ok so not my longest chapter, but enjoy anyway...

Hermione stared at the nameless man in the painting. 'He didn't care about blood statues? Perhaps he wasn't related to the Malfoy's.' He was still looking at her as she continued her search for books. Then an idea popped into her head. Taking what books she had she walked over to the painting.

''Miss Granger, what are you looking for?'' He asked noticing the stack of books.

''Well you see I have been sleep walking but Draco thinks there is more to it than we think.'' She enplaned, hopping that he might be of some use.

''Perhaps if we look at your family tree we can see if anything like this has happened before.'' She was taken aback by that. Why didn't she think of this?

''That might help but there isn't anything about my family here.'' She said back, knowing that the only way to look at her family tree would have to be to talk to her parents.

''But are you sure? Here at Malfoy manor we have the biggest selection of both wizard and non-wizard family trees.'' He said in an as-a-matter-of-fact way.

'Really? That has creepy written all over that.' Hermione thought as she looked at him. ''Hey Draco?'' She said turning to him. He looked up from his book. ''Do you know where the family trees are?'' She asked him. He raised an eye brow before nodding. Putting his book down; he headed to a section farther in. She followed behind.

There were names, pictured and documents on many people. Some of the names she knew from Hogwarts. ''Are these organized by the most recent generation?'' She asked. He nodded.

''Father thought it would be easier as the family name tends to change for some. You will notice that some have two last names, they normally families who have someone with the original and someone from their blood with another's.'' She looked at him confused.

''How do you keep it straight?'' She asked him.

He shrugged. ''It was normally father that keep up with all this so I have no idea. I was never really interested in this anyway.''

Hermione nodded before scanning for names that looked familiar to her, more specifically her last name. It didn't take long, considering that some were covered in more dust than others.

When she found it her eyes widen. She really wasn't expecting it to be there. But right there in gold letters was 'Granger'. ''So I really am in a book.'' She said mostly to herself. She walked back to the painting. He was good luck so far.

She opened it to the first page. Her name was there. ''The book goes backwards. Meaning that back of the book is beginning of your blood line or family.'' He stated. She nodded thanks.

She turned to the next page and her eye widen. Her mother and father smiling and were waving thought the picture. She shook her head and looked back at them. ''Draco is it possible that your father took pictures of my mum and dad then put a spell on them?'' She asked. He walked over bringing a book on psychology.

He looked at the picture. He had seen her parents once or twice but didn't know them. ''It's possible, he doesn't like things that are muggle.'' He said. ''He only does this so he knows who is who in the magical world.'' Hermione nodded.

''It still unnerves me that it would be here.'' She said turning it back to first page, the one of her. She hadn't read over it yet since she was just skimming. But just as she was about to start reading it something caught her eye.

''IM ADOPTED?!'' Both Draco and the painting cover their ears at her outburst.

The next thing she knew everything was black.
