Hermione Black (Completed)

Chapter 22

Pegasus Pov

We have one more day left of the holidays and Draco and I have decided to go to the Burrow.

Mother and Aunt Andromeda seeing us out, "Are you sure you're ready for this, Pegasus?" Mother asks me.
"Stop worrying Cissa!" Andromeda scoffs. "If Ronald goes off his top, Fred and George are there to stop him."
"The twins with the joke shop?" Mother asks raising an eyebrow unconvinced.
"We'll be fine Mother," Draco says.
"Please tell Luna she can send out the copies of the Quibbler by the end of the hour."
The sisters nod then I take Draco's arm and we side-along apparate to the Burrow.

The Burrow looks normal but for some reason feels intimidating. Draco tugs his arm gently so I let go then he whispers "It'll be alright Peggy."
I nod then knock on the door. It opens almost immediately. Inside I see two identical smiling faces.
"Hermione!" Fred and George say in sync as they hug me tightly.
Fred turns to Draco and to my surprise he says "Draco! So glad you're here, we wanted your thoughts on some new products."
"We were thinking: 'exploding self-writing quills.' The perfect revenge gift. One minute your double-crossing friend is writing an essay on werewolves," George explains.
"The next he or she is covered in ink!" Fred yells deviously.
"You boys are awful!" I exclaim. "And since when did you three start working together?"
"We have been for months!" George says.
"Lee said if we wanted more cunning products."
"We need a cunning student."
"And who's more cunning than the Slytherin Prince?!" they say in sync.
"Surprise!" Draco says sheepishly. "Don't tell Mother, she'd kill me."
"FRED! GEORGE!" I hear Molly Weasley shriek. "WHO ARE YOU HOLDING AT THE DOOR! LET THEM IN ALREADY!"
"It's Hermione and her plus one!" George calls back.
"HERMIONE?!" the residents exclaim.
There's a sequence of cracking sounds as Arthur, Molly, Ron, Ginny and Harry apparate to the ground floor.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asks, (not rudely.)
"Why are you here?" Ginny huffs.
"Fed up of the bloody Manor?" Ron smirks.
I frown then Draco says "Ahem."
They all then to him in shock, Molly and Arthur's jaws drop.
"What on Earth is he doing here?" They all cry save for Ronald who leaps at him trying to strangle him.
"Woah!" the twins exclaim as they pull the two apart.
"That was uncalled for," Molly says.
"She brought the bloody deatheater with her!" Ginny exclaims in Ron's defence.
"Ex-deatheater," the twins and I say in sync.
"Look, George!" Fred exclaims. "She's stealing our twin thing!"
I laugh, "May we come on?"
"No..." Ron begins.
"Yes of course," Molly says.
We are led inside. Everybody sits down but Draco and I choose to stand.
"I've missed you," I say to Molly, Arthur and the twins. "Sorry for not saying anything about not coming for the holidays."
"It's alright dear," Molly says unconvincingly.
"What I'm about to tell you is a bit shocking," I say calmly. "I ask that you'll listen without yelling afterwards."
They nod hesitantly.
"When I born, just over 20 years ago, I was adopted by a muggle family you all know as the Grangers, my real family... my real parents are Narcissa and Sirius Black."
"WHAT?!" they all exclaim Draco seemed to have expected that reaction because he had just clamped his hands over my ears to muffle the yells.
He removes them and smirks slightly, "You heard correctly Potter, your best friend is my big sister!"
"Don't antagonize him, Draco."
"But it's so fun Pegasus!" he replies.
"You're a Malfoy?" Ron asks in shock.
"No, you div!" I sigh. "I'm a Black."
"How?" Ginny stammers.
"Sirius and Narcissa were married during the First Wizarding War, then they divorced. Sirius wanted to keep Mother safe but she was already pregnant with me. After I was born, Mother gave me up to the Grangers and was married to Lucius Malfoy the next day. Draco was born in June the next year."
"Prematurely," Draco added for Molly's pregnancy maths to work out.
She "oh"s in response.
"So Sirius was your dad?" Harry asks.
I nod, "He didn't know when he was alive."
Harry's face drops then he runs up to me and hugs me, "I'm sorry, for everything that happened last term."
I smile, Finally! I wrap my arms around him. "It's alright."
"So you're a pureblood?" Ginny asks. I nod. "That's one title down the drain," she chuckles. I've been thinking about the warning you gave Harry on the train and I'm sorry too."
I nod, Harry hasn't let go. I'm guessing I'm his only living link to Sirius he has.
"Potter let go of my sister would you!" Draco says.
Before Harry can let go, Ron storms upstairs.
"Ignore him," Arthus says.
The Weasleys "hm" in agreement.
Harry finally lets go of me then looks between me and Draco.
"If Hermione is like a sister to me," he begins with horror dawning on his face. "And Draco's her brother, does that make Draco my broth..."
"Absolutely not!" Draco exclaims taking a few steps back.
"It's Pegasus now by the way," I say quietly.
"Pardon?" the twins say.
"Pegasus Venus Black," I say clearly.
"This is going to take some getting used to," they all say in sync.

A/N: you may have noticed Hermione is referencing her new name a lot. This is because she's trying to mentally come to terms with it, so she can accept it herself.
