So, I was planning on introducing Draco to the story in this chapter, but I had a few things that I needed to go through first and then the chapter was just way too long, so I had to save Draco for the next chapter.
Also, I know absolutely nothing about British anything. If the characters’ actions or words seem too American, I apologize. I’m workin’ with what I know! :)
On with the show...
~~~
After the Zabinis left, Lewis took his girls out to dinner. Hermione was very quiet during the first half of the meal and her mom couldn’t take the silence anymore.
She set her fork down, “Hermione, what’s wrong darling? Do you not want to spend time with the Zabinis?”
“No, I do; I do very badly actually. I’m so excited to get to know their world...my world. It’s just-”
“What, darling?” her mom pushed.
“I feel like I’m betraying and abandoning you.” Hermione whispered as a single tear slid down her cheek.
Her parents laughed softly, “Hermione, you are most certainly not betraying us. This is who you truly are, my love.” her dad said.
Her mom put her hand on Hermione’s arm, “Do you plan on writing to us while you are at school?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Do you plan on spending at least some of your winter break with us?”
“Yes, I couldn’t get through the holidays without you.”
“Ok, and after graduation, do you still plan on coming around and seeing us once in a while?”
Hermione gave her mom an exasperated sigh, “What kind of a question is that? Of course I do!”
“Well, then you aren’t abandoning us either. Abandonment would imply that you had no intention of acknowledging us ever again and that’s clearly not the case.” Her mom smiled.
Her dad called the waiter over and ordered Hermione’s favorite dessert, “Now, enough of this sadness. You have so much to be excited about, sweetheart.”
“Yes, we insist that you go have a great time with the Zabinis. They are genuinely good people and you have a twin brother!” Her mom squealed.
Hermione immediately perked up and grinned, “I know; I can’t believe it! At school I always associated him as ‘the enemy’ because he is in Slytherin House and they’ve always been horrible to Gryffindor House. Well, I don’t recall Blaise ever being one of the horrible ones, which is a good thing. I wonder if I would have been sorted into Slytherin if I had been a Zabini my first year. Well, if I had been, I wouldn’t have all the amazing friends that I have. So, I guess it all worked out for the best. I mean, I wouldn’t have you guys.”
“You will always have us, Hermione; No matter what.” Her father said.
Hermione smiled and they all dug into dessert.
~~~
Hermione had finally finished packing everything and she put it all on her bed and then shrunk it all down so that it would fit into her bag. Crookshanks was sitting on her pillow and she walked over and scratched his head and told him that she’d see him on Sunday, then she grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. Her parents were in the living room and they came over and hugged her fiercely.
“We will see you at the station on Sunday when we drop off Crook and to see you off of course!” Liz said.
“Remember Hermione, this is your life now; don’t be afraid to live it.” Lewis said as he gave her one more hug.
“I won’t.” Hermione sniffled. “See you on Sunday!”
She gave them one last wave, concentrated on her destination and then vanished with a ‘POP!’ When she landed at her destination, Hermione turned around and gasped at the gorgeous house before her. It was a two story mansion with white bricks, pillars, a large white fountain that sat in the middle of a circular drive way, and beautiful, lush landscaping. She walked up to the door and saw that it had be at least two stories high. When she rang the doorbell, even the chime sounded elegant.
After a few moments, the door opened and Rachel greeted her with a big smile, “Hi; come in, come in!”
Hermione stepped inside and was in awe of her surroundings; the interior was Victorian Gothic with beautiful dark woods and furnishings. From what she could see, there was a large dining room to the left, a family room to the right and a dual staircase that was the centerpiece of the incredible foyer.
“You’re home is so beautiful!” Hermione breathed.
“Thank you, darling. I absolutely loved decorating it!”
“You have amazing taste.”
Rachel beamed and Hermione saw Blaise sauntering down the stairs, “She redecorates every few years. Every time, it feels like we are in a new house.”
“It’s good to change things up a bit, my dear. Things get so monotonous after awhile.” Rachel explained.
“Well, I absolutely love it.” Hermione smiled.
Hermione couldn’t help but sniff the air and Rachel smiled, “Double fudge chocolate chip cookies. I’m not much of a cook-”
Blaise snorted, “That’s an understatement, mother.”
Rachel glared at her son, “But, I love to bake.”
“She’s great at that. People are always begging her for the recipe for these cookie.”
“An insult mixed with a compliment; that’s my son.” Rachel sighed.
Hermione laughed, “Well, they smell amazing.”
“How are you, Hermione? Did you have a good talk with your parents?”
“Oh yes, they helped put my mind at ease with some things.”
“That’s great to hear! Well, let me show you around”
The kitchen timer went off, “Blaise, honey, will you go take the cookies out of the oven for me please?”
Blaise nodded and headed off towards the kitchen.
Rachel saw the quizzical look on Hermione’s face, “What is it, sweetie?”
“You don’t have house elves?”
“Oh, yes, we have two. I always let them leave at five; I hate working the poor dears too hard.”
“Wow, you really are my mom, aren’t you.” Hermione couldn’t help but start crying. Of course, this made Rachel start crying as well. They cried and hugged for what seemed like ages before Blaise came back.
“Everything alright?” He asked.
The girls broke apart and wiped their tears away.
“Yes, everything’s great.” Hermione smiled.
Rachel took Hermione’s hand, “Let’s have a tour, shall we? I’ll show you your room, also!”
Rachel dragged Hermione off and Blaise smiled as they disappeared out of sight.
~~~
After the full tour, Hermione, Blaise and Rachel were sitting in the kitchen and munching on the cookies.
Hermione was on her third one, “These are the best cookies I’ve ever had.”
“Told you.” Blaise said as he finished up his fourth.
“I don’t know you all stay so fit having these in your house.”
“Good genes; you have them too.” Blaise reached over and grabbed another cookie. He looked at his mom and saw her staring at him and Hermione with a strange look on her face, “What is it, mom?”
“You two are so beautiful” She smiled.
Hermione blushed and Blaise just grinned at her as if to say ‘I know.”
“I’m so sorry that you two had to live so much of your lives without each other. Twins have special bonds and it was taken away from you. Your father and I thought seriously about going into hiding so that you wouldn’t be separated.”
Blaise could see the anguish in his mom’s eyes and he put his hand on hers, “You did the right thing. You did the only thing that you knew for a fact would protect Hermione. Yeah, it sucks that I had to grow up without her, but she’s here now and that’s all that matters.”
“He’s absolutely right. You gave up everything to keep me safe and I will be eternally grateful to you for that. The past is the past and all we can do now is move forward. I’m looking forward to learn anything and everything there is to know about our family...mom.” Hermione thought for a moment before she said that last word. She didn’t want to feel like she was betraying anyone, but she also knew for a fact that Liz and Lewis would be ok with Hermione referring to her biological parents as ‘mom and dad.’
When Rachel heard Hermione call her ‘mom,’ she started crying again. Blaise patted her hand and then rolled his eyes, “She’s very emotional.” He said to Hermione.
Rachel looked at the clock and frowned, “It looks like your father is going to be having another late night.”
Hermione realized that she had absolutely no idea what Felix did for a living, “Where does he work?” She asked.
“He works at the Ministry in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes in the Obliviator Headquarters.”
“Oh wow; he’s an Obliviator?”
“Yes; one of the best.” Rachel said proudly.
“That’s so awesome.”
“It is, but the job calls for very odd hours sometimes.”
“I can imagine.” Hermione yawned and suddenly felt completely exhausted.
“Oh dear, you much be exhausted; you’ve had quite the day.” Rachel said.
Hermione laughed, “Yes, it has been very eventful. Would you mind if I called it a night?”
“Of course not! You go get some rest and we’ll see you in the morning.”
“Ok; goodnight.” She gave them a radiant smile and then headed off towards her bedroom.
Rachel turned to her son, “So, my love; how are you holding up?”
Blaise smiled, “I’m good, mom.”
“Are you really?”
“Yes, I swear.”
“And you’re ok with having a sister?”
“I really am. I feel...different when we are together. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like I feel whole. I never knew I wasn’t feeling whole until she came into my life. It’s weird though, because we go to school together and I never felt this way when I was around her then.”
“As I said earlier, twins have special bonds and it’s stronger among witches and wizards. The reason you never felt it before today is because of the charm that your father put on Hermione. It also had a special charm to actually break the bond between the two of you. We didn’t want to risk the chance of either one of you ever figuring things out. It broke my heart to do it, but-”
“It was for the best.”
“Yes; you are such a great kid.” Rachel squeezed his hand.
“How are you doing?” Blaise asked.
“I couldn’t be better. My family is whole again; the way it should have always been.”
“Well, it’s the way it’ll be from now on.”
Rachel yawned and Blaise did as well, “It really had been a long day. I think I’ll turn in too.”
“Ok, sweetheart.” Rachel got up and pulled Blaise off his stool and pulled him into a hug.
“Goodnight, mum.” Blaise kissed her cheek and headed off to his room.
Rachel wrapped the cookies up and put them in the fridge then she shut off the kitchen light and decided to call it a night as well. It had been the perfect end to an amazing day.
~~~
This chapter was petty much just to show that Hermione has accepted her new life, but that she will always want to be a part of her old life as well. I absolutely hate the stories where she totally disowns her adoptive parents. So not realistic.
Let me know what you think! :)
