"I can tell you're a little shocked seeing who your birth parents are."
SHOCKED? SHOCKED? I'll give you freakin' shocked! I can't believe it,
"Umm, just a little" I managed to chock out, they all just stared at me, eyes mixed with concern, amusement obviously at my reaction, and nervousness.
" So….." I didn't know what to start with my brain feels like its going to explode.
"The thing is, I knew where my dear old friend John was, even though I hadn't seen him in years we still kept in touch, I knew about the problems him and Susie were having with having a child and I knew where he lived, the thing is was Hermione, we never ever for one second wanted to give you up, but with Voldermort coming back into power there was nothing else we can do, yes we were all spies for Dumbledore and in a way we all knew we were going to be safe but we couldn't say the same for you, Voldermort was convinced that he needed as many pure-blooded children as possible to join the death eaters and help rule over all things that are 'worthless' in his eyes, but he also had his suspicions, yes he wanted the children, mainly boys, but the girls would've been easier to use in seducing the men, but his suspicion was with twins, if he found out that one of the death eaters were having twins he'd insist on getting rid of the child, maybe when its born, killing it himself, he didn't want twins just in case there was a chance they would get more powerful then him, we don't know why he had this suspicion but he did, the dark lord didn't know that we were having twins however, he only knew we was having one, a boy, so when we had our little boy I was ordered to take him immediately to the dark lord, but when you was born we asked the nurse to take care of you but tell no one about you, that night I asked the nurse if I was able to take you home, luckily you was healthy enough so I was able to owl John to ask him if he was able to care for you at the time where I could not, of course he agreed as you can see, we are still in dept with John and Susie now, for looking after our little girl, see we promised we would keep you in the dark and not even mention it to your brother until Voldermort was killed."
Wait what? I have a twin brother, okay this is getting weird, I was about to say something but it ended up he hadn't finished yet so I kept my mouth closed.
"You see 'Mione we didn't want to keep you in the dark but there was another reason we chose John as well as him wanting a child, you see we couldn't leave you with our other friends as they were in the wizarding world where it wasn't safe for you, especially seeing our other friends were related to us, you see Sirius is our cousin, which I can tell from the expression on your face is no surprise to you, I know it seems we don't get on well but really we do, the main person Sirius doesn't get on with is Bella, but that's understandable as she killed his best friend and wife, and our cousin, you see darling James was mine and Sirius's cousin, I can tell this is a bit of a shock for you, it seems like you and Harry were never informed of this correct?" all I could do was weakly nod, so he carried on.
"You see you and My Potter are actually cousins, I know for a fact he might not be impressed with this when he finds out who your true parents are but I hope he has gotten over the whole act we had to play to protect everyone and not go against you, but yes that was indeed the reason you couldn't stay with them, you see we all kind of knew James and Lily were going to be targeted by the dark lord as he knew James and Lily were indeed the brightest couple of their time, so they would've been amazing on his side but we all knew they would refuse, it was obvious they wasn't going to be spies either considering their son Harry, which is understandable, we also wasn't able to ask Sirius as he had enough on his plate with the Order and also as you know Sirius is a big kid, and we couldn't ask our other friends either as they were spies with us. So we ended up leaving you in the care with the Grangers, where I think is actually the best place we could've kept you."
With that he finished his speech and looked at me along with the other adults in the room, I felt like I was going to pass out again but I wasn't going to let that happen , God, snap out of it Hermione you're meant to be the smartest witch of your age, the princess of Gryffindor, part of the golden trio and one of the girls that was able to get through anything, so why do I feel so scared now? Oh yeah, because now it doesn't include saving my best friends from evil, now it is the fact I just found out my parents aren't actually my parents, the people sat in front of me now are my parents , who have been best friends with my adoptive parents since before they went to school, also my adoptive mum is a half blood while my adoptive dad is a squib and also my real parents are pure-bloods who were spies for the good side, had to give me up because of Voldermort and my safety and I also have a twin brother,
oh and how can i forget that my bestfriend Harry James Potter is my cousin?
Why else would I want to pass out?
