Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Once again I apologize for any bad grammar or misspellings and the irregular updates. My teachers seem to love to give me projects and hours of homework. Please review to let me know where I should take the story. I also hope to make the chapters a bit longer as time goes on.

Hermione looked at Theodore in shock. He couldn't actually be serious. She was a supposed mudblood! She was a Gryffindor! She was a know-it-all! Rich Pureblood Theodore Nott wouldn't want to help the Gryffindor know-it-all mudblood!

"Well, are you going to enlighten me?" Theodore asked.

Hermione stuttered out," Why would you want hear me rant about my problems? Surely you have enough of your own."

" Au contraire, Hermione. My life is great. Something in my gut tells me I need to hear this problem of yours. If it is something personal, then we can talk outside. I happen to know a secluded spot out on the grounds," Theodore said.

"Fine, but you can't report back to your cronies about this," Hermione relented.

" Fine. Deal. Now follow me," Theo told her as he began to briskly walk out of the library, leaving Hermione jogging along behind him trying to keep up with his pace.

Hermione didn't realize where they were until she ran right into the back of Theodore, causing them both to topple to the ground. " Sorry, Theodore!" Hermione quickly apologized.

" Don't worry about it. And call me Theo," Theo smiled to Hermione.

" Then call me Hermione. I am about to tell you my biggest secret, after all." Hermione chuckled out.

" Alright, so what's the big secrect? Surely it isn't that bad," The said.

Taking a deep breath, Hermione explained," Okay, here it goes. Last night I was in the library when I fell asleep. I don't know for how long, but I woke up when the library door slammed. I jumped out of my seat and packed my things. Just as I was about to go to leave, I heard footsteps. Two sets. I dove under the table and listened as they talked just in front of my table. Dumbledore was talking to Pince. He said that I'm not really a muggleborn. He told her that my parents were Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange."
