A/N: I have to say, that twists and turns in this are making me feel like I am on a roller coaster too. And it's the stories fault, not mine, that it gets confusing. It just takes over and writes these weird things. I swear it's not my fault!!!!

Chapter twenty

The six had coffee in Dumbledore's garden after Dinner, with Albus and Athos. The garden had grown five hammocks. Albus and Athos had their own, while each newly formed couples shared. Hermione and Dami were still looking a little bewildered. Draco and Ron discussed quitddich while Harry and Ginny made goo-goo eyes at each other. Finally, Hermione looked to the two older men. "Why the hells didn't you tell us before I made an announcement?"
"Never found the right time." Athos said, and Dami glared at him. "Don't look at me like that, Dami. I am your uncle who deserves respect and..." Dami through a pillow at him and then whipped out a wand. It was the first time Hermione had seen her sister with one. She called water from the pond and flung it not only on Athos, but also on Dumbledore. "Why you little..."
Dami smiled, "careful, dear uncles... you remember there are six students and two of you."
Albus charmed himself dry, as did Athos. Hermione and the others giggled while the older men fussed over messed up hair. Hermione final got to the courage to ask them about her and Dami's parents.
"Tell us everything, please?"
Athos looked to Albus, who began, "Ayden William Dumbledore was the youngest of the Dumbledore children. There were seven of us, I being the oldest. We were the only three left, and after the Cri killed your father, there is just us. He was 35 when the two of you were born, and was fearful for your lives. Serenity went with you, Hermione, because Athos could only take one, and Serenity was scared of him. We hid you the best we could. Tzira, your mother, was dead before you left the City of the Aleva. He promised her that he would make sure you were taken care of, but in his grief, he only wanted to follower her to the deathbed. So we gave him an oath, that we would see all three of you blooded Ezil Wis and witches. We have kept that part of the bargain. He made us swear that we would not let the two of you go the Aleva, because he knew Serenity already was."
Athos went on while Albus took a drink. "Heaven knows what the Aleva would have done to you too. I watched over you, Hermione. Visited you as often as possible. And Dami, sweet Dami, I leaving you was the hardest thing I have ever done. I was actually glad when Serenity found you, so I could come get you and keep you with me."
Hermione snuggled into Draco more, and Ron wrapped His arms tightly around Dami. Then, through the fire pit, Serenity's face came. "DUMBLEDORE!"
Both of the replied, "yes?"
They heard a slight; "shit!" but saw no change in her face. "Athos, Albus, nice to see you. May I speak with my sister?"
Harry had thrown Ron the invisibility cloak he kept with him, and he and Dami hid under it.
Hermione stood up and walked to the flame, unfolding her wings. "There is nothing to Say, Aleva Reia." Hermione said the title like a curse.
"Hermione things are complicated. Now, come see and everything will be worked out."
"I don't think so."
"it isn't a request. You will come."
"No, you will bugger off. I thought I made it clear I didn't want you around."
"You might want to know about your twin."
Hermione scoffed, 'she's trying to bait me.'
"Anything I want to know has already been told to me."
"Athos is there, which means you know of Dami. But what about..."
"Our darling uncles? They are charming aren't they, though a little vain."
"Hermione, Mi, dearest, please, come see me. The Cri, she is very interested..."
Hermione lost her patience but spoke calmly, "You serve the woman who killed my mother and Father, who stole my Rini from me. So I don't give a damn what she or you are interested in. Get this through your skull. I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ALEVA. End of discussion." Hermione nodded to Albus, who extinguished the fire.
Athos applauded Hermione. "Very well done."
"She'll be here, on Halloween, to take Dami and I. I won't let it happen."
Dami and Ron were still covered, and they heard a slight giggle from under the Invisibility cloak. Hermione walked to were they should be and grabbed the cloak to find Ron and Dami kissing furiously.
"Did you two get bored?" Draco joked as Dami looked away and Ron blushed Furiously. Every one laughed, including the discovered two, until their stomachs hurt. Then Albus shooed them off to bed, in hopes of every one sleeping well.

The week past and the Saturday of the ball hit. Creature and Wizards from all over arrived, and the students were sent to their Common rooms to get ready. Ginny and Dami were invited to the head's room, along with Ron and Draco. The boys dressed and got ready in Draco's room, and played a couple rounds of wizard's chess.

The girls went nuts, curling hair and doing make up. Hermione wore her hair up in curls, with littler tendrils hanging all-round, and some small braids weaved in. Her make was all gold and red: gold eye linear that extended Egyptian style, a bronze shadow covered with a light gold shadow on her lids, powder matching her skin tone, and Red lipstick. She looked like a goddess of light. Dami looked like the Goddess of Darkness, with black Eyeliner expended like Hermione's, and pinks, going from hot to barely there, on her eyelids. Her lipstick was hot pink, and her hair was done exactly like Hermione's. A Golden Circlet was place on Hermione's head, and Silver one of Dami's. Ginny looked dazzling in fairy costume, all glitter and green.
While Ginny was in the shower, Dami and Hermione talked quietly. Hermione smiled. "Did you know, that it is tradition for an Ezil Wis to give her Companion a name when he graces her sheets for the first time?"
"Really?"
"I read it in a book. They say that it will bind the companions better than any spell or making ever could."
"So, you are going to sleep with Draco?"
"I haven't decided about it. But I am prepared, with both a name and something else, if it does turn out to be tonight."
Dami smiled at her twin. "I knew you would, tonight. I was thinking about it with Ron, too. Nice to know that I should give him a nickname." Then Dami had a grin plastered on her face... "Wait, do I nick name him or his... accessories?"
"DAMI!" Hermione mockingly exclaimed, grinning right with her sister. Ginny walked out and said, "It has to be a twin thing."
The boys were getting impatient. They had ten minutes before the festivities started, and not once had they see or heard from the girls. They sat on the couch when Ginny came down stairs. The boys were stunned. And she walked over to Harry and closed his mouth with her finger. He was a male fairy, and looked sexy in tight breeches and no shirt. Ginny Turned to Ron and Draco. "Gentle men, may I present, Ms Hermione and Ms Damiana Dumbledore."
