"Hermione, there's a letter for you." Hermione heard Ginny yell. She hurried down several flights of stairs and grabbed the letter. She opened it and read it quickly.
Dear Miss Granger,
We here at the Ministry have some news to give you. We would be happy if you would come to the Ministry as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Alinda Barstin
Hermione informed Mrs. Weasley of the letter; the woman agreed to take her to the Ministry.
Together they flooed to the atrium of the Ministry. Hermione walked to the main desk. "How may I help you?" The witch asked. "I received a letter from the Ministry about news they needed to give me." The woman nodded. She led Hermione down a hall to a door that read 'Family Relations'. Hermione walked in. A woman with violet hair cropped in to a bob looked up. "You must be Miss Granger." Hermione nodded. "I'm Alinda Barstin, I am head of the department of Family Relations." She said. "What news does the Ministry need to tell me?" Hermione asked. Alinda smiled. "The Ministry has decided that you are old enough to know this. Hermione, you have a brother." Hermione was taken aback. "You are a Pure-Blood, and your name is Carina Malfoy." Hermione's eyes widened. "I-I can't be a Malfoy," She stuttered, "My hair isn't blonde." Alinda chuckled. "You aught to know better, being the smartest witch of you age. We're magic we used a spell to change that. I have the reverse spell right here." She waved her wand and Hermione's scalp itched. She ran a hand through her hair to feel silky smooth touch her fingertips. Alinda handed her a mirror. Looking into it Hermione saw that her hair was straight and platinum blonde. Her eyes were no longer brown, but grey.
"What are Harry and Ron going to say? Malfoy is their mortal enemy." Hermione asked. "You just have to hide it then." Was all she said before she pushed Hermione into a room. There was a chair facing away from them she could see the top of a blonde head. "Mister Malfoy, your sister is here." Alinda said. Draco stood and turned around. He came up and extended his hand. "So this is Carina. What was your name before? Maybe we were friends." "Doubt it." Hermione said under her breath. "Her name was Hermione Granger." Alinda said. Draco took back his hand quickly. "Granger is my sister?" He asked disgusted. "Don't sound so upset, Malfoy, I'm your sister now." Draco looked at her. "Good point." He extended his hand once more. Hermione took it and shook. "Welcome to the family, Carina." He said pulling her into a hug.
