"We have something to tell you too, that's why we came to find you." Harry told her.

"Well, go ahead what is it," Hermione questioned.

"Umbridge finally did something right. She canceled all the classes today, go up to your dorm and pack we are departing in an hour." Ron said.

Hermione knew she didn't have enough time to tell them and pack up all her things. She decided that she would simply tell them on the train, that would give her enough time to work out a game plan.

"Hermione, did you need to tell us something?" Harry asked.

"Yes, but it can wait I have to pack now. All tell you on the train," Hermione said as she rushed out of the library leaving her two friends behind.


Less than an hour later everyone was loaded onto the train. Hermione walked on and rushed her friends into a train car.

Hermione looked at Ron and Harry, "Have a seat I have something to tell you two."

They sat down and she sat across from them.

"I don't really know how to say this." Before Hermione told them she looked around casting silencing spells and locking charms on the cart.

"Hermione what is it," Harry asked.

Hermione took in a deep breath, "I was adopted 16 years ago."

"How long have you known this?" Ron asked

"I only found out yesterday."

"Hermione, you know this doesn't change…" Harry didn't get to finish before Hermione continued, she feared if she stopped talking she wouldn't ever finish.

"Wait there's more, I found out yesterday when my blood parents came to see me." Hermione gagged there reactions but they just seemed to be waiting for her to continue.

"Well, who are they then?" Ron asked

"My blood parents are wizards, wizards who were taken away due to the war."

Harry and Ron seemed confused thinking she first ment they were dead but she had said that they came to see her. Hermione watched as realization hit their faces.

"Your parents are death eaters?" Harry asked but she knew he already knew the answer.

Hermione gave a node but made a correction, "Not my parents, just the people I share blood with. I share no other connection with them."

"Hermione, you know you can tell us anything. Who are they?" Harry asked.

Hermione breathed in and breathed out the words, "Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange."

Harry and Ron just stared at her. After a few moments the silence was broken.

"You're kidding." Ron laughed out, "You got us good Hermione." He laughed again.

"You are kidding?" His laugh seemed to die when he saw her face, "Right?"

Hermione just looked at him then looked away, "I wish I was. They provided all the proof they are my blood but I want nothing to do with them."

"This changes nothing." Hermione didn't know if she was trying to convince herself or them.

Hermione looked down in shame, "I'm sorry." She choked out then made her way toward the door. She couldn't handle the way her friends were looking at her, they were probably disgusted.

"Hermione, wait." Harry grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a hug.

"No, I'm sorry. You have nothing to apologize for. We didn't ask for anything that has happened in our life. You didn't betray us Hermione you have been the one to stand by me all your life, knowing who your blood is isn't going to change that, I know that." Harry looked her in the eyes. Hermione finally broke down. She let the tears come down her face, she was so relieved that her best friends accepted her. She knew they meant the world to her but at that moment she felt what it was to love people and carry the weight that you were going to lose them, then knowing they loved you too much to lose you.

Hermione looked over at Ron with tears streaming down her face. She still didn't know how he was feeling. Knowing he was most of the time the one to overreact she was scared again.

Ron jumped up and wrapped his arms around her stealing her from Harry's embrace, "That was huge news. I needed a minute to take it all in. I can't even imagine how you have been holding up for a day with this weighting you down. Harrys right though, you had nothing to be scared of. You have had our backs for years we could never hate you."

Hermione let out tears of joy now, knowing her friends accepted her even with this news meant the world to her.

Well I guess we need to talk strategy now.

"What did you two do now." Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked up at the door where Ginny, Neville, and Luna strode.


"Please come in," Hermione rushed them in, "I have something to tell you all." She was feeling more confident now knowing harry and Ron didn't think this news changed her.

She repeated the news that she had just told Ron and Harry. Her friends seemed to reassure her even more and sympathize with her.

"Hermione, are you 100% sure they didn't lie to you, to get to Harry and the light side," Ginny questioned.

"That was my thought too, they showed me all the documents and memories. I ended up doing research and caught wind of a spell that revealed a crest on your shoulder for pure blood families."

Neville, Ginny, Luna, and Ron all nodded, knowing the spell she was speaking of.

"I didn't know the spell but got Draco to perform it proving I am a Lestrange in name only."

"So Draco knows," Luna stated.

"Yes, only you all, Umbridge and draco know. Oh and Dumbledore."

"And that is when Ron and Harry walked in this morning. I sort of freaked out when I got the proof I needed and Draco was trying to stop me from hurting myself. SO I would show you all the proof but I would rather not go thru that again."

"Now for more pressing matters, I need to get away from Draco and Narcissa." Hermione looked at them all knowing they would help her, "The Lestranges made it known to me that they wanted me to spend the vacation with them. Of course I'm not going to be doing that. I need a way to slip by Narcissa, who is supposed to be picking me up."

Everyone started strategizing. Coming up for way to get Hermione out before the Malfoys realized it.

"It's going to be harder, I'm guessing Malfoys going to be keeping an eye on all of us." Ginny stated.

Neville sat more in a corner, watching everyone quietly. Hermione knew she needed to speak to him and now seemed to be the right time.

"Nevile, can I speak to you." Hermione asked in a tentative voice.

Only Neville seemed to notice her question. He nodded and they walked out of the cart together and into the cramped aisle outside.

Hermione began to whisper, "I'm so sorry, I know what those people did to you family. You Probably hate me now…"

Neville cut her off with a hug, "Hermione there is nothing for you to apologize for. We have no responsibility for the actions of my parents or them."

Hermione and Neville stayed in the hall for what felt like hours, just hugging and keeping in tears.

"I know this is hard for you, I'm here to help," Neville spoke, "Anything you need I have your back."

"Thank you," she gave him one last hug as they entered the cart again.


The plan they had come up with was simple. Ron owled his mother telling her to place a brown blanket on top of a trally with a red suitcase on it. He had explained that it was a grave importance and they would all explain what was going on later. That brown blanket was a portkey that would take Hermione to the Grangers.

Everyone had tried to convince Hermione that she was going to burrow so the order could keep her safe and they could figure out what to do, but Hermione had finally won promising that she would spend one night with the Grabgers before moving to the burrow the next morning.

She promised she would cast every spell she knew and that she would be safe. No one wanted to agree but they soon did knowing Hermione needed to see her parents.

The rest of the plan was for everyone to act normal and Hermione to sneak away and hang onto the blanket then they would all meet at the burrow the next day and spend the rest of vacation planning their next move.


As the train pulled up to Kings Cross all the students started to spill out into the isles. Hermione hugged her friends saying words of love as they gave her words of encouragement. They began going into the aisles waiting for the train to stop and the doors to open.

Draco Malfoy came wandering up and spotted her coming closer, "There you are dearest cousin."

Hermione glared at him but her plan was to play nice.

"Now, don't put up a fight." Draco rolled his eyes, "You know, no matter what you do you will be going home with mother and I."

Hermione let out a little laugh, "Of course...Cousin." She said cousin mockingly.

Hermione got out of the train with the rest of the students. The plan was now a go. SHe scanned the area for the blanket and suitcase but with so many students it was hard to find.

The area started to clear out as everyone hugged their parents and left. Malfoy was next to her as Hermione pretended to have trouble finding her bag.

Ginny ran up to Hermione crying out, "Ohhhhh Hermione, I'm going to miss you so much."

As she lennded in for a hug she whispered in Hermione's ear, "Look to your left it's right there."

As Ginny walked away elbowing into Malfoy, Hermione looked over and saw it. She knew what to do next.

She "finally" found her suitcase and picked it up.

"Let me help you," malfoy tried to help her hold her cat cage and bag but she glared at him and pulled them away.

"I got them, thanks." She said with a hard voice.

"I try to be a gentleman one time and this is what I get," Malfoy rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Well if you won't let me help then I must insist on this." He intertwined their arms so he could lead her away.

Hermione could see Narissia, she was losing time.

"Oh my god, I almost forgot." Hermione timed it perfectly as she turned away from him and rushed back toward the other bag.

"Hermione, where are you going." Draco called out after her trying to catch her.

"I forgot my other bag, let me grab it."

"No, just point it out I got it." Draco told her.

Hermione knew this was her time, malfoy would insist on getting it. Instead she almost ran in a dead sprint, yelling out behind her, "No, it's fine. I got it."

Draco still seemed right behind her but it was too late. Hermione held onto all her bags and seems to casually pick up the blanket as if she was about to move it but instead she held on as tight as she could as the world swirled and the last thing she heard was Draco's cursing.

The plan had worked.
