HELLOOOO and welcome to my new and first story: Hidden Secrets.

I'm feeling sentimental at the moment since I just watched Les Miserablés and cried my eyes out when the cute little boy died. Thanks for that.

Disclaimer: I'm blond but not J.K. Rowling. I own nothing from the Harry Potter series. I wish I did, so hehe, if you didn't know anything for my birthday yet… *wink*

Since there are a few things my lovely readers cannot understand without some further explanation, I will mark those things with an asterix (*) The explanations will stand on the bottom of the story.

Chapter one: The twins from hell

The Nocte family was an old pureblood family from the Netherlands, they were cunning, clever and aristocratic.

Noctes always had ink black hair and blue eyes. Always.

They hated muggleborns and half-bloods. Just like everyone on the Nassau school for witchcraft and wizardry. No muggleborns of half-bloods were accepted there, even when you were a better wizard than Dumbledore. Automatically, the Nocte's attended the school. It was even tradition now. As soon as a new Nocte was born, he or she (preferably he) was registered as a new student in 10 years

Well, that was the Nocte family, cunning, clever and aristocratic.

That's why Sebastian and Sarah Nocte loved their son Lucas Nocte. He was everything a Nocte had to be.

That's why Sarah Nocte was disgusted by their twins Olivia and Ethan.

Because they were everything a Nocte wasn't supposed to be. They were loud, annoying and mischievous. The only thing that they had from the Nocte family was their appearances and their brains.

Other members of the Nocte family even thought that Sarah had cheated on Sebastian, since no other member of the Nocte family was loud, nor mischievous.

Sebastian Nocte however, had a soft spot for the rebellious twins. As much as he let his wife know that he despised their behavior, as much as he inwardly smiled when they pulled another prank on Lucas.

Poor Lucas was always the target for the twins to pull a prank on. Lucas was a perfect heir. A perfect Nocte. He graduated this year and was currently getting a job at the ministry and he didn't talk to muggles or other despising creatures. Enough reason for the twins to prank him.

The Nocte family was happy, even when the twins were doing weird stuff again.

But then the bomb exploded.

A letter came.

From the school.

And as soon as the twins saw it, they ran upstairs in the enormous manor to build a fort.

The letter opened.

"Esteemed Mister Nocte,

I am pained to inform you that your son and daughter are hereby removed from Nassau school for witchcraft and wizardry.

I am not sure if your children mentioned their newest prank they pulled on the last day of school. But I am sad to inform you that it was quite bad.

Our math teacher was swallowed by an elephant. It took us many days to get him out of the… canals. It is logical we remove them.

It was not the first time they did something like this. I hope you will punish them severely. They are a disgrace to the Nocte family.

Good luck with finding a new school for those two.

God bless you,

S. O. Poepbroek*"

That was when the twins needed their fort.

They went down as heroes.

Olivia looked up from the book she had been reading when Ethan walked into her room.

"Hullo sister o' mine." Ethan greeted casually, leaning against the bookshelf.

"Hello Ethannie" She greeted back, smirking to herself while watching the figure looking at her books.

"Don't call me that! It's not manly!" Ethan exclaimed, looking at her pointedly.

"Neither is the cracking in your voice." She replied, grinning as she watched the male copy of herself.

"My voice doesn't crack!" Ethan exclaimed, the crack in his voice proving his point wrong.

She laughed, placing her book away.

"What do you want? If it's trying to convince Lucas he has to buy a rubber crocodile again, I'm not in this time." She said, sitting on her bed.

"Dad's going to place us at Hogwarts." Ethan informed her, walking over to the cage of her guinea pig, Henk*.

"He talked to you? He stopped his never ending contest of ignoring us?" she asked, laying down on her bed.

"No, I overheard him talking to Lucy*" He replied.

"Lucy, always the sneak of the family. But I thought he was going to place us at Durmstang?" she asked, glancing up at her ceiling.

"Durmstang didn't accept us, thought we were 'a danger for the society'." Ethan said while petting Henk.

She snorted. "But then Dad would have asked Beauxbattons, right?" she replied, eyes never leaving the ceiling.

"They were actually afraid that we would do something to their precious horses. So dad asked Dumbledore and we got in." Ethan said while getting his hand pissed over by Henk. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeew."

"Isn't Dumbledore the one that stood in the Playboy?" she asked, laughing and sitting up to watch the show.

"I think so, maaaannnnnnnnn, that were some pictures. Remember Lucy's reaction?" Ethan asked while wiping the piss from Henk at the curtains.

She grinned when she saw Lucas' face before her, looking at the disturbing pictures of Dumbledore.

"You know what this means right?" Ethan asked.

"Bad luck, very bad luck. When Henk doesn't like you, you're damned." She replied honestly.

"Nooooo, I mean that we're on the bottom of the social platform again. We have to fight our way to the top with our team." Ethan replied, sitting next to her on the bed.

"I'm not letting Madam Purplefoot near Henk again, last time she almost raped him. But you're right. But it also means more people to keep our secret from…" She said while playing with her shirt.

"She was just desperate for love. Don't judge." Ethan replied, completely ignoring the secret thing.

Suddenly a house elf popped up. "It's dinner time" It said in a squeaky voice before disappearing with another 'pop'.

"Who's in the dining room first, doesn't have to flirt with the milkman for three days." Ethan said while sprinting out of the door.

"Fucking cheat." She murmured while running out of the door.

With loads of stumbling and tackling each other, they came down to the dining room in a tie.

"I won. No doubt about it." Ethan said while panting.

"Not true, you bastard." She replied, punching her brother on the shoulder while sitting in a chair in the big dining room.

"I guess Lucy has to flirt with him, then." Ethan said, shrugging.

"I am not going to flirt with anyone!" Lucas said angrily from the opposite side of the table.

"Yes you are, with the Milkman. You know, the one with the sexy beard?" She asked.

Their conversation was cut off by her mother and father walking into the room. Talking about Hogwarts.

"Mud- and half-bloods. Isn't there any other school?" Sarah asked.

"No, just be happy they are accepted by that school. Otherwise they had to go to Germany, you know that school. The only pureblood there is the muggle studies teacher. Disgrace." Sebastian answered.

"What's all the fuss about?" She asked while the food appeared on the table.

Her mother just huffed and looked away while muttering something about disgrace for the family.

"You and your brother are going to Hogwarts." Sebastian replied stiffly.

"Really? But the new term starts in about four days!" Ethan said.

"We already got your supplies, don't bother. This is your last chance on a good education. Please don't ruin it." Sarah replied, finally looking her children in the eyes.

"But like on Hogwarts there aren't things like math, English or gym, how are they supposed to do those subjects?" Lucas asked while cutting his meat neatly.

"Yes. We have extra books for all the other subjects. I presume you will keep that subjects up. And as for gym, just train extra beside your normal training schedule." Sebastian replied.

"But that are like eight subjects! Are we supposed to do French, Latin and Dutch too?" She asked, pouting.

"Yes. Besides your normal studies on Hogwarts you will get private lessons once a week to check your homework on Geology, History, Math, Dutch, Latin, French, English and Biology. Plus your… training." Sebastian stated firmly.

"Awh man, is it much?" Ethan asked, wearing the same pout as his sister.

"Normal amount. It is important that you follow those lessons. You will have a private chamber, by the way, so you will not be disturbed by other people." Sarah said, eating her salad.

"Awesome. We will not ruin it this time… well, at least not we're going to try…" Ethan said and she nodded too.

"Father, have you got any news from Willy lately?" Lucas asked.

Willy was a weird guy. Their father had made a deal with him so he could get muggle electronics from the future. Because as much as Sebastian Nocte hated muggles, he loved their technology. That's why the Nocte children listened to all sorts of music and had IPhones. Not that they cared much. Internet wasn't there yet, but they could listen to the music they liked and talk to the people they loved.

"Yes, some new muggle movies and new games." Sebastian replied.

"Have you got the new Les Miserablés?" She asked eagerly.

"Yes I have. And a whole bunch of other stuff for that matter." Sebastian replied. "But you will only get them if you promise to behave."

The twins looked at Sebastian with big blue eyes and nodded.

And then dinner was over.

The new things stood in a little room on the second floor of the room. And the twins, bursting with energy, were bouncing as they were walking with their father, eager to see the new things.

"Well, let me see, two new IPhones, Les Miserablés, the Hobbit and some books. Here you go kids." Sebastian said while handing out the stuff.

"Thanks father." The twins chorused as the headed to their rooms.

1 September 1974

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we ther-"

"No, as I have been saying the last hour, we AREN'T there yet." The chauffeur of the limo yelled.

"No need to be mad, we were just asking, you know." Ethan replied, trying to hide his grin.

"Do you have your staff?" Olivia asked as she was looking out of the window and making funny faces to the people outside.

"Yeah, in my trunk." Ethan said absentmindedly.

She nodded, sighing.

"Are we there yet?"

Pffff… that was the first chapter/ prologue.

Hope you enjoyed.

*Poepbroek: Heheehehehe… It means shitpants.

*Henk: Dutch name… typical if you ask me.

*Lucy: Lucas' nickname.

I know you want to see the Playboy pictures of Dumbledore. But I'll keep them to myself if you don't mind.
