The Zabini Twins

Chapter 1 - The Letter

Hermione and Blaise's New York House

Hermione's POV

The start of my Sunday morning begins when I hear a loud 'Bang'. I get out of bed and rush outside to find my brother trying to cook us breakfast. I let out a small chuckle and say "Morning Marcus" and he says

"Good Morning Freya, didn't wake you did I? "

"Oh no, the loud band of the egg falling on the floor did" I reply sarcastically, he scoffs at my answer.

"Why don't you sit down and I'll cook us some eggs" I say.

After breakfast I get dressed and that's when the Tiger Patronus (she insists it's a tigress but I don't see the difference) of my boss Natasha Ward comes into my room and says "Meet me at the prescient at once" which basically means that an important case came up (I'm a detective you see) so I'm gonna have to go to work.

Blaise's POV 

After breakfast I put a spell on the dishes to clean themselves and I see Freya heading out all dressed up "Where are you going?" I ask her

"Work" she says

"Today's a Sunday"

"Yes, I'm well aware of that, an important case has come up and I am already late so see you in the evening"

"Ok love, stay safe" I give her a peck on the cheek and with a crack she's gone.

The prescient (Hermione's Office) in New York

Now you all must be wondering why is the MACUSA Investigation Department called the 'Prescient', well here at 'The Magical Congress of the United States of America' aka MACUSA they like to blend in with muggles or the No-Maj as they like to call them but I think I'll stick with muggles, we of course have put up barrier charms and protection spells to keep muggles away I mean we're not that stupid. Working here is a lot different than in London, Ah London I miss my home, with the Holidays approaching I miss the smell of cookies and shopping trips to Diagon ally and Hogsmeade to buy all the Christmas supplies and Dresses for the annual Christmas Ball. I wonder what my parents must be doing right now.

The Zabini Manor, London

The Same Day

"Is she going to be alright" asked Mr. Zabini

"Her condition is critical I'm so sorry sir she won't make it" said the healer

"Are you sure there is nothing we can do money is not an issue"

"Like I said her condition is critical she's got only a week to live, 2 if she is lucky."

"I'm sorry sir I tried my best" and with that the healer left.

Robert Zabini was really worried about his wives health he knelt next to her as she lay on her bed she said

"Don't be sad love no one lives forever, I just have one request I want to see them"

"Don't worry love I will write to Blaise today. Now I'll leave you to rest."

"Marcus what's wrong your scaring me you never act like this" says Hermione

"Papa sent this today"

"What is it"

"Just read it" says Blaise.

Hermione takes the letter and reads it aloud.

Dear Hermione and Blaise

You both know you mother has been sick but her condition has worsened since past month I tried all the treatment I could, spoke to a lot of healers it pains me to tell you that your mother has only a week to live, 2 if she is lucky. She says she would like to see you please come back home as soon as possible to get as much as time you can get with her I advice that you don't tell anyone about this till you are in London sorry that we didn't tell you this sooner.

Yours, Papa

Hermione felt as if her heart sank in a bottomless pit and she found herself crying in Blaise's arms.
