Hermione paced the floor of the Burrow, magic crackling through her riotous curls.

"How dare he?" she growled. "How dare that-that wolf come here, attack us and then act like nothing had happened as he told me about my supposed birth parents."

Harry watched his friend pace for a few minutes before asking, "Did you know you were adopted?"

She snorted delicately, "Of course I knew. I did my research. I found the paperwork. Plus, I did more research when I was told by someone that a Muggleborn witch shouldn't be able to do the magic I can."

Bill's brows furrowed. "Who told you this?"

"Draco Malfoy and Professor Snape," was all she said before continuing her pacing.

"The ferret told you? And the greasy git?" Ron snarled, or at least tried to before he caught Hermione's glare.

She growled exasperated at her redhead friend. "Really, Ron? We're adults now, act like it. Stop with the name calling."

"They should both be rotting away in Azkaban." Ron stated.

Harry groaned, "Not this again. It's because if both Hermione and I, that they aren't in Azkaban. Shape was a spy for the order. Draco, well, he knew it was us at the Manor but didn't say. He didn't want to be a Death Eater, his father forced him. You've been told this multiple times. Get it through your head."

Ron narrowed his eyes at his best friend, "You-you're siding with those murderers?"

Magic flared in all directions at Ron's outburst. Charlie and Bill moaned softly as it caressed their own magic. It completely missed Harry and flew around him. Ron was the unlucky one to catch most of it with his own body.

He flew backwards with the force it hit him. "Damn it. Seriously? What was that, 'Mione?" He groaned from the floor, rubbing his head where it hit the floor in his fall.

"Oh. He's gonna get it now." Ginny stated from the doorway to the kitchen. "I'm watching."

Her siblings, minus Ron, and Harry laughed at her statement before turning their attention back to Hermione.

"Excuse me? What did you call me? You know perfectly well I hate that name. You need to get off your fucking high horse and stop bring down Draco Malfoy and Severus Shape. They didn't murder anyone, without that person's consent," she interjected when his mouth opened, "you need to stop acting like you're so much better than them. You left Harry and I, during the horcrux hunt. We almost died. Just stop acting like you're better than everyone, because you're not."

Ginny giggled softly, "Hermione said fuck."

Harry joined in her laughter after giving Hermione a hug.

"Who knew the Golden Girl knew such words." Charlie joked.

Hermione met his mischievous blue eyes and smirked, "I know a lot more than that."

Charlie's eyes flared with unspoken desire at her cheek.

Bill propped his chin in his hand and smirked, "Do tell. What other words do you know?"

Laughing, Hermione told him, "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."

Bill's eyes flashed amber at the challenge she undoubtedly knew. Hermione's smile widened at that amber flash.

"Where's Victoire?" Hermione asked suddenly, needing to know where the smallest member of the Weasley family was.

Instinct. A voice sounded in her head.

Her eyes narrowed slightly in thought.

Ginny was the one to answer, "She's with Mum."

Safe. The voice sounded again.

Eyes narrowing slightly in thought, "I'm curious as to what Greyback wanted to accomplish by telling me that I was borne from a werewolf."

"He's insane." Harry stated, pushing his glasses up his nose. "But his motive is unknown, unfortunately."

Hermione sighed, "That's the point of it, isn't it? He wanted us to stew it over. He wants us to need him. That's his motive."

"He's absolutely barmy." Ron stated.

"No, he calculates his moves. It's a game to him. A chess game if you will." Hermione explained carefully, watching her friend's reactions.

"Do you believe him?" Bill asked.

"There is a charm that can tell who your parents are. I just don't know if I want to do it." Hermione told everyone.

"You may not have a choice now." Charlie stated matter of factly.

Hermione sighed deeply. "I know. That's what scares me. It's not the fact that one or both my parents may have been werewolves. It's the fact, that I have to find out now, today."

"So you want to do it today?" Harry asked his best friend.

Shrugging, she stated, "I don't have much of a choice now, do I?"

Harry frowned, "Suppose not."

"Then let's do it." Ginny said somberly. "What do we need?"

"Parchment and the wand of the person being cast upon." Hermione told her. Ginny nodded before summoning the parchment.

"What's the charm?" Ginny asked.

"Familia revelatum." Hermione told her showing Ginny the proper wand motion. Once Ginny was comfortable without her, she cast it upon Hermione.

"It will take a few minutes before the results appear on the parchment." Hermione explained as everyone automatically looked to the blank parchment on the ground.

"Not really." Ginny whispered as the results appeared in inky lettering on the parchment.

"What the fuck?!" Hermione exclaimed.
