Disclaimer: I regret to inform you that I, in fact,do not own Harry Potter, or anything affiliated with it.
A/N: Sorry that it took so long to update. I don't know when the next update will be either. This chapter will most likely be short since I'm actually supposed to be working on my summer assignments. Also I know that the last chapter was short and kind of fast, but that chapter I had decided to write to show how many relatives were in Hogwarts (yeah I know there are quite a few) and I did not have that in my original plans, but you all seemed to like it anyway.
The votes are in and it is decided that Blaise and Hermione will not be captured by Voldemort. Sorry to those who wanted that to happen.
Chapter 8: You're what and I'm who?
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Hermione shrieked, while still being held in the arms of Severus Snape.
Ginny shared this opinion with her best friend as she got up to shut the door once again. She was looking forward to an explanation of why all three Slytherins were acting so strange. She could take Blaise Zabini's weird behavior and surprisingly Draco Malfoy crying, but Snape was too much. Just looking at him at that moment you would not believe that it was the same evil potion master that had hated the girl that he now clung to his chest. This man had a genuine smile upon his face and his eyes were sparkling. All traces of the hateful potions master were completely gone.
Ginny saw that her best friend was about to say something once more when the bedroom door once again flew open and revealed Theodore Nott and Draco Malfoy both caring a twin in their arms. She remembered vaguely that the two twin girls had been sorted into Gryffindor earlier that night.
"Can you please put me down and tell me what the hell is going on tonight?" Hermione screamed after the newest arrivals had entered the room.
Reluctantly Severus Snape put his niece down, sensing that nothing would be resolved if he had kept her in his arms. Once on the ground, Hermione ran and sat by Ginny getting as far away from the crazy Slytherins as possible. She watched as the two Slytherin boys placed the twin first years on the floor and then joined Blaise on the other side of her bed. She then watched as the twins placed themselves in Professor Snape's lap and was shocked to see her Potion Master smile as they did so.
Everyone sat in silence until Ginny began to talk. "Can we please have an explanation as to what has caused all this madness tonight?" Ginny asked trying to remain calm, but curious at the same time. "Why have all of you guys acting strange towards Hermione?"
"Hermione" Snape asked shocked and confused. "My niece is Miss Granger?"
"YOUR WHAT! NO, there is no way that I am your niece! And still no one has explained to me what has happened here!" Hermione yelled even louder, now afraid and more confused than ever.
"Well that is really quite simple, you see. You are Blaise's long lost twin sister, Rayanna Kaydence Zabini." Draco said, and then as he watched her faint from shock he realized that he probably should have told her the truth lightly instead of just flat out saying it. He didn't have much time to think about his mistake because he was soon being tackled by Blaise and Theo who were quite angry at him for his stupid move. Draco quickly turned to his godfather hoping for help, but all his godfather did was give him an angry glare and made his way over to Rayanna and a very hysterical Ginny Weasley.

Meanwhile, a large black owl had just reached its destination, the Malfoy Manor. Flying through an open window, Apolla quickly found that the Malfoys and the Zabinis were in a sitting room on the second floor of the manor. Quickly flying into the room, she first went to Lucius Malfoy who had stuck his arm out for the bird to land on. Once the letter was removed, Apolla flew across the room and landed in Chloe Zabini's lap. Now free of both letters, the black owl flew across the room and rested on a wooden perch in the corner of the room, resting herself for the fly back to the castle later that night.
Being the first one to receive a letter, he was the first one to finish reading it. Handing the letter to his wife, Lucius ran to the playroom to grab Alden and Samara. He was only halfway back to the sitting room when he heard a shocked yell and a loud thump. Instantly he knew that Chloe had fainted from the shock. Returning to the room, he handed Alden to Tom and Samara to Narcissa, and made his way to an unconscious Chloe. He revived her and took the note from her hand. He saw that it read almost the same as the one that he had received.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Zabini,
I am pleased to inform you that tonight I have
discovered who Rayanna really is. Blaise is currently
with her, though she is rather confused by his action.
I think that you should come immediately. I have sent a note to
my parents as well telling them the same news. No need to
worry about her relatives at school I will round them up and bring
them to the Head's Common Room. The password is twins.
With love,
Draco Malfoy
Shortly after Chloe Zabini was woken, there were four loud pops and the four adults and two children were gone, soon to arrive in Hogsmead and eventually to Hogwarts where they would find the child that they had thought they would never see again. Feeling rested enough for her flight, Artemis took off on her journey to Hogwarts, to arrive a short time after the Malfoys and the Zabinis.

The boys had finally pulled themselves off of Draco after Ginny Weasley had yelled to them that Hermione was awake. Draco quickly got up and made is way to the other side of the room, all the while receiving hateful glares from Blaise. After a few minutes, Blaise's attention was diverted to his sister as she sat up in bed. Seeing that she was still confused, Blaise decided to explain to her what exactly was going on.
"On September 9, 1980, Blaise Damien Zabini and Rayanna Kaydence Zabini were born to Chloe Eliza Zabini and Thomas Elliot Zabini. Though only a few people were aware of this. Hardly anyone knew that mum had twins. The public was only told that our parents had birthed a baby boy. The only other families to know were the Malfoys, the Notts, the Zafrences and Uncle Sev. At the time it was dangerous to have a baby girl and even more dangerous to have twins, so mum and dad, the Malfoys and the rest of our family kept you a secret for eight months, but they eventually had to give you up for fear that someone would find out. I don't know much of that night, all we know is that Lucius took you to an orphanage and he never quite got over it." Blaise explained as he watched her face change from confused to shock to understanding and back to shock.
Draco watched as Rayanna look around the room, realizing that everyone currently in the room was her family or might as well be considered such. He watched as she pulled a necklace out from under her shirt and began tracing the letters. He watched as Blaise began to do the same thing. What he didn't know was at that time, they once again saw a vision. Each saw their sibling smiling and happy.
Theo saw the actions of his cousins and was happy that Rayanna was finally returned to her family. When Draco had told him that he had found Ray, he was thrilled, but also afraid that the girl, whoever she might be, would not accept her true heritage. He was pleased to see that after a brief explanation from Blaise, she was able to accept who she really was. He watched her smile at her brother. A smile that quickly turned into a frown as Lucius Malfoy flung open the door, ran straight to the clearly frightened girl, and pulled her into a hug; muttering her name over and over again.
A/N: Well that's that. I hoped that you all liked it. I don't know when I will get the next chapter out with school starting and all.
