"We must tell them…"
"Now is not the time my son. Soon we will tell them soon."
Two figures stood in the library at Grimmauld place arguing in the dead of the night. They were arguing over a matter that had plagued Severus Snape since Natasha's death 12 years earlier.
"They are my responsibility Albus, Natasha was my best friend, and they deserve to know the truth about they're mother and each other…the twins will not forget for much longer."
"The memory charms that were placed on the twins were very powerful Severus. Not even the Dark Lord would be able to break them."
"Then you intend on using them as weapons…is there nothing I can do to stop you?"
"I will not order you to participate Severus, but what is done is done. The twins will be a force to be reckoned with and I intend to keep that force on the side of the light. I will do what it takes to make sure of that, they will serve the order or they will not be aloud to keep their powers."
"that I will not allow, their powers are their birthright left to them by Natasha and passed through the O'Grady line for generations…I'd like to see you even try to bind them, you may be powerful Albus but the twins will wield a power that not even you can comprehend"
"Is that a threat Severus?"
"Take it for what you will; I will protect my family, no matter the cost"
Severus stormed from the library, missing the girl standing in the alcove of the stairs. Hermione Granger had been on her way to the Library to retrieve a potions text when she heard the argument between the Headmaster and her Potions Professor. She waited to be sure the cost was clear and upon hearing her Professors door slam shut she made her way back up to her 4th floor room, she had managed to convince Mrs. Weasley that her own room would be beneficial to her and her studies.
Studies…right, more like now I can finally be free from Ginny and he annoying attitude…if only I could get away from the boys as easily…
"Oh Aria…I miss you!" Holding a photograph of Aria in one had Hermione fished her cell phone out of her pocket
"Aria? It's me…we have a problem"
"Hey Mia, what's wrong? Are those idiots bothering you again?"
"Always, but that's not the problem…I just over heard Dumbledore and Sev arguing…about us"
"That's nothing new Mia, they always argue about us"
"I know but this time was different…Dumbledore threatened to bind us if we didn't 'serve the light' as it were and Sev pretty much said he'd die before he'd let that happen… I think you and the guys need to come to Hogwarts this year…I think its time they knew…"
"You want to go public? Hey guys! Mia wants to go public! You in? (A chorus of hells ya and totally's could be heard in the background) well we're in Mi…are you 100% sure you want to do this?? Once it's out there's no going back"
"I'm sure Ari…Sev needs us…and I need you"
"Alright…we'll see you on September 1st"
"You know I love you right sis?"
"Not as much as I love you, goodnight Mia"
"Night Ari, see you in a couple of days!"
Mia hit end on her cell, everything was going to be different now, alliances were going to be tested and broken and new ones forged in there places…she should probably worn Sev and Draco she thought. Mia exited her room as quietly as she could in the old house and made her way down the hall to the Potions Professors door.
*knock, knock*
The door flew open in her face with the full force of her Professors furry behind it, but his face softened for a split second before the mask slipped back on.
"What do you want Miss Granger"
"Oh stop being so sour Sev, people are going to start to think you've got vinegar running through your veins" Mia pushed her way past him into he room and made herself comfortable on his bed.
"well don't just stand there, close the door and sit down already" Severus didn't know what to think…she wasn't supposed to know about the connection between them…let alone act as though she had known for a long time.
"You know…I mean you know who…"
"Yes we know who we are and who you are to us…and more importantly we know what Dumbledore plans to do with us and you if you get in his way"
"We?"
"(sigh) yes we, Aria and I have known who we are since we were 13, we received letters from mother on our birthday that year and they unlocked our memories and made it possible fore us to find each other…really I mean who were they kidding you can't separate twins like us and hope that you could hide it…we were bound to find each other eventually"
"Yes…I always knew you would but I didn't think it would be so soon…or rather so…I don't know so long ago…why didn't you tell me you knew?"
"Dumbledore…he's watching Aria and the boys very closely…and if he suspected that we knew he would have come after us…or you"
"So why are you telling me now?"
"I heard you in the library…we aren't going to let him bind us…we have a plan and to make it work Aria and the Boys are going to transfer to Hogwarts, I figured a heads up was the least I could do"
Severus had never been more confused in his life. Aria and the Boys? A heads up? What do they have planned?
"Well goodnight Sev! And remember, we know nothing!"
"I don't understand your leaving? But…"
"don't worry we can spend all the time together you want once Aria and the Boys get here, but right now I have to go owl Draco so he doesn't flip out before we get the chance to talk to him" and with that Mia slipped back into the hallway and into her room.
"Draco?! What does he have to do with anything?"
