The next morning Hermione woke up to very strange surroundings. It took her a couple of minutes to realise that last night was not a dream. She saw her twin awake on the bed on the opposite side of the room.

Harry, do you think that what happened yesterday was real? She first thought and was just about ask her brother.

"I am pretty sure it was real Hermione" Harry answered her question even before she had time to open her mouth.

"What! Harry I was just going to ask about that!" Hermione jumped from her bed looking at Harry as if he had grown wings.

"Wait we can read each other's thoughts!?" they said at the same time

"Ok, Harry I'm going to try and talk to you in my mind and you try to answer me" Hermione was exited and scared a little at being able to read Harry's thoughts.

"Sure let's try it" Harry felt very similar to Hermione, but he was not sure if those were his own feelings. Since they turned five years they were able to sense each other's feelings and after 8 they started talking at the same time or finishing each other's sentences from time to time.

Hermione concentrated really hard to calm down her other thoughts and emotions and asked/thought

Harry can you hear me?

Harry answered her immediately. Yes I can.

Then it was as if a barrier had broken. Hermione suddenly could see all of Harry's memories, feel everything he ever felt and Knew of every thought he ever had as if all those were her own. She also knew that the same thing had just happened to Harry. It felt as though they were almost the same person. Almost but not quite. It also felt as if they were missing some thing or someone.

"Harry, Hermione, are you coming!"

Let's not keep Hagrid waiting. Hermione thought at the same time as Harry did and raced towards the door.

"Good morning Hagrid" Hermione said

At the same time as Harry asked "How was your night?"

Yes we are still not the same person. Hermione thought to Harry

Good think about the time in about 5 – 6 years you might start dating and if we were the same person that would be kind of grouse. Not that I would mind I would always know that you are safe. Harry added as an afterthought.

"Harry, Hermione are you ok?" Hagrid asked concerned when the twins just started laughing at seemingly nothing.

"Hagrid…" (Together)

"We would like…" (Hermione)

"To ask you…" (Harry)

"A question." the twins said together

"Sure, go on." Hagrid was obviously confused by the twin talk

"Is it normal in the wizarding world…" (Hermione)

"For people hear each other's thoughts…" (Harry)

"Or talk in their heads?" Hermione finished.

"No I have never heard of such things, but I can ask Dumbledore for you he might know someone else who can do that." Hagrid asked them worriedly.

"No thanks Hagrid, maybe it's just a twin thing. Do you by any chance know any twins we could talk to?" Hermione asked

"From what I know the Weasly twins should be starting school with you this year." He told them "Maybe they could help you."

"Thanks Hagrid…" (Harry)

"When are we going to go shopping…" (Hermione)

"For our school things?" (Harry)

"Right now, get your letters out." Hagrid went over to one of the brick walls in the back of the pub.

He tapped the wall with his umbrella and it suddenly started moving out of the way. When she came through she stopped dead in place, harry would have bumped into her if they did not have the connection but he also stopped. The sight before them was amazing. Colourful things everywhere, things flying things all around them, the shops selling most unbelievable stuff and the strangely dressed people.

"We are going to go to Gringotts bank to get your money then we will get your robes, then your school books and potion ingredients, than anything else you need, we will also go the pet shop and last but the most interesting we will visit the wand shop. Are you ok with that?" Hagrid distracted hem from watching everything around them.

"Sure Hagrid." They answered together.

They made their way through the crowd to one of the shops on the other side of the street. While they were getting measured for their robes they met a very mean boy that said bad things about their mother and her being a muggleborn, they almost got into a fight with him but the shopkeeper stopped them. That was the most interesting part until they went to get their pets, everything around them was new and exciting but the mean boy was just singled out. When they went into the magical pet shop Hagrid told them that he will buy each of them an owl, but they should choose one more pet each. They went straight to the shopkeeper, a nice old looking witch and asked her about cats.

"Are you looking for normal cats or Kneazels?"

"What is…" (Harry)

"The difference?" (Hermione)

"Well dears, Kneazels are smarter, they will know some of your feelings and be able to comfort you when you feel down they will also be able to identify some magic and defend you. The only problem is that they have to choose you as a companion."

"Yes please we would like to see them." The Hermione was very excited. She and her brother always wanted cats.

They went into a separate section of the shop, in the back. This part of the shop looked like a book case with soft linings. And playing around were cats all sizes and colours. Suddenly two small kittens stopped playing and trotted towards the potter twins. One was a bright orange with white paws and the other one was black as night. The black one went straight to Hermione and the orange one to Harry. The potters bended to pick the kittens up.

"Can I pick you up?" Hermione asked the black kitten.

"Are you coming with me?" Harry asked the other kitten

The kittens mewed and let the twins pick them up.

The shopkeeper was smiling. "You both got 12 week old Kneazels kittens they are both girls. They are actually from the same litter and the only ones from that one." She told them.

They both got their kittens' carriers and food as well a litter boxes.

When they came out of the shop, they got their first ever birthday gifts. Hagrid got them two beautiful owls. One was a snowy owl and the other a barn owl.

"Thank you…" (Together)

"So much Hagrid…" (Hermione)

"This is the…" (Harry)

"First ever…" (Hermione)

"Gift we…" (Harry)

"Have ever received." (Together)

"WHAT!" Hagrid was obviously getting very mad at their aunt and uncle.

"It's ok we are used…" (Hermione)

"To it now…" (Harry)

"Let's go get our wands." (Together)
