Hermione was very confused, she didn't know how to act around the grangers. Sure they had raised her, but she felt that it was out of obligation not care. she was relived that they were still working, so she just had to be with them during dinner time. She could also use the time they work to search for clues about her situation.

So the first day of the holiday, found her searching her parents bedroom, and study for her birth certificat, and if there was adoption papers for her, but to her disappointement, she didn't found anything.

Shew wasn't discouraged, and was determinated to continue. So for the next few days she search the whole house, but didn't find a thing.

She was ready to give up, when she remembered the attic . as she search their, she found an old box, when she opened it she fond photo album, with photos of her and a woman she didn't know, she also found her birth certificat and was surprised that her birth mother name was « miranda granger », she recalled that miranda was the yongest sister of her father.

She finally found a diary with the name of miranda granger on the top. She gather all of those things and headed to her room, where she stored them. She needed more informations, befor confronting the grangers, so she resolved to read the diary first.

What fhe found left her angry and sad. Angry at the grangers and at james potter , and sad for her birth mother.

Miranda had met with james potter a year before her birth in pub in london where she was with a friend. They were approched by two handsome man (hermione guessed he was with sirius) and were offered drinks and later an invitation to dance. They spend a lovely night and were asked by the two man to meet for a second date. They had said their name were james potter and sirius black. They were fun even if they were confused at time, but she and her friend had enjoyed their time.

Miranda and james had met for many dates after that first,and a month later they were seriously dating and she began to fall for him. So she crushed when three months later when he ended their relationship, he told her he was guetting married the next week to the girl he had was in love with for many years, he told that he had enjoyed his time with her but that he couldn't married her.

Miranda had spend some time with her friends before she found about being pregnant. she resolved to ask help from her family. She didn't need money, she was well of herself thanks to her inheritance,but she needed emotional support , but she was dissapointed as her brother refused to help her. Her pregnancy had been a delicate one, and as the time of the birth neared she began to plan for her baby future.

After the birth of her daughter, she knew she didn't have time, so she asked for her lawyer robert adams who was also a good friend and she knew she could trust him.

She also asked for her brother to be present, and she asked him to take care of her baby she had set up a trust to cover her daughter studies, but she didn't want her daughter in hogwarts.

Her diary had been a tool to present herself to her daughter, she had wrote in it these details at the last hpour of her life. And asked her daughter to contact her solicitor and friend robert because he had photos of her, and he also managed hermione inheritance.

Hermione discovered that the grangers hadn't a say in her finances, as they were handeled by the solicitor, but that they received 1000 livres a month for her care.

She cried a lot for her mother that night, but she was determinated to make her mother proud of her. She now had a family that loved her and cared for her, and she was going to do everything to keep her brother safe. She knew she had to contact him, so she wrhote him a letter wher she explained everything and called dobby to send it with him.

Hermione had gone to diagon alley, officially she wanted to buy books and school supplies, but she had other things to buy as well, she began with trunk, she knew they would need space to store, so she bought a trunk with four compartiments. She headed after to the appoticary because she knew that they needed potion ingredients, and she bought a good supplies of the legal one, she explained that she was experimanting the potions before class to have the best scores, and she asked for help to achieved her goal. She was pleasantly surpised that the appoticary gave her a book about preparing the ingredients that every slytherin required after the beguinin of the school year. She bought two copies.

She also bought treats for her cat and for hedwig, and after buying new robes, she headed to flourish and bolts, where she added several books to her school ones. She had choosen books in different topics history laws , politics and several magical fild like transfiguration charms Dada arithmancy runes, potions.

she had been extatic when she found a book about animagy and another one about occulomancy. She knew that her choice of books wouldn't rise questions, because for the last three tears, she had been a regular customer of the bookshop, and the salesman were aware of her bookworm nature.

she was pleased she didn't run into anybody she knew, so after finishing her busness in the magical world she headed to the muggle one, where she bought a good supplies of notebooks and pens to last her and harry a year or more, an electronic calculator, before buying a good supplies of make up to help harry disguise.

She was aware of the wizards idea about muggle technology, but one fact didn't make sense. Their watch worked fine in the school, so something was missing and she needed more fact before.

After returning home, she was surprised to find an owl from ron informing her that his father was coming the next week to escort her to the burrow. while she was happy about the invitation, she was also angry at his tone, he didn't leave her a choice in the matter, he just assumed that she would agree with his invitation. She called for dobby to delivre a note to harry about her activity and their action for the rest of summer.

Harry was having a good summer, he and hermione had both made many plans for the summer and he was following them scrupulousely.

he had threatened the durseleys with his criminal godfather, so he had kept all of his school supplies in his room. He also made it clear to them that he wasn't doing any cores this summer, so they 'd better live him alone. He had dobby coking for him balanced meals, and he kept exercising to have a good stamina. He knew he couldn't do more for now but he was patient .

he had been very surprised at hermione letter. He understood her anger, and this revelation made him more disapointed n his father, so he whrote back to his sister to consol her and sheer her up.

He also remind her of her upcoming visit to diagon alley, because he couldn't go their yet, he needed supplies and she was the best one to have them for him without making it suspicious. He send his reply with dobby, and seeing hedwig angry look, he gave her a letter to the weasleys.

He had conflicted feelings about them, he wasn't sure wath to make of his relationships with the family, but as he and hermione discussed this they were going to wait and see what the red heads are doing and goes from there.

He had began mediating with hermione after their return, to prepare for learning occulomancy as he wanted to block voldemort completly, as they had asd th ROR for instructions to learn this skill, and they had been provided with a number of books they had used during their time at hogwarts, they had also copied the directives given in the books to help in the holiday.

He had whrote two letters to sirius after his return to the first one had been sent the first week of the holiday. He had sent the second the day before and he had asked sirius about cursed scare, as he had felt peine in his earlier, he knew of course the reason to that, but he wanted to confirm dumbledore tought, to avoid suspicion.

he knew that he needed a way to buy his supplies without rising suspicion, so he send dobby to hermione to ask her some muggle money, and was pleased that she had send him 50 pounds. He knew that a nearby store sold some cheap clothes, and he need an outfit, so the next day after buying a pair of black jeans, and a shirt, he had also been able to buy a pair of training, that complete his outfit.

So after wearing his normal clothes, he took the new ones with the make up, a school robe and his invisibility coack in his bag. He headed to the nearby mole and after making sure nobody was trailing him he changed to his new clothes, and he put some make up on his scare to cover it. He wore a baseball cap to cover his head, and the results was very

He had wanted to throw dudley hand-me-down, but he knew his uncle would be upset about it. So he exited the mole, and he called the night bus to go to diagon alley.

He headed first to gringots, where he took a good amount of gold, from his vault, And exchanging some to muggle money, he headed to the different stores of the alley.

Like his sister he bought a trunk with four compartements, agood amount of potion supplies, and two wand holsters, he knew that they would need it in the futur.

As he passed the furniture store, he heared two wizards talking about camping arragement, and he remember that in the sventh book he and hermione had used a wizard tent, ' it could be useful ' he tought so he bought one.

His shopping trip in the muggle world was short, he knew that his physical form would improove, so he bought just two outfit, but he lacked in underwear and socks, so he bought them and two training suits, he needed shoes, so he bought two paires, and a training.

He bought a new watch, and a walkman. He like his sister wanted to test the influence of magic on muggle technology.

His last stop was to an optometrist to adjust his glasses, he bought two paires of glasses. He hoped that he could have hermione fixe his sight, because he knew that he was at a disadvantages with his poor sight.

Satisfied with his day he made his way back to dursley for the last days of his stay.

Harry was very amused at the scene played before him. The meeting with the dursleys and the weasleys was very funny. He knew from the fourth book that mr weasley and the twins were going to come to the dursleys to escort him. And he had a good laugh with hermione about this scene, although he had had second toughts about the twins, because it was very cruel of them to target a defensless muggle with a magical item just to laugh at his expens. He knew that one fact didn't mean that they were bad, sure they lack maturity, but they could see that their pranks weren't always harmeless.

In fact this scene amoung others had him analysing his relationship with the red heads family, he had read enough fanfictions about conspirations and manipulation theories, and he had found some of them very good at analysing and explaining what happened and his reasons. He had with hermione and jarod spend many nights speaking about that, and after their return he and hermione had spend many nights talking about this matter. Finally they agreed to keep an open mind about the family and to no jump to conclusions before cheking all the fact.

So with careful eyes, he had watched the twins and he succed in avoinding a great disaster, although the fireplace had been destroyed, the dudley incident didn't happen.

He left the dursleys hopping for a better futur, and to never return to this prison.
