Tobias Potter: Thanks for your review! In the beginning Ms. Nelson explains to Hermione that her parents died in around the time of the Great War. The Dark Lord had lost. So Harry doesn't need to worry about anything really anymore. As for Pansy, I know that she hates Gryffindors, but I hate how she's like that so I decided to make her nice : ). She can still be the same old slapper (slut) but a nice one. I guess this is more of an AU fic then with a very out of character Pansy.

Note: Yadda yadda the previous chapters were titled Because Now, I'm a Pureblood and it's really Because Now, I Am A Pureblood but it's a minor issue. Get over it.

Because Now, I Am A Pureblood

Chapter 3: Guess who's Head Girl?

The sun shining through the window woke me up. I yawned and went to my en-suite and cleaned my teeth. One of the house elves brought up my breakfast so I could eat in my room. Ron and his family and Harry were supposed to come today at noon. If I were in my old house, I would be cleaning everything right now. But here, everything is already immaculate. So I guess I just sit around and wait for them. Or I can feed Chanson.

I went out to the backyard and fed Chanson and played with her for a while. Eventually, she got tired and went to her cage to sleep. I locked it and headed inside. Something struck me…I still haven't explored my whole house yet. This could take me ages to look around every room and my friends were coming soon. One door upstairs, though, looked interesting. I opened it and it was like heaven. A humongous library filled with books! And it's all mine! No need to go to the library anymore. It would take me years to read all of these books, no matter how fast I read. But I started on one anyways. It didn't have a title on the cover, or the inside.

"That's strange," I muttered. Looking through the beginning pages which were blank, I found the title.

Clarise Kingsford's Diary

Whoops. This wasn't a book. I considered closing it, not wanting to invade her personal space, but this was a great chance to finally know my mother.

October 24

The Dark Lord is very mad. Marcus, my husband, has not completed the task of killing a mudblood who works at the Ministry. The Dark Lord hit Marcus with Crucio. The sight of my husband was unbearable. I could not cry, for the Dark Lord would put it on me as well. He then put Marcus on the Imperius curse and made him kill the mudblood. Later, after the task was complete, The Dark Lord killed my

I closed the diary. I didn't expect to read that. I opened it back up and flipped through the pages. All the diary entries had either the words, 'death', 'the Dark Lord', 'kill', and 'pureblood'. Wow, my mother's life was very…dark. Considering she worked for Voldemort. It's rather selfish to say this, but I wish my real parents were alive so I could meet them. Maybe I had seen them when I was side by side with Ron, killing the Death Eaters while Harry dueled with Voldemort. Oh no, maybe I killed my own parents! Now I'm going to have to live with knowing that I might have. I told myself that it wasn't my fault, I didn't know who they were and I didn't know I was their kid.

I heard someone floo in. I think it's Harry and the crew and it sounds like they're in the living room.

"Hermione!" I heard Ginny yell.

It takes me a while to put the diary back in it's place, get out of the library, run down the hall, and dash down the stairs.

Everyone starts greeting me and giving me hugs.

"Wow, Hermione, your parents were loaded," Fred says.

"Would you guys like something to eat?" I ask them. They all nod and I clap my hands three times. A house elf appears and I tell it to make some biscuits and tea. It nods and snaps it's fingers, disappearing. I think it's happy that I don't yell at it. I didn't even get to ask what it's name was. I don't even know if it's a he or she.

"So, Hermione, tell us the whole story," Mrs. Weasley tells me. "Our family hasn't heard the whole thing yet."

"Harry you didn't tell them yourself?" I ask him.

"No," he responds, "I was too lazy." I hit him playfully on the arm. Harry? Lazy? I thought I'd never see the day.

So I told them about my parents, how I was abandoned, how my parents were Death Eaters, how they died, and the whole situation.

"So what is your full name?" Mr. Weasley asks me.

"Hermione Jane Clarise Kingsford."

"At least it's not a mouthful like that Camilla women who works at the Ministry," Mr. Weasley told me.

The visit was nice, and I showed them around the house. When we were getting ready to leave for Hogsmeade to shop for school supplies, there was a rapping on the window. I let the owl in and took the letter.

"What is it Hermione?" they all asked.

It had the letters HG and I opened it. It was from Hogwarts and…I made Head Girl!

"I'm the Head Girl!" I told them.

"Whoo. Shocker there," George said.

"George," his mother scolded him.

"That's wonderful!" Ginny exclaimed.

We floo-ed over to Hogsmeade and had an excellent time shopping around. After all of the shopping, we ate dinner at the Three Broomsticks.

"I wonder what Malfoy is going to say when he finds out you're a pureblood," Ron said, mouth stuffed with pumpkin pie.

"He already knows," I told Ron.

"What?" Harry said, confused.

"He and Pansy came over yesterday to feed my parent's pet dragon, Chanson." They looked at me. "Oh, you guys should meet him someday, she's really nice. Anyways, they asked what I was doing in the house and I told them I was a Kingsford."

"So how did Malfoy react?" Harry asked.

"He was stunned. And he didn't say much to me after. He did call me a mudblood earlier, but I made him apologise."

"That annoying git."

We all went home our separate ways. We needed to go to Platform ¾ tomorrow so at least I could see them again.

"Harry! Ron! Ginny! Over here!" I yelled. All of my luggages were boarded and Ms. Nelson gave me a stack of money.

"Your monthly allowance," She told me.

Ginny, Ron, Harry, and I picked a compartment. We ate droobles and chocolate frogs while telling about our summer. Harry said that the Dursleys were the same even after they knew Voldemort was gone, courtesy of Harry. Ron got his first kiss—from Parvati. It turns out she was dared to do it so when she saw Ron at one of his Hogsmeade trips, she did it there.

"Aw, poor Ron," I said. He blushed.

"I uh…didn't really care too much," he muttered. We all knew he was embarrassed by it though.

Ginny sighed. "Nothing exciting has really happened to me this summer."

Ron scoffed, "Yeah right. Getting caught almost shagging Dean wasn't exciting?"

"Hey, I didn't know anyone was with us. At least Mom and Dad didn't find me. It was only you and Fred."

"Oh man, you should've seen the look on her face when she saw us," Ron said to me and Harry. He imitated Ginny's look and Ginny hit him in the back of his head.

"Owww! What was that for?"

"You know damn well what that was for."

Once we got to Hogwarts and got our bags, I went to the Head's room. It was beautiful and spacious.

"So Grang—Kingsford," I heard a voice behind me.

"Malfoy. I can't believe this. YOU are the Head Boy?"

A/N: So how will Hermione cope with Draco as the Head Boy? I promise these later chapters are going to be exciting so please keep reading! I'm going to post chapter 4 later tonight because I'm working on it now.
