HEy All!!! I was Going to Let you suffer until tomarrow, but I Can't be that creul. HAHAHA. Thank you to all my reviewers! I LOVE YOU LOTS!!!! By the way, there will be a sequel to this story so don't fret when it's finished. That won't be for a while though. I still haven't gotten to the climax yet. But it is on it's way!!! Well Here is Chapter nine.
Chapter 9:The Black Boxed Secrets
With Nervous fingers Hermione opened the box. It contained a small pile of papers. she
pulled them out and leafed through them. There was 2 birth certificates and a death certificate.
Also 2 pictures and a liscense. It wasa contract for the terms and agreements of having a
surrogate mother, under the name of NaKita Lorne. She was a surrogate mother? Then Who was
Hermione's real mother? And what of her father? Hermione's attention turned towards the Birth
certificates. One was under the name of Hermione Ann Granger.
'Odd, I thought I was adopted.' she thought. She looked at the other one. It was Under the
name of Hermione Sarvaunt DeLande. 'Wait, I Thought my last name was Sarvaunt? Where did DeLande
come from?" She looked at the certificate of death. It was for...Hermione Ann Granger? Hermione
was baffled. What did all this mean?
She looked at the other papers, passing the certificates to Draco. His look was much the
same. The other papers happened to be photos. One was of NaKita Lorne. She was pregnant, but
that's not what bothered Hermione. There was another woman in the picture. She was smiling and
waving and kept pointing to the stomach and then at herself. Her face was shadowed so you couldn't
tell what she looked like. The other photo was of herself. She was a baby. But you could tell.
She had Black eye's. and light pupils. Strange. Her Pupils were unusually large. She was
definatley different. Most newborns eyes are blue or a light green, but never this dark. Then
all of the sudden IT hit her. When the Vampires said that her mother was alive, they didn't mean
NaKita. they meant her real mother.
Hermion's eyes shot up at Dumbledore.
"She's Alive. I know it." Dumbledore nodded.
"I do as well. There is also a few things I need to explain." Draco listened closely.
"Well, Do you know anything about the DeLandes?" he asked. Hermione shook her head. But Draco
answered.
"They were the richest wizarding family in this century. Weren't all of them killed by
Voldemort?" He asked.
"No. There was one remaining survivor. Your father." He told Hermione. Hermione didn't
know how to react. "He hid Your mother and her best friend NaKita Lorne. From who, I don't
know." Hermione's face fell. "But she is still on the run."He concluded
"But that is all the information I can give you I'm afraid. Other than the good news of,
You are now the richest witch in the world." He said handing Hermione a key to a vault in
Gringotts.
"What?" Hermione was a little confused so Draco spoke for her.
"So, are we going to be able to get some money out? Or will they have already distributed
the fortune throughout the ministry?" Draco asked.
"No. They only do that if there are no inheritants left. But as I told you. Hermione's
father was still alive. He left his money to the child he never knew. so they'll hold it until
it is claimed. even if it never is." He said. Draco nodded in understanding.
"So she gets the money. Because her mother hasn't claimed it?" Draco asked. Dumbledore
shook his head.
"No. She could've never inherited it. Shew was a Sarvaunt. She never married Hermione's
father." He explained.
.
"So, where can I find my Father?" Hermione asked.
"In the DeLande cemetary on your estate." Dumbledore said. Hermione nodded grimly
understanding what he
meant.
"He's dead." Hermione said more to herself than anybody else. "What was his name?"
Hermione asked.
"Cael DeLande." Dumbledore said standing up. draco and Hermione followed suit. "Well.
tomarrow is your first trip to Hogsmead. You guys have that day to go claim your inheritance."
He led them to the door.
"Proffesor?"
"Yes Hermione?"
"how did my father die?"
"He was beheaded and burned. as I told you before he was a Vampire."
"If he was a vampire, shouldn't I have inherited the disease?"
"Yes, But you didn't. A Baffling case indeed." Dumbledore smiled. "Be back before
monday's classes." He added and they left.
......
Hermione went straight away, to go find Harry. He should know. Maybe they could go
together. She walked into the Gryffindor common room followed closley by Draco. The room went
silent once again, but they ignored them and continued towards the boys dormitories.
They walked in and hermione gasped. Ginny and Ron were in tears. Harry was trying hard not to
cry himself. Dean and Seamus were gone. Ginny was crying so hard she was hyperventilating. Ron
was just crying silently. Letting the tears just flow down his face. Hermione's heart broke.
"Harry," She whispered. He turned to her his eyes filled with tears. One slowly slid
down his cheek. Harry stood up and dragged Hermione over to a corner. He whispered something
in her ear. draco watched as whatever Harry told sank in. Her face went from connfusion, to
horror, to sadness, and then their was a guilty one. He walked over to her.
"Hermione? What's wrong?" He asked. She looked at him bloody tears threatening to
overflow.
