Chapter 6: Shocking Explanations
Ginny had just finished getting dress and was reaching for her hairbrush when she heard Hermione screaming. She couldn't make out what Hermione was saying, but Ginny instantly knew that it had to be serious if her friend was screaming. Hermione rarely ever yelled and the only time she did was if she was really angry or scared. What Ginny didn't know was that it was a combination of both.

Blaise was about to get into bed when he heard Hermione scream. Knowing that Draco was the only other person in the common room, Blaise hurried out to see what Draco had done now. All that he had been able to make out of Hermione's screaming was "I hate you". Really that wasn't surprising, but Blaise was curious as to what he could do that would cause that reaction from Hermione. At the same time that he threw open his door, the door next to him was thrown open and out stepped Ginny Weasley.

Ginny Weasley stepped out of the bathroom and almost ran straight into Blaise Zabini as he was coming out of his bedroom. The two looked at one another and were about to head to their friends' rooms when they heard a sob come from the floor by the couch. The two students hurried over and found a site that neither had expected. Both the Gryffindor and the Slytherin had expected the sob to belong to Hermione Granger, not Draco Malfoy. Ginny Weasley was surprised to see Draco cry. She didn't know that he could. The only expression that Draco Malfoy had ever showed was hatred or disgust. Never in her life had she thought that she would see him cry. Quickly she got over her shock and ran to Hermione's room where she found a very hysterical Hermione.
Ginny entered Hermione's room carefully. She had only seen Hermione angry twice and she had learned that if Hermione was far too mad that you should give her a few hours to calm down. What Ginny did not expect was to find her best friend on her bed balling her eyes out. She wondered what happened between Hermione and Malfoy. What had caused both heads to start crying?
"Hermione?" Ginny called caustically, hoping that her friend wouldn't get mad at her.
"Ginny!" Hermione cried while still sobbing. She threw herself into her friend's arms and continued to cry. When she was finally done crying, Hermione withdrew herself and looked at her friend. "I'm sorry, Gin." Hermione said ashamed to be seen crying like a baby.
"Its fine, Mione, but why were you crying? What happened between you and Draco? What happened to make the two of you cry?" Ginny questioned her friend, hoping that she would get some answers.
"Malfoy's crying?" Hermione asked clearly confused. She hadn't done a thing to Malfoy, but yelled. Why would he cry? He was the one to play the cruel joke on her.
"Yeah, Blaise and I found him on the floor in the common room. We thought that it was you, but then we saw that it was Malfoy. Please Hermione tell me what happened." Ginny pleaded with her friend.
"Fine, but I have to start at the beginning. Do you remember on the train that I had to tell you something when we had more privacy?" At Ginny's nod Hermione continued.
"In the beginning of the summer I got some news that has changed at lot of things." Hermione sighed before continuing. "I'm adopted."
Ginny gasped. She would have never guessed that Hermione was adopted. The few times that she had seen and spoken to the Grangers, showed Ginny where Hermione's personality came from. She was so much like them. And she looked like them as well, but than again, Ginny figured that there could have be a diguising charm placed on Hermione to hide her actual appearance. She also figured that Hermione could have inherited her personality from the Grangers since she had lived with them for as long as she could remember.
"Do you know anything about your family?" Ginny asked while she was finally over her shock.
"All I know is that they are purebloods, and that they left me on a doorstep of an adoption agency when I was eight months old with only a letter saying that they loved me and wishing that I was given to a good family and was well cared for. We also think that my actual initials are RKZ" Hermione said showing Ginny the necklace that she always wore.
"Oh, but what does that to do with Malfoy? You're not like his sister or something are you?" Ginny questioned
"WHAT? NO, there is no way that I am related to Malfoy!" Hermione cried, "It's just that earlier Malfoy and I called a truce to be civil towards each other and I though that for once we would actually get along. The year would be so much easier if we could just get along." She explained to her friend.
The girls continued there conversation unknown that only a few rooms away a conversation was going on between two boys that would forever change the life a Gryffindor and a Slytherin.

"Draco, what happened? What's the matter with you? What have you and Granger manage to fight about now?" Blaise questioned his friend.
"Rayanna" was all Draco managed to say as another sob approached.
Blaise was taken aback when he heard his best friend speak his lost twin's name.
That was the last thing he had expected to come out of Draco's mouth. "What about Rayanna?" he questioned clearly confused.
"Granger is Ray" Draco replied looking into his friend's eyes.
It took a few second to register what Draco had just said, but once it sunk in Blaise shot up from the floor and with a loud shout of "RAYANNA" he barged into his sister's bedroom. The next thing she knew, she was being tackled to the floor by Blaise Zabini who had began spraying kisses on her forehead.
