Apples and Ravens

by AmazingGraceless

Ella and Jacen Emrys are twins with magical powers. When they come to Hogwarts, they find themselves amongst a sea of muggle-borns, more of which are popping up every year. The twins find themselves in a quest for ancient artifacts and begin to see the dead rise again. But what is the price that they will pay? Do the ends really justify the means? Sequel to Apples and Snakes.

1. Prologue

AN: Weclone to Book 2 of the Apples trilogy. For those of you who have just found this, this is the sequel to Apples and Snakes, a story about Alice Potter, the Angel with a Shotgun, the Girl-Who-Lived, aka Harry's twin. I really reccommend it, you're going to want to read it to understand the events they make a reference to.

For those returning from Apples and Snakes, welcome back. I hope you'll enjoy Ella and Jacen just as much as you did Alice. Don't worry, she'll have a few chapters from her perspective- after all, big things are happening in the magical world.

Everyone expected great things from us, even when we were small. After all, Mum was the Angel with a Shotgun, the Savior of the Wizarding World, the Head Auror, Heiress of Slytherin, and the most powerful witch in the world. Daddy was Voldemort's apprentice, as well as Mum, and he was responsible for huge attacks on muggles, robbing Gringotts, and was known to be the most powerful wizard alive. Uncle Harry was the Chosen One, the Boy-Who-Lived, the Horcrux Hunter. We were related to the Weasley family, which was full of powerful witches and wizards on our side.

We came from a powerful, influential family, so everyone thought that we'd be powerful and great witches and wizards someday.

They weren't wrong

Thanks, Jay. As I was saying, there were a lot of expectations. I wonder if maybe that's why things went the way they did. Especially with Jacen.

Hey!

Maybe, just maybe, if there had been a little less pressure on us, the Golden Wonder-Twins, I wouldn't be feeling this guilt and devastation tonight. I wouldn't be all alone, and I wouldn't have this emptiness.

Depending on one person for greatness... It's lonely. Am I sure that I want that? No. Is it the only path I have? Yes, essentially. I just hope that it won't all fall apart like I sense it will. The scales are about to tip against our parents, and I don't think that things are going for the better.

So basically, we're screwed.

Pretty much.

Good to know.

Read my story- I mean our story, Jacen, and take it with caution. We're all going to Hell anyway.
