A/N: sorry about the short first chapter and the long wait for this one. I'll try to make this one
longer, this is the first fic I've published. I've been really busy because of end of year band and
choir stuff, not to mention my 6-month anniversary with my boyfriend AND my 16th birthday. I
still have to set up a time for that...darn... anyway, hope you like this one.
And thanks SO much to all my reviewers, Lariren-Shadow, you're quite right fraternal twins
CAN be of the same gender, in fact my 3rd cousins are both guys and they are fraternal twins.
And don't worry about her becoming Mary-sueish, she will have some faults, and conflict is a
sure thing! Well I guess I'll just leave you to read it now!

After the start of year banquet, Lindsay headed up to the common room with Harry and Ron,
Hermione had left the feast ages ago. She was still fuming about her sis being at hogwarts.

When they jumped through the portrait hole, Hermione was in the common room waiting for
them. She immediately grabbed Lindsay by the arm "We need to talk . . . NOW!" Hermione
snapped as she tried to drag Lindsay upstairs to the girls dorms.

"Hey Hermione, we want to know what's up too!" Harry called from the base of the stair case.

"Get yourselves down here!" yelled Ron.

"Coming" Lindsay called back in a singsong voice, much to her sister's displeasure. Hermione
glared at her before letting go of her arm and following her down the stairs.

Lindsay took a seat on the couch next to Ron, as harry and Hermione both took up seats in
armchairs, Hermione did NOT like how close Ron and Lindsay were sitting 'who does she think she is???' she thought to herself.

Harry was the first to talk "so what brings you here to hogwarts?"

"My school was the Hogwarts branch of education in Canada, but it only went up to our OWLs, after that, we transfer top another school for our NEWTs and the year proceeding them." Lindsay answered.

"So WHY Hogwarts?" asked Hermione impatiently.

"Because I did not want to go the Canadian branch of Beauxbatons in Montreal. I decided on
Hogwarts because I have family here in England." replied Lindsay

"Why didn't you TELL us you had a sister?" Ron directed this question to Hermione.

"Because I like to forget it myself sometimes!" retorted Hermione

"aw...c'mon Hermie, is that anyway to talk about your sister?" Lindsay pouted

At this Harry and Ron burst out laughing. "She calls you Hermie?"Harry asked between giggles.
Ron was unable to say anything, he was laughing too hard.

Hermione turned Red in the face and told the two of them to shut up if they knew what was good for them. "Unless you ENJOY the effects of a bat bogey hex!" they shut up very quickly after that.

Lindsay took this moment of silence to tell them a shortened history of her and Hermione.
"When Hermione and I were born, we were both adopted by the same family, The Grangers.
However, one of us was adopted by a couple and the other was adopted my the husband's
Brother. We were actually not muggleborns, we're half bloods, our biological mother was a
muggle and our dad was a squib. That's why nobody realized we had any magical potential when we were young... actually let me rephrase that, nobody realised Hermione had any magical
potential when she was young. I had started using Wandless magic early on when I was 6
months, I accidentally turned my hair blue... but anyway, when I was 8 my dad was transferred
to Canada to work, so I went with. I've only seen Hermione on a few separate occasions since
then, like Christmases and such. when I was 11, I got my Hogwarts letter, but it was for a school in Ontario. I found out when I went to visit the English Grangers that Christmas that Hermione was at the English hogwarts. We've seen each other a couple of times since then, but meh. Nothing extraordinary happened."

For a while there was silence, Lindsay was sitting quietly, Hermione was fuming still, Harry was

trying take in all he had heard and Ron was still ogling Lindsay, it was hard to tell if he had been
listening at all.

It was Hermione who broke the silence. "Well, aren't you forgetting something important about
how we're fraternal twins?"she said with a smirk.

"Nope" Lindsay replied. "Well, I'm off to bed, in fact we both should turn in Hermie. It's been a
long day for both of us." Lindsay said as she clasped onto her sister's arm and dragged her up the
stairs before there was any time for anyone to object. A/N sorry again for the short chapter, I'm not good at writing long ones, they just seem to drag
on and on when I do. I'll make it up to you by posting my next chapter asap.
