Here is the next chapter of Once Enemies, Now Brothers!!!!! All characters go to J.K. Rowling, except for the O.C.'s. I don't own Harry Potter! Wish I did. But I don't.
David didn't know what to do. His wife, Alexas, had decided to let him sleep in for once, and had
gone about getting breakfast ready. While waiting for the eggs to boil, she had gone out to get the mail. Only to stumble upon two infants. She had screamed in shock, waking him up. He had come running to see what was wrong, but stopped short to see that she was holding two black haired babies.
"W-what the?" David said, quite intellegantly.
"I don't know...They were just...on the porch..." she said quietly. Suddenly, rage began to fill her eyes and she said angrily, "How dare they leave two innocent little baby boy's on a strangers porch!? If I ever find out who did this I'll rip out their intestines, snap their spinal cord, proceed to mummify them alive, and then feed their remains to that nosy neighbor who's always spying on us!!!" David slowly backed away from his irate wife.
"Er...that's very nice and all sweetheart," He said nervously, "but what are we going to do with the babies?"
Alexas stopped looking furious for a moment to look down at the bundles in her arms. She had a contemplating look on her face. "I'm not sure..." she said seriously, "I suppose...we should go to the police...they might know who these two boys belong to." Just as she said this, the two pairs of sleepy eyes opened. One of them had startling emerald green eyes, and the other had intellegant grey eyes. The duo looked up at Alexas with such an adorable, lost look on their faces, that David could tell that she had fallen in love.
"Oh my...they are so...so....CUTE!!!" Alexas squealed before proceeding to hug the babies to her chest.
David coughed, "Eh...love? I think your squishing them..." And sure enough, the babies were being squished.
"Oh dear!" Alexas exclaimed while looking at the babies, "I'm so sorry! Forgive a silly womans mistake would you?" The children just looked up at her with matching dazed looks on their faces.
"Ally...I don't think they can understand what your saying...they're babies after all..." David said. Right as he said this, the baby with the grey eyes turned to look at him...as if daring him to say that again... David simply blinked twice. "Er...sorry?" The strange babe seemed to deem his apology acceptable and gave a nod before turning back to Alexas.
Suddenly his attention was diverted by the other baby giving a squeal and pointing down at the porch. David and Alexas turned their attention to what the babe was pointing at and saw a piece of old parchment. 'That's odd.' David thought, 'Who uses parchment anymore?' Never the less he stooped down and picked up the parchment and saw that it was a letter. He began to read aloud so his wife could hear.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ride,
You are undoubtfully confused. As anyone in your position would be. These two young babes have led a harsh life. They have lived in harsh environment with harsh people. I cannot tell you much but I express my hope that you will care for these children and take them in as your own. They deserve it more than anyone else. The grey eyed babe is named Tom. He was born on December 31. The green eyed babe is named Harry. He was born on July 31. I plead that you take care of them and, when the time comes, accept them for who they are. For they are far more different then they seem to be at this moment. Please help them live a normal life.
Your's sincerily,
Friend After The End.
"Friend after the end?" David said confused, "What's that mean?"
Alexas shrugged and grinned. "Who cares? He's given us what we've alway's wanted!" She beamed down and the young children. "Hello Harry! Hello Tom! Welcome to the Family!"
Sorry for not updating in awhile. But my life has been in overdrive. My grandma, may she rest in peace, died and naturally I attended her funeral and spent time with my family. Then I spent a week with my relatives for Thanksgiving. Then I had to study for the nine weeks tests. Then I had to study for the semester tests. Then I had to make Christmas presents. Through it all, I pretty much forgot I had started a Fanfiction account much less story. Please forgive me. Now. Who can guess who Friend After The End is?
