It was the first day of September and the first day of Hermione Granger's last year at Hogwarts. She was Head Girl and she should have been getting off the school train right about now. Instead she was on the longest flight of her life across the Atlantic Ocean to start at the Salem Institute of Magic.

How did this happen to me? she wondered. And then she thought back.

It all started when the owls arrived with book lists for the new term. Ron and Hermione each had a letter saying they were the new Head Boy and Girl and Mrs Weesley was planning a party for them for tonight. Instead of a booklist however Hermione had gotten a letter from Dumbledore.

Dear Miss Granger

Please do not read this letter until u are in private

It was breakfast so Hermione said she had to go upstairs to the bathroom and then went upstairs and took the letter to read.

Dear Miss Granger

Please do not read this letter until you are in private. I regret to tell you that you will not be returning to Hogwarts this year.

"What was the fucking POINT of sending me my HEAD GIRL badge then!" said Hermione out loud. She read on.

Your place as Head Girl at the school will be taken by your twin sister, Jessica Ann Monaghan. I realiz this will come as a shock to you but u were adopted by Robert and Jane Granger when you were a child. You are not really a Muggle you are the daughter of a very rich and influential pureblooded family and you have a twin sister. Your real parents live in California with your twin sister Jessica who you have never met. Unfortunately your parents are two of Voldemort's most trusted Death Eaters and they are now trying to bring his mission to America. As the best student at Hogwarts you will go undercover for a year and take Jessica's place at the Salem Institute of Magic while u investigate.

Hermione could not continue for a minute. Her head was spinning. This had to be some kind of joke she thought, but it was in Dumbledore's handwriting and on the special Hogwarts headed notepaper. She got out her wand and tapped the letter. "Spesialis Revelio" she said btu it really did seem to be just an ordinary letter. So - it was true? She was an America pureblood with a twin sister? Then who were her parents the dentissts? It just didn't make any sense.

Miss Monaghan is as shocked at this news as you are. Your adoptoive parents Mr and Mrs Granger have been taken to hide at a safe place by the Order so u will not be able to contac them. I will come to see you and Mr potter this evening so be waiting outside at 8:00 tonight.

Yours sincerely

Albus Dumbledore

Hermione put the letter down in shock. "Your not fucking serious" she said out loud and then she thought. Tonight? What would Dumbledore say to her and what did Harry have to do with it? Was she going to be meeting this Jessica Monaghan tonight? As upset as she was Hermione was beginning to think it would be pretty cool to have a twin. She'd always wanted to have a twin sister when she was younger.

"What am I going to do." she wailed and then she thought Of course there was only one thing to do. She had to talk to Harry and Ron RIGHT NOW.

She went to the top of the stairs "Harry Ronald" she shouted, and after a minute they came running to the bottom.

"mione what do u want" Ron called up there "I'm trying to eat my pancakes."
"Never mind that Ron Weasley this is more important now come on! Emergency meeting in your bedroom" Hermione shouted and Harry and ron went upstairs after her.

A/N I have had to take this down and repost it b/c it didn't show up 4 sum reason. R + R plz and I'll see u with the next chappy soon!
