August1st

Hermione and Blaise woke up early so they could double check their bags and make sure they had everything they needed for school then after breakfast they left with their Mom to head for the train station.


"Okay kids are you sure you have everything?"Sarah asked as they were saying goodbye before boarding the train.

"Yes we have everything. I even wrote the Granger's and told them I'd keep in touch." Hermione said.

"I guess we'll see you at Christmas then Mom."Blaise said.

"Yeah. I be here to pick you both up. Have a good year, and take care of each other."Sarah said hugging them both then watching them board the train.

"So are we sitting together or are you sitting with Potter and your friends?"Blaise asked.

"I don't know.I don't know if they'll let me sit with them."

"Well go see and if not come sit with me."

"Wont you be sitting with the other Slytherin's like Malfoy?"

"Yeah but don't worry. They wont bother you. I swear."

Hermione nodded then started looking for Harry.A couple compartments down Hermione finally found him sitting with Ginny,Ron, and Neville.

"Can I come in or am I exiled from the island?"She asked opening the door.

Harry laughed "I didn't boot you. Did anyone else?"

Ginny and Neville shook their heads and then Hermione looked at Ron.

"Why don't you go sit with your brother?"Ron said.

"Fine I will, and why don't you grow up for once in your life."Hermione then shook her head and walked back to sit with Blaise.


"Can you believe her telling me to grow up? She's a traitor and she expects us to just ignore that."Ron said to everyone in the compartment.

"Well you are immature. She can't help who her family is, noone can.She was your bestfriend why can't she still be?" Ginny said.

"Wait a second what's going on?" Neville asked completely in the dark about the whole situation.

"Hermione is really a pureblood.She's Blaise Zambini's twin sister." Ron said.

"I always thought they resembled each other.I just never thought they were related though because of her being 'muggle'."Neville said picking up a book to read.

"Yeah Ron. I think your gonna be the only one to react like this towards the whole situation."Harry said.

"You mean overreact." Ginny said giggling.


Hermione opened her brother's compartment door and stepped inside.

"What happened did they boot you out?" Blaise asked her.

Hermione looked around at the faces looking back at.Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy,Millecent, and Malfoy were all giving her death glares.

"No I walked out because Ron was being an ass still. I thought I'd let you know I'm gonna go still with Lavender, and Parvati."

"Why? I told you to sit with me if you wanted."

"No offence or anything but by the looks I'm getting I should be 6 feet under or more.I'll just see you at school."

Blaise stood up and grabbed his sisters hand before she could get out of the compartment and sat her down beside him.

"Your gonna sit here and if any of my friends have a problem with it they can leave."

Noone objected so Hermione pulled out a book annd tried to pas time and glares by reading. Blaise chuckled a little then continued his conversation with Draco.

Harry decided half way through the ride to try to find Hermione and get her to come back to their compartment. He found her and knocked on the compartment door.

"Yeah?" Someone said. Harry opened the door and stepped into the doorway.

"I just came to see if Mione was okay."He said seeing the look he was getting from everyone even Hermione.

"I'm fine Harry."

"Well then come back and sit with us. Ron will keep his mouth shut. I promise."

"Harry I don't feel up to the cold shouler by him right now. I mean school hasn't even begun yet and I'm already screwing up."

"Alright well if you change your mind you know where we are."Harry then shut the door and left.

"I have to ask. Why do you hang out with those losers?" Draco said.

Hermione gave him a stern look "They aren't losers. Harry has saved my life so many times, and Ron is a great friend when he's not being a jerk.They are the only ones I could count on when you all were giving me a hard time. They're the only ones who really cared about me.They've always been there for me through any rough patch, and I know that if I ever need them they'd be there even if they are mad at me. How many friends do you have that would do that for you besides Blaise?"

"Mione it's okay. I'm sorry we were jerk to you about the whole Mudblood thing, but thats in the past now. I'm here for you too."

"I know that Blaise but that shouldn't matter. You should've been there before.Besides the only reason they're not teasing me is because I'm not a Mudblood anymore, and you probably threatened them."Hermione took a deep breath."I'm gonna go change we should almost be at school."

Hermione left and Blaise put his head in his hands.

"She had no right to talk to you like that." Pansy said.

"Yes she did. She's right.I should've protected her better. We're twins and somehow I should've known that from day one at Hogwarts."

"I still can't believe she's your sister." Goyle said.

They all decided to change into their school robes before the train got to close to the school, and then sat in silence the rest of the way there.Hermione never returned to the compartment instead she sat with Lavender and Parvati the rest of the trip.She had a lot to think about and it was starting to get to be to much.

They arrived at the hogsmead station and Blaise still couldn't find his sister.He took a carriage with Draco,Pansy, and Goyle up to the castle hopeing he'd see her before they went in to the Graet Hall.He looked around and finally spotted her getting out of a carriage with Seamus, Dean, and Luna.

"Hey Mione I've been looking everywhere for you.Why didn't you come back to the compartment?"

"Don't you have someone else to bother Zambini?"Seamus asked.

"It's okay Seamus, he's my brother.My twin brother.I didn't come back because I just wanted to be alone."

"Your a Zambini?"Dean asked.

"Yes she is. What did you need to think about?"Blaise asked.

"Weird."Luna said.

"Can we have a minute?"Hermione and Blaise said in unison.

"Yep they're twins."Seamus said then he,Dean, and Luna left them alone.

"I just needed to think about this year.I mean this is gonna be a big change for me. I'm not longer know it all Granger, I'm now know it all Zambini.This is alot to adjust to, you know."

"I understand, and together we can work it out."Blaise said holding out his hand.

Hermione looked at it then took it "Together."

They headed into the castle together knowing that news would spread fast about whoHermione was nowand that they were related.As soon as they entered the Great Hall whispers started. Hermione went to sit at her table while Blaise sat at his.After the feast and much questioning fromeveryone, everyonefinally went to bed so the new school year could start tomorrow.


"Hermione are you really Zambini's twin?" Lavender asked as they got ready for bed.

"Yep.I'm still me though so you don't have to freak."

"We would never freak on you."Parvati said "We know you to well, and we know you would never betray us."

"Thanks guys."

"No problem. Good night Hermione."Parvati said.

"Goodnight."
