Secret Midnight

In this story Hermione has a younger sister. I know for a fact that JK Rowling originally planned on Hermione having a younger muggle sister so I incorporated that in the story. But my version of her sister is completely my own as I am making major changes. There is also going to be a huge age gap between Hermione and her sister. There are also going to be changes in the war as it did happen but I'm changing some deaths around. Both Dumbledore and Snape are going to be alive in the story.

Chapter 2

Hermione Granger got to the outside of her parent's house as she saw their silhouette's in the distance. There was a third silhouette there and she knew who it was. It's her younger sister Demeter. She got to the house opening the door as the figure of her sister hurled at Hermione. Hermione grabbed onto Demeter right there as she buried her face.

"I'm so sorry Hermione I know how much Alina meant to you," said Demeter as she pulled away

While Hermione looked like her father with the medium brown hair and the cognac brown eyes, Demeter looked like their mother with dark brown hair and green eyes. But the two sisters have the same skin tone, eye shape the splatter of freckles on her nose that rose to the tops of their cheeks and soft cheekbones. They have a major height difference as Demeter is only ten years old nearing her eleventh birthday in five months time.

Hermione was originally an only child for years until Hermione was in her third year at Hogwarts and became on older sister. She never told her best friends Harry Potter, Ron Weasley or Ginny Weasley about her younger sister. They all still think she's an only child. But she knows that it's going to cause a major uproar in the magical community when the Golden Girl or the Brightest Witch of the Age Hermione Granger has a younger sister. Especially since her younger sister also displays magic just like her. So Demeter is most likely going to be going to Hogwarts in a year. If she could guess what house Demeter is going to end up in it would be most likely Gryffindor like her or in Ravenclaw.

Demeter is equally as smart as Hermione but Demeter ends up in the shadows a lot. She's a shy girl with book smart looks and always hides and lurks in the shadows until she makes her presence known. When she makes her presence known people pay attention.

"I hope that it's okay that I take Demeter for a while," said Hermione to her parents.

"Of course." responded her father

"Bye mum, bye dad I will see you in a little bit," said Demeter waving her hand to them.

Hermione looked at her parents as she took Demeter's hand and in a pop they disappeared. They had just disapparated as they were in their parent's house and the next moment they were in the Leaky Cauldron. She had insistent that her friends Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley be there. She had owled Ginny and told her to bring her brother and boyfriend with her.

She saw the three of them sitting in a booth in a corner with butterbeers in front of them. Hermione gripped onto Demeter's hand as they wove through the crowd of people as they got to the booth. She stopped at the edge as her shadow went over the three of them.

"Hermione," Harry nearly shouted as he got up and hugged her right there. "It's great to see you. It's been five years."

"Yeah I'm sorry about that. I just had to leave," Hermione exclaimed to them

"I understand. You're looking great," told Harry observing her

"Ron," said Hermione nodding to him as he gave her a hug at an awkward angle

"What did you want to see us about anyway?" asked Ginny as she sat down on the booth after getting up

"I wanted you to meet someone," explained Hermione

"Who?" wondered Ron as he was showing tinge of jealousy as he still has feelings for Hermione for which she never recuperated. He seemed to be thinking it was a guy that she wanted them to meet.

Hermione nudged her head to Demeter who stayed back to watch her sister with her friends get reacquainted real quick. Demeter took a step forward as she walked to the table stopping by Hermione.

"This is Demeter, my younger sister." told Hermione to them

"Sister." Ginny spluttered as she nearly choked on her butterbeer

Harry and Ron were gapping at Demeter right there as they took in the young girl's appearance. They saw a lot of Hermione in her despite having a different hair and eye color. Other than that she was practically a mini me of Hermione. Harry took his glasses off as he rubbed them then gently put them back on his eyes as pushed them on the bridge of his nose.

"Hi," said Demeter smiling as she gave a gentle wave to them

"Demeter these are my friends. This is Harry Potter . . ." Hermione pointed to Harry to her to the boy with unruly black hair and glasses "Ron Weasley." Hermione pointed to him who was still tall and gangly with red hair "And Ginny Weasley." She pointed to Ginny last.

"Demeter that's an interesting name." said Ginny as Hermione and Demeter sat down at the booth

"It's a Greek god. Demeter is the goddess of agriculture and the harvest as well as the mother of the Greek god Persephone who got abducted by Hades by going to the underworld," said Harry to them as Ron and Ginny wouldn't know much about Greek mythology but noticed that Hermione and Demeter were smiling at him. "Greek mythology was always one of my favorite things to learn in school before I discovered my true parentage and the magical world."

"A lot of our father's family, are named after Greek mythology," Demeter told them as she adjusted her seating.

"Does Dumbledore know about her?" wondered Ron indicating to Demeter

"I would imagine so he is one of the best wizards of all time," said Harry praising his hero "Nothing get's past him especially if Demeter here is a witch."

Hermione and Demeter stayed there talking with Harry, Ron and Ginny as they talked about Demeter some more. Hermione said that her parents discovered that her mother was pregnant months before her third year started and gave birth in February in her third year. After a while of them getting to know Demeter they agreed to go to the Burrow in a few days.

Hermione knew that people are going to see her differently but as she sat there she knows that she's ready for almost anything.
