hello hello, sohere's the next chapter. i'm not too happy about it but i thought i'd let you decide.
Hermione stood still, too shocked to move.
After all, six years have passed since the last time they've been in the same room.
Finally regaining control of her senses, she ran toward Sebastian, enveloping the dark figure in a tight hug.
Several minutes went by.
The other occupants of the room stood in complete silence, afraid to ruin the moment. Their eyes never left the entwined figures in the far corner of the room.
The cloaked witch was comfortingly running her hand over Hermione's hair, whispering something in her ear. After a little while, Hermione's hand slowly made its way to the hood of the cloak and she hesitantly pulled it back.
Everyone stared at the girl standing before them. Her face was astonishingly similar to Hermione's and yet it was different in so many ways, it didn't make much sense, but lately it seemed that logic was a rare commodity.
Sebastian smiled slightly and gently disentangled herself from Hermione's arms, though not letting go of her completely. Still holding her sisters hand, she walked towards Dumbledore and hugged the old man.
"Hello guardian" a soft voice stated "long time no see" she added with a smile.
"Hello child" Dumbledore said broadly smiling as well, he seemed immensely relieved though no one really understood why, "Welcome home".
Turning towards the fireplace, Sebastian stared at the flames, seemingly deep in thought. "Home" she whispered, "sounds nice".
She turned around again and quietly stood next to Hermione.
Hermione turned to her and said "Bastian, these are my friends Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and…"
"Ginny Weasley" Sebastian finished for her,
"I recognized you by the descriptions in Mia's letters" she clarified, sensing their slight confusion.
"Hi…pleased to meet you" Sebastian said with a pleasant smile, "I'm Sebastian De La Ferre, Hermione's sister, but I guess you already knew that".
The guys nodded and greeted her.
Sebastian now focused on Hermione allowing the others to examine her closely.
She was taller then Hermione, and the slightly parted cloak revealed a fitting black outfit over what seemed to be a lean body, though it was hard to tell.
Her body language conveyed complete confidence, her back straight and her head held high.
However it was Sebastian's face that caught their attention.
Each and every one of her features was identical to Hermione's in its shape, but had a twist that made it completely different.
Her full pouty lips, were very pale unlike Hermione's pink ones, and she had a small scar on her left cheekbone, in the shape of an X.
Her right eyebrow was pierced which highly accentuated her strange eyes and drew attention to them.
It were in fact the eyes, that made the biggest difference. Although shaped just like her sister's, Sebastian's eyes were a very light brown, almost transparent, and her pupils were nerrow, much like those of a cat. She had dark long eyelashes and a penatrating gaze.
To top it all off, while Hermione had long brown curls, Sebastian had straight black hair falling on her back in layers.
"I still can't believe it" Ginny whispered to the boys, "She is standing right in front of me but I still can'tbelieve thatshe truly exists."
At the same time the sisters were having a conversation of their own.
"I keep thinking I'm about to wake up and find out this was just another dream" Sebastian began, "I don't know if I would've managed to handle it had it been the case".
"But it's not the case Bastian, you're with me now, at home" Hermione reassured her, "and that's not going to change so I hope you're ok with that" she added, laughing a bit.
Sebastian sighed and ran a hand through her hair, it was a nervous habit the girls shared.
"So much to talk about, Mia. Despite the letters, we still have so much to talk about. I want to know all about your life here".
The girls wrote each other constantly. Every night they would sit, each in her room and 'talk'. You see, the 'letters', as Sebastian called them, weren't exactly letters.
Since they were physicallyvery far apart and sending actual letters took too long Sebastian created special journals. The journals came in pairs, and every month César would bring one to Hermione while Sebastian kept the other. That way, when one of them wrote something in her journal, it immediately appeared in its pair and so the girls could 'talk', as they did every night.
But there are some things you just can't write in a journal.
"I know, Bastian, and you will. But I need you to tell me about your life as well. You never did write much about how you were doing and always said you'd tell me once we were together. Well, now we are, and I need to know".
Sebastian closed her eyes as a pained expression marred her features. It disappeared as quickly as it came and she opened her eyes. "I will Mia, I promise I'll tell you everything I can, just give me time."
Dumbledore decided to pick that precise moment to gather everyone's attention.
"It is very late and I think Sebastian could use a good night's sleep" He said with a knowing look in his eyes.
Sebastian was in fact terribly tired, she hadn't slept at all those past several days. She just couldn't allow anything to go wrong, but in Durmstrang, everything went wrong if you weren't careful enough. So she didn't sleep and didn't eat, she did nothing but get her things ready, keep her eyes open and wait for the time to come.
And now that she was finally here, all the happiness aside, she truly needed a rest.
Hermione could sense her sister's distress and she simply nodded "we've waited for six years, what is another night?"
After bidding farewell to the others, the girls quickly found themselves in the heads common room.
"My room is up there" Hermione said and pointed to the door at the end of the staircase.
Draco was awoken for the second time that night, he went to his door and opened it just in time to see Hermione close hers.
'She sure makes a lot of noise for such a small person' Draco thought to himself.
Boy was he in for a surprise.
