwork so that I could look over it and I retreated to my room for the rest of the day not even talking to Harry.
