Authors Note: Heres the next chapter, I hope you like this. Thanx to all my reviewers, again.

The two teenagers sat almost on the edge of your seats. It seemed to them that Dumbledore had held this dramatic pause for much longer than he needed too.

"Hermione, I don't know if you know this but you have a 2nd cousin that lives in Rome and she is getting married in 3 days time." Hermione looked stunned. She had no idea she had family left, she thought she was the only one left.

"I uh…h-have a cousin? I thought I was the only one left."

"Well, you are, the only one left with the name. However, many of your relatives have gotten married and changed their last names. Anyway, she has requested you attend, now that it is safe for you to come out of hiding, and meet the family."

"That sounds awesome! I've never had relatives." Hermione was so excited that she wasn't even angry about never being told about them before. She thought it must have been security issues…

"You were never told about them before for security issues." Haha I was right.

Draco looked at the girl, who was chuckling under her breath, in confusion. What are they talking about? Relatives? Hiding? Security Issues? Hey isn't the Blanche girl getting married in a couple of days? That can't mean anything, Hermione wouldn't know her, let alone be related to her, she wasn't pureblood.

"If you don't mind me asking…what are you talking about?" Interrupted Draco.

"Well Mr. Malfoy, it is completely up to Hermione to decide whether or not she wants to tell you."

"Well. I guess I could, considering we're heads together, and I wouldn't want to inhibit our working together…" What is she talking about? "I'll just say it then…imnotagrangerimasaphira."

"Umm…you are going to have to break it up a little. I have no idea what you just said."

Hermione took a deep breath and tried again. "I'm not a Granger, I'm actually a Saphira." As an afterthought she added, "Meaning I'm not a muggleborn I'm a pureblood."

"What? Really?" This is insane…I would never have known. "Hey don't all Saphiras have caramel coloured hair, like the Malfoys and white-blond?"

"Yes actually, there is a spell on my hair making it brown. Anyway, my family has been in hiding ever since Voldemort. He of course was after them to either recruit them or kill them. My family would never turn to that side, and because of this almost all of my family were killed. People thought that the Saphiras were gone forever, but they were wrong. My mother and father hid in the muggle world, then went to Muggle University to get their degrees as dentists, and then set up a business that would make money for them to live on. They were quite successful. I have always known who I was, but I was forbidden to say anything until Voldemort was gone. After he was killed, my parents and I moved back into the mansion and that's pretty much the whole story. Please don't say anything though, I'm not ready for everyone to know." Hermione looked at Draco with pleading eyes.

He couldn't say no to those eyes… "I promise I won't say anything."

"Well now that Draco know the story I can tell him where he comes in."

"Where I come in? What do you mean?" What is this crazy old coot thinking now?

"I would like if you would accompany Miss Gran…Saphira to Italy for the week. You know the etiquette needed at these places. I'm confident that you will be a huge help to her. Besides, I hope you two will become friends, it would be a great help to unite the houses."

"We are going to Italy?" Hermione asked, clearly excited. "I've been to France but never Italy! This is going to be so fun, and interesting with all the old buildings…"

"Ok Grange…Saphira…" This is going to be difficult. "We get it.!" Draco continued with a mocking voice, "There is soo much history, think of all the libraries I've never gone to…"

"Shut up Malfoy!"

"Ok now quiet down you two. You will both be leaving back to London In a few hours…so no need to unpack. I realize that the trip here was a little point less, but you both have your apparating licenses you can use to get to London. You will be traveling by plane to Italy however. I believe it would be a good experience for Draco. Well that's all for now you can go say good-bye to your friends then meet your heads of houses at the front doors before you leave. Happy traveling, Have fun!"
