"Slytherin" shouted the hat
Hermione looked at Dumbledore, all the trust she had ever had for that man disappeared, oh how she wanted to believe that he knew as little as she did. But she could see in his eyes that he had known. All the time.
" Hermione dear do you perhaps know who your mom is" Dumbledore asked, looking so innocent as it was possible to look.
Hermione was about to answer as she felt a strange feeling in her head, like if someone was trying to get into her mind. She quickly got up her mind shields and for good measure started to sing a children song in her head called Winnie the Pooh.
She looked around and saw that Snape looked rather irritated, and it was not her he looked on. It was Dumbledore.
" headmaster if you please would let me take miss Granger to her new house " Snape drawled.
" of course Severus I would let you do that, I only need to know Hermione's new last name" Dumbledore said.
Hermione looked at her headmaster " as soon as I know I will consider telling you, though I like my name so lets just keep it Granger ok?" She said.
" ah ok sure, Severus you can take her to her new house" Dumbledore said. He looked like a child being rejected getting candy.
As Hermione walked with Snape towards her new house she started to think, it was true what she had said to Dumbledore. She did not know her last name but she had her suspicions.
" here we are Hermione, the password for this week is Pureblood.. And it will change every week so be prepared and read the bulletin board which hangs just beside the entrance here" Snape said in a friendly tone.
Hermione looked up from the floor and realised two things, one the portrait was a cute white puppy, with sparkling blue eyes. And two she had not for the first time in her life paid attention to where she had walked.
" professor.. Why do you change the passwords every week when Hogwarts a history clearly states that the passwords are changed every month" Hermione asked as they walked inside the common room.
It was just as Harry and Ron had described it. But strangely enough Hermione felt at home. It was luxurious and it felt slightly cozy too once you took a look at the green fire burning brightly.
" I will leave you here Hermione and if there is anything at all do come and see me, my office is just here" Snape said and pointed towards a small door just beside the fireplace.
" thank you professor but where can I find my dorm?" Hermione asked.
" oh sorry.. I guess this is new to all of us, just go up the staircase and to the right" he said.
Hermione gave him a short nod and walked where he had said she was supposed to and soon found her room, she noticed that each and every student had their own room, and once she opened her room. She saw the standard four poster bed only with green and silver sheets instead of red and gold.
Though the thing two things that caught her attention was firstly the huge bookcase with all of her books, including some extra books and that all of her belongings had placed itself where she usually would have them at home. And the second thing she noticed was another letter. Together with a black raven.
Hermione walked towards the raven and saw it was still standing, she opened the letter.
Dear Hermione.
I heard from Severus a few minutes ago that you were transferred to Slytherin. And me and your dad is very proud of you.. I guess you probably wonder why the raven doesn't look like he want a reply from you and that is because he is yours. His name is Archimedes and I hope you like him.
Love mom
Ps: enclosed in this letter is a shrunken cage for Archimedes.
Hermione frowned and looked at the letter again, it was not her moms handwriting, not that they sent letters anyway, that could only mean that the letter was from her real mom. But who was she.
