Harry walked into Grimmauld Place and tried to shut the door quietly. He was hoping he wouldn't run into anyone before he found Remus.

"Harry" Hermione said as she came out of the kitchen. "Welcome back"

"Thanks" Harry replied. Hermione came over to him and gave him a hug which he quickly squirmed out of.

"Harry?" Hermione asked, "are you ok?'

Harry nodded, 'Of course I am" he said, "I just need to see Lupin. Do you know here he is?'

"Yeah, he is upstairs" Hermione answered him, looking unconvinced. "He is talking to Moody about something"

"Thanks, I will talk to you later Mione" Harry cried over his shoulder as he climbed the stairs. Harry felt awful for lying to Hermione. But he didn't know what to say. How do you tell someone who has been your friend for a long time that she is your sister? What if Hermione didn't even know she was adopted?

"Remus" he called as he walked into the Drawing room. Remus was sitting and having a chat with mad eye moody and seemed surprised to see Harry.

"Hello Harry" he greeted his former student, 'I was just telling Alastor about Snape"

Harry nodded, 'can I talk to you in private?" Harry asked.

Remus excused himself and followed Harry out. They went into one of the unused room at the end of the hall. Harry placed a locking charm and a silencing charm on the door. "I know who my sister is" Harry told Remus.

"Who?" Lupin asked, 'Do you know her, where is she?"

"Remus, it's Hermione" Harry told him. Remus looked shocked.

"Are you sure?" Remus asked when he regained his composure. Harry nodded and took out the name change form; Remus took it from him and read.

"Merlin's beard" Remus breathed.

"What do I do?" Harry asked, "Do I forget this happened or do I tell her?"

"I wish I knew Harry" Remus replied, "but I am at a loss here"

"I think first I should find out if Hermione even knows she is adopted" Harry told him. "If she does then I will feel it out from there. If she doesn't then I will drop it. I don't want to traumatize her."

"That sounds good" Remus said. He grasped Harry's shoulder, "Are you ok?"

"I have a sister" Harry chuckled, "A sister who I already loved as a sister and I may not be able to tell her. I feel selfish because I want her to know. I want us to be a family"

"There is nothing selfish about that"Resmus told him. "We should go; there is meeting going on about Snape and other things. We should really attend."

Harry nodded and followed his former professor out of the room.

The Order decided it would be best to stay out the Snape trial. They were all a little curious but they had more important things to do. Hermione was working on finding the location of the next horcruxes and Tonks was trying to locate Bellatrix husband so they could get information from him.

Later that evening Harry Ron and Hermione were back at the Burrow Harry broached the subject.

"You know Hermione we don't know anything about you" Harry started.

"Harry" Hermione said, "You have known me for a long time, I think you know everything about me"

"Not really" Harry argued, "what were your parents like, where did you grow up?'

"I grew up in Devin" Hermione answered, 'My parents were good. Where is this coming from?"

"No where" Harry answered feeling disappointed until Ron spoke up.

"He kind of has a point Hermione" Ron said, "You know every thing about our childhoods"

"Well, what do you want to know?" Hermione asked looking uncomfortable.

"I don't know" Ron sighed, "Whatever, just something about who you were before Hogwarts"

"Ok" Hermione said. She seemed deep in thought for a moment. "I have an older brother named Steven. He is 30 and lives in The United Sates. I had a puppy when I was a kid; he died before I came to Hogwarts. I am adopted and I never met my biological parents"

Harry nearly choked when she said this.

"You ok mate?" Ron asked looking alarmed.

Harry nodded, 'Sorry about your puppy" Harry told Hermione.

"Thanks?" she said sounding confused.

"You're adopted?" Ron asked when he turned away from Harry. 'Have you ever thought about looking for your biological parents?

"Yes" Hermione answered, 'but I found out a few weeks ago from my mom, my adopted mom, that my biological parents are both dead"

"Oh, I am sorry Mione" Ron consoled her.

"That's ok" Hermione replied. 'It just would have been nice to know where I came from."

Everyone grew quiet. Hermione went back to her research and Harry watched her. He wanted to hug Hermione and tell her that everything would be ok. He wanted to tell her he loved her and that she would always have him but eh couldn't find the words. I'll tell her later, Harry thought, tomorrow is better
