Chapter 2

ADOPTED?

Hermione had been there the whole time, frozen. She just couldn't believe it. But just second, the Malfoys wouldn't want their son marrying a muggle born. They were so called pure bloods. This was wired. Really weird.

"Okay mum, the Malfoys wouldn't want Draco marrying me. We are muggles and they are pure bloods, that's according to them. But the point is they wouldn't want me to marry him." asked Hermione puzzled but still angry about her and Draco.

'Okay Hermione, this is hard to tell. I'll try… O.K you are adopted" answered Mrs Granger quietly and slowly.

"ADOPTED" screamed Hermione

"Yes, your parents were wizards and they were pure bloods' said Mrs Granger

'Wizards" muttered Hermione to herself. This was really weird.

"Yes and they died, in fact murdered by a powerful wizard just before you were born" said Mrs Granger twitching here and there. Hermione knew instantly who it was. Who else could it be but Voldermort?

"Okay, carry on" said Hermione breathing hard and trying to clam down.

"They were on holiday and we were to baby-sit you and then suddenly we heard that your parents were dead. We didn't want to send you to the orphanage so we kept as we knew your parents wouldn't like it. We adopted you" Mrs Granger said this quickly.

"Okay, so they died. I am adopted and so how come I am to be married to Draco" asked Hermione

"Okay" said Mrs Granger taking a deep breath "But before your parents died one of their best friends was Lucius Malfoy. So after you and Draco were born, your parents and Mr. Malfoy had decided that after you and Draco finished schooling you'll would get married. We were also your parent's best friends, well at least I was. I am a witch, your mother was one of my class-mates but my husband isn't. So that's why I came to the muggle world and started my career as a dentist. We had decided that we'd do what your parents wanted you to do and be. So that's why you were sent to Hogwarts and you are to marry to Draco" finished Mrs Granger. She was so glad that she had finished.

But Hermione on the other hand was angry and hurt. Her parents had lied to her and her so called step mother and step father had only told her now.

"Does anybody at school know this?" asked Hermione with tears shinning in her eyes.

"No one, but Dumbledore" replied Mrs Granger slowly.

Hermione got up at once and ran out of the kitchen., not even glancing at Mrs. Granger. She ran up the stairs to her room. When she reached her room she ran inside, and banged the shut. She didn't want to see the outside world, well not until school started. SHE HATED EVERY ONE.
