***He guys...I am sorry again for the delay... I hope you enjoy!
Hermione was sitting at the common room with her two best friends. It was now mid November and everything was still okay. But Hermione was dying inside her. She had kept that secret of Severus being her father for far too long. She couldn't do it anymore. It hurt her every minute knowing that her best friends might hate her in seconds. But she knew that she had to tell them. She looked at Ron and Harry who were playing a game of wizard chess. She took a deep breath ''Guys we need to talk'' she said and when they looked at her she looked down
Harry stood from his sheet and went and kneeled in front of Hermione. ''Mione, what's wrong?'' He asked her and took her chin and made her look at him
''I –I need to tell- ''
''WON-WON'' Lavender yelled and stopped Hermione from speaking. The three friends looked at Lavender walking downstairs. Hermione looked down and Harry saw her. For days and from the first time he saw her this summer at the Burrow, he knew that something was wrong with Hermione. He knew his best friend well. He knew that something was wrong with her. It was a good chance for her to speak to him and Ron but Lavender destroyed it. He hated her for that. He had to talk with Hermione and today. He was pulled out of his thoughts when Ron spoke ''Yes Lav?''
''Come on Won-Won I want to show you something'' Lavender said and pulled Ron out of his seat and without a word the two left.
However Harry looked at Hermione ''Let's go to the Astronomy Tower. We can talk better there'' He said to her and took her hand
Hermione looked at him and nodded. When they arrived at the Astronomy Tower Hermione took again a deep breath. It was the time she would tell Harry. It was now or never. She believed that he would never accept her back after this conversation but she had to tell him the truth. She took a deep breath ''Harry I am adopted as you very well know.'' She told him and he nodded. He remember their conversation few years ago when she had told him and Ron that she had learned that she was adopted but she didn't know who her parents were. He looked at her waiting for her to continue. Hermione looked at him and saw at his eyes that he had understood that she wanted to tell him that she knew who her parents were.
Harry took her hands ''Please Hermione go on'' he said and Hermione took some strength from his words.
''Harry, I know who my parents are. I will ask from you to not interrupt me while I am talking. Can you do this for me?'' Hermione asked and looked at him. With a nod from Harry she continued. ''This summer around August, I learned who my real parents are. I am a half blood witch. My mother was a pureblood and my father is a half blood. My mother's name is Emily Urquart. She is the daughter of Minerva McGonagall and that means that McGonagall is my grandmother. However she was killed few months after my birth and after the downfall of Voldemort. My father now –'' She looked down and stopped. Hot tears formed to her eyes. She was taking deep breaths and Harry touched her cheek.
''Calm down. Take your time. I am here. I am not going anywhere Mione.'' Harry said and Hermione hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her and rocked her.
After few minutes they pulled apart and Hermione calmed down. She wiped her tears. She looked at Harry. ''I am sorry for my break down. I didn't mean to'' she said apologetically
''Hermione it's okay. Now you are okay and you can continue'' Harry told her and smiled at her sweetly.
''Thank you! Well I told you about my mother so it's time to tell you about my father as well. My father is a half blood wizard. He is alive but he is a death eater but a spy for the Order and Dumbledore. My father – My father is Severus Snape'' She finished and released a breath she didn't know she had. She felt relief. She knew that she would probably lose her friend now but she felt relief wash all over her. She knew that she didn't need to be in pain again because now her best friend knew everything. She looked at Harry. He hadn't said a thing. He wasn't yelling either. He was just looking at her. The silence which followed was one of the biggest in Hermione's opinion.
Finally Harry spoke ''Wow, that's not what I was waiting for. You are the daughter of the greasy git. Who would think of it? However it doesn't matter what I think. It matter what you think. How are you Hermione? How are you feeling about all this? Are you okay? Does he treat you right?'' He asked with worry. His eyes however, were full of love and understanding. Not hate as Hermione was thinking. Hermione hugged him once again and started to say thank you again and again.
Harry made her look at him ''Why in the world are you thanking me?'' He asked her when he put his palms to her cheeks
''For understanding and because you don't hate me Harry'' Hermione said and looked at him again.
''Hermione, I could never hate you. Your father can be Snape and your last name can be Snape but you are the same person for me. I love you Hermione. You are the sister I never had. You are an amazing person and so beautiful.'' Harry told her and kissed her temple.
''Harry thank you so much! It really means a lot to me. I love you too. You are the brother I never had'' Hermione said and they hugged again ''Harry I will ask a favor from you. I don't want anyone to know anything about this Harry. Please, I beg you'' Hermione said and Harry smiled.
''Hermione it's okay. I am not going to say anything to anyone.'' Harry said and hugged her again tight. ''Now it's time for you to answer my earlier questions'' he said to her and the two smiled.
''When I first learned about it I was scared. I thought that he hated me. When he came to talk to me about this, he was so good, so understanding. He was acting like a real father. He was in a way sweet. I feel fine now. I have learned to love him. I accepted him as a father. He is very good with me, Amazing I could say!'' Hermione said and stopped to look at Harry. He was smiling and she knew that he had caught the word 'sweet' she had used.
''Sweet? Severus Snape sweet? What has happened to the world?'' Harry said and rolled his eyes. Hermione started to laugh and Harry joined her.
When they calmed down Hermione spoke ''It's time for us to go back to the Common Room''
Harry nodded and said ''I agree, I don;t want to lose points from your daddy.'' Harry said and a teasing way and Hermione laughed again. The two walked quickly towards the Gryffindor Tower. Hermione said the password but before she could walk inside Harry grabbed her hand. ''Hermione, I promise that I am nt angry with you or anything. I don't want to lose you because your father is Snape. I just wanted you to know that.'' Harry whispered to her to be sure that no one heard him.
Harry gave him a kiss to his cheek ''Thank you so much Harry!'' she said and the two walked inside the common room.
