*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(

Nicki and Sydney's mouths hung open in shock as they stared at the little creature bouncing up and down on the bed.

"Sydney and Nicole Potter!" it gasped once it noticed they had entered the room. "What an honor it is!"

Not quite sure what to do, Nicki reached for the closest object, which turned out to be her baseball bat, and gripped it in her hands. "Watch it, buddy! I hit four homeruns with this baby last season! Now, who and/or what are you and how do you know who we are?!" the brunette questioned threateningly.

"More importantly, how did you get in here?" Sydney asked more calmly.

"To answer the first question, Dobby, miss. Dobby the house elf," the little elf replied.

Nicki lowered her bat on to the floor and leaned on it as she grimaced and said, "Well, Dobby, don't mean to be rude here, but, uh, now is not the best time to have a house elf bouncing on our beds, or be in our bedroom."

"May I take your coats, Mr. and Mrs. Mason?" Dudley offered in a sickeningly-fake-polite tone. Nicki pointed to the inside of her mouth and made a gagging sound.

Sydney smacked her twin in the arm before she turned back to Dobby, whose head hung in sadness. She smiled and kindly apologized, "Don't worry about her, she tends to speak before she thinks. Now, is there a particular reason why you're here?"

"Oh yes, miss," said Dobby earnestly. "Dobby has come to tell you, misses...it is difficult, misses...Dobby wonders where to begin..."

Petunia's false laugh echoed up from the dining room, interrupting Dobby's stalling.

"Why don't you sit down, Dobby, so we can continue our conversation," Sydney insisted.

Dobby's already-huge eyes widened in horror at the invitation. "Sit down? Sit down?!" The elf started bawling at the top of his lungs. Sydney tried to calm him down, but he just kept bursting into even more tears.

"Oh great! Now you've made him cry! What did you say to him?!" Nicki scolded her sister.

Sydney returned the insult with a look of disbelief before she turned back to the traumatized house elf. "Dobby, I'm sorry! I never meant to offend you or anything."

"Offend Dobby?!" he choked out. "Dobby has heard of your greatness, misses, but Dobby has never been asked to sit down by a witch or wizard- like an equal!" He resumed his hiccoughing.

"Well then I guess you haven't met many decent magical people," Nicki shrugged, still leaning on her baseball bat.

"No, I haven't," Dobby admitted with a smile, but then he realized what he said, gasped in shock, and suddenly began to bang his head on the dresser in self-punishment. "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! Bad!"

The twins did their best to try and shush the elf, but some of the noise had already travelled downstairs.

"Dobby, why in the name of Merlin did you have to play drums on our dresser? With your head?!" Nicki asked exasperatedly.

"Dobby had to punish himself, miss. Dobby spoke ill of his family."

"Your family?" Sydney questioned.

"The wizard family Dobby serves, miss. House-elves are bound to serve one family forever. If they ever knew Dobby was here..." Dobby shuddered in fear. "But Dobby had to come. Dobby has to protect Sydney and Nicole Potter, to warn them. Sydney and Nicole Potter must not return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

"WHAT?!" the sisters exclaimed.

"Dobby, I think you hit your head one too many times," Nicki stated.

"We have to go back!" Sydney cried out. "The term starts on September 1st. I can't miss school! If I miss school, I'll never have an education! And if I don't have an education, I'll never have a career! And if I don't have a career, I'll end up selling fish and chips on the street!" Sydney started pouring tears too.

"There, there," Nicki comforted, patting her twin's back. "There's no need to worry. I've barely gotten an education and I'm doing fine."

Sydney looked at her sister and cried even harder.

"Okay, bad example," Nicki admitted. "But Dobby, we do have to go back to Hogwarts. It's the only place where we fit in. I'm tired of explaining to the muggle kids why Dudley had a pigtail for the first week of school."

"No, no, no! Sydney and Nicole Potter must stay where they are safe. They are too great, too good, to lose. If Sydney and Nicole Potter return to Hogwarts, they will be in mortal danger! There is a plot, misses. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts this year. Sydney and Nicole Potter must not put themselves in peril. They are far too important!"

"It's not Voldemort, is it?" Sydney inquired. Dobby cringed in terror at the name. "Sorry, You-Know-Who."

"Well if it was moldy-Voldy, Dumbledore would be able to stop him," Nicki assured the other two. "You know who Dumbledore is, right?"

"Of course. Everybody knows of the great Albus Dumbledore. But there are powers out there, powers that no decent man, not even-" Dobby froze when he realized he had said too much again. He hopped on to the nightstand and grabbed the lamp to hit himself in the head with it.

"Dobby! Dobby, stop!" Both twins tried to wrench the lamp out of his hands, but stopped when they heard the heavy footsteps of their uncle stomping up the stairs.

"Quick!" Sydney squeeled. The twins managed to grab hold of the lamp and shove Dobby in the closet just as the door opened to reveal a po'd hippo-man in a sweater vest. Nicki and Sydney grinned innocently as he whirled around to face them.

"What. Are. You. Doing?!" Uncle Vernon whisper yelled through clenched teeth. "You brats ruined the punchline of my Japanese golfer joke! One more sound, and you girls will wish you'd never been born!"

"Too late for that," Nicki mumbled to her twin. But she immediately regretted it when Vernon glared at her, causing the brunette to duck behind Sydney.

"One word!" he reminded them, leaving plenty of room for imagination.

Nicki moved back from behind her sister and groaned before she crossed her arms in frustration. "'You ruined the punchline of my Japanese golfer joke!'" the brunette mimicked in a baby tone. "Yeah well I've heard that joke and, trust me, I did the Mason's a favor."

"True dat," Sydney agreed, earning a surprised look from her sister for the street talk.

A shaking from behind the closet door interrupted the girls' contemplation.

"Oops. Sorry Dobby," Sydney apologized.

"Now do you see why we have to get the heck outta here?" Nicki whispered. "It's the only place where we have-"

"Or at least feel like we have-" Sydney added.

"Friends," the twins said at the same time.

"Friends who don't even write to Sydney and Nicole Potter," Dobby argued.

Nicki sighed and calmly replied, "Like I was telling my sister earlier, I'm sure that there's a perfectly..." The girl's expression froze as she turned her head toward Dobby, her tone entirely different as she uttered, "Tight-lipped-elf-who-knows-way-too-much-and-should-be-inside-a-cuckoo-clock say what?!" (AN leave a review if you get the reference in the quote)

"Have you been stopping our letters?!" Sydney questioned angrily.

"Dobby has them here, misses," the elf admitted, pulling a pile of envelopes out from under his, um, shirt. The twins recognized the handwriting of Justin, Ron, and even Hagrid. "Sydney and Nicole Potter mustn't be angry...Dobby hoped...if Sydney and Nicole Potter thought their friends had forgotten them...misses might not want to go back to school."

But the girls had stopped listening. "You go for the letters, I'll go for the head!" Nicki ordered. They both jumped at Dobby, but he managed to escape their grabs by hopping out of reach.

"Sydney and Nicole Potter will have them, if they give Dobby their word that they won't return to Hogwarts."

"No!" the sisters cried out at the same time.

"Now give us back the letters!" Sydney commanded.

"Then Sydney and Nicole Potter leave Dobby no choice," Dobby admitted in regret. He ran over to the door, flung it open, and hurried down the stairs. The twins looked at each other in panic and sprinted after the elf.

Dobby stopped right in front of the kitchen and Aunt Petunia's pudding caught his eye. Sydney recognized that mischevious twinkle (she had seen it in Nicki's eyes hundreds of times) and whispered, "Dobby! Get back here!"

Dobby shook his head in disobedience.

"Dobby, please!" Nicki begged.

"Sydney and Nicole Potter must promise not to return to school!" Dobby threatened.

"We-we can't! Hogwarts is our home," Sydney pleaded.

"Then Dobby must do it, misses, for Sydney and Nicole Potter's own good." The elf snapped his fingers and the pudding started floating mid-air over toward the guests in the living room.

The twins shoved the house-elf to the side and raced into the other room, trying to catch the dessert without drawing attention to themselves. Unfortunately, the way their hands were held made it look like they were controlling the magic. The Dursley's eyes widened as the pudding floated above the Mason's. Dobby smirked as he snapped his fingers again and the dessert dropped on Mrs. Mason's head.

"I'm so sorry," Uncle Vernon fake-cried. "It's my nieces! They're disturbed! Meeting strangers upsets them. It's why I kept them upstairs."

"Disturbed?!" Nicki exclaimed. "Why I outta-"

"Nick, look," Sydney interrupted, holding back her ticked off sister and pointing to the hallway. They both looked and saw Dobby snap his fingers one more time to fade away.

The Mason's left, the deal totally ruined, just before an owl flew in through the window with a letter from the Ministry of Magic. The letter claimed that a hover-charm was detected in the house and reminded them that underage magic was not allowed outside of school.

"You never told us you weren't allowed to use magic outside of school!" Vernon sneered.

"Slipped our minds?" Sydney tried to insist.

"Well from now on, you two are going to be locked in your room! And you're not going back to that school either! They'll expel you anyway if you try to magic yourself out!"

"I've never really been one to follow the rules, so don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow morning as fruit bats," Nicki lied with a Slytherin grin on her face.

*(*(

"You had to throw in the fruit bats thing," Sydney grumbled to her twin three days later.

Uncle Vernon had gotten so mad that he installed six locks on the girls' bedroom door and put bars over their window.

"I'm getting a flashback of my juvie days," Nicki complained.

Sydney frowned in confusion. "You've never been to juvie."

"Yeah, well, I've gotten pretty close." The brunette shuddered. "Kindergarten time-outs in the play-pen! The horror!"

"I know something even more horrifying," Sydney said.

"What? Voldemort? Malfoy? Snape in a dress?" Both girls shivered in terror at the last one.

"No, well, yes, all of the above. But I was thinking more of NOT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!" Sydney grabbed her sister's shoulders and shook them hard. "I need to go back to Hogwarts! Without homework, my life has no meaning!"

"Ok...looks like somebody poured an extra cup of crazy in her cereal this morning," Nicki replied as she gently pulled the blonde's arms off her shoulders.

Sydney took a deep breath to calm down. "Sorry."

"It's okay. Time in the slammer can do that to a twelve year old girl."

"We're not in jail, need I remind you."

"Then why do we have visitors outside our bars?" Nicki asked, pointing to the three redhead boys waving from a floating car outside.

"Ron! Fred! George!" Sydney cried out in joy.

"Aw man, I was hoping it was the pizza guy," Nicki fake-whined.

"Do you want us to break you out or what?!" Fred called out from the driver's seat of the car.

"Heck yes we want you to break us out!" Sydney shouted.

"Did I eat some crazy too or did my by-the-rules, goody-goody twin sister just suggest what I think she suggested?"

"She did," the Weasley boys all said at the same time.

"Weird..." Nicki said pensively while tapping her chin with her finger. "Now, back to the jailbreak."

"Wait, what about our wands and school supplies? They're still in the cabinet under the stairs," Sydney reminded them.

"Oh I can take care of that," Nicki answered. "Syd, can I borrow a hair pin?" Sydney furrowed her brow but handed the brunette a bobby pin. Nicki walked over to the bedroom door and, just like in the muggle movies, unlocked the door.

"Why didn't you do that hours ago?!" Sydney yelled.

"Maybe I was enjoying the quality sister time," Nicki said as she crossed her arms in unappreciation. The blonde glared at her. "Ok maybe I forgot I knew how to do that," she admitted.

The twins rushed down and unlocked the cupboard door to quietly retrieve their stuff.

The gingers hooked a rope to the bars, turned the car around, and pushed down on the accelerator. The bars snapped off and the girls rushed to load their belongings into the trunk. But, unfortunately, the noise was heard in the master bedroom. Vernon ran down the hall to the twins' room and pulled out a massive key-ring.

"POTTER!" they heard his voice echo from outside the door.

"Come on guys! Hurry up!" Ron called out from the passenger seat.

Nicki grabbed Hedwig's cage and passed the snowy owl to Ron and got in the car just as the bedroom door swung open. Vernon raced over, as fast as he could considering her was a fat man.

"Petunia, they're escaping!" he hollered to his wife who was standing right behind him, holding on to Dudley.

"Let go of me!" Sydney yelled as her uncle jerked on her leg, trying to pull her out of the car.

"Hands off my sister!" Nicki shouted, grabbing on to Vernon's hands and trying to rip them off Sydney's leg.

"Never! You two and that blasted pigeon aren't going anywhere!"

"Not if I have anything to say about it! Floor it, Fred!" the brunette ordered. The redhead twin nodded and pushed hard on the gas. Nicki swung her leg out and kicked up under Vernon's massive chin, the combination of the acceleration and the force of the kick causing the man to lose his grip on Sydney and fall out the two-story window into the bushes below.

Petunia shrieked and Dudley freaked out as they ran to the window to see Vernon lying flat down on the ground.

"VERNON!"

"DAD!"

Vernon managed to stand up but he stared after the flying car in total disbelief.

As Sydney and Nicki looked down at their uncle, they busted out laughing.

"I still can't believe you kicked Uncle Vernon square in the jaw!" Sydney exclaimed between giggles.

"I can't believe I didn't do that sooner! I've been wanting to knock him upside the head for years!" Nicki wheezed, out of breath from laughing for five minutes straight.

"Oh, by the way, Syd, Nick, happy birthday!" Ron said happily.

So, what'd ya think. As I'm finishing this, I'm on a plane from Denver to Atlanta, coming back from spring break. I had to pay $10 for an hour and a half of in-air wifi! How dumb is that?! But at least it gave me time to finish the chapter. See y'all as soon as possible. Don't forget to review!
