"Oh my gosh!" Hermione gasped. "This can NOT be happening!" She sat down on the couch as she read past her Head Girl Duties.

' Miss Granger, I am also to inform you of your true life. You were adopted as a young child when your father was robbed of his power. Your true Father is Tom Marvolo Riddle, more commonly known as Voldemort. I know this may come as a shock to you, but Lucius Malfoy is your godfather. When you arrive at Hogwarts, you will be shown to your room where a portkey will be waiting for you. You will be transported to the Riddle Mansion, where your father will explain about the rest of your life.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore '

"I can't believe this!" Hermione whispered.

"What? Can I see?" Draco asked trying to read over her shoulder. She handed him the letter and watched as his eyes got wide with surprise and shock.

"Hermione," He said with awe, "You've got to be the richest and most powerful under-age witch in the world!"

She sat there for awhile then finally said, "I guess that means I'm not a muggle-born, huh?"

Draco chuckled. "I never would have guessed. I wonder who your mom is Hermione, does it say?"

"You know, you've been calling me by my first name for a while now, and you haven't even noticed?" She asked slowly.

"I did notice, but since you didn't seem to mind I didn't stop."

"Oh, ok." Hermione looked around. "You know, we should go to Diagon Alley, we have to buy our supplies."

She looked over to her calendar. "It's only September 20th." (A/N doesn't the school year start on August 1st? o well, in this fic it will .) She told him. "We don't have to leave until the 28th, and then we'll have time to shop around and stuff."

"Are you gonna tell Potty and Weasel King?" He asked her.

She glared at him. "Even though we're friends....well, kinda...I will not tolerate you calling them that. At least call them Potter and Weasly." She snapped. "And no, I will not tell them right away, I will wait until I think they are capable of handling that much information. Plus i'll have to tell them about the whole Lucius thing too. I wonder if he even knew!?" Hermione was muttering to herself by now.

Draco sighed and started mimicking her behind her back.

"I can see you, ya know." She told him, sounding amused. "Is that really what I do?"

"No, but it's pretty close..." Draco said without thinking.

"Whatever. Ok, we have a whole week to do stuff, what do you want to see or do?" She asked him.

"Can we go to the states?" Draco asked, excited.

Hermione considered it for a moment then said, "I have a cousin in the states, maybe we could stay at her place. Her name is Nikki and she had a twin brother named Ethan. Let me call them and ask Jenny. Actually, Draco you go ask Jenny. Just tell her that we want to go visit the Lang's"

Draco ran upstairs to ask her, while Hermione dialed her cousin's phone number.

It rang for a minute then someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Hermione, is Nikki there?" She asked.

"You're talkin' to her. Sup Hermione!?" Nikki asked excitedly.

"Well, "Hermione began. "My friend, Draco, and I want to know if we can come visit for a week...this week. Can you ask your mom if that's okay? We can go sightseeing and whatever while we're there. Make sure to plead and beg..." Hermione said. She heard some begging and pleading on the other end of the phone then an excited squeal.

"YES! YOU CAN COME, YOU CAN COME!!" Nikki screeched happily.

"Ok, jeez, Nick, you're gonna make Ethan go deaf with all that yelling!" Hermione reprimanded into the phone.

"Sorry, when are y'all coming?" Nikki asked

"Tomorrow, by floo, around noon." Hermione responded.

"See you then. Bye Mya!"

"Bye Nick!"

"Okay Draco, are you ready to go?"
