Chapter 3:

"FUCK" Draco threw down the tenth book on parentage that he had been looking at. He had been sitting in the library for hours and still hadn't found anything that would help him find out who his other father was. He banged his head down on the table and wanted to just cry.

"Do you need help?" Draco jumped from his seat and saw a head with bushy brown hair looking down at him.

"Um." He didn't know why this girl was talking to him, but he saw a sliver of hope with being nice to her. "Granger…I don't know if you could help me." He said looking at the books around him.

"Parentage? Why would you be looking up this stuff?" She asked as she took a seat across from him.

"I need to find other family members. I can't get into details but its important." He replied as he flipped threw some pages of the book in front of him.

"Well maybe I can help, I'll be right back." Hermione stood up and walked behind one of the stacks, coming back a few minutes later with a large book in her hands.

"I looked into my parentage awhile back. I didn't believe that no one in my family had magic, I actually found out generations go, on my fathers side, there was a witch." She smiled brightly at him, making his jaw drop.

"Wow. Alright what do I have to do?" He asked watching her flip the pages to what she needed, sliding the book in front of him.

"Alright. Need blood from me and at least one other member of my family, great. Then place the drops on a blank parchment and recite the spell. Well I can't use that one." He said not realizing it.

"What do you mean, you can use blood from either your mother or father. Which ever side of the family you wanted." Hermione looked at him and made him sink into his chair.

"You know your smarter than that. And I know if I don't tell you that you will figure it out on your own. I need you to make a vow not to tell anyone what I tell you, please." He stuck out his wand and waited for her to stick out her hand. Once the vow was made he sat back and thought about how much he wanted to tell her.

"Well I can't use their blood because they are not my parents. I'm not telling you who, just know I only know one of their names and am trying to find out the other one. So I need something that will help me with out knowing who I'm looking for." He saw Hermione nod rush back over to the stacks, coming back with another book.

"Here try this. It shows the whole family tree when you are done. Kind of like a family tapestry. Hey why haven't you ever looked at that for the one you know of." His head snapped up and looked at her and before he could even think of what he was doing he threw his arms around her and hugged her.

"Oh sorry. Thank you that is a brilliant idea. Why are you being nice to me anyway?" He asked.

"Well I heard what you said to Harry on the train, about wanting to be friends with him in first year. I listened to him with Ron and the guys later on and figured that it was not all your fault for how you act towards us. I would like to be your friend, if you would like." Draco looked at her for a moment and then around the room to make sure no one was going to jump out at him.

"Sure, thanks again. I need to go find that tapestry." Draco ran out of the library and to find his god-father once again. He was glad that the first couple days of school were free time so the first years could get used to the school.

"Sev…Sev." He called out of breath as he ran into his god-fathers rooms with out knocking. " I need. Oh hello." Draco stopped short of saying what he needed when he saw another man standing in the room.

"Draco this is Sirius Black, your cousin on your mothers side." Severus looked over at him with wide eyes.

"Hi. Could I talk to you for a moment Uncle?" Draco asked feeling a little nervous around the other guy. Severus walked Draco to the back of the room and listened to what he needed.

"I don't know.."

"Did you just say you needed James Potter's family tapestry? Why would you need that?" Draco looked up and scowled at the other man in the room, noticing that he was a lot closer now.

"Why the hell are you listening in to our conversation. I don't care if you are my cousin or not I don't know you." Draco said crossing his arms.

"Well I know where to find the tapestry, but if you don't want my help then.." Sirius started to walk away but Draco quickly grabbed a hold of his arm.

"Where is it?"

"Why do you need it? Your not family?" Sirius looked down at his hand and Draco quickly let go.

"You not his family either so…" Sirius laughed at him and motioned for him to follow. Draco pleaded silently with Severus to come with them and the man reluctantly agreed.

Almost an hour later and several apperations, they were finally outside a large family estate. Draco looked around on the outside of the building and felt his heart constrict. This was his family's estate, his true family. He felt like he was going to be sick as he followed the other two men into the house.

"Well the tapestry is in that room, thought you might want to go in and look by yourself. I need to talk to Severus here alone anyway." Draco didn't like the sound of that but when he saw his god-father nod his head he proceeded into the room.

He stood there for awhile looking over the names on the tapestry and followed the lines down to James. He kept his eyes on the other man, not really sure if he was ready to see where the lines coming from him lead to. As he scanned down one line he found a picture of himself, proving that he was indeed James Potter's son.

Seeing it and not just hearing it made him have to kneel down on the floor. The world was spinning and he didn't know what to do. After several moments he stood back up and looked back to his picture, slowly following the line to his other father.

It took a moment to be able to see the name, he figured there was a spell on it just like the one at his house. The spell only let certain people see the picture of the person on the tapestry, that must be how no one knew he was James' real son.

When the face started to come into focus he felt his knees give way again. He stood there staring at the picture, trying to figure out what the hell he was going to do. The door flew open a moment later and he barley saw who it was.

"Draco…Draco are you alright."

"No..No." He saw Severus look up at the wall and back to him.

"Who do you see Draco?"
