A/N: So here is chapter 2! Reviewer Danielle, to find out the answer to your question, read on! : )
Chapter 2-- Meet the Twins
Lily started her daily ascent to her son's room. He was such a loner. Yes, he had friends, but he was an introvert to the extreme. She knew it would be a waste of time going up to his room, but she still did anyway.
Lily came up to his bedroom door and saw a sign that said "Shut up and GO AWAY!" She sighed when she heard the Weird Sisters blaring on his Muggle CD player. He preferred Muggle electronics to anything else.
Lily brought up her closed fist to the door, and was about to knock, when the door flew open.
"I sensed your presence," Lily's youngest son said. Lily seemed a bit taken aback at this, but quickly recovered.
"Seth… What have I told you about blaring the music?…" Lily sighed. Seth kept an emotionless expression on his face.
"This is not music. This is a way of life," he said, flopping down on his bed and taking out his Muggle cell phone.
Seth was wearing a relatively baggy plain black zip-up hoodie. He had on a pair of high-top, black Converse, and black straight leg jeans. He had a mop of extremely shaggy and messy black hair, just like his father, James.
"Yes, yes, you've told me," Lily said. She pointed to a small, black circular box-type thing on his bedside table. "Why can't you just listen to the Weird Sisters on your portable CD player?"
Seth answered her immediately.
"It doesn't get loud enough."
Lily sighed for the hundredth time. She looked around his room. He had posters of various bands covering every inch of his walls. They we Muggle posters, so the musicians stayed stationary. He had dark grey carpet and bed sheets. A wooden desk stood in the corner full of letters and magazines. There was a white Les Paul guitar leaning against the wall, and a drum set was smack-dab in the middle of the cluttered floor. The only colourful thing in the room, really, was a pile of various cat toys in the corner.
"Cookie! Where are you?" Seth called out. Suddenly, a small black and white spotted cat leapt into Seth's lap. Seth stroked the little kitten lovingly.
"Fine, you can keep the music. Just turn it down or I'll have to put a silencing charm on your door," Lily said. Seth jumped up so quickly that Cookie barely had time to latch onto his shoulder.
"No," he stated firmly.
"Why, Seth?" Lily asked pleadingly. "Why do you hate to use magic so much?"
"I just don't like it, okay?" Seth said moodily. "Besides, what does it matter? I'm only fifteen. I can't use magic, anyway."
"Well, fine. But you have to come down and eat dinner with the whole family tonight, then," Lily said.
"Fine," Seth replied distractedly. He had continued to play with a fake mouse with Cookie. Lily turned to stalk out of the room, but Seth's voice stopped her.
"When is Violet getting back?" Lily turned around.
"She is due to be here in a few minutes," Lily replied, walking out of his room.
It was always the same. She would only so much as mention magic, and he would blow up at her. She needed to talk to him, but he just wouldn't let her. The only people he would talk to were his siblings. His best friend was Violet, his twin sister, and he had always looked up to Harry, even if he did deny it every second of the day.
On Lily's way back down to the kitchen, she passed her daughter on the stairs. Violet had been staying the night at a friend's house. Violet had bright red hair, just like her mother. Violet had dyed her hair red, considering she was born with James' hair. She had always said that black hair didn't suit her.
Violet's favourite colour was, coincidentally, violet. She was wearing brightly a bright purple shirt that had a picture of her favourite Muggle band, the Jonas Brothers, on the front. She wore a hot pink skirt, and over-the-knee socks that were striped with every colour of the rainbow on them.
"Violet," Lily said. "Seth was asking about you."
"Okay, I'll go hang out with him, then. Bye, Mum," Violet said happily as she continued up the stairs and into Seth's room.

"Hey Seth," Violet said as she sat down next to her twin brother on his bed.
"Vi!" he exclaimed, giving her a huge hug. Just then, their older brother, Harry walked into the room.
"Whoa, what's with such the warm welcome?" Violet asked as Harry sat down at the drum set.
"Yeah, how come I didn't get a hug?" Harry asked, picking up the drumsticks.
"Well, I just missed you, that's all," Seth said, while Cookie played with the sleeve of his sweatshirt. "And Harry, you didn't get a hug because you are an idiot."
Violet got up from the bed and snatched the drumsticks out of Harry's hands and played a tune that sounded like, "Ba dum shh".
"Why am I an idiot?" Harry asked, snatching the drumsticks back from his sister.
"Because," Seth sighed, sounding exasperated. "you can't even talk to a girl without choking and making an idiot out of yourself!"
Harry's mouth dropped open and his eyes bulged out ever so slightly. At this point, Violet was rolling on the bed in a fit of giggles, while Cookie was rolling around beside her.
"How did you find out about that?" Harry asked. "You weren't even there!"
"Harry, you should know by now that I am everywhere," Seth said, whispering the last word. Harry rolled his eyes, while Violet wiped away her tears of mirth.
"Yeah, who were those people anyway?" Violet asked. Harry stared at her.
"You weren't even in the house when that happened!"
"I have my sources of information that shall remain confidential," Violet said, glancing quickly at Seth and smiling.
"I am watching you two," Harry said darkly, pointing a finger at each of them in turn.
"Well, Dad said that they were the Weasleys, or whatever," Seth answered Violet's question.
"They must live here," Harry concluded. "That's why Mum, Dad, and Sirius know them. They must have known them before we moved to America for those ten years while Mum and Dad home schooled us."
"So we must have met them we were like, what? Five and six years old?" Violet asked.
"Most likely," Seth said. "That's why we don't remember them."
"But they are magical, aren't they?" Violet asked. Seth tensed at this.
"Yeah. I saw a few wands," Harry said, noticing Seth's discomfort. He always acted this way when magic was brought up in a conversation.
"Well, anyway," Violet said, "HARRY LIKES A GIRLLLLLLLLLL!"
Seth cracked a smile that only showed on his face when he was with his brother and sister. Harry picked up a pillow from the cluttered floor and flung it at Violet. She dodged it with much skill. The pillow instead proceeded to knock Cookie, who was standing on the bed, on his side. Harry and Violet took this as an opportunity for a pillow war.
Seth grabbed Cookie and dodged a flying pillow before he plopped down in the corner to watch the scene unfold in front of him. How he loved his siblings.
