Know It All

Secret

Hermione looked at the wall crammed with pictures of her, Harry and Ron. Her parents too. She really missed them. They had found them in Australia but were unable to recover their memories because she made it so that it would be impossible to incase Voldemort found them.

Sure, she was the brightest witch of her age but she made mistakes. No one was perfects. Not her. Not Harry. Not Ron. Not even Dumbledore. She sighed. Thinking of Dumbledore made her sad.

And Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Moody, Fred, Snape, and Dobby. So much had died in the war. It was not fair. They were good people and deserved happy lives.

She quoted Snape. "It may have escaped your notice but life isn't fair" she said out loud.

"It really isn't Hermione" someone said from behind her. She whirled around to find Sirius leaning against the door casually as if nothing had ever happened.

"Sirius! You're alive!" she exclaimed. "How? Bellatrix killed you!"

"You see Hermione," he said perching on the bed. "I am a very good actor" He put on a sirius face.

"If you were such a great actor, why did you get in trouble so much?"

"How else am I alive?" he asked.

"Go on" she said grumpily.

"She missed. I acted as if I were hit and fell through the veil" he ended with a dramatic bow, as if Hermione were ever to applaud him.

"That was nice" he grumbled to himself.

"Why did you come Sirius?"

"Actually, there is something you need to know" he shifted uncomfortably and pulled out an envelope adressed to her. "I was a good friend of Gary's" (her "father")

My dear Hermione,

If you are reading this, it means that we are gone. I never wanted you to find out this way.

I am so sorry for not telling you earlier but they had put a spell on us to prevent us from telling you until you were 17.

Obviously, we didn't live to tell you or something else happened. We wanted to tell you before Hogwarts but here goes nothing.

You are adopted. You were left on out doorstep like Harry. We guess your parents left you to keep you safe.

I am so sorry. I almost forgot something. "Happy Birthday Hermy!"

We will love you forever and always even if we are not there with you but remember something.

"The ones who truly love us never really leave us" My friend Sirius said that after James and Lily died.

I hope he was the one that gave you this letter. I told him to give it to you if something happened to us.

Love,
Gary and Rose

"There is another letter" Sirius said, taking out another one.

Hermione took it with tears threatening to fall out of her eyes. She almost laughed when her dad called her Hermy. When she was young, she had an obsession with Hermit Crabs and the name stuck.

She opened this one and noticed a small golden key at the bottom.

She picked it up and started reading.

Happy Birthday Vanessa,

I'm so sorry for all of the birthdays we missed with you but we had to keep you safe.

I know you have my brains so I am not going to tell you our names.

As I was saying... no... writing, I really missed you. The Dark Lord is recruiting and we will surley be killed.

I preformed anciend magic on you and your brother to keep you from dying.

I hope that you know that you are adopted. We left you on Sirius's friend's doorstep. I had to beg Sirius to take you there.

Anyway, you are the-girl-who-lived.

There is a problem though. You have to leave your life. Make it as if you killed yourself or something and come back as your real self.

You might be wondering what your name is. I won't tell you the last name though ;).

You are Vanessa Lily ......

I guess the Lily gave it away but I won't tell you unless you grew up to be as thick headed as your father.

The key is for the fortune we left you. We divided it in half. Your brother and you.

If you were sorted into any house that is not Gryffindor, don't worry.

Your father was almost sorted into Slytherin. For me, it was between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw but I asked the sorting hat for Gryffindor.

Your father and I were Head Boy and Head Girl. We expect you or your brother to get one of these titles.

There is a spell that will turn you into your real self permanently. It's really easy.

"Abjiciamus tectum meum"

You can search it up if you don't know how to pronounce it but I really hope you do.

I really, really, really love you and your brother. I am so sorry that I couldn't be there to help you when you needed me most.

But remember, I am always watching you from above.

"The ones who truly love us never really leave us"

I really hope Sirius hasn't stolen my phrase. Please whack him on the arm if he has for me please.

I will always love you. Forever and Always.

-Mom and Dad

P.S. The last name is on the back if you didn't figure it out.

"Wow. Sirius and Remus should've been dead. I would never've found out. Well, maybe" she thought.

She handed Sirius the letter and he read it through. "Let's see!" he said enthusiastically.

She walked up to the floorlength mirror. "Abjiciamus tectum meum" she said pointing the wand at herself.

Her hair stayed the same but it turned red with the ocasional blonde hilight. Her eyes turned green and she grew a bit taller.

She didn't really like the hair so with a simple charm she made it just like her mother's. She knew who they were. The Potters.

"You are his sister. There is no denying it"

"But it can't be" she said, looking at herself in the mirror. "Is it just me or have I gotten skinnier" she thought. "Wait. The horcrux hunt with no food. That must be it"

"You are smart like Lily and can see the best in everyone."

"So it's all real? I'm not dreaming?"

"Yes. You are Harry Potter's sister"

I am writing 4 things at a time and I make up the plot as I go along so sorry if it is sucky.

I'm gonna make it a Dramione but you can hardly call it that in this case but you get what I mean.

I know that I make mistakes while writing and I am going to ask you to ignore them please. I'm too lazy to edit my works even I only have 5. If one is too confusing please comment.

Does anyone know how to put a picture before a chapter? I've seen it in stories but I don't know how to do it. Comment how please! If you can't because of the update or something, just...
