Annd, on to the story:

"You are a Nott?!" Ron's eyes bulged out as his mouth opened and closed like a fish.

"Are you sure? I mean, what if Dumbledore made a mistake…" Harry ran his hand through his hair – something he did often when he tried to calm down.

"Yes. We are certain. We retrieved my birth certificate from Gringotts and even did some blood work. To be fair, now that I am actually aware, I do sort of look like Lady Nott." Hermione eyed her two friends, trying to choose her words carefully. It was sixth year and she no longer had the bushy, untamable hair. Her figure filled out nicely and slimmed at all the necessary parts.

"So you're a - " Harry and Ron both started before Hermione cut in.

"Pureblood, yep."

"You've got sooo much explaining to do!" Harry exclaimed as the trio walked back to the Gryffindor tower.

"So basically, my parents sent me off as an infant for protection. You know how Voldemort is with girls… pretty much marry them off to other death eaters to make more monster babies. We really don't get a say in our future and my mother didn't want that for me. I really do appreciate that they didn't make me a death eater the moment I arrived on this planet. Although… with the eminent war, I'm not quite sure what they'll want me to do…" Hermione searched Harry's, Ron's, and Ginny's faces and braced for the worst possible reaction. Of course, Ron's outburst was expected.

"YOU ARE RELATED TO A SNAKE! THIS CANNOT BE TRUE. YOUR FAMILY IS A BUNCH OF DEATH EATERS AND I CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!"

"Ron! Come on, how long have we known Hermione? Regardless of who she is related to, she will not turn evil!"

"Thank you for understanding Ginny… I know this is all a lot to take it…" Hermione could always count on Ginny for support. They practically told each other everything and were inseparable.

"BUT- "

"Look, Ron, I think you need to calm down. Sure, her parents may be death eaters, but that doesn't change who Hermione is. I think we should be happy that Hermione finally knows her real parents." Harry placed his hand on Ron's shoulder, attempting to restrain his friend.

"Thanks for understanding guys. I think I'll head off to bed, it's late and we've got classes tomorrow."

With that, Hermione and Ginny headed up to the girls dormitory. Hermione let out a long sigh, knowing that her life would forever change. No longer was she a mudblood – no, she was a pureblood, and from a very powerful family at that.

As usual, the dining hall was brimming with chatter and food in the morning. News of Hermione Granger actually being Hermione Nott spread like wildfire as everyone at the Gryffindor table began to ask endless questions.

"Yes… um no, I do not feel much different… well, I don't know Theo that well yet… um.. I'm sorry, what?" Hermione attempted to answer as many questions as possible before finally giving up and excusing herself. Theo watched her exit before following after.

"Hey Hermione!" He smirked. "How do you like being royalty?"

She turned around to face what is now her brother.

"It's only been a day, besides, I'd like to be treated the same." She rolled her eyes.

"You know that that won't happen right? Anyways, there's a Hogsmeade trip this Saturday and I was wondering if you'd want to join me?"

"Why would I want-"

"Because you are my sister. I thought it'd only be fair to get to actually know each other, you know, besides from what we've learned by throwing insults. It'd also be a nice way to… erm… meet my friends, you know."

"I really don't think your friends, especially Pansy and that ferret, would want to be cordial with me."

"Oh puhlease, their hatred only comes from you being a mudblood – but you aren't anymore."

"Oh alright, I suppose we could spend some quality sibling time while we're at it."

"Great, meet me at the entrance door at 10." Theo smirked and sauntered off.

Sigh. Just great. Hermione thought. A whole day with ferret and his bratty entourage. How fun.

Hermione flopped onto the common room couch as Harry and Ron were in the middle of an intense chess game. It had been a long day. Blaise couldn't stop smirking at her and it seemed that everywhere she went, people were whispering about her supposed lineage.

"And Checkmate!" Ron exclaimed.

"Aw man, not again! Seriously this is my like tenth time losing!"

Ron grinned. Harry may have many skills but chess was not one of them.

"Hey, so Saturday is the Hogsmeade trip, Hermione, you wanna join us?"

"Sorry Harry, I can't. I already promised that- "

"Ooo, is it a date?" Ginny squealed as she walked into the room.

"Au contraire, I promised to go with Theo, you know, get to know each other since we are siblings and all that. He's bringing his mates unfortunately."

"A whole day with the snakes? Man, I feel terrible for you."

"Now, now, Ron. You can't deny that those guys are quite hot. Right, Hermione?" Ginny giggled as she elbowed her friend. Hermione's face flushed as she thought over the statement. True, the boys did change a lot – for the better. Nearly everyone of them were lookers and practically the whole school fawned over them.

"They are not, especially with that type of attitude following them. Now if you excuse me, I am going to take a bath." Hermione huffed and quickly left the room.
