Chapter 2

Hermione blinked back tears as she remembered all the horrible events she had been through. Why did it have to be her? What was so special about the little filthy mudblood? Pureblood, she mentally corrected herself. She sighed and was lost in her thoughts again.

FLASHBACK

Hermione landed in a hotel room, with all her school stuff already there.  She found a note from Mr and Mrs Granger on a table

Dear Hermione,

We love you so much, even though you weren't ours. I hope you understand that. We're sorry we can't be there for you; our only advice for you is to go find your brother. You'll be able to help each other. We already paid for the room, and you will find some money on the table as well. In two days you will board the Hogwarts Express for your final year. Good luck!

Mum and Dad.

Hermione saw tear blotches on the paper, but was too tired and shocked to realize they were her own. She threw herself into the queen sized bed and immediately passed out.

The next two days had been hell for Hermione. She ate and cried and slept. She also noticed her hair was turning straighter, and the hair colour was lightening from mousy brown to light brown.

On the last day she finally got herself together and grabbed some floo powder.

"Diagon Alley" she choked.

She really hoped Ron and Harry weren't there, she didn't feel up to talking to them.

She fished out her list of school supplies that she had gotten the day before, and went to work. To cheer herself up she went to the pet store in search of a new pet. Crookshanks had died last year.

She looked through all of the animals, as they had every sort it seemed. She finally spotted something at the back of the shop. A white furry kitten, with one black paw. She had silvery-green eyes and was washing herself.

"Perfect" Hermione thought, smiling a bit.

She looked at the price, and realized it was very expensive. She bought it anyway, and since it was a she, named her Whisper.

She took Whisper back to the hotel, along with her school supplies.

The rest of the evening she used to train her kitten. Well, more get to know her. Whisper proved smart for a kitten, and she had an extra long tail. Hermione decided to look her up.

"Extra long tail..hmmm…."Hermiones eyes widened. "A Myni!" She skimmed over the contents. Basically it said this: a Myni is a very wise telepathic creature, resembling a cat with a long tail. A Myni knows what its owner is feeling and is extremely rare. Myni´s do need time to grow into their powers though. Not many people know about Myni´s because they are so alike the cat. A Myni´s main feature is that it helps you understand your thoughts.

"Wow" she breathed, and looked at the kitten. It looked up at her innocently. Hermione smiled and shook her head.

"No wonder you were so expensive little one."

Draco Malfoy was bored out of his wits. He was rich, he was famous, he was handsome, he was bored. He dragged himself up to his parents study.

"Mother, Father, I'm bored! Why am I an only child?"

"But you are not."

"Are not what? Of course I'm bored! I just said so!"

"Yes, Draco. But you are not an only child." His mother said gently.

Draco Malfoy processed this valuable bit of information through his brain.

"Hahaha! Good one mum! Hahaha!"

"Your mother is not kidding Draco."

Draco fell silent. His eyes bugged. He looked incredulously from one parent to another.

His mother sighed.

"Draco, one year after you were born, we had a beautiful girl. We named her Kimberly, Kimmi for short. But the Dark Lord felt the power within her. He wanted to use her, and we couldn't let that happen. We gave her away for protection. Someday she will come back, and we will all be together again."

"How can you be so sure she will come back?" Draco asked curiously.

"We can't. We just hope. But the only way is through you, Draco. The tear shaped pendant you always wear, she has the other half. The only way is for her to see it."

"But-you said she had powers-"

"Not anymore. The powers lie in you. You cannot use them, for they have her essence in them. But we had to transfer them because otherwise the dark Lord would sense the power and find her. When you connect the pendants the powers will be transferred back to her."

"But why can't I remember her?"

"Because we put a memory charm on you."

"Oh" said Draco, and he fainted.

Hermione woke up the next morning and took a shower. She couldn't help notice that her hair was a shade lighter again.  She got her stuff together and called a taxi  and was on her way to the Hogwarts Express.

END FLASHBACK

Hermione's hand went to her throat, to fiddle with her pendant. For the sake of her old parents, she would find her brother.
