Changes
Hermione groaned. She rolled over in her bed and reached for her alarm clock and knocked it to the floor with her hand. "Hermione!" Lynn Granger yelled. "Wake up! Today we're going to Diagon Alley!" At this Hermione quickly got up and got dressed. When she finished she looked at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a black mini skirt (Not too short), with a lot of straps, a red shirt that says "Hey loser!" in black letters with knee-high platform boots, with sparkles on the side. Her hair was waist length and dyed black, with red and purple streaks, now permanently straight. She charmed her eyes with an extremely complicated spell that has her eye color change with her emotions, unless she doesn't want her feelings to show. If she doesn't want them to show, they turn an icy blue. She smirked at herself and heard her name being called by her twin sister, Alicia DeLenfent.
She found out that she was adopted on the last day of her term.
Flashback
Hermione was chatting excitedly about her school year and how she couldn't wait to get back home. Her parents exchanged a glance, unnoticed by Hermione. The car ride was short. When they got to their house, the front door was opened and a smirking seventeen-year-old girl looked at Hermione. Next to her came out a Doberman. The girl looked like a punk. She had piercing steel gray eyes (Hers changes naturally when wanted). She had platinum, blonde hair, with red tips and blue, purple, and green streaks. She was wearing baggy, olive-green pants with zippers and a lot of pockets on them, a black Happy Bunny shirt that says, "It's cute how you think I'm listening", and Converse sneakers.
Hermione gaped at her and turned to her parents. "Who is that?" she asked. Her parents looked at each other again, nervously and her father spoke up. "We'll discuss this in the house."
Her parents carried her luggage to her room, and then went back to the living room, where Hermione and the girl were sitting silently. They both looked up at them when they came in. "Hermione... This is Alicia DeLenfent, your twin sister." Hermione gasped. "So... I'm adopted?" she asked incredulously. "Yes. We wanted to tell you earlier, but we thought it was too early. Then Alicia came and told us that we should tell you know." Hermione looked over at Alicia, who nodded while inspecting her nails. "DeLenfent's are one of the oldest and most powerful families in Europe. We created a lot of the spells used today, and can use wandless magic." Alicia added to the conversation, casually. "Some of us can also read minds at our own will and are telepathic. I would gladly teach you this in Hogwarts." Hermione's foster parents looked at both of them and then looked back at Hermione. "You can go back to your actual parents, we'll understand if you want to. Just bear in mind that we love you always." Her foster mom said. This made Hermione well up in tears and hug her foster parents. "Of course I'll stay with you!" she sobbed. "And no matter what, you will always be mom and dad to me."
After an hour, they finally pulled themselves together, and headed for bead. Hermione quickly fell asleep, dreaming about her summer vacation.

During the rest of the summer, Alicia helped Hermione with her powers and gave her a new look, saying that she will never attract attention dressed like a nerd. She also introduced Blizzard, her Doberman to Hermione and helped her get over her fear of dogs.

End Flashback

Hermione grinned at the memory. "HERMIONE!" yelled out Alicia. "Come down! We're leaving right after you eat!" Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed her head girl badge and pinned it on her shirt proudly. She got the letter a few weeks ago and was ecstatic.
She rushed down into the kitchen and ate her breakfast, and chatted with Alicia happily. When she finished, they packed all of her items and left for Diagon Alley, including Blizzard. Alicia said that the school sometimes made exceptions to the pet rule, but she would still like an owl.

They arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, and reserved two separate rooms for themselves. They put away their things and left for Diagon Alley.
The first place they went to was Flourish and Blotts, then the Magical Menagerie, where Alicia got her gray-black owl, which she named Night. When they walked out of the store, they bumped into a blonde haired guy about an inch taller than Alicia (guess who! ;). "Oh, sorry." They all muttered and Hermione recognized him. "Malfoy!" she asked disgusted. He looked up and sneered. "Well, if it isn't the poor mudblood. Decided to at least try to look normal?" he snarled. While saying this he was slowly looking at her, making her fidget and blush. Alicia noticed and smirked at Hermione, who ignored her. Draco looked at Alicia and smirked. Alicia smirked back and asked, "Who are you?" politely. He smiled and said, "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. And you are?" Alicia smiled and answered, "Alicia Renee DeLenfent. Pleased to meet you. Watch it when you call my sister a mudblood or you'll regret later on" she said coolly. He did a double-take at the name and looked at Hermione and Alicia, surprised. "Are... are you serious?!?!" he asked. Alicia nodded. "Yes. That's it. Well we can't talk to you all day. Bye!" she took Hermione's arm and dragged her off to buy the rest of their materials.
"What was that about?" Hermione asked. "He looked so surprised when you said I'm your sister!" Alicia smiled. "Let's just say that our families are, or used to be close." She replied. Hermione nodded, not really understanding. They both got all of their supplies, ignoring the people staring at them.
They finally finished and got to the Leaky Cauldron at 6:30, where Mrs. Granger was speaking to Mr. and Mrs. Weasly. Mrs. Granger noticed them and called them over. Mrs. Weasly hugged Hermione. "Hello Hermione. You've changed a lot during the summer." They both complimented her. She blushed furiously. "I felt like having a change, this being my last year and everything." She answered. "Oh, and this is Alicia-" she was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley's gasp. "Alicia DeLenfent? It is such an honor to meet you." She gushed. Alicia smiled politely. "The pleasure is all mine. Really." She then turned and shook Mr. Weasley's hand, all while smiling politely. When they were all finished greeting each other, Hermione spoke up. "This is my twin sister." Both Weasly's looked shocked and looked at Alicia, who nodded. "Hermione was adopted by the Grangers when she was 3 months old when she was taken from my parents." She said. After that there was a moment of uncomfortable silence. It was soon broken when the Weasly children and Harry came in and stopped when they saw Hermione and Alicia. "Hermione?" they all asked in unison.
