Another Chance: Chapter 2

Minerva slowly got a hold of her self. Looking up into her husbands blue eyes she found the comfort and support she needed to pull it together and finish what had to be done. Albus found the same kind of comfort as there was a knock on the door.

Reluctantly Albus Dumbledore got up to answer a very quiet Minerva sitting on the couch.

About a half an hour later Hermione walked into Gryffindor tower with a tear stained face. She felt so lost. For the first time in her life, Hermione Granger didn't know what to do.

A few moments later she noticed Harry sitting on the couch. He wasn't crying, he was stiff and still, staring off into space. He didn't even acknowledge Hermione's presence in the room.

Hermione sat next to Harry on the couch and pulled him into a hug. He still hadn't moved or looked at her.

"So I guess they told you, huh?" Hermione questioned.

"You knew too?" Harry asked wide-eyed and angry. "But then again the whole world probably knew before I did. But you Hermione, how could you not tell me? I thought we were best friends!"

"We are Harry! I just found out myself. If I would have known you were my brother, I would have told you a long time ago." Hermione explained defensively. "I'm as shocked as you."

"Your brother?" Harry questioned. "I don't understand."

"I'm your sister Harry. I thought they told you. They told me." Hermione said.

"I stormed out right after McGonagall told me Dumbledore was my father." Harry explained, slowly realizing that maybe he overreacted slightly.

"We'll Harry, were brother and sister and out parents are Minvera McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore." Hermione said slowly, as if it was all just sinking in for her. "I can't believe this Harry. Why did they never tell us? I feel like I've been living a lie my whole life." She said as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Me too Hermione, Me too." Harry said softly hugging his new found sister.

"Albus, she said 'Thank you, professors' and walked out. That hurt so bad." Minerva said through her tears.

"I know tabby it hurt me too. We had to expect they would be angry though. We kept this huge secret from them their whole lives." Albus tried to explain, but it was as if he was convincing himself as well. He pulled his wife into his arms allowing her to cry into his shoulder.

"It's all just so unreal. We finally are able to tell them what we have wanted to their whole lives, and when we do they both get angry and run away." Minerva said quietly as if it was a dream and not really happening. "I suppose Hermione told Harry they are siblings by now."

Albus nodded, "Yes I suppose she has. Don't worry Min. They both have your spirit and ability to see the reality in a situation. They will come around eventually. After all, if I was in their position I suppose I would be quite angry as well." He said as he planted a kiss on his wife's forehead. "It will all turn out okay."

About an hour later Minerva was awoken by a knock on the door. She slipped out of Albus's arms and walked the short distance from the couch to the door. Her face was met by those of her children. Harry appeared angry but had seemed to calm down quite a bit. Hermione looked hurt, and that killed Minerva inside

"Professor," Harry spoke first, "I realize that I overreacted this morning, and I was wondering if maybe we could try this again."

Minerva nodded, not trusting her own voice at the moment. She motioned for them to come in. They sat down opposite of where Albus was sitting, now awake. Minerva took a seat next to her husband.

"I'm not going to try to make you forgive us, because I know what we have done seems very unforgivable. However, we would like a chance to explain to you." Albus started. The young adults noticed the difference in Albus Dumbledore. He looked like he had been defeated. They were so used to seeing him in control, but now it seemed as if he had lost all control.

"We have a few questions if you don't mind." Hermione said carefully.

All the members of the Dumbledore family were unsure at the moment. None of them knew how to move forward, but somehow they knew that this was the first step towards becoming a family. Finally.
