PART II
"We should tell her," he told his wife. They were sitting on their couch in the living room. His wife looked out the window, not appearing to take in a word he said. They'd played this game for quite a while now, nearly 18 years. He would say they should tell Hermione the truth and she would ignore him. But today was different.
"Once she graduates," she said, still looking out the window. He looked at his wife, startled.
"Do you mean it?" he asked seriously. All these years of lying had gotten to him. He hadn't been raised that way…and he loved his daughter so much he couldn't bare keeping something so important from her.
"I do," his wife replied. But then in a tone he could hardly hear, "If we're still alive then."
"What do you mean?" he asked, suddenly fearful.
"I just have this feeling that we won't be here to much longer."
"Then we should write Hermione a letter," he said. "And put it somewhere for her to find. We can get rid of it if we make it past her graduation."
"All right," his wife agreed. So he got up and returned with a pen and some paper.
Our dearest daughter, they began.
Three hours later they finished and hid the letter. That night Voldemort came and killed them both, ironically leaving a not atop the man's chest. An hour later Hermione Granger learned her parents were dead.
All right, the explanation for this one is basically Hermione's adopted father wants to tell her the truth about her family and has been wanting to do so for years but his wife and stopped him. She doesn't want Hermione to find out, but finally in the fic she (remember, she's a seer!) has been having bad feelings and small glimpses of the future and knows that if they don't tell her soon, she won't get told so she agrees to tell Hermione, but then she tells her husband of her bad feelings and they agree to write Hermione a letter that explains everything in case they don't make it to her graduation when they plan to tell her. However, it is the day that Voldemort comes to kill them, so they never get a chance to tell Hermione. The letter will come up in O Future Tell of Secrets, so it might be useful to keep this one in mind! Please review and say if you want me to write a prequel about Hermione's childhood and get more into her parents, who I only touched briefly upon in O Future Tell of Secrets!
