Not mine just playing. I am going to try to speed the story along here and get us into some more good stuff.

The conversation moved on we stuck primarily to light safe topics . Everyone joining in. We even had a few laugh's together which surprised

me a bit. I learned that Blaise and Draco were only staying for a day or two. For the purpose of helping me settle ,but they did say that they

would come by to visit if they got a chance. .but that Millie, lived not far and could drop by at anytime. They could actually be nice when they

wanted to be. So after about hour or so I risked mentioning Harry and the Weasleys and that I had to let them know that I was all right. Draco

wasn't impressed by this, but the other's seemed to understand. Millie asked me what I was going to tell them and I answered her that . I wasn't

sure. That I would of coarse tell them that I was all right . That they shouldn't worry but that I wasn't sure how much else to say. The other's

seemed to ponder this for a bit before I began to get suggestion's. After grabbing a quill and some parchment . Together we composed a letter

that covered all the important point's . Without going into a lot of painful detail. It went very quickly having so many people to help me. In the

end I was happy with my result. Even if we did argue a bit about how to sign it.

Dear Everyone.

Please don't worry I'm fine ! It has been a disturbing couple of day's but thing's are calm now. Dumbledore , Mcgonagall and Kingsly have been here and we had a long talk.

It would seem that the Grangers were not my real parents. I was stolen from real parent's when I was a baby. Kingsley explained. I was not the only child that had gone missing

in connection with a corrupt Auror by the name of Philip NewWell. I am how ever the only child to ever be recovered. No one knows why. My name is Abigale Loyce now and I'm related to

Tom from the Leaky Caldron. He's my great uncle. So if you would like to write to me you should address your letters to my new name. I should also warn you that I look different now.

The Glamour that was hiding me came off. So I won't look like Hermione anymore. I will explain everything better when I see all of you.

Love.

Abigale

That done we sent it with Burtrim, Max's owl . I was still a little worried that I hadn't told them about being resorted but everyone else seemed

to think that could wait. That I should let them get used to things before I tell them more. I suppose that was the Slytherin way.

We decided it was time for lunch and headed downstairs. Life got easier after that . My mother informed me that I needed proper clothing and

shopping trip's were planned .I received a few owls from Harry, Ron and Ginny demanding more detail's but I tried to be evasive I wanted to

explain it to them in person, not in some letter where I can't see their face's. I learned over time that Millie was funny and a lot like Ginny . The

boy's, I learned were just, boy's even if Malfoy was still a prat a lot of the time, and though I would never admit it to anyone else. Slytherin boy's

were better looking than Griffindor boy's. Not that I was looking ! ….Much. Though to my embarrassment . Blaise caught me looking

once, or twice, or… three time's. In my defense though I have been under considerable stress and just looking at boy's is not some kind of

,crime. Anyway ,it's their fault for taking their shirt's off when they were playing quitich with Max after all they were practically naked , And

I was watching the game. What was I supposed to look at ? It's just that. Well . When Blaise looked at me. He had this look on his face like . I

don't Know ! Like he knew I was looking, and he looked back at me and …. Smiled the most dazzling smile . He was making my face turn red

and my stomach turn over . What is wrong with me ? All he did was smile and my heart is about to beat it's way out of my chest. I told Millie

I wanted to go inside. I felt stupid and embarrassed . I'm not going to stand here and make a fool of myself so they can laugh at me behind my

back later ! Millie asked me why I wanted to go inside on such a nice day, when we were all having so much fun, but I just shrugged it off and told

her that I just did. She looked back and forth between Blaise and I for a moment before her eyes lit up and she said . " Oh, I see what the

problem is. Alright Prudie ." That struck a nerve. " My name is not Prudie ! I am not a Prude ! " She gave me one of her big smile's and said. "

Of course your not Prudence ." That made me a bit huffy I admit .She was being ridiculous I am not, a prude !

Over the course of the last month before school resumed it was as though I became someone completely different. Maybe not in personality or

who I was on the inside, but in other way's. I was different, I had a new home, A new family, I had a brother and he was funny and bossy like me,

My dad love's book's as much as I do and my mom loved me so much I could see it. Feel it every time she looked at me .I had always felt that

the Granger's loved me but it wasn't like this. It didn't feel like this. I kept waiting for it to wear off and for it to get less noticeable but it wasn't

and I started to wonder if the Granger's had ever really loved me at all . I couldn't help but wonder if this was normal , or maybe wizarding

family's are just more loving . Or maybe the Granger's were just less affectionate people . I was also making new friends with people I would

have never thought possible. I was having conversations with them that I could never of had with Harry and Ron. I felt like they wanted to hear

what I had to say instead of rolling their eyes with a look that said " GREAT HERE SHE GO'S AGAIN ! " So basically if I thought about it I

would say that .The whole world felt new as if I was just seeing it for the first time !

..

" My name is Abigale Loyce and I'm a Slytherin ! "
