Severus and Bellatrix were married with a son and about to turn away from the Death Eaters. Voldemort devised a plan to make sure that didn't happen and almost ten years later a secret is revealed about who Harry Potter really is. AU Warning. OOC. Summer before Hogwarts.

Hermione is sorted into Slytherin and is taunted by her housemates, particularly Draco Malfoy, who succeeds in alienating the little witch from not just Slytherin House but the entirety of Hogwarts. But what will happen when Hermione finds out just who her real Father is...and how will she prove her worth?
