"Sorry, Harry, love," Ginny said. "I don't know anything that isn't known by everyone. Mum misses them so much that she doesn't really like to talk about them, just a few comments here and there, we learned most from their old friends."
Gideon and Fabian stared at her, looking her up and down, as though looking for the baby they had seen before they died. Eventually they spoke.
"You're Ginny?" Fabian began to ask
"Our niece?" finished Gideon.
Ginny smiled at the twin talk, which she hadn't heard for many years, and nodded, although her smile was a sad. Harry knew she was thinking of George, how he and Fred had loved to twin talk, finishing each others sentences, and, now, poor George couldn't do that.
George was distraught after the war, for a while he just sat in his room, only letting his mum into give him meals, but once he came out and started joking again, he would say something expecting Fred to finish it and looking so sad when he looked at the empty space that Fred usually filled. It was odd to begin with to hear Georges laugh without Fred's, when you think of George you automatically think of Fred, they're a package deal, there was no George without Fred, except now there was - Harry hoped Fred would return soon.
"How about we bring my mum in?" Ginny suggested. "Her or Dad."
"Molly?" said Gideon.
"Yes, Molly, I want –" said Fabian
"- to see –" interrupted Gideon
"- my sister," they finished together.
They, along with Ginny, looked at Harry with hopeful eyes, but Harry wasn't sure. He didn't want to get Molly's hopes up either, just as he hadn't his. What if they turned out to be impostors? It was highly unlikely, considering that everyone else in this room was who they said they were, but there was a chance. He didn't want Molly to be upset as he knew she would, she'd be heart-broken to see them and then discover that it wasn't them really. Ginny, as was normal, seemed to know what he was thinking.
"Harry, you're right, there is a chance that they could be Death Eaters,' Ginny began; Harry looked at her and tried to stop his thoughts to concentrate on her voice. 'But they haven't attacked any of us yet -"
"But what if the Death Eaters want to avenge your mum for killing Bellatrix?"
"Molly killed –" Fabian began.
"Bellatrix Lestrange?" Gideon finished.
"Hell yeah!" Sirius laughed.
Harry and Ginny continued their conversation as though they hadn't been interrupted: "Death Eaters know that the best way to hurt Mum is through her family that, love, is common knowledge. Please, Harry, just explain it to her."
Harry looked at her for a while, thinking it through in his head, she smiled at him, Dora, Lily and James nodded, Remus and Sirius looked like they weren't sure and the twins looked hopeful. Harry sighed.
"Fine," he said eventually and Ginny gave him a dazzling smile. "I want to get this done today, maybe they'll let me have the day of tomorrow."
"I hope so," Ginny said, as she moved to the fireplace. "You said you'd go flying with the boys, they were really looking forward to it."
She picked up some Floo Powder before chucking it into the fire and disappearing. Harry frowned thinking how he could make it up to them.
"Boys?" Sirius asked.
"Teddy, Jamie and Al," Harry replied smiling slightly.
"Teddy?" Dora said, leaning forward.
"Yeah who is fine and happy," Harry said smiling at her and Remus. "I need to make it up to them, I've been working overtime with everything going on - I'll take them out or something."
Dora smiled, "so he lives with you?"
"Since his grandmother died, I'm sorry about that, Dora."
"Will someone please tell me who Teddy is?" James asked annoyed cutting of Dora as she went to respond.
"My son," Remus said quietly. James, Lily and Sirius stared at him, but before they could say anything about it he quickly turned to Harry. "The other two boys? Your sons?"
"Yes," Harry said shortly about to continues with more when the flames turned green and Ginny stepped out.
"Mum'll be here in a minute," Ginny said smiling, "she's just telling Dad were she's going, he's in his shed again. I told her not to get he hopes up."
"Thanks, Gin," he replied as the flames turned green once again and a slightly plump woman with hair the same colour as Ginny's stepped out.
"Molly," Fabian and Gideon breathed so quietly that only Harry, who was sitting across the desk from them, heard.
"Fabian! Gideon!" she cried a smile breaking out on her face.
"Mum," said Ginny. "What did I tell you?"
Molly nodded and turned to Harry with her usual motherly smile.
"Hello, Harry, dear," she said smiling. "Enjoying your day off?"
"Hello, Molly," Harry said also smiling and rising from behind the desk, "and considering that I'm at work, I'm enjoying my day off more than thought I would."
He glanced at the people he'd checked and Molly followed his gaze to only gasp in response. To distract so they could get to work he walked round the desk to hug her before gesturing to the seat next to his behind the desk.
"Ginny's filled you in?" he asked as he sat down
"No not really, just told me not to get my hopes up, but now I see why," she said watching the twins warily.
"Okay, I've checked everyone else, these are the last two," Harry said gesturing to those sitting with Ginny and then to her brothers and continues his sentence at a speed. Molly was used to his speed talking to fill people in by now. "The ministry doesn't know anything that isn't known to the world so Ginny thought it would be a good idea to have you check them. Are you okay with that?"
The last question was said slowly, in his normal voice with a hint of concern. He didn't want Molly doing anything that would upset her after all she'd done for him over the years.
"Just fine," Molly smiled.
"Okay Gideon you first, Fabian it might be hard but don't say a word, alright?"
They both nodded before Gideon drank his Veritiserum, Harry waited a while before beginning.
"Full Name?" he asked as he picked up his pen.
"Gideon Mick Prewett," Harry then nodded to Molly who gulped and took his hand. He squeezed it as comfort.
"When I was six and Mum and Dad had gone out for Halloween and left me in the care of you two, one: what did you want to dress as? Two: what did you want to dress me as?"
"I wanted to dress me and Fabian as Siamese twins and you as a cat," he said, sounding as though he was bored which was an effect of the serum. "We were going to make you a cat with two heads so you matched us but when mum and dad went out we couldn't."
Molly smiled, "What was dad's last words to you?"
"Don't go doing anything stupid now, you here, you and Fabian may not care about you lives enough but me, your mother and Molly do, so be careful, both of you." he answered.
"Is that enough?" Molly asked Harry.
"That's perfect," he smiled and nodded.
Harry poured out the antidote once again and pushed across the desk. As soon as the effects were over Molly flew across the desk at Gideon. His eyes had barely returned to the normal brightness - the potion made them dull - before they had their vision observed by a large of amount of red hair. He hugged her tightly sensing she needed it before Harry cleared his throat, although there was an apologetic look on his face.
"Molly, I'm really sorry to stop the reunion but we have all the time in the world left and you can catch up at home, with both your brothers, as soon as we clear Fabian," he really sounded sorry so Molly let go of her brother and sat down next to him and Gideon went to sit with the other people who had been cleared. "Right Fabian, you know what to do by now."
"Yeah," he said before downing his truth serum.
"Name?" Harry said, repeating the process.
"Fabian Eric Prewett," he replied.
Molly asked him a series of question before Fabian got to take the antidote. Molly threw herself at Fabian this time and hugged him. They stayed locked in an embrace for a little while before Gideon came and wrapped his arms around both his siblings.
Eventually Molly called Ginny over.
"Yes, Mum?" she asked as she walked away from Harry who was putting all their folders away.
"You probably don't remember your uncles do you?"
"Not at all," Ginny told her sadly.
"Oh well, little one," Gideon grinned.
"We'll just have to make up for lost time," Fabian added.
Harry glanced up and laughed at Ginny's worried expression – she had reason to of course growing up with Fred and George.
"Gin," he called and she drifted back over to him. "I've got to do some paperwork for this lot are you going with your mum and uncles or back to the kids?"
"Back to the kids," Ginny smiled at him watching the way his eyes left her every now and then to jump over to his parents who were locked in an embrace laughing the Remus, Sirius and Tonks. Though their eyes drifted to him just as often. "I'll left Hermione there. I'll take our lot back with me and won't tell the kids anything till you get home. When you do, you're taking them out flying or something to wear them out."
"Yes, dear," Harry smiled, kissing her on the cheek.
Quickly they all left in a whirlwind of hugs and kisses – his parents and Sirius had a hard time letting go of him as did he – but eventually office looked as if nothing had happened and he was sat filling in all the paperwork. He'd caught Molly just before she left to whisper her news.
"I don't want to get your hopes up but," he paused and she stared up at him with his wife's eyes, "blood relatives often come back within a few days of each other…"
Molly gave him a sad smile, "we can hope."
With that said she had disappeared with her brothers. It was only a couple of hours, just as Harry was putting away the last of the paperwork that another knock sounded on the door.
"Come on in!"
Neville was back through the door and Harry smiled – it was lucky it was a Saturday or he'd have had to send an Auror to collect all the dead appearing there. There was only one person this time- Fred Weasley.
He walked in with an impish grin on his face, "Head Auror, Harry, nice job!"
"Thanks, Fred," Harry couldn't help but chuckle – if Fred turned out to actually be Fred then it would make Molly's week.
"Here's his folder, Harry," said Neville. "I grabbed it on my way in again, save someone a bit work."
"Thanks, Neville," Harry said taking the folder from him. Neville nodded and left. Leaving Harry to gesture Fred to the seat opposite his desk; "take a seat, Fred."
Fred sat without question and looked at Harry as he opened the folder.
'So now what?' he asked. 'Neville said that I had to come to the Head Auror to be checked?'
"Yeah," Harry said pouring the truth serum once again into cup. "You need to drink this so I can check you are who you say you are."
"Right-t-o," Fred grinned, taking the serum from Harry and drinking it in one.
'Name?' Harry said picking up his pen for hopefully the last time today.
"Fredrick Fabian Weasley," said Fred having the same bored tone as the others – it was extremely odd coming from a Weasley twin.
"What did you do to make your brother, Ronald Billius Weasley, scared of spiders?" Harry asked.
"I turned his teddy bear into a giant spider because he broke my toy broomstick."
"And how did you know about all the secret passages at Hogwarts?"
"The Marauders Map," Fred said shortly.
"Which is?"
"A enchanted, detailed map of all of Hogwarts, made by Messers. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs."
"Sirius Black - innocent or guilty?"
"Innocent framed by Peter Pettigrew," Fred said but his eyes were returning to normal, the potion was wearing off - it was obviously a weak batch. After a few minutes he was completely back to normal. "Did I pass?"
"Yeah," Harry said grinning. "Yeah, you did."
"So what now?"
"You come back with me. I'm going to do your paperwork another day."
