Chapter two ~ Memories

20 year old Hermione was at 12 Grimmauld Place with her friends after the war took place and she saw a newspaper clipping and so she read it and gasped as it was about a girl who went missing in 1933.

Hermione went upstairs to hers and Ginny's room and out of nowhere a strange necklace that looked unfamiliar yet familiar to Hermione appeared on her dresser and she placed it on and suddenly her memories flowed through her like water and then she came out of the memories and said "Oh my god"!

Hermione then noticed her friend Ginny was in the room, Ginny had long red hair and brown eyes and she said "what is it Mione"?

Hermione looked at Ginny shocked and said "I...I remember".

Ginny looked at her in confusion and said "Remember what Mione"?

Hermione said "My life before the orphanage" She then broke down in tears remembering her birth mother was dead and her grandparents too.

Ginny looked at her friend shocked to discover this and said "Wait you were in an orphanage"?

Hermione smiled and said "Yeah *wipes her tears and goes to the mirror* Oh my god Gin look".

Ginny went to the mirror and saw her friend's once bushy brown hair was now long jet black hair and her eyes were a lighter brown and she said "wow how do we explain this one"?

Harry came into the room and said "Explain whaa...Ginny who is the girl in yours and Mione's room"?

Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry's timing and said "It's me you dunderhead i guess the glamour wore off".

Harry then realized it was his best friend and said "Blimey Hermione you look almost like...well"

Hermione cut Harry off and said "like a Potter yeah i know believe me when i say this it is awkward for me too".

Hermione sighed and said "I was born Hermione Lily-Rose Adriana Hale on the 10th August 1931 i know but let me finish *sighs* when i was two years old i was kidnapped from my grandparents and two uncles Antony and Jack 3 months after my...she then started to cry and Harry said after what Mione"?

Hermione took a deep breath and said "My mom was killed s-she was r-raped and beaten to death by her fiance and his drunken mates"

Ginny placed her hands over her mouth in shock and said "Oh Mione *hugs her* what happened whilst you were kidnapped"?

Hermione continued "The men i now know to be deatheaters removed my memories and sent me here to the future. I ended up in an orphanage in London with no memory of my parents the only thing i could tell them was my name and well i lived there until my 3rd birthday and i was adopted by Selene and David Granger and well Dumbledore found out when he came to see us on my 12th birthday and well he promised to keep it a secret that my last name was changed to Granger".

Ginny hugged her best friend and said "Oh Mione"

Hermione hugged the redhead back and said "The only ones who know are Remus, Tonks, Sirius and was Dumbledore but Minerva and Severus i mean Snape knows too".

Harry then said "So no; telling Ron then"?

Hermione said "Especially Ron he'll only freak out you know how he takes these things he'll accuse me of all sorts and call me a lier"

Ginny said "We know and we also know you aren't and we know you kept it from us because you yourself didn't know the truth up until now"

Harry agreed and said "Do you think your dad's alive"?

Hermione sighed and said "I believe he is not alive Harry because he left my mom when she fell pregnant with me but i believe he did so to protect us and well i believe that is where i got half of my magic from".

Hermione then said "I'm going to go to Rochester, New York to see what i can find out i mean i don't know much but i have my memories and well i have an instinct that's telling me my mom isn't dead as everyone believed she was".

Ginny said "Why go there Mione"?

Hermione explained "Well i was born in Rochester, New York and besides maybe i can find out where my grandparents are buried and pay my respects to them".

Harry nodded and said "Okay fair enough"

Hermione decided to give them an extra surprise and said "By the way i will use my Auror's license if needed or if i get in trouble".

Harry and Ginny looked at their friend and Ginny said "You have an Auror's license since when"?

Hermione began to explain "Since summer of 5th year *sighs* my uncle Harrison who is my adoptive mum's brother is an auror and he trained me as one himself after he saw i had the skills to be one. Only the Auror department and the minister of magic knew at the time".

Harry said "Wow so i presume Kingsley knows this"?

Hermione smiled and said "Yup he does know"

Hermione packed some of her things into her backpack and she cast an undetectable extension charm on the bag so she could fit other things she thinks she may need like books and a few potions and she asked them both to cover for her but as she was about to leave Remus said "where prey tell are you going Snowdrop"?

Hermione explained to the old werewolf "Mooney i need to go to Rochester, New York to see if i can find out any more information on my mother i mean my instincts are telling me she's still alive somewhere".

Remus had short graying sandy blonde hair and brown eyes and said "Aah i take it you got your memories back then"?

Hermione smiled and said "Yeah i did and i feel happy i did but Mooney i need to do this".

Harry turned to the werewolf and asked "Remus is she allowed to; use her Aurors license if she gets in trouble"?

Remus looked at Hermione and said "Oh good you told them *smiles* well Harry she is allowed to seems as how the Aurors of our world are the equivalent to the muggle police officers".

Hermione smiled "See Harry"

Remus said "Do you want us to tell Molly and the others you had a family emergency"?

Hermione sighed with relief and said "Well yes because it is the truth that'll help me grately"

Harry smiled at his friend and said "Then we will tell Molly and the others just that".
