Rose: You, own Harry Potter? In your dreams!

Me: Rose, I created you, I can just as easily kill you off and have your dear sister take over.

Rose: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Please, Please, You own Harry Potter ok???

Me: However, since I created you, I guess this is a dream, dang!

Sorry for the long disclaimer, now, on with the show!

Diiiing-Doooong

"Ooh another trick or treater!"

Hermione ran to the door carrying a bowl of candy and opened it. To her surprise, instead of a costumed child, she found a small child, probably almost a year old lying by a trunk with a Hogwarts insignia on it.

CLUNK!!

Hermione dropped her bowl in surprise and picked up the poor child.

"Hmmm you must be just about Mira's age, you kind of look like her. What beautiful sapphire eyes, and your hair is so silky and red."

She picked up the bowl of candy and set it on the counter. Then, she lugged the trunk inside and closed the door.

What am I going to do with her? I can't leave her lying there, but I don't want to put her in an orphanage. If I took her in I don't think I could bear to tell her she's not my daughter.

"Waaaah!!! "

Huh? Oh, Mira probably wants her bear

She climbed up the staircase leaning on the ornately carved cherry wood railing and entered Mira's room. She quickly spotted Mira's ragged bear sitting on the shelf, grabbed it, and gave it to the crying child who immediately quieted. She then noticed how big the room really was.

Wait, I've got it! Mira or ummm…I'll call her Kate...They'll never remember not being sisters! I'll tell them their twins! I'll just conjure a matching bed here and hide that trunk.

Hermione busied herself making an exact duplicate of the bed and tucking Kate in.

"Ah finally, peace and quiet."

Oops! I forgot about the trunk!

Hermione put the trunk in her secret room in which she put all magic-related items, and went to sleep.

She had a strange dream that night, something about an owl and a cat, but couldn't recall ever having a drem in the morning.
