The common room was already quite full. People were sitting in the sofa's. Were playing wizard chess and magic poker. Hermione spotted Theodore and his friends from across the room. She made her way over to them but when she reached them she simply kept walking straight out of the door. She didn't stop walking until she reached the owlery.

Where she quickly found her owl, Hermes. 'Hermes, I don't know what to do. I thought that once i found out where i came from and who i really am that i would also know... well... i guessed i would know who i am.'

Hermes simply stared at her with his big eyes. He turned his head a bit and hooted softly.

'I'm even more confushed now. Should I tell Theodore that I'm his sister? He probably already knows because of Malfoy and Zabini. What if he doesn't want me to be his sister. Do I have to go home with him at the end of the year or can i stay here with Harry?' Hermione kept talking. Hermes was looking at her and softly pushed his head against her cheek. 'I'm really going crazy here. I'm talking to an owl as if i expect a real answer. Oh Hermes I love you but this conversation isn't really helping me. I'm going to find Harry.'

And so Hermione made her way over to the Gryffindor tower. She hid in the shadows and waited until someone said the password to get in. She didn't have to wait long. Soon she saw Neville coming. She pressed herself closer to the wall so he wouldn't see her.

'Dragonblood' Neville said to the portrait of the fat lady. She nodded at him and the portrait swung open. Neville climbed in. It was so typical Gryffindor to have a password like that. 

Hermione waited a little while and then came out of her hiding spot. She stopped in front of the portrait and said the password.

'That is correct so I will let you in but I have to ask, why would a snake wander into the lionsden?' The fat lady inquired.

'I need to speak with Harry.' Hermione answered.

'Well next time you can just ask me to call him. But fine. Come in.' and with that the portrait swung open. Revealing a big room decorated completely in red and gold. Roaring fireplaces lined the walls. Big comfy sofa's were scattered around the room. It was loud in the common room. Very different than the Slytherin common room where it usually was comfortably calm. Hermione took a few steps into the room and soon everyone stopped talking and was staring at her.

'uhm, hi, I'm looking for Harry. Is he here?' Hermione asked unsure. She didn't think this plan trough.

A few people pointed to a table in the back of the room where Harry and Ron where playing wizardchess. She walked over to where they were sitting. She could feel the eyes of the gryffindors following her every move. 'Hi Harry. Can I talk to you for a second?'

'No, we're in the middle of a important game.' Ron answered before Harry could even open his mouth.

'Well Ronald, I didn't really ask you.' Hermione answered. During the visit at Hagrid's she thought that perhaps she and Ron could actually become friends but this boy was really making it hard for himself.

Harry noticed the tension that was building between them so he quickly said to Hermione 'Sure, is everything okay? How did you even get in here.'

'Yeah, I'm fine. I just really need to talk to you. And I heard someone say the password and so i got in.' Hermione explained. 'Can we go somewhere private?'

'Sure let's go.' Harry answered.

'But Harry our game!' Cried Ron out.

'We'll play when I'm back. Don't worry Ron we still have time to play chess.' Harry laughed and then followed Hermione out of the common room. Ron angrily slumped down in his chair. That boy really had the emotional control of a toddler.

Harry and Hermione walked to the astronamy tower. When they arrived Harry broke the silence by saying' So what is it that you need to talk about?'

'I found out who I am. I know where I came from.' Hermione blurred out.

'Really? That's great! Come on tell me more.' Harry said excitedly.

'Well. It turns out that if you move your wand over my necklace it reveals a family crest.' Hermione took a deep breath and then continued 'The Nott crest.'

Harry stayed silent for a second and then said 'Nott as in Theodore Nott? The guy that was teasing us in diagonally and on the train?'

'Yep that's the one.' Hermione answered.

'Does he know yet?' Harry asked.

'I don't know. Maybe his friends told him.' Hermione said. 'I wanted to go tell him as soon as I found out. I was so close to him but then i just freaked out and walked straight passed him.'

'Why would you freak out?' Harry asked.

'What if he doesn't want me as his sister? How am i supposed to tell him this.' Hermione said.

'Well first of. I know i would be thrilled to find out I still have a sibling out there. I'm sure he feels the same way. Plus you are amazing. He's lucky to get a sister like you.' Harry told her. 'And how to tell him well. I suppose you just do it like you did with me.'

'Thanks Harry. I needed to hear that. i Suppose you're right. i would also be happy to find out I have family out there. I mean i did just find out that i actually have a brother. it's just a lot to take in.' Hermione rambled on.

'Hermione? i need  you to look at me.' Harry told her gently. 'Can you take a deep breath with me. in through your nose. hold it, now release through your mouth.' 

'I'm so glad you're my friend.' Hermione said after she took a few breaths. Harry had coached her through a few small panic attacks in the past. 

'You're very welcome. But don't forget it's not because you now have a real brother that I won't still see you as my sister.' Harry told her lovingly.

'I know.' Hermione answered. 'Well i suppose that i have to go have a little talk with Theo now.'

'Yeah good luck with that. Come find me tomorrow and tell me all about it. Will you?' Harry told her.

'Of course Harry. Now go back to your common room and beat Ron in that stupid chess game.' Hermione laughed.

They gave a final hug and then they went their separate ways. In her head Hermione was thinking of different ways to tell Theo. Before she knew it she was standing in front of her own common room entrance. She took a deep breath gave the password and walked in.
