I sneaked into the common room and dashed towards the stairs.

"Get her!" Harry yelled and Neville jumped on top of me, rendering me helpless. I looked up at Harry, who was standing before me with some gillyweed on his nose (posing as a moustache), like a general, and peering down at me like I was his prisoner of war.

"So, Hermione, we meet again." He said emotionlessly.

"It's been a while," I regarded. Ginny chuckled.

"Lieutenant Weasly, quieten down." Harry ordered.

"Which one?" Ginny replied.

"Which one d'you think?" he snapped, before returning his undenying gaze to me. "You've been avoiding us, Hermione."

"Not nessercerily true. I see Ginny every day." I protested.

"Let me rephrase that: You've been avoiding me and Ron, Hermione. What's more, we got a letter from your parents, Hermione. Lieutenant Weasly, read the letter."

"Which one?" Ron asked.

"Well which one of you has the letter?" Ron raised his hand. "Read it then!" Harry snapped.

"'Dear Harry Potter and... Ralph? Riene? Roland? Rebecca? Yeah, Rebecca Weasly,' it reads, 'We are writing to talk to you about Hermione. Have you seen her? She's been missing since summer. She had an owl and walked right out the door once she'd read it. We thought she'd gone to yours, Rebecca. But then she didn't answer our owls, she didn't come home at Christmas- we can't express how worried we are. Her clothes- everything of hers is gone. Please, if you've seen her please, tell us, and tell her we miss her and want her to come home.'" Ron read.

"Exactly. You said you were going to go home for Christmas, but you're parents haven't seen you since the summer. How come?" Harry question. I sighed. This was inevitable.

"Okay. Alright. I'll tell you the truth. I'll spill." I sighed, "Neville, get off me. And Harry, stop acting like a general. You aren't one- plus, Dumbledore's the one in charge around here."

"Fine. Why d'you always have to ruin my fun, Mione?" Harry grumbled, wincing as he ripped off the gillyweed. Neville heaved himself up and I heaved a sigh of relief.

"Because I'm Hermione Granger." I started, to which Ginny chuckled. Harry turned to her.

"What you laughing Ginny?" he asked.

"She's Hermione Granger... Shit sorry!" Ginny cussed. Harry turned back to me, narrowing his eyes.

"Okay. The truth. During the summer I found out I was adopted." I told them truthfully.

"And..." Harry promted.

"And nothing. I was adopted, so I went to find my real parents, they've taken me back in now I live with them. End of." I said, silently searching for a surname. Hm... What was Voldemort backwards? Tromedlov. No. That sounded too weird. What about Riddle backwards? Elddir. It could be Welsh. It would explain my language choices.

"What's your new surname?" Harry quizzed.

"Elddir." I answered with no hesitation.

"Eldear?" Ron repeated, uncertainly.

"No, Elddir. Pronounced El-there." I said slowly. "May I go and put my books back now?"

"Go on then." Harry dismissed.

"And I'll help!" Ginny offred, following me up. As we walked, she talked non-stop.

"... And Riddle backwards- how did you think of that?" she babbled.

"Ginny." I said forcibly.

"Sorry. Hey who's owl is that?" She pointed to an owl that swooped through the window.

"Gin that's Draco's owl!" I cried happily, almost ripping the letter off the owls leg.

Sophia, (It read)

What are you doing now? I'm stuck in stupid Hogwarts, writing a stupid Tansfiguration essay. Look on the back- I've ripped a page out! I can hear you tutting- don't worry, it's only the title page no one'll miss it. My only escape is Hogsmeade this weekend. Why don't you meet me at the Three Broomsticks- as a treat for me? Please? If you're meeting Granger, then I can wait, but PLEASE? Pretty please with bertie beans on top? S'il vous plait? Merci merci merci!

Draco Malfoy the hot Slytherin.

"What does it say what does it say?" Ginny goggled.

"I...I think he's asking me on a date." I gasped.

"Draco Malfoy asked Hermione Granger on a date?" Ginny raised her eyebrows.

"No, not Hermione Granger, Sophia. Plus, it's Hermione Elddir now." I smirkled.

"No difference she's still a Gryffindor you-know-what to him." Ginny recalled.

"But he knows not about me being Sophia. And he asked Sophia. And guess what? Sophia's going to say yes." I grinned and she squealed.

"Phia you're first date!" she exclaimed. "Write back to him!" I giggled and picked up a quill that was lying around.

Draco, (I wrote)

I don't care if it's just the title page, that's a piece of a book you ripped out mister! And what's more, Hogwarts isn't stupid, I'd do anything to go there with you! As for Hogsmeade, what wouldn't I do to come- all that's happening is a poxy Deatheater meeting anyway and that's not fun at all (Apart from when I put Chilli powder in all of Belletrix's food!). So I'll see you at the Three Broomsticks? Yay. By the way for refrence Hermione has a new surname. It's Welsh and it's Elddir, Riddle backwards. It's all we could think of in short notice. And for the record darling, you're not hot. You're super-mega-foxy awesome hot!

Sophia Lily Riddle- Voldemort's daughter.

"Phia I'm so excited for you!" Ginny squealed from over my shoulder.

"Don't read my letters Ginerva Weasley." I scolded. She shrugged, and grinned at me.

"You stated he was super-mega-foxy-awesome hot." She babbled, "You said he was super-mega-foxy-awesome hot! YOU SAID HE'S SUPER-MEGA-FOXY-AWESOME HOT! YOU SAID THAT DRA-"

"Ginny shut up people can hear you you know!" I growled.

"And?" Ginny questioned.

"And, hey, what a shock it will be when HERMIONE ELDDIR is found that she likes DRACO MALFOY." I replied.

"You don't just like him, you think that he's- Super-"

"Yes Ginny I think I've realised that now." I laughed, putting the letter to Kevin's leg and watching him fly away.

"Sorry Phia. Just once more." She pleaded.

"Fine." I admitted.

"Hermione thinks Draco Malfoy is super-mega-foxy-awesome hot!" Ginny said walking down the stairs.

"She think's who is super-mega-foxy-awesome hot?" I heard a voice gasp.

"Did she just say MALFOY?"

A/N: ... And another cliffhanger. What did you think of the chapter? Too short? Too stupid? What about the surname? I thought it was better than the others I'd thought of... (Aihpos and Ylil...) Oh, and is forcibly a word? Spell check didn't underline when I wrote it but still I wonder... Please review!
