Chapter 5: Revelation

It was only the same evening that the vision could resume but this time in live. They were done with the past of the young woman, as tumultuous and filled as it is. Hermione seemed to have lived so much at such a young age. Although she was fourteen, she had already had to deal with death far too many times. Regina enjoyed seeing her daughter evolve before her eyes, giving her the impression of being at her side. She seemed to be happy to attend this event and her biological mother could not help but wince when she saw that Malfoy was there too.

"I feel like you do not like that boy so much!" Laughs Robin.

"Seeing his behaviour towards my daughter makes me want to kill him."

"And yet, and I'm the devil's lawyer, maybe it's more his father who should be blamed. Look with Cora!"

"Despite the childhood that my mother gave me, it was only once I lost Daniel that I really abandoned myself to evil. But this boy agrees with his father and follows his example."

"Regina is not wrong Robin," Snow added. "If Daniel was not dead, Regina would never finish as a Evil-Queen."

Robin knew that he was at a disadvantage because of Snow's support for Regina, so it was better to let it go for the moment. They then returned to the match that was taking place in front of them between Bulgaria and Ireland. All were absorbed by the action and the speed of the exchanges. The end approached quickly and everyone thought they would go to bed when the Death Eaters attacked. Regina got up in one go and wanted to get out of the city to rescue her daughter, but she did not know exactly where it was going. It was killing her to do nothing.

You could see the panic between everyone present that night. People jostled each other and clashed. Hermione remained surrounded by the Weasley family but soon they were also separated. The young witch found her soon after Harry, still looking shocked by what was happening. A man had intervened and marked the sky with a skull and a snake. They were surrounded by what appeared to be some sort of police. At one second, Hermione, Harry, and Ron finished grilled. After this passage that put the hearts of the wizards and the heart of Regina to the test, it was time to go to bed.

The next day, Regina was circling the city and it was three times that she added sugar to her coffee without realizing that she had already put some. Her mind was too worried about Hermione. Emma found her then, noticing her look. We had to act where Regina was going to end up wasting.

"Why don't we go get her?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"I'm clear for once, we could get out of the city and go find her so that finally you have her in front of you. But it's your daughter after all, it's up to you."

"I ... Do you think I could do that? I don't know ... I ..."

"For once there is nothing happening in town, it's now or never."

She looked at the blonde with a shocked look, for once she totally agreed with her. They then warned Robin, Snow, David and Henry before leaving in the yellow ladybug that served as Emma's car. Before proposing this to the Ex-Queen, the Saviour had done her own research on Hermione, she knew her name, her age, her country of residence. In the end it was easier than she imagined. After several hours of car and plane, they arrived in the subdivision of the girl. The stress went up little by little.

Hermione was in her books, trying to change her mind. After what had happened the day before, she did not want to be at home in her small town. The witch wanted to help as best she could, staying inactive was a thing that was gnawing at her. She had already read and reread all the books in her library at least three times today. Placing herself at the window, she saw a little yellow car pass in front of her house and felt a strange presentiment as she stared at the two women inside.

Regina grunted almost in the car, they parked a little further away to avoid getting attention. they had to find a way to communicate with her. Emma found it obvious that they had to use a bit of magic, but they would have to be at least two in the light of the energy it required outside of Storybrooke. They then took a small crystal ball and placed Regina's memories there for Hermione to quickly understand. Empty of her energy, it was up to Emma to carry the ball in front of the window of the witch which immediately attracted her attention.

"And now?"

"Now we wait until tomorrow, that she has time to realize all this, I added with the ball a message with the address of an ice cream seller that I saw on the road and an hour."

"Why?"

"That way we leave her the choice to come or not. Believe me Regina, having a choice changes a lot, she will feel more confident if she understands that she can decide her life. Otherwise she will think that this truth is imposed on her."

"You talk about experience. I ... Sorry Emma, sometimes I forget that if you lived that it's because of me."

Emma smiled at her and suggested she go to the hotel for the evening even though she knew the brunette would not sleep much that night.

Hermione discovered the ball, once in her fingers, the latter lit up and a multitude of what seemed to be memories reached her. She saw a dark, loving, happy woman ending up losing the man she loved because of her mother. Yet the magic seemed to be dominant, everything seemed so unreal. As part of another world. Yet Hermione had grasped the main idea. Her mind reminded her whenever she had noticed that she did not look like her parents. Everything was clear at once: she had been adopted and now she was sure of it.

"Mom, dad," she said, coming down to the living room of the house.

"Hum?" Mr. Granger replied, barely lifting the head of his newspaper.

"When were you going to tell me?"

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Granger questioned.

"I was adopted I'm wrong?

"How ..."

Hermione stopped them, she did not want any lies. She had decided to make them talk and now, not in ten years. They then asked her to sit in front of them and explained to her that all this had happened during a trip to the United States. They had discovered a basket on the side of the road, a very young baby that they then brought back to the police station.

"I was on the side of the road?"

"Yes, we have taken care of you and we have taken all the steps to adopt you. It was not easy as we were not from this country but it ended up being done." Added her mother.

"There was a letter with you, explaining that your name was Hermione. We decided to leave you that name."

Her father got up and opened a small box from which he took out a letter. He handed it to Hermione and her breathing had greatly accelerated. She went up to her room, deciding to read it immediately.
