Chapter One

The Prophecy

Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore and his wife, Professor Minerva Anne McGonagall was sitting in the sitting room of his office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their new Divination teacher, Sybill Trelawney had given a prophecy that they were still talking about. As they sat there, Albus began to think about the prophecy in its entirety.

Flashback:

"Before the start of the new decade, two sets of extremely powerful, identical twins shall be born. One set shall be boys, who will be pureblood. The other set shall be girls, who will be half-blood. The four of them together shall be able to defeat great evil. They will have the gift of speaking through their thoughts to one another. All four shall be of the same house. They shall be born before the start of the new decade has even begun."

End Flashback

Albus and Minerva wondered who the parents of the two sets of twins would be. They knew that Arthur and Molly Weasley were trying to have another child, as they were hoping for a girl. They also knew that Robert and Rebecca Granger were trying to have children. They were the only two couples they knew of that were even trying to have children. Was it possible that these two couples would have the two sets of twins that were in the prophecy?

In reality, Albus could not wait until the two sets of twins were at Hogwarts, because he always had fun watching twins interact. It was as if every set of twins that Albus knew, was able to speak their own language. It made Albus wish that he had a twin brother or sister of his own. Minerva, on the other hand, was worried about what kind of evil the prophecy was saying that the two sets of twins would be able to defeat.

"Do you have any idea who the prophecy could be talking about, Albus?"

"I have an idea, Minerva."

"Who do you think it is talking about?"

"I think it is talking about the Weasleys and the Grangers."

"But, Robert and Rebecca have no children. Arthur and Molly have three boys, but there is at least one year in between each of them."

"I know that, Minerva. However, both couples are trying to have children, or in the Weasley's case, more children. Arthur and Molly have been hoping and praying for a little girl for as long as I can remember. Robert and Rebecca may have a baby before long. We never know what the future really holds, but whenever I try to figure out who the parents of the prophesized twins could be, I keep coming back to the Weasleys and the Grangers. I have a feeling they will be the ones."

"I do not know. However, whenever you have a hunch, it usually is correct. I guess we shall have to wait and see."

"Indeed, we shall."

"Well, I'd say let's call it a night. I have thought about that prophecy so much in the last twenty-four hours that my head is beginning to hurt. I may have to ask Severus to make me a pain-relieving potion."

"Why, my dear! Do you not trust me to make you a pain-relieving potion?"

"Normally, yes, Albus, I do. However, I want a very powerful one, and Severus is the potions master."

Albus childishly stuck his tongue out at her. This made her giggle like a young schoolgirl. They had been married for a little over half a century, and every now and then, they still acted as they did, when they first met. After Minerva had gotten a pain-relieving potion from Severus Snape, she and Albus retired to their bedchamber. After kissing each other good night, the couple went to sleep.

XOXO

The next morning, Albus was sitting at his desk, thinking again about the prophecy. He went over it again and again in his mind. He noticed that it hinted that the twin boys would be the soul mates of the twin girls, but it did not come out and say that in so many words. Therefore, he called for Sybill to come to his office. He placed his memory of the prophecy into his pensieve; because he knew Sybill would argue him up and down that, she did not say such a thing.

A short time later, he heard a knock on his door.

"Enter."

"You asked to see me, Headmaster?"

"Ah, Sybill. Thank you for arriving."

"It is no trouble, Headmaster."

"Sybill, do you remember making a prophecy about a week ago?"

"What about, Headmaster?"

"Two sets of extremely powerful, identical twins."

"No, Headmaster, I do not."

"That is alright. I have the memory of it in my pensieve, if you would like to view it."

"Yes, Headmaster, I would."

Albus waited for Trelawney to view the memory of the prophecy, before he said anything else. When she was finished, she sat in her seat, as if she was in shock. For she did not remember making such a prophecy.

"I do not know what to say, Headmaster. I do not know why I do not remember making that prophecy."

"Well, now, that is really too bad."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I was hoping you could give me some more information about the prophecy."

"What kind of information?"

"Did you notice that the prophecy hinted that the twin boys may be the soul mates of the twin girls?"

"Yes, Headmaster, I did."

"I was just wondering if the boys were the girls' soul mates, and what kind of evil they could defeat."

"I am sorry I have no answers for you, Headmaster."

"That is okay, Sybill. Thank you for coming."

"You are welcome."

With that, Trelawney left the Headmaster's office. Albus leaned back in his chair. He began to talk to his familiar, Fawkes the Phoenix.

"Well, Fawkes, I guess we will just have to watch for the twins, when they come. If they marry when they are old enough, then I guess they will be soul mates. I will also keep an eye out for any evil that may come for them. I hope it is nothing like the evil I had to defeat in my youth."

Fawkes began to trill a happy song. Albus smiled. He could always count on the Phoenix to make him feel better.

XOXO

Minerva was beginning to worry about Albus. He was letting this prophecy worry him to death. She knew he had spoken to Trelawney. She also knew that Trelawney had no information for the Headmaster. Whenever Albus set his mind to finding something out, she knew that there was no changing it.

She decided that she would figure out a way to find out who were expecting children by the end of 1979. She made a list of every couple she and Albus knew that was a part of the magical world. She changed into her Animagus form, a cat, and went to check on each of these couples. As it was the middle of 1978, she only had a little over a year to find out her information.

When she got to the Weasley's house, she found out that Molly had just given birth to identical twin boys on the first of April. She made a note of this when she could. The only thing she was not able to find out was who would have a set of twin girls. In 1979, she found out that the Patils and the Grangers both were expecting identical twin girls. She made a note of this.

As soon as she got back to Hogwarts, she went over her notes. She realized that the only set of twin boys that were born before the new decade was the Weasley twins. The problem that she had was both the Patil twins and the Granger twins were to be born before the new decade. She decided she would to see what house the girls were put in. She remembered that the prophecy said that both sets of the extremely powerful, identical twins would be in the same house.

She hoped the four of them would be in Gryffindor. Yes, she was selfish, but hey, she was quite competitive, especially against the other houses: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. She guessed she was also being selfish in hoping that the prophecy was talking about the Granger twins.

Minerva showed Albus her findings.

"So, I was right. It was talking about the Weasleys."

"Yes. You were right about that. However, both the Patil twins and the Granger twins were born before the new decade."

"Well, I guess with them, we will just have to see what houses they are in. If just one set is put in the same house as the Weasley twins, then we will know which set the prophecy is talking about."

"All of the Weasleys have been put into Gryffindor for centuries, as well as the Patils and the Grangers. So we may have a problem with finding out about the girl twins," said Minerva.

"When will the girls begin Hogwarts?"

"In September of 1991."

"And the boys?"

"In September of 1989, I think."

"Okay, I suppose we will have to just keep an eye out, and see what happens."

XOXO

Albus Dumbledore never thought he would live long enough to see so many powerful children in his lifetime. However, he had seen millions of powerful children come and go from Hogwarts. In fact, many of the professors that were on his staff, with the exception of Minerva, had been his students. He and Minerva had been in Hogwarts at the same time. She was only one year below him.

The two of them were so powerful during their years of school that the Headmaster of their time, had told them both to come back to be teachers. Minerva had always been gifted in Transfigurations, and Albus was gifted in Charms, so that was what they taught, when they became teachers.

When Headmaster Dippet thought he was ready, he made Albus the Deputy Headmaster. Albus was the Deputy Headmaster for about fifteen years, and then Dippet retired, making Albus the Headmaster.

Once Albus was the Headmaster, he made Minerva the Deputy Headmistress, as well as the Head of Gryffindor. Almost half a century later, this was still their positions, and it worked very well for them. They had married about five years after they graduated from Hogwarts. They had no children, but both of them agreed that their students were all the children they would ever need.

The Ministry of Magic tried many times to get Albus to be the Minister of Magic, but he always turned them down. He had no desire to be in charge of the entire magical world. In his opinion, it was hard enough to be in charge of a large number of students, let alone the entire Wizarding population.

XOXO

Minerva decided that maybe this new prophecy would be a good thing. If an evil witch or wizard did rise, then she could make Albus let the prophesized twins take care of it. That is, if the two sets of twins were as powerful as the prophecy said they would be. This made her wonder what powers other than telepathy they would have.

Telepathy, while a very rare gift, was not a powerful gift. All it meant was that the twins would be able to speak to each other non-verbally. No one would know when they were doing it. In some cases, Minerva heard about twins being able to talk to one another, while being great distances apart. This made her wonder if the prophesized twins would be able to do this.

It was something; she would have to watch for very carefully. If she had her way about it, she would have the prophesized twins in Gryffindor house. That way, she could learn about their abilities as they grew.

She hoped they came to Hogwarts very soon. She was getting anxious for them to be there. In her opinion, there would only great things to be expected from the prophesized twins. She knew that the twins would make many wondrous things happen, while they stayed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The only question she had was how much longer the Wizarding World would have to wait until the prophesized twins would begin to fulfill their destiny.

A.N.: Even though this is a Harry Potter story, it is more about the Weasley twins and Hermione Granger. You will notice that I will change many things in the Harry Potter world, to make it fit my story. I have a list that I will try to post on my bio page, so that my readers can find all of the changes. (Just for fun, I put the facts in alphabetical order. ) Just like the Harry Potter books, I will have seven 'books' for my story.
