Disclaimer: well... I own shit! Well... I do own the Verona's and... possibly the plot... I'm not sure anymore, I've read so many darned Fan Fics. I don't know what's mine and what's not!

Written: thank you so much... you were my very very first reviewer!!!


Hermione knew by the cryptic message, her parents were not normal. She was completely confused that they even called themselves her mother and father. Hermione knew that the Grangers were her real parents. She looked like them, she acted like the, hell she even had their brains! But what she had that the Grangers didn't was magic. She knew something was different the day she received the letter from Hogwarts.

After receiving the letter from her 'parents' Hermione knew she needed to write to Mr. Weasley. Mr. Weasley was her best friend Ron's father. He was a pureblood who worked at the Ministry of Magic, and should be able to give her the answer that she is looking for. So she sat down and wrote a letter. After reading and re-reading it several times she was satisfied with it. She summoned her owl Jade by raising an owl treat in her hand. Of course Jade complied and nipped playfully on Hermione's finger.

"Take this to Mr. Weasley, and make sure Ron doesn't see you! Hang around all day I don't care what you have to do, just make sure he doesn't know alright?" Hermione instructed Jade seriously.

Jade nipped Hermione's finger once again implying she understood. She then opened the window for Jade and watched her fly out. She ended up watching her for a good ten minutes until she finally faded out into a tiny black dot.

You are the antidote that gets me by Something strong

Like a drug tat gets me high


Draco screamed at his mother for what seemed like hours. Until he realized, that he had no fucking clue who Hermione Verona was.

"Mother, who is Hermione Verona?" Draco asked between one of his bouts of rage.

"Hermione Verona... Is from a highly respected pureblooded family. They date back even farther than the Malfoys and Blacks."

"So, why have I never heard of them mother?"

"Because, honey... We all thought they were dead." Narcissa said tenderly.

"So, I'm being forced to marry someone from their family I don't even know. All because they just happen to resurface!?" Draco screamed with a slight venom in his voice.

"Well, yes." Narcissa said hoping her son would calm down before he ended up doing something he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Bloody well figures, purebloods must always do things the difficult way, even it if hurts someone else in the end." Draco said with an almost proud smirk on his face.

"Yes, I suppose we do, don't we?" Narcissa said with a timed and cautious smile.

What I really meant to say

Is I'm sorry for the way I am

I never meant to be so cold to you

Draco pondered over this new bit of information. 'Well at least if I'm being forced to marry someone it's not that pug-faced whore Parkinson. Gods is she a whore, even in a slut's eyes she is disgusting.' (a/n: is that even possible?)

When Draco smirked casually Narcissa sighed, extremely relieved. She had been worried about this day for 16 years. When Draco was only five, the Veronas and Malfoys agreed that their son and daughter would have beautiful, smart, and extremely powerful children. Powerful offspring was the main reason. Purebloods only thought about becoming more powerful.

However, the Malfoys were a pure evil family, while the Veronas were a purely good family. One might wonder why they betrothed their only heirs.

(A/N: Well, you're just gonna have to wait aren't ya!)


The next day Hermione woke up to Jade tapping at her bedroom window. She quickly walked over to the window and opened it. She looked at who the letter was addressed too. Then mentally slapped herself because she lives alone! The only mail she ever receives is always addressed to her!

When Hermione woke up hours later, she saw the letter clutched in her hand. She remembered. 'Oh my Gods! I'm really not a Granger, the Veronas were right.'

Dear Hermione, How are you? Molly and I are of course getting along. I do hope you don't mind, but I told Molly that I was helping you with this... err... 'thing' But like you requested, I did not tell Ron. Your blasted owl woke Molly and I up at four in the morning! Anyhow, you should find enclosed some of Molly's amazing fudge and the records you asked for. Let me tell you, getting a hold of those wasn't a piece of cake. It also wasn't easy seeing how the Grangers haven't ever been witches or wizards. I took the liberty at checking your family tree to see if there were ever any family members adopted. (Wizards have a way with this) I took a letter from Harry that you had sent him; because it was your personal possession before you sent it to him therefore it was a part of you. (I told Harry I needed it to do something for you, he completely understood, and don't worry I didn't tell him anything) Anyhow, I put a spell on it and it showed me your family tree, no one has been adopted, but you Hermione. I know you didn't want to find out this way. As a friend I suggest you go through all of your adopted parents' legal work and find papers, or possibly talk to your parents loyal. See if they handled the adoption of you Hermione. If you would like I can do another spell to see who your real parents are, but it is illegal and only for professional healers. Only healers can perform this spell because many children used to perform it and would find out they were adopted the wrong way. I'm sorry I had to break this to you Hermione. Please visit soon! The boys are almost out of Auror training, and Ginny really does miss you!

With lots of love,
Arthur and Molly

P.S. Molly says that if you don't come and visit soon, she will be taking evasive action and going straight to the company you work with and requesting that you have at least a week off to come visit us and take a load off.

And I'm sorry about all the lies Maybe in a different light

Hermione couldn't believe it... She really was adopted. 'How could my parents never tell me? They should have told me before they died! Oh... wait... They were killed instantly with the unforgivable! How could they have told me! They could have at least left it in the Will. The Will!!!' Hermione then went off to find her mother and father's Lawyer. He should have the answers.

A/n: the loyal that Mr. Weasley mentioned was a lawyer... I'm sure those in the wizarding world don't have any... so he doesn't know what they are called exactly

I also forgot the song I used in the last chapter was by Clint Black-Like the Rain And the song I used in this chapter was by Crossfade-Cold
