Recap of chapter 5:

"I thought that you would be able to work more effectively if there wasn't a mess everywhere. I'll just wait outside until you have finished healing her. Thanks for doing this, I really appreciate it." he said. With that, Harry walked out of the room to wait with Sirius and Dumbledore.

For the next hour, Madame Promfrey healed Hermione's broken wrist, dislocated shoulder, broken fingers, her right ankle that was twisted, broken nose, her broken ribs, the scars on her face because of the vase that got smashed on her face, and her internal bleeding. (A/N: Sounds painful...I wouldn't want to ever experience what I've made Hermione go through)

"Dumbledore!" Poppy said as she rushed out of the room, done with fixing Hermione's injuries. She had found something quite strange on Hermione's twisted ankle. It was a little birthmark in the shape of a burst of energy. Normally, finding a birthmark on one of her patients wasn't a problem...it was the birthmark that she found that was the problem. It was the Black Family birthmark.

Instantly, Harry, Albus, and Sirius rushed into the room. The expected the worst. "Please let her be ok," Harry thought to himself. He opened his eyes and looked towards Hermione. She was sound asleep in her bed, with all of her injuries fixed.

"What is it Poppy?" Dumbledore asked, confused. He saw nothing wrong with Hermione now that she had sought medical attention. He looked back and forth between Hermione and Madame Promfrey.

"Look, look at this mark on her right ankle," Madame Promfrey said, before silence overtook her. Harry, Sirius, and Dumbledore nudged her aside so that they could see what Poppy was so worked up about.

Instantly, Sirius and Dumbledore gasped. Harry looked at the queerly.

"Yeah, it's Hermione's birthmark. What are you gasping at? Have you never seen one before?" he asked. Before, when Dumbledore noticed the birthmark on Hermione's ankle, the twinkle in his eye sprang back to life. Now, with Harry having been confused, it intensified. Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Yes, of course I've seen a birthmark before, smart arse. I saw yours when you were born. But the reason that we gasped was because her birthmark is the Black Family birthmark. Only a child of a Black has this type of birthmark," Sirius said. He rolled up his sleeves and showed his birthmark, which was located on his left forearm. "See. I have one too...but the bloody thing won't disappear with any type of spell of potion unfortunately." Harry's eyes widened.

"So...does that mean that Hermione is a member of the Black Family? As in your family...like, your daughter or niece or summit like that?" Harry asked. He was in awe.

"Yes Harry, but I have no bloody clue how," said Sirius.
