Hermione woke up at 9 am 1995 in August. 'Damn I slept in again" she thought to herself as she rose to go to her adjoining bathroom. She then washed her face then began to brush her teeth. She was very excited about the next school year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Hermione Jean Granger was a 15 nearly 16-year-old muggle-born Witch. After she brushed her teeth and had a quick shower, she got dressed and applied light make-up. Hermione had grown up a lot since the end of the school year she now looks older and Mercure. She also now wears clothes that show offer body and make up her hair also is slightly tamer and dark it's almost like her hair is from a different person magically forming but she pushed that thought away. Hermione came downstairs to see her parents in the kitchen with cups of tea looking apprehensive.


"Hi mum, dad, good morning," she said as she sat on the other side of the kitchen counter "Good morning Hermione" her mother Emma April Granger nee Grayson answered her "Hermione we have to tell you something important, keep in mind this doesn't change how much we love you." Hermione's father said carefully.


Hermione was starting to get nervous now she started to think many different things but what she didn't expect was this "You are adopted Hermione" Hermione was shocked to her core. Was she from a magical family? Was she from some random muggle family? Was she a mistake and they didn't want her? but what she decided to ask was this. "why didn't you tell me sooner can you please tell me the whole story from the start " Her adoptive dad Danale Mathew Granger started speaking


"Your birth mother her name was Marlene, she came to us after we found out we couldn't have kids on our own," "she told us she couldn't keep you because your father already died and she was in poor health as she claimed. She told to us you were 11 months old and your birth name was Hermione and asked if we could take you, we, of course, we said yes she left you a letter for us to give you when you were older than age 15 which we haven't read then she left. She also left you a little box with your full birth name on it. "The letter is here if you want to read it?"Emma said pointing the letter on the bench next to a beautiful Royal Blue box with a crest on it that read The Mckinnon Family. And on the side of the box, it had the name Hermione-Lyra. Hermione opened the letter carefully and started reading


Dear my darling daughter Hermione- Lyra EstellaI'm sorry, I had to leave you with muggles. Your father and I loved you so much. But the truth is we were in a war and because I was a fighter for the light called the order of the phoenix my whole family was a target. Your father was a fighter for the dark called the death eaters which he was forced into by his family (he did not agree with the ideals but never said otherwise in front of most people). He was a proper rich pureblood and I was from a whats called blood traitor family (we were rich and pureblooded as well) your father died a few days ago and it was so heartbreaking it still feels like I will never be happy again. I know they are coming for the rest of my family because of me being an active order member and Auror. I am a target as well my two older brothers, Michael and Andrew who are also Aurors while my dad retired a few years ago. Our family is marked and when they come there is no stopping them. We are not stopping fighting against Lord Voldemort because that is a risk I am willing to take to help keep you safe, I love you so much. Your mother Marlene May Mckinnon-Black xoxoxo,PS... I was a proud Gryffindor and your father was a Slytherin. Only my family and your godparents knew about us we made them take an oath. You are also wearing a glamour charm your looks are slightly altered.


Hermione was in shock her life is changed so drastically in 5 minutes."I'm a pureblood, wow and my name is Hermione-Lyra" Hermione was sad she never got to meet her parents, she wondered how different her life would be being the pureblood heiress of a rich family. Hermione then opened up the purple medium size box. The box was full to the brim with an assortment of things. She picked up the first thing on top. Which was a letter with a folded letter with her name with elegant cursive writing on it. she started reading.
