Hermione's Secret

Chapter 2

The next day Ron and Hermione dropped Ella off at the Burrow with Mrs. Weasley and headed to work early to go meet with a specialist who could help them locate Hermione's sister.

"Good morning, I'm Susan, please take a seat" the social worker said

"So how can I help you Mr and Mrs. Weasley"

"We need to find someone"

"I'm listening" Susan said

"Well I found out that I had a sister, who ran away ()yrs ago, is there anyway to find her?" Hermione asked

"Well I could try looking through files, but it could take a long time there could be a possibility she will show up in our files if she is supposedly related to you"

"That's amazing, I guess its worth a try right?" Hermione asked

"Sure" Ron replied

"Well alright, I will just need a signature and a DNA sample to make sure you are who you say you are, though you look good enough for me" Susan said

Hermione and Ron signed the papers and gave their DNA samples.

"So what is your family name, Mrs. Weasley? Susan asked

"Granger" Hermione replied

"So, I could try searching the Grangers and see what comes up, there might be records of her missing?"

"Sure, anything that will help me find my sister" Hermione replied

Susan's fingers tapped away on the keyboard as she typed in the Grangers name.

"I'm sorry Hermione nothing seems to have come up, maybe she changed her name? There are reports of a daughter missing and searches were conducted but sadly she wasn't found" Susan said

Hermione felt a lump rise in her throat but swallowed it down

"Is there anything else you can do?" Hermione asked

"Well there are a few options, obviously more searching, I could try talking to muggle services to, although what could definitely give us some results was a DNA sample"

"I don't know if my parents kept anything of hers even so it would probably be covered in dust form sitting up in the attic and would be very difficult to get a DNA sample" Hermione replied

"Any photos? We could try running them through a muggle process called face reconstruction, maybe there will be a match?" Susan asked

"Would childhood photos work?" Hermione asked

"Worth a try" Susan replied

"Sure" Hermione said

" We could try putting advertisements out in the daily profit, you guys being the golden trio and all would surely get a front page" Susan said

"If that's possible that would be great"

"Shall I leave a number to call you incase we find someone?" Susan asked

"Ahh would it be ok to keep it more private maybe could you get them to ring here please?' Ron asked

"Sure, done"

Ron walked back into his office to find Harry sitting at his desk.

"Hey mate" Harry said

"Hey, ah can I help you or are you just finding another excuse to not work?" Ron asked

"No of course not, I would never do that" Harry said with a chuckle

"So how's Ginny how are the kids?" Ron asked taking a seat next to Harry.
