Chapter 4: The Truth

"What do you mean? I was living with strangers? How would you know?" she asked slightly shocked that he would suggest such a thing.

"Sweetheart, you're not a Granger. They weren't exactly strangers to you. I have documents of your birth record." Narcissa explained.

"Then who are my real parents?"

"You are the daughter of Sirius Black. We do not know who your mother was. You have to understand this. You know the whole story on how Sirius Black gave the Potters over to the Dark Lord?" Narcissa asked.

"Yes, I know the story. But it wasn't him who did it."

"Well, apparently, Sirius and his-I don't know if he married the girl or not-we'll just say his mistress. Sirius and his mistress had had a child. A baby girl. Now, during the birth she died leaving her newborn to Sirius. A year later he was sent to Azkaban. His daughter was therefore, homeless. He didn't tell his mother or father or anybody else. I, of course, found out over time. He told me that he named his Daughter Hermione, Hermione Jane Black. Since the Ministry of Magic had no idea that you existed, because you were born in a muggle hospital, you were given to a muggle couple and when you got your first letter from Hogwarts, you were told that you were a muggleborn. You have grown up believing that you're a muggleborn. And now that both your parents and adopted parents are dead, you can stay here. You are as a matter of fact my second cousin. You are welcome to stay here as long as needed." Narcissa explained.

"I'm your what?"

"You're my second cousin."

"And Sirius was my biological father?"

"Yes."

"And nobody knows who my mother was?"

"Well, I do know that she was a pureblood witch from another country. But other than that, no."

"And now I have to stay here?"

"Not if you want to be homeless."

"But I could go live with Ron."

"It's required that you live with your closest relatives next after your parents. That would be me. That's only because I'm your father's only cousin either living or not in Azkaban."

"Well, it's getting late. Draco, will you show Hermione to her bedroom." Lucius cut in.

"But father, she hasn't a room!"
