A/N: thanks guys, I got a few more reviews…but sadly, only a few. Aw well, I can live with it. Here's the next chapter, everyone finds out about Hermione, well Luciana but you know what I mean – it's exciting stuff!

As soon as Hermione laid down in bed, she fell into a restless sleep, having strange dreams and for some reason, every one of them involved her being saved from a terrible fate, by none other than Draco Malfoy.

Chapter Six: Reactions

Hermione woke up early the next day. She was a little confused about her dreams last night but than she remembered that she was going to see Ginny, Harry and Ron today and all other throughts were swept out of her mind.

After showering and applying make up, Hermione got dressed. She wore a pink spaghetti strap shirt with jean shorts and flip-flops. Smiling at her reflection, Hermione went downstairs to eat a quick breakfast before heading to the burrow.

Twenty minutes later, Hermione apparated and landed in the Weasley's front yard. Taking a deep breath, she started making her way to the front door. Hermione hesitated before knocking, but knew that her friends would find out soon enough.

It was Harry who opened the door and from the blank look on his face, he didn't recognize who was standing in front of him.

"Um, may I help you?" Harry asked, staring at the gorgeous girl in front of him.

Hermione could not help but chuckle and smack Harry on the arm. "I am ashamed of you Harry," Hermione told him smiling, "I know I look different but honestly, having black hair doesn't make me that different, does it?"

Harry gave Hermione a look that suggested that she was mental but in a few moments, he tackled her to the ground giving her a suffocating hug.

"Harry…need…air," gasped Hermione.

Harry pulled back giving her a sheepish smile. "C'mon, Ron and Ginny are dying to see you." With that, Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and led her to the kitchen where all of the Weasleys were having breakfast.

Harry cleared his throat to get his attention and everyone turned to look at him. Both of the twins looked Hermione up and down, very happy that Harry had brought them something nice to look at while Ron stared openly at the transformed Hermione.

Hermione couldn't help blushing and murmured, "I really didn't think I looked that different."

Ginny was the first one to jump up and hug Hermione. She squeezed tightly and Hermione squeezed back.

Finally letting go, Ginny said, "I love the new look, Mione. You are totally HOT!"

Hermione turned a deep shade of scarlet causing Ginny to giggle but before she could reply Ron gave her a huge hug.

"Ron, air…needed…to…live," Hermione was able to choke out. Ron turned a dark shade of red that rivaled his hair and mumbled something about just being excited to see her.

Ginny grinned, fully aware of her brother's crush on her best friend and said, "Honestly Ron. So, what's the big news 'Mione?"

Hermione cleared her throat and said, "Well, during the summer I found out that I was adopted," Ron and Harry had puzzled looks on their faces and Ginny let out a small gasp. "Apparently, my real parents were ordered by Voldemort to give me up as a baby and they found out who I was yesterday because of a spell." The entire Weasley family and Harry just stared at her as she examined the floor.

It was George who spoke up first, "So Herms, do you know who your real parents are?"

Hermione blushed and replied, "Um…yeah I do. My real name is Luciana Amadora…Zabini. Blaise Zabini is my twin brother."

Hermione finally looked up from the floor and saw Harry, Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley all staring at her with their mouths hanging open. Hermione was really afraid that they hated her and she started to get tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ginny came out of her trance and gave Hermione a quick hug. "Mione, why don't we go for a walk," Ginny offered.

Hermione gave her friend a grateful smile and quickly followed her outside.

"So, your parents are deatheaters?" Ginny asked.

Hermione nodded, "Yeah, I even had the, pleasure, of meeting Voldemort myself."

Ginny gasped and demanded Hermione to tell her what happened. "I was playing truth or dare with Blaise and Draco, and we decided to go into the kitchen to get a snack. When we got there, my parents were sitting at the table with Voldemort, probably talking about me. Voldemort checked me out and told me that he wanted to see a lot more of me," Hermione and Ginny both shuddered, "And he left, thank god."

Ginny gave Hermione an sympathetic look. "Wow Mione, that's got to suck," Ginny froze as a thought occurred to her. "Wait, did you say Draco?"

Hermione recapped everything that happened yesterday (including truth or dare and Blaise and Draco not being death eaters).

"You sure had a full day yesterday," Ginny told Hermione. "Is Draco Malfoy really an amazing kisser?"

Hermione blushed and mumbled something along the lines of, "yeah…it was very good."

Ginny laughed at her friend and smiled slyly.

"Hey Gin," Hermione asked, "Since me and Blaise are turning seventeen next week, there's going to be a huge ball on our birthday. I think I'm going to be reintroduced to the wizarding world or something like that. Would you come, please? I need the support."

Ginny's face lit up as she said, "Hell yeah I'll go!"

Hermione grinned at her friends response and said, "Just don't tell Harry and Ron, Blaise warned me that my parents are very high in the ranks of Voldemort so there's no way I'd be able to bring two Weasleys and the-boy-who-refused-to-die-and-decided-to-kick-Voldemort's-ass-everytime-he-saw-him, but I think I'll be able to slide with bringing you."

Ginny nodded and gave Hermione a thoughtful look. "You wanna see if everyone else has calmed down?" Ginny asked.

Hermione hesitantly nodded and the two girls made their way to the kitchen.

When Hermione and Ginny entered, it seemed like everyone was back to normal. Harry smiled at his friend and said, "We really missed you Herms, and you have no idea how nice it is to see a change of hair color."

Hermione grinned and started laughing and joking with her three best friends. Everything went back to the way it was before she learned about her heritage and Hermione was extremely grateful to have some normalcy back in her life.

Just then, Hermione remembered that her mother said that she could bring her friends over to her house to show them around. "Hey guys, my parents said that it would be ok for me to bring you guys over, we have a pool and Quidditch pitch and everything," Hermione suggested.

Everyone's eyes widened as Hermione said this and quickly agreed. Harry, Ron and Ginny followed Hermione over to the fireplace and they all flooed to Hermione's room in Zabini manor.

The three of them stared at the massive size of Hermione's room.

"Wow Hermione, I never knew that the Zabini's were this rich," Ron said in total amazement. "We have to come here more often. I bet this place is even bigger than Malfoy's!"

Hermione chuckled and was about to reply but was beaten to it.

"Actually Weasley, my family's manor is considerably larger than Mora's here."

The four teenagers spun around quickly to see Blaise standing in the doorway with Draco Malfoy.

Knowing that Ron was about to verbally attack Malfoy, Hermione quickly said, "Hey Draco, what are you doing here so early?"

Ron and Harry were stunned to see Hermione act civilly with Malfoy. Ginny on the other hand, already knew that Hermione and Draco were on a first name basis.

"Well Mora, my parents are away so I'm staying here for the rest of the summer."

A/N: I'm getting pretty fast at updating my stories, but that's probably because today is Saturday…I love Saturdays…
