Hermione was sitting in a small café in Diagon Alley. Her parents had gone to Paris for a couple of days ago. So she was left alone a week before she had to go get on the Hogwarts Express. She didn't feel like stay at home. There was no one there, and no people for her to interact with. She had already been to the bookstore about a dozen times, and bought something each time she went in there. But the bookstore and the people were not the main reason she came to Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley had place where you could go look up your family history.

Hermione had been cleaning the basement at the beginning of this summer. She came across something that changed her whole view on life, and the way she looked at her parents. It turned out before Hermione turned the age of two she was given up, and adopted by the Grangers. Hermione asked her parents about this, and they knew little about her family. All they knew was they were to give her a box when she turned 17 that her birth parents had given her.

Hermione sighed. Today was here 17th birthday. She had the box that they had given her sitting right there unopened. She didn't know what to except. She opened the box, and there was a letter in it along with a necklace. She picked up the necklace. It was beautiful. It was sliver with a snake wrapping it self around the letter B. The snake's eye was an emerald. She quickly put it around her neck. It looked like it was made for her. She glanced at it once more before picking up the letter. It had a wax seal on the back with a letter B on it. It looked to her that the seal had never been broken.

Dear Hermione Granger,

I do believe that by now you know that you are adopted, and that you are not a muggle born. You were in fact you were born to the best of the pureblood families. Being the child of these two families I will not tell you about your whole past. I want you to learn about as you would have done if your parents were still alive. Your parents were killed by the Ministries. To be more precise they were killed by Mr. Weasley. Furthermore your mother's last name is Thompson. Now you being in the muggle world all your life this last name means nothing to you, but in a short amount of time it will mean a lot to you. Also you have had many clues as to what your last name is. It begins with a B. I will also tell you that I am you uncle. You may wonder how this can be. I had a different Father than your mother. I would have raised you myself, but my job at the time would not permit it. Oh I almost forgot your first name is Maya and your middle is René. I do believe I have given you enough information to find out who you really are.

Sincerely, Serevus Snape
