Summary: Hermione is told she is really a pureblood witch. Her and Harry get a few surprised though out their firth year, and how powerful they both really are. (I have changed the summary, as I have been writing the story I thought it would be better for Ron to still talk to Harry and Hermione, but that doesn't mean it will always stay like that!!)
Author's note: Not a planned chapter, but I thought I write it, thinking that I was ready to spill some of the secrets of this story.

Chapter 11
Harry and Hermione were exhausted when they returned to their rooms after the workout Severus had put them through. They collapsed onto the couch, and wished they didn't have to go to their classes, they also dreaded the rest of their personal workout session with Severus that they had to do everyday before classes on weekdays and before breakfast on weekends.
Hermione lazily looked up at the clock on the wall and saw they had 30 minutes until their first class. She pushed Harry off the couch and slowly started to stand as well.
"Ouch" Harry moaned, rubbing his butt. "Why you do that?"
"Classes start soon and we need to take showers, you can use the bathroom first!" Hermione ordered.
"Oh okay!" Harry pouted, he didn't want leave the couch, but knew he had no choice as Hermione would do anything to make sure he went to classes, including spraying him with cold water just to wake him up. He crawled onto his knees and pushed up off the floor and stood. Sluggishly he walked to the stairs and up to his room to access the shared bathroom between their rooms.
"Do be quick Harry we still need to meet Lavender and the others!" Hermione shouted after him, and as a response all she got groan. She quickly made her way up to her room to make sure everything was sorted for her shower and her books for classes.
10 minutes later their was a knock on her bathroom door, which was the signal Harry and Hermione used to tell each other the shower or bath was free, she quickly gathered up her clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
10 minutes after entering into her room after showering Hermione was dressed and picking up her bag, when there was another knock on her bathroom door that was followed by Harry voice.
"Hermione you ready?" He asked.
"Yes, come in we use the door in my room." She answered and soon after Harry walked through.
"Well you don't look so tried anymore!" She stated, as he approached her.
"The shower helped me to wake up, looks like it did for you as well." He said still approaching her. When he was a few inches away from her, he lightly took her hand; he brought it towards his mouth and kissed her palm.
"I didn't say good morning probably this morning." He uttered in a whisper, he placed her hand over his shoulder and Hermione moved her other one to join it, while his hands grabbed her waist.
"You know what I think you are right!" Hermione said, and graced him with a smile that made Harry's heart melt. Harry smiled back at her and leaned in, and lightly touched his lips to hers. He pulled back and smiled again.
"Good morning Hermione!" He whispered.
"Well Mr Potter if you think that's a good morning kiss you have a lot to learn!" She spoke forcefully, but still smiled so to make sure Harry knew she was joking.
"Well Miss Granger teach away!" He answered her, after said that Hermione pulled forcefully on his neck and brought his lips crashing down on hers and she kissed him deeply.
"Good morning Harry!" Hermione sweetly said after she pulled back from the kiss. She laughed at Harry expression he was dazed and a little shocked into silence.
"Wow!" He quickly said.
"Yes I second that!" Hermione stated. "We better go to the Gryffindor common room now Harry." He nodded back agreeing with her.
Lavender was sitting on the couch in the Gryffindor common waiting for the boys to come down from the dorms; they hadn't turned up at breakfast, meaning they overslept. If they didn't come down soon she would have to make her way down the classes without them, and she didn't really want to walk all the way on her own. She sighed and looked around the common room in case she missed anyone else that she could walk down with, in case the event arose. All she saw was First and second years huddled into group talking excitedly.
Suddenly out of the corner of her eye was saw something appear, when she turned to see what had appeared she saw a door, she had never seen before in the four years she had been coming to school. Fears ripped through her, as she knew the door wasn't suppose to be there.
The handle of the door slowly started to turn and the door crept opened, and she heard someone's laughter coming from behind the slightly open door. She frowned as she realised she should know who's laughter that was, her mind screamed, but she couldn't place it.
When the door was fully opened she let out a loud shriek, brought her legs up to her chest and covered her face within her knees, and the laughter she heard stopped. Slowly moving her head up a bit hoping who ever just came through the door was not someone evil. She brushed when she saw Harry and Hermione standing in front of the opened door, with their eyebrows raised and expression that expressed 'I think she has finally gone crazy'. She quickly glanced to the first and second years and noticed they were also looking at her like she had gone mad.
"Hi Guys, um… You do know you just came though a door that didn't exist a minute ago… right?" She answered, feeling very humiliated. Harry and Hermione broke out into laughter again, amused that she thought the door was scary for some reason.
"Yeah, that's how we get round school, if weren't in numbers. Today we thought we walk down with you guys that's why we use the secret door that lead to the common room." Hermione spoke clearly and precisely.
"Right! I thought you were someone evil, because it's not everyday you see the door appear out of thin air." She whispered to them, so the first and second years couldn't hear her talk.
"Where are the guys?" Harry answered, knowing it was unusually not to see Dean, Seamus, and Neville in the common room this time of day.
"Probably rushing around to get ready, they missed breakfast!" She stated.
"Well that's a first." Hermione bluntly said.
"HARRY!" Dean voiced shouted from the stairs, the three friends turned around to face Dean, whom was walking towards them and Seamus and Neville following slowly behind him.
"What?" Harry asked confused as to why Dean was shouting at him.
"We demand to come back into the out dorm, we missed breakfast this morning and nearly wasn't up for classes without you being there." Seamus uttered.
"I don't think so, I like where I'm staying, I am so not moving back in especially since Ron there! Even if I had I choice of rooms, I would still choose the room I was given this year."
"But you always got us up in the mornings, because you were always the early riser, because of your nightmares. If you don't come back I don't think any of us will been ever having breakfast in the mornings." Dean pouted.
"How about we give you a compromise?" Hermione asked, and all the boys including Harry turned towards her with interest.
"How about every morning when we have to get up, we quick nip over the wake you guys up. That way you be sure to have breakfast and prepare for classes and still have time to spare."" Hermione offered. Harry was trying his hardest not to laugh, because he knew if they accepted they would hate them, for getting them at 6am in the morning, which was the time they had to get up at.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Dean squalled as he ran over to Hermione and threw his arms around her and gave her a big hug.
"I watched it Dean if I was you, she has a boyfriend!" Ron voiced flowed from behind them, they all turned to him with a disgust look, because they all knew Dean was playing around. Ron smirks and walked off, looking very sinister.
The Gryffindor's first class for that day was History of Magic, for the first time taking the class in all the years since joining Hogwarts they were a little excited about staying a wake in class. As it was rumoured that this year they would be learning the history of Merlin's time, and information about the four founders of Hogwarts.
As they sat through the class they were glad to find out they had a right to be excited about the class, as it seemed like Professor Binn's, the local ghostly teacher, give an upbeat lesson today. The students find it funny that the teacher obviously got bored about lecturing about Goblin rebellions as the students were about hearing about them.
The class was given the assignment to write a 2 foot essay on the impacts Merlin life has given to the modern wizarding world, he let the class go except for Harry and Hermione whom he quickly asked to stay behind.
"Well, I have been told to give you two something more advance to work on, as well as your normal assignment's, so I have thought about a whole year project to search your family tree's and write one side to parchment about each person in your family tree. If they are magical I wish you to write about any special qualities they may have had. I hope that project sounds better then me giving you loads of extra little projects to complete, this way you can manage your own schedule better."
"Sounds fine Professor." Harry answered.
"Fine, it sounds exciting. I have always wanted to trace my family tree!" Hermione Squealed.
When Harry and Hermione stepped out of the History of Magic Room, the other 5th year Gryffindor's were waiting for them, excluding Ron. They chatted all the way to DADA. Hermione was anxious to find out what kind of class her brother was going to give them.
They walked through the threshold of the door, and were surprised to see Professor Snape instead of Andrew standing at the front of the room.
"Come on now, hurry up we haven't got all day for you to take your seats." Snape pronounced. He shook most of the room, as he didn't say it cruelly or spiteful. Harry and Hermione seat down on a table next to their friends the stared at the professor, he stared right back, his eyes expressing he explain after the lesson why Andrew wasn't here.
"Now I will be taking the class today, as both professor Granger's have a personal business to attend to." Once he finished his statement every looked towards Hermione knowing that the professors were related to her. They all were wondering what kind of personal business they could be attaining too. Hermione ducked her head down, knowing she will have lots of questions fired at her that she couldn't answer.
The lesson went very slow for Hermione, she was worried about Hannah who was still in the hospital wing suffering from unknown curse, and a little worried about were her brother was. She knew deep down knowing him he was looking for a cure for Hannah, so she saw worried that the only source that could help Hannah would be in the dark arts. She knew her brother wouldn't take a second thought of using dart arts if it was going to safe their sister. It was a well-known fact if you used dark arts once you are often attempted to use more, as it was very addictive. That's why she was worried about her brother.
They stayed after class and waited for Severus to finish packing up from today's lesson.
"Okay, this is what we, the professor's known. Hannah is in the hospital wing, which you both know. And Andrew has barricaded himself in the library trying to find a why to lift the curse."
"His not looking into dark art's is he?" Hermione asked more scared now that her worries have been confirmed.
"No Hermione, he told me the way to lift the curse is not though dark arts, but through a conventional one. Now I don't know what he means by that. But knowing him, it could still out him a lot of trouble. Don't worry he will make sure he lowers the trouble."
"Don't worry, if a conventional way could put him in trouble it must be illegal!" Hermione stated.
"Maybe not Hermione, it may just be frowned upon. Now that's all I know, if you want to know more you will have to speak to Andrew. I am late to getting to my next Potions class, so I have to leave you two. Don't walk around the halls alone!" He stated, as he picked up the briefcase and walked out of the door, and Harry and Hermione walked to their next class, with Lavender and Neville whom had stayed outside to wait for them.
The day continued with gruelling lesson for all the firth years, they find this year harder then the others before. So they wondered what the other two years left at Hogwarts would be like, as those classes would be NEWT level, not OWL level which the were on now. Harry and Hermione found they had a lot extra work for each class, and Hermione was starting to worry if they had enough time to do them all in and the work they had received today did not include the new classes. They would start tomorrow.
