Harry asked Remus and McGonagall to be there when he told Hermione. Remus suggested they also let Ron come as moral support. They decided to wait a few days to tell her, giving Harry some time to come to terms himself.
Snape's trial came and went. Due to new evidence Snape was found not guilty and released from Azkaban. He didn't come back to the Order and Harry was grateful for that. Snape may have been innocent but Harry still hated him and blamed him for the death of Dumbledore.
One night after an Order meeting Harry decided it was time to tell Hermione about her biological parents.
"Ok" Hermione said after the Order members had cleared out of the room, "Why did you want Ron and I to stay?"
"Have a seat Hermione" McGonagall suggested. Hermione seemed surprised at the gentle tone of her voice but took a seat at the kitchen table.
"Hermione" Harry started, 'we asked you to stay because we found out something about your biological parents. We thought having Ron here would make you mire comfortable"
"Were my biological parents wizards?" Hermione asked.
"Yes" Harry replied. He looked away for a moment gathering his courage; He took a deep breath and decided just to spit it out quickly. "Hermione, your father was James Potter, my dad. You are my sister"
Hermione smiled even though her eyes were tearing up, 'I am your sister" she asked and Harry nodded. Hermione laughed and threw her arms around his neck, "Then I can finally say this without anyone spreading rumors. I love you"
Harry laughed in spite of himself and hugged her back. " I love you too" He assured her, "But please have a seat because there is more"
Hermione looked nervous but did as her brother asked. Harry hesitated, wondering how Hermione would feel when she knew. "Hermione your mother was…" Harry trailed off; he looked to Remus for help. Remus just gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze.
"Harry" hermione prompted, "Tell me your making me nervous"
"Hermione" Harry started again, "your mother was Bellatrix Lastrange"
"No" Ron cried, "That's impossible"
"Hermione, are you ok?" Harry asked, ignoring Ron's outburst and focusing on his silent sister. Slowly tears started to stream down Hermione's face. Wordlessly she jumped to her feet and headed for the door.
"Hermione" Ron cried as they chased after her. "Hermione" he cried again as they reached the sidewalk and realized she was gone.
"This is bad" Harry said, "We have to find her, come on"
"My lord" Narcissa Malfoy purred as she kneeled to her master, "We have found the girl. We know who she is now"
"Who is she?" lord Voldemort hissed, "Where is she?"
"Her name was changed to Hermione Granger" Narcissa replied, 'the one we all assumed was a mudblood. She's not she is the long lost daughter of Bellatrix."
"Bring her to me" Lord Voldemort ordered and waived Narcissa away.
Hermione as shivering as she wondered the streets of London. She knew everyone was worried and she should at least let them know she was ok. She needed time to think to sort out her feelings. The most horrible death eater of all spawned her that was a bitter pill to swallow. Harry being her brother was the only bright spot. Harry always felt like a brother and now she could love him like one without suspicion of romantic over tones.
"I can deal with this" Hermione said out loud. "I can deal with this, Bellatrix is dead so I can focus on Harry and accept that she is my mother without having to be apart of her life" Hermione turned around and headed for Grimmauld Place, just as the house came into view Hermione heard the sound of someone apparating behind her. She reached for her wand and to horror found it wasn't there.
"Morgan" someone called from behind her. Hermione turned around and came face to face with Narcissa.
"Excuse me" hermione snapped, "I think you have me confused with someone else." Just as Hermione began a sprint to headquarters Narcissa pulled her wand and shouted,
"Stupefy"
Hermione fell to the ground in a heap and blacked out. Narcissa levitated her niece and disapparated with the young woman thrown over her shoulder.
