Chapter 19

"How do you think Hermione is doing?" Ron asked pacing the common room, and Harry was starting to get nauseous from seeing Ron go back and forth, back and forth.

"Ron, sit." Ginny said rubbing the seat next to her, and Ron nodded. Sitting and then Ron began strumming his fingers over and over again. "For Merlin's sake, Chill out!"

"I can't, Gin. What if she is related to those horrible, horrible…." Ron began

"Hey now! Hermione would be my relative, too." Harry joked with him.

"Sorry, Harry. I just don't want to think of the Malfoy's as being her family."

"Well, then Draco wouldn't have a reason to call her a Mudblood anymore," Ginny joked.

"Your not helping any," Ron growled starting to get angry.

"Goodness, Ronald Arthur Weasley quit getting your panties out of a bunch." Ron stormed off up to the dormitories.

"I don't think you should of said that," Harry said, looking worried but put his arm around Ginny's waist.

"Why not? Ron's being a prude, and now…we're alone." Ginny said ginning evilly, and Harry had to admit she did have a point. Harry leaned in to kiss Ginny and pulled her closer to him. To bad they were interrupted by Hedwig tapping at the glass. Hedwig was holding a newspaper in her beak.

"What does she have, Harry?" Ginny asked Harry as he was on his was to the window to open it for Hedwig.

Harry took what was in Hedwig's mouth and read the beginning his mouth dropped, "The Daily Prophet Special Edition."

"Uh, oh. That can't be good."

Harry sat down preside Ginny and read what the article said:

The True Friend's Betrayal

By: Rita Skeeter

"Uh, oh. Harry are you sure you want to read this?" Harry nodded and kept on.

According to some found documents found the other day, the ministry has once again, screwed up. They had the wrong man rotting in Azkaban for years, on the search for the wrong man, and told the Dementor's that they could give the Dementor's Kiss to an innocent man.

If you haven't already guessed, yes I am talking about the one and only Sirius Black. Black has been charged of a crime that he never actually did, and Black never betrayed his best friends, James and Lily Potter, another friend of theirs did…Peter Pettigrew.

Unknown to all of the Wizarding World, while James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew became Animagus. Potter became a stag, Black a big black dog that looks a lot like a death omen, and Pettigrew became a rat. The day that Pettigrew supposedly died, he really didn't. Pettigrew never faced his death. Pettigrew actually, cut his finger off, what was supposedly all that was found after he supposedly died, and transformed into the nasty rat that he is.

Pettigrew was found two days ago by Ministry officials, and also Minister Fudge, who now feels really stupid. Sources tell us that Dumbledore tried to tell Fudge this two years ago and also last year. Of course, as much of a stubborn man this is Fudge ignored Dumbledore.

As for the supposed betrayer? Sirius Black isn't on the run anymore and his name has been cleared. Black's engagement to Arabella Evans, better known as Bella Evans, is still on and they will be getting married sometime this summer, we've been told by long friend Remus Lupin, a former Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher, at Hogwarts that is a now, a well respected Werewolf.

Since, Sirius Black and Bella Evans are Harry Potter's godparents, as we all remember Black was James' best friend and best man. Bella was Lily's twin sister and Maid-Of-Honor, Harry will be moving in with them. At the exact location, is not know, obviously for certain reasons, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. So from everyone here at the Daily Prophet we wish Black, Evans, Potter, and Lupin a very happy life.

"That was relatively nice for, Rita Skeeter, Don't you think?" Ginny asked Harry. But Harry could do was nod. Harry had been dreaming of this day for two years, and now he had finally got it. Harry would be living with his godfather and godmother. Before Harry could really ponder on this thought any longer Remus's owl came swooping in with a parcel, with no doubt from Sirius.

Dear Harry,

I'm guessing you've either read this or, your just now finding this out. MY NAME HAS BEEN CLEARED! This summer you won't be returning to the Dursley's. You'll live with Bella and me. You'll be coming to our home during Easter break, you're welcome to bring Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. Hope things are going good with the two of you. They found Peter, that slimy git! Bella's back from work, she looks thrilled, I'm guessing she found out! We're going to the Leaky Caldron to celebrate.

With love,

Sirius and Bella


Harry jumped up and began to swing Ginny around him, then paused, "Would you want to go with me to Bella and Sirius's house for the Easter Holidays?" Harry asked kind of scared of what her response would be.

Ginny giggled at the look on her boyfriend's face, "Of course, silly."

Ron walked back down obviously now clamed down, "What the hell?" Harry put Ginny down. Ginny ran up to Ron and shoved the newspaper in Ron's face. Ron's mouth dropped completely. When Ron finally found his voice, "But…"

Harry shut him up this time instead of Ginny, he handed Ron the note that he'd just gotten from Sirius.

"Harry, that's wonderful! Sirius's name is cleared, that scum bag Peter Pettigrew is finally going to Azkaban and getting what he deserves. Bella and Sirius are going to get married, you get to move in with your godparents, and we all get to go to your new house for Easter Holidays! Now if only we knew how Hermione was doing."

Back at St. Mungo's…

Hermione was sick and tired of sitting in suspense, she'd really like to know if this was her family or not.

"Well? Are you going to tell us are not?" Hermione said impatiently, and Hermione heard Draco mutter something that sounded a lot like 'girls.'

The doctor looked amazed at her attitude, so he began from the begging again, "The results to the D.N.A. test to tell weather or not Hermione Aimee Granger is really Adora Aimee Potter, Daughter of Larissa Ann Boyle-Crane and Anthony Paul Potter. At the end I will either say The results are positive or negative, so please don't presume anything. The results are that 99.9 that if Hermione Aimee Granger is Adora Aimee Potter is….." the doctor paused again.

"Will you get on with it!" Larissa and Hermione both yelled at the doctor. The doctor was amazed, he repeated again: "The results are that 99.9 that if Hermione Aimee Granger is Adora Aimee Potter is…positive." Hermione got chills all over her body. This was her family. Her real family, her birth mother, sister and nephew.

Just then Lucius Malfoy walked in the hospital room, blinked twice too see if what he was seeing was right. Lucius began to speak, "What the hell is this nasty little Mudblood, doing here. In front of us clean purebloods."

"DON'T YOU EVER CALL MY AUNT THAT AGAIN!" Draco screamed at his father.

Lucius was taken aback, "Excuse me? Narcissa explain this."

"Well, as you know Hermione's parents were killed, and she found out she was actually a pureblood. Hermione did some snooping,"

"As did I, father." Draco butted in.

"As did Draco," Narcissa interrupted. "It seems that she is my….sister. Draco's aunt and your sister-in-law."

"Over our marriage she is. There is no way she is Larissa and Anthony's child, Pettigrew was to make sure she was killed."

"He didn't do such a good job, did he…brother.?" Hermione spat at him.

"Nice to see you to Adora."

"Narcissa over our marriage she's your sister," Lucius Malfoy repeated again.

Narcissa walked over to him seductively, "Cissa…not in front of your family." Lucius whispered to his wife, but Narcissa then spoke in a whisper that everyone could hear. "Love, you say that she's my sister over our marriage, right?" Lucius nodded, "Well," Narcissa pulled her husband closer to her. "That can be arranged," With that Narcissa handed him a packet. Lucius opened, and looked at Narcissa. "What the hell is this shit, Cissa?" Narcissa looked at her husband, "You can't except me to leave my mother, what would have been my step-father, or my sister. I never really loved you anyhow. I've always loved and always will love Remus Lupin. Happy Divorce." Narcissa grabbed Draco and Hermione's hands, "We will, see you later mother." Before they left Hermione ran over to her mother and threw her arms around her.

"I love you, Adora," Larissa whispered.

"I love you, too…mum," Hermione said all chocked up.

They went back outside to the port-key grabbed a hold of it. Within seconds they were back to the castle.

"Good-night Children," Narcissa said. Narcissa kissed Draco on his cheek, and then threw Hermione into a hug. "I'm welcoming you into the family, again…sis."

Hermione grinned, although she never expected to be in this family, she was happy. They were the best she had.
