Lost Sister, Found Uncle

Author's Note:

First thing I have to say is 'thank you' to all those that have suck with me. I wanted to update this story for a while, but I had forgotten my password and I couldn't reset it for some reason. Then in May of 2013 my youngest brother died from cancer (we had only found out about it a few months before). After that, I went back to school. Now that I had managed to get back on here, I will be updating to bring this up to speed with Fanfiction. net.

Before I go on with this chapter, I want to thank all those that have reviewed. I enjoy reading them and answering any questions you have (as long as it isn't about what is going to happen next).

Happy Reading & Happy Halloween.

Ashlin.

 

Chapter 23: A Chat with Friends

Once the seven students were sitting in the library, Hermione looked over at Harry.

“First before I tell you all what is going on, I have to say, Harry, I am sorry for how I acted towards you. I honestly I have no idea just what I was thinking. I don’t think I was much.”Hermione said.

Harry nodded. “I will think about your apology, Hermione.”

“That is all I can ask.” Hermione said. “You all heard the Headmaster and Professor Snape talk about the Lestrange’s daughter. She had been stolen the same night her parents were cursed and given to another couple. This reminds me of when your Mum was taken from your Grandmother, Harry.”

“Yes, it does.” Harry said.

“The Headmaster and Professor Snape thought that they knew just who could be Rhea Lestrange and they were right. After using the Paternity Potion, it became obvious that I am Rhea Lestrange. My real parents are Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange.” Hermione said.

As expected, Ron exploded. His face turned red and he blew.

“Now it makes sense why you are so bossy and want everything to be done your way. You are just like your parents! I can’t believe that you were ever a friend of mine. Go back to your own Slytherin!” Ron yelled and left the room.

“That was uncalled for, Mr. Weasley. Twenty points from Gryffindor.” Come Lucius’ voice from the office.

“I have a cousin.” Neville said. “I never thought that I would have more family. Hermione, just because you found out that you really are a Lestrange and had been taken from your parents, doesn’t mean anything different to me. You will always be my friend and now, cousin.”

“Yeah, I am with Neville on this, Hermione.” Ginny said. “Ron is just an idiot.”

“If you have spells on you like I did, you may end up more like your real parents. But that doesn’t mean that you are bad or anything like that.” Harry said. “I always wondered how you could be just a Muggleborn. You are too strong magically to be just a Muggleborn. I never thought that you were a pureblood like me and my Mum turned out to be. I thought maybe a half-blood or there were some witches or wizards in your family that you didn’t know about.”

“You won’t change much, Rhea and you will forever be my friend.” Luna said.

“Thank you, all of you. I didn’t think I could have done this before, but I think I can if I still have friends that care about me.” Hermione said and then laughed a little. “I even like my real name better than my fake one. Rhea Bella Lestrange. It’s better than Hermione Jane Granger.”

“I like it too.” Ginny said. “It’s easier to say.”

Hermione laughed. “Harry, was everything that was in the Prophet today, true?”

“Yes, it was. Wouldn’t you say that the Magical children in the Muggle world would understand this world a lot better if they had been brought in at a younger age?” Harry asked. “Would you have accepted the way’s of this world a lot better if you had been told about it when you were six or seven years old?”

“Yes, I would.” Hermione said.

“My Uncle, Professor Snape and I were talking and thought that it was possible that Muggleborns are just children or grandchildren of squibs and or have a magical person in their family that they didn’t know of.” Harry said. “Think about it. If we don’t have new blood added to ours, we will end up dying out.”

“I never thought of it like that.” Hermione said. “But I agree that it would make a lot more sense.”

“Do you have spells on you to make you look different from your parents, Rhea?” Neville asked.

“Yes, I do. I have been thinking on having the Headmaster and Professor Snape remove them if they can.” Hermione said.

“You really should go to Gringotts, Rhea. The Goblins can remove the spells easier. Do you have more on you?” Harry asked making it sound more like a sentence than a question.

“Yes, I do.”

“Then you would be better going to the Goblins.” Harry said. “It is by far, easier to have them remove all the spells. Then you can get your wardrobe updated to fit your knew look and the fact that you are a pureblood. Oh, and Rhea, remember that if you ever are not pleased with your house, you can resort. I believe that I can be safe when I say that your friends won’t care if you are a Gryffindor or not.”

Rhea was confused by what Harry had told her while they had been in the library of the Headmasters office. She hoped that Harry would become her friend again. She still felt horrible for what she did and was a little angry that it did happen.

Thinking over what had happened in the last few hours, Rhea wondered what her parents really were like. She was even starting to wonder what would change. Who would she look like? Would her personality change any?

Rhea knew that her life was about to change a lot, but if she was to tell the truth, she was excited about it all. She was a pureblood and had three cousins. She had a bigger place in the Magical world than what she had first thought.

 

A.N.:

Hmm, what could happen next? What will happen with Rhea?

You all may just find out in the next day or so.
