Hermione POV
I woke up on July the 6th feeling happy and well-rested. As I stood up I stumbled and thought to myself: "Odd, feels like I have a new body or something" I snorted, yeah right. I ran down the stairs (carefully), grabbed a book on the way and sat down.
On the table were pancakes, croissants and many others. I was confused. My mum only made this when she had something to tell me- "Muuuuuuum!" I shouted.
"Yes H-Honey" She stuttered and I swear I saw her eyes widen in surprise for a moment, and her shoulders sag in- sadness?
"Mum what's going on?"
"Robert!" She called
My dad rushed out of the kitchen, saw me and had the same reaction as my mum. He sat down and sighed.
"Honey. About 17 and a half years ago your mum and I gave up on children. We decided to go to an orphanage and adopt a child. We told only our closest friends. We stood up early on a gloomy saturday morning to go to the orphanage when I nearly stepped on a child on our doorstep. A child with a letter. Our dear friends had left their child on our doorstep. There was a letter. It said that they had decided it was too dangerous for their daughter with them. The were a witch and wizard and girls were abused and used. They left you to us, and said to give you a letter on your REAL 18th birthday."
My dad handed me an envelope made in heavy parchment. With trembling hands I opened the letter. It read:
Dear Aurora,
By the time you are reading this, you will be eighteen…. Eighteen years we lived without you. We gave you to the Grangers for safety. In the pureblood world it was not safe as a girl with You-Know-Who around. I am happy to tell you we were never his followers. Because he caused us such pain by not being able to have you with us. On July the sixth, minutes before you were born we had another child. Your brother. Then you, Aurora Narcissa Zabini.
With that said we invite you to our manor for the summer. Your parents know as we had a letter for them as well.
Love,
Zachary and Luciana Zabini
"ZABINI!"
"Yes dear. They are you biological parents."
"So my brother… Is Blaise Zabini."
Just tun the floo activated and two people came out. The woman had beautiful, straight ebony Black hair and wonderful blue eyes. The man was dark skinned and had similar black hair and had soft brown eyes.
"Hello Aurora." The man said calmly.
"Erm, hello."
"Well, shall we say goodbye?"
"Could I have a moment alone please?"
"Of course honey."
I ran up the stairs to my room. This. This was so wierd. I mean, Malfoy always caller mr mudblood but I'm a pureblood! I jumped as my door opened and my mum said softly:
"They want you to go with them."
"What do you think?"
"They were good friends of ours before they dissapeard and you're their child," I could see the tears welling up in her eyes, "I think you should give them a chance."
I nodded and hugged my mum tightly. She took my hand and led me downstairs.
I kissed the Grangers on the cheek and gave them both bear hugs.
"I love you both."
Then I turned around and stepped into the floo, saying clearly:
"Zabini Manor!"
