Three Big Surprises-part 2
Hermione was eager to hear the rest of the story when she heard a knock on the window.
"It's Mia, the owl I talked my parentals into getting so we could communicate with eachother during the school year.I wonder what they want so early in the school year." She walked over to the owl that was sitting ever so patiantly on the windowsill and tool the letter it was carrying. She gave it a small treat for on it's way home. She opened the letter and started reading out loud.
"Our Dearest Hermione,
We have some wonderful but yet not so wonderful news,"
KNOCK,KNOCK,KNOCK! "I'll get it" Draco ran over to the door and was dumbstruck and turned to Hermione as she kept readingwithout any notice to someone being at the door.
"It turns out you're not an only child after all. haha, thats the great news. Your new brother, who happens to be your twin by the way, is going to live with you in your dorm. He has not yet been placed. He will be placed into a house after one week of attending Hogwarts. I trust you and that Draco kid will be nice to him and introduce him to all of your friends. Now for the not so good news. We have kind of been lying to you for the past 17 years. (As you noticed with us telling you that you have a twin brother.) Who you beleive to be your father is not at all. Its something like Veldomart or somthing like that. Um..sorry. Hope to hear from you soon. Toodles.
Your mother
P.S. Your father killed your x-father."
"Voldemort is my father? oh no...my father killed draco and harry's parents!" She ran up the five steps that led up to her own room and slammed the door. She put as many spells on it as possible so that nobody could run in on her as she was thinking this over. She sat down in front of the door so she could hear what was going on outside.
Draco was staring at her so intently as she read the letter from her mother. He didn't know what to think when she finished. Then when she sad all that stuff about how her father killed his and Harry's parents, he just couldn't take it. He turned to run to the only person he knew would listen, but knocked into a boy about Hermiones size and almost knocked him over.
"Hi, I'm Aaron, I guess you just heard about me, I'm here to meet my sister, but I don't think she really wants to meet me right now by the looks of it." Aaron was totally confused. He had lived in foster homes his whole life. Just yesterday he found out he was a wizard and theat his parents didn't really die. He had the most confused look on his face that Draco couldn't help but feel bad for him.
"Um...why don't you come sit down. I think we need to talk. O.k. From the looks of it, you don't know a thing about what is going on. I really don't think your sister is mad at you, I think it's more that she is trying to take it all in. wish I could tell you more, but right now, I need to take it all in too. Just relax and think things over. Um...here is your sisters favorite book, Hogwarts, A History, you can learn a few things about the school that you're about to start." With that Draco went to Hermione's door and was about to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He walked to the door leading out of the dormitory and walked out, heading to the only person who he thought could help, and trust.
Aaron sat on the couch reading for about an hour before he finally decided to explore. He walked into the kitchen, then the bathroom. He heard something crying and searched for it. He found the crying baby girl in the nursery and went t pick it up but noticed someone beat him to it. He just stood and watched as his sister softly held the tiny baby and softly sang a beautiful song to her. Was this his neice? Was he an uncle? He wasn't for sure but he figured so.
"ugg-umm" Hermione turned around to look at her new brother, "Is that by chnace my neice?"
"What? No, this is draco's sister. He is taking care of her because Voldemort, I mean, our father, killed his parents. I'm Hermione by the way. Sorry I ran out on you earlier. I was confused. I don't usually break down like that. It's just, my life was so nice, then I received that letter from my mother, I'm sorry, our mother, and I just cracked. I'm truely sorry."
"He must really be a bad person then huh?"
"yeah, he is. but, untill now, I always thought our mother was a wonderful person. Look, I have to go talk to some people and tell them ahat has happened, you can come with me if you like."
"Sure, I've only seen a small portion of this place anyway."
Hermione changed the baby's diaper before she put nicer clothes on it. She knew she couldn't leave it alone. She had to take it with her. They just opened the door and stepped out when Hermione turned and ran into the blond hair blue eyed boy she was hoping she was going to avoid.
"Hi Malfoy." She noticed she called him by his last name.
"So we're back to that, huh? O.k...Granger, if thats how you feel. Just know, I'm not mad at you, I'm more worried than anything. Confused too. But not mad."He just pushed her slighly and stepped into the roomand went to the nursery. His sister wasn't there. Hermione must have taken her for a walk. He walked out of the room and noticed another letter sitting on the table under a candle in the middle of the living room. It was addressed to Aaron and Hermione Riddle. He grimiced at the sight of the last name. Knowing nothing on earth would keep him from calling her a Granger. It just fit so much better. He at first decided to leave it alone. But curiosity got the better of him. He slowley started to open it, but was stopped when he heard someone opening the door. It was Hermione coming inside. She saw Draco was holding a letter.
"Dra..I mean, Malfoy, What is that?"
"It's a letter from my father, do you have a problem with that. He is checking up on me. Now mind your own buisness."
"But your father is dead."
Draco wanted anything but for her to see her former last name absent from this letter. He could not let her see it. But how could he keep it from her? He suddenly knew what he had to do.
"Thanks for reminding me mudblood," Is she even a mudblood now?"Thats exactly what I needed to be reminded of, your deranged father and how he ruined my life!" Hermione looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes. How could he say that? What was he hiding? Suddenly she went from being hurt to being angry. She handed the baby girl to Draco and turned on her heel and walked out the door. Again, Draco could have sworn he saw flames. He didn't care at the moment. He hurt Hermione and knew he couldn't run and apologize. He, under no circumstances, could not let her get to this letter until he looked at it himself. He slowly opened the letter starting to read it.
Almost crying as he read it.
A/N- mwaa haha, I do beleive I'm getting better at this whole cliff hanger thingy. Hope you liked it, R&R. PLEASE! It's what makes my story better. By the way, are there any questions brewing in your head. Such as, Why did Hermione start crying so quickly in the second chappie? What was in that letter that Draco was reading? What is up with Draco seeing fire? AND VOLDEMORT IS HERMIONE'S FATHER!
