Everyone knows of Hermione Granger and how she is the Brightest Witch of her age. But does anyone know who she really is? Hermione's life is forever changed when she receives a letter from the Ministry of Magic. Now, in her final year at Hogwarts, she is ready to figure out who she really is. Can she learn about her family and keep her friends, or will they cut ties once the truth is revealed?

Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.
