Chapter Eleven

Answers

The two boys stared at the headmaster. Dumbledore looked at the ceiling.

"Well?" Draco finally ventured.

"Which would you like first? The who or the why?"

The boys looked at each other and seemed to come to an unspoken agreement.

"Who." They said together.

Dumbledore nodded. "Very well. Voldemort and his entire realm. And the Vampires. And the night elves. And the dementors."

The boys sat back and looked at each other. They had to protect Ginny and Cass from all that?

"On the plus side, if Voldemort falls, the vampires, night elves and dementors won't be a problem. Well, the night elves would, but they wouldn't want to kill them."

Draco cleared his throat. "Let's hear the why then."

Dumbledore smiled. "Right. Mr. Malfoy, your sister and Miss Weasley are each one half of a set of twins."

Harry scratched his head. "Cass and Ginny are twins?"

"Not to each other. Cass is Draco's twin and Ginny's twin died at birth."

"Why does that make them so special? There are at least three other sets of twins. The other Weasleys, The Patils, the Reeds in Hufflepuff."

"Yes, but look at each each set and tell me what makes them different."

Harry got it first. "They're identical. Fred and George are boys. Padma and Parvati, Luke and Rob. Same sex."

"But why does the gender play such an important role?" Draco asked.

"Because in the wizarding world, non identical twins are rare. As a result, the twins have different talents. Usually they are complete opposites. For instance, Miss Malcolm is very skilled in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures. You, Mr Malfoy are skilled in the Dark Arts and Potions."

"And Ginny and her twin?"

"Miss Weasley and her brother are most skilled. The greatest difference I have ever seen. Her dead brother can martial the forces of earth and water. Miss Weasley can martial the dead."

The boys stared. "What?"

"Are you saying, Ginny can raise the dead?" Draco asked.

"No. Miss Weasley cannot raise those who have left behind. But she can command those caught in limbo. She can control Dementors and Vampires and even Night elves would have trouble disobeying a direct command from her."

"Wait. What are Night Elves?" Harry asked.

Draco was the first to answer. "Night Elves are one of the most dangerous creatures on earth. They have a strict monarchal government, the only reason they haven't taken over the world. They have this habit of killing their kings and selling the queens out as whores. There is little they won't do for a night under the stars."

Harry frowned. "That last bit seems almost noble."

Draco shrugged. "They are a noble people. But seventy odd years ago they backed the wrong horse. The lighter sides shunned them and the rest is history."

"So Ginny can command them?"

Dumbledore nodded. "But what makes these two young ladies so valuble, is what they can accomplish together."

"And what's that?"

"Pray, my boys that we never know."

As they left the room, Harry turned to Draco. "Out of curiosity, who did the Night Elves back?"

Draco looked at him for a moment. "Hitler."
