When Minerva and Hermione finally left the library, Hermione appeared completely different. Her cheek bones thinned and her hair turned a pale blond. With her once honey brown eyes that held golden flecks changed, the honey now a light steel blue and the gold flecks silver. Even her very skin paled out, her tan faded and the freckles no longer showed. Hermione's figure changed, revealing a smaller, more delicate frame. The only thing unchanging were the many scars covering her body, including the ones Bellatrix had caused. The letters that spelled 'Mudblood' were still yet to fade and now showed up more.

After thanking Minerva once again Hermione walked to the bedroom she shared with Ginny. Once inside Hermione took once look in the mirror and forced back the tears. Seeing just how different she really was without the glamors made everything just that much more realistic.

With her mind made up Hermione gathered the assortment of letters from her mother. Tucking them in her expanding weightless bag and doing up the zip. Hermione made her way down stairs, her bag over her shoulder and her wand tucked in her pocket.

The dinning room fell silent when Hermione entered. She found that all wands in the room were drawn on her. Molly stood her firm voice filled the silence. "Who are you? How did you get in here?"

"It's me, Hermione..." She answered back.

Minerva entered the room from the kitchen with a fresh pot of tea in hand. "Oh for heavens sake, put down your wands. I assure you, Miss Granger is who she says she is."

"Professor McGonagall removed all the glamors." Hermione simply stated as if having glamors removed was an everyday thing for her. With a brisk walk through the dinning room to the front door before anyone could react. Leaving the house she closed the door letting it lock with a click. Looking around the street she deemed it safe and with a turn and swish of her wand Hermione apparated to the front gate of Malfoy Manor.

Hermione unlatched the gate and walked up the front path. A moment of hesitation before giving the door a swift loud knock. She felt her heart pounding, feeling like it was going to jump right out of her chest. The seconds feeling like minutes as she waited for someone to open the door. Hermione reached out to give the door another knock just as it opened, making her jump.

Standing in the doorway was a tall young man with the same pale skin, blond hair and steel blue, silver flecked eyes as her. Draco looked to Hermione and his jaw dropped. For before him was one of the most beautiful girls he'd ever laid eyes upon. "Can I help you?" He asked taking her hand and laying a small kiss upon the top. Hermione tried hard not to yank her hand back from him, before he let it go.

"Draco... Is your mother home?" She asked trying to say his name without clenching her teeth.

"She's in the parlor..." Draco looked puzzled, she knew his name and was wearing a Gryffindor top. Could she know him? Did he know her? "Do I know you?" He used before he could stop himself.

Hermione stood a moment, not sure what she should say. Had their mother told him? "My name is Lyra, and you do know me. But we haven't seen each other in quiet some time. Could you please escort me to the parlor?" She didn't want him to but alas, she didn't know the way.

Draco held the door open for her as she entered, before closing it behind her and leading her out of the entrance hall and down a hallway. Hermione followed closely behind not wanting to get lost. When the came to the door to the parlor Draco held his hand up before opening the door and entering.

"Mother, I have a Miss Lyra to see you." Draco stated, Narcrissa looked up from her tea cup and a flash of hope brushed over her features before it was quickly replaced with indifference.

"Well see her in Draco, don't keep the young girl waiting." Narcrissa responded.

Draco left the room and indicated that Hermione could now enter. As Hermione stepped into the parlor Narcrissa gasped and her tea cup dropped from her hand and to the floor. The dainty china shattering.

"Hello Mrs Malfoy, I didn't mean to upset you by turning up unannounced but I have to know who I am." Hermione said trying to keep her voice from shaking like her nerves.
