Walking down the hall to the library, Hermione wasn't paying full attention to her surroundings and she ran into something, literally. She had collided with her friend Ginny, Ron's little sister they said sorry to each other and they both said where they were going and coincidentally they were both headed to the library. Ginny in her fifth year was in need of major study time for the O.W.L.s and Hermione just needed time to study for the test coming in a week. So they headed there and they sat at the same table. Ginny started studying and Hermione went to look for a book, she knew she was procrastinating but she would study late, it was only the second week of the term, come on, just a little bit of fun time couldn't hurt, right? Right, she went looking through the yearbook section, and got out a yearbook labeled 1978, curiosity over took her and she went to the table immediately and sat down to start looking at pictures of Harry's mom and dad and their friends.
She looked at one picture curiously, it had James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Petigrew, and a girl whose name was Cassandra Potter. Cassie (her nickname which was in parentheses) was surrounded by the four guys. Peter kneeled in front of her facing the camera, Remus stood to her left, James to her right with his arm around her, and Sirius stood behind her. They were all grinning happily and waving like mad. They looked so... so happy and carefree. Hermione turned to Ginny and told her to look at the picture, they both wondered who this Cassie Potter was. They decided to go see Professor Dumbledore, and so they did.
They were about to reach the head master's office when Draco Malfoy stopped them and they were trapped. Draco went over to Hermione and was about to hit her when all of sudden her knee collided with Draco's family jewels. They ran away, laughing the whole time.
They were finally there, now on other occasions it would be hard to get into Dumbledore's office, but Hermione had already gone there earlier to talk about her school schedule so she already knew the password. Ginny and herself jumped onto the slowly winding stairs and they reached his office. Before Hermione even touched the door, they heard him say 'come in'. They looked at each other and went in.
"Professor, I was looking at this old yearbook and I was wondering, who is this girl?" Hermione asked quickly getting to the point.
"Miss Granger, that is Miss Cassie Potter, she to this day is missing," said Dumbledore sadly.
"Oh, so she's Harry's aunt?" asked Ginny in awe.
"Yes Miss Weasley, she is, but no one has been able to find her since the death of James and Lily. Remus went looking for her as well did Sirius before he was captured, neither ever found her," said Dumbledore the well- known twinkle in his eyes slowly faded.
"Sir, can I show Harry this?" asked Hermione.
"If you wish, but be careful, things are not always as they seem," and with those last words the girls exited the room. ###
"Wow, that was..."Ginny trailed off.
"Odd, yeah defiantly," Hermione agreed.
They walked up to the Gryffindor tower and said the password (we are the champions) and walked in. They immediately saw Harry and ran up to him.
"Harry, guess what?" Ginny said excitedly.
"What," asked Harry with a small smile, ever since Sirius died it Harry never smiled like he used to.
"Look here, look, look!" said Hermione enthusiastically.
"Ok, ok, I... What is this?" he asked in awe.
"This is the yearbook of when your father was in 6th year, Harry," answered Ginny softly.
"Who is this?" Harry asked pointing to the girl in the middle.
"That is Cassie Potter, she's your aunt, Harry. She went missing after James and Lily died," said Hermione sadly.
"Wow, let me go get Ron, ok?" asked Harry.
"Ok, go get him," said Hermione happily, she was glad to see Harry happy for a little while.
Before Harry and Ron got back, Ginny and Hermione felt a familiar tug around their naval, after that everything went black.
