Pure Mudblood

A/N Hey again everyone! Hope you like this chapter. It's got a bit of a twist. Also it's really long! Sorry if you don't like really long chapters. Also just to clarify everything Dumbledore is obviously not dead. Professor Slughorn never told Tom Riddle about the Horcrux's so he never made them. Everything did happen in the 4th and 5th book but the whole of the sixth book was basically erased. 6th and 7th year at Hogwarts were the only normal years for Harry, Ron and Hermione.Sorry for taking so long to update.Thanks again to all my reviewers! I love you so much! Well on with chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 16: Birthday Surprises And A Car

It had been one week since Hermione had left Hogwarts. She was still a bit unsettled about leaving but she was looking forward to her 18th birthday in a couple of days. (A/N I don't know what Hermione's birth date is so it's just going to be now)

She wasn't having a big party she was just having a small dinner with her family. She would be going to visit Ron and Harry at the Burrow in a couple of weeks but until then Hermione would be sitting at home alone apart from her family.

A couple of days ago Hermione had gotten her drivers license. Not that she was going to need it seeing as she could apparate.

Hermione felt strange waking up in her room instead of the Hogwarts dormitory. She missed seeing Lavender and Parvarti go crazy over a tiny smudge of mascara they'd fucked up.

She missed having breakfast with Harry and Ron and hanging out with Ginny. She remembered in fourth year how jealous she'd been of Ron liking Fleur.

But she had to admit it was funny watching him snort into his drink every time she walked past.

Her NEWT results would be coming in a couple of months. Hermione had a good feeling she had scraped though.

On Hermione's 18th birthday she awoke to the sound that she was usually not happy to hear. An owl was tapping at her window. Well it wasn't really one owl it was more like 6 owls.

Hermione, to her surprise, laughed and flung open the window. The owls swarmed in and sat on her bed.

Crookshanks looked up surprised at the sudden movement in the room. He got up and hid behind a box in the room ready to pounce on the nearest owl.

Just as he was about to make his kill Hermione picked him up. Crookshanks face looked more squashed than usual. Hermione gave him a hug then put him outside her room. Hermione went back to the owls.

She removed the parcel off the nearest owl. It was from Hagrid! The writing was barely readable.

Dear Hermione,

Hope you are having a great Birthday! Enjoy life without a job while you can! See you soon.

Love Hagrid

Hermione smiled and opened the parcel. Her smile quickly disappeared as she stared down at the dozen rock cakes in parcel. Hermione set them aside and reached for the next parcel that was attached to Hedwig's leg.

Dear Hermione.

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day! See you at the Burrow in a couple of weeks. I heard you got your drivers licence! Congrats! Things are going great here at number 12 Grimmauld Place. Tonks, Lupin and everyone else are down here helping me clean this place up. Oh and Tonks says Happy Birthday!

From Harry

Hermione placed the card down and reached for the parcel. There was number of small packages in the box. She picked up one. In scrawled writing on the wrapping paper it said; Love From Tonks.

Hermione smiled and tore of the wrapping paper. It was a small crystal ball on a decorative silver stand.

Why would Tonks get me this? She knows I hate Divination. But I guess it's the thought that counts.

Hermione looked puzzled and stared into the crystal ball. A blurry face started to appear. It was Tonks! Tonks looked better than she had for years. Her bright purple hair could be seen clearly through the crystal ball. Tonks smiled.

"Hey Hermione! This is a conversation crystal ball! Kind of like those muggle things what do you call them? Waklie Takles? Anyway Ron has one and Harry has one and the whole Order has one so when you need to talk to someone you just stare into the crystal ball and say their name! The other persons ball will turn bright purple signalling that they have an incoming message from whoever!" said Tonks excitedly.

"Great idea! Oh and its walkie-talkies!" said Hermione laughing. Tonks gave a puzzled frown but then broke into another grin.

"Well I've got to go! Happy Birthday!"

Hermione waved into the crystal ball and Tonks image started to fade until it was completely gone. Hermione reached for the next package in the box. It was from Fred and George. They must be down there with Harry helping clean up.

Not to Hermione's surprise Fred and George had given her some of their joke shop merchandize. Inside the parcel were a poster, a couple of edible Dark Marks and a pink Pygmy Puff. Hermione smiled and opened the poster.

Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who?

You SHOULD Be Worrying About

U-NO-POO-

the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping The Nation!

Hermione laughed and remembered the first time she'd seen this poster in Fred and George's shop window in 6th year.

The memory nearly brought tears to her eyes. Not because it was a particularly sad moment but because the memory lead to go going to back to Hogwarts and thinking of Hogwarts brought tears to eyes.

Hermione whipped her eyes and hung the poster on her wall. She hoped her mother wouldn't notice it.

Hermione heard her parents calling her into the kitchen. She would have to open the rest later.

She ran downstairs and jumped onto the couch.

"Happy Birthday honey!" said Mrs Granger. She looked a bit fidgety, like something was wrong. Hermione ignored it, she was going to have the best day ever. Hermione's dad walked in and gave her a kiss and a hug and said Happy Birthday.

"We've got your Birthday present outside! Come and have a look," said Mrs Granger. They blindfolded Hermione and led her carefully outside. They tore of the blindfold and Hermione stared down at her amazing present. There, in the drive through, parked a white SAAB 9000i (A/N My mum has this car! If you want to see what it looks like just type in the name into google images). It wasn't the prettiest or the best car, but it was enough.

Hermione gasped then ran and hugged her parents.

"Thankyou so much! Oh my god!" cried Hermione.

Her parents laughed and threw her the key. She opened the car door and slid into the drivers seat. She smiled and beeped the horn. Then she beckoned to her parents. They got in and she went for a drive.

In the late afternoon Hermione's parents told her they would be having dinner with some good friends of theirs. While Hermione's parents cooked and prepared the house for the guests Hermione went upstairs to open the rest of the her presents and get ready.

For some reason her parents had been really weird. They had seemed uneasy and fidgety throughout the day. Hermione shrugged it off. She was sure it was nothing big.

She opened the presents. From Mrs Weasley she got a knitted jumper and some homemade fudge, from Ginny she got a nice denim mini skirt (which Hermione was sure she would never wear), from Ron and Harry she got a book collection that she had wanted forever and from everyone else at the order who had combined her present they gave her a subscription to Transfiguration Weekly.

Then last was a large parcel. She opened the card. It was from Draco!

Dear Hermione,

Happy Birthday! Hope your having a great day! I am having great holidays you? You have to promise to come and stay with me. Please owl me. How are your holidays going? My parents still don't know about us. I'll tell them when the time is right. Hope to see you soon!

Love Draco.

Hermione smiled and opened the parcel. It was a beautiful leather bound, red diary. It was amazing! (A/N It looks just like Mia's diary of Princess Diaries)

Hermione heard the door open and some voices coming from downstairs.

Oh shit the guests are here!

Hermione quickly grabbed a nice pair of clean jeans and a pretty white top. She quickly grabbed a rubber band and tied her hair up in a neat ponytail. She glanced at her self in the mirror. She didn't look fabulous but it would have to do. She ran downstairs. As soon as Hermione came into view a lady ran up to her and gave her a huge hug and a kiss.

"Hermione! My dear Happy Birthday! It has been so long! The last time I saw you you were 4 playing naked in my sons paddling pool," said the women. A boy beside her blushed deep crimson.

When he saw Hermione looking at him he scowled at her. Hermione was a bit taken aback.

"Hermione this is Michael and these are his parents Julie and Andrew. You went to kinder with him. Do you remember?" asked Hermione's dad beckoning to Michael. His voice was uneasy.

"Um no I don't I'm sorry," said Hermione politely.

"Oh but I'm so excited about the wedding! Our son and your daughter will make the perfect match!" said Julie. Hermione looked confused.

Wedding? What on earth they talking about?

Hermione's parents gave an awkward cough. The Julie frowned.

"You mean you have not told her?" said Julie surprised yet angry. Andrew had not said anything yet but he was looking uncomfortable. Hermione's parents gulped and beckoned to Hermione.

"Hermione can we have a word? Sorry Julie we'll be back in a moment," said Hermione's mum nervously.

They led Hermione into the dining room.

"Mum, dad what are they talking about?" asked Hermione angrily.

"Well darling. We were going to tell you earlier on but ever since you went to that witch school there have been…complications," started Mr Granger, "When you were young you and Michael were best friends and your mother and I were very good friends with Julie and Andrew and well we decided that when your older you two should marry."

Hermione gasped. "What do you mean?" said Hermione, her voice shaking with anger.

"You and Michael are…betrothed."

Muahahaha! Yes it's not a typo Michael and Hermione are betrothed! Sorry I would have put a description of what Julie, Andrew and Michael looked like but I don't think I could've made this chapter any longer. It's 5 pages long on word! I promise I'll do a description of them next chapter. Sorry if you didn't like the twist. But you have to admit the story was getting too happy ending.

Well hope you enjoyed! HAHAHA! Review!
