The next morning when Helaine woke up her head felt heavy. She lay in bed for a moment trying to remember why she felt so tired. Then it all came back in a rush, the dream and the file about Hermione. She sat up in bed and looked around the room. It was empty; she pulled her wand from beneath her pillow and cast a tempus charm. It was nine thirty in the morning, thankfully it was Saturday. She got out of bed and rummaged through her trunk finding a pair of blue jeans and a navy blue jumper. She rushed through her shower and quickly got dressed. She retrieved the shrunken papers from her robe and left the dorm.



She ran all the way down to the great hall. It was mostly empty only a few stragglers were left. Hermione of course wasn’t there as she tended to get up early even on the weekend. As Helaine was leaving the great hall she ran right into Ron.



“There you are finally. Why have you and Hermione been avoiding me? I know you two are close now because you’re a girl but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore me! He shouted at her. Helaine was taken aback she hadn’t realized she had completely neglected Ron.



“Ron I’m so sorry, it’s just that me and Hermione have some stuff going on right now that you can’t be a part of. I promise once what we’re doing is over we will all go and hang out.” She told him hoping this would appease him. She saw how wrong she was when Ron’s face contorted into an angry mask. He took a hold of her arms and pushed her up against a wall.



“You think this is just about hanging out Helaine? No it’s more than that, don’t you see, I thought now that you’ve changed you would finally notice.” He said. The next thing Helaine knew Ron had crashed his lips down on hers. She stood there frozen in shock for a second before she came to her senses and slapped Ron as hard as she could.



“What the hell are you doing?!” She shouted at him. He stood there looking pissed holding his bright red cheek.



“Don’t you get it Helaine; I’ve been in love with you since third year. Now that you’re a girl we can finally be together. Malfoy may be a foul git but he did us a favor Helaine, we can really be together now.” He told her. He had a strange look in his eyes that frightened Helaine. She moved away from him slowly, getting clear of the wall.



“Ron I’m sorry but I don’t feel the same. You’re my best friend Ron and that is how it’s going to stay. I’ll always Care about you just not in a romantic way, I really am sorry Ron.” She told him as calmly as she could. He looked hurt and a little angry but he didn’t say anything. After a few seconds in silence Helaine turned and walked away.



“You’ll be mine Helaine. I’ll see to that.” Ron said to Helaine’s retreating back. Unfortunately Helaine was too far away to hear him.



Helaine went straight to the library, the only place Hermione was bound to be on a Saturday. She finally spotted her sitting in the back of the library surrounded by a hug stack of books. Helaine didn’t even bother sitting down, she just walked over to Hermione and leaned down to her ear.

“I have something extremely important to show you, come with me.” Helaine said. It sounded cryptic and a bit scary. Hermione looked up at Helaine about to ask what she was talking about. When she saw the pleading and worried look in her eyes Hermione stood up to follow Helaine. They left the library and headed straight for the room of requirement.



Once outside Helaine walked in front of the blank wall thinking of how she wanted the room to look. When the door appeared Hermione and Helaine rushed inside. As soon as the door closed Helaine place heavy silencing and locking charms on the door.



When she turned to inspect the room she was pleased to find it meet all her specification. There was a cozy and calming fire burning in the hearth, emitting the pleasant smell of jasmine and lilac. There was a big cushy couch in front of the fire place along with a large window in the corner that over looked Hermione’s favorite tree by the black lake. Helaine hoped all this would keep Hermione relaxed. Before Helaine could even say anything Hermione spoke up first.



“What’s wrong, has something happened?” Hermione asked sounding worried. Helaine looked at her friend. Helaine knew that what she was about to show Hermione would ruin her life, she just wished it didn’t have to be her doing it.



“Well yes and no. Um I think you should sit.” Hermione paled a little but sat down. “Ok what I’m about to show you is pretty bad so prepare yourself. I found this last night while serving detention with Dumbledore.” Helaine told her as she pulled the parchment and photo from her pocket. She resized them and then handed them to Hermione.



Helaine waited patiently as Hermione read the papers. Her heart broke at the sorrow filled look on Hermione’s face. When Hermione was done reading she picked up the picture of her real parents. She ran her fingers over the picture and a single tear fell from her eyes. Helaine went over and gathered Hermione in her arms. She rocked her as she cried, crying along with her feeling the full brunt of her pain.



After a while when Hermione couldn’t cry anymore she pulled away from Helaine. She sat there quietly looking broken and lost. Helaine hated the look on Hermione’s face and was desperately trying to think of a way to fix it. Before she had come up with anything Hermione turned to her.



“How did you say you found this?” Hermione asked her. Helaine was a little surprised at how calm Hermione sounded but shrugged it off.



“Last night while I was in detention, Dumbledore left me alone in his office for a while. The portrait of Phineas Black told me to look in this red file and that is what I found. After Dumbledore dismissed me I went to find you but you were already asleep. That night after I had fallen asleep I had another dream from Voldemort. I asked him about the Sinclair’s, He told me that the night the LeStrange’s went to Azkaban the Ministry led by Dumbledore raided the Sinclair’s home. Both Duncan and Regina Sinclair were killed leaving there then one and half year old daughter alone. That’s all I was able to find out Hermione. I’m so sorry.” Helaine told her.



“Did you read through the whole file before you copied it?” Hermione asked her.



“No I didn’t want to risk getting caught, why?” Helaine asked. Hermione picked up the stack of parchment and shuffled through them until she found the one she wanted. She handed it to Helaine and pointed down at the witness signatures.



Helaine had to read the names twice, just to make sure her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her. There it was in bold black ink, Molly and Arthur Weasley had signed the adoption papers. Helaine felt a vicious and raw rage build up inside her. Never in a million year would she have ever suspected the Weasley’s of doing something like this. She had trusted them just like she trusted Dumbledore. For some reason this betrayal hurt a lot more. She had always thought of the Weasley’s as her family. Helaine didn’t know how much more she could take. She had to get Hermione and herself out of this castle before anymore damage could be done.



“Well I guess I should have seen this coming. I have had the suspicion that I was adopted since I was ten. I look nothing like the Granger’s I don’t even act like them. The only silver lining in all this is that by wizarding law the Granger’s aren’t my legal guardians. It’s illegal for squibs to adopt pure-blood children.” Hermione said. She turned to look at Helaine, tears flowing down her cheeks. Helaine hugged Hermione and rubbed her back.



“Hermione I am so sorry this happened to you. I promise you Dumbledore is going to get what’s coming to him. For now we have to come up with a plan to get out of here. If Dumbledore finds out what we know we’re as good as dead.” Helaine told her.



“But where are we going to go Helaine? There isn’t any place in Britain that he won’t search for us. Who could we trust not to turn us in if we can’t even trust the Weasley’s?” Hermione asked. Helaine had already thought of this. She knew Hermione wouldn’t like it but it was there only option right now.



“There is one person I know that will help us but you’re not going to like who it is.” Helaine told her.



“If you’re talking about Voldemort Helaine I’m not sure it’s a good idea to trust him. He may not want you dead but that doesn’t mean he’ll help us.” Hermione said.



“Hermione this isn’t about trust. Of course I don’t trust him but he may be our only chance of escaping without being caught. Besides He knows where the LeStrange’s are hiding. I know you Hermione; I know you want to meet them. Voldemort is the only one who can help us now. This is the best and only option we have.” Helaine told her. Hermione was silent for a while thinking everything over.



“Alright fine but we need to come up with a good plan.” Hermione told her. Helaine smiled she was already one step ahead of her.
