Hey everyone, this is Chapter 4.

I hope that you all love it and please review! I love hearing your thoughts on everything.

I do not own Harry Potter or anything that has to deal with it. That thought makes me sad.

Finally Annalisa thought to herself as she could move her limbs without limitations once more. It took three days before she was able to move on her own and she hated that she couldn't really get out of bed for the last couple of days. Though it wasn't all bad, she guessed as she looked over at her sleeping brother.

He had spent every night in her bed with her just in case she needed to go to the bathroom or change (her clothes). He hadn't even left to hang out with any of his friends for the past few days just so he could be there for her.

In that time, she was able to get to know him and her parents on a more personal level. And as much as she didn't want to admit it, she was starting to like them. They treated her like a princess and put up with all of the crap she put them through during her first day here.

She started to understand Blaise much more and she could tell that he was truly happy to have her back; he was trying his hardest to get her to like him. She still couldn't wrap her head around all of this, she had a whole new family and an older brother like she always wanted, but she still couldn't understand why her 'parents' took her away from these people.

She also couldn't believe that she was an only 16. She liked being 17. Now she had to be 16 for another year and she hated even thinking about it.

She looked over at her clock and saw that it was already 10:00am. Wow, and he is still asleep. I should be nice and let him continue sleeping, but I don't really want to. She smirked to herself as she pounced on him and rolled them off the bed.`

"Bloody hell, Lisa," Blaise said as he hit the ground. "What was that for?"

Annalisa got up and brushed herself off. "I didn't mean to roll us off, but when I landed, you rolled. So really it's your fault that we're on the ground," she said, hoping that he would fall for it.

"No, don't you even try that on me," he said, not believing her for a second. "So why did you wake me up at this ungodly hour?" he asked.

Annalisa's smile grew as he reminded her why she woke him up in the first place. "Well, I can finally move on my own, my body feels so much better," she said with a smile. "And after three days, I can finally see what I look like!" Going over to her vanity, she took off the covering she had her family placed to cover her face.

She gasped at herself. She was H.O.T. HOT. Her hair was jet black, long, and silky, stopping down to her mid-back. He breasts grew about two sizes; she looked to be a small D cup. Her skin was no longer a sickly pale but was now a beautiful tan bronze. Her lips were full, her eyes a light, beautiful hazel.

"Wow," was all she could say.

"Is that really all you can say?" Blaise remarked, coming up behind her.

Annalisa looked between herself and Blaise, noticing the similarities and differences they had. She had her mother's hair while Blaise had their fathers'. They had the same eyes, but hers where a little lighter. While Blaise got their fathers' height, she was still small with her height of 5'5. They had the same skin color and if anyone saw them together they would be able to tell that they were related.

"Well, 'wow' seems to sum it up perfectly," she retorted snarkily, turning in the mirror to get a full look of herself at different angles. "Ohhh! I have a cute booty," she said, looking at her butt and noticing how round it had become.

"Ughhh, I do not need to hear my little sister talking about how hot she is," Blaise groaned, covering his ears.

Annalisa just laughed at her brother before walking to the bathroom to take a shower. "Whatever. Now just be ready to watch the guys fall all over me," she said, shutting her door before he could reply.

The bathroom door snapped closed before Blaise had realized what she had said. 'Boys falling all over her.' Only over his dead body was any guy going to get anywhere near his sister. He just got her back and he would be damned if anyone took her way so quickly.

30 MINUTES LATER

Annalisa and Blaise walked into the kitchen together only to see their parents sitting at the table eating breakfast.

"Good morning Mother, Father," they said in unison.

"Good, you two are up; we need to talk to you two about something," Avania replied with a nod to acknowledge their greeting.

They each took a seat across from their parents.

"What is it?" Blaise asked as he took a piece of toast and began buttering it.

"Well, as you know, it's customary for each young witch or wizard to have their own coming-of-age party, but since Anna is back, how would you feel if the two of you shared a coming out party?"

Blaise looked at his parents and then Annalisa before he let a smile spread over his features.

"I love the idea." Blaise took a bite and chewed happily.

"Oh good, because we didn't want you to feel like we were taking anything from you," Blake mentioned after a quick sip of tea.

"No, I would like nothing more than to make Annalisa endure the wrath of our family. She can take them all away," Blaise said with a sly smile.

"Hey," Annalisa piped up as she realized what he was trying to do. "You can't do that, you're only agreeing to this because you don't want them to bother you!"

"The thought never crossed my mind, dearest sister," Blaise said, trying to put on an innocent face.

"Don't try to play coy with me, Blaise. You want me to take on our family all by myself."

"Having a feeling that they will surround you the instant you enter and refuse to leave you alone so that they can make up for lost time and they just so happen to leave alone in the process isn't such a bad thing. I am just trying to make sure you get time with our family of which I have had enough of. If you understand that as setting you up, then I would have to say yes, yes I am."

"Oh, don't you even try. You know you don't care about me 'making up for lost time'. You just want to be left alone so you can hang out with your friends," Annalisa replied, seeing straight through his ruse.

"Sorry sis, but I don't see the problem there. So anyway, Mother, what day did you want this to happen?" he asked, changing the subject as quickly as possible.

"The day after tomorrow. So we have only a little time to get ready. Right after breakfast your father and I will be in the ballroom getting everything ready. Annalisa you will find money on your dresser to go shopping today for whatever you like. Blaise, the same goes for you. But tomorrow, Blaise, you will be out getting dress robes with you father and Annalisa and I will be shopping for a gown."

"Alright," Annalisa said, "Am I allowed to invite some of my friends?" she asked hoping for an affirmative.

"Of course, dear." Avania said with a smile. She knew her daughter was bound to ask this and was prepared to make the process easy for her.

They all ate, and soon they were all off to get ready for the rest of the day.

Annalisa and Blaise walked out of the kitchen and up to their respective rooms. Blaise followed Annalisa into her room without invitation.

"So what are you going to do today?" he asked.

"Well, I was considering owling Ginny, Harry, and Ron to see if they wanted to meet in Diagon Alley. What about you?"

"I have plans to meet up with Draco and Pansy; I haven't hung out with them in a while."

"Well, how about we meet for a late lunch at that new Italian place around 2?" she asked.

"As much as I would love to have lunch with you, are you sure that's a good idea? I know your friends wouldn't really like to eat with us."

Annalisa thought about it before nodding. "They know what I'm going through and they'll just grin and bear it for me," she finished with a smile.

"Well ok, as long as you're sure," he said before heading to his room.

As he entered, he sat down to write a quick note to Draco and Pansy.

Draco,

I know that we haven't hung out with each other since we got back from school. How about we meet in one hour at Diagon Alley with Pansy outside of Flourish and Blotts?

Blaise

Blaise sent and identical letter to Pansy before he went to go get ready for the day.

WITH ANNALISA

Annalisa sat down at her desk and started to write to Harry, Ron, and Ginny. She knew that they were all at the Burrow, so she only needed to write one letter.

Harry, Ron, and Ginny,

I know it is terribly lazy to write all three of you at the same time, but the letter has to do with all of you. I have so much to tell you all, (so) I would like to meet you three outside of the ice cream parlor (in Diagon Alley) in about an hour so we can catch up.

With lots of love,

Hermione

She couldn't wait to see them; she had so much to talk about.

An Hour Later

Annalisa waited outside the ice cream shoppe for Ginny, Harry, and Ron. She was incredibly nervous about seeing them. She didn't know what would happen, but she hoped that everything would work out and they could move on.

As she looked out into the crowd and soon saw the red hair of Ginny and Ron. She watched them, along with Harry, walk towards the ice cream shop, then stop to look around for her.

She took a deep breath and started towards them.

"Hey guys," she said, coming to stop in front of them.

She saw the confused look on their faces before Ginny launched herself towards her best friend.

"Hermione! You look so… wow!" Ginny said as she pulled back and took a good look at her.

"Thanks Ginny. So what do you think guys?" Annalisa asked as she looked up at Harry and Ron with worry in her eyes.

"Wow, Hermione you look different," Ron started.

"Yea, really different," Harry finished.

"Yea, well, this is how I'm supposed to look and I kinda like it," Annalisa said twisting her fingers behind her back nervously.

"So how is it living with them?" Ginny asked.

"It's really nice, actually. And the day after tomorrow my parents are throwing a coming out party for me and I was hoping that maybe you guys might want to come?"

"Of course we'll be there," Ginny answered quickly clapping her hands together excitedly. "Oh this will be so much fun!"

"Why would you want to have a party celebrating the fact that you're living with that horrid family?" Ron rudely interrupted Ginny.

"Ron," Ginny scolded, shocked by her brother's behavior. He knew this was a difficult time for Hermione, so why was he being like this?

"No he's right," Harry said, effectively stopping Ginny from continuing her scolding. "We need to get Hermione out of there before they brainwash her anymore than they already have."

"Brainwash? You think they are brainwashing me? They're my family and they would never do something as horrid as that," she countered .

"How do you know that they actually are your family? This could be a huge plan to use you against us," Ron said, stubborn as ever.

"This is not some 'plan.' I was taken from them when I was a baby and now they have finally found me. They've been nothing but friendly and loving towards me. They only ask that I give them a chance. They have never once forced anything on me. I would hope that you could just be my friend and help me though this," Annalisa ranted, nearly crying due to the frustration that her friends were causing her.

"We are your friends, Hermione. You just need to do whatever we tell you so you can get though this our way. We know what's best for you right now: shutting off your brain and listening to us. We finally have eyes and ears on the Dark side. So just get the information that we need and then we can act like this never happened," Harry explained.

"Do what you say? I have my own mind and it's not just to do whatever you think is right. I know that they're good people and you two are complete arsehole not to support me. How dare you think that you can talk to me like this.

SLAP

Annalisa stood frozen. She could not believe Harry just slapped her.

"You need to listen to us Hermione," Ron started. "You work for us, and you do whatever we tell you to. You got it? That's how it's always been and that's how it will stay."

Annalisa felt the side of her face where Harry had slapped her. It still smarted. Thinking that she had no other option, she just turned and ran from them.

Ginny gave Harry and Ron a dirty look before she took off running after Hermione.

With Blaise

Blaise was standing with Pansy and Draco outside of the Flourish and Blotts when he saw his sister running back to the Floo point out of Diagon Alley.

Before he could stop her, he saw the Weaselette running after her. He quickly ran past Draco and caught Ginny by the arm and pulling her back to him.

"Mate, what's up?" Draco asked when he caught up, slightly shocked to see the strong grip he had on Ginny's arm.

Blaise ignored Draco question and looked down at the girl who was trying to get out of his hold.

"Why did I just see my sister running away crying?" Blaise growled out at her.

Ginny looked up at him. "I give you and Malfoy full permission to beat the snot out of my bother and Harry for sla….slapping Hermione," she said before wiggling out of his grip and running after her best friend.

Blaise stood there before taking in what Ginny just told him. 'For slapping Hermione.'

"He slapped my sister," Blaise said, rage already turning his vision red.

Draco couldn't believe what he heard. Potter and Weasel slapped Hermione.

'Oh, those two are about to get it good.'

Soooooo.
