For the next couple of moments no one spoke. The four wizards just stared in disbelief at the names staring back at them, Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Finally, Ron decided to speak and broke the silence.

"Er... it could be a mistake," Ron pointed out.

"Weasel, just because you're not perfect doesn't mean that there aren't some perfect people out there, like me, that don't make mistakes," Draco replied with a smirk.

"Ron, don't let him get to you," Ginny said quietly, yet loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Him! Get to me!? As if" Ron said.

Harry kept peering through the book until Draco stopped him from turning the page.

"And there's a picture, Weasley!" said Malfoy, flipping the directory over and holding it up. "Here it is. Your parents are in here…page 583 of the directory. It's a picture of them. Your mother could do with losing a bit of weight couldn't she?"

Ron now was shacking with fury along with Ginny.

Harry yelled back, "Get Stuffed!" After all he was insulting both of his friends- at the same time.

"Potter, you've stayed with them numerous times, haven't you?" Draco sneered.

Ginny replied, "Malfoy numerous is a pretty large word. Where did you pick it up? Your friends definitely aren't smart enough to use it."

Draco ignored her and continued to face Harry and Ron saying, "Potter I would like to know, is his mother really this porky or is it just the picture?"

Harry quickly replied, "I told you to stuff it…ferret boy!"

Draco's face turned slightly pink.

"Shut your fat mouth Potter!"

Ginny finally said, "You guys I got it."

All the boys stared at her.

"It says here that only a wizard's family will appear in the wizard directory." Ginny stated.

"Weasley please enlighten us at some other time. We are busy," Draco said about to state another nasty remark to Harry or Ron- he hadn't decided which one yet.

"I am not finished Draco," Ginny replied, "You're a lousy boyfriend. I don't know what Hermione even saw in you."

At the mention of Hermione, Draco stopped and realized that Hermione was in trouble and needed him. He said something that made even he himself want to vomit. "Harry…Ron…Ginny, I'm sorry I acted like a prat."

Harry stared at disbelief at the wizard standing by him and said, "We understand... Draco this is hard for everyone."

Ron stared from Harry to Draco and could have sworn he saw two good old friends comforting each other. Yet instead it was two enemies acting atrociously friendly and understanding towards one another. Ron knew he wasn't the brains of the group and knew that it would make it easier for them to just get along. So, without much choice, he kept his mouth shut and listened.

"As I was saying," Ginny replied loudly, "It says here that only a wizard's family will appear in the wizard directory and it also says that not all wizards are in this particular directory in which Draco picked up. Draco picked up the Wizard Directory, Volume Three. This volume only gives the names, addresses, and information of wizards who have or are working in the Ministry Of Magic. That is why our mum and dad are in the book."

Harry looked at Ginny in disbelief, she sounded exactly like Hermione. Harry looked at the book she was holding, Everything about the Wizarding World. Hermione is defiantly rubbing off on her.

"So," Ron stated, "Mr. and Mrs. Granger worked in the Ministry?"

"Or they still do work there," Ginny continued.

"Bliminey, Hermione isn't a mudbloo- er…isn't muggle born after all," Draco stated happily.

"That makes it easier for you two to go out, doesn't it? Hey Draco, maybe she is a pureblood, just like you? Then maybe, your father will become best friends with her father, since your father is only acquainted only with perfect, pureblood prats, kind of like your family, and then guess what? You can marry Hermione and abuse her and you can-"

"Ron," Ginny replied softly, "Hermione needs us to work together so just please; I'm not asking you to become best friends with Malfoy or anything-"

"Best Friends? Fat chance," Ron interrupted.

"Ron, Hermione needs you and me and Harry and Draco."

Ron nodded and gave up. They are just going to allow Malfoy to ruin there lives and control them! I will not. He can control Hermione and Harry. And even Ginny. But I will NOT EVER work with him. Why would I? Do I look like I want to take orders from him? "Ron stay here and if you see Hermione come and get me at once," you hear? Yeah RIGHT!

"Okay tomorrow lets meet her at 1am and we will go to the Ministry," Draco suggested.

"And what would we do? Just ask where are Mr. and Mrs. Granger? It's supposed to be a secret! Hermione would have known if it wasn't a secret, that her parents are wizards," Harry replied.

"They why was the book just here…Hermione reads a lot!" Draco replied.

Great. 39 points for Slythindor. Draco actually knows something about Hermione. What a surprise?

"But she also follows directions," Ginny explained, "The books in the restricted section…Hermione would NEVER go there."

"I'm stumped though…we aren't close to solving this mystery at all! The trip, Dumbledore's secrets, Pansy knowing about everything, Hermione missing…we know nada… Zip!" Draco replied miserably.

"But I know," came a voice. Neville stepped out of the corner trembling. "Don't be mad…but when I heard Hermione was missing I knew I had to help."

"What do you know?" Ginny asked.

"I know about everything…I've been listening to everything you guys have been talking about." Neville sounded extremely proud of himself as he continued, "And you guys didn't even realize I was there!"

"Er…," Harry wondered. They should have been more secretive about their plans.

"Hermione's parents…," Neville looked around and lowered his voice, "they are aurors (sp?)."

"How would you know, Longbottom?" Draco replied trying sincerely not to sound rude.

"My parents…they…they were aurors too."

The room became still.

"Look Neville I'm sorry to hear about what happened with them…my father told me," Draco replied.

Neville looked as happy as can be. "You called me Neville."

"Yes." Draco smiled.

"You really are helping us then?" Neville asked.

"I defiantly am!" Draco said. "If it's okay with you all, that is."

"For Hermione sake, it's perfect with me!" Harry replied.

"I second that!" Ginny said.

"Uh yeah… me too!" Neville said.

All eyes turned to Ron.

"Oh alright. It's fine with me too."

"So Neville, what do you know?" Harry asked.

Hermione's parents were aurors, like my parents, and they worked together. Hermione's parents were captured by you know who, but they managed to escape. Well as I recon, you know who was upset because they didn't give you know who, any information that he asked them for, yet they heard plenty of his ideas and plans. When they escaped, the Ministry changed there names to Mr. and Mrs. Granger, in order to protect not only themselves, but also there young daughter, Hermione. They became muggles who were dentists. You know who swore that if he ever found them or any of there relatives they would be…well…killed.

Shocked at what they were just told the wizards just sat there.

"Why were they in the Ministry book then? If they really are aurors?" Ron finally asked.

"Well just in case if you know who…Well he's smart…and he would wan't to get them back of course. So well…I guess it's to throw him off track. If, you know, he ever suspected the "Grangers."

The five wizards chatted some more and decided to pay a visit to the parents house the next night. They were all to meet in the library. Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Draco would come with the invisibility cloak to get Draco and they would meet in the library to discus how to get to Mr. and Mrs. Granger's house. As they chatted and discussed they were totally oblivious to the fact that there wasn't only five people in the room.

A/n- Last Friday I was at an ice-skating competition so I couldn't update. But, it's back to normal now, Every Friday! Well how did you like this chapter? Please tell me if I spelt aurors wrong and also tell me if you like the whole idea. If not I have 2 more ideas so ill change it. It's important I know if you like this idea because if you don't tell me I will continue with it. Personally, I like this idea the best - the one with her parent's being auroras. The other has to do with Dumbledore and the other has to do with Hermione's parents being death-eaters (a while ago). So tell me which idea you like!

-Thanks to my lovely reviewers- I love you guys and I can't wait to hear how you liked this chapter!
