Hermione slept restlessly that night. Her dreams were filled with a man who looked to be around his mid twenties with shoulder length raven coloured hair and grey eyes. The man held his hand out to her and his mouth was moving though no sounds came out. He looked at her with a look she often received from Harry and the Weasleys, and a long time ago her own parents... Love. She tried to reach out her own hand but found that she could not move, only watch the man in front of her. A hand appeared on his shoulder and Hermione tried to crane her neck to see who it was but she could not. She studied the hand on his shoulder,... it was small, slim with thin delicate fingers. The nails were plain but clearly manicured. Feminine. She tried to stare over the man's shoulder and finally saw a face start to appear from the fog behind him. It was a woman's face. It was HER face? But it also wasn't, not quite. The woman's face was similar to her own, slim but with a sharp jaw, a sleek nose and a mouth that quirked just slightly to the side like her own when she grinned. The only thing that was different was her hair. The woman's eyes matched her own, a deep brown that was almond shaped, but her hair was longer, sleeker and a more even colour. Light brown hair fell smoothly to just below her collarbones, unlike her own mane of warm brown and honey tangles. 'The two make quite a pair' she thought to herself.

Now the woman stood next to the man, a hand also extended to her. They both mouthed something she couldn't quite hear but they both looked so familiar to her. The man looked like someone she had seen before and when she sorted through the men in her mind that she knew she only came up with one name... Sirius Black. But this was not him, he was younger and more looming. But who could likehim but definitely isn't him. The name sprung forth almost immediately and it felt like she'd been hit in the head... Regulus Black.
'This is my father' she thought to herself. It made sense, she could maybe see some similarities in herself but not many, though apparently the test did not lie. This was her father. But that meant that the woman next to him, the woman that looked so much like herself, 'that must be my mother... Catherine Nott'. She wasn't aware of it at the time but when she had these thoughts they echoed aloud so that the two people before her also heard. 'These are my parents'.

Their attempts at talking became more passionate, more alight, and soon silence became muffled whispered, then dull words. She strained her ears to try to understand what they were saying.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're saying... I can't hear you", Hermione pleaded, reaching her own arm out toward them.

"Sss..."

"What is it?" Hermione implored.

"Sssss-ttttteeee"

Hermione tried to reach even further toward them. Their hands almost reached her own and their voices became louder. Hermione felt her body be able to move and slightly shifted her feet.

"Please, what are you trying to say" Hermiones fingertips almost brushed theirs. She was finally able to lift her foot up and in a final burst of energy she threw herself forward, lunging a leg toward them. She felt her fingers brush theirs and a jolt of electricity go through her body. A bright light flashed and the last thing she heard was two voices shout;

"STELLA!"

Hermione sat up with a gasp. She swore she could still see the bright light everyone time she blinked.

"My parents... those were my parents, Regulus and Catherine" she thought aloud to herself. "I need to see them again, I need to know the two in that dream were them."

Though she didn't know how she could, as far as she knew no one knew they were together and she wouldn't know where to get any pictures or proof of them. She needed something to confirm their existence together, but where? As quickly as she questioned herself the answer came to her, 'Grimmauld Place... It should still have the Black Familt Tapestry'. If it was true that Regulus Black married Catherine Nott it would no doubt show it on the Tapestry!
