Hermione look at the letter in shock. She didn't know what to think. So
many thoughts were running through head. Prof. Snape was her uncle, and she
was a pureblood. 'Man my life just did a 180 before my eyes! Leave it to
Snape to make me learn about my family on my own.' Hermione decided that
she better get cracking on her new 'project.'
Hermione placed the letter back in the box, and the charmed the box to fit
in her pocket
Hermione walked a few blocks down to the Family History place. She stopped in front of the place and looked at. It was an old brick building that was three stories high. It looked like it had been there for centuries. 'It probably has been here for centuries,' Hermione thought. 'Oh, well here it goes!' Hermione walked up to the door and pulled on and stepped in.
She glanced around it was very old looking it had spider webs and dust everywhere. She looked to here right there was an old man sitting there asleep. She walked over to him. "Mister! Mister! Please Wake up!" Hermione called out. He showed no sign of waking up. She glanced around on his desk and there was bell. Hermione glanced at the old man, and then she hit the bell hard. "What? What? Whose dying?" the old man screamed out. Hermione had to stifle a laugh.
"No one sir, you were asleep, and you would not wake up."
"Oh, I am very sorry. What can I do for you? You know we don't have many people coming in here,"
"I guess you wouldn't have many people coming in here. I need to look the family tree for the Thompson family."
The old man's eyes went wide, but he didn't ask any questions. Hermione noticed this, and decided to ask about it later. "I'll be right back," the old man said as he walked away. After a few minutes he came back, and this time he had a huge book. "Here you are. You may sit at one of those tables over there. The books are not aloud to leave this building," he said as he gave the book to her and pointed out the tables. Hermione nodded her head.
Hermione glanced around and found a suitable table to sit at. Once she comfortable in the chair she opened the huge book. She figured since what she need was very long ago that it would be towards the end of the book. She opened to the last page. It had about fifty names on it. She looked down at the very bottom. It had Maya René Bailey under the names Elizabeth Rose Thompson Bailey and Matthew Robert Bailey this had to be her parents. She quickly wrote down the names of here parents and grandparents on a sheet of paper. She closed the book. 'So this is real. I am a pureblood.' She sighed, and got up to take the book back to the old man. "Here you go sir," she said.
"Thank you, young lady,"
"Before I go may I ask you something?"
"Of course, ask anything at all,"
"Well I was wondering why your eyes went big when I asked for the Thompson family tree,"
"Because, my dear no one has talked about the family since the passing of the whole family: The husband, the wife, and the daughter. They were a strong wizarding family, but they got into some trouble, and were killed. A very tragic story if you ask me. Some people say that the daughter didn't, but I don't know. I think she would have turned up by now."
Hermione inwardly smirked. 'So half of the wizarding world thinks I am dead, oh this will be fun.' "Thank you sir!" she replied smiling sweetly as
she could as she left.
Authors Note: Okay! Okay! I want to know what you think so far. Draco is coming up in either the next chapter or the next one after that. I am not really sure. I want at least two reviews before the next chapter. They can be flames *ducks under desk to hide*.
Poem:
As I stare off into the stars I wonder what the universe can hold What out there that I'll never see And what I could learn from it A universe of knowledge that I'll never Be able to learn from it, feel it, and be there Wondering what I am being deprived from What I could possibly learn This thought runs through my mind so warm Something I desire to know more about But I can't I have so many questions That will never be answered And I don't even know if there's an answer I will always wonder what there more what there is to be learned And I'll probably never have a true answer to that By: Hermionwhite
