"Hermione dear, what is the matter. You normally don't come over unannounced."
Hermione shook her head trying to think how to start.
"I hope I am not interrupting something serious, but I have something very important that I need to talk to you about Molly. I was just to talk to you and Arthur but seeing as everyone is here if it would be alright It may be better to tell you all. It will affect all of you in some way."
Molly stood up and ushered Hermione to a seat at the table.
"Hermione, I know that it must be something important if you came all the way here. We were talking about some issues with some spouses, but I think that can wait. Tell us dear what is the matter."
Hermione looked to Ginny and nodded to her before she started talking.
"So, Ginny already knows this but a few days ago I performed an ancient spell with the guidance of Minerva. This spell was to find my soulmate/soulmates. And we only did this because I was having no luck finding a loophole in the new law."
Hermione stopped to look around the table to make sure people were keeping up with the story before continuing. It seemed everyone was keeping pace, so Hermione continued.
"Anyways, this spell will find your soulmate or mates anywhere in the world. It can only be preformed by someone who is exceptionally powerful. Otherwise it can kill the one preforming it. Well it turns out that the reason that It needs to be someone powerful is that it can bring your soulmate to you even if they had died. Basically, bringing them back from the dead. And as Gin knows I apparently have 4 soulmates that were dead. We know this because their skeletons showed up on my doorstep after preforming the spell."
Hermione stopped again to let this information sink in. she looked around the table reading everyone's looks. Ginny was looking confused as to why she was sharing this with her family, Bill and Charlie looked interested in the magic that could bring back the dead, George looked happy at the prospect that there may be a possibility of bringing back the dead. Ron looked disgusted at the thought of skeletons. Molly and Arthur looked weary.
"Why are you telling us this dear? I mean it must be a very confusing time for you but why would this effect our family?"
Everyone seemed to nod at Molly's questions. It seemed to be the main ones that everyone wanted answered.
"Well the thing is the first 2 of my 4 skeletons seem to have finished reviving, and it seems you were right Molly that I would eventually join your family, but you had the wrong family members in mind. The 2 men that I woke up to this morning were Gideon and Fabian. Your older twin brothers."
The room was silent for like 10 seconds before it exploded in yelling. Molly seemed to be the only one not saying anything. Bill and Charlie telling Hermione that what she was saying was some sick joke, Ron saying that there was no way she could be soulmates with his uncles as she had never met them. Ginny was upset that she missed seeing her uncles because she came home to recover from her hangover and Arthur was trying to get everyone to be quiet. George was staring at Hermione like she had grown an extra head. Hermione had had enough; she stood and slammed her hands against the table effectively quieting the room.
"I came here because I thought that as the only family that they have living Molly should be informed that her brothers are back amongst the living and that I respect Molly as a mother figure too much to not inform her first. That being said, if you would like to see them, I will send my Patronus and have them floo over here. It is up to you Molly."
Hermione sat back down looking at Molly. She looked as if she had seen a ghost. Suddenly tears started rolling out of her eyes. It broke Hermione's heart to know she caused Molly to cry. Molly finally looked Hermione in the eyes.
"If you are telling the truth and knowing you and how much you think of this family as your own, I hope you are telling the truth, then I want to see my big brothers."
Hermione nodded and pulled out her wand.
"expecto patronum"
Hermione's otter flew out of her wand and after making a loop around the room stood in front of her.
"I need you to go to the twins and tell them I am ready for them to floo over to the Burrow. We are in the kitchen."
The otter did another lap around the kitchen before leaving. They all just sat there in silence waiting for the sound of the floo. The whole Weasley family staring at Hermione. She could almost tell that they all were thinking that if she was lying, she would never be welcome in this family again.
The Floo sounded once and everyone in the room sucked in a breath, when the second floo sounded Hermione let out her breath hollered out to the twins.
"Gideon, Fabian we are in the kitchen. Try not to be to over the top you may give your sister a heart attack."
At that there was some snickering from the hallway as they walked into the kitchen still wearing her pajamas but having found a pair of shirts that were big enough for them while she had been gone. Both of them were wearing the biggest grin.
"See sweetness, I knew you had it in you to make jokes."
Fabian said as he wrapped an arm around Hermione's shoulders and Gideon did the same one the other side of her.
"Guys, how about you focus on your family instead of messing with me. They are the reason we are here after all."
Hermione huffed as she rolled her eyes making George, Ron and Ginny all laugh as it reminded them of how she acted around Fred and George when they were in school. The Twins kissed the sides of Hermione's head and turned to Molly.
"hey little sister, long time no see. We see you expanded the brood by a few… I think you only had 2 when we were alive last time."
