Why Didn't I See It?
Chapter 7~ Secrets
Hermione just stood there in shock staring at the girl. Harry came up to her and softly whispered in her ear "Who is it Hermione?"
"I don't know. Do you think this has anything to do with what my parents wanted to tell me?" she replied as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"I'm sure it's not that bad." Harry said and put his arm around her.
"How could they I mean she called my mother, mom." she said and put her face into Harry's chest and cried. Harry went along and put his arms around her and stoked her hair. Harry thought 'this feels so right' but there were two things he didn't know. One was that Hermione was thinking the exact same thing and the other was that everyone was now watching them. When Mr. Granger finally cleared his throat to let them know his presence they broke apart immediately. Hermione just stared from her dad, to her mom, to the girl, and back to her parents.
Her mother started "Honey this is your twin sister, Sarah." Hermione's mouth flew open as did Harry's. Her mother continued "Hermione just hear us out first before you speak."
"Ok." Hermione said weakly.
"When you were born Hermione, we had no idea that I was having twins, so when Sarah came it was a complete shock. And as you know I was only 18 and you father was only 20. We had no choice but to give one of you up for adoption and it was the hardest thing that we have ever done and I will always regret it. We ended up keeping you because we had been waiting all our lives for a baby girl to call Hermione and we hadn't even known about Sara until then. Sarah was adopted by an American family who had a stable income and we knew that they would be able to take care of her. And I'll let you take it from here, Sarah."
"Thanks mom. Hermione, I know how much of a shock this is but let me tell you why I had to come to England. My adoptive mother had cancer since I was 8 and was out of work so, and I didn't even know I was a witch until I got my letter from my school. Everything was fine until last year when mom's cancer came back worse than ever and a month after I came back from school I was on my way to pick up my sister Kyli when I got a call saying that mom and dad had gotten in a car accident and as soon as I had gotten Kyli I was to rush over to the hospital." Sarah stopped for a moment and a tear rolled down her cheek. " The driver that had hit my parents had already died instantly and when we arrived mom and dad weren't in good shape. The doctors said that they wouldn't last through the night. I stayed with them all night and that's when they told me that I was adopted, I didn't even know until then. They told me I had a twin sister and that she lived in England. They also told me that you were a witch also. They told me were to find you and right before they died they asked me to take Kyli to our aunt's house and gave me the key to the safe so I could come to Europe and meet my real parents and my real sister. They died that night at 2:27 in the morning. I followed their instructions, said goodbye to Kyli and flew her to England." By this time Sarah could barley speak because she was sobbing so hard. Hermione didn't even know what she was doing but she ran over to Sarah and hugged her soon Harry came over and rubbed Hermione's back and then both their mom and dad came over and squashed them all in a big hug. When Mrs. Granger finally spoke her voice was weak and shaky.
"Well girls we have to get going. Hermione, Travis is at the neighbors so you don't have to worry about him. Sarah, you will sleep in your own bedroom that we saved for you; everything is all ready for you. And Harry, take care and be careful when you're driving."
"Ok, mum." Sarah and Hermione said in unison. They stared at each other.
"Everything will . " Sarah started.
"..be fine, don't worry." Hermione finished. They looked at each other.
"Well Good~Bye Mum bye daddy! We are going to go to the movies tonight so don't call I'm sure we will be fine, don't worry about us!" Hermione chimed as her parents climbed into their car after a lot of hugging and good~byes.
As Hermione, Sarah and Harry waved Hermione said "Well, glad that's over with. So what movie do you guys want to see?" Harry was extremely confused, but Sarah who could guess what she was thinking didn't ask any questions.
Harry on the other hand asked her "Herm are you ok? I mean you just found out you have a identical twin sister. Are you sure you want to go to the movies?"
"Of course I'm sure. I always dreamed that I had a sister. That night that your parents died, Sarah, I found myself crying for no reason at all!"
"I know what you mean," Sarah said a little surprised. "Last week I started crying when I came home from a concert. I'm guessing it was about some boy?"
"Yes but I don't want to talk about it." Hermione said sternly. "I think Lord of the Rings Two Towers sounds like a good movie, how `bout you Harry?"
"What oh yea sure." Her said a little preoccupied because Sarah had been watching him ever since their parents left!
