Enjoy :D

Chapter 2

Harry POV

" So sir, you want me to get close to Professor Slughorn?" I asked.

"That's right Harry, it is very important that you find out just what he told Tom Riddle." Dumbledore explained seriously.

"But Dumbledore how am I-" I was interrupted by a quiet knock on the door, after a quick "Come in" from the headmaster the old door opened to reveal the new girl Hermione.

"Oh hi Harry, sorry if I interrupted anything." Hermione had sat next to Ron and I during the amazing feast at dinner, so we were already quite acquainted.

"No, no its fine my dear. Harry was just on his way out." The elderly man gave me a small 'remember-what-I-told-you' smile and then signalled me out of the room with his eyes. I turned to the petite girl who was standing by the door, she was wearing an oblivious smile.

"Um..yeah I'll be taking my leave then Sir." I mumbled quickly, then walked out of the office.

Hermione POV

After Harry left I unconsciously relaxed and walked towards the empty seat in front of Dumbledore's desk.

"So why did you call me here?"

"Why do you think I called you here?"

"Er…to let me leave this school and go back to how I was living before…?" I suggested hopefully.

"Hermione, we didn't have enough time to talk yesterday, because of your house sorting…" Well Hermione it's time to start the lies. "So I wanted to ask you about how you have been over the past years, while you were…missing"

"Well first uncle Dumbledore I wasn't missing but in hiding"

"Okay, Hermione but you have been 'in hiding' for 7 years, how did you manage to stay hidden?"

"Well it wasn't easy, but every 2 months I would change country and I would change my appearance weekly. Sometimes with polyjuice potions and other times with just wigs and colour contacts. But it was pretty fun and an exciting experience." Lies.

"Hermione you say you were in hiding, who were you hiding from?"

"I..I'm not quite sure." Death eaters.

"Then why were you so afraid of being found?" They killed my parents.

"Would you let yourself be found if you don't know who was your pursuer? It could have been some really creepy dudes, but they mustn't have been to powerful. Since I stayed unfound for 7 years."

"That's a fair point, my dear. What bothers me is what could you have that they wanted?"

"You mean apart from my hot bod, I mean uncle look at me. Who wouldn't want me? Haha!" Fake laughter, fake smiles.

"Hermione, I do not find this amusing now be serious."

"Fine..but I'm not exactly sure what they wanted though I have a feeling that it has something to do with why my adopted parents died." They wanted the books.

"You mean your parents. Hermione my dear, they loved you so much and raised you as their own." I know, but I need to find my real parents.

"Sir, I think that's enough for today. I'm really tired and its already passed curfew for sixth years."

"Alright, goodnight Hermione."

"Goodnight Uncle," Sorry, but I can't tell you the truth yet…

So here you go chapter 2...I'm really not pleased about this chapter to be honest, but I couldn't think of another way to write it...I was planning on including more information about how Hermione survived (I basically have like this massive backround for her) but then I don't want Dumbledore to know everything so early on in the story, even though he has his suspicions... anyway please review to help encourage me :)
