Disclaimer-I own nothing but my plot and my piece of crap computer. Do not ask my anything about where I got the name they belong to J.K. Rowling and always will or I would be rich, famous, and live in England. Which none of the above is true? (Dang I really want to live in London).
Chapter 2
Her turn to be disappointedOnce Hermione awoke the next morning all of last night's dreary thoughts pasted over her head. Malfoy would not remember her. After all it was just a couple of dances and a walk outside. But she new better, Malfoy did not give up that easy. He would search a while longer. Hermione sat up in her bed and pulled the covers tightly around her. She was so sleepy. Malfoy had plagued her dreams last night.
Hermione sleepily looked over to her alarm clock. The neon yellow numbers said 04:30 am. Hermione got up and headed to the prefects bathroom to get ready. She knew at this time of morning no one would be in there, or so she thought. Hermione tucked her black duffel bag under her arm. She had never really liked the idea of leaving her stuff so that others could use it.
Hermione looked at the sign on the door. It read Girl's Bathroom: Prefects Only. Thank Merlin she did not have to share a bathroom with the boys. Then she would have to spend time with Malfoy and then he would make her life hell. Malfoy just had to be a prefect didn't he? Hermione was sure he knew, I mean how could he not. She was the only one who didn't take off her mask, wait he had not been there when most people took off their mask. He had to know. Of course he knew whom was she fooling.
She walked in the bathroom without another thought. She would not let Malfoy get the better of her. Once in the bathroom she pulled down her hair and stepped into one of the huge showers on the left. Once in the shower she stripped of her clothes and started the shower. It felt so good, it was warm and she was using her apple shampoo. It felt so relaxing.
She was in the shower for about 10 more minutes when she heard giggling. Who would be up at this time of morning, and giggling of all things? She turned the shower off and dried off with a soft white towel she had brought. Girls would always be the same, giggling and snickering. Hermione stepped out of the shower fully dressed in a pair of black board shorts and a white tank top to see Pansy standing in front of the mirror brushing her hair.
"What are you looking at Mudblood?" Pansy asked not even taking her eyes of the mirror.
"Obviously not you, wait what are you?" Hermione said grabbing her hairbrush and looking in a mirror across from Pansy.
"Oh finally able to make smart remarks now are we" Pansy said with a hint of laughter in her voice.
"No just wondering what your fat ass is laughing about, I mean I see no cake," Hermione said pulling her hair up into a bun.
"Well not that it's any business of yours but me and Drakie are going back out" Pansy said.
Without another word Pansy got up and left. Pansy's words did not leave as easily though. They stung Hermione like nothing else had. Wait why did she care, Malfoy was just another guy. She didn't care about him. No. It took Hermione a total of 10 minutes to pull herself together and with that she got up and took herself and her bag back to the Gryffindor Common room.

"Draco why are you dating Pansy, again" Blaise asked for about the 7th time that night?
"Like I said before, I met her last night and she said she was so nervous that she just didn't take the mask off" Draco replied.
Blaise and Draco were sitting in the Slytherin common room, which was deserted. They had been here ever since Pansy had left. Draco had some feeling that Pansy was not the girl, but she did know everything that had happened the night before. Blaise was in a pair of gray muggle track pants and Draco was wearing a pair of blue ones.
"Whatever man" Blaise said.
Without another word Blaise got up and reached for his robe. It was almost breakfast. Luckily it was Saturday and the classes had been canceled to give the students an extra day of winter break. Both Draco and Blaise were staying because their parents were on a "trip".
"Breakfast?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, I'm starving" Blaise said walking out the door but not before he had threw Draco's robes at him.
Both boys silently walked down to the great hall but not before meeting up with Pansy, whom when they walked into the great hall was all over Draco. Draco might have liked the attention, but Pansy was not his favorite person. He knew they were drawing all the professors' attention but he didn't care. When he looked to the staff table he saw once disapproving look, but it was from the one he had not expected. Snape.

"Serverus, are you alright" Dumbledore asked with the normal twinkle in his eyes "you got a more hateful look on your face then normal.
"Yeah its just I think we need to tell her" Snape said looking towards the students.
"Just because she is your daughter does not mean you have to tell her, it would hurt a lot wait a little longer," Dumbledore said.
The professors were sitting at the staff table and it was breakfast. It looked as if it was a funeral. All the teachers and even the head master were wearing black. Everyone was silent but listening to the conversation that Dumbledore and Snape were having. The great hall was rather loud but the teachers could hear everything that was being said.
"No, I can't wait any longer Albus" Snape said banging his hands on the table, which brought the whole hall to silence.
"Okay Serverus, I'll send for her to go to my office" Dumbledore said while getting up and leaving the great hall to find Snape's daughter.
Only moments later Snape was pacing Dumbledore's office. The portraits were looking at him awfully funny and he was muttering under his breath. He had waited 16 years to tell her that he was her father. He would have to tell her the whole story on how her mother had died in birth and he had been heart broken. How when she had finally been brought out for him to hold he could not even look at her.
It had been 16 years but the pain still irked him more than anything. He had signed the papers with Dumbledore by his side. After her mother had died he had to give her up. How could he take care of a baby by himself? So he gave her to a happy family that could not have kids. The couple had agreed that Snape should now tell her and that they would back off for a while. He had known it sounded mean but he had still asked it.
Moments later an upset looking Hermione walked in the door. With Dumbledore behind her.
"Professor, what have I done?" Hermione said looking from Snape to Dumbledore.
"Nothing Miss Granger we just have some news" Dumbledore said looking at the girl then to Snape.
"Miss Granger I'm your father and you were adopted" Snape said looking at her hopefully.
