A/N: My first Harry Potter fic, I hope you like it

Hermione had changed over the years, she had grown taller, she had slimmed out, and her once untamable hair had found its perfect balance. Yes, in any guy's eyes Hermione was a babe to say the least.

"Hermione could you come down stairs please, your mother and I have something we need to talk to you about!" Hermione's dad yelled upstairs from the bottom of the stairs. It was the middle of July and the newly 17 year old Hermione was home from Hogwarts.

"I'll be down in a minute Dad!" Hermione yelled back to her father from her loft bedroom which was currently decorated in midnight blue and silver. She was in the midst of going through her wardrobe choosing clothes for a party she would be attending later that night. After thinking for a few seconds she finally decided on a pair of khaki capris with draw-strings on the hem and a deep red halter top expertly paired with a pair of black strapped heals.

After congratulating herself on finding the perfect outfit she flew down the two flights of stairs and down the hall into her house's study where her parents most likely were. Upon entering the study she immediately noticed that her mother's eyes were red and tear stained and her father looked extremely angry.

"Mom, Dad, what's wrong?" Hermione asked with a quiver in her voice, her parents were usually such level headed people, it was strange to see them not their normal cheery selves.

"Honey, your birthparents have owled us, they would like you back." Hermione's father replied with his back turned to his daughter.

"What, my birthparents? What are you talking about Daddy, you and Mom are my parents?" Hermione's mind was reeling what was her father talking about, her birthparents, they were her parents.

It was then that Hermione's mother spoke up, in a calm voice she told her only daughter, "Honey you may want to sit down, there are some things your father and I need to tell you about."
