I am not sure who the pairing will be for Hermione yet; I can't choose between my fave ships; it's going to be either Draco, Snape or Kingsley in this one, as Sirius isn't in this story. - if you like Ron or Ginny, you will not like this story as I am not nice to them, let alone Molly.

Enjoy the story, guys, and don't forget to comment, like and follow :)

Also, write who you think Hermione should pair with within a review or Poll.

Draco looked up when he heard a groan from the sofa and watched as Hermione shot up. "Whoa, steady on."

Hermione looked up and around in shock. "What the hell, what happened."

Draco chuckled. "Well, I would say you fell asleep, Mia, but it's okay, the twins are still asleep, and I've been here the entire time you've been asleep about an hour; I was actually about to wake you."

Hermione groaned and rubbed at her eyes. "Thank you." She then grimaced and summoned her pain potion, and with a wrinkled nose, she drank the elixir. "Gross, they need to add peppermint to their potions."

Draco snorted. "Well, I don't know about others, but I wouldn't say that to Severus. He purposefully refuses to use peppermint in them."

Hermione chuckled, "I may be brave, Draco but not suicidal." She sighed and got up. "I best get the twins ready. Merlin knows I don't want this meeting to drag any longer than It has to."

"Hey, It'll be okay; I promise I'll be there to support you."

Hermione bit her lip slightly ''Actually, do you think…shoulditellharry.''

"Say that again but slower." He said, chuckling.

Hermione took a deep breath. "Do you think I should give Harry a heads up and explain to him before the meeting? Perhaps I could explain briefly, and then at least the main people are aware."

Draco smiled. "I think you should speak to Pott-Harry before the meeting. The more support, the better, especially against some others."

Hermione knew just who Draco was referring to and grimaced a little she wasn't sure how Ron would take it, but he wasn't going to be happy. "Yes, there is that also." She decided to put in a quick floo call to Dumbledore to suggest calling Harry beforehand

"I think that would be a good idea, Hermione. Perhaps you should also have Nymphadora and Remus, as you are already godmother to little Teddy."

Hermione bit her lip and knew he was right. "Okay, we will do that. Could you ask them to come, please I'll get the twins ready and head up to the office with Draco, if that is okay, before we all head down for the meeting?"

"that's perfect. I shall send off Fawkes to Harry now."

"Thank you, Albus", and the call was cut. "Right then, best go get the kids up and ready."

"No problem, I'm ready anyways, just waiting on you." He said, holding up the book he was still holding in his hand.

Twenty minutes later saw Hermione standing with the twins. "Okay, so we are going to see Albus now, and you will meet three important people; to me, they are like family, and you will love them, and they will love you both too."

''What's their name.'' Seren asked curiously.

"Well, first you will meet Harry Potter, then you will meet Remus and his wife Tonks and their little boy Teddy who I am godmother to."

"Cool, can we play with him," Hunter said, smiling in hope?

Hermione smiled. "Sorry darling, Teddy is still only little and won't be able to play. He is the only one. You pair are older than him, but you can entertain him, I'm sure."

"Wicked." They said, smiling.

"Come on then, let's get a move on." And Hermione bent down, picking up Hunter and smiled when Seren held her arms up for Draco. She nodded when he looked at her.

"Come on, squirt, let's go." He said quickly, picking Seren up as they left the common room and headed for the headmaster's office.

Albus smiled when the fire flared and outstepped the three people. "Excellent. Sorry about the secrecy, but it's important."

Harry immediately looked for Hermione. "What's wrong with Mione." He said, panicking ''She's not relapsed.'' He said, the fear gripping him.

Albus smiled. "Relax, Harry, she is doing okay, but something happened earlier today, and it has seen Hermione's life change in more ways than one, and she wants to discuss it with you before we have the Order meeting. I hope you will keep an open mind and listen before speaking or asking questions, it's been quite tough on her, and she will need your support."

"Of course, Albus, we will do all we can to help her."

"Wowcher, I hope it's nothing too serious." She said. "Luckily, I didn't bring Teddy. Don't want him interrupting over conversation god knows Teddy wouldn't be able to help himself seeing Mione."

Harry laughed. "He does love her. I'd say I was jealous if I didn't agree with him." Harry grinned. "She will make a great Mum. I mean, she was Mum to us while in school."

Remus nodded. "Hmm, she does seem to have a high patience level if dealing with you pair all these years hasn't driven her mad."

Harry grinned again. "Well, I think it came close, but she still kept us in line despite us making it hard on her sometimes."

"Ah, they have arrived."

Harry, Remus and Tonks looked up, seeing Hermione entering holding a boy that looked similar to her, followed by Draco holding a girl. They were shocked but immediately concerned by the look on her face. "Draco," Harry said, slightly startled but having no issues with him anymore. They had even started becoming friends. He then looked at Hermione closer and saw how exhausted she was. "Mione, are you okay? Sit down quickly." He rushed over, guiding her to the sofa. He watched as Draco placed the girl on her lap so she was now holding two children.

"I'm fine, Harry, I promise. Don't worry; I have taken my potion." She soothed him and watched as Harry took the seat opposite her and Draco. She then looked at the twins. "Why don't you go and see Fawkes? He would love some company."

Albus smiled. "You can feed him as well if you like. He does love a good feed. I have some parchment here for you."

Hermione watched the twins run over and cast a one-way spell so they could hear the twins, but they wouldn't listen to them. "I don't know where to begin."

"Uh, the beginning would be good." Harry teased.

Hermione nodded and launched into her explanation of what the headmaster had informed her about being adopted.

"Blimey, that is a lot to take in," Tonks said, shaking her head. "So, do you know who your parents are yet?"

Hermione nodded and bit her lip slightly. "My birth mother was called Christina, and my Father Richard O'Donnell." She trailed off, wondering if the name would register, yet she watched Draco gasp.

"No way."

"Uh, explain for the dumb ones." Harry chuckled.

Draco looked at them, stunned. "The O'Donnell family are one of the purest families out there. They are descendants of Merlin." He shook his head. "No wonder why they put you and your sister up for adoption. The Dark Lord wouldn't have stopped till you were gone for good. No offence, he loathed that family more than anything else, probably more than Harry."

"You have a sister," Remus said, shocked, unable to help himself.

Hermione nodded. "Had." She trailed off sadly. "She was murdered two days ago, leaving behind the twins, Hunter and Seren. They are four, and I am their sole guardian. It was left in her will. She knew of me. Albus had been keeping her informed, and she worked as an unspeakable and helped the Order." She told them, "The problem I have is, well, the twins were there when she was killed and witnessed it all the entire thing. They've not spoken about it yet, but it's traumatised them, and now that has painted a target on them, as the Aurors turned up before they could go after the twins."

Tonks had tears in her eyes. "Oh, the poor things; I assume they were with the child services."

Hermione nodded. "I thought I was going to have to leave Hogwarts and buy a home for us, but Albus spoke to Kingsley, and it's been sorted so I can keep the kids here with me. I have my suit as I'm playing Head girl again, and Draco is playing head boy, so Albus added an extra room for the twins. Dobby asked if he could look after them for me, so I agreed if that's all right." She said, looking at Harry, knowing how the elf was attached to Harry.

Harry got up and sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her. "Of course, it's okay. You can also have Kreacher if you like. He was asking about you not long ago. I'm sure while we're at Hogwarts, he will happily help Dobby."

Hermione couldn't help but bury her head into his shoulder, letting some tears fall. She was overwhelmed; her sobs got the attention of the twins.

"Aunt Mi, are you okay," Hunter asked, upset.

"Are the bad people coming?" Came Serens scared voice

Hermione immediately lifted her head to comfort the twins. "No, no, you are both safe. I promise no one will ever hurt you. No one will be taking me anywhere. I promise on my magic. I was just a little sad, that's all, but I'm better now." She smiled at them. "Do you want to meet some very special people?"

The twins nodded and looked around. "Okay," they said bravely.

Hermione smiled. "This is Harry, and your Uncle Remus and Tonks are on the opposite chairs." She said smiling ''Guys these are—''

"My name is Seren, and I'm four."

"And I'm Hunter." He said proudly from beside his sister as he introduced himself.

"Does that mean you're my uncle, like Draco," Seren asked hopefully?

Harry grinned. "Of course, your two are stuck with me. Your aunty Hermione is my sister, as she is the only family I have." He watched as the twins smiled at him

Tonks also grinned. "And you can call me aunty Tonks if you call this one Uncle Remus."

"What about the baby," Hunter asked shyly.

"I told them about Teddy. They were gutted he wasn't older, but they were just as excited. I told them they could help keep him entertained."

Remus smiled softly. "Well, Teddy is your little cousin, and I am sure he will love playing with you both when he is a little bit older."

"Awesome." They high-fived each other.

"Soo is there anything else we need to know before the meeting," Tonks asked, noticing the girl fidgeting.

Hermione bit her lip, but with a nod from Dumbledore, she nodded, "Okay, there is something else. However, I don't want any of the others knowing not till I've decided what to do and had time for it all to sink in."

''Okay, what's up.'' Harry said gently.

Hermione looked at them all. "Draco is correct. The O'Donnell's come from Merlin. However, that's not all." She took a deep breath. "My mother is a direct descendent of Ravenclaw and Slytherin, which means."

"Bloody hell." Draco jumped in his seat "you're the last of those lines and the twins, but more so you, so your name legally would be Lady Hermione O'Donnell Slytherin-Ravenclaw." He shook his head. "I suppose If you took Merlin's surname, you'd be Emmerys too."

"Surname," Tonks said, shocked.

Hermione nodded" It is said his name at birth was Myrddin Wyllt. It was a druid name, and he took it from his place of birth, Caer-Fyrddin, in Carmarthen. He was called Merlin due to people taking it from the Latin version of his name Myrddin. He is originally Welsh, so he was called Emerys or Ambrosia, but that's all I know of that."

Harry was surprised. "So who was, um, Arthur and Morgana." He had heard their names when he was in school.

"Morgana Pendragon was an Illegitimate child and the oldest half-sister to Arthur through her paternal family. It is said she was Merlin's friend and even apprenticed with him. She hated Arthurs's wife and later became Merlin's Arch-Nemesis, but I don't know if that's true. Plus, no one can confirm if King Arthur existed, though some speculate that he was a real warrior who led British armies against Saxon invaders in the 6th century."

"But there is a King Arthur, right," Remus asked.

Hermione nodded. "There is a real King Arthur in Britain. The Queen's grandson, William, has Arthur as a middle name. But nothing and no one can confirm or agree if Arthur Pendragon was a real person."

"Core Blimey, so you are probably Wizarding Royalty."

Albus looked serious. "She is indeed royalty, Merlin enchanted grounds and blessed them, and later the founders built the School on the sacred ground, and as she is the true heir to two of the main founders, not to mention Merlin, creator of the wizarding world she owns Hogwarts and the wizarding world more importantly if she were to take the names and titles she would become the owner of the ministry she controls the wizarding world and all that belongs to it." He shook his head. "Young Draco is correct; Voldemort would have done anything to wipe the last of the family line."

"But Riddle was heir."

Albus shook his head. "He was one of them but not the true heir. He was a descendent of Slytherin but not close like Hermione is."

Draco nodded. "He was never able to gain entry to Slytherin Castle nor everything in the chamber. He said he believed there was a room or suite or office that belonged to Salazar Slytherin but never saw one, so dismissed it as a rumour." He then looked at the headmaster. "If this gets out before it's done correctly and with plenty of preparation." He said worriedly

"I agree; we don't know who killed poor Sophia yet nor why she was hunted for so long."

Harry paled, "There are still Death Eaters out there."

Albus nodded gravely. "There is which would also put her at risk."

Hermione sighed. "I'm not sure I want to claim all the titles yet, maybe my real surname but not the others, at least until it's safe."

Draco pursed his lips. "You could be safe claiming the Slytherin and Ravenclaw titles. You could put someone in the seats to vote on your behalf. That way, it would be kept secret."

Albus nodded. "I think it would be best if we made a vow to keep it secret."

Draco nodded straight away. "I, Draco Malfoy, swear on my magic that I will never divulge the real identity of Hermione Granger until she says otherwise or I am forced against my will, so mote it be." He cast the lighting charm and sat back. "I'm not taking chances with you, and well, Veritiserum could be used, so I can't swear all my magic if that was ever used and I was asked about it, but since no one will know, I will be fine." He chuckled

"You didn't have to." Hermione began but watched as everyone else made the same vow as Draco. "You guys."

Harry shook his head. "Noting is as important as you, Mione. I couldn't lose you. I can't lose you and won't go through that again. I almost lost you once."

"I agree you have both our support," Remus told him, with Tonks nodding.

''Thank you so much.'' Hermione said truly touched.

"So how much are we telling the Order exactly," Tonks asked, all business-like

"Well, everything except my other surnames. I'll stick to my birth name first."

"Agreed. I suggest we all prepare for the meeting," Albus told them.

Hermione inhaled deeply and squared her shoulders. The essential people knew that's all that mattered" I want to tell Minerva the whole truth though later."

Albus smiled. "Understandable. I'm sure she will be even more protective, however."

Hermione blushed when Harry laughed and said she was the favourite. ; Shut up."
