Chapter 2
Recap: "What happened, why did he need to talk to you?" Draco asked his best friend.
Blaise looked at his friends as they all stared back at him, waiting for him to answer.
"She…she's my sister."
Draco and Pansy sat in complete and utter shock, taking in what Blaise just told them.
"Mate, did you just say sister?" Draco asked, incredulous.
"Yes. The man from the Ministry of Magic told us that ….." he trailed off.
"Blaise," Pansy attempted to regain his attention, " What were you going to say?" she asked.
Blaise looked around and could see most of the students were trying not so subtly to listen in on their conversation. "I think I should wait until we're alone," he explained and Draco and Pansy nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Zabini," Professor Dumbledore called out, causing Blaise and everyone else in the hall to look up at podium.
"Yes Professor," Blaise answered.
"Is Miss Granger alright?"
"I can't answer that question, sir, only she can," Blaise replied, looking at Professor Dumbledore before stealing a quick look at Harry and Ron.
"Seeing as there are no more interruptions, students have a great summer. Remember to focus on the bonds of friendship, as now we will need the more than ever," he said eyeing Harry and Ron. "Off to the Carriages."
At once, all of the students jumped up from their seats and made a mad dash for the Entrance Hall. All thoughts of what had just transpired just moments ago wiped from their minds as thoughts of vacations, sleeping in, and not having to worry about tests for a whole three months were entertained with much joy.
Soon the Great Hall was empty and the magic of summer would quickly begin.
ON THE TRAIN
Ron and Harry were running down train corridor, opening and closing the doors to the different compartments looking for Hermione and Ginny.
After ten minutes of useless searching, Ron finally opened the right door.
"Harry, found them!" Ron yelled before stepping in. A few moments later Harry walked in and closed the door behind him. When he turned to face them, he saw Hermione asleep with her head on Ginny's lap and Ginny stroking her hair. He could see that Hermione's face was still wet with tears, her eyes were puffy, and could hear a few of the sniffles that were coming from her.
He looked at Ron, then to Ginny before sitting down next to Ron.
"Ginny, what happened outside the Great Hall?" Harry asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"The man from the Ministry told Hermione that her parents had died in a fire two days ago."
Both Harry and Ron gasped; they knew how close Hermione was to her parents. And finding out they were dead right before leaving for the summer? They knew she had to be dealing with a lot right now.
"Then why did he need to talk to Zabini too, did his family have something to do with this? Cause if they did, I will make them pay," Ron started as his face started to flush crimson with anger.
"Calm down Ron, that's not why he was out there," Ginny said trying to soothe her brother before he did something irreversible. "He was there because it turned out that her parents kidnapped her from her real parents when she was a baby, and her real parents are the Zabini's," Ginny finished.
"WHAT?" They yelled, outraged.
"Will you two be quiet, she is trying to sleep," Ginny scolded them sounding rather like her mother.
Both Harry and Ron looked down in shame as the quietly said their apologies.
"And before you two go running off, yelling that she's not a Zabini and that this is all a hoax, you should to know Mr. Ministry did a blood test in front of me and she is their daughter and his sister. And no matter how much you may not like them, they are her family and she will have to go live with them. They will be waiting for her at the train stop," Ginny explained.
"What do you mean she has to go with them? She's coming to the Burrow with us like we planned," Ron complained.
"No, she can't. Ron, the only reason she was coming with us was because her parents allowed her to. They're dead now," she said with a pointed glare at her idiot of a brother, "and her real parents will be waiting for her at the platform. I doubt they are going to let their long lost daughter spend her first summer from her true home away with another family that they probably don't even approve of to begin with," she said.
"Besides, Harry, you know for a fact that the Zabini's have never chosen a side in the war and they never will," Ginny told them. "They said time and time again they want no part in this."
"But they're best friends with the Malfoys and we know what side they're on," Harry explained vehemently.
"But is she going to live with the Malfoys, Harry? No, she is not. So leave it alone. She's been through so much in the last hour and half and she will need our support with all of this. We need to help her get through with as little bickering and prejudice as possible. That means no talk about evil families. Do you understand me?" Ginny ended, glaring at the two, daring them to contradict her.
"Yeah, I do" Harry answered before looking at Ron. "How do you feel about this Ron?" he asked his best friend.
"Well, I agree with Ginny. Now don't get me wrong Harry, I'm not happy about it in the slightest, but we Hermione's friends and she will need all to help her get through this time with her," Ron answered with a rather grim look on his face.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRAIN
Pansy, Blaise, and Draco all settled in to their compartment, ready to talk about what just happened. Draco started the questions.
"So she's your sister?" Draco asked once again.
" Yeah. The guy from the Ministry said that the people who raised her put a letter in their will explaining that they took her because they didn't want her to be raised to be one thing, so they fucking took her. How does someone just take someone else's child? They're damn lucky that they're pushing up Flutterby's otherwise I would kill them myself," Blaise started obviously upset at the situation.
"I mean I always knew I had a little sister out there, but I just never thought that I would ever meet her. Now that I finally have her back, I find out that I've been an ass to her ever since we met. She's my sister and she hates me. Guys, what am I going to do? I know that she and I never got along, and what if she doesn't want to live with us? What if she doesn't want to get to know each other? I've waited so long to find her, and now I finally have her back. I can't lose her," Blaise explained sadly.
Pansy and Draco just looked at each other, not really knowing what to say. What can you say to someone who found their long-lost sister, only to find out that they tried to make her life a living hell ever since meeting her?
"Wait," Pansy piped up "You said in their pushing up Flutterby's, and they read their will. You only read someone's will if they're dead…" she stopped as the whole truth hit her.
Blaise looked up at them before looking back down.
"Yeah, he told us that her parents." he spat like it was poison in his mouth, "They died in a fire two days ago, and as much as it gives me great pleasure to know they are gone forever. It was horrible seeing the pained look on her face. Even though I didn't know at the time that she was my sister, it was still horrible to see her like that. It looked like she nearly died when she heard the news. I just know that I never want to see that type of pain on her face ever again."
"Well you can count on Draco and I to help you though this," Pansy told him resolutely, "Can't he Draco?" she asked looking him in the eye.
"Blaise, we've been best mates since day one and nothing will change that. As Pansy said, we will be here for you. No matter what," Draco said, as comforting as he could manage.
Blaise looked up at his friends with a smile on his face.
"Thanks guys."
The rest of the train ride was used to figure out ways he could make it up to his sister for all of the past wrongs he has dealt her.
Far too soon, the train pulled to a stop and jerked Hermione awake.
Wow, I can't believe I slept the entire way, she thought to herself.
She looked around the cabin and all eyes were on her.
"How are you feeling Hermione?" Ginny asked, concerned for her best friend.
"Like someone hit me over the head with a rock. However, enough talk about me, let's just get this over with," Hermione said, getting up.
"You sure about this, Hermione?" Ron asked worry etched in his features.
Hermione looked at him with a sad smile before answering him. "No, but I will be. So let's meet my new family," she said with a little laugh before walking out of the cabin.
As soon as she stepped off of the train, she saw that Blaise was waiting for her with Pansy and Draco. Blaise walked over to her, looking mildly apologetic. "Look I know we haven't gotten along in the past and I know that it's mostly - more like my entire - fault, but I do want to get to know you. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time and I would do anything to make it up to you," he explained, secretly hoping that maybe she would hear him out and that maybe, just maybe, he had a chance to get to know his sister.
Hermione looked up at him with a sad smile. "I can't promise you anything, Blaise. The past is hard to erase."
"I know, but I will make up for every horrible, terrible, and degrading thing that I have ever done, just give me the chance." he said with conviction in his voice.
Hermione looked at him and could tell he was truly serious and sincere.
"I hope so," she said with a small smile.
"So ready to meet your parents?" he asked, offering his arm, trying to show his chivalrous side.
"Yes," she said, taking his arm. She turned around and waved good-bye to her friends, letting Blaise lead her to their parents. She let him pull her through the crowds of parents reuniting with her children. Finally they stopped in front of a couple. The woman had very long black hair with striking sliver eyes. The man was tall, his hair cut short to his head and had dark brown eyes. She could tell that Blaise got his height and looks from his father, so that means she must look like their mother. Or that's what she assumed.
"Mother, Father I would like to introduce you to your daughter," Blaise said, gently pushing Hermione towards them.
Her mother let out a small cry before enveloping Hermione into a tight hug holding her as close to her as she could. "I've missed you so much Honey, You, have no idea how long I have waited for this day to come, I love you so much, we all do." She said as her husband, also wrapped his arm around his crying wife and his daughter.
Blaise watched as his father, he knew that he was trying to keep composure to the public eyes but he could see his eyes tearing up. 'Finally' he thought with a smile as he touched his father arm and he apparated them home 'Were complete.'
So what did you all think about this chapter.

PS. I was reminded by my beta that Blaise's mother was a black widow but in this story I want to give a more family feel to it so this is why he has his father.
