Hogwarts School of witchcraft & Wizardry
The Headmistresses office.
September 2nd 1999
Minerva was pacing back and forth as she looked up at the portrait. In the last day she had been through so many emotions. She was worried for her students despite Albus's reassurances and she had to break up a arguement with those atrocious muggles and the Malfoy's. If she had been told just a day a year or before it occured that she would be thinking positively about Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy over that of the Grangers.. Well someone would be going to St Mongo's as she would have had them commited.
Minerva did not like surprises. She hated them and here in the last day she had two. She knew that as she rubbed her temples,she would feel better once her students were safely returned to the school. On a positive note however she believed she had done well with the sorting of the new Head students as she had not only taken in their academic points into consideration but also their personalities.
Blaise Zabini though a Slytherin was rather quiet and kept mostly to himself. He never made problems the way that Draco Malfoy and most of the other Slytherin students were known for. In fact his quiet nature was more or less why she chose him in the end despite she had initially wanted to chose a student from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff for the position. though in hindsight she could not see that Ravenclaw's brightest student, Luna Lovegood being the best choice for a Head girl only because she had an odd persona.
As for Ginny Weasley. Minerva had slight doubts at first as she knew Ginny well and did not doubt entirely her ability to lead and be a good Head Girl and role model. The doubts lie with her temperment at times. She knew that the young woman was very much like her mother as she also tended to sometimes fly off the handle. Again seeing her paired with someone from Hufflepuff may have been a disaster as the p[erson in question was Ernie McMillian. Ernie was a alright scholor but not near the caliber of either Zabini or Weasley and therefore for the good of her school and it's students she had decided the correct course and decision.
She knew that Ginny Weasley was outgoing and Blaise Zabuini was quiet and reserved. They would make a good Head Boy and head Girl factoring their personalities and that they were both hard working students. So in the end it had been decided. And now she knew atleast for appearances sakes,she could rest a little easier. She was in the middle of a break from one of her classes as she was sipping some tea and eating a strawberry jam tart when the fireplace flashed green and she saw the form of Narcissa Malfoy arrive.
"I am sorry for the surprise visit Minerva, however I would like to speak about Miss Granger if I may please?"
As she said this she brushed off the soot from her clothing as best as she could and walked towards the desk where Minerva was still in a slight shock as well as was holding a tart up to bite and finally snapping out of her shock she placed the tart down and took a sip of tea before calmly asking the other woman.
"Are we now on first name terms Narcissa? What is it exactly you wish to discuss about Miss Granger?"
As she asked this she noticed that Albus's portrait and the others were now all paying attention as Narcissa took a seat and for a moment tried to relax. She looked up a moment at the portrait of Dumbledore then over to Severus who was looking at her as if studying her quietly a moment."I ask if I may have a moment to speak with Albus Dumbledore in private? "
As Narcissa asked this she saw the portrait of Dumbledore smile and heard him chuckle,his blue eyes twinkiling in their amusement.Minerva was astoinded and did not know what to say. She for a moment just stared at Narcissa and then looked over at the portrait and heard him chuickle. It was evident he was up to some sort of mischief perhaps and she sighed. "What say you Albus? Would you like to speak with Mrs Malfoy?"
As she said this she was not surprised when he grinned bigger and nodded. 
"Yes perhaps that would be best. As I have a notion of what she wants to speak aboput. And as the person who handled the adoption of Miss Granger personally,I can elaborate on her identity. I assume that is whaty you wish to speak about Narcissa?"
As he said this Narcissa for a moment wondered why he was being so easy about this. She nodded and folded her hands in her lap as she replied. "It is, you see I am a bit inquisitive as to who she is or was born. I ask not just to be nosey but as a mother who loves her only child. I have reason to believe that perhaps my son Draco and this woman Miss Granger may indeed be a love match. I want that for my son. I would like to know exactly what we are dealing with before I welcome this young woman into my family. What is her heritage and where was she born,why did I not know she was a pureblood?"
Minerva was shocked and surprised by Narcissa'a words as well as she saw she was sincere in them. She really believed that Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy could find love with eachother. For a moment she let that thought and idea sit on her mind as she transfigured another tea cup and handed it to Narcoissa and poured some tea from the silver teapot. "Well it has come to my notice as well that indeed perhaps they are a love match Narcissa. In fact it is pretty certain that they will fall in love and it's fate that determined that when they were born. I can tell you exactly who her parents are and I know that you will be perhaps a bit interested in my tale. As it is I know that all traces of Miss Grangers heritage other than my word and the scroll of parchment in the bottom left drawer of the desk there are the only official documents needed to prove my words.
Minerva you may open the scroll and please if you would read it and allow Narcissa to read of it. Afterwards we will discuss matters openly and honestly and I ask that you keep an open mind Narcissa. I will relate that Miss Granger is the last of her lineage and that it is important for her safety to not reveal what I am about to tell you to anyone.Are we clear on this before I reveal what I know?"
As Albus said this he was looking more at Narcissa and she nodded and said "I understand atleast I agree I won't say what i know and it will not leave this room. Atleast not by my own lips."
As she said this she nodded and Minerva removed the parchment from the desk drawer opened it and made a face of shock and disbelief and looked up at Albus a moment and muttered. "Albus is this true?"
As she said this for a moment her hands shook and she put down the scroll and took a calming breath. Narcissa wondered whta had made the Headmaster of Hogwarts Minerva McGonagall so giddy as she never knew the woman to look a faint in her whole life. Yet she could see Minerva had gone pale a bit and now was trying to keep herself calm. "It is, I was placed with her finding a new home and a good one. I know that it is a bit of a shock.However it is Miss Granger's family and she is the last of her line to bear that name. When she becomes a Malfoy the line may continue on but not her sir name. I know as I say this that there is a very good possibility that she will become Mrs Malfoy. Narcissa i warn you, that this is very important to not say a word until I give you the time in which to express it. It is vital to your son's welfare now as much as Miss Granger's."
Having said this Albus then nodded to Minerva who handed the scroll to Narcissa and she was unraveling it and began to read the first line.As she did she dropped the parchment a moment in surprise then picked it up and began to read again as the initial shock was now ebbing and when she was done she put down the parchment and looked up at the old man. She kept her calm and tried not to show her emotions. "I see. You are certain Albus Dumbledore? I am very surprised and I know that Miss Granger is more suitable of a match than I had hoped. I will of course perhaps need something more stronger than this tea to drink Minerva and please give me a moment to digest this news. I wasn't aware that lineage still had descendants and from what you are showing me,she is a direct descendant of.."
Morgan LeFaye and Salazar Slytherin.
As Narcissa spoke these words her eyes trained to the portrait of Salazar Slytherin and he smirked.
The plot thickens and yes i have a good explaination of how Hermione is descended from Salazar Slytherin.. Her Sir name is Slytherin also 
. Haha, can imagine that Lucius may faint once he finds out. Also, it explain why he will be very intersted in Hermione's heritage.
