James Potter and Lily Potter looked down, with love filled eyes, on their little twins. Both black haired and mostly looked like James all the way. Kinda as if they were carbon copies, Lily chuckled a bit to herself. Though one of the boys had emerald green eyes and the other must have gotten her grandfather's dark blue eyes. She at least hoped they weren't too much like their father, such a mess they would make. They named them Hadrian James Potter née Evans and Hayden Sirius Potter née Evans. All so suddenly their wards alarm goes off and the door exploded off its hinges. "Lily take the boys upstairs quick!" It all happens so fast, she gathered them quickly and ran upstairs. This would happen someday but now was way too early. She laid them in the crib and mumbled a quick spell to protect her children which in price required someone's life willingly and that she would give. Lily begged Voldemort not kill her children and but her instead, not that he would succeed in killing them. The dark lord, on a dark Halloween night, vanished as if he never was there. No one would have known if it wasn't for the raging fire and crying hiccups. The same night after the murder and Lily's sacrifice, a black greasy haired man, with billowing black cape, came running in and fell to his knees soon seen hugging the dead body of the red-haired woman he loved. Even later in the night, an old man with long beard and a half-giant picked the boys up. This old man wondered who was the one who defeated and is suppose to defeat Voldemort. He did an old spell to see whose one had the largest magical signature but it was unfortunately pretty much the same amount. He, to his own fortune, found out that Lily had used an old spell out of love and sacrifice, and he used that excuse to send them to the Dursley, Lily's relative.
The twins grew up together by the Dursley who took them so generously. Hayden turned into the protective brother role between the two. He seems to have natural skills in making great food and apparently also has the biggest appetite out of them all. Then Hayden was barely 8 he started to sneak off in the night and work with cleaning, god knows where. He brought food for both of them, mostly just for Hadrian or Hari as he called him. He did most of the chores they got listed every day by Vernon and Petunia. All in all most things were good for Hadrian at least, space may be a little cramble but they managed. What worried Hari was every time he saw the dark blue eyes look at uncle Vernon with a dead blank stare. Dead stare as in absolute no shine in them, as if the eyes had seen too much horror already. After beatings Hayden would go emotionless for a minute or two, showing off his dead eyes, Vernon hates when Hayden got like that and soon mostly stopped even coming near him. Hari could clearly see how it was getting worse by every day that went out of the window. Around 11 years old Hayden often had a periodic emotionless moment, he always told Hari not to worry. Surprise, confusion and happiness were a major on their 11th birthday, they got their Hogwarts letter. Hayden had to hide them which confused Hari but he just put a finger to his lips signalling silence. When it finally was time to turn in bed for the night Hayden and Hari read their letters and found out their wizarding heritage. Hayden couldn't decide if this was a joke or not but it sure would explain the strange going on with them sometime. In the night he sneaked out of the cupboard and got some paper to write to this McGonagall.
~Dear Headmistress. We have no idea about the wizarding world and would like some assistance. If so, could we please meet at (some random place with a park)~
Hayden yelped in surprise as the letter disappeared from his hand. He shook his head and crawled back into the cupboard. The very next day had they had gotten a reply, reading it in the night. The twins, 3 days later, meet up with this witch hand in hand and follow. They got to know about the wizarding world. Hayden and Hadrian were furious when they got know all the things they were supposed to know, also the fact they could have been with another family. "Hari we should reveal it to our uncle and aunt then we get home, they can't say any against it." Hayden wasn't sure why he believe in that but it seemed like that by already knowing about the wizarding world made them unstoppable from going to the school. The black haired pairs bought a snow white owl and a black cat with purple eyes as pets. They went to get their wands by Ollivander's (as neither Hadrian or Hayden have a scar as connection, Horcrux, neither will own the wand Harry original pursue) Hari picked as wand made of willow wood with Phoenix tear as the core, (or the wand pick him) meanwhile Hayden got catalpa wood with thestral heartstring.
"How are we suppose to find perron 9 ¾ there isn't anything named perron 9 ¾ anywhere," Hari complained but shut up as soon Hayden hushed at him. "Listen." Hayden said and pointed in a random direction between perron 9 and 10. "This way!" A red-haired woman who looked out of the modern date. She ran with 5 redheaded children hot on the heels toward the pillar. She looked around before ushering her children into the pillar and to their surprise, they got through the brick pillar. "I guess we found our way?" Hari said gulping and Hayden nodded, dryly replied. "Yeah, we did." They got through the pillar, with next to no problem as Hari refused to go alone through it but they couldn't fit together with the carts. "Let's find an empty compartment shall we Onii-chan." It had become naturally for Hayden to call Hadrian Onii-chan or Hari and soon Hari picked up after Hayden. "Yup." They nearly ran in excitement to find an empty compartment. "Think, we are away from that awful place for the most of the year," Hayden said thoughtfully, Hari nodded and sat comfortably on Hayden's lap and started to rest a little. He patted his younger brother's hair and just let him rest.
The door suddenly opened and Hari jumped awake by the rude sound. Hayden glared at whoever dared to disturb his brother like this. "Hi, can I sit here? Great thanks mate!" One of the redheads they saw before exclaimed before they even could say anything, not bothering to do anything about the rude boy, letting the redhead have a seat. "Hi, I'm Ron. Ronald Weasley." The boy introduced himself and looked kinda hopeful. "No one has yet asked you," Hayden replied before Hari could say anything and pet Hari's hair to make him relax again. He complied and leaned back and relaxed. Ron frowned and stared glom at him. It was lucky enough silence for the most of the ride. The train pulled up to the station at Hogsmeade. An excited Hayden ushered Hari to hurry up getting off the train. They soon heard someone yell 1st year. He tugged Hari to a boat and soon was joined by a blond boy and a dark-haired boy.
It was silence and they stood impatiently at the door to the Great Hall. "Onii-chan what if we don't get in the same house?" Hari whispered in a worried tone. He sighed. "Hari. I will follow you no matter what okay. I think you're the first one to go and I'll follow even if we are supposed to be at opposite houses." He took Hari's hand reassuringly they walked together toward the front where the teachers are all seated. Before they knew it Hari's name was called. "Potter, Hadrian!" Hari walked slowly up to the chair and placed the hat on his head. There was a long while before the hat finally shouted "Hufflepuff!" (because he lived another type of life and is not that brave, he feel guilty about Hayden taking all the abuse for him and stay very loyal to him.) Hari pulled himself into a chair and waited for his brother hoping he would keep his promises. "Potter, Hayden!" On cue, Hayden went up with confidence and placed the hat on his head. ^My, my what do we have here? Another complicated Potter but just even more complicated.^ 'what do you mean?' Hayden narrowed his eyes. ^You don't remember… now I could sort about anywhere by the look of your memories. Your loyalty stays very unbelievable strong with those who are near you. You are very sly and cunning, use all mean to get what you need. But that clever mind of yours could sort you in Ravenclaw. You have a very Brave side but not doing rash or stupid decision but clever and sly ones, so not Gryffindor.^ 'Hold on! I will be sorted the same as my brother no exception!' ^Are you sure Slytherin could help you on your way and Ravenclaw can give the give the acknowledge you need.^ 'I don't care, I promise I would stay by his side and I will not betray him now.' ^Alright it will be^ "Hufflepuff!" Hayden hurried to the chair and sat next to his brother, he took Hari's waiting hand and held it nearly like as if it were a lifeline. "After all I promised," Hayden whispered to himself, it sounded so much more meaningful and pained. Was the hat right? did he have more memories than he was supposed to have? Like past life? The rest got sorted, a black-haired boy named Neville was sorted in their house, a girl very obviously a Ravenclaw is sorted in Gryffindor, lastly one platinum blond got in Slytherin which was the same boy they sat together with on the boat. The students entered a staring contest as soon the food popped out from the free air on the table, Hayden truly made a show out of his black hole for a stomach, even Hari was staring at him. "Your stomach is a black void Onii-chan." Hari finally snapped out of it and chuckled. "Hmmm… At least I'm burning it off anyway." Hayden gave a smile and keep eating.
That year would be changed for some new.
It was known that Hari and Hayden slept in the same bed nearly never letting go of each other let alone left each other sides. They were always seen together and Hayden was very obviously the one they knew to be careful off since he definitely is the very protective one.
"Hey. I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy." The platinum blond Slytherin had one day decided to strike up a conversation. Hayden narrowed his eyes but let Hari take this conversation. "Uhm. Hi, I'm Hadrian, Hadrian Potter and this is my brother Hayden." Hari shy voice was barely heard. "You aren't truly a Hufflepuff, I've been watching for a short while and can tell that you don't even belong there, so I'm guessing you just wanted to be with your brother." The blond boy pointed at him. 'Oh how much I wanted to bite that finger' He thought sarcastically. "That's true but I'm one for keeping words." 'That annoying platinum blond hair and ice blue eyes remind me of November 11' He thought annoyed with an emotionless face. '… Wait… Who is November 11?' Hari stared at Hayden, it was clear he was gone again, though barely a few second later he was back Hari sighed in relief. Hayden's eyes nearly widen, he swore he had never heard of anyone named November 11 before. The annoying blonde boy keeps blabbering off. "If you stop try being your father I'm sure, I could find some alliance with you." He cut Draco off and pulled Hari to their next lesson with Ravenclaw. Draco stared flabbergasted after them but finally went to his own lesson flustered. "What was that Onii-chan?" Hari starred with curious eyes. "By his choice of words, he sounds like he is going to be his own father and not himself. He has a serious obsession with his father and forgetting that he is not his father but only himself." Hayden replied monotone. The teachers like usually tried to split them but with no such a success.
'It's getting worse, isn't it.' Hari thought and looked down with a slightly sad expression. Hayden had been staring at the mirror for around 6 minutes now. He was pretty much none responsive other than when Hari gave him a command to follow him or something else. 'It's like talking with someone who is dead or completely lost in their mind.' "Hayden follow me to breakfast down in the dining hall." There was a hidden plead in his tone, plead to wake up and come back. Hayden turned setting the dead blue eyes on him but followed no less. He held Hayden's hand to ensure nothing would happen and he still was there. He pulled his brother down in his seat and had to, sadly, order Hayden to eat something. "What's wrong with your brother?" A certain redhead spat as he stood behind the two Hufflepuff. "Nothing you should worry about," Hari mumbled and poked his food with a fork. The other Hufflepuff sensing a disturbing air around the Weasley and the twins jumped in to chase the boy off. "Ummm If I may ask? Is something wrong with Hayden?" "I don't know. This is rather usual but it does seem to get worse. It's like he is lost in his own mind and won't respond, other than when you give him a direct command. It worries me a little as it keeps getting longer." Hari worryingly explained. "Wait. Are you saying he has this often even in the past?" "Yeah." Hari nodded and got up from the table tucking his brother's sleeves.
Christmas came but the twins weren't able to buy anything as they had to save the money for food at the Dursley. For them, it was not a problem as they already had the best gifts anyway, of course, it was by sitting near the fire with hot cocoa beside each other. To their own surprise, they had gotten one gift from someone unknown, it was an invisible cloak.
"He is not himself," Hayden muttered and Hari starred with a question like expression. He took Hari's hand and they ventured to their common room. "Quirrell. He lies at nearly every word, it can be seen because he looks to the side without moving his head. He stutters but Neville stutters for real and Quirrell doesn't sound the slightest like Neville, lastly, he seems to be talking too much to himself." He explained and knocked on the painting of a tree. "You have?" Hayden nodded in to confirm. "I think we should go to the library to check out some stuff tonight. The room on the 3rd corridor is holding a dog as a guard to a trapdoor." Hadrian just nodded, sure he wasn't brave enough to go out in the middle of the night but with his brother, he could do just about anything. The clock hit 01:00 am Hayden and Hari sneaked out from the common room, under the invisible cloak, and made their way to the forbidden section, looking for Nicolas. Hell Hayden was even prepared with a spell to stop the book from reacting from being picked up without permission, but Hari didn't know that and opened a book. The book screamed and Hari jumped away in terror hitting the candlelight. Hayden grabbed Hari's wrist when he heard someone yelling and their footsteps, and ran for the first open door. They held their breath until the couldn't hear anyone. The footsteps passed and they let a relieved sigh pass their lips, panting a little. "You all right?" Hayden's concerned voice reached Hari's ears as two hands held Hari's cheeks in his hands. Hadrian nodded but pointed past his head behind him. He took a look and saw a plain boring mirror or that's what he would have thought until he saw himself, not alone. This wasn't him? it was a man who looked as if he could be an older version of himself.
The, what seems to be, older version of himself stared back at him, cold dark blue eyes. Slightly behind him was a girl with dark/black brown hair in a skintight suit, bright blue eyes but blood on her forehead made her look possible dead. She had a familiar appearance to the older one as if she was the sister of the man. The girl put her hand on his shoulder her face never changing, expressionless. Five more appeared, 2 girls and 2 boys/men, lastly a cat. One of the girls had white hair and pinkish iris, albino, she stared down at the ground but took his hand with an emotionless face, was it always like that? The other girl had fiery red hair and pale green eyes. She smiled wide at him as she held a younger boy's hand. This boy was just like the albino staring at nothing and completely emotionless. He had blond hair and grey eyes holding a bottle in his free hand. The man was the only old looking one with the face of slight sadness yet a smug smirk plastered on his face. He had brown hair and brown eyes. Lastly was the cat laying in front of them all staring with purple eyes. He looked at the suppose older version, he was wearing only black clothes. Black trousers, black shirt underneath a black coat and holding a white mask in the free hand as the albino girl was holding his right. 'What is this? Why does it seem so familiar?' Hayden snapped out of it by Hari now yelling at him to snap out of it. "I'm sorry." He nearly stumbled over his words. "Let's go and get some sleep ne?" He smiled at Hari. 'Where had he seen them before, why couldn't he damn remember!?' He wouldn't sleep well for a few nights.
Hayden knew he had been stupid when he could just have asked madam Pinche if she had any book on Nicholas Flamel. "Ummm Madam Pinche? Do you have anything on Nicholas Flamel?" She brought her sharp gaze on him but nodded no less, she went to some shelves to retrieve a book. "This does briefly mention the most important part of Nicholas." "Thank you so much, Madam!" She nodded going back to what she was previously doing. 'I'm truly stupid. Going to the forbidden section without asking Madam Pinche first if had a book.' Hayden shook his head of his stupidity. Opening the book and scanned the list of titles and stopped at Nicholas Flamel. 'Page 207' Flipping the pages over until he hit 207. "So he is an old man, around 500 hundred years old. Hmmm. Ah, he made the philosopher's stone, it's a wild but good guess of what is hidden on the 3rd floor. Thanks, Madam Pinche." He said shutting the book and put it on her desk. 'Now let's find Onii-chan.' He took a few shortcut to the Hufflepuff common room, going up the stairs toward their bedroom. "Hi, Hari. Wakey." Hayden muttered close to his brother's ear. Hari mumbled something unintelligible. "What." He rubbed his eyes tired. "Well, it's time to go for the three-headed dog Onii-chan." Hari nodded and pulled himself out from the bed slowly. "Slowpoke." The blue-eyed boy chuckled and tugged Hari with him as soon he got up from the bed, Hari yelped. "Hei!" Hari stumbled right into his back. "What's wrong?" The blank stare of the usual worryingly emotionless state. "Onii-chan?" He gulped. "No, it's fine to call me Hei." Hayden uttered, snapping out of it and continue tugging Hari along. "Where are we going Hei?" Emerald eyes peaked at him questionably. "I said we are going to the three-headed dog sleepy head." He snickered, Hadrian could be cute sometimes. He just wishes he could stop being so protective of him as to give him a little freedom.
The twins sneaked off to the 3 headed dog and down through the trapdoor. They landed on the somewhat soft ground only to realise it was plants. "Plants?" Hei muttered to himself, his head snapped up when he heard Hari shriek. 'It's wrapping around him! What is it? it seems painful.' He was getting a little hysteric. 'Devil snare!' "Hari! be still or it will kill you!" It didn't seem to reach him. 'No no no, sit still. He won't call down! Devil snare, how do you counter it.' A painful minute went by. 'Sunlight!' "Lumos Solem!" Bright light filled the room but a certain spot was exposed and the snare pulled away releasing Hadrian. He went down after Hari. 'I've noticed. The snare didn't touch me why?' They caught their breath. "Weird it completely ignored me." He mouthed his thoughts. "It did?" Hei nodded and stumbled onto his feets again. He soon clutched Hari's hand in his right and opened the door to the next challenge. "Promise me you listen to what I say next time okay." Hari nodded in promise. They found them self on a chessboard, which nearly killed them going through the game. They were lucky enough with the next one as it was a sleeping troll, sneaking past it and to the next door. A table with vials on it and a piece of paper. "A riddle, definitely Snape's work." Hari mumbled in sarcasm. "You don't say." Hei replied with fake shocked face and a hand to his heart. Hari laughed at his antic. The black haired pair read the riddle and by pure luck found the right one and took a snip of the vial going through the flames. Once again Hayden and Hadrian found them self in front of the mirror. The emerald-eyed saw himself with the philosopher's stone this time but Hei, on the other hand, saw the familiar brown haired girl once again. She held a round object which seems to belong to a telescope, she stood on her toes and whispered something in his ear while slipping the licence in his breast pocket. It was soon forgotten when Quirrell started demanding them to get the stone from the mirror. Hari looked in a split second in Hayden's eyes, Hei noticed the horror in his eyes.
Hei grabbed Hari's wrist and made a run for it but they were unfortunately stopped by fire surrounding them. Quirrell fired a killing curse at him but just as it hit him, he lit up like a morning star just with a blue aura instead. A spreading sapphire bubble absorbed them, everything was white for a moment. Suddenly everything changed to darkness like the night sky and stars appeared. The three shone bright and clear in the darkness. The twins starred at Quirrell as he turned into a child yelling "Look there is mommy! Thank you!" The childish voice echoed. "What? What do you mean?" Hayden was gobsmacked and confused "I never got to see mommy, dad would never let me." The mini Quirrell took the hand of the gentle black haired woman. Hayden felt the dread in his stomach. 'This has happened before. He just died.' He had no idea where the thoughts came from but it explained the dread. He hugged Hari close afraid he could lose him. The Stars and darkness faded and Hei fell unconscious, exhausted, and of course, Hari was worried. It wasn't long lived as a screaming ghost-like thing went straight through him.
In the afternoon Hayden woke up in a hospital bed ~Flashback~ Hei laid on a white chair like bed with monitors, everything was white way too white. He was asked to answer some questions. Hei did not always answer truthfully, but only when he could get away with it. His teammate had given him something to help him through the system. Stuck to his neck under the hair, had to be unnoticeable. Hei was starting to hate this but he pulled himself together and keep answering. ~End~ He wanted to get out of this bed for reasons. The dream, Memories? wasn't nice and creeped him out. He rose from his bed noticing his brother asleep beside him. He decided to pack the dream into a corner of his mind, slipping in the bed with his brother, hugging him close. The twins woke up by Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore standing by "their" bed, they were talking rather loudly. "Ah, I see you two are awake." Madam Pomfrey looked like she wanted nothing more than to strangle the old man. Hayden would do everything in the world to see that, he had bad feelings about this man and he swears he remember him from somewhere. Hari asked about the Philosopher's stone and got a blatant lie that Hei saw through. Later, on the same day, with a little more sleeping they were finally released from their bed and went to the "End of the school year celebration."
