Hope you like it. I don't own anything.
Hogwarts, first of September
While standing at the top of the stairs, Minerva looked at the newly arrived first years. She was happy to see that Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley were standing next to each other, apparently they had made friends. Looking at the rest, she saw Hermione standing a little by herself. Again she could swear she knew does eyes.
After introducing herself and holding her speech, she took them to the great hall.
"When I call your name, you will come and sit down while I put the Sorting Hat on your head." Minerva said while picking up the Sorting Hat from its place on the stool.
"Hermione Granger."
Hermione walked up to the stool, feeling very nervous.
"So, were should I put you?" the Hat said. "You're very smart, but you also like to take risks. Your mothers were from two very different houses."
"My mothers?" Hermione interrupted. "You know who my parents are?"
While Hermione walked to the table, she couldn't stop wondering about what the Sorting Hat had told her. She decided that she would wait until she was settled in before starting her investigation.
When everybody was Sorted and Minerva had put the Hat and stool away, Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. First I would like to make a few announcements before we can eat. First off, the Forbidden Forest is still forbidden for everybody. Next, the third floor corridor on the west side of the castle is forbidden for everybody who doesn't want to die a very painful dead. Now let the feast begin." And with that, every table filed itself with food.
Later that night, Minerva and Albus sat in his office talking. "Albus, I have a feeling that I somehow know Miss Granger from somewhere. Those eyes are so familiar."
"And you don't have any idea?"
"No, otherwise I wouldn't tell you about it."
The next week went by without anything much happening. Hermione was settling in to a routine nicely. Although, being the know-it-all, she was having a lot of difficulty making new friends. Also the mention of her parents by the Hat was still sitting in the back of her mind.
Saturday morning came and Hermione decided to go see the Headmaster and ask him if he knew something. He was after all The Albus Dumbledore. Walking up to the gargoyle, she realised that she didn't know the password. As she was about to turn around disappointedly she heard somebody walking towards her.
"Miss Granger, can I help you with something?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I was wondering if I could ask the headmaster something, but when I came here, I realised I didn't have a password, so the gargoyle wouldn't let me in."
"Well, since I'm going to see the headmaster myself, why don't you come up with me?"
"Yes, thank you, Professor."
Professor Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk looking over some letters when he heard a knock on his door. Looking up, he saw Professor McGonagall and Hermione walking in. "Ladies, what can I do for you today?" he asked.
"I came here to see if you were interested in a game of chess." Minerva said. "When I came to the
gargoyle, I found Miss Granger. She wanted to speak to you but didn't have the password."
"First, next time you want to see me, Miss Granger, and you don't have the password just ask the gargoyle to alert me. Next, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Well, during the Sorting Ceremony, the Sorting Hat said something to me, and I was hoping you could help me with it."
"Well, why don't I leave you alone? Albus, I will see you later today. Good day, Miss Granger." Whit that, Minerva walked out the door.
"Now, Hermione, why don't you sit down and tell me what's troubling you?"
"The Hat said something about my parents, about them being in completely different houses. Since I don't know who my parents are, I was wondering if you could maybe help me, Professor."
"Well, to be honest with you, the Hat already told me that. And I think that your parents were from Slytherin and Gryffindor. Also, you have two mothers and no father."
"The Hat told me that. I'm just confused. How can two women have a child?"
"There are ways for a women to transfigure the parts needed for impregnating another women. You would however need at least a level 3 in transfiguration."
"okay, do you know who my parents are?"
"No, but there is a way for us to find out. I have a suspicion, however. In order for us to find out, we would need a potion, and we would need to have your parents in the room. If one of your mothers is in the room when you drink it, you will walk to them and nothing you do will stop you."
"But, I have no idea who they even could be!"
"That is where my suspicion comes in. The problem only is that they believe you're dead. You see, I think your birthmother put your dead in scene. It would probably be very dangerous for you if some people know your alive, that is, if my suspicion is correct. That is also why it will take a little longer for the potion to be ready, because I don't want to have to many people know what we are doing."
"Okay. Can you at least tell me who you think my mothers are?"
"No. First I want to talk to them to ask if it is alright with them. Because they could also refuse. Not that I think they will."
The next episode may take a little longer. I have exams coming up so I don't have much time for writing.
