Please note that I did add other P.O.V this time around. Hope it's not a bother.
-----------------------------------------
Those first few moments Serena was awake, she felt happy and content. She just slowly sat up yawning and stretching, scanning her room over, slightly surprised to be up so early. Then she found Luna at the foot of her bed looking at her in a peculiar way. Serena silently stared back for a moment confused before all the night's activities replayed through her mind.
'Oh my God.'
Serena suddenly started to feel extremely sick to her stomach. Knowing within minutes she was going to waltz downstairs and see her family. What was she supposed to say? 'Hey guys, why didn't you tell me I was adopted? Just wondering, you know.' Oh that'd go just great.
For once in her life Serena didn't have the desire to run into the kitchen and devour her Mother's cooking. Actually the smell of bacon lingering in her room only made her feel more nauseous. Serena bent over to the side of her bed to pick up the papers that was momentarily forgotten off from the floor. She couldn't read the English to good, but she saw her name on there, that's all that mattered. Taking a deep breath she clutched the papers and slid out of bed.
"Come with me Luna, please." Serena softly begged.
The cat merely nodded and followed her out her bedroom door. Slowly tiptoeing down the stairs Serena felt sicker with every step. Every step led to the inevitable meeting that was going to happen sooner or later. She couldn't just ignore it. No, that'd be impossible now.
Serena walked in the kitchen, the scent of bacon and eggs strongly filling the air. The rest of the Campbell's were eating their breakfast, laughing lightly about a joke of some sort Sammy had said. After a few moments of her standing there they finally noted her presence.
"Good morning honey, want some breakfast?" Irene asked, giving her a bright smile.
"Actually no, I'm uh, not that hungry. I do want to talk-"
"Ha! Serena's not hungry and awake early! There should be pigs flying right about now" Sammy cut it, jokingly.
"Samuel! Be nice to your sister!" Irene exclaimed.
Serena surprisingly didn't feel any resentment toward her little brother's comment. All she could do was offer a slight smile and seat her self down at the table. She glanced again at the papers in her hands again and fought back tears that were threatening to come down again. Luna jumped up onto her lap and rubbed up against her elbow for support.
"What are those papers, Serena?" Ken questioned, noticing the troubled look in his daughters face.
"Oh! Uh, well. Nothing, um can I ask you guys a question?"
"Of course, what's on your mind kiddo?"
Serena brought herself to look dead into her Father's eyes. He was a rather handsome man for his age, even though his glasses hid his hazelnut eyes. He had a good facial structure and good head of hair still. He had noticeably darker skin, which was of course obvious. He was half Japanese. Serena shut her eyes briefly before connecting her eyes again with her Father's.
"Do you know anybody named Serenitas Malfoy?"
-----------------------------------------Irene's POV
I led a very simple and happy life. I had a loving husband, and two beautiful children. We had our ups and downs, but we were a supportive family that stuck together through everything. We were a minority. Nowadays with divorces so plenty, there were so many broken families out there. Not us though, after 17 years of marriage my husband and me were still very much in love.
We met in London at a business convention back when I used to work for a newspaper. It was love at first sight, as fairy tailish as that sounds. We dated for about a year, and continued to live in a small suburb outside of London. Eventually we married, and it was the most beautiful wedding a woman could ask for. We then mutually decided we wanted children but had a lot of trouble trying to conceive. We tried everything we could do at the time, but nothing worked out. So you could just imagined how I felt when an acquaintance of my husbands came to us with a 1-year-old baby. He was desperately seeking a good home for the child, and we were more than happy to oblige.
I watched her grow up. I looked at Serena as if she came from my very womb. At three the way her eyes lit up when she was told she was going to have a little brother. With a new medical treatment, Ken and I were able to have one of our own. At five when she rode her bike for the first time. She was so proud of her accomplishment. She must of rode up and down that driveway at least 500 times. At seven when she came home from school with her new friend Molly. They were connected at the hip from that moment on. At eleven when she came prancing in the house saying she got a part in the school play. She only had 5 lines, but we were so proud of her. We took her out to a big dinner afterwards, an all you can eat buffet, her favorite. At fourteen when she came in crying about a jerk she met named 'Darien' who teased her hairstyle and her grades. She eventually started to date that boy, much to Ken's horror.
I guess it should have dawned on me I should have told her she was adopted. I just loved her so much though, and didn't want her to feel out of place. I withheld information she had every right to know, thinking it'd never backfire to me. Her biological parents were thousands of miles away, anyway. Besides, nothing could tear my family apart. Until..
"Do you know anybody named Serenitas Malfoy?"
I felt my glass slip from my grasp, smashing onto the floor. Orange juice splattered in all different directions. I knew from that moment on nothing would ever be the same.
-----------------------------------------Normal POV
No one spoke. Sammy didn't quite understand, but looking upon his parent's faces he knew they knew. They both looked completely shocked and taken aback. They sat silently just staring at Serena as if they were going to break down any minute. Silence ruled the room at that moment, one of the most uncomfortable silences Sammy had in his 12 years. Nobody was saying anything. He didn't get it, who was Serenitas Malfoy?
"Well?" Serena questioned softly.
Judging by her Mother's reaction Serena knew this wasn't going the way she had hoped it would. She half hoped they'd sit there puzzled, wondering whom she was talking about. She would tell them and they would be utterly appalled that someone would even say that. They would deny it, and everything would resume as normal. Normal wasn't a popular word in Serena's life though.
"Oh my God" Irene breathed out.
Serena choked back a sob and handed them the papers that had turned her life upside down. By now, she practically had a waterfall of tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Where are the original papers?"
It was now Ken's turn to mutter "Oh my God".
"I don't get it, what are those papers? Who is Serenitas?" Sammy inquired.
Serena placed her sad watery eyes on her brother. She was trembling all over, the nauseous feeling worse than ever. She bit her lip so hard it almost bled. She then closed her eyes shut and told him what was kept from him and her all these years.
"I'm not your sister Sammy."
Sammy let out a loud gasp before Irene rose from her seat and leaned over the table to take Serena's head into her hands.
"Look at me Serena! You may be a-adopted and God knows I should have told you so, but y-you are apart of this family! We love and care for you just like you were one of our children. D-do you want to know why? B- because Serena, you are! You are one of my children. He is your brother, maybe not by blood but by heart! Plea-Please never doubt this." Irene cried out desperately. Irene grabbed her daughter into a tight hug rocking her back and fourth.
"Why didn't you tell me? I had to find out from a total stranger!" Serena sobbed into her mother's shoulder. "I mean at first I thought he was lying, but he showed me those papers and-and I don't know it didn't make any sense! I was so confused.."
Ken was now also standing up, while Sammy remained seated. Speechless about the scene that was being played out in the Campbell kitchen.
"Who told you this?" Ken questioned, himself also on the verge of tears.
"A man.. A man named um Severus Snape I think." Serena replied through sobs.
"Oh wow, I never-I mean, wow. I never thought I'd hear his name again after we left." Ken gasped out.
Sammy really wanted answers right now. This confessional wasn't revealing much. How could they hold information like her being adopted for such a long time? He loved his sister very much, even if he didn't show it a lot. It was simple sibling rivalry though, a stage they were sure to grow out of.
"What's going on? Seriously, I don't get it. Mom, Dad?"
"I think we need to go have a talk in the living room." Ken said while motioning towards the other room.
In that room Ken and Irene went on to explain all the past events that took place those many years ago. How they met Severus Snape through a friend of theirs but didn't know him all that well. His desperateness to give the child a new home that one afternoon. How they lost contact with him when they moved to Tokyo. They explained everything that should have been said years ago. Once they were finished, silence once again ruled over the Campbell household. It felt like it was silent for hours, even though it was probably just a couple of minutes before Ken decided to ask her how she knew of this man.
"A man wrote me a letter and said that he needed to meet me for very important reasons, I mean, I wouldn't of done it but-but lets just say he had some information he could use against me. So-so I did and I brought the girls. With him was a man by the name of Severus Snape.. and-and.." Serena shut her tightly, tears still streaming down her face like a waterfall. She was leaving a lot of information out for the obvious reasons and hoped that her parents wouldn't question the lack of detail. Then she let out a small whisper. "Narcissa, my Mother."
Irene was going to be honest with herself. It hurt a lot to see the girl she raised and loved as her own referring to another woman as her mother. She looked at her daughter and could see the pain in her face. Before today the girl seemed to have a lot on her mind as it was, but now it was heartbreaking.
"What did you guys talk about, love?" Irene questioned. Serena let out another sniffle.
"They told me why I was given up, and I have a twin brother. They want to meet here with us tomorrow. They want to talk to you." Serena then started to break down. "I was secretly hoping everything they said was a lie. That it was a sick joke of some sort, but it wasn't. It wasn't." Serena paused for a few moments before finding she just couldn't cry anymore. All her tears felt like they drained from her body. All she could feel was the slight burning in the back of her eyes.
Serena then quietly stood up and simply said she needed to go out for a while. She quietly went up to her room to change into some decent clothes and left the house without a word with her faithful cat not far behind.
The three remaining family members sat quietly in the living room. After a while Sammy went outside to sit on the porch where he sat for hours, just staring into nothing. Irene went into the kitchen to clean up their morning mess before going back to her room and do nothing but stare at the ceiling. Ken remained in the living room, still seated at the couch, staring at a blank television screen. No words were spoken.
-----------------------------------------Draco's P.O.V
The Malfoy Manor is an extremely large estate. The only one area I wasn't permitted to wander in though was my parent's side of the manor. Of course I didn't complain for I had more than enough space on my half.
Then one weekend, when I was 6 or 7, Father left on a business trip leaving my Mother and I the only people in the house. Not counting house elves and staff members of course. She took me up to her room, somewhere I had never been before and showed me a small silver photo album.
I remember her showing me the first few pictures, they were typical wizarding photos of me when I was a baby. The next few photos I started to become confused, because she then showed a picture of me and another small baby. She went on to tell me about how I had a twin sister named Serenitas, but she was unfortunately taken away as a child. She never told me the back- story of this girl, so that remained a mystery. I was also strictly told never to tell Father of my new found knowledge of the girl. Mother simply said I would severely regret doing so. She also said that we were to never mention her again, except in private.
I'm not quite sure why she told me all of this, though I was glad she did. We did not speak of my sister much after that day though. The times we did I had a troubling feeling my Father was behind her disappearance. I didn't bring myself willingly to admit this though, because to me my Father could do no wrong.
I eventually just shrugged the idea off of having a sister. Entering Hogwarts I had a lot more 'important' things on my mind. I decided not to dwell on a sister I'd probably never meet. That started to change toward the end of my fifth year.
The first thing was that my Father mysteriously disappeared a few weeks before I was due home. He simply left a note to my Mother saying 'It's time'. Then on the last day of school Professor Snape (my godfather) pulled me aside and told me not to go on the train because he was bringing me to his estate by orders from my Mother. Arriving there he explained how Dumbledore, my Mother, and himself were going to be going to Tokyo, Japan in a few days without further explanation. I was even more confused when he said he was going to have an Auror watch over me while he was gone. I kept my confusion silent though, knowing I wasn't about to get any direct answers.
That Monday afternoon they returned both Snape and my Mother looked exhausted. I never seen my Mother looked so drained in her life. She made Snape's house elves fix us up some tea before we settled ourselves into a sitting room. We sat there for a few minutes, not saying much, simply sipping our peppermint tea. After awhile she placed her teacup on a stand next to her and drew a long, apprehensive breath.
"I met her." Mother said. I simply shot her a puzzled look, not knowing whom she was talking about.
"Serenitas, I met Serenitas."
I looked at her shocked. That was the least thing I expected her to tell me. I was half hoping for news on my Father's whereabouts. I didn't know what to say. The girl was almost forgotten in my mind, and now she was being mentioned after years of silence.
"What?" I asked. A rather stupid question on my part but I didn't know what else to say.
"We found her. She's been living in Japan for the past 14 years. She's beautiful."
Growing up my Mother never showed me a lot of affection or emotion. I always had Nannies chasing after me as a child, so I didn't see her all that much. You could only imagine my surprise when I saw a few tears escape her eyes. She's never cried in front of me before. Never.
"She doesn't speak very good English-" Mother went on. "-but Severus was there to speak with her. She seemed really hurt, the muggles she grew up with never told her the truth. She didn't know." Mother let a soft smile come to her lips. "She has my eyes."
"She goes by the name Serena. Severus said she has very odd magic skills. They aren't normal wizarding magic. She doesn't use a wand. She's like a hero over there, uses her magic to fight 'monsters'. She's a masked hero; she doesn't get proper credit."
"How did she find her magic ability if she didn't know she was a witch?" I questioned, rather surprised anyone from the Malfoy family could remotely resemble a 'hero'.
"We don't know. A lot of questions need to be answered. We're returning soon to meet with her muggle 'family'. There are a lot of things we have to tell her, and you for that matter. You are going to come with us to meet her. We're going to port key to Tokyo's ministry offices."
The few tears that were shed had now dried into nothingness. The look my Mother gave me told me I didn't have much of a choice. I was going to Tokyo to meet my long lost twin.

-----------------------------------------End of Chapter 3
Okay that's it for chapter 3. I got this chapter out pretty fast. That is pretty rare for me. I know I didn't get much further in this chapter, but I wanted to point of views from both sides.
As I go on I find it harder and harder to keep characters in character so forgive all OOC-ness. I must admit though, I do have pretty not-so-likely things that are going to happen. Then again, this is fan fiction.
Thanks for all the reviews! I appreciate it a lot.
Here is the voting tally as of now.
Harry - 14
Fred - 8

Remus - 8
Oliver Wood - 2
Charlie Weasley - 0 [Pairing idea emailed to me by Comet Moon, Thanks!]
