AN – Hello everyone! I decided to finally start my own story based off the Amazing world of Harry Potter shared with us by J.K. Rowling! I figured out that I should throw out some warnings before the story that there WILL be femslash, Het, and Slash later on. I'm not 100% sure when I'm going to start adding in romances, so I rated my story M just as a precaution. At most, my story/stories, will only get as, um, "dirty" as kissing and innuendo at the moment. Be forewarned, this story is EXTREMELY AU! So as to not confuse it with what's in the books/movies. My hope is that at least the general "Guide Line" will be staying, but pairings? /Scoff… Anyways, (obligatory disclaimer *insert here*) the story locations, character names (all but my OC), and generally EVERYTHING in this story is not mine. Like, at all. A bit sad really… Oh well, at least the OC/story idea/twisted mind belongs to me… /pout
Prologue: The Twins Who Rebelled…
September, 1986
The Granger's were believed to be an average family of four. The father, Dan Granger, a tall strong man with short brown hair and striking green eyes, was a Dentist alongside his wife with their own practice. His wife, Emma Granger, a quite short and athletic woman with blonde hair and brown eyes, spent most of her time at work when she was not able to be around her children and husband, preferring to stay busy instead of allowing herself to become, dare she say it, bored. Then there were the twins, bright and outrageously brilliant Hermione Granger with her bushy brown hair, honey brown eyes and tall stature, and her athletic, extremely protective, klutzy sister, Ravenna Granger, who looked exactly like Hermione except for the startling green eyes filled with mischief and short spiky blonde hair.
When out and about in town, the Granger's seemed absolutely normal to the townsfolk. Little Hermione did seem more than just a little intimidating with her brilliance, yet, when taunted by the younger children, her sister Ravenna would chase them off before they could even really hurt young Hermione's feelings. While Hermione seemed brilliant, her sister Ravenna seemed to not care much at all for school. Surprisingly enough, Hermione never pushed her sister to study beyond what was needed to do her homework.
What the townsfolk didn't know was that Dan Granger used to be part of the SAS, in service of 'Her Majesty' the Queen. His wife Emma, had an extremely sharp wit and attitude, and could more than likely stand toe to toe with Death himself and make him cry. Then she would twist her words into having him following her obediently. As it turns out, Hermione takes after her mother to the point where Dan decided to teach both girls self-defense in both Hand to Hand combat and later with weapons, so they could be prepared for anything.
Before starting their training a week later, Dan had pulled Ravenna aside.
"Rave," Dan muttered after stopping her from joining her twin in the backyard, "I plan on teaching the two of you everything I know, as well as having your mother teach Hermione how to 'read' people's eyes and actions and a basic understanding of politics. I was wondering if you would like me to teach you, not only self-defense, but how to successfully apply that to any situation, not just straight forward fights, as well as a secret past time that I enjoy called Paintball. I find that we are missing a player for even teams when my old SAS group gets together for a few rounds of the game."
Ravenna stared at her father in surprise, to stunned to reply at first.
"I'd love that Da, anything to be able to protect Mione!" Ravenna paused for a moment, "Though I was wondering if you could also teach me things like park-our and allow us about an hour or two every day or so for free time so Hermione can keep reading her Books and I can join you for these 'paintball' games?"
Dan gave a happy grin to Ravenna, nodding his agreement before tugging her out the back door for them to join Hermione and get started on their defense training. After all, in a mere three days, the twins would be turning seven!
