A/N: sorry for the late update, schools a bitch. I appreciate the two reviews I got back. I understand that it may have not made clear enough, I was going to build up on that in this chapter. If you have any advice on how I could improve on any aspect of the story that would be great. Ashley.

Herminie froze in her spot when she saw who was sitting in the heads compartment. 'Well great.' She thought to herself. Sitting across from where she stood was the git himself Draco Malfoy. She took a deep breath before she stepped into the compartment and sat down.

Hearing the door to the compartment open Draco hadn't bothered to look at who it was that stood at the door. He had a good feeling of who it would be. He just sunk deeper into his seat and continud to look out the window.

Herminie looked over at Malfoy before looking away. She thought back over the last holiday.

Flashback:

Hermione was sitting in her room reading. "Hermione dear can you please come downstairs we need to talk to you." Her mother called out to her. "Coming." Hermione called back to her mother.

Walking downstairs Hermione noticed that her parents were sitting at the table looking at a letter. Her mother looked as if she had been crying. "Mother what's wrong?" she asked sitting down next to her mother. Her mother sighed before starting. "Hermione, darling you know we love you right?" her mother said.

"Yes of course I know you do. Why are you asking me this?" Hermione asked. "What's happened?"

"Well," her farther said, "This may be hard to take in, but gosh how do I say this." He stopped again. "You are not our real daughter." Her mother finished.

"Pudern?" Hermione said, looking at her parents with shock.

"Well, when you were around the age of one we were trying to conceive, and when we were about to give up your parents had shown up. They explained what they were, what you would grow up to be and said that we had to raise you as our own." Her father said. "They wanted to protect you."

Hermione looked at the two people across from her.

"When they gave you to us they said they would come and collect you on your 18th birthday, your real birthday which was in fact last week. But they sent this letter." Hermione looked at the letter that was placed in front of her.

Dear Jane and Peter

We are sorry to inform you that if you are reading this letter, then we are long dead. We are very sorry to say that Hermione is no longer safe with you. We will send for her to be taken back to the house. We hope that everything will turn out ok. Lenna and Simon.

Hermione looked at the letter in shock she looked her 'parents' and they nod. "When is this person picking me up?" she asked. "In a couple of days." Perter said. Hermione nods and looks in her lap.

Flashback end.

Hermione sighs as the flashback ends. She looks at Malfoy and rolls her eyes before looking at her lap again, a habit she has picked up since she had found out she was a pureblood.

Malfoy looks over at Hermione and gives her the once over. Ha had to give it to her, she had changed in appearance over the holiday. He had heard that the lost daughter of the great Caillat family had been found, but he didn't expect that it was Hermione. His mother had forced him to go with her and his farther to have dinner with her on a couple of occasions during the holidays. He and Hermione decided that it would be best that the two would at least tolerate each other as they were both head boy and girl.

This is going to be an interesting year.

A/N: I made up the names of the both sets of parents, and I know that Draco may be a bit OCC.
