Ch. 2

Hermione's Parent's house-

Hermione took the letter again and opened it. It was a long letter, almost two pages, in neat handwriting, that almost looked like her own. She felt another tear come down, before she started reading.

Dearest Harmony,

I can only imagine what it is you must be thinking right now. First let me start out by telling you that I really wanted to stay with you. I loved you more then anyone, including myself. For years, I was in league with Lord Voldemort, I was one of his main supporters. The night I found out about you, I fled from him. At the time, he had wanted a daughter, and I could not let him take you. I ran for months, until finally I had you. For the first two months, we ran from place to place, trying to find solitude. One night, in a small village, the Death Eaters attacked. I tried to run, but I was wounded badly. I ran as far as I could, and then saw a young couple. They seemed to be very concerned for us, and took us in. I told them that you and I were both special, and that you needed to be protected. I knew that I was dieing and I made them swear to me, that they would not tell you, until you were eighteen. I knew that by then the Dark Lord, would have fallen. I was a seer and I had seen you growing up and fighting alongside the Chosen One. You have grown to be a remarkable woman, and I am so very proud of you. I knew that it would not be safe for you to be a young Pureblood girl, for he wanted one so bad, that he could mold into the perfect wife. I fled for you, and I hope that you do not hate me for this. I know that you must be so very confused and hurt, but please Harmony, do not blame the good couple that you have learned are your parents. They do love you, and would never let anything horrible happen to you. This is why I asked them to give this to you a week before you turn eighteen. The day you turn eighteen, something is going to happen. You will feel sick, and like you can not live. Many will think that you are dieing, and it will cause an uproar. The reason for this change is that you are a mate of a Veela. Your mate, the Veela, is at this time, going through a hardship, his Veela blood taking over. You have to go to him, or he will die within a month. I have seen something in the future that may make you want to run from him, but I can assure you, he doesn't want to harm you. He will love you and protect you with his life. Your Veela mate is Draco Malfoy, now I know already, the cruelness that he showed you growing up. He believed you to be muggleborn and I am sorry for that. I know that you are probably thinking that is no reason to hate someone, but you can't be angered by this. These past years have been hard on everyone. If you do not go to him, then within the month, there is a chance that you will die also. His family will know by now that you are indeed alive at this point, and I have to warn you that I have left them clues as to who and where you are. I love you darling and I know that you are sure to be upset, but I want you to be happy. You will be happy with him, but if not, that is your choice. Please just remember, that I will always love you. I am sorry that you never got to know me, and please believe me, that I would never have done this if there was another way. I wanted to keep you safe and that was the only way that I knew how to keep you safe. I love you and wish we could have been together, I love you Harmony.

Love always,

Your mother, Adriana Levant

Hermione looked at the letter in complete shock. This was not what she had expected, then again she hadn't known what to expect. Her mind was trying to grasp what she had just read. Her mother had been in league with the man that Harry had killed. It pained her to know that she was related to someone that she had learned to hate, because of their ways. But didn't her mother redeem herself? She had fled, for Hermione's sake. She had not wanted her to live that kind of life, she had fled and gave her life for Hermione. As she scanned the letter again she saw Draco Malfoy's name shoot out at her.

There was no way that she was his mate! They had hated each other for so many years, and it was absurd. She looked back to the letter and read where her mother had seen these things take place. Hermione felt a mixture of feelings, knowing that someone had seen her whole life, before it had happened.

"Hermione?" Jean's voice came to her ears. She looked up, still in shock. "Are you okay honey?" She asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. Hermione looked sadly at the two people, she had always believed to be her parents. "I have to go." Hermione said sadly. Her adoptive parents got up quickly, as Hermione ran toward the door. "Please wait, where are you going?" Jean asked when Hermione opened the door.

"I am going to the Burrow, I have to explain things to my friends, so they understand." Hermione said looking back at them. When she seen their faces, she hugged them both, "I love you and you will always be my parents, I will come back to visit, I promise." She said before walking out into the night.

Ministry of Magic-

Lucius looked through the old documents, rubbing his eyes. He had been there for a long while now. He was almost deciding to go home when the name Levant jumped out at him. He leaned closer reading the parchment. According to the parchment, Adriana's body was given to the muggle police, by a young muggle couple. He saw the names and gasped. Surely this could not be the same parents of Hermione Granger? He saw the picture of the sad looking muggles, and knew that this had to be them. He had seen them once before, when Draco was only in his second year. They had looked a little older, but still the same, then. Lucius looked around the room he was in, there was no one there as he pushed the documents back to their original spots.

He put his wand in his pocket, and began to pace. If he was right, and he had a feeling that he was, then Draco's mate, was none other then Hermione Granger. He was slightly confused about this. He had known that his son had always been out to get her, but not for those reasons. They had never gotten along, and if this was right, then this may not be good for either of them.

A part of him was relieved because he knew it was her, but another part knew that this only made things more difficult. He remembered his son talking about this girl for years. It was never anything nice, but Lucius knew now that it was the Veela blood that made him talk about her. In some way, he had always had this girl on his mind.

The only question was, how could he convince this girl that everything that she knew was a lie. He had known Adriana long enough to know that she would have made it clear to the muggles, not to tell her that she was adopted. It would have been for her own safely, but he wondered now, if it only wasn't just to make things difficult.

He knew he was wrong in his assumptions, but as he went over to the floo, to go home, he couldn't help but feel angry about all of this. Somehow, Lucius had to bring two people that had grown up hating each other together. If they did not, then two innocent people would die, all because of the prejudices of blood that didn't even matter anymore. He took the floo powder and stepped into the fire, feeling more tired then he had in a very long while.
