Chapter the First: The Shock
Hermione, Potions Class:
Hermione Granger was in her NEWT potions class. There were only a few people in it: Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Neville Longbottom, and a few more Ravenclaws such as Luna Lovegood.
Professor Slughorn was the new Potions Master as Snape took over DADA.
He was right now lecturing on the basics of the Family Tree Potion. Today happened to be Double Potions, and so Prof. Slughorn felt the need to lecture first.
Hermione, of course, was listening eagerly.
"Now, the Family Tree Potion is the most accurate potion to determine your blood, and family. First, you put a drop of blood into a small vial of the potion. After swirling it around, you carefully tip it onto a piece of parchment. Can anyone tell me what happens to the paper and what information is revealed?" asked Professor Slughorn.
Hermione raised her hand. "Yes, Miss Granger," said Professor Slughorn. "Do enlighten us."
"When the drop of blood and potion touches the piece of parchment, it will immediately turn a certain color. No color means Muggle, Pink means Muggle-born, Red means half-blood, Violet means Squib, and finally the color blue means pureblood. The parchment will turn certain shades of the color and it'll determine how pure your blood is. The parchment itself will map out your family tree back three generations. Plus, your immediate family, that is to say, your parents, and your siblings, will be written next to your name. Your name is written in the corner, along with your immediate family, as well as your birthday. Finally, if there is one, the Family Emblem/Coat of Arms will be drawn precisely near your name," said Hermione.
"Very detailed explanation. Excellent. Kindly take five points for Gryffindor," replied Prof. Slughorn.
The Slytherins sneered, because Hermione was such a know-it-all.
Then, Professor Slughorn took the bottle of Family Tree Potion and put a drop of it into the vial. "Only a drop is necessary, why is that?" he asked.
Hermione raised his hand, and surprisingly also, Neville.
Slughorn pointed to Neville, "Because only a drop of the potion and blood is needed to make it work, so even if you pour the entire bottle out, it will be the same. It'll be a waste if an entire bottle was poured and used."
"Precisely. Take five points for Gryffindor," said Slughorn.
"I need one volunteer for this...let's see, Malfoy!" he called. Draco Malfoy smirked.
Slughorn took out his wand and pricked Malfoy's finger. A slightest droplet of blood dropped into the vial. Slughorn muttered a spell and Malfoy's finger healed.
Slughorn grabbed a piece of parchment and poured the vial's contents onto the smooth white sheet.
Immediately, the parchment turned into a shade of indigo. Words started forming. Slughorn read outloud, "Draco Lucius Malfoy, son of Lucius Malfoy, and Narcissa Malfoy nee Black. No siblings. And your birthday is June 1st, 1980?"
Draco nodded slightly. Slughorn held up the piece of parchment, and sure enough, the family tree was mapped out, as well as the Malfoy Emblem.
"Right, take your seat Mr. Malfoy, and take five points for Slytherin. Now, turn to page five of Advanced Potion Making and start to make this potion. At the end of the block, we'll test it out. Oh, and I'll assign pairs. Harry, Pansy. Neville, Draco. Ron, Luna. Blaise, Hermione."
They spent most of next period working on the potion. Hermione finally had hers finished twenty minutes into the lesson. Harry finished second.
Slughorn walked up to Harry and said, "Harry, my boy. You done?"
"Yes, Professor," said Harry. He took out a vial and corked a small bottle of it.
"Go ahead and test your potion," said Slughorn.
Harry did, and the parchment turned a nice shade of red. It read: "Harry James Potter, son of James Potter, and Lily Potter nee Evans. No siblings. Birthday: July 31st, 1980."
"Good job, Harry, my boy. Now, Miss Granger," said Slughorn and he turned to Hermione.
Hermione obediently did as she was told. After pouring the blood mixed with potion onto the piece of parchment, she expected it to turn a slight shade of pink and map out the Granger family tree and say, Hermione Jean Granger on it, since she knew her entire family tree well. However, she got a shock. Instead of lightening up to pink, the it was slowly turning indigo blue. Hermione had her mouth open as foreign names were written.
On it was written:
Serena Ariella Zabini
Parents: Anastasia Marie Zabini nee Lestrange and Derek Jonathan Zabini
Siblings: Twin Brother: Blaise Johnathan Zabini
Blood Status: Pure
Birthday: August 1st, 1980
A detailed map of the Lestrange and Zabini family tree was mapped out. Hermione couldn't believe that she was pureblood and the boy sitting next to her was her twin brother. She didn't even know Blaise Zabini had a sister.
She could hardly hear the words, "Miss Granger!" shouted over and over again in her ear.
Suddenly, she was pulled back to reality as she saw her partner had the same exact parchment, but with his name on it.
"Hermione," said Prof. Slughorn kindly. "Would you like to go to the Headmaster?"
Hermione nodded. She grabbed her parchment and slowly made her way to the Headmaster's office. Once she entered, there sat the Headmaster, and two black haired people.
"Hermione, I'd like you to meet Anastasia and Derek Zabini," said Professor Dumbledore. Hermione fainted.
