Author's Notes

Hermione Granger never knew her parents - but she always knew who she was: a Muggle-born witch, a loyal friend, and a fighter for what's right.
But when Voldemort returns and the war begins to stir, long-buried truths come to light - and Hermione learns that she's not who the world thought she was.
Thrust into a life of secrecy and lies, Hermione must navigate a world that sees her as a symbol of power and legacy. With Severus Snape as her reluctant mentor, she walks a dangerous line between two identities, forced to play a part she never asked for.
This is a character-driven reimagining of Order of the Phoenix, where family is complicated, fatherhood is hard, and pretending to be the villain may be the only way to survive.Hermio
