"Yeah… I'll apply the dittany," Ginny said, after showing Hermione to her room. She quickly got into bed, careful of her feet, which still felt like they were burning
As Ginny was making her way to Hermione's room again, James woke up and had a tantrum. "Ginny, how about you take care of little James, I'll take care of Mia," Draco insisted, taking the dittany from Ginny
"Aw, Draco… alright…Just don't tell her anything… You shouldn't even be doing this she's going to think something is wrong… Oh, I feel so bad," Ginny started tearing up
"I know Ginny, I can't believe it… I should've done something about Astoria…" Draco said weakly, whispering, so Hermione wouldn't be able to listen in
"I know… it's not just you… We all found out afterwards, we should've taken it seriously… anyways go to Mione…" Ginny smiled at him

Draco took a deep breath and walked into Hermione's room. He took a seat beside her feet. As he gently lifted them into his lap, he gasped at the sight of her severely injured feet. He gently applied the medicine to her wounded feet. When Draco finished applying the medicine, she started tossing and turning. He shifted over to sitting beside her and softly moved her curly hair out of her face and off of her eyelids. She stirred in her sleep, whispered something to herself. Draco leaned into listen, to her murmurs, until she opened her eyes, slowly. Draco quickly, moved towards the window positioning him in a way that made it seem like he was fixing the drapes.
"Malfoy?" Hermione grumbled as she opened her eyes
"Yeah?" Draco asked, not turning around, to busy 'distracting' himself with the drapes
"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked, trying to sit up, but her body ached too much
"Do you need help getting up?" Draco asked turning around, as he heard Hermione groan
"No… Absolutely, not from you!" Hermione spat at him, as he moved forward, firmly taking hold of her shoulders
"Sorry…" Draco whispered, instantly lifting his hands from her shoulders
Hermione glared at him, as Draco left the room. "Wait…" Hermione called suddenly remembering something
"Yes?" Draco asked, frustrated
"Never mind… but can you get Ginny?" Hermione asked, quietly
Draco left the room without another word and told Ginny, Hermione was calling for her. Ginny gave James to Draco and ran to Hermione.
"Yes, Mione… What happened?"
"Ginny can you take me to the washroom?" Hermione asked tiredly
"Oh, of course…" Ginny smiled, helping her friend up
"Wow, this house feels so familiar to me… It feels like I've been here before…" Hermione said to herself, as Ginny took her to the washroom
Ginny smiled weakly, as Hermione spoke, upset about what her friend had been through. Before Hermione walked into the washroom, she turned around and asked her friends something. "Ginny… why are you friends with Malfoy? Why are Harry and Ron civil with him?" Hermione asked curiously, with an obvious irritation in her tone
"Hermione, why don't you believe us, when I tell you Draco and Blaise have changed…?" Ginny asked her friend, softly
"Because, it's Malfoy… They are Slytherins… and speaking of which… Ginny, I had a dream… About me being Zabini's sister…" Hermione mumbled
"What?" Ginny asked hesitantly, not believing he actually heard Hermione correctly
"I said, I had a dream I was Blaise Zabini's sister… and that my skin was a tad bit tanner as well, and I was taller… It was a weird dream…" Hermione shook her head, after walking back into washroom to wash her face, until a scream was heard
Ginny looked at her friend, knowing she just had a rude awakening. She's probably going to realize now that the dream was real… "Hermione…?" Ginny called out
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?" Hermione shouted, "I LOOK LIKE… THE GIRL IN MY DREAM!"
Ginny looked at her friend, in silence, not uttering a single word. "Ginny, answer me! Why do I look different? Wait… does this mean… I am Zabini's sister… twin sister…" Hermione asked moving closer to her friend, flinching with pain, as she took every step
"Yes… Mione… we didn't want to tell you just yet… We didn't want to depress you or anything… I'm sorry, but the memory came on its own accord right… so you now you know that you're Blaise's sister…" Ginny explained to her friend slowly
Hermione listened to her friend intently. She took a deep breath and just screamed. "What happened?" Draco called out running towards the two girls, passing James to Harry
"Yeah what happened?" Blaise grumbled
"She just had a memory… of something…" Ginny said, trying not to repeat what she told Hermione
"What?" Draco asked quietly
"It was about Blaise and her being brother and sister…" Ginny's words drifted away
"How did she remember?" Blaise asked, suddenly, going back to his normal voice
"She had a dream of it… and then she saw her appearance, remember it changed…?"
"Oh… Hermione, are you disappointed…?" Blaise asked with a hint of sadness in his voice
Hermione looked at Blaise who was watching her so intently and then looked at Draco. He was looking at her, with a sadness and anger in his eyes. She was confused so much, and she didn't know what to do. She hugged her brother and embraced him. "Blaise, I don't remember much, but I don't know why I feel a connection towards you…" Hermione smiled
James started crying again, as everyone started talking. "Oh shoot, Draco can you put him to sleep again?" Harry mumbled
"Of course!" Draco smirked, "You're son likes me better, Potter!"
"No chance, he probably just knows you're going to spoil him, Malfoy," Harry grinned,
Hermione watched the exchange intently, she was curious about how Harry and Draco had became friends but for now she left the topic alone. "Well, I'm going to go to bed… hopefully, I'll remember more stuff," Hermione said, leaving with Ginny
