Author's note: I do not own anything other than the plot and characters other than Hermione.

Hermione sat quietly. She had just gotten home from her 5th year at Hogwarts for the summer, and she was now on an airplane going to Italy. Her parents had gotten a divorce when she was five. Her dad had passed away over Christmas break and now she had to live with her mother. The mother she hadn't seen in ten years, but that was going to end she was going to see her mom and three sisters Cascadia, Evangeline and Demetria. She didn't know much about her mom but she knew a lot about her sisters from their visit over the summer. Her sister Cascadia was seventeen with bright blue eyes and auburn hair. Evangeline and Demetria both were thirteen with hazel eyes and looked exactly the same; the only difference was Evangeline had black hair like her father while Demetria had Auburn like her mother.

Miranda Estes waited. Her daughter Hermione was finally coming home. She hadn't seen Hermione since she was a five year old little girl. She missed the bushy haired girl. Especially when there were thunderstorms, Hermione had been terrified of storms. She had found out that Hermione was magical like her grandmother Anastasia. So much had changed since Miranda had left Lionel Granger for Italy. Where she had met Lance Estes, Lance was a highly respected lawyer in Italy and had met Miranda when he went to church one day. She had found out that he had three sons Kenneth, Logan, Ronnie. She or Lance didn't mind that the other had children with another spouse. The children didn't mind having stepsiblings either. Ronnie was the most protective of the girls.

As Hermione Stepped of the plane she was engulfed in a hug. Her family had tears in their eyes as they did a group hug. Miranda introduced Hermione to Lance, Kenneth, Logan and Ronnie. She was so surprised to see Hermione accept them so quickly. Hermione connected with Logan and Kenneth very easily. Soon it had become like Hermione was their triplet because they were the same age and did everything together. They comforted her when Harry and Ron had betrayed her trust. At the end of the summer Hermione did not want to leave and then transferred to Venice Magical Academy were all her sisters and step-brothers went to school.
