A few days later in DADA they were working on wandless magic for defensive uses. Tonks (this year's professor because Dumbledore was so busy with the order he left the task of finding the teacher to the last minute, so Tonks volunteered.)

Tonks had split them into pairs, she had at least allowed them to stay within their own houses for this exersise. The exersise was for one partner to hold the other one down with their body as the other partner tried to give off an electrical shock known as a defensive charge, if successful, it should throw their partner off them.

Lindsay and Ron had been paired together (much to Hermione's annoyance), and Harry and Hermione were in another pairing. It was Harry's turn to be the defender, and so Hermione latched onto him, Pulling him onto the floor face down and holding him down as best she could. He was having some difficulty and after a few minutes of trying, Hermione got a little bored, her eyes scanned the room as she heard giggling to her right. She turned around to see Lindsay on her back with Ron facing her on the ground and attacking her with tickling!

"RON! (giggle)GET OFF (giggle) OF ME! (more giggling)" lindsay pleaded desperately.

"Sorry, no can do!" ron said playfully as he stopped tickling lindsay, lifted his arms and legs off of the ground laying all of his bodyweight uncomfortably on her torso.

The sight was so much for hermione that she let down her guard on harry and he ended up sending her across the room.

"Oops, sorry!" Harry called

but Hermione did not hear him, she was still transfixed on Lindsay and Ron. He was still partially crushing her with his body and eventually Lindsay's body instintively re-acted with a defensive charge, one so strong that it sent him straight up into the air. He screamed, but Tonks quickly stepped in and placed a cushoning charm on the floor to prevent him from being injured.

"You see, THIS (gestures towards Lindsay and Ron) is what happens when your body AS WELL as your mind senses peril, it reacts instinctively of it's own violation with a much stronger charge than one your mind alone could have conjured. Miss Granger, Mr Weasly thank you for demonstrating this for us." Tonks pauses as she takes a look at her watch "Well our time is about up for this class, I'd like a 10 inch report on the difference between a mental and a physical reaction to danger using the defensive charge as an example. I'm letting you off easy with the paperwork, but your other homework is to practice the charge as much as you can. My room will be open and the walls, floor and ceiling will be cushoned. Class dismissed! Lindsay, if I could speak with you privately for a moment please?"

"Meet me back at the commonroom okay?" lindsay asked the trio in parting before she went to see Tonks.

"Professor, you wanted to see me?" she asked politely

"Yes I did. It has come to my attention that you and miss granger are twins are you not?"

"Yes"
"identical twins if I'm not mistaken" Tonks said with a small smirk on her face

Lindsay stared open mouthed and in shock at the professor before nodding slightly. Then an idea struck her. "She told you, didn't she, the nasty little troll! UGH! Why does she have to be such a brat! Please don't spread it around!"

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me, and Hermione told me nothing, people like us have a way of knowing our own kind. For instance, did you know that all of us have a "normal" twin sibling, my sister was a still born, but I still had my gift. It's funny really, it's mostly our kind are that dies in the womb."

"So you won't even tell the other teachers? Dumbledore is the only other one who knows, and for now I'd like to keep it like that, I'll tell people in my own time."

"Don't worry about me, we metamorphagi have to stick together."

A/N there ya go! NOW you know about her little secret ability that she wants to hide, and also what secret hermione has to put over her head!
