There were fourteen more days before students would return to the common room, which was the twin's deadline to tell Harry. The first ten days were frustrating, it appeared that Harry avoided everyone with red hair, and at nights he was just missing from his four poster bed. While he spent time in front of the mirror, the twins searched everywhere for their Dear Little Raven, or DLR as Fred had nicknamed their target. Yet it wasn't until three nights before everyone would come back that Harry even spent a night in the dorm rooms.
The next morning saw the two Gemini red heads scanning the Great Hall for a small scrawny boy. Considering how few students that stayed at the castle over the holidays this was supposed to be an easy task. Yet somehow there was no raven at the Gryffindor table. Well, to be precise, there were eight ravens in the room two of whom sat at the lion table, but none was their raven, and being precise was Percy's job. With a resigned sigh the two of hooligans swayed over to their easily teased brother. Thinking quickly one slipped a new device into the back pocket of the younger red heads jeans as they loaded our plates for breakfast.
"How is your morning little icky Ronnie?" George teased while shoving a whole sausage link into his mouth. Fred's disgust and arousal competed with each other to see if his display was enjoyable. Arousal won.
"So so. Was peaceful until you two came and ruined it," grumbled Ron.
"But brother, you looked so lonely. Why where is Harry?" Fred grinned. Sometimes it was easy to get information out of people.
"He woke up early and ran to the library. I swear this Nicholas thing is going too far. But he didn't take the research notes we had on him…wonder what he's doing?" As the young brother rambled on, apparently about some obsession with outside learning, weirdo, the fierce duo focused on scarfing down the food at a rate that put Ronald's eating habits to shame. Still ignoring him the two got up, stretch and walked out the door. Three seconds later the device in the boys pocket went off causing him to turn bright green, burp large aqua bubbles and hop on one leg. A success if there was one, now if only that success would last all day.
With the gleeful laughter the two snuck into a small hallway and pulled out the best kept secret of all legendary pranksters of Hogwarts, the Marauders Map. With both giggling the twins snuck into a small hallway and pulled out our best kept secret. Quickly activating it, checked the library, and then deactivating the map. All in the course of a minute and the two were off to see the wizard. Weird muggleborn saying, but how does that make sense when everyone is a wizard?
Sneaking into the library the two circled around to trap the raven in. There was no way for Harry to leave.
~I'm a prisoner page break *sniffles* I dropped the soap ~
I felt the two closing in but focused on my book. Sure I could freak the two out and call out too l them but I already feel awkward after the other night. Lord, I mean Merlin, how else do you feel when you say something so stupid. I knew they would make fun of me so I spent the time avoiding the two, yet somehow they found me. Flipping the page I feel them draw closer, finally looking up I catch the Fred's eyes, and smirked as I saw him freeze at being caught. Stifling a laugh I grabbed George's hand as he reached for me and tugged him to a chair.
"Hello you two," I greeted and turned to a new page. I could tell they wanted to say something but I learned to be patient at the Dursley's house, so instead of asking I continued reading about something called elemental magic. Fred was twitching and kicked George under the table clearly trying to get him to speak, as I finished the chapter I closed the book and looked up. "Are you going to talk or can I go to breakfast now?" I said trying to get them to say something.
"Harry," Fred finally mumbled, "you said something about seeing us in Diagon Alley right?" Biting my lip I nodded trying to see what they would say, my nerves making my legs shake. "Well, we remember seeing you to. How could we not it was a huge moment for us, we had looked for you forever and suddenly there you were." Fred rambled on.
Eye twitching I stood up, furious. How dare they? They were supposed to be better than this, or so I thought. "Waiting for me? Huge moment? WHY BECAUSE I AM HARRY POTTER? HOW DARE YOU TWO I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE DIFFERENT. "I raged throwing my chair back and trying to storm out the door, but before I even got three steps from the table four hands grabbed me and pulled me onto twin laps.
A kiss. One to my right cheek. Then suddenly another on my left. I felt my cheeks heat up as two pairs of arms wrapped around me. This feeling, what is it, I feel….right. I look up just to have two lips kiss my own so sweetly. My rage disappeared and confusion mounted inside me. Opening my mouth the only thing I could say is.
"Why?"
~I'm a gir page break. Bring me pigs, scary monkeys, chocolate bubblegum milkshakes, and tacos~
To say me and George were happy was like saying Charlie didn't love his dragons more than women, or men, we lost track of his orientation really. Anyway, we got to taste those delicious lips finally. Only to have Harry ask us that single question, me and my lovely twin begin stuttering….yea stuttering. I mean we can't be all collected like Percy. Really how do you answer an 11 year old what a kiss means?
And of course he persisted, damn cute raven. One quick look between me and George and I walked off. George could explain it without little Harry being mad. As I left the library I was plowed into by two people I did NOT want to see right now. My younger brother and the know it all brunette. Wait…brunette? When did the bookworm get back? Damn George better tell him soon or I would kill the two first years in front of me. Please don't get me wrong. I love my brother, even though we do love pranking him more than others. But little Ronald Bilius Weasley had taken so much time with the young boy I want to focus only on me and my twin. Then after Halloween the brunette joined the group, effectively making it impossible to be near the young boy. Yes we are proud of Harry for fighting for the girls protection, yet at the same time we were pissed that his life was in danger and only a weak spell saved him from having his beautiful brain splattered all over a girls loo. OH yea. Brother and girl in front of me…must focus.
Looking back down I stared straight into the eyes of a furious muggleborn who had apparently asked me something while I was zoned out. Opening my mouth to ask what she wanted I was shocked to be pushed out of the way and stormed past. Confused I turned to Ron who just shrugged and followed her in. Worried I ran after them trying to stop them from stopping the conversation between my loves. Halfway there Ron and I both stopped at the loud scream and a resounding slap from in front of us. Slowly we walked forward to see Hermione dragging Harry away and George with a big slap mark on his cheek. Wanting to know what happened I grabbed said twin and dragged him to our dorm.
"Forge?" I tentatively started, "what happened?"
"Gred," my twin groaned, "I told him we felt feelings for him, but he didn't understand what that stood for so I kissed him and well Mione saw and slapped the magic out of me." Kissing his injured cheek I curled myself on his lap.
"Don't worry dear, we will get the lad. After all," I flexed, "who could stay away from all this?"
~ I am a Midnight movie premier page break. I don't want the series to end ~
Harry looked down at his hands as Hermione paced back and forth in front of him. The young boy was trying to put together what had happened in such a short period of time. One minute he was doing something with George's lips, the next a highly offended friend had screamed and slapped said red head. Then she had grabbed Harry's hand, dragged him to the common room where she threw some spell at the staircase and dragged him up the stairs and sat the boy on her bed.
"Hermione?" he tentatively started, "why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?"
Instantly the bushy haired girl stopped pacing and spins around grabbing the startled boy's shoulders. Pulling him into her chest she sighed, "harry, you did nothing wrong dear okay? I just have noticed some things about you. Will you be honest with me and answer my questions? Please?"'
When the boy who lived nodded she sat down holding his hand and took a deep breath. "Harry, where did your family let you stay?"
"In the cupboard under the stairs." The raven said only to be hugged close and listening to the witch speak so fast he could only catch a few words.
"I Knew…..Never ate much…so small….confused about normal things…..so innocent….." When said witch finally calmed down she ruffled the boy's hair and smiled. "I want to help, please? I will teach you what they thought you didn't deserve to know. I will try and protect and help you all I can. I will be the sister you never had. If you will let me Harry."
Sticking out her hand the brightest witch of their year looked on at the shocked face of the savior of the wizarding world. Said savior was shocked, someone cared? Wanted to be a family member? He had always wanted one.
Slowly they shook hands sealing the family bond between them and together the two sat talking about all Harry would need to know. Well until dinner where his new sister pulled him downstairs screeching about how many meals he had missed that day.
