Neither Harry Potter Or Lord Of The Rings belong to me they belong to their respected owners. (But that doesn't stop me dreaming)

Hermione Jane Granger, a normal 16 year old girl who holds many secrets, most of all the fact that she is a witch who attends Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but even this simple secret pales in comparison to what she was currently reading.

As she re-read the letter that was delivered in the early hours of this morning by a black Gringotts Owl, her thoughts drifted to when she had first read through the letter, at first she had been shocked, but as the person who wrote the letter had been dead for 15 years that is no surprise. She had to read through the letter quite a few times before her brain started to work out what the consequences meant for her and one of her best friends. immediately after reading it she had called harry and arranged a time to meet him at the leaky cauldron.

That was almost two hours ago now, and she was currently sat on the Knight bus on the way to meet Harry.

Harry James Potter considered himself to be perfectly normal , thank you very much, well as normal as a 16 year old wizard who had survived the killing curse could be. Once upon-a-time he would have told you that was the biggest secret he held but now, after this mornings delivery he wasn't quite sure what was happening, or what this would mean in a few days time.

There was however a few things he could be sure about, 1. he now had more than one secret he shared with his friend Hermione and 2. on this day more things had been set in motion, although what he was not really sure of.

At this current time he was sitting in his uncles car on his way to the leaky cauldron, on his way to meet Hermione, as after hearing from the girl in question he had literately begged his uncle to drive him to London which he had only agreed to once Harry had reminded him about the orders threats.

It occurred to him as he was travelling from Surrey to London that he was in shock, but then he guessed that was to be expected as after all its not everyday he gets a delayed post letter from someone in his past who was long dead, and things had only got more complicated as he had read through what they had to tell him.

Arriving in London Harry got out of the car and said a hurried goodbye to his uncle who grunted in reply, quickly as he could he walked to the secret opening to the wizarding world, Diagon Alley and the dingy little pup that was its entrance, where he was to meet his companion.

He once again pulled out the letter which smelt of jasmine his mum's scent he remembered as he read:

Dear Harry,

There is a lot I want to say to you my son but most of all I want you to know that your farther and I love you. No matter what happened or where we are now. I love you.

Now Harry what I need to tell you is only known by the family. Son you have a sister, a twin.

We had to give the girl away for her safety, and you also were to leave us but we ran out of time as you probably know.

Your sister is Hannah Potter but I believe she goes as Hermione Granger now, I guess she attends Hogwarts as you do and I ask you to please find your sister, that is if you don't already know her.
She will have also received a letter like this today.

The other thing I need to tell you is that I am not human, Harry I am an Elf (not a house elf my son a totally different Species) one of the elder, from a realm called middle earth in a place called Rivendell, my father still resides there and is not aware of my death I believe.

Please Harry I beg you write to your grandfather, tell him what happened here please, also how sorry i am to leave him and the others.

Also Harry this means that your twin and yourself are half elves and as such around others of our race you are Elerossë, get to know your grandfather Lord Elrond he can help.

One last piece of advice Harry DO NOT TRUST ALBUS DUMBLEDORE, he is manipulative and would rather see you dead if it will help him win his war.

Your loving mother

Lilith daughter of Elrond

P.S. Tell my brothers and sister I love them.

Harry finished reading just as he walked into the meeting place and saw Hermione waiting for him at the back of the room he walked over and sat down.

Hermione had arrived early to meet harry and decided to sit near the back of the pub away from prying eyes, she had ordered a butter beer and read through her letter through again while she waited:

My dear sweet Hannah,

I know you are probably very confused my darling but please read through till the end.

You are adopted, and I my sweet am your birth mother. I was known as Lilly Potter for my married time on earth and you are Hannah Potter, twin of Harry.

I'm sorry we left you but at the time we thought it was for the best, know that I love you and always will my daughter.

I write for another reason as well my dear you see I am not human I am an elf of the elder race which means you are half elven, contact my father Lord Elrond he will help you to understand what I dare not write in a letter. Your elven name was chosen by my sister Arwen and among our race you will be known as Erulissë.

A little word of advice from the mother you never had the time to meet, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT TRUST ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Your loving mother

Lilith Daughter of Elrond

Hermione looked up when she finished and stared straight at her new found brother, they were silent till Harry decided to go get a butter beer, and as he came back and sat down it was Mione that spoke "well..."
