The Granger Dilemma
1. -Twin Sister?-
Hermione yawned and stretched in her huge king-sized four poster bed. She loved the holidays because she could sleep as long as she liked, sometimes even until mid-day. Life seemed luscious and relaxing. She had spoken to Harry and Ron a few times, and Hermione was planning on spending the month of August at Ron's house. Harry was going to come as well. She just couldn't wait to see them again!
She jumped off her bed, checking the alarm clock, she said to herself, "Wow, 13:00 pm, I've slept right through breakfast. Must be lunch time now!" With that though thought she rushed into the bathroom to take a quick shower before fetching something to eat. Her stomach was already grumbling with hunger as she smelled her mother's delicious cooking all the way from the kitchen downstairs.
Putting on some shorts and a string top, she ran down stairs never expecting to be shocked out of her mind.
"Aaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhh!!!!!!" she shrieked at the sight. "Mum!!!!!!!!!!! Come quick!!! Aaaaaaaarrrgghh!" she screamed in fright.
Hermione's mum came running into the kitchen as fast as she could, "What is it honey?" she asked looking concerned.
"Who's that?????????" she yelled at her mum, pointing at the girl leaning against the kitchen counter, eating an apple, who God knows how, looked like Hermione's carbon copy.
"Oh...um...darling....this is your..err... twin sister, Felicity Granger," her mum answered quietly.
"What?" Hermione shuddered, her eyes wide with shock.
"Yes dear, she is your identical twin," her mother spoke calmly.
"B-b-but how???!?" Hermione asked, unable to stop the tingling sensation that was taking over her body. Her stomach felt like it was turning over and over. She felt like she would gag.
"Well, sweetheart," Hermione's mother took a deep breath and spoke, "She's been with foster parents all this time. Apparently, she is a witch just like you. However, her foster parents have decided that it's too risky to have a witch in their family and therefore have abandoned her. That's why we took her back in."
"But, why did you leave her with foster parents anyways?" Hermione asked, looking bewildered.
"Because, honey, at that time we couldn't afford to provide for two children. It took us more than enough trouble to feed one mouth, nevertheless two," her mother explained, "Your father and I were not as wealthy as we are now, in fact we weren't wealthy at all."
"Oh," was all Hermione could utter as she looked at the girl who had all the features she saw in herself when she looked into the mirror each day. The only difference in their appearance was that Felicity had blonde streaks in her brown hair, which was straightened, unlike Hermione's which was still as bushy as ever.
"Hermione, could you please take Felicity upstairs and the two of you can get to know each other," Hermione's mum asked her.
"All right," Hermione answered and beckoned for Felicity to come upstairs, "Come on then."
Felicity followed Hermione upstairs awkwardly. In Hermione's room, Felicity plopped down on Hermione's bed. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two sisters. Then, Hermione started, "Um..Felicity-"
She was interrupted by Felicity saying, "Please, call me Felicia, I've never been called Felicity, I don't like that name, makes me feel nauseous."
"Okay..Felicia, then..did you know that you had a twin sister?" Hermione questioned.
"No," Felicia sighed. "I only found out yesterday, and my reaction was much worse than yours," she said raising an eyebrow and smiling.
"Oh..." Hermione said, and gazed out the window, not knowing what to say.
"You, know I always dreamed of having a sister, I never thought I'd already have one," Felicia grinned, "And a twin sister too!"
"Me neither," Hermione said turning towards her twin sister from the window.
Suddenly there was the sound of two pops and Harry and Ron apparated right into Hermione's bedroom.
Hermione was so surprised; she lost her ability to speak for a second before she squealed, "Harry! Ron!" and threw her arms around each of them in turn.
After the trio had greeted each other, that was when Harry saw the other girl, who looked exactly like Hermione. He ogled and his mouth fell open.
Ron jokingly questioned, "Hey Hermione, you never told us you were making a clone!"
"Ron!" Hermione huffed, her eyes flashing dangerously.
Harry knew they were about to have a major argument and quickly turned to Felicia and asked, "Who are you?"
Felicia took a deep breath and said, "Apparently, I'm Hermione's twin sister."
"But-but-but how?" Ron stuttered rubbing his eyes and checking whether he was having a hallucination.
"It seems that, Felicia here, has been with foster parents for all this time, but they ditched her because they thought it was too perilous to have a witch in their family," Hermione informed Harry and Ron
"Oh," Harry stuttered, "So.um.will you be going to Hogwarts?"
Right at that moment, as if by chance, an owl carrying an envelope flew in through the window, and landed next to Felicia on the bed. The owl dropped the envelope into her lap and flew off.
Felicia slowly ripped open the envelope and read the parchment which fell out.
Dear Miss. Felicity Granger,
You have been dismissed from your old school, and accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We hope to see you on September the 1st! Welcome to Hogwarts!
Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall
P.S Attached to this letter is a parchment containing a list of all the things which you will need.
Felicia's eyes finished whizzing across the letter and she replied, "Yep, I sure will be going to Hogwarts," she grinned.
"Man, everyone's going to be stunned when they see double Hermione's!" Ron exclaimed.
"Come on, you guys, we don't look exactly alike!" Hermione whined, and Felicia nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, see, Hermione's hair is wavy and brown, mine's straight and dirty blonde in colour," Felicia told them.
"That's only a slight difference," Harry smirked, "If not for that, you two would look exactly the same."
Felicia got up with a start and huffed, "So, what? I can't change that, can I?" she said, her temper rising.
"Chill," Ron exclaimed, "Harry was only teasing."
"Yeah, well, I don't like teasing!" Felicia pouted, her hands resting on her hips. That was when Harry noticed that there were a few namely differences between Hermione and Felicia. Felicia had what Fed and George used to go on and on about, 'a figure', while Hermione, was still trying to gain one. Felicia's hair made a statement. Hermione's hair could never be kept in order. Felicia was even an inch or two taller than Hermione, coming up just over Harry's shoulder. These differences would no doubt make Hermione feel jealous, and may lead to major disputes between the sisters.
Harry was interrupted from his thoughts by Hermione asking, "Hey! How did you two apparate here?"
"Oh," Harry grinned, "Dumbledore thought that I should have my apparition test early because of Voldemort and all."
"Yeah, and he let me have mine at the same time too!" Ron exclaimed, looking overjoyed.
"Wow, that's great, wish I could have mine too," Hermione sighed.
"You can as soon as you've had your 16th birthday, Harry and I have already had ours," said Ron, coming over and sitting down on Hermione's bed. "Which reminds me, Mother said that you can come over and stay with us until the end of summer vacation."
"Hey, that's great!" Hermione smiled, "I was starting to think summer vacation was nothing but a time of pure boredom, there's absolutely nothing to do around here," with that, she cried, "Accio Trunk!"
Hermione's trunk appeared and she started packing all her things into it. "Hey Ron, what about Felicia, we can't just leave her, right? She's going to Hogwarts now too," said Harry looking over at Ron questioningly.
"Oh yeah, let me go an ask mum," Ron said before apparating back at the Burrow.
Felicia was looking slightly worried, and Harry tried to reassure her, "I'm sure Mrs. Weasley will let you come and stay, she won't mind."
"Yeah, though she will be surprised to see another Hermione," Hermione chipped in.
All of a sudden, Ron apparated with a pop, beaming, he announced, "Mum, was shocked when I told her that Hermione had a twin sister, but she said that she'd be happy to have Felicia over."
"Felicia smiled and said, "Great, for a second I thought I'd be stuck here all by myself, I'm not really a family person, especially after living with horrid foster parents."
"I know what you mean, my aunt and uncle are like foster parents anyways," Harry shrugged, "Actually, I think they're even worse."
"Hey!" cried out Ron, as if he had just realized something, "We didn't even introduce ourselves!" He walked over to Felicia and extended his hand out to her, shaking her hand he said, "I'm Ron Weasley."
"Harry Potter," Harry said, shaking her hand after Ron.
"Hey, I've heard about you," Felicia said, her eyebrow rising, "You're the boy who lived, right?"
"Yeah," replied Harry, the back of his neck started to feel all heated.
"Cool!" she exclaimed, "Nice to meet you!" After pausing for a second, she looked at Ron and said, "And you too, Ron."
Ron blushed slightly before exclaiming, "Hey, I bought some floo powder, for the two of you," he nodded towards Hermione and then Felicia.
After Harry and Ron had explained to Mr. and Mrs. Granger that Hermione and Felicia would be staying at Ron's place for the rest of the summer. Hermione and Felicia went to the Burrow using floo powder and Harry and Ron apparated.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione stumbled out of the fireplace, to see Harry and Ron, who were already there. A few seconds later, Felicia stepped out of the fireplace gracefully, not a single hair on her head seemed out of place, while Hermione was covered in soot and dust.
"Wow, how did you do that?" Ron asked.
"Do what?" Felicia asked raising an eyebrow.
"Come by floo powder and look so clean and fresh." Ron exclaimed shaking his head unbelievingly.
"Oh," Felicia chuckled, "There's a little spell you can use before you put the floo powder in the fireplace."
"You should show me how to do that spell sometime," Hermione grumbled, brushing the dirt off her clothes.
Mrs. Weasley came through the door humming to herself, and carrying a pile of plates. However, when she saw Felicia, all her plates fell clattering to the floor. She looked like she'd seen a ghost.
"Mum, this is Felicia, Hermione's twin sister," Ron explained, helping his mum pick up the pieces of the plates which were scattered all across the kitchen floor.
"Well, hello there, this is a surprise," Mrs. Weasley uttered coming closer, "You two look exactly alike, just like my boys Fred and George!"
"Not really," Hermione stammered, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Nearly," Mrs. Weasley said and hugged them both, "I'm so glad to have both of you here," then she saw Harry and hugged him too, "Harry dear, It's great to see you again!" Seeing Ron, trying to collect the broken pieces of the plates, she exclaimed, "Don't bother Ron, I'll do it." With a swish of her wand, the plates were put back together, looking brand new again.
Felicia looked at her surroundings and thoughts, This looks more homely than the place I've been living in for the last 15 years. She was bought abruptly out of her thoughts by Mrs. Weasley exclaiming, "Well, you four go on outside and have some fun!"
Hermione, Felicia and Harry followed Ron outside. Fred and George appeared in front of them with a loud bang. They started greeting Harry, Hermione and Ron. George's eyes caught sight of Felicia and he exclaimed, "Blimey!! Who's this?"
"I'm Felicia, Hermione's sister," Felicia introduced herself to the boy with bright crimson hair standing in front of her.
"You mean Hermione's twin sister," Fred exclaimed, looking at Felicia, his mouth was hanging open.
"Yeah," Felicia uttered, her mouth forming a straight line.
"Don't be rude and stare like that Fred!" George mock glared at his brother and took Felicia's hand, kissing it lightly, he introduced himself, "George Weasley."
Fred came up and pushed his brother out of the way and took her hand, "Fred Weasley."
Hermione watched them falling all over themselves to introduce themselves to her twin sister. A deep jealousy, hatred and sadness filled her eyes. She had to avert her eyes from her sister, before she knew they'd get filled with tears.
Harry saw the look in Hermione's eyes but decided not to question it as he knew this look extremely well. He had seen it a number of times on Ron's face, when he looked at Harry. "How's the joke shop going?" Harry asked Fred and George.
"Swell!" George exclaimed.
"Yep, business is booming!" exclaimed Fred Weasley.
"Who's up for a game of Quidditch?" George asked.
"Awesome! I'll play!" Felicia grinned.
"I'll go get Ginny, I'm sure she wants to play," Hermione said and went off to get Ginny.
As they walked towards an open field carrying their brooms, Harry asked Felicia, "Was there a Quidditch team in your old school?"
"Uh-huh," Felicia replied, "I used to be a Chaser on it."
"Cool, are you any good?" Harry asked smiling.
"You'll see," Felicia said and smirked.
Soon they were playing Quidditch and Harry found out exactly how good Felicia was. There's another difference between Hermione and Felicia, he realized, Hermione was scared of heights and wouldn't dare go near a broom unless she had to, while Felicia was a fabulous Quidditch player.
After the game, they all went into the kitchen, starving. However, after eating one of Mrs. Weasley's delicious meals, they were full to the brim and went upstairs.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*
Long after Hermione and Ginny went to sleep, Felicia lay awake on her bed twisting and turning. She couldn't get to sleep no matter how hard she tried. She pulled the quilt aside and got off the bed. Walking towards the window, she hoisted herself onto the windowsill and sat there curled up into a ball, staring at the dark sky, lit with bright shining starts.
Suddenly, someone clasped a hand over her mouth and pulled her outside of the window. She tried to scream but couldn't. In front of her was a handsome man with dark hair and a tall build. "W-w-who are y-y-you?" Felicia stammered, shivering in the cold.
