Author's Note - Hiya everyone. Just thought I'd start up a new story. I'm really excited about this plot line so I'm hoping you will all like it. Well anyway I'm making this pre HBP because I didn't like the turnout of that so...yeah! Ciao xxx.

Disclaimer - My lawyer has informed me I do not actually own Harry Potter.

Summary - The trio are going into sixth year when Hermione Granger finds out some rather disturbing news about herself. She was given up for adoption at birth! Not only this but she is actually a pureblood. She has no idea who her real family are. What would she do if she found out she were a Zabini? (DMHG)

September 9th 1980

Gabrielle Zabini smiled at the two small babies in her arms. Only one hour ago had she given birth to the twins. One now dressed in blue by the name of Blaise and one in pink by the name of Mia. A knock at the door caused Gabrielle almost to jump in fright. She called for them to come in. It was 4 people and a baby. One was a nurse who walked in first. The others were her husband Adrian who was grinning from ear to ear and Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy with their 8 month old baby Draco. Gabrielle smiled warmly at them all.

"You are free to leave in 4 hours Mrs Zabini." she said briskly before exiting the room. The three adults left took up a chair each after Narcissa had put baby Draco into a cot. They all looked at the twins wordlessly. Gabrielle was still beaming. Eventually Adrian decided to make a request.

"Can I hold one please?" he asked nervously. Gabrielle laughed. She nodded and handed Blaise to him. There was no way she would let him hold both at once. He would probably drop the poor babies. Lucius looked Gabrielle in the eye.

"Could I?" he asked just as nervously as Adrian had. Gabrielle and Narcissa both laughed before she handed Mia over to him.

"So what have you called them?" Narcissa asked joyously.

"Blaise and Mia. The one in pink being Mia and the one in blue being Blaise obviously." she said delightedly. She chatted with her two friends and husband for a while not thinking of the bad that could happen. But unfortunately she would have to think of it eventually.

November 1st 1980

Gabrielle, Adrian, Narcissa and Lucius sat in the Malfoy Manor discussing and gossiping as usual. All of their children were asleep in the nursery. An owl soared through the window and dropped a large envelope in front of Gabrielle. It was her copy of that days Daily Prophet. Casually she excused herself from the conversation so that she could read the paper. Something she did often. She gasped as she read the front page.

Baby Potter Defeats Dark Lord

The day that nearly all witches and wizards across the world have waited for has come at last. The Dark Lord has been defeated. In the late hours last night He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named turned up at the doorstep of the Potters house in a bid to kill James and Harry Potter. It caused quite a disturbance in the area. Unfortunately He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named succeeded in killing Mr James Potter who had recently turned 22. Lily Potter who was the wife of James was also murdered it has been rumoured. The rumours also say that when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named turned upon Harry Potter a mere baby the curse backfired and banished He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Others say that he wasn't killed and will come back one day.

'He is not gone. He will bide his time until he sees fit to continue.' Albus Dumbledore comments.

Continued on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Gabrielle dropped the paper in shock causing everyone to turn and look at her in surprise. Narcissa picked up the paper which Gabrielle had dropped and scanned it quickly before gasping. She flung the paper to both men who read it as quickly as possible. When finished they all stared at each other in shock.

"Does this mean we will be free once again Lucius?" Narcissa asked timidly. Lucius turned to look at his wife.

"For the time being yes. He is not gone I assure you. He mentioned before that he had his ways of staying alive. No-one knows what these are. Until he makes a return." Lucius answered. Gabrielle looked at him.

"But you will return to him?" she gasped. Lucius looked at the floor.

"I must. He will kill Narcissa and Draco if I do not. I will not put them in danger. I will act as a true follower when he returns. I will also have to act dark and I will need to get used to acting like I hate muggles, muggleborns half-bloods etc. It would do well for your childrens safety if you did too."

Gabrielle nodded sadly. 'Poor Potters' she thought to herself.

December 20th 1980

Gabrielle darling, we need to have a talk." Adrian announced as he sat down beside his wife. She turned to look at him in confusion. It was rare that her husband would say this and when he did it was not usually about a good subject.

"Yes hunny?" she asked a little nervous. He placed his hand on hers comfortingly.

"It turns out that the Death Eaters have found out that we have had twins. Unfortunately because we have 2 they want us to give one over to them. They said if we only had one they would leave us be." he said solemnly. Gabrielle nearly choked on her tea.

"Which one is it they are after?" she asked dreading the answer.

"Mia."

Gabrielle broke into tears. She knew everything had been to good to be true.

"There is no way on earth that I'm giving my daughter to those beasts." she said between sobs.

"Which is exactly why I sugest we put her up for adoption and tell the Death Eaters she died. We will put a glamour charm on her tomorrow. We will get her back one day."

Shaking madly, Gabrielle nodded.

December 24th 1980

Clutching a small bundle in her arms Gabrielle Zabini ran along the dark, snow filled street as fast as she could. She glanced down at the innocent bundle in her care. She sobbed as she thought of what she was doing. Why, she asked herself. Why does it have to be my child? She wrapped the blanket tighter around her little girl. A loud clock chimed sounding midnight. Gabrielle couldn't believe she was giving up her daughter on Christmas. It was so unfair. What did the Dark Lord's Death Eaters want with her daughter anyway? Whatever it was, Gabrielle could not let her little girl turn into a monster. She wouldn't have it. The only answer was to secretly put her up for adoption. She would now have to grow up without her twin brother. Without her real family. Gabrielle looked ahead. She was nearly there now. Just a minute or so now. At long last she stood outside a rather formal looking building. Above it read a sign saying 'Baby Adoption Agency'. True, it was a muggle adoption centre but Gabrielle had agreed with her husband that it was best that she grew up away from the evil world of magic. Until she was old enough anyway. Gabrielle stepped inside the building. A woman sat behind a large mahogany desk writing in a journal. She looked up as she felt the rush of coldness meaning the front door had been opened. Gabrielle shuffled forward to the desk. The worker pursed her lips into a thin straight line that reminded Gabrielle strongly of her former transfiguration Professor.

"Hello, I would like to give my child up for adoption." Gabrielle said to the woman with tears streaming down her face. The woman looked her up and down and nodded.

"May I ask the baby's gender and name?" the woman enquired. Gabrielle nodded solemnly.

"She's a female by the name of Mia. But if a family adopts her I wish for them to change her name." she replied voice full of emotion. The woman behing the desk nodded understandingly.

"I will also need to know Mia's date of birth."

"September 9th 1980." Gabrielle choked. "Anything else you must know?" she asked. The woman nodded.

"Is there anything you wish me to give the family or a passdown to Mia?"

Gabrielle nodded and pulled a box and envelope out of her pocket. She handed them to the woman behind the desk. The woman took them and placed them beside her.

"The letter is for the parents and the box is for Mia. Please do not tell the family of the personal information I have given you other than her date of birth. Please give Mia to good people. It is my only wish that she is taken good care of."

The woman nodded in approval. She outstretched her hands to take little Mia from Gabrielle. Gabrielle gave her child a quick peck on her forehead before whispering something that the woman could not hear. She handed her child across to the woman before dashing from the agency as fast as she could. After running a good bit from the agency she stopped. She snapped her eyes shut and apparated to her manor. With a loud POP she landed in her livingroom where her husband sat gazing into the fireplace.

"Did you do it?" he asked without even looking up at his wife. She fell down into the seat opposite him. He looked across at her. She nodded her head sadly. Her husband Adrian asked stood up and moved across to sit by his wife. She moved herself onto his knee and sobbed into him.

"Everything will work out in the end. I promise." he whispered soothingly in her ear as a single tear fell from his eye. He hugged Gabrielle closer to him.

"It isn't right for twins to be seperated." she choked.

"Blaise will meet his sister eventually. We will tell him of her as soon as he is old enough to understand."

Gabrielle nodded before falling asleep in her husbands arms.
