Chapter 2
Author's Notes: Hello everyone. It is time for that next chapter update. I cannot believe that I am still receiving great reviews from my own version of Harry, Hally Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I will try to make sure that their second year will go great just like the last one. In addition, I wanted to inform the readers that the twins are going to begin a change since they are no longer eleven years old. Harry will start to notice the girls, and Hally will start to notice the boys; however, they will still be devious pranksters seeking for revenge on anyone who crosses their path.
Disclaimer: No, I do not own the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling does; only a select few characters are from my own creation.
Chapter 2
Soon all of their guests had arrived, and the party began right on time…
All the Slytherins as well as a few Gryffindor's that were invited to the twins' birthday party, gathered around Harry and Hally while the adults conversed amongst themselves. The twins' first task was opening their gifts and thanking their friends and other guests who were invited to the party in respect to their father Severus.
Screech popped into the ballroom right in front of the twins, setting their first gift down before them.
"Those are from me, you two. Open them at the count of three. One…two…three!" Severus announced giving them the word go
The twins tore open the wrappings at the same time while their friends giggled and sniggered at their antics.
"Gods, can you both be any more alike?" Blaise teased them with a big grin on her face, the others started cackling over her harmless tease.
"We're not that alike Blaise," Hally grinned at the light-brown-haired girl
"Yeah, come here and I'll show you" Harry wiggled his eyebrows up and down at Blaise
Blaise started to blush from Harry's comment. Laughter erupted from the other Slytherins.
"Stop that Harry," Blaise grinned
"What's the matter Blaise? Is my big brother trying to get you again?" Hally asked with a snigger
"Hally! Oh man," Blaise blushed once more
The twins pulled their gifts out, after seeing what they were.
"Oh cool!" Harry exclaimed
"Wickedly sweet!" Hally cried out
Ron's eyes went wide, "Hey, they got dueling robes!" Ron blurted out in awe
Draco got closer after hearing Ron's words, "What? No way!" Draco replied noticing the robes.
"Wow, they even have our initials on them" Harry and Hally both commented with grins
"Yeah, but one has green on it and the other has Silver, why?" Ron asked them
"Because Ron, green is my favorite color," Harry answered
"And my favorite color is Silver" Hally spoke next
Draco turned to look at his father in shock from that bit of news. Lucius only looked back with a stone face, staying silent.
"Really Ron, they may look somewhat alike, but they are different in other ways. Everyone knows that" Hermione, who was the last guest to arrive on her own replied
"Oh," Ron simply said, feeling a little sheepish that he should have realized that being that he had twin brother's hisself.
Screech sat two more boxes down in front of Harry and Hally.
"Now those will go with your robes. They are also from me," Severus announced next when everyone suddenly heard a loud explosion outside of the ballroom.
Everyone looked at the doorway of the ballroom seeing something run by like a blur. Screech quickly hobbled to the doorway peering out, and then looked back at Severus in anger.
"Master, that houseelf is back again!" Screech exclaimed then joined the rest of the houseelves to try to catch him.
Severus went to the doorway, "Find that Rogue houseelf and bring him to me!" He bellowed out while the twins looked at each other before scrambling to where their father stood peeking their heads out to see, their eyes landing upon their demolished huge birthday cake that was waiting to be rolled into the ballroom.
Hally let out a gasp, "The cake! He blew up our cake!" Hally yelled out
"Oh man. Hal calm down you made two cakes," Harry whispered
"Yes, but that one was made extra special for you Harry," Hally spoke in low key when Dobby skidded to a halt right in front of them.
"Grab Him!" Screech yelled out to the other Houselves
Hally seethed in anger "You blew up our cake! Now you're going to get it!" She shouted getting ready to join the chase
Severus grabbed her arm swiftly before she lunged for the houseelf.
"Calm down Raven, we know you are angry, but let the other houseelves do their jobs. We'll simply serve the spare birthday cake, it is just as big as this one was," Severus told her while he steered the twins back inside the ballroom.
The second cake was brought inside immediately; to make sure that nothing happened to it while the twins and their friends began to play some wizarding games, one being that each one drew out a piece of paper with a boy or girls name on it, when it became that person's turn, they had to read out the name and stand in the middle of the circle with that person to kiss them after a wand had chosen them of course. The wand spun around while levitating when it land on Harry first.
"Go on Harry. Read the name on your piece of paper," Hally giggled
Harry opened his paper then grinned from ear to ear. "Blaise," Harry read the name aloud before standing in the middle of the circle
Blaise suddenly got shoved gently into the center facing Harry, "Go on Blaise, pucker up" Hally and the other girls squealed out with a fit full of giggles.
"There must have been a mix up! The papers wasn't shaken up right…oh man" Blaise blushed seeing Harry crook his finger at her
"Come here Blaise, time to get that kiss" Harry replied while cackling with the other boys
Blaise let out a small groan before allowing Harry to give her a kiss and going back to where she stood, blushing.
"Now that was a hot kiss! Come here Blaise, I want another one," Harry grinned evilly
Laughter erupted around the circle as well as from the adults.
"Harry leave her alone now, you got your kiss now spin the wand," Hally giggled at the two
"Ok, here we go now, get ready everyone," Harry exclaimed then spun the wand around. The tip faced them while it spun around until it stopped in front of Hally.
"Oh no," Hally gasped hearing sniggers, giggles, and cackles.
"Come on Hal, who is the name on your paper?" Harry asked with a snigger
Hally slowly opened her paper that revealed the name. Her eyes went wide
"Well who is it Hally?" Hermione enquired
"Malfoy" Hally read aloud
There was a brief silence in the ballroom before everyone burst into laughter at Hally's predicament. The boys pushed Draco into the center of the circle,
"Get out there Malfoy," Harry cackled with the rest of them
"Um can I pick another name please?" Hally asked suddenly, getting a weird feeling about the situation
"No way Hal! It's the rules, you have to kiss Malfoy" Harry cackled
Severus waved his hand at Hally "Go on Raven, play the game fairly now" Severus smirked
"Oh man, this is going to be good," Ron sniggered watching the two look at each other as though the other had something gross on them.
The two reluctantly kissed each other, when Hally felt a strange feeling inside of her before they quickly moved away wiping their mouths with their hands.
"Gross!" they both cried out over roars of laughter
They continued the game when minutes later the wand stopped in front of Draco.
"Ok, Malfoy who's the one on your paper?" Harry asked
Draco opened his paper, "Pansy" He read aloud, going to the center of the circle with Pansy.
"I don't want to play anymore," Hally blurted out suddenly, she walked away to sit down
"Hally how come?" Blaise asked
"I'm just getting bored with the game, that's all" Hally answered
Suddenly everyone wanted to know the real reason why and started asking Hally the same question.
"I just don't ok!" Hally exclaimed, getting irritated then looked at Draco and Pansy.
"Well go on Malfoy, kiss her" she replied, her reaction being clearly noticed by Severus
'Oh no' Severus thought
Harry had a hard time believing his twin sister, especially the dreams that she was having as of late. "Hal, there is another reason why you want to stop playing the game and your not telling. Now what is it?" Harry questioned suspiciously
"Look, you all can continue to play, but I really don't want to play Harry." Hally answered, wanting to drop the subject.
Hally turned her eyes back toward the two standing in the center of the circle. "Go ahead Malfoy, kiss her" Hally spoke out with a slightness of sarcasm coming from her. Harry knew what the problem was at that moment.
"Hal a word please? Excuse us for the moment everyone" Harry replied before he left the ballroom with his twin sister.
He faced his sister once they were out of earshot.
"Now talk little sister, what's going on?" Harry demanded his question
"Nothing," Hally answered quickly averting her eyes
"You don't like Malfoy do you?" Harry questioned her with narrowed eyes
"Who?" Hally asked making a weird face
"Malfoy," Harry answered her, waiting for her reply
"No!" Hally answered way too quickly at that moment
Harry took a small step away from her. "Eww! You do like Malfoy! Hal, what is wrong with you?" Harry exclaimed his question in low key
Hally shook her head before confessing to her brother. "It's just a small crush Harry, I'll get over it. To be honest I don't know why I created that scene in there." Hally explained to him finally
"Please do or that vision of yours will happen," Harry told her before they headed back inside
"She's all right, just bored. Malfoy go ahead so we can end the game." Harry announced to their guests, keeping their secret safe.
Draco gave Pansy a kiss, made a face, and grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth.
"Bloody hell, little Potter can kiss way better than that Pansy!" Draco exclaimed, and then noticed the looks on the boys' faces.
Flint wiggled his eyebrows at Hally, "Oh ho! Hally can kiss!" he hooted
Hally quickly hid her face from them so they wouldn't see her blush.
"All right, let's play another game here everyone," Harry announced, sniggering at his sisters predicament.
They were all making suggestions on what game they all wanted to play next.
"How about chess?" Ron suggested "NO!" the rest cried out as well as the twins.
"I know one that everyone can learn…unless of course there's a wizarding version of it" Hermione commented next
"What game?" the twins asked, clearly interested in her suggestions
"Truth or Dare?" Hermione suggested
Everyone looked at each other before looking back at her. "How do you know that game?" Flint questioned her
"Oh please! The muggle kids has always played that game at parties," Hermione answered
"Hermione is correct. They do play it" Harry verified truthfully
Flint pondered on the suggestion, "All for Truth or Dare?" He questioned the other Slytherins, seeing all hands go up in the air quickly
"Truth or Dare it is. Since it's Harry and Hally's Birthday party; one of them should go first," Flint announced
Both twins started to whisper, to see which one would go first when Harry got an idea from noticing Percy across the room sitting down in a chair.
"How about if I go first?" Harry asked aloud
"All right Harry…"
"Truth or Dare Hal?" Harry questioned waiting for her answer
"Dare" Hally answered, bracing herself for the worst
Harry gave her an evil grin, "I dare you to go over there, sit on Percy's lap and flirt with him," Harry dared, Hally's eyes went wide.
"Are you serious? Wait, this is a joke right?" Hally asked
"Nope. That is your dare…unless you are a HufflePuff in disguise," Harry told her
Several sniggers erupted in the ballroom, Hally narrowed her eyes at the culprits then looked back at her brother,
"Dare Accepted big brother," Hally accepted then walked over to where Percy Weasley sat.
Percy stretched his arms over his shoulder yawning when Hally sat down upon his lap with ease. Percy cleared his throat.
"Hally, what are you doing?" Percy enquired
"Nothing. I just noticed that you looked very cute acting all grown up." Hally answered
Everyone gathered around Harry, listening in on Hally's comment, grinning.
"Thank you Hally," Percy simply said, looking at several paintings that were hanging on the wall when Hally started to play with his hair.
"You know, I really like your hair this way. It makes you look so sweet," Hally commented
Percy cleared his throat. "I try; ahem I'm feeling rather warm, are you?" Percy enquired
"No," Hally answered him. Harry and the others started sniggering.
Hally looked into Percy's eyes just then. "Percy, would you like a kiss? I promise not to tell Susie," Hally asked in a sultry voice
Suddenly Hally felt something funny coming from Percy. She quickly got up from Percy's lap. Percy stood up swiftly "Uh, excuse me!" Percy exclaimed walking out of the ballroom in quick strides.
"Boy! Did he ever leave fast!" Hally commented
Laughter erupted from their friends after hearing Hally's comment.
"Ok Hal, it's you're turn to ask someone," Harry cackled, amazed that his twin sister can do a good dare
The game went on with laughter, giggles, and sniggers until the houseelves brought the party food inside. Soon, everyone was gathered around the long buffet table, helping theirselves to many selections of foods. Ron could not help his-self, he piled his dish high while the twins watched with raised eyebrows.
"What? I like all of it" Ron told them
"Nothing Ron, eat all you want there's plenty for everyone." The twins replied leaving the subject alone.
Finally, it was time to serve the cake, both twins each took an end, slicing the confection, and handing it to their guests. Ron had two slices of cake, Draco took three slices, while Harry had four. Hally could only grin at her brother, seeing that he remained to have a healthy appetite.
"Now you're not going to tell Ron or Malfoy that you beat them both on having more cake then they are you Harry?" Hally enquired
Harry gave her a sly grin, "Who me? Never Hal" He answered her then devoured his fourth slice of cake
They noticed their father Severus speaking to the Malfoy's, he turned their way.
"Raven, you have something to give to Draco I believe?" Severus questioned the raven-red-streak-haired girl
"Do I have to now dad?" Hally asked with a slight groan
"Yes, right now young lady," Severus answered, giving Hally a stern look
Hally blew out a quiet sigh then went to retrieve a package that sat alone upon a small table in the corner of the ballroom, and headed over to where Severus and the Malfoy's stood.
Hally held the wrapped package out to Draco, "Happy belated Birthday Malfoy," She spoke politely, waiting for Draco to take the package
"Thanks" Draco muttered, taking the package from Hally
"Well, go on son. Open it," Lucius told him with a slight nod
Draco opened the package, to find a complete dragon design wizards chess set.
"Wonderful workmanship on the design, quite expensive indeed. Miss Potter, you have a good eye on these things," Lucius commented thoughtfully while Draco continued to stare at the gift in a stunned awe.
"Son, do you not have something for Miss. Potter?" Lucius reminded Draco
"Oh yeah, yeah. Here, Happy Birthday Potter," Draco mumbled, practically shoving Hally's gift into her hands
Hally opened her gift, finding a powder blue robe. "Oh. Thanks" Hally simply said politely, making a wincing face on the color.
"Mother picked the color out," Draco replied
"Um…it's really…nice. Thank you again," Hally hesitated before walking away and making a gagging face from their view.
Draco watched her cross the room, setting the gift down without a second glance.
"She hated it," he exclaimed looking up at his parents
Severus looked at him, "Oh? What was it?" He enquired
"A dress robe. Powder blue," Draco answered
Severus swore under his breath before making a reply, "Nice gift, but the color is wrong. Raven prefers black or Silver…Both together if any. Don't get the wrong idea, Raven…prefers the dark colors as well as her brother," Severus explained to them
"Oh dear. I did not know Severus, I'm sure that the maker can change the color," Narcissa replied
"There's no need for that. Raven will most likely have the houseelves do that," Severus assured them
Harry peeked at the gift from Draco. "Eww, powder blue Hal?" Harry asked
"Mrs. Malfoy picked it out Harry, don't worry about it, I'll have it fixed." Hally answered closing the box quickly while shuddering over the color.
After the party ended, both twins had seen their guests out, thanking them for showing up.
"I must admit, even with a few Gryffindor's being here, I had a good time. See you both at school," Flint informed them before leaving with his family
"See you at school Flint," the twins grinned, waving goodbye before closing the door.
They headed into the main living parlor to sit down. Severus looked up from his desk.
"You both did an excellent job on behaving yourselves today. Now remember Connor, you go to the Weasley's first and Raven will join you…hold on a moment," Severus spoke out after finding a letter unopened on his desk.
Severus read the letter, "Raven, I'm afraid that Charlie had to cancel on you, so you'll go with Connor to the Weasley's instead. I will join you two in Diagon Alley in a few weeks after you receive your letters on what you both will be needing, and you will both be heading to school with them. I'm sorry if I won't be seeing you two off at the station, but we have a new Professor again this year and I have to make sure that he gets settled in." Severus informed them
"Who is the new Professor dad?" the twins asked at once
"Gilderoy Lockhart," Severus answered
Harry looked quite confused, "Isn't he an author?" He asked
"Yeah he is, and a great big fraud. Dad and I met him once, and the big oaf tried to show dad a better way to make potions, blotched it up big time he did," Hally answered
Severus bursted into laughter over the memory then collected hisself quickly
"I'm surprised that you remember that day Raven. Just keep your eyes on that one Connor and you'll see what your sister means…come to think of it, Raven is so far the only female that isn't heart struck over the wizard." Severus spoke out in detail
"Thank gods for that." Hally simply muttered
"Sounds like he's conceited to me," Harry commented
"He is," Hally replied remembering the man smiling at the females while they swooned for him.
"You two best get your things ready for the morning. Silver and Iris as well, Your cats are already at the school to help Mrs. Norris to hunt for rats in the dungeons," Severus informed them
They headed up to their rooms to pack for their summer holiday at the Weasley's.
