I forgot this last chapter, but here is my DISCLAIMER! I own nothing, though I wish I did. I'm making no money off of this, it is for pure fun and for the enjoyment of others. Hope you enjoy this next chapter.
Last Chapter
"You both going to Hogwarts this year?" Draco questioned.
"Yeah, we'll see you on the train Draco." Rose said as Draco was called by his father too leave.
"Bye guys!" Draco waved.
"We will see you soon Draco." Rose whispered as Draco left.
At Malfoy Manor
Harry and Rose left Madam Malkin's in a much better mood than before. Rose was finally smiling and she couldn't wait for the school year to start. At Ollivander's both kids got their wands. Well, both had a custom wand made by Ollivander. None of the other wands fit to them.
Rose's wand was a multi wood with Beech, Blackthorn, Ebony, Elder, and Willow woods. The wand would prove to be powerful and loyal to its owner, and very hard to transfer. The wand also had multiple cores. Basilisk Venom and Blood, both Willingly Given to the young girl. The Venom would make Rose's magic potent and powerful. The blood would give her an edge in some healing, but her dueling would be much stronger. To go with those Rose had Phoenix Tears and Blood, also willingly given by a Black Royal Phoenix. The Phoenix Tears would add a major boost to Rose's magical healing and her resilience to evil spells. The Blood would expand her core and induce stronger magical effects when defending herself or those close to her. The wand was a first for sure.
Harry's wand was another protective wand, and also a multi wood and core wand. His wand consisted of Alder, Blackthorn, Cedar, and Willow woods. The Cedar wood would be especially dangerous if anyone tried to hurt those close to him and his younger sister. His cores consisted of Basilisk Venom, Phoenix Feathers from a White Royal, and a Dragon heart. As with Rose's wand the Basilisk Venom would make Harry's spells more powerful and potent. The feathers from a Royal white Phoenix would make Harry's healing spells stronger and also make his defensive spells slightly stronger. The Dragon heart paired with Harry's loyalty would make for one deadly pair when crossed. It also imbued Harry's wand with a self-preservation sense and if needed the wand would act on its own to protect its owner. The wand would also have one owner ever in its life.
The twins left Ollivander's very satisfied with the wands they now owned. Each were powerful in their own rights and together the twins set off down Diagon Alley.
"We have wands and robes. Now we need pets, and maybe just to go look around." Rose said as she wandered next to Harry.
"Let's go to pet shop first. Then the bookstore for a leisure book for each of us, then the Quidditch supply shop." Harry pondered.
"That's fine with me Brother." Rose agreed.
Rose and Harry entered the crowded pet shop and both were awed by the variety of pets. There were snakes, toads, owls, and many other birds. Crowds of kids were looking at all the pets in wonder, picking and choosing. Suddenly two bright balls of flames appeared over the heads of everyone. Shouts of surprise echoed around the shop. As the flames cleared gasps soon spread.
In the middle of the shop hovered two amazing Phoenixes. One was a bright white with dark blue highlights on its wing tips and talons. It's intelligent eyes were looking at Rose. Her bright green eyes met the dark blue ones. The second Phoenix was a brilliant black with bright silver and green tips on its wings and talons. It had green eyes that matched the twins eyes. Together the two majestic birds nodded and flew down onto a shoulder of each twin.
Along with the Phoenixes Harry and Rose each got an owl for school. Harry got a snowy owl which he named Hedwig. Rose had a black screech owl which she named Esmirelda. The twins smiled and carried their owls to the bookstore, Flourish and Blotts. Each twin found a book to read, Rose picked one on wizarding folk tales. Harry choose a book on Quidditch, of course.
After purchasing the two book the twins went to the Quidditch Supply Shop. Harry spent most of his time drooling over the newest broomstick, the Nimbus 2000. Rose watched him until she sighed and ordered two Nimbus 2000's and two care kits for the brooms. She walked up to Harry and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and saw the broomsticks in his sister's hand and almost squealed with joy.
"Rose, when did you get these?" Harry asked.
"Just now. We can practice for the rest of the summer." Rose said as she handed one to Harry.
"I think we are all set." Harry said. "Ready to go to Potter Manor?"
"Yeah, lets just hope we don't get seen." Rose muttered.
"Maybe we should return to the founders." Harry offered.
Both children were unaware of another walking up behind them.
"Hello again." Draco whispered into Rose's ear causing her to jump.
"Draco!" Rose squeaked.
"What is making you so down?" Draco asked concerned by Rose and Harry's faces.
"We have to go to Potter Manor," Rose started.
"But our parents don't believe us when we say we are their kids." Harry finished.
"Maybe you could stay at Malfoy Manor." Draco offered. "My father just can't know your last name."
Harry and Rose looked at each other having a silent conversation between them. It is better than having to hide at Potter Manor. Rose said with her eyes. Harry nodded and the twins turned back to Draco.
"We would be honored if you would allow us to stay at the home of the Noble and Ancient Malfoy's." Rose said regally.
"No need to be so formal." Draco laughed.
Harry and Rose finally relaxed and laughed along with Draco. Draco held up a finger and left to go talk to his father. Rose watched the blond boy walk away. Harry had gone back to admiring his new Nimbus broom. Rose smiled as Draco walked back over. The smile on his face was handsome and it made him transform from the severe and cold looking boy she had seen earlier that day, into a sweet and gentle boy who could cherish his loved ones.
"So?" Rose looked at the older boy hopefully.
"You can stay until school starts." Draco smiled at the happy girl.
"Thank you for letting us stay. It helps a lot." Rose breathed a sigh of relief.
"Any time." Draco held out his arm to the smaller girl.
Rose giggled and looped her arm through the offered hand and let herself be led out of the Quidditch store. Along the way she grabbed Harry and looped her other arm around his arm. Together the group of first years walked down the street Draco leading slightly as they went to meet up with his father. The children met up with Draco's father in the potion shop. Also there was James and Lily Potter, buying potion supplies while their son met up with Ronald Hadrian Weasley.
"If it isn't the famous parents of the Boy-Who-Lived." Lucius drawled blandly.
"Shove off it Malfoy." James growled.
"Father, I have brought my friends with me." Draco interrupted.
"Very well Draco. Good Day Mr. Potter." Lucius sneered as he walked away, Draco and his friends in tow.
Malfoy Manor
After a quick lunch at the Leaky Cauldron the kids had side-along apparated to the Malfoy Manor. Draco had shown Harry and Rose to their guest chambers and then the library. Rose had stopped there and decided to wander the library and see if there were any books she had not read. Draco and Harry had continued to the Quidditch Pitch where they were now flying against each other in a friendly one on one.
Rose found a book on the Dark Arts called, The Truth of the Dark Arts, and had curled up to read. The book explained how the Dark Arts were not actually that different from "Light Magic."
The Dark Arts a named as such due to their primary use in what is considered "Dark Magic." In truth there is not a single difference between Dark and Light Magic. Both can be used for defense and both can be used to cause harm.
When used properly Dark magic can be a strong opponent. The defense if done correctly can be one of the hardest to break through. A Dark Shield can be layered with other spells, such as a mirror spell which will launch an offensive spell back at the caster. The problem with layering spells on a shield is the magical drain. A witch or wizard must have a very large magical core to be able to sustain a layered shield for an extended period of time…
Rose placed a bookmark in the book and summoned a notebook to her. Opening the book to the first page, Rose summoned a quill and ink as well. Dipping the Quill in ink Rose started writing in a tidy scrawl.
Dark protection spells(Mixed)
Speculum tenebris protegens
Rose placed her notebook on a table next to her and picked up the book she was reading.
Wizards and witches who try to sustain a layered protection spell without a suitable magical core can risk magical exhaustion or serious injury to themselves. Protection spells can also be used in a basic form if fed by ones magical aura. A shield made by a magical aura is an extremely rare ability and can be highly dangerous to an untrained wizard or witch. The first and only known wizard to create an aura shield is Salazar Slytherin. Even for a wizard as great as the Slytherin House Founder it was a major drain upon his magical energy.
Other spells used in the protection of oneself that are considered dark is the use of an animal tongue. The most known animal tongue is Parseltongue. The snake speak when used can provide a spell with great power…
Again Rose put her book down and added another note to her started list.
Speculo
Protego
Obstructionum
Deflectere
Rose stopped as she heard the doors to the library open and two pairs of feet shuffled in. Closing her books Rose stood and faced the newcomers in the library. In the library stood Draco and Harry, both drenched with sweat, smiling without a care in the world. Draco found Rose first and stopped her where she stood.
"My father wanted me to tell you that dinner is ready." Draco laughed as Rose scrunched up her nose.
"You need to clean up before I will ever think of sitting down at a meal with you." Rose grumbled.
"We don't have time!" Draco argued.
"Fine, I'll do it for you." Rose said before she pulled out her new wand.
She pointed her wand at Draco whose face had gone to horror.
"Mundus!" Rose incanted.
Draco covered his face as he felt the spell wash over him. An instant later he stood, his robes were cleaned, his hair washed, his skin clear of sweat. Draco smiled as Rose pulled the same stunt on Harry before she turned back to the blond. Draco stopped smiling at Rose's face.
"Well?" Rose demanded. "Are we going or not?"
Draco blushed before he held out his arm for Rose. Rose took his arm and he led the way to the dining room, Harry trailing behind the couple. They entered to Lucius sitting at the head of the table, a stern look on his face. Draco gulped next to Rose as he led her to the seat next to his. Draco sat on the right of his father while Narcissa sat on his left. Rose took the seat next to Draco and Harry took the seat across from her and next to the Lady Malfoy. Lucius cleared his threat before he opened his mouth.
"I expect you three to be punctual and on time in the future." Lucius ground out.
"I'm truly sorry Lord Malfoy." Rose spoke up. "I believe this tardiness would be my fault."
At Lucius' raised eyebrow she continued "I told Draco that I would not sit at a meal if he and my brother stunk like sewer rats, though in a much nicer way."
"I see you have pureblood standards." Lucius commented.
"Yes. In that case I used a quick cleaning spell on these two so they were… bearable."
"Very well. In the future I expect Draco and your brother to clean up before meals as well." Lucius said looking pointedly at his son.
"Yes father."
"Yes Lord Malfoy."
The two aforementioned said together.
"Lucius dear, I do hope it is time to eat." Narcissa cut the silence that followed.
"We shall eat." Lucius waved a hand and House Elves popped in carrying trays of food.
"So, who exactly are you two?" Narcissa asked gentle.
"I'm Harrison James." Harry spoke.
"Is James your last name?" Lucius joined in.
"No." Rose spoke. "I guess you both deserve the truth."
Draco shot a panicked look at Rose. Harry just looked down and waited for Rose to continue.
"In truth, my full name is Annaliza Rose Potter. My brother is Harrison James Potter." Rose spoke softly
"I HAVE POTTERS IN MY HOUSE!" Lucius yelled in outrage.
"Father please! Listen to them!" Draco cried.
"Lucius you need to calm down and listen to the poor child." Narcissa demanded.
Lucius sighed and reigned in his rage and motioned for Rose to continue. Rose nodded slightly before she took a breath.
"We are Potters, but we are not recognized as such. We were forgotten by our own parents at the age of four. We were forgotten even before that, but we had our godfathers. Harry had Remus Jackson Lupin, and I had Sirius Peter Black." Rose shared their story and slowly the face of rage turned to pity.
"I-I don't even know what to say." Lucius gasped out.
"I say that you two will be welcome at the Malfoy Manor any time you would like." Narcissa decided. "If you would like you can also owl your godfathers and have them visit."
"We thank you for your hospitality Lady Malfoy," Harry said politely.
"But I think it is best we never return." Rose finished.
"No." Lucius spoke again for the first time. "You will stay here and be free to visit at any time."
Draco smiled at his father and grasped Rose's hand. Rose looked up and a small smile spread across her face. Harry looked up in disbelief before he nodded his head. The meal was finished in a happy silence and the children left soon after. Rose wandered back to the library and the boys followed her. The boys set up a game of Wizard's Chess and Rose sat in a chair close to the fireplace reading her book.
That can enhance the effect of the spell. Snake spells are considered dark because the tongue used. If one was to the the birds tongue, aeritongue, the spell would not be affected as much. Parseltongue is one of the strongest tongues to use. Parselmouths are usually stronger in Dark Magic and can produce a multitude of offensive and defensive spells. A Parselmouth will often have better results with spells for defense when using the tongue.
The Dark Arts when used for attacking can break through most spells and shields. "Light Magic" is often weaker than Dark Magic when protecting. The shields are much harder to control and sustain for long periods. Only wizards and witches of high level magical cores can ever hope of sustaining a light shield. Light shields are harder to layer than dark shields.
Dark shields are portable and easy to move while in use. Dark shields can provide a caster with a specific size of shield that can be changed depending on the casters magical control. Shields with very strong control will be able to be changed at will.
Shields can be visible or entirely transparent to an opposing wizard or witch. If the shield is invisible it gives the caster…
Rose was still reading as she drifted off to sleep in the chair, the book on her lap. Draco and Harry were going on their third game of Wizard's Chess when they noticed Rose. Draco nudged Harry and nodded his head towards the sleeping girl. Harry smiled and stood up. He and Draco stood on each side of the younger girl. Draco slid his arms under her back and knees. Gently he lifted her up into his arms and moved to the door. Harry opened the door and Draco entered the hall. Together the two wizards went down the hall and to Rose's room.
Upon entering the room Harry gasped. Even his room was not this grand. The room was decorated in blacks and a soft rosy pink color. White accents were placed around the room to brighten the space. The bed was a dark cherry wood and the four poster bed had a drape on the top. Sheer white and black curtains hung from the bed, the sheets were a black silk and a comforter of dark rose was laid over that. Dark cherry furnishings were dotted across the room. A desk stood under the window, a chair in front of that. A fireplace was on the far wall and a low coffee table was in front of that. There was an assortment of cushioned chairs and a couch before the fireplace. The carpet was a creamy white and the walls were a black color.
Draco set Rose on the bed and pulled the covers up to her neck. Harry leaned over his sister and planted a quick kiss on her forehead. Draco and Harry both left the room as silently as they could. Draco taking one last look before closing the door.
"Does Rose do that often?" Draco turned to Harry.
"Umm… well, yeah. She tends to overwork herself and basically passes out." Harry explained sheepishly.
"It's a bad habit then." Draco stated. "I'll make sure to work it out of her."
"Do you have a thing for my sister?" Harry started.
"Not at all." Draco drawled. "In fact, I see her more as a little sister to me than anything else."
Draco and Harry soon left the younger girl to sleep in peace. As Rose slept the boys moved to Draco's room where they decided to continue their games of Wizards Chess. The boys played late into the night until both fell asleep in Draco's room. It was Dobby who found them the next morning. Harry asleep on the couch and Draco sprawled across his bed in an utterly disordered fashion. Rose had been up and exploring the Manor before even the Lord and Lady of the Manor had woken. Together they met for breakfast.
"Lord Malfoy," Rose spoke first.
"Please, call me Lucius." Lucius interrupted the girl.
"Lucius, may I have access to all books in your library?" Rose asked.
"Yes. You may borrow any you would like at any time." Lucius agreed to the request immediately.
"Thank you!" Rose exclaimed.
"I see no problem when a child wishes to learn dear Rose." Lucius gave her a rare smile.
"You're so different to the people usually around us." Harry stated.
"How so?" Narcissa wondered.
"You care." Harry stated gaining gasps from the three blonds.
"Then I wish for you to come back here every break." Narcissa practically demanded.
"Really?" Rose looked confused.
"Absolutely!" Narcissa exclaimed.
"Your like the parents we never had." Harry looked at the two blonds.
"If you ever feel close enough to us, I don't think Narcissa or I would mind if you called us Mother and Father." Lucius came out of his shock.
"I already feel at home here…" Rose looked up slightly sheepish. "Father."
Lucius just smiled at the small girl. Harry glanced at his sister before excusing himself from the table. Rose watched her brother leave concern soon marring her features. A hand rested on her arm and she turned to look at Draco. His face showed the brotherly love he already held for her. Draco nodded and released her arm letting the small girl go off after her brother. Lucius and Draco moved to follow but a look from Narcissa halted them both in their tracks.
"Give them some time." Narcissa told them both. "This is a large change for the two of them."
Lucius saw the truth in his wife's words and sat back down. Draco sighed before doing the same.
Rose found Harry on the roof eventually, after spending a majority of the day looking. Rose smiled when she remembered Harry's fondness for roofs. She sat next to her brother and pushed against him slightly. He moved one arm up over her shoulder. A silence fell over the twins as they looked out over the setting sun. Rose laid her head into her brother's lap. His legs acting as a cushion for her head. A drop of water fell onto her cheek and she looked up. Tears fell down the older boy's cheeks and onto his sister. Rose pushed herself up and faced her brother. Carefully she wiped up his tears before wrapping her arms around his shoulders. Harry buried his head into the junction of his sister's neck and shoulder. Rose started to brush her hand through his hair in a soothing gesture.
"What is wrong brother?" Rose asked gently.
"They show us love, yet, we do not understand what it truly means." Harry whispered into her shoulder.
"We can learn." Rose spoke in a determined voice.
"I have wanted love for so long." Harry's voice broke. "It is hard to adapt to something that has been missing all our lives."
"We will be fine, as long as we have each other." Rose told her brother.
Harry nodded before he silently asked his sister to sing.
Rose smiled before she obliged him. "We lay asleep the world our keep. Rise to meet the sky and leap. Find your way in a world full of strife. Protect those you can, never sacrifice. Hold to your dreams. You will find the keys. Follow your heart, don't mind the scars. Whenever you start, look upon the stars."
By now night had fallen and the stars were starting their rise into the night.
"Face the night, and release your fright. The path to glory, is hard and broken. Embrace the story, never be unspoken. Magic flows, memory grows. Time moves on, go on strong. Don't bend, always mend. Live how you choose, learn as you lose."
Rose glanced at her brother's sleeping face and smiled. A quick summoning charm later and a blanket was wrapped around the two. Rose laid Harry's head in her lap and his body curled towards her. She leaned back until her head rested on the sharp roof. She cast a charm over her brother to protect him from the rain that Rose could sense was coming. Rose became too exhausted to keep her eyes open. Due to that she never got the chance to cast a protection charm on herself.
The night turned stormy and rain was soon unleashed upon the Wizarding World of Great Britain. Harry slept peacefully through the night, his sister's rain ward protecting him from the harsh water. Rose on the other hand, felt every drop of water. She woke halfway through the night, her head in pain from the harsh roof. Her body hurt from the sharp sting of the rain. Shivers racked her body, the water having soaked the blanket and her robes. Rose looked to the weeping sky and sighed, comforted by the fact that at least her brother was protected. In her freezing state, Rose's lips started to turn a pale blue, the cold finally having and affect. Rose laid her head down and drifted off, the rain continuing to chill her body.
Morning dawned gray and misty. Harry woke as the few rays of sun penetrated the dull clouds. He blinked, adjusting to the light, as he sat up. He looked out onto the grounds of Malfoy Manor and sighed. His behavior the night before was unacceptable for a young wizard. Harry knew that, but it was always a fear of his. His gaze wandered to the roof and he saw a small glimpse of a cloak next to his left leg. Harry swiveled his head so fast he almost gave himself whiplash. Next to him, unmoving on the roof, was his little sister, Rose. Her skin was a pasty grey, except for her lips and cheeks. Her lips were a slight blue, the chill from the water having changed them from the usually rosy pink. Her cheeks were a bright angry red, the sure sign of a fever.
Harry started to shake her shoulder, but stopped when he felt her cloak. The entire article of clothing was soaked through. Harry realized his sister had slept through the night, being pelted by the rain. Harry brushed his hand across his own cloak and was surprised to find it dry.
'She must have fallen asleep before she could cast the rain repellent spell on herself.' Harry thought to himself.
Harry pulled his sister into his arms before willing himself to Apparate into the entrance hall of Malfoy Manor. New tears streamed down the small boys face. A soft sob leaving his throat, attracting the attention of the adults. Along with Lucius and Narcissa stood one Severus Snape. The handsome young potions professor looked down at the boy and his package in mild surprise. Lucius and Narcissa immediately knelt next to the raven boy. Narcissa pulled Harry into her arms while Lucius lifted Rose. The small girl stayed limp and her head fell back. Lucius bowed his head to Severus before setting off down the hall. The blond Malfoy passed Draco who followed his father. Upon reaching the door the Malfoy heir opened the door and Lucius laid the sick child on the bed.
"Draco," Lucius grabbed his son's attention. "Watch over Rose. I will be back soon."
Draco nodded before pulling up a chair. He curled upon in the chair, feeling like a small child. He had never watched someone close to him fall ill. It was strange, Rose had grown on him in only two days. Draco moved onto the bed and gently lifted Rose until she rested against his chest. He pulled her ponytail down until her long raven hair was loose. He laid her back on the bed and her hair naturally fanned around her face and head giving her a black halo effect. Draco curled back up in the chair and watched the younger girl. The door opened and Narcissa walked in with Harry trailing behind her. Harry stood next to Draco a slightly dazed expression on his face.
"Would you boys give me a minute?" Narcissa asked.
"What for mother?" Draco looked at her confused.
"I think it would be best if I got Rose out of her wet robes." Narcissa explained.
"Couldn't you just transfigure her robes?" Harry finally spoke.
"I could, but too much Magic around an ill wizard or witch can make it worse." Narcissa informed the two young wizards.
"Let's go Harry." Draco pulled on Harry's arm leading him out of the room.
Harry complied and on the way he reverted back to his dazed and emotionless state. Harry felt his sister's illness was his fault. She had comforted him the night before, and she had protected him from the rain, but had probably passed out before she could help herself. Draco glanced at the raven haired preteen, worry written across his face. He had only known the boy for two days, but it was weird to see him so down. Draco entered the sitting room that happened to be next to Rose's room. Harry sat on the couch and pulled his knees to his chest. A frown lay on his face, his body curled around himself. Draco sat next to the boy and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Draco asked concern lacing his voice.
"Nothing." Harry muttered, though it came out more like no'ing
"It's not nothing!" Draco exclaimed.
"What does it matter!" Harry cried.
"You're holding in your emotions! You can't bottle it up!" Draco argued.
"It's my fault." Harry whispered after a silence.
"What's your fault?" Draco asked confused.
"Rose's illness." Harry basically whimpered.
"How can it be your fault?" Draco faced his adopted brother.
"She was out there because of me."
"Out where?" Draco wondered.
"The roof." Harry told him.
"The roof?" Draco looked at the small boy confused.
"I have a thing for going on roofs if I need to think or be alone. Rose knows that and found me last night. She talked to me to calm me down and sang to me. I've always fallen asleep when she sings, though it's usually when I'm worried or upset. I guess I fell asleep as night fell so Rose summoned blankets and placed a charm over me. It was to keep me dry. She must passed out before she could place the charm on herself and was open in the rain all night." Harry looked down at his feet.
"It's not your fault Harry." Draco tried to convince the boy of that.
"Yes it is." Harry argued.
"Rose wouldn't blame you!" Draco pulled his trump card. "I know she would be upset that you are beating yourself up over this."
With that final word Draco left, Harry trailing behind him, to see Rose. Thankfully Rose recovered in only a few days and was back to reading in the library all day, or riding her broom with the boys. The boys realized Rose would probably make Seeker if she ever tried out for Quidditch. Harry hoped for Chaser along with Draco. The last two days before the first years would go to Hogwarts were spent packing bags and double checking items packed. Harry and Rose never used their trunks and only had to lay their robes and supplies in the trunks. Along with those the two eleven year olds shrunk their brooms and stuck them in a side pocket in their trunks. As September 1st dawned bright and early the Malfoy's and the Potter twins gathered for a final breakfast before leaving for the train station of the Hogwarts Express. Harry and Rose were just glad they would be going home to the Founders again.
