*Present Day*

Hermione's POV

' E.L.L. '  

'I know I saw it somewhere. But where?' I shook my head and closed my eyes. I'll see tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Where am I?' I looked around. It was a dark room but suddenly, a sharp light appeared from nowhere. I had to cover my eyes with one hand. When I put my hand down, I saw her. 

She stood infront of me, but she looked different than on that photo. She looked much older and unhealthy. Her skin was pale like a paper, she was really skinny like she hasn't eat in days and she had bags under her eyes. Her clothes were torn and I swear I saw blood.

'Hermione' she spoke quietly.

I was completely mute. How on the Earth she knows my name.

'Hermione.' she repeat. 'A Family tree.'

' What? ' I looked at her, confused.

'A Black's family tree tapestry Hermione. There is an answer. Please, find me.' she pleaded me. I hesitatingly nodded and she smiled slightly.

'Thank you.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes shot opened. It was still a night time but I was now full awake. Ginny was still sleeping so I had to work quiet. 

Before I new it I was downstair with a wand in my hand. "Lumos" I spoke quietly and tip of my wand illuminated. I quietly sneaked into room with a tapestry. 'What should I look for here?' I asked myself. I slowly walk around the room. A family tree was so big! It encroach upon the Middle Ages.

It took me hours until I reached last generation. I saw black hole and name Sirius Orion Black. My instincts told me that I was close. I scanned that tapestry to the details. Regulus Arcturus Black,  Andromeda Black (another hole), Narcissa Black was line-connected with Lucius Malfoy and Draco Lucius Malfoy, then there was Bellatrix Lestrange line-connected with Rodolphus Lestrange. But there was two other lines which went from Rodolphus. Two silver lines like in Sirius's and Regulus's case and in Narcissa's, Andromeda's and Bellatrix's case. First line went to a picture and sign told name Rabastan Lestrange. And second went toward a black hole. 

'A black hole in Lestrange family?'

 I looked at the sign and my heart stopped. Impossible! Rodolphus has only one sibling, right? At least, that was what I thought. But now, I was looking at name with the same initials that I found earlier. E.L.L.

Elena Lilian Lestrange
