Author's Note: Hey everyone! I'm soo soo sorry for not updating soon… I just finished my Thesis report and I had a lot of requirements to do. Please forgive me. Also be patient… I'll try my best to update more during Semestral Break. Thank you for all the followers. I LOVE YOU ALL. I don't want to keep you guys waiting any longer so on with my next chapter!

Harry's POV

Ron and I were waiting for Hermione to get out of McGonagall's office. As she came out, I saw her sobbing. I wonder what happened. I wanted to ask her what happened but she was sniffling. I pulled her into a tight hug and started rubbing circles on her back. Whatever happened to her, I know it wasn't good because of how she looks like right now.

She's been through so much already. I don't think I can still handle seeing my best friend who's like my sister already to be seen hurt again. Once she started calming down, I looked at her straight in the eyes and saw the feeling of guilt. Then I asked her, "What's wrong, 'Mione?"

"M- m-my… P- P- Pa-ren-ts- w-w-were k-i-lled…b-by D-D-ea—th E-Ea-t-te—er-ers" She started sobbing again after she spoke, "i..if… I bro..brought.. th…them…t..to th..the..o…or…orde…order… th..they…wo…wou…would.. have.. st…sti…still … b…be…bee….been… a…al..ali…alive,"

I'm feeling so sorry for her. She's blaming herself for the death of her parents. "'Mione, listen to me," I told her, "don't blame yourself for something you didn't expect to happen."

"b..bu…but.."

"No Hermione! You are not to blame yourself, do you hear me?"

"A…a…al.. alrig..alright….."

"I'm so sorry Hermione," I apologized, "I just don't want you to blame yourself for the death of your parents. Everyone lost someone important to them during the war,"

I gave her a few minutes and Hermione was able to get herself together again. "I completely understand, Harry," she replied, "though I hope that you will understand that I need time to recover for the loss of my parents too,"

"Sure, Hermione, take all the time you need,"

"Thank you so much for understanding, Harry" she replied then returned my hug.

She apparated and was out of sight.

"Do you think she'll be alright, mate?" Ron finally asked.

"She will be Ron, she will be," giving him a reassuring smile, patting him on the back.

Hermione's POV

As I got out the office of the Head Mistress, I had my head down and I didn't see whoever was around me. It felt like a million buildings crashed down on me. I was so devastated in hearing the news about my parents.

I didn't realize I was crying until Harry asked me what was wrong and I answered, sniffling. I wanted to go away and lock myself somewhere where no one would ever find me, and wait for my time. That was until I heard that Harry was upset with me for blaming myself for the death of my parents. I told him I would stop blaming myself, I was lying though.

He apologized for being upset with me, and since I was like a sister to him, he told me that he didn't want me blaming myself because everyone lost someone in the war. I told him I needed time to recover and he told me to take all the time I need. I thanked him and left for my home.

When I arrived there, the house was disheveled that you would think of it as a dungeon if not for the pictures that were there. I realized that the pictures had me in them, and it hit me. I wasn't able to perform the spell correctly, that's how the Death Eaters found my home. If I was able to perform the spell the way I should have, then those Death Eaters never would have found my parents.

How am I so stupid that I didn't check if the spell worked before leaving the house? I guess was in so much of a hurry that I didn't even bother making sure. It hurt me greatly to remove my parents' memories, but it had to be done. Apparently it was never performed properly so their memory of me stayed in their minds.

I got a picture and I looked at it for a long time. It was a picture of me and my parents having a good time in France before 3rd year started at Hogwarts. I gathered all the pictures I had with my parents and went to my room. When I got there, I stayed in the corner and started to go through the pictures and photo albums.

I got a photo album which stated in the front 'Hermione's 1st birthday'. I went through it and saw myself with my parents outside our house. The entire neighborhood came and I was smiling widely with a toothy grin. I didn't realize I was crying until I saw a teardrop on one of the photos where I was surrounded by a pile of gifts.

I held as much pictures as I can in my arms and held on to it as if my life depended on it. Well, my life did depend on it now since my parents are gone because of my carelessness. My thoughts were unclear. Maybe I'd just lock myself away from everyone. I'd just starve myself so that my life will end. I didn't realize it with all the thought running through my head but I drifted off to sleep.

Blaise's POV

I'm greatly worried about her, my sister. I felt a strong energy flowing within me after the war had ended. I knew it was from her, not me. It was the same energy I felt when I got angry at Bullstrode from hurting her, though it was stronger. I remember what I did the instant I felt it:

I started to look for her. I looked everywhere. The girl's bathroom, the 7th floor corridor. I even check the Astronomy tower for Merlin's sake, but I still found nothing. Suddenly, from the view of the Astronomy tower, I saw a multi-colored aura that was extremely magnificent, though after a few minutes, it vanished.

I started to walk over to that direction but, when I arrived there, I saw Potter and Weasleys' body on the floor, stunned. I knew that my sister was here earlier, since her friends are, but where is she. I decided to bring her pair of friends to a place where they would be safe first, then, I'd look for my sister. I levitated them and brought them to the Hospital Wing which was thankfully, not very far.

As I walked over to the great oak doors, I was greeted by Madame Pomfrey and told me to lay Potter and Weasley to the bed beside the one occupied right now. As I laid the pair down to their respective beds, I lifted the curse that was placed on them. After that, I looked behind me to check who the other patient was and saw my sister.

I quickly wrapped my arms around her unconscious figure and held on to her for about a minute, then I heard a cough from a person sitting on the chair on the other side of her bed. There sat my best friend, Draco Malfoy.

I set my sister down slowly and let her rest. I quickly got to my feet and ran towards my parents.

"Did you find her?" my mother asked.

"Yah." I replied, "Her energy seems to have worn out. I felt her energy. It was really strong. I found her in the Hospital Wing and I can't help but hug her."

"Did anyone see you?" my mother asked again.

"Draco saw me since I figure he was the one who brought her there,"

"I hope your friend isn't very suspicious, son" Father finally spoke.

"I highly doubt that, dad"

With that being said we apparated quickly to the Zabini Manor.

I heard the news about her adoptive parents. Since she doesn't know anything about her real family yet, I can feel she is greatly hurt and devastated. I went out to go to her house. I casted a silencing spell on myself so that she won't hear me. I went around the house. I came to a door which was different from all the other doors and figured it was hers. I tried to open it and saw that it was locked. I couldn't help it so I casted an unlocking spell.

When I saw the room, I knew it was definitely hers because it was full of books. I looked around the room and found her in a corner. She was hugging several pictures and some photos and photo albums were scattered around her. I figured she was sleeping since she wasn't moving much. I went over to her and carried her to her bed. I conjured a chair a sat there. I figured she needed someone to be with her, though that most definitely wouldn't be me, but still, she's my sister, so I decided to stay for the night and watch her.

I sent a Patronus with the shape of an otter and told my parents that I wished to stay with my sister for the night.

I was just watching over her when I got absorbed with weariness and fell asleep.

Author's Note: So Blaise is related to our dear 'Mione. How will Hermione react after finding Blaise asleep on a chair beside her? Also what will Draco do when he finds out about the real family of Hermione? How will Hermione cope with it? Will she accept her new family? So those will be a few of the questions that are to be answered in the next chapter… Please be patient with me. I might be able to update after a week, hopefully before the weekends. Its requirements week in our school so please be patient. I would be very happy to read your reviews. Thanks again . I love you all .
