(AN: What's up peeps? Here's another chappy! This one is about Hermione's beginning of summer! It won't resume from Chapter one until Chapter 3! Srry! But I hope you enjoy and pleaz read and review!)

The Beginning of Summer: Hermione

Hermione Granger was walking down the street of where she has been staying for the summer... in AMERICA! Her parents, Abby and Steven Granger, forced her to go to America with them so they could teach her other things them magic and London. They felt that if they brought her here they would be able to keep her away from the truth. But it didn't stay a secret for long. Hermione remembers the exact day she found out the truth. And to think it was only 5 1/2 weeks ago!

Flashback

Hermione walked into the door of the hotel she would be staying in for the rest of the summer. "I can't believe it! I get a HUGE hotel room all to myself! Not to mention my own mini-bar and pool sized bath tub! This is the life! OH MY GOD IS THAT A BLOODY HOT TUB!" she exclaimed as she walked into the private tanning/steam room that also had a hot tub inside.

Hermione was jumping up and down in glee. She couldn't be happier! Then a sudden sadness filled her heart. She would'nt be able to see Harry, Ron, or Ginny until she resumed in September. And it was only the beginning of June!

She mournfully walked over to her bed and fell backwards. Her bushy hair flying everywhere. "How am I going to stay sane if I can't talk to them?" she asked herself with sorrow.

She pulled herself up and walked to the bathroom and looked into the 6 foot mirror. She needed to change. No. She HAD to change. she had a nice figure but doesn't show it off! She felt like since she was going into her 7th year at Hogwarts next year she should change a little. Maybe she could get Malfoy to be nice to her if she looked good! "That is just what I'll do then!"

Hermione ran to her parents room next to hers to tell them the good news of what she decided to do! But, when she slightly opened the door she heard her parents discussing something. Something obviously about her.

Hermione strained her ear to hear them. She heard her father speak to her mother, "We need to tell her, Abby! We need to tell her now! I know we came here so we wouldn't have to tell her but we have to! She needs to know!"

"Steven! She's only 16! She won't be 17 til next month! Can't we wait til then? I mean I don't want to loose our daughter! I love her too much for that to happen! Can't we just wait a little while longer till we tell her?" Her mum was obviously crying for she sniffled a lot while talking.

Hermione couldn;t take it anymore. She banged open the door and ran inside, "Tell me what? Mum? Dad?" she looked at each one expectantly. Wishing for one of them to answer.

Neither of them made move to talk. Hermione was getting more and more agitated by the second. "OK! Enough of the silent treament; you know it doesn't work on me!"

Her mum was letting out small sobs, "Honey, what (sniff) we need (sniffle) to talk to you (sob) about it very... unreasonable I know but you need to promise me you won't be mad or hate us! We have no control over the situation!"

Hermione was now deeply confused. What did her parents have to tell her that was so terrible that they made her promise not to get angry? But Hermione jus nodded her head for them to continue talking.

Her father spoke this time, "Honey, when you were born..." he hesitated for a second then continued, "When you were born you weren't a Granger."

This hit Hermione. Hard. She hasn't been expecting this. She thought they were going to make her do something. But not this. She was breathing fairly heavy now. She knew she was going to have a heart attack any second. But she nodded her head with tears streaming down her face for them to contiune what they were gonig to say.

Her dad sighed but continued, "When you were born you were a Dumbledore. You were Professor Dumbledore's Great-Great-Grand Niece."

Now it was Hermione's turn to freak out again. She thought she was gonig to die. She was dumbledore's Niece? How could this be? She thought they were done but her 'father' continued, "Your mother was killed by Voldemort's supporters and your father... well he was just some guy looking for a one night stand. So don't think about him. He was a Pureblood wizard and your mother was a pureblood witch. Making..."

Hermione interrupted him, "Making me a pureblood and you squibs I know. I do read a lot you know! Why did you get me idf Dumbledore is my Uncle?" She was pumping with adreniline. She wanted answers. She wanted them now! She was getting so many things out in the open. Why nto all of them?

Her dad saw her anger but continued anyway, "He couldn't. He was denied to be able to adopt you. Even though we don't know why. But Dumbledore made us promise to tell you of your actual hertitage by the time you were 17. Which is next month. But we thought that if we brought you here the rest of the summer we didn't need to tell you. But obviously you know now." There was sadness in his voice.

Hermione couldn't take it. She ran otu of there crying. She ran into her room and jumped on her bed and sobbed into her pillow. She started punching her bed when her new owl, Silence, swept into the room. He got his name for he was silent when he flew around. She sat up whiping her tear-stained cheeks and pet Silence on the top of the head, "Hey, boy! Did you enjoy your flight?"

The bird pecked at her fingers effectionately and flew to his perch. She took that as a hint and put some food in a bowl for the owl. Along with a bowl of cool water. Hermione sat down at her desk and decided to write to someone about her news. So she decided she would tell the person she could trust most. Harry Potter.

She took out a quil and ink along with a foot of parchment. She began to write her letter.

She finished and tied the letter to Silence's leg and watched the owl fly off into the sunset. She shut her window and went back to the bathroom mirror. She swore to herslef to get a new look. New hair, tanned skin, stronger muscles, a better toned tummy, piercings and tattoos. She would be great. She had to be!

End of Flashback

Hermione walked down the road to the beach at the end of the hill. She did exactly what she promised herslef that she would. She had an excelently tanned body, her belly-button was pierced, her hair was white-blonde with black streaks ((straight)), her eyes we now a pinkish purple color, and she was much stronger. Over the course of summer she had gotten a modelling job in America. Posing for magazines, Muggle and Wizard alike. Even on the cover of WITCH'S WEEKLY. She wouldn't be amazed if Ron and Ginny, along with the rest of the Weasley family, saw her on it. Though they most likely wouldn't realize her. She did look extremely different.

When she arrived at the beach she stripped down to her leopard print bikini and laid out to tan a little more. While she was relaxing Silnce, brought down a letter. It was from Albus Dumbledore.

Dearest Hermione,

I have been informed that you have been told of your heritage. I am sorry that I was unable to tell you sooner then this. I was profound by law to not do so until your 17 birthday; unless your foster parents decided to tell you first. But they held it off for a long time. I was with your mother when you were born. She was like a daughter to me. I was very upset when she passed away. It was like a dagger in my heart when they denied me permission to have you live with me. I fought for years to get you back. But, I did not prevail. Since you know now of your relation to me, I would like for you to come stay with me for the remainder of the summer. I really would like to be back into your life now. If you are willing to come stay with me, write back. Your owl, Silence will know how to find me.

Your Long Lost Uncle,

Albus Dumbledore

P.S. Congradulations for becoming a model! I am very proud of you. Your mother was one once as well.

Hermione nearly cried. She had always had a connection to Dumbledore. But she never knew what it was though. She decided that she would stay with him. She really wanted to get to know the REAL Dumbledore. She put back on her clothes and ran back to her hotel room to write him a letter.

Dumbledore,

I would be happy to stay with you for the remaining 5 weeks of summer! I am really happy that your my unle and not someone else like Lucius Malfoy or something! Thank you for congradulating me. I worked hard on changing this summer. My parents have been giving me space. Since they know I am a little upset for them not telling me sooner. Please write me back as soon as you can to tell me when you can pick me up. I also know how to apparate, block the Unforgiveable Curses, an animagus, and I can do any kind of spell or potion. I should have known I was related to the most powerful Sorceror in the World! For I too am absolutely powerful. Thanks again for inviting me. -!

With Love,

Hermione Jane Dumbledore

Hermione was happy with her letter so she tied it to her owl's leg and sent him to Dumbledore. She was happy to get to spend time with her Uncle. Hermione grabbed her car keys and headed out to get a tattoo on the small of her back.

When Hermione arrived back home with a bandage on her back and shoulder blade where she just got her tattoos; there were two letters on her bed. One form Dumbledore and one from Hogwarts. She ran and grabbed the one from Dumbledore first.

Hermione,

I will be there to pick you up in three hours; at 3:30 p.m. Be sure to be packed and ready. I sent your Hogwart's letter along with this one. See you soon!

Albus Dumbledore

She jumped up and down in glee. She then grabbed her Hogwarts letter.

Miss Hermione Dumbledore,

I am pleased to inform you that you have been chosen as this years Head Girl. You and the Head Boy will be expected to set examples for the younger years. The Head boy and yourself will share living quarters and the same classes all year long. You will both plan the dances and meetings for the School Prefects and yourself. You will be required to sit at the Head table next to Professor Dumblerdore. I hope you will not abuse this privilege, even though I doubt you would. Meet the Head Boy in the Head's Compartment on the train for further instructions.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Head Mistress

and Head of Gryfindor House

Along with that was her Head Girl badge and her school supply list. She would get those later. She quickly packed her things and waited for Dumbledore to pick her up.

An Hour Later

Dumbledore apparated into the room and walked over to Hermione's sleeping form. She was so peaceful he didn't want to wake her. But he knew he should. So he shook her ever so lightly and she woke up, "Professor? Hello! Sorry I must have fallen asleep! How are you?"

He laughed at her eagerness, "Well, dear that is quite alright! Shall we go then?"

Hermione meirly smiled and took his hand while the other held her trunk. They both apparated, and Hermione shut her eyes.

When she opened them again she noticed that she was at the Burrow. She looked up at her Uncle questionly. He just smirked, "I thought you'd like to see your friends. Harry will be here shortly."

Hermione felt foolish. She had been so busy with her appearence and modeling she forgot all about Ron, Harry, and Ginny. She knew that they wouldn't recognize her. She smiled at this thought. As she realized her trunk was gone and in her room upstairs Ron, Ginny, Fred and George, and Mrs. Weasley came into the room.

Ron, Fred and George were all gawking at her with lust on there faces. Fred finally spoke, "Bloody Hell! We have a swimsuit model in our house! Is it our birthday already?" Ron was just staring and George seemed to think the same as Fred.

Mrs. Weasley wacked them both at the back of the heads, "Can't you guys tell that is Hermione? You guys need to consentrate on your brain not your hormones!" She then walked and gave Hermione a big hug.

Ron seemed surprised, "Mione? Wow! You look excelent! I can't believe it! You look so hot! Even better then those pictures!"

Mrs. Weasley looked at him disapprovingly. Hermione just laughed, "It's nice to see you too, Ronald!"

Ginny just ran up and Gave her a hug. Then she noticed the badages on her shoulder blade and back, "What are these, Mione?"

Hermione was about to answer when she saw...

((HEHE! I have to leave you on the edge again! Srry! But you'll have to live until the next chappy. Pleaz review!

Sincerely,

DracoIsMyFerret))
