I know that people have been reading but I have one tiny little problem- I have no idea if you like it or not! Please review even if it's to tell me you think it's awful! This chapter is extra long because it's the holidays and i may be able to get another one out soon! Enjoy!

Hermione's heart turned cold, this monster couldn't be her sister, it just wasn't possible that they were related! "Granger, get out of my sister's room right this second!"

"The name's Romano now, so it looks like I am your sister"

"But I hate you! You're a mudblood! How can we be related? I look like a princess and you are practically a troll!"

Her blood boiled, looks like she still had the view that the trio had been trying so hard to fight.

"Don't flatter yourself Parkinson, everyone knows you look like a pug and Draco only went out with you because he had to!"

Thinking about it Pansy didn't even look like her, maybe it was a mistake after all.

"That's not true! He loved me! I was the Queen of Slytherin"

"He loved you so much that I caught him in a broom closet with that complete whore Astoria..."

"That was one time!"

"... at least once a week"

Hermione smirked proud that she had finally stood up to someone; the war had definitely made her a stronger person.

"What! I could kill that girl! But that doesn't matter anyway; I was probably snogging Teddy's face off in next door!"

The smirk disappeared fairly rapidly but internally she was over the moon, she now had some dirty gossip on her former tormenter

"Do you slytherins have no shame at all? And Nott? Is he good enough for anyone, even you?"

"His family are amazingly rich, almost richest after the Malfoys lost their money because of the war. Teddy's family never got caught like them. With the Parkinsons almost bankrupt it was a question of weather I was good enough for him, totally different story now, I'm practically royalty. Shame you had to tag along though"

"Whatever, Who are the Romanos anyway?"

"I'm shocked! Little miss know it all is asking the enemy for help, never thought I'd see the day. What would weasel-bee say?"

"Zabini would probably have a heart attack if he saw you even glancing to me. Anyways you're hardly the enemy, you're apparently my sister and we're probably twins too, but you seem to know a lot more about this family than I do!"

"They're rich and pretty, stayed neutral during the war and disappeared off the face of the planet about 18 years ago."

"That's all you know?"

"Yes, now we have to go meet Daddy in his study"

Pansy turned and walked out of the room and Hermione followed her into the entrance of their suite where a house elf was waiting patiently.

"What's he like anyway? Mum made him out to be a total control freak" Hermione asked as they followed the elf through the house to meet their father.

"He's ok but let's be honest, he lost his daughters for almost all of their lives, and he'll be wrapped around our little fingers in no time. I'm taking you shopping as soon as I can, if you're my sister you can at least be stylish, you have a whole new chance to have a different personality and actually fit in somewhere for once"

Just go with it, Hermione thought, maybe she could finally get a hot boyfriend and not appear totally prude.

"As long as I don't look like a total whore I don't care"

"You're gonna have to learn the pureblood rules too, else there'll be major trouble"

"Sure sure, as long as I don't have to marry someone medieval I don't care"

They had arrived in front of a mahogany door, complete with snake shaped knocker.

"Go on" Pansy hissed

Pansy pushed Hermione in front of her and motioned for her to knock on the door. Hermione's mind was full of images of what would be behind the door, would their father use serve punishments or be as gentle as a teddy bear? She summoned her courage and knocked.

"Come in girls" a voice boomed

Hermione opened the door and was greeted by a large room with dark mahogany furnishings. Slytherin colours were everywhere. A green and silver lamp on the desk and emerald blankets on the dark brown leather chairs.

"Have a seat Hera, Glad to finally meet you Aphrodite, please sit down"

"Yes Father" Hermione bleated, desperate that her father wouldn't take any offence. Pansy smirked up from her arm chair.

"No need for that formal nonsense darling, I'm Daddy to you ok?"

"Sure Daddy"

Hermione blushed as she sat down in a large chair next to her sister. Her dad was sat opposite them with a large desk in between them.

"So you're probably wondering why we didn't bring you up and why you're here now!"

"Well I guessed that were here because Voldemort is finally dead" Said Hermione, praying she hadn't spoken out of turn.

"Intelligent guess my dear, when you were adopted we made sure to charm your house so that the moment the dark lord was dead you would be returned here and we would know to fetch your sister."

"But why did you give us up, I mean you have more than enough money to raise us, you wouldn't even have to see us this place is so big!" said Pansy

"We didn't choose to give you up my dear. Never doubt that your mother and I love you. We had to give you away else you would've been killed. When your mother was pregnant a prophecy was made. It said that one twin from an ancient and noble house, who was pure of blood, would bring down the dark lord, while the other would unwillingly help him until his last day when they would switch and become loyal to Albus Dumbledore. When You-know-who found out he was determined to kill any twins born into a noble house. When you were born your mum pretended that you had died, not uncommon in pureblood families because of all the incest, and gave you away. One to a pureblood family who had recently lost their newborn daughter, they pretended as if she had never died and claimed that you Hera were their true daughter. Aphrodite you were given to some muggles that helped your mother when she was a child, they were tricked into thinking that you really were their true daughter and as soon as you were bought home you would be forgotten by them, completely erased from their life. We then went into hiding and everyone presumed that we had died of grief from our loss!"

"But if we're twins why don't we look the same?" Hermione's logic took over

"Oh you do - the wonders that complex glamour charms can do!"

"Well would you mind undoing them, I can't stand her ugly face being next to mine" sneered Pansy

"Hera! Please! You must forget your past and treat your sister as if you have known each other since birth. Hermione Granger is going to move to Australia with her parents and Pansy will die in a tragic accident. The Romano twins must pretend that they have been soaking up their culture in Italy; we may have influenced your parents into teaching you the language and taking you there on holiday so our story would make sense and we'll e going back there this summer."

"If we're Italian then why do we have Greek names?"

"Oh your mother chose them, her mother was Greek and she wanted to honour the family by giving you both Greek names."

"Riiiiiiggght, how do you undo a glamour charm?"

"Oh we'll have to wait until your mother gets home to do that- she'd never forgive me otherwise! We'll meet you in the family dining room in half an hour, ask and elf if you can't find the way!"
