Preview on last chapter: Hermione and Harry are together in their group heading to their destination a bit later, I figured I use Ron's P.O.V. for a bit and then switch to Harry and Hermione later in this chapter. Ron is going to find out a few things about Hermione's life but, can't really do anything just yet since they're now split up in different locations under the W.P.P. (Wizards Protection Program) and has no way to communicate with them unless he does…then he'll be sure to do something about it.

"He gave me a letter to give you here," Tonks shuffling inside her book bag showing a stack of letters "He didn't want to risk using an owl so I apparate there to meet up with him" she explained.
"Good, good, how is the ol' block head anyway?" Charlie asked.
"Oh he's good he's now the head principle of a muggle high school called La Push High," Tonks explained.
"Really what in Merlin would he be in the principle for?" Charlie exclaimed waving his arms dramatically at this.
Tonks sighed at this "You know as much as I do it's part of his job Char besides… he's under disguise as the principle. No one knows this except his uncle and his family," she pointed out.
Charlie nodded at this "Well alright then let's head to the cabin yea so we can get you kids comfortable," he explained.
"Charlie whose Ben?" Ron asked.
"Hmm…" Charlie turned his youngest brother "What was that Ron?" he asked.
"I said who's Ben?" Ron repeating his question.
Charlie blinked his eyes "I thought Hermione would've told you…" he slowly said this.
"Tell me what?" Ron offended at this.
Charlie sighed at this "Ben is Hermione's older brother and one of my best friends in Hogwarts surely she would've told you this didn't she?" he asked.
Ron blankly stare at him "No she did not tell me that," he angrily huffed heading the other way instead of his room
"Oh dear…" Ginny mumbled "Ron get back here," running after him.
"Why should I?" Ron argued back.
Ginny got quiet and yelled by dragging his ear behind harshly I might add "Because I said so," she huffed at this.
"Owe. Owe, owe, owe Gin! Bloody hell !" Ron complained tripping his own feet leaving the others staring at the siblings widen in shock.
"Well don't just stand there MOVE IT!?" Ginny harshly yelled leaving them to yelp as they scattered away heading to their rooms leaving Ginny to roll their eyes.
"Boys are such idiots," Ginny grumbled dragging her older brother Ron by his ear as he started complaining on how hard she grabbed his ears which turned the same color as their hair.
[in England-Hermione and the group were finally outside the courtyard after a few pause moments along the way]
The ten children followed the two Aurors after a few moments after a few pause stops along the way because both Toby and Kingsley (the unknown Auror) kept stopping a few times because they didn't want to risk it.
"Um, sir…" Hermione said hesitantly. The man stopped in the courtyard turning to face them. He gave them a gentle look before smiling down at Hermione.
"Yes Miss. Granger?" the older gentleman asked gently.
Hermione shifted a bit uncomfortable "Actually it's- "giving her brothers 'is it okay if I tell him' look who looked at Toby who nodded at this "It's Miss. Black," she blurted out.
The older gentleman who was an Auror blinked his eyes in confuse "Excuse me, I thought your name was Ms. Granger I must've got the wrong young lady-" who was cut off by Tobias (Toby) "You got the right young lady Kings, trust me I didn't want to say it in the open like this but, I might as well tell you the truth," he explained.
"Tell me what?" the older gentleman Auror turned to his partner.
"My family and I… well more like my siblings and I are… adopted… Ben, Ariel, Aqua, Jay, Cameron, Hermione and myself… we learned that we're the children of Black," Toby explained buffing his fingernails towards his coat.
Harry and the others blankly stare at him as their eyes widen in shock then turn to Hermione who look away innocently as the dog barked almost like he was trying to say something while Remus blink his eyes at this.
"I don't understand… how are you all adopted…?" Remus slowly said this.
Hermione made a tired sigh "Well… I knew about this since our Christmas break… although at the time I didn't want to accept it because they're still my parents… and they didn't want me to tell Harry about it because it was too dangerous…not wanting to distract him and all that" looking away leaving Harry about to protest "And I know I shouldn't hide this from you Harry but, they insisted because you may never know that Voldemort-"leaving the others to flinch "Would find out and take advantage of that. You know I'm right about that Harry," she explained leaving him to slump his shoulder in defeat.
"Why didn't you tell me Mione?" Harry asked in whisper tones.
Again Hermione gave a 'sorry' look "I'm sorry Harry but, I promised my parents I wouldn't say anything until the coast was clear… and while they told me the truth… I was too busy helping you with the tournament and it was too much for me to even think about it especially now … so I asked my parents who they were … turns out they're my aunt and uncle … who were in hiding and turns out your mum obiliavated them into hiding under a different name until the truth came out when my two sisters suddenly looked different," she explained.
"Really Granger, there's no way you're a Black I would've known that considering my mum maiden name was Black it wouldn't shown in the family tree," Draco sneered at her.
"You don't think I don't know that," Hermione screamed at him leaving him to yelp as she grabbed a big brown envelope out of her small purse and slapped it around his chest despite he flinched on how hard she hit him with it "Then please care to explain how me and you are 2nd cousins including my siblings at that; thru that letter it explained everything Malfoy so don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I was going to tell Harry but, I knew it was too dangerous and there's enough proof inside," she harshly replied narrowing her eyes at him as he mumbled under his breath looking at the proof, his eyes were widen in shock until he started cursing under his breath not wanting to believe this but, passed the brown envelope back to her with a stiffly nod.
"The murder," Marcus sneered.
"Excuse me?" Hermione growled at this.
"You heard me Granger he's a bloody murder?" Marcus sneered at this.
"I'm sorry . repeat that Flint?" Hermione snarled.
"You heard me your father is a mu-" Marcus was cut off by a huge slap on the face that her brothers growled at the kid not wanting their sister to get hurt.
"That's what I thought you said," Hermione stiffly replied as Jayden held her back knowing how overprotective she was with her family leaving the group to take a step back as her glamour charm suddenly came up "My Father is Not. A Murder. You-You fowl loath little cockroach-" raising her wand against Marcus Flint neck leaving him to stiff as her wand was against his neck the same way she did to Malfoy in their 3rd year but, was cut off by Jayden her older brother.
"Mia no, not even Slytherin like him isn't worth it" Jayden comment holding her back by the waist glaring at the kid.
Hermione stood with an angry expression lowering her wand while the others watched the scene then before he can say anything she punched in the face leaving him to groan to the ground.
"If I ever hear you talk about my father like that I won't hesitate to hex you Flint?!" Hermione warned him with her icy tone then lowered her voice "If it wasn't for my big brothers Jay and Cameron, Cedric would've died … along with Harry tonight without them saving them without their knowledge at the tournament … my birth father is finally free to roam around and gain custody to my best friend Harry so don't you dare say that to me. You don't know anything when it comes with my family Flint for something my birth father didn't do or commit. He didn't kill those muggles it was PETER PETTIGREW who killed them not my birth father. That bloody traitor not only betrayed my best friend Harry's parents hide out and murdered them to death… my older siblings had to witness my aunt Lily's death because of that damn murder, Peter Pettigrew was Weak to his master. That same murder who killed my birth mother for protecting me and my siblings when I was only 2 years old that neither of us knew about it until my big sister's glamour charm came off recently because of him. We've been in hiding since then that my birth father thought he lost his entire family because of him while he was in Azkaban," she exclaimed who held his nose which was bleeding nonstop.
"So don't you dare tell me that my birth father Sirius is a murder in front of my face again because for one thing he would never. In a million years Betrayed my uncle James because they're practically brothers they grew up together so why would he? It would've been too obvious for Voldemort to follow suit so my uncle James and aunt Lily switched secret keepers to the last person they expected which was Peter Pettigrew!? He should've died that night … but, instead my daddy was thrown in Azkaban Prison without a fair trail… where he was innocent the whole time … he's been there for 12 years … it's a bloody miracle he survived for that long…. I would've killed that bloody traitor if I wanted too…" holding her tears as everyone grew quiet "After learning the truth that the man that I saved last year is my actually biologically father … without even talking or even questioning … why would he… he thought his family died… when we've been alive this entire time… " as she took a deep breath wiping her tears quickly "So I suggest you get your facts straight before I get really physically and trust me Flint I'm a 12 degree black belt on every Jetsu Jui brazalian in 12 different countries?!" she snarled.
The tall man cleared his throat "I see… so … you're the youngest daughter of .. Sirius Black I presume including you Toby and your siblings?" he asked.
"Yes that would be correct…" Toby stiffly replied after being quiet hearing his baby sister over emotional distress take a toll out of her.
"Why weren't notified before I mean I knew Amelia wanted to look through Sirius Black trial and when there weren't any … " the tall man slowly realized widen his eyes in horror "You knew didn't you… you knew he was innocent…" he whispered.
"Not at first… I mean I didn't know about him until last September it would explain a few things … and neither of us wanted anyone to find out … we wanted to keep it under wraps until we got full proof and we did… it took a long time too but, we got it," Cameron comments as he grabbed his sister back and forth to calm her down who couldn't help but, sob against his shirt rubbing her back.
"We even asked our grandparents if it was true… and we were told then but, the truth… our memories from our children instantly came back and before I knew it … Malfoy's crazy aunt Bellatrix," Jayden spats narrowing his eyes towards the Slytherin (Draco Malfoy) who shifted uncomfortable knowing this where he continued to talk "Killed my birth mother before the 'you know who' killed our aunt and uncle… so don't act like you know about us including our father… because you have no idea what we have to go thru this past year …" he harshly told Marcus who stood quiet.
"And the only reason why their last name is Ventura is because it's my adopted mum's maiden name before she married my adopted father it was a hidden name so no one would know they're alive… and my birth mum was Selene… Selene Anastasia Lupin youngest sister to Professor Remus Lupin and neither of us knew until this past year … and we didn't want anyone to snoop into our personal lives because of it," Hermione calmly replied.
"Selene…" Remus whispered almost teared up at this.
"Yes, professor our birth mother was Selene. wife to Sirius Orion Black," Cameron calmly replied.
"Well … then I suggest we should get going we're already wasted 10 minutes from this conversation," the tall man cleared his throat as everyone nodded at this while Jayden carried Hermione on his back once again since she's too emotional while Cameron carried Luna on his back who looked tired as they all walked to the bridge while Harry and Dean walked between Jayden not wanting to be away from Hermione without a second thought since she's pretty sure Harry wants an explanation when they're by themselves.
"How long till we get there?" Cedric spoke up.
"It won't be long… we just have to find a place so no one can find us," the tall man answered.
"Um… sir…" Hermione whispered as she was hesitated being carried by Jayden on his back. The man stopped by the bridge passing the courtyard "Yes Miss. Black?" he made a mental note to correct the names later.
Feeling comforted by his gentle tone, Hermione bit her bottom lip nervously hiding her blush mumbling against her brother's back which Jayden chuckled and decided to speak up "She's just wondering what your name was?" he asked raising his eyebrow at him since he already knows his name.
Marcus snorted "Really Granger? We're being shipped somewhere in the world to live with a family of strangers to hide from dangerous criminals and escaped convicts and that was your question you ask. And to think you're the smartest witch in Hogwarts," he says with a loud scoff leaving her brothers to glare at him while she hides her blush against Jayden's back mumbling 'stupid arse git' in Italian which left Blaise to tilt his head in surprise.
Harry glared "Back the hell off Flint?!" he growled "It would be nice to know what the name of the man who's bringing two escorts to bring us to these strangers," he harshly replied. Snuffles (or known as Padfoot-Sirius) growled at the Slytherin who's been nothing but, rude to his long lost unknown youngest daughter. Hermione however smiled at Harry with a 'thank you,' which he gave a hand squeeze.
The man shook his head "Now, now boys now is not the time to be fighting…" he cleared his throat narrowing at the oldest boy who made an irritated huff looking away "My name is Kingsley Shaklebolt, this is my partner Tobias Ventura who's the oldest brother of Hermione, Jayden, and Cameron with five more siblings in America. Ben, Ariel and Aqua who are twins and then the youngest bunch who are also twins Elias and Evie who came along who are now hiding just like you are except they left very early then you kids," he explained.
"Ventura I thought you said your name was Black why use Ventura?" Cedric accused at his friends.
"Like we said it's a loooooooooooong story so can we get a move on already," Cameron who looked irritated at this leaving Toby to nod at this.
"Yes, yes we'll talk about that later… anyone before I forget I'm the head of the Auror department. We as in Remus, Tobias and myself will be taking you to Forks, Washington since Remus insisted that he comes along with us he's a stubborn fool but, I respect his decision," Kingsley informed, looking thru his pockets.
Hermione stirred a little hearing this "Wait…" leaving everyone to stop to turn to the girl "Did you just say Forks, Washington," she says sleepily.
"Yes that would be correct Miss. Black it was your brother's idea," Kingsley insisted looking thru his pockets without looking up.
"Really," Hermione perked up rapidly wide away leaving her brothers to chuckle.
"Yes beach really," Toby smirked knowing how she missed her cousins and friends back at home.
"So we're seeing uncle Billy and uncle Charlie, Sammy, Leahbee, Jacob and Sethy too," Hermione perked up leaving Toby to nod at this and before he can answer Cedric decided to speak up with a disbelief look on his face.
"Washington," Cedric asked in disbelief "As in… America… the United States of America… that place that's like across the country. How the blo-" he starts to say noticing both Hermione and Luna giving him a stern icy cold look as he shifted uncomfortable coughing awkwardly "I-I mean … how exactly are we going to get there?" he asked leaving the girls to nod in approval at this.
"Yes that would be correct Mr. Diggory," Kingsley said as he finally pulled out a pocket watch after he said 'ah ha got you little bugger' comment clearing his throat, as you can tell it was a bit old because of the mental being rustled while the screen was badly cracked "Most groups are evacuating England as we speak so you're not the only ones who are also leaving England as we are," he says "With this pocket watch and before you ask it's not just any pocket watch it's our port key and once it's activates it will take us to our destination once it's touch. Are you guys ready?" he asked.
"As we'll ever be," Draco mumbled leaving Blaise nodded at this along with the others from his right.
"What about our stuff?" Jayden asked.
"They'll be there at the owner's house by the time you arrive little brother," Toby smirked.
Jayden was about to protest but, nodded where Kingsley spoke up "Now then would you place a finger on the pocket watch. It should be activating at any moment," Everyone scurried to put a finger on the pocket watch. Hermione gave Harry and her brothers a nervous look while holding tight towards her big brother Jayden who steadied her tightly against his back and before either of them can say anything the watch glowed brightly and suddenly he felt like he was flying, spinning around out of control. He heard Hermione screamed in fright she held onto her big brother Jayden close while he felt his grasp on the watch slowly slipping and tried to hold on tightly but, his attempt failed and soon he was thrown into the air. He hit on something soft while the mystery person groaned in pain. Looking around he saw the others who were also sprawled on the ground except Kingsley, Toby, Cameron, Remus and Sirius (in amungus form a black dog) barked happily at him, who was standing on his left looking like he hasn't went thru a crazy flight.
"Bloody hell Potter get the hell off of me," Draco growled which pushed him to the ground groaning in pain.
"Why don't you watch it Malfoy since you're the one who fell on top of me," Harry growled at him.
"Now, now no fighting boys," Kingsley intervened between the boys "Come, come we have to keep moving. Come along kids," he says.
"I'm not a bloody kid," Draco grumbled under his breath wiping off the dirt off his robes.
Hermione rubbed the back of her head as she sat up while Jay was on the ground. She had banged her head pretty hard on the ground with a rough landing. She looked around and noticed there were surrounded by trees. The mustn't have landed in the woods but, which part of the woods she wondered she wasn't sure. Suddenly a hand entered her vision and Hermione looked up into the indigo eyes of Blaise Zabini. She stared at him in surprise blinking her eyes dumbly before she took his hand, allowing him to help her stand.
"You alright..." he asked in a low tone.
"I am ... thanks Zabini..." she says; he just nodded at this before walking to Draco who gave him a weird look.
Jay got up with the help of both Toby and Cameron who wiped off the dirt of their robes while Hermione walked over to where Harry was and helped him stand while Dean went to help up Luna who twirled around the woods which left him to shake his head towards the girl not that he has a problem with her or anything but, knew she loved the woods he can just tell.
"How'd you land so perfectly?" Marcus sneered at the men.
Kingsley laughed "Years and years of practice my dear boy... " he says leaving Marcus to scowl "If you will follow me the house isn't too far away," with that, Kingsley turned right and started to walk thru the woods.
"Do you recognize this place cookie?" Toby grinned at this.
"It does look familiar… it's almost like I been here a few times before…" Hermione bit her bottom lip staring at the trees almost like she was memorized by it.
"One-word cookie…La Push," Toby smirked "We're in LaPush woods,"
Hermione looked at her older brother widen her eyes "No way?!" she rapidly got up leaving him to nod at this "You're kidding!" leaving him to shook his head 'no' revealing a small smile at this "No way we're actually in LaPush woods near uncle Billy's house?!" she squealed who got up from Jayden's back by jumping up and down leaving the rest of the group to turn to her curious what got her so happy all of a sudden.
"I'm totally serious," Toby smirked rubbing his chin "In fact…" grinning madly at this "Uncle Billy, our parents and the others should be waiting for us by the bonfire cookie," he explained.
Hermione screamed and squealed happily that left her do her happy dance and used her air guitar moment that left the others completely startled by her sudden behavior doing some odd moon dance against the ground until she noticed the others were staring at her with raise eyebrows especially Harry who kept gaping at her like a fish then cleared her throat, getting up from the ground and before either of them can ask she dragged poor Harry and Dean by the arm leaving them to yelp in shock not far behind her while Kingsley and the others followed suit with curious looks turning to Auror Toby who shrugged his shoulders casually.
"We grew up here," Toby answered "She's just very excited to see our cousins, our parents along with our family who aren't aware we came here early then planned,"
"Ah… that would explain so much," Kingsley nodded at this "So I'm guessing their stuff are at your uncles then?"
"Yes pretty much but, uh since our uncle Billy doesn't have enough room we're going to stay in our vacation house, our parents bought it when they were in hiding in January. So it's pretty much under our name now," Toby grinned leaving Kingsley to nod at this looking around the woods "This place is completely perfect to hide trust me Kings, it's a small town so nothing bad every happens here," he explained.
"It's good to be home…" Jayden comments.
"Yes, yes it is it's been so long since we been here," Cameron comments.
"I can't wait to see the look on both Ariel and Aqua's face when they see cookie," Toby pats on both his brothers on the back grinning madly at this.
"It's a good thing I got my camera," Cameron smirked leaving Toby and Jay to laugh out at this.
A few feet away from the group Harry and Dean were continued to be dragged away from Hermione from her strong grip.
"Mione slow down!" Harry yelled in the background after finally caught up with her and let's go of Dean's arm and stops in the middle of the woods leaving both boys to bump into her with an 'oomph' and noticed that she's taking off her robes then passed it to Harry who mumbled over the robes until he finally got a way to find out to find her to put her hair up then looked around for a second then she started to climb the trees as if it was perfect natural for her.
"Mione we need to talk about this and-what are you doing?" Harry asked confuse at his best friend sudden odd behavior; she continued to climb all the way to the top as she made an irritated huff from the strain of her hair in the front and continued to climb from branch to branch.
"I know we need to talk Harry but, as you can see I'm climbing the tree to get a better look," Hermione muffled at this
Before Harry can answer Toby widen his eyes in horror "Hermione Sapphire Lilian Jean Black you get down here right now don't make me go after you," he scolded at her squinting his eyes "And what the bloody hell are you wearing? Where are your robes" gaping at her?
"Harry has my robes Toby," she answered.
Toby looked at Harry who was currently carrying the robes of Hermione's and before they say anything she continued to talk "And Harry would you be a sweetie and pass my robes to my big brother Toby thank youuuuuuuuuuu," she says playfully at her best friend.
"Not until we talk?" Harry huffed at this.
"We will talk about this later Harry. James Potter," Hermione scolded him.
"No we will talk about this now considering I didn't even know you are adopted or have siblings to begin with Hermione Sapphire Lilian Jean Black," Harry challenged her back.
Hermione blankly stared at her best friend and sighed "Honestly Harry it was to protect you," she huffed at this.
"What do you mean protect me, protect me from what?" Harry asked angrily at this.
"We can't talk here in the open Harry it's too dangerous," Hermione answered and jumped from another tree to another.
"Well when are you going to talk about this then and why didn't you just tell me this I could've been here for you to support you for whatever reason it was?" Harry demanded at this.
"As soon as the coast is clear obviously and then we'll talk okay end of this discussion Harry James Potter," Hermione snorted in a distance.
Harry sighed "Fine but, don't think we're done with this conversation missy," Harry huffed and passed Hermione's robes to Toby who folded the robes and put inside his backpack which had an undetectable charm inside thanks to Hermione's spell.
"Thanks Harry," Toby answered leaving Harry to nod at this 'no problem,' mumbling something under his breath in disbelief then trying to look for his sister.
"Wait a minute… " Harry began to say realizing something looking for Hermione and found her about to jump from the 4th tree a few feet away from him "Why are you even climbing trees for I thought you were scared of heights," he asked.
"I am not afraid of heights," Hermione huffed stubbornly leaving Harry to give her 'really and who are you because the real Hermione would've screamed her head off?' look that he took off his robes and started to climb the trees too but, unfortunately he failed to do because of his shoes and made a huff.
"Here Dean hold this would you?" Harry asked.
Dean nodded at this as Harry tried to climb the trees again but, failed miserably. Poor Harry.
"Mione get down here!" Harry angrily playfully at this.
By the shadows Hermione flips her hair over her shoulder "No,"
"No, what do you mean no,"
"You heard me Harry James Potter I said no,
"You get down here right now Mione,"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"No"
"Yes,"
"No,"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes,"
"No"
"Yes,"
"NO"
"Why not,"
"Because I want to climb trees and if I come down there I won't be able to find out if we're going the right way to my uncle Billy's house and I feel like being up here instead on the ground duhhh,"
Harry gape at his best friend "So you're just going to climb trees randomly by ignoring the fact you hid this big secret from me of all people I thought we were best friends who don't keep secrets from each other and explaining yourself," he explained.
"Pretty much see you," Hermione answered by disappearing deep into the woods once again leaving Harry to sigh in defeat.
"Damn it Hermione slow down!" Harry ran after her while Draco and the others followed suit shaking their heads at this.
"Did Gra-" Draco spoke up after hearing an awkward conversation between Potter (Harry) and Granger well Black (Hermione) after failing to explain herself even though he's also a bit conflicted by this and shifted uncomfortable when he noticed three of her brothers (Toby, Jayden and Cameron) glowering their eyes angrily at him and snorted ignoring their looks "Leave it to Granger to climb trees when we're in the middle of nowhere and what is she a flying monkey," he sarcastically replied.
"You can say that," Hermione says as her body was upside down as her legs was hanging on from one of the tree branches as she was in front of him leaving Drama to scream like a girl 'ahhh' tripping on his own two feet leaving the others to snicker then she turned her body to continue to jump from tree to tree once again leaving Blaise to stare at the girl with this amuse look on his face.
"Bloody hell don't do that Granger?!" Draco harshly replied putting his hand against his chest feeling his heart pounding rapidly at this.
"Actually it's Black," Hermione answered turning Draco who screamed like a girl again "And stop swearing honestly," she says who continued to jump from tree to tree once again.
"Ha, ha very funny Granger," Draco grumbles.
"I told you my last name is Black," Hermione plainly says.
"Yeah right and pigs will come flying out of my butt," Draco grumbled which left Harry was out of breath which Toby waved his wand to give him a glass of water which he gave a thankful look until he calm down and stared at Malfoy oddly for some reason.
"What Potter," Draco demanded at this.
"Nothing, nothing…" Harry sighed at this who saw his best friend swinging around the tree laughing freely at this "Seriously Mione of all the places in the world since when are you this wild in the woods considering we're in the middle of nowhere?" he asked noticing his best friend is swinging herself back and forth upside down
"Oh I'm just hanging around Harry and in case you haven't heard it's my home town," Hermione grinned at this.
"Will you please come down here so we can talk before you give your brothers and Malfoy get a heart attack," Harry pleaded at this.
"Nah I don't feel like it," Hermione shrugged and disappeared deep into the woods leaving Harry can protest Hermione comes out of nowhere giving Draco another startled heart attack and screamed like a girl again "Ahhhh damn it to hell Granger STOP DOING THAT!?" he harshly yelled at her.
Hermione poked her tongue at him "You're not the boss of me Malfoy and in case you haven't noticed this is my home town. And you really need to stop screaming like a girl people think would think your crazy," she grins leaving him to stare at him with a weird odd look "And I feel bad for those piglets why would they want to come out of your butt, that's just terrible," smacking him on the head which he yelped glaring at him then grins "Later Malfoy," and swung herself up and jumped to another tree.
"How the bloody-" Draco scowls "I'll show her," grumbling under his breath taking off his robes leaving Toby, Jayden and Cameron to give him an icy glare expression and stopped since he felt a bit uncomfortable from their stares so he just kept on walking grumbling while Hermione was climbing to tree to tree the others followed not far behind while her older brothers just shook her head knowing how wild she can be especially when it climbs the trees and hoped she wouldn't give their sister a heart attack when she learns this.
"Hermione Sapphire Lilian Jean Black will you please get down here? You're going to end up being lost in these woods," Jayden pleaded at this.
"No,"
"No, what do you mean no,"
"No I don't want to be on the ground I'm fine at the trees here thank you very much,"
"And why would you want to be in the trees for. What are you a flying monkey? You haven't climbed trees since you were 7 years old," Cameron pointed out.
"Well as you can see Seth helped me face my fears of heights," Hermione huffed.
"Seth? As it Seth Clearwater he was only a toddler when you first met him how can he help you face your fears?" Cameron asked.
"No not him I'm talking about Seth Patterson, Jax half-brother honestly keep up," Hermione huffed at this.
Cameron gape at her "SETH PATTERSON SINCE WHEN DID YOU TWO WENT OUT?!" he harshly replied.
Hermione sighed at this "We been dating from the past year which was mutual break up between us and decided to be friends honestly keep up Cam-Cam," she tutted to herself and moving around the trees laughing madly crazy leaving the others to gape at her with 'who is this girl' look until they heard a dog bark almost like he was laughing at this which Harry noticed.
"Snuffles it's not funny," Harry pouted at this.
Remus chuckled at this turning to Jayden "So … you're adopted huh?" he started a conversation at this.
Jayden nodded at this "I wouldn't say we're adopted per say… more like … our adopted parents are actually our aunt and uncle… "he casually replied at this.
"What do you mean aunt and uncle?" Harry asked who just happened to overhear this.
"Well apparently our adopted parents are really Caleb McGonagall and Aaliyah McGonagall 'nee Black our uncle Billy's older sister and our birth father Sirius cousin," Cameron pointed out.
"C-Caleb and A-Aaliyah," Remus choked at this.
"Yes sir," Toby nodded at this.
"I thought they were dead…" Remus whispered.
"That's what they want people to think apparently they been in hiding with different names where aunt Lily modified their memories under a false name Daniel 'Dan' and Emma Granger knowing that Voldemort-"Toby began to say leaving others to flinch which he ignored this "Would find them knowing how close our birth father Sirius and uncle James were," he explained.
"So Lily was the one who modified their memories then how did you find out the truth then?" Remus asked curiously.
"Well… it was during last summer in August … which our twin sisters Ariel and Aqua birthday who was turning 18 … it started when Ariel started to have odd dreams about her childhood with the rest of us …we were playing in the play room with our siblings. Hermione was only 2 years old at the time playing with Harry. At first she didn't think of it serious until she felt a de ja vu when she went inside the Black manor … it was Sirius childhood home… she felt she's been there before but, couldn't understand why … that's when Aqua came to help because apparently she felt the same de ja vu like she did. From there they started to research until our parents well adopted parents came home. They seemed nervous about something … Ariel asked what was wrong at the time I was at work when Ariel called me to come home so I went on my day off when my parents were acting more nervous then before… that's when they explained that we're adopted…sort of and we didn't talk for awhile until I went back home and told them that I'll hear them out and from there they told us the truth… that was until Hermione, Jayden and Cameron came home in Christmas break with the rest of us… where our parents told them the truth. Hermione didn't take the news very well… it took her awhile to calm down and once they explained to her that she couldn't tell Harry until the coast was clear because they felt that 'you know who' was coming back they didn't believe he was dead like others tend to believe so our parents told them," Toby explained.
Remus grew quiet "What did you say your birth mother name was?" he asked.
"Selene. Selena Anastasia Vivian Black 'nee Lupin, youngest sister to Remus John Lupin which is you professor," Jayden mumbled at this.
"Selene… was your birth mother…" Remus teared up taking a deep breath "No wonder you four smelled familiar… your Sirius kids… aren't you…it would explain so much if Lily modified your aunt and uncle … and hide you kids … If I knew years ago that you were alive this whole time … I would've took you guys in…I'm so sorry…" he hoarse.
"It's not your fault… aunt Aaliyah knew it would've been rough for you to gain custody to us due to your 'wolf' problem which is fine Professor… we get it," Cameron assured him.
Remus nodded at this "D-do you know if she-" he began to say where Toby gave a small smile "From what I been told … from aunt Aaliyah she was murdered from 'you know who' before she can even save her … that's when aunt Aaliyah and uncle Caleb took us in by hiding us under a muggle name … Mia was only 2 years old …when we had to witness aunt Lily's murder in front of us …" he explained.
"Witness Lily's murder…" Remus paled at this.
Toby nodded at this "Yeah … apparently Mia is a very powerful witch that she can apparate to Harry's room in a very young age we're not really sure that tends to happen but, aunt Aaliyah had a theory that she's just very protective with Harry without being detected and when she did we were there with her … aunt Lily wasn't surprised by this and when we heard uncle James for aunt Lily to take Harry to run … she hide us quickly to be quiet and that's when … Voldemort and her got in a battle begging him to spare her son's Harry life but, he wouldn't budge… and murdered her to stand out of the way… and we all know how that turned out…" he explained.
"I see… I can't imagine how horrible that is …" Remus whispered as he looked down at Sirius form who held his tears knowing he's heartbroken, hurt and very proud knowing that he just lost the love of his life, his wife and youngest sister to Remus who fought back to protect their children no doubt. It was in her blood after all.
"Me too… I'm just … sad that we couldn't do anything to save dad if we knew the truth sooner," Cameron mumbled at this.
"I'm sure he wouldn't blame you," Remus assured him.
"Yeah maybe…" Jayden mumbled at this.
While Hermione was jumping from tree to tree she overheard what her estrange uncle Remus, her god father talking to her older brothers who explained the situation. Her siblings knew how wild she can be when it comes with the woods and climbed trees for a living as a child and had a feeling she'd give both her twin older sisters a heart attack when they learned this but, will be a bit amuse by this.
That's when Jayden made an announcement "Cookie I'm going after you," then apparate with a 'pop' leaving the others to gape at him then heard a girl squeak down the road from them.
"Jay don't do that," Hermione scolded her.
"Serves her right for popping in and out acting like a total monkey," Marcus grumbled at this.
Everyone who overheard him rolling his eyes and silently agreed with him considering this is the first time they ever saw Hermione Granger (a.k.a. Hermione Sapphire Lilian Jean Black) 2nd cousin to Draco Malfoy wild side when they all know her as a book worm, goody good two shoes, know-it-all etc.
"Don't you take that tone with me young lady," Jayden crossed his arms tapping his foot against the tree branch then noticed he's gaping at her "Mia those shorts are too short and that tang top is showing off your stomach and-"squinting his eyes at her lower back considering her hair was up in a high pony tail "Is that a tattoo you are wayyyyyyyyyy too young to get a tattoo," he exclaimed.
