A/N: I do not own anything in this story. This is an AU story in which Hermione is Blaise Zabini's twin sister. Thought I made them related I tried to keep the story as much as the same as the books and the events that happened in them. There are however, exceptions such as Hermione being a pureblood not muggle born as well as other things that will be explained at some point in the story. The whole point of Fan Fiction is to explore your imagination and to create your own stories with the characters. Please be opened minded and give a chance.

Chapter 1: The Return

Draco Malfoy was thinking about the predicament that he was now in. He was hiding in a fairly large cabinet in his father study to which he just banged his head on a shelf and was rubbing it. His intention when he had entered into the study was to just try and find his wand which he had once again misplaced. Seeing as the last place that he had it was is father's study he returned back there only to be distracted by a fairly old looking book that was sitting on the desk. Any other book in the Malfoy Mansion he would have simply overlooked. In fact every other book in their mansion was almost in mint condition, they even had some original copies of Hogwarts a History being well over a hundred years old still in mint condition.

There was something about this book though and curiosity got the better of him. The cover of the book was covered with symbols he didn't recognize. There were book marks in it with certain pages that his father was obviously interested in. He opened the book to one of the book marks. There was what looked like an ancient symbol of an eye which again he didn't recognize. Too many questions about why his father would be so interested in such a symbol began to swarm in his head, but his thoughts were interrupted with voices coming from down the hall. Draco quickly placed the book back on his father's desk and found his misplaced wand. Not wanting to be caught in his father's study he climbed into the large cabinet that brought him back to the predicament that he was in now.

Considering the fact that Draco was now an adult that ran part of Malfoy Inc and was hiding in a cabinet made him feel like he was 10 years old again. He could remember hiding here from his father when he was younger and in trouble. His father's voice finally entered the study and Draco leaned his head closer to the cabinet door to get a better listen to whom and what they were talking about.

'We need to find the bearer of it' Lucius said pouring some fire whiskey

'I know this and we have been trying if you have an idea of how to find this person then please shed some light cause I have personally run out of ideas' replied the mans voice

'We'll have to search the books again there must be something that we are missing somewhere or somehow to summon the bearer or other.'

The man checking his pocket watch for the time 'We will discuss this mater later. I have something that I need to attend to.' He then shook Lucius hand and the two walk out.

Draco stepped out of the cabinet reeling about what his father was talking about.

'The bearer? The bearer of what?'

He shook his head having no idea what his father was up to, but knowing he needed to get out of his study and now.

******************************************************

It had been about a year and a half since Hermione Zabini had been home to see her family. She had spent the past 22 months in a wizard community as a healer in Cairo. As she stepped off the train onto the platform at Kings Crossing memories began to flood her head as she passed the entrance way to Platform 9 ¾. She could remember the first time that her mother had taken her and her twin brother Blaise through it to board the train. That is where it all began for her, where she met all her friends and the adventures that she had had with them. It always made interesting conversations when people asked what houses Hermione and Blaise had been in. Most thought that they would be paired in the same house, but as fate had it they were separated into totally different houses. Hermione in Gryffindor and Blaise in Slytherin. It had been just about four years since she had graduated Hogwarts and seen most of her friends. She did keep in touch with a couple of them.

She was quickly pulled from her memories when she could hear her mother screaming in delight to see her followed by her brother. Hermione smile grew with the familiar sight of them. It was indeed good to be home with the people that she loved. Hermione's mother Cecilia Zabini was a very beautiful women standing at 5'5 with dark wavy hair and hazel eye. Though she was in her 40's her complexion gave her a look that she was younger.

As for Blaise he as well as their mother had dark hair and a similar complexion with the exception that both he and Hermione had inherited their brown eye color from their father Amon Zabini. Blaise had matured and looked more like their father now standing at 5'11.

'Hermione! Oh my sweet girl" Cecilia said embracing her in a life threaten hug 'Oh I'm so happy that you are home again. We have missed you so much.'

'I've miss you too mum' Hermione said stepping away from her and gave her brother a hug too

'So how was the trip home' Blaise asked

'Long, very long' Hermione smiled back at them

'My goodness Hermione look at you, you are glowing. You look beautiful.'

'Mum'

Hermione as well as her mother stood at 5'5 with toned legs and arms that stood out in the pink tank top that she wore with the perfect amount of cleavage showing and a brown skirt that reached her shins. Her once big bush hair now fell in long wavy curls like her mothers. Her skin was flawless with a tint of make-up on and she had an energy about her that was vibrant.

'Oh my baby sister has finally grown up. It's about time if I must say.' Blaise smirked as they headed toward their portkey to go home.

'Oh please Blaise I hardly consider you being 3 minutes older then me a big difference'

'Oh, but my dear baby sister Hermione it does make a difference.'

The three then began their journey home.

'So Blaise how is your job at the ministry going' (Blaise was the head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports)

'Oh it is just brilliant. There is actually a really big game of Chudley Cannons vs Puddlemere United coming up in a next week would you like to go? I can get a couple of tickets if you'd like.'

'That would be great and I'm sure Ginny would love to go with me. I told her that we would catch up this week when I got back'

'Hermione dear, I forgot to mention to you that for your return home we have made plans to go to the Phoenix Club for dinner… We are meeting the Malfoy's there for dinner around 7pm.' Cecilia said

'Do we have to you know how much I detest that little ferret that Blaise calls his best friend. Honest Blaise couldn't you have pick your best friends a little better'

'Oh and you are one to talk being best friends with the Weasley's and the notorious Harry Potter.'

'Yeah well at least my friends don't go around making professional gits out of themselves. Tell me Blaise did you see my friends constently pestering you when we were going to school. NO! because I know how to pick my friends correctly.'

'That is enough the both of you. You two sound like you are still in your first year at Hogwarts. Now Hermione there is nothing wrong with Draco. He has grown up to become a very nice man on the contrary to what you have rememberd him to have been. As for you Blaise the Weasley's and Harry have always been a bit more pleasant to have dealt with then you and Draco growing up considering how much trouble the two of you would get into all the time. If your father or even his parents knew half of the things the two of you did I can garentee you that you probably would not be standing there.' She yelled at the both of them

Hermione and Blaise just looked at each other tring to hold back a laugh. Oh how they loved getting there mum mad.

Finally arriving at the portkey with was an old newspaper that was just sitting on a bench they all braced themselves as they felt that familiar pull. They landed in the courtyard right outside their mansion. Blaise and her mum had walked ahead of her as she stood there for a moment just looking at the place where she had grown up as well as run away from.

'Hermione? You okay?'

Hermione smiled as her mum

'Yeah, I was just thinking.'

She then walked up the steps and back into the real world.
