Dear V,
I think I might have found your daughter, it's Hermione Granger. If you actually think about it then it makes perfect since, the cunning, ambition, honer, pride, brains, she is like the female personality of you. Write back soon.
~D.M.
I watched as the owl flew off, day dreaming at what he might send back. Would he totally disagree that Granger could be his daughter or would he accept the idea and have his theory tested. Well I won't know until I get a letter back from him, and with that thought he begins his way back to the heads common room. When he gets there he finds something he was not expecting, Granger was standing in the middle of the room painting. I stood there and watched her for a moment. She seemed to be off in her own little world. Watching her concentrate on moving the brush just right but making it look effortless it was amazing. Then I took a look into her eyes, they were pink, with little specks of lavender. It was then that I chose to speak.
"What are you painting Granger?" I asked her, actually interested in what she was doing.
"I'm painting happiness, family, love, loyalty, honer, greatness, and power." she answered my question. "I'm almost done, would you like to see it?" she then asked me.
"Yeah I would, after you paint this one are you going to start on another? Because if you are I am going to go get my painting supply and paint with you."
"You paint?" she asked me.
"Yes Granger, I paint. I know, I know, you would never think the big bad Slytherin prince Draco Malfoy would like to paint but I love painting. To be honest it is the only thing that can calm me down after a rough day." I tell her. I walk over to her canvas and take a look at it. It's a family tree, but there are no names and you cant tell who the people are even though you know that you know them by their faces. I know the spell, and you wouldn't even be able to know pick yourself out of the painting if you are in it. It has a lot of smaller pictures hanging off some of the branches with the family members that are not in the immediate family and the big pictures are the ones of the main family. The first big picture is of a couple holding a baby.
The woman was wearing a silk Slytherin green dress with silver and black ribbons, rhinestones, and beading and was wearing a Slytherin tiara she was skinny, she wasn't tall but she wasn't short she had long black hair and pink eyes. She was holding a baby girl.
The baby girl had pink eyes and supper curly brown hair like the father in the picture. She had on a dress and tiara much like her mothers.
The man in the picture, Obviously the father was wearing a Slytherin green robe with silver and black trimming. The family were obviously wizards.
Under the picture was another picture even bigger it was of the daughter's family. She is wearing her mothers dress and tiara. She is holding a baby of her own. It is a little girl with Malfoy blonde curly hair you can tell this child will grow up to be amazingly beautiful. Next to the mother stood the father, he had Malfoy blonde hair and grey eyes. The only weird thing is that he is smiling lovingly at his family which Malfoys never do.
"Yes I am going to paint another after I am finished with this one and take the spells off." she answered.
"Spells? Like as in two spells? I only see one spell on it." I tell her.
"yeah you see the spell facies occultorum (hidden faces) but the spell you don't see is familiae futurum et praeteritum (familys future and past)" she tells me.
"so this family tree is for the future and the past?" I ask her.
"yes, and now as you can see, I am done. Lets see what my family has in store for me." she tells me and she begins to undo the spells.
She had completed taking off the spells and stood back to admire her work but all she could get out was eleven words. "kidnapped... adopted... abused... Tom Riddle...Alice Riddle...marriage... Draco Malfoy... daughter" and she fainted.
I ran over to her and looked at the painting. It was then that the faces began to stick out, just as the names began to appear. The names that stuck out were Tom Riddle, Alice Riddle, Hermione Riddle, Hermione Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and Hydra Malfoy.
I see why she fainted, I read her diary. This is her biggest wish come true. I ran as fast as I could to the fireplace. And flew called tom.
He answered quickly "yes draco what is it?"
"disregard the letter that is being sent to you from me. I found your daughter. It's Hermione Granger."
"how did you come across this information?"
"she paints, She used the spells facies occultorum and familiae futurum et praeteritum on her painting of her family tree."
"who is her husband to be?"
"the painting says me."
"that spell tells no lies. I am very thank full that you found her. When she awakes ask if she would like to meet with me if you will."
"I will Tom, she will want to meet you."
"I highly doubt it."
"she will want to meet you, she has been abused by every Gryffindor that acts like a friend. Along with her adoptive parents. She is going to want to meet you and Alice. I promise you that."
