Chapter 3

Our Dearest Hermione:

If you're reading this right now it means that we're not with you anymore. We know that you must be going through a lot right now, but we assure you that everything will be okay. You are a very special young woman, even more so than you can imagine. If we know you as well as we think we do, you've already started asking questions about the properties and the money that seemed to have "magically" appeared. Well by now Mr. Sawyer has already told you that your father and I were wealthy and that we didn't want to spoil you, that's true but there were other reasons for not wanting you to know about the money. I think it's best if you know about all of this before you go to America and live with my sister.

We are wealthy, but that's not the important part, we're also purebloods. Yes, purebloods. We are actually from a long line of two pureblood families but we're not from England, which is why no one recognized you. We are originally from the United States, but we moved to England when the Dark Lord gained power. In the United States Lord Voldermort started gathering followers, looking through the long line of purebloods. We figured that if we were to fake our own death we could escape, and fortunately for us we were right. We took all of the money that we had inherited from our parents and made plans with our best friends to "die".

The Spungen couple were one of our dearest friends and they had a son named Adam, they wanted to provide a better life for him. Unfortuantely they died shortly before we were allowed to put our plan into action. Being the godfathers of Adam we were awarded custody of him, we executed our plan and everything went perfect. All four of us came to live here in England, but when we arrived Adam was given to a distant relative of Martha's (his mother) that unfortunately had no children. They have raised him as their own and cared for him since he was a child, and he still thinks that they are his parents. I know that this is turning into a really long letter, but you need to know the truth.

When you arrive in the US be sure to ask your aunt for the book containing our family history, that way you also know about the family. We also have many different properties in the Wizarding community. There is a small shop in Diagon Alley that is ours. It's called Cypres, you are allowed to do anything that you wish with that store. There is also a small flat in Diagon Alley that is currently being rented to a very nice couple; there's a large house in the country that is abandoned, you're welcome to move in there and live whenever you'd like after the first summer of our passing. You're allowed to live in the manor once you have learned some of our history and had a chance to interact with your aunt. The manor is filled with house elves and a caretaker, he was our original caretaker and knows everything, if you ever need anything or want to know anything ask him his name is Raymond.

There is a large account in Gringotts under your name, vault number 494 and the key is with your aunt. We love you so much and we know that you're going to make us so proud, just like you always have. This is going to be very hard for you but your life is going to change and I know that you're going to make the best of everything. You'll survive and just always remember that we love you and we're always with you in your heart. Remember that life is magical and that everything happens for a reason.

Love Always,

Mom and Dad
