Chapter Seven
When I woke up on Saturday morning it was almost 11am. After showering and changing into a pair of short denim shorts and a red vest top and my usual converse, I tied my hair back into pigtails and went downstairs to have some breakfast, I was truly dreading telling everyone who I truly was, but after getting to know Narcissa and Lucius a bit, I felt slightly better about it.
After breakfast I, said goodbye to my parents who were gardening and I apparated to the Burrow. I landed just outside their wards, so I walked up to the house and gave a small knock on the door before I walked inside, to see two surprised men sat at the long table.
"Excuse me, who are you?" asked a tall red haired man I knew as Bill Weasley. "Bill, it's me Hermione," I told him and his jaw just dropped. I looked at the other man who was slightly shorter but broader, Charlie Weasley. "Hermione?" he whispered and I nodded my head, and the next thing I knew he had fallen off his seat and was mumbling 'bloody hell'.
"Where are Harry, Ron and Ginny? Did they explain to you what I have told them so far?" I asked, Charlie nodded but didn't speak, but Bill said, "they're upstairs right now with Fred and George, but they did tell us, about you being adopted, and how you would explain today." "Okay, well could you maybe round everyone up, and I can tell you together, but I'm afraid none of you will like what I have to tell you," I said, and Bill nodded and moved into the hall and shouted on everyone.
Soon enough I heard a herd of elephants running down the stairs and then Fred and George froze in the kitchen doorway, with Ginny, Harry, Ron and Mrs Weasley behind them.
"Bloody hell, is that you Mione?" Fred and George asked simultaneously. "Um, yes," I said and Ginny squealed and ran over to me and hugged me. "Merlin, you look hot," George told me and I could feel my cheeks going red. "Ah uh, thanks, I guess, now promise you all wont freak out when I tell you what is going on, and please stay quiet until I finish," I said and looked at everyone, they all nodded and sat down, and I stood at the end of the table next to Mrs Weasley.
"Right well, I don't know a better way to tell you, so I'll just tell you everything," I said and continued when Ginny gave me a reassuring smile. "Okay, well I have know since I was 11 that I was adopted, but only found out two days ago who my parents were, they were Jacob and Bellatrix LeStrange," I mumbled and looked down at the faces of the people I had grown up with for the last 7 years. "YOU TRAITOR, SHE KILLED SIRIUS," Harry screamed and stormed out of the room and I couldn't help but cringe. I looked up and saw Ron staring at me, a look of disbelief crossing his face, and then he stood up and said, "I think you should leave now". I couldn't help but burst into tears before hurriedly disapparating, not really knowing where I was headed, I was surprised to see that I was at the front door of Malfoy Manor.
