Chapter 3
Everything went by in a blur, Hermione's world started spinning and everything went black. Slowly blinking awake Hermione took in her surroundings and found that she was in the hospital wing back at Hogwarts.
"What happened?"she wondered aloud.
You received some unsettling news and fainted Miss Granger, came from beside her.
"Professor McGonagall?" She asked.
The professor went on to say that in light of the news she received that her uncle Lord Regulus Black was contacted, as he was her closest next of kin, and would be arriving shortly to come meet her.
Her uncle? Wasn't he a death eater, surely they didn't think he should be around her did they? She voiced her confusion to Professor McGonagall, to which she was told that not all was as it seemed and she would have to ask her uncle. She was then told she was to remain in the hospital wing to wait for him, as it would be the best place for them to meet incase Hermione would require a calming drought.
Lord Regulus Black was very confused when he was summoned to Hogwarts, only being told that there was a matter that required his attention. He soon arrived at the gate having apparated directly there, he was surprised to find his friend Severus Snape waiting for him. Something must be terribly wrong if the sent you to meet me old friend, tell me what it is that required my attention? "The matter would be better discussed once we get to the hospital wing I'm afraid," replied Severus. Arriving at the hospital wing he found himself shocked, sitting propped up by pillows in the furthest bed from the door was a girl the spitting image of his older sister Titania.
"Titania?," Regulus called out in confusion.
I'm sorry my name is Hermione, Titania was my mother answered the girl. It took him a few moments to process what she had said but he finally caught that she had said Titania was her mother's name. What do you mean that was your mother's name he asked Hermione.
Seeing that Miss Granger was struggling to answer and had started to cry silently, Severus told Regulus what happened earlier that night, including what they had discovered of Hermione's lineage.
Shocked to learn that Hermione was his niece and that his sister hadn't died all those years ago like he thought, that she had instead been living as a muggle all these years. He couldn't help but feel angry, sad and a little bit lost at the situation. He was now expected to take in his sister's daughter in and raise her, not that that was a hardship, he was glad to have a piece of his sister but that didn't mean he wasn't scared. What if she hated him? Could he raise her and not totally screw things up? It was times like these he wished that he wasn't totally alone, he was the youngest of the three, everything shouldn't fall to him. He hated that his brother wasn't here to help him, but Sirius was in Azkaban for crimes he still didn't believe his brother ever committed.
Realizing he still hadn't said a word he quickly fixed that, "if I could have a moment alone with my niece please", he spoke into the room. Minerva McGonagall started to protest but Hermione stated that she would like to speak to him alone as well.
