“What are we doing here Hermione?"
“You’ll know once we get there!” I exclaimed “how many times do I have to say it!?” I saw visually shrink back good I thought he should be afraid of me!
about five minutes later
“Hermione what are we doing here?” asked Ron yet again. I decided that maybe I should tell them now.
“Ok fine I’ll tell you! You know that portrait of Mrs. Black?” they nodded hesitantly. “Well sometimes I hear her talking to herself and she seems to know a lot about most pureblood families I thought that maybe with yours and Sirius’s permission I could work out a deal with her. They stared at me as if I was crazy which they probably were thinking.
“Hermione have you gone mental!?” I scowled at Ron.
“No I just want to find out about my heritage that’s all.”
“She has a point.”
“Thank you Harry!” I exclaimed while swiftly turning around and reading the paper to let us in. I practically ran in with Ron and Harry following.
“Whoa Hermione slow down!” Harry called after me.
“Then hurry up slow pokes!”
“Hermione wait up!”
She suddenly stopped causing them to bump into her. “Here we are!” I called out merrily
“Seriously, Hermione are you on drugs or something!?”
“No! Harry you know me better than that!” He rolled his eyes at me while Ron started snickering, but stopped the second her hand went to the drape.
“NO!!!” they both yelled at once pushing me over.
“Get off me!”
“Don’t you think we should get like Sirius and some other people to help us?”
“Crap!” Harry slapped his forehead. “I forgot to tell Sirius that I’m here!” He ran off to find Sirius.(A/N In this fic Sirius did NOT die.)
Ron just stood there stupidly while I kept glancing nervously at the drape that covered the portrait of Mrs. Black. A few moments later Harry came running . “Sirius wants us to go talk to him in the room upstairs , the one we kept Buckbeack in.” We started our way to the small room that Buckbeack the hippogriff stayed in.
“Hey Sirius!” we chorused as soon as he came into view.
“Hey guys what brings you to Grimmauld Place?” he looked a lot healthier than he used to, happier too.
“Sirius” I started cautiously “do you know anybody with the last name Treen?” As the name came out of my mouth the light went out of his eyes and he stared at me with those empty eyes.
“Unfortunately I do, well used to.” My eyes widened.
“Could you please tell me about them.”
“Sure. Arrabella was a fine woman. Very caring. Her husband Benjamen was a good friend of mine and James. I was actually engaged to Arra’s sister Anza.” he suddenly sounded very sad. “Ben and Arra died the same night as James and Lily. They had two twin daughters. I forgot their name, don’t know what happened to them. They’d be right around your ages.” he stopped when he saw my eyes tearing up. “Hermione, what’s wrong?”
I sighed “I have a sister.” I muttered “Don’t you see? My parents were friends with yours Harry. I can’t believe it. Sirius, I am Hermione Treen.” Tears sprang to my eyes. Sirius looked absolutely shocked. “ I came here to try to find something out from Mrs. Black, but I guess I didn’t have to bother with the drapes.”
“Hermione…” he began “I don’t believe it. Do you have a locket?” he suddenly asked. I uncertainly took my necklace off and handed it to him. He smiled “look at the back.” I took it back and looked at the back when all of a sudden words started to appear. My eyes widened in shock oblivious to Ron and Harry looking at me intently. : My dearest Hermione I tried to contact you before but you didn’t answer so I assume that you hadn’t felt it warm up or looked at it. Well apparently you just found out everything from Sirius. Typical Sirius always has to be the one to spill the beans. Unfortunately he spilled a bit too much. You were not supposed to find out about your sister until Hogwarts but I guess secrets are supposed to be found out. Tell Sirius that his love is not gone. He’ll know what I mean. Incase your confused I put a bit of my soul in this locket so even after I died I could still communicate with you. After I finish this than don’t ask me any questions it will take all my strength just to give you this message. I love you Hermione but be cautious if Voldemort finds that you live than you will be in even more danger than you already are being one of Harry Potter’s best friend. Be careful, but know that I am always with you.
I looked up and said to Sirius “It says to tell you that your love is not gone whatever that means.” even though I had no idea what it meant it looked as if he did. I yawned. “Come on Harry, Ron. We’ll be back tomorrow Sirius. Right now I’m really tired. Its pretty late we should get back to the Burrow.” I started pulling Ron and Harry to the fire place I grabbed some floo powder shouted “ The Burrow!” and went swirling through the air until I was back in Mrs. Weasley’s kitchen shrugging everybody off while I slumped to mine and Ginny’s room where I flopped on my bed and fell asleep instantly.
A/N I am SO sorry for the long wait. I was just so caught up in school and moving and didnt have any time. Well now that its summer I'll have more time =D review and tell me how you liked it.
