Disclaimer: I own nothing of JK Rowling's. Makes sense, don't it?
A/N: This is my second fic..And I will NOT write any more chapters until I get at least five reviews with something constructive in them! (They don't all have to be constructive *wink*) Someone tell me how to italicize on this thing! Please!
Titania Granger walked slowly up the street, lugging her heavy book bag, knapsack and fluffy pink purse under one arm and trailing a deep purple blazer under the other. Her amber coloured eyes, normally limpid and merry, now scowled at the high platforms she wore. Gloom was not her natural state: No that was Hermione. Hermione. The witch. Who went to Hogwarts. Who was the smartest witch in her year. Who was a know it all with braces and bushy hair. No, Hermione was the serious one of the twins.
The two had been inseparable since birth, sleeping in that gorgeous king sized feather bed together. When Hermione was frustrated, Titania was even more so. When Titania doubled over with laughter, Hermione had always wiped away tears of mirth. Even when Titania became known as the most popular and pretty girl of Crestwell Elementary School, and Hermione was always introduced as 'Hermione.She's great, but she's not Titania,' they had been together.
That darn owl! Titania never swore, even in her head. It was a pet peeve of both of them. The stupid great prat had shown up with a spentabulous letter for Hermione before their eleventh birthday. Announcing Hermione was a witch, and was granted a spot in the best magical school in Europe. She had gone without a backwards glance, leaving Titania alone on their birthday. With an empty bed at night. And most importantly, without a best friend.
Titania unlocked the front door, her brow furrowing at the memory of a packaged charm Hermione had sent to open any lock. She shrugged out of her tie and very short kilt, speedily unbuttoned her shirt, and hopped into the shower. Half an hour later, she jumped out, her lustrous auburn curls damp, her good mood restored. Singing blithely, Titania ran into her room and shrieked. A tiny owl was fluttering around the ceiling, and when she appeared he dropped a fat parcel onto her head.
Titania hurriedly ushered the owl out the window and climbed into a T-shirt with blue stars on it and soft, fleecy sweatpants with 'angel face' written across the seat. She flopped onto the bed and opened the letter. It was written in Hermione's careful, neat writing, in ink that changed colours on every word.
"Dearest Nia,
You should be getting your owl soon. What do you think? Professor Dumbledore said there had been traces of magic found in our house! He said at first he thought it was left over from me, but as I'm a prefect, I can't have been using magic over summer. Also, I was at ______'s house. Sorry, I can't tell you his name, this letter might be intercepted. I replied that I had you, of course, so he said he had wondered why I hadn't shown as much power as he thought he'd detected first. So you've been accepted! I'm so excited for you.. You'll be here on Wednesday, if you accept. You will accept, won't you? If you don't things could go massively out of control. I have to go now, time for bed.Love to Mum and Dad from me! Love love love, sisters forever, Yaya..
Hermione
Wednesday! That was tomorrow! Titania whooped and called her parents at work. Happily she lay back on the bed to fantasize about what school would be like. Just the fact that Hermione signed her name with 'yaya' meant she remembered when they watched that movie together. Tatiana sat bolt upright as another owl flew in the window. It too dropped an owl on her head. She trembled with anticipation as the she broke the emerald green seal.
The next day passed in a blur of excitement for Titania. She got up at about five am, drove into London, picked up her school supplies in all of about two hours, took the Underground to King's Cross and hopped onto one of the two carriages of the Hogwarts Express. Around one o' clock the train slowed, and Tatiana stowed away her books she had been reading. She donned her black school robes, thrilling as they brushed her bare legs and arms, smiling in satisfaction as they hugged her petite frame through a tank top and shorts.
Finally Titania let loose her tightly braided hair. The loose ringlets Hermione had always envied fell to her waist. After adding a touch of sparkly gloss and a flash of dark mascara, Tatiana stepped out of the train onto a sunshiny platform. On it stood a tall witch with square spectacles and an elderly man with kind blue eyes. "Titania Granger?" the witch's voice was crisp, with a hint of a Scottish burr. "Yes'm" "Charmionte Malfoy?" It was the wizard who spoke with interest this time. Titania started as a boy with pale blond hair emerged from the second carriage "I must admit, I found it hard to decipher why your siblings didn't show as much power as we initially thought." Titania smiled. She couldn't help liking this him.
They walked up a hill and down a valley, across a stream and finally through enormous gates flanked with stone lions, badgers, snakes, and falcons. Professor Dumledore informed them of the school rules, and finally stopped just outside the large doors.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, you are here because Voldemort has risen. I will not keep it a secret from you that your power is faint. You two may be made fun of, but I must impress upon you not to loose your heads! If you hurt any student, no matter if they provoked you, you will be removed from the school. Do not be disappointed of you are not up to speed with your work. Your head of House will tutor you every night so you will be in your siblings' year. Now please try to stay calm, this is our second feast in two days, remember."
With a last smile and a comforting glance, Professor Dumbledore strode into the hall. Professor McGonagall also gave Titania a small pat on the shoulder before entering the chamber herself.
Professor Dumbledore had obviously started a speech, because the glimpse of students they could see were all listening attentively. The fair boy looked at Titania with interest. Titania suddenly wished her robes didn't hug her this tight. The boy's glance was somewhere between her neck and her middle, and Titania shifted uncomfortably.
Resisting the urge to throttle him, she walked forward and opened the door a crack. Through it she saw another pale blond and two thugs whispering. Ugh. Another Malfoy. Yes, this Charmionte kid's brother. Ugh. Suddenly Titania felt a swooping joy as she saw Hermione. Her hair was a bushy as ever, but she looked happier than Titania had ever seen her. She giggled as a really - Titania did a double take- REALLY hot redhead whispered something in her ear. Titania's eyes widened.
Hermione was the other. She was never hit on by college boys like Titania had been at age twelve. Titania sighed inwardly, though happily. Hermione deserved this, wasn't she beautiful enough inside to make up for her unfortunate looks? It was good that this guy recognized that. Titania blinked back tears as she reflected she didn't know anything about Hermione's school life. When they were together they had always been with other people, unabling Hermione to talk about her magical training.
(A/N is unabling a word?)
Titania saw Dumbledore wave his wand and a ripped hat appeared next to a fat armchair on the dais where the professors sat. He raised his wand and flicked it at the doors. They opened, leaving Titania and Malfoy in the doorway. Numbly, slowly, Titania got her quivering knees to work. They walked up to the high table, Titania smiling at her sister. Hermione bit her lip and looked away.
Seeing the rest of the school staring at the hat, Titania and Malfoy did too. A rip near the brim opened up and the hat burst into song
A thousand years ago there were magic folk four,
Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw: Slytherin and Gryffindoor
They founded a school, which you'll attend,
And each of them had a House to teach until they met their end
Before they died fair Ravenclaw, she said they'd need a judge
To see who'd go to their own house without holding a grudge. So Gryffindoor he gave me life, so I would choose for them
And now I'll look inside your mind
And see where you'll attend.
The hall burst into thunderous cheers. Professor McGonagall cried out "Granger, Titania" and Titania sank into the chair with her head buried in the hat. "Hmm.Another Granger, eh?" Whispered a voice inside her head. "You both are clever, oh my yes.But where to put you? Slytherin no, you are Muggle-born. Hufflepuff, no. You have not their patients. Ravenclaw would do you well, but you have much courage. Wild courage, my dear. You must be careful, oh yes, you must. For now, at least, we'll have you in GRYFFINDOOR" The hat shouted the last word at the audience.
Clapping and confused cheers shook Hermione's table. Titania flung herself into a seat next to another very cute guy, with unruly hair and bright green eyes. He looked puzzled, but shook her hand with a frown. "Mione." He let the sentence trail off as his voice squeaked. Titania fought to keep a straight face. So did the redhead. "Yea.Mione, We want to know who this girl is?" His voice was deep and rich already. Titania grinned at him.
"Who wants to know?" She asked flirtatiously. Hermione bit her lip. The green eyed boy winked at her cheekily. "Harry Potter. This is Ron Weasley. Please to meet you, er, Mione's.cousin?" He let the question hang in the air. Titania barely realized Malfoy sitting next to his brother. The hurt that was filling her left no room for anything else. Hermione turned awkwardly to her and put her arms around her. Titania shrugged it off. "You didn't tell them." She meant it as a question, but it didn't turn out that way.
"I'm sorry, Nia.But I was always overshadowed by you. I needed some time to get over that, I think." Ron gawked at them. "You're her sister?" Titania nodded, blinded by tears. It makes sense, she told herself firmly. You overshadowed her. Stop crying you baby. "Whoa.Hermione.This is deep stuff." Harry whistled. Titania ate the rest of her supper in silence.
