Sorry about such a long wait for this chapter but here is chapter 14:

Draco didn't take long after she got back. By this point they were both seated on her couch and were looking over the list. He had been there for an hour of so just looking at names and discussing how they couldn't be her family. It would be later when they would actually cross off the names when they have more information about them.

''I know Flint family can be crossed off.'' He said doing so. Hermione again raised a brow.

''How can they even make this list? Blaise knows that Flint loved to say cruel things to me.'' Draco shrugged.

''Blaise knows that he did have a sister be she died a couple of hours after birth. She was about a year younger than him. Sad really, Flint had been excited at the thought of a younger sibling from what I have heard.'' Hermione took that in. She felt bad for him now. She had always wanted a sibling herself.

''Who else is on there?'' She asked taking it yet again. 'Potter?' ''Oh now Blaise is just being silly. Harry and I have no connections what so ever. I already knew that.'' She crossed his name off. ''Greengrass, no I am most certainly not a Greengrass either.'' She said crossing it off. There were no similarity's what so ever between any of them.

''Why not? Being a Greengrass couldn't be too bad.'' Draco said. Hermione raised a brow.

''Well for one thing, as far as I know, no one in that family has ever been to smart.'' It was his turn to raise a brow. ''Not just that but I have seen them, I look nothing like them.''

He gave a reluctant nod. ''Yeah your hair is too bushy for a Greengrass.'' He paused for a moment. ''Are you saying that brains comes from blood?'' Hermione gave a sort of nodded. It had always been a thought of hers. Not that someone couldn't become smart and yet still had below average parents.

''Could you imagine being related to Pansy?'' Draco suddenly asked. Hermione's head snapped up so fast for a moment she thought it had actually popped off.

''The Pug! Oh god! That would be terrible!'' She said hitting him in the head with one of the couch pillows for even thinking that. It wasn't very genial either.

''OW! Hermione, it was rhetorical her family name isn't even on there!'' He said in his defense. Hermione narrowed her eyes. Next thing he knew he was being hit in the head with that stupid pillow again.

''DON'T! EVER! DARE! TO! EVEN! THINK! THAT!'' She yelled each time she hit him with the overly stuffed pillow.

''Hermione! Stop!'' She gave him one final smack. But the next thing that happened surprised them both. The pillow split open. Feathers went everywhere. All over the floor, the table, in Hermione's hair, but most of it was on Draco. Some got in his mouth and were sticking to his lips. Hermione laughed nervously but then he tried to spit out the ones that got in his mouth and it caused her to full out laugh. She fell from the couch to the ground she was laughing so hard. Draco shook his head but she sat up and smiled.

''Sorry, I just have never seen that happen outside of movies.'' She got up and brushed off some of the feathers. ''I'm also sorry about the feathers. I didn't mean for the pillow to pop open.'' Draco ran a hand thought his hair and pulled out some feathers when he did so.

''Why did it have to be feathers, it's always feathers?'' He asked a little bitterly Hermione noted. She was about to go get her wand from the kitchen when Draco starting laughing. She turned to him with a confused look.

''If this is how you reacted to the thought of being a Parkinson I wonder how you will react to you real family if you don't like them.'' He said resting his head on his fist.

''Not like that I won't! Even if I didn't like them.'' She said putting her hands on her hips. ''What a great first impression that would be 'oh hello there I am your long forgotten daughter, pardon me as I whack you over the head with this pillow' yeah they would take kindly to that.'' While she spoke she picked up another pillow-one that wasn't all over the floor-and threatened the invisible people with it. It caused Draco to chuckle and shake his head again. She quickly got her wand from the kitchen and when she returned she fixed her pillow. The feathers quickly went back into the said pillow and she placed it back on the couch.

She sat back down and it was awkward and she didn't know what to say. It's not like it happened often. Even if it was to just go over names. He must have sensed it because he broke the silence.

''I think you figured it out but did you hear anything about what the Grangers said after you left?'' Hermione signed. That's what had been bugging her.

''I didn't have to hear anything. I knew how they felt. I knew they had tried to hide my Hogwarts letter.'' She pulled her knees up and put her feet on the couch. ''We were going to go to dinner and I got my father's coat and it fell from the pocket.'' She said remembering that day. Draco was listening to her, she knew that. ''I didn't see the look of frustration when I first found it but they couldn't keep it from me any longer once I found it. And they let me go. I guess that's when they started to care less and less about me.'' She turned to him. He was looking very intently at her. ''I noticed that they became more and more involved in their work, less time for me.''

''It must have hurt, to know that your parents didn't look at you the same once you got your letter.'' Hermione shock her head.

''It did at first but then it became the routine. Parents would be gone before I woke up; they work long into the night, we ate dinner then they would go off to do other things leaving me with nothing more than to read.''

''You didn't have any muggle friends?'' He asked her, and again she shook her head.

''No, all the kids I went to school with thought I was a freak. I made strange things happen of course no one would want to hang out with me.'' She said bitterly remembering all the taunts she got.

And again it was awkward. Neither knew what to say to the other. But Draco knew it needed to be a different topic.

Draco cleared his throat. ''So uh, how did your meeting with Nott go?'' He asked her. She shook her head.

''Well he spit his coffee out at me. Then again he was shocked that I was in your house.'' Draco raised a brow. ''He also agreed to help, said he would look further into whatever names didn't get crossed off. '' Hermione laughed about the coffee.

''So you told him everything?'' Draco asked. She nodded her head.

''To my shock he looked confused about the whole situation. I didn't know him very well but I know he was never one to show much emotion.'' Draco nodded.

''Yeah that is a little unusual but I guess he changed as well. I hope I get to come with you on the next meeting. Three heads could figure this out faster than two.'' He offered her. Hermione simply nodded.

''I guess it makes sense since you are going to be helping.'' She looked back to the list. ''Anyway who is left?'' She picked up the list and looked it over again. She went on to explain how she couldn't possibly be related to some of those people on there.

It was silently agreed that the three of them would be working on this; until they found her family they would have a truths between the former Slytherins and Gryffindor.

Leave a review I like to hear what you have to say or what you think :)
