Chapter 9 ~ At Last

'Harry, you were hit in the face with a speeding bludger.' Hermione explained.

'Yeah Harry, what were you doing looking out of the fields anyway? You should have been concentrating on the Snitch if anything!' Ron exclaimed.

'Gryffindor lost Harry. Cho caught the Snitch, but she dropped it immediately to see if you were ok, but Ravenclaw still won.' Hermione said sadly.

'Harry, what were you looking at ourside the Quidditch Pitch?' Dumbledore asked. Harry looked over at Hermione.

'You Hermione, you were out there, and I was watching you to see why you weren't at the match.' Harry said shakily. Hermione looked confused.

'But Harry, I was in the stands, next to Ron. You saw me there, didn't you Ron?'

'She was right next to me the whole time!' Ron said. 'Besides, why would Hermione matter more than winning a game of Quidditch?' Hermione shot Ron a nasty glare.

'I was just - um, I thought Hermione was in trouble when I didn't see her, watching me. She, um, always watches me play Quidditch.' Harry said feebly. Ron looked puzzled, but Dumbledore smiled, and there was that familiar twinkle in his eye. Ron looked from Hermione to Harry, from Harry to Dumbledore, and from Dumbledore back to Hermione.

'What am I missing?' Ron demanded.

'Mr Weasley, I do believe that our Hermione has discovered something she shouldn't have.' Dumbledore said. Hermione looked as if she was going to faint. Harry went pale. He remembered what Hermione had said about her not supposed to know they were brother and sister.

'What? What's going on? Will someone just please tell me?' Ron whined.

'Patience Mr Weasley, Harry and Hermione here will tell you when they feel ready for you to know.' With that, Dumbledore got up, and left the Hospital Wing.

Ron looked from Hermione to Harry, about five times, before he spoke.

'What are you two keeping from me?' Ron demanded. Hermione looked at Harry questionably.

'Well, what do you say Harry? He's going to find out sooner or later, might as well be now.' Hermione said quietly.

There was a long pause.

'Well, is one of you going to tell me or what?' Ron said urgently.

Hermione looked at Harry.

'You tell him.' She said.

'Well Ron, sit down.' Harry gestured to the chair by his hospital bed. Ron sat down in the chair, but he was lingering on the edge to hear what Harry had to say.

Harry took a deep breath, and sat up with great pain. Hermione gently touched Harry's nose.

'Ron, Hermione and I are unidentical twins.' Harry said bluntly. Ron fell off the edge of his chair.

'You're WHAT? Did I hear right or am I delusional? You're twins?! When did you find this out?' Ron babbled.

'You heard correctly Ron. Harry and I are brother and sister twins.' Hermione looked at Ron, her eyes sparkling with joy, now that Ron knew. She hated him not knowing.

Ron seemed to be at a loss for words.

'I-I-I don't know what to say you guys, how could you not tell me - um, how did you find out Hermione - why didn't you tell me sooner - when did you tell Harry?' Ron spluttered. Harry grinned.

'I'm just happy to have living family.' He looked lovingly at Hermione.

'What about the Dursleys?' Hermione asked.

'They don't count.' Harry said blankly.

~* Probably my shortest chapter yet, but I had to include somewhere where they told Ron. And besides, I'm posting it with the other chapter, so it's not too bad. School's started again, so it might take a while longer to get chapters out, sorry! Hope you forgive me, please review! Love you all! *~
