I don't own Harry Potter at all

A/N: okay here's another HP idea from my mind to your eyes. This one takes place after fourth year. This is a Harry/Patil twins with Hermione taking a back seat though she will remain by Harry's side in this. Not sure what I am going to do with the Weasleys at the moment.

A Twin Intervention

By: Sheltie

Harry sighed as he laid on his bed. It was the summer and he was utterly bored and depressed. It was the summer after his fourth year, and to him this past year had been his worst year yet. So many terrible things had happened to him. First he was selected to participate in a dangerous tournament that had been discontinued in the past due to the high death count. But what made it worse was he didn't even enter in the first place and was forced to go along with it. He was ridiculed by the entire school and if it wasn't for one of his best friend sticking by him he'd have gone crazy. The tournament was made for of age witches and wizards and he was just a fourth year unable to really compete with the others. But yet he succeeded and did even better than his older counterparts. But it was the last task that really got him.

In the last task it was supposed to be a simple maze, a race to the cup. But the cup turned out to be a portkey and Harry along with a fellow Champion named Cedric were sent to a graveyard. There Cedric met his death because he was just a spare.

And now he was plagued by horrible dreams, nightmares to be more accurate. All of them kept showing Cedric's death and how he was unable to stop it, save Cedric from his fate. Then the fact that he saw Voldemort rise again. What was worse that he hadn't heard from his friends so far this summer. Well, he did, but in short notes, and they were together it seemed. Which meant they were together somewhere while he was alone. This infuriated him since Ron and Hermione were together and he wasn't there with them.

"Boy!"

Harry groaned as he heard his uncle's voice. He got up and went to his door and opened it. There was his walrus of an uncle.

"Yes uncle Vernon?" he asked.

"Boy, I got some very important guests coming over and I don't want any of your freakish behavior going on this time" Vernon said as he glared at Harry.

"I promise uncle Vernon. No freaky stuff" Harry said in a monotone voice.

Vernon grumbled then nodded as he waddled to his son's door. He knocked on the door and Harry's cousin Dudley appeared.

"Son, dress in your very best. My clients will be bring over their two daughters and you need to look your best to charm them both" Vernon said.

Harry held back a snort at this. Yeah, right. Dudley charming girls. Now that's something I got to see. Especially him being dressed up. A pig in a tuxedo he thought.

/Scene Break/

Harry was back lying on his bed when he heard a car pull up. He figured it was uncle Vernon's client's family. Soon he heard the doorbell and the thumping sounds as Vernon made his way to the door.

"Mr. and Mrs. Patil. How lovely to see you. And these must be your two daughters" Vernon said in a smarmy tone.

Harry sat up hearing the names.

Patil, they can't be those Patils? he thought.

Deciding to take a chance and sneak a peek he snuck out of his room and down the stairs just enough to see into the living room. He saw Mr. Patil then Mrs. Patil, who looked like an older version of Parvati and Padma. Harry then leaned down further saw both Padma and Parvati sitting on the couch with their parents. They looked totally bored. Well Parvati did and Padma looked like she was trying to be interested though she was actually bored too. Even dressed in muggle clothing Harry knew these two anywhere.

Neither girl looked very interested in Dudley even as he strutted and boasted about all of his boxing accomplishments. Harry swore he saw Parvati roll her eyes as she watched Dudley boast. While Padma pretended to care. Mr. Patil looked to be feigning interested in Vernon's jokes and golf stories as Mrs. Patil acted like she enjoyed talking to Petunia.

Harry watched this all still somewhat shocked he was seeing Parvati and Padma. Soon he heard Padma asked for the bathroom and Harry froze. He knew he had to get back to his room before she saw him, but his body wasn't listening. Fate was on his side it seemed as his body kicked itself into gear before Padma was close enough to see him. He darted to his door.

/Scene Break/

Padma was utterly bored. She couldn't believe her parents had pushed her into going to this event. She had nothing against muggles, but this boy, if she could call it a boy was huge. She was sure that he was the size of a baby whale or manatee. Both her and her sister shared looks to convey what they were thinking about this all. Which pretty much stated that they were 'thrilled' they would be spending their evening listening to the baby whale.

Hearing this baby manatee brag about him beating up kids older than him and stuff was annoying and she and her sister went to school with Malfoy. This boy could give Malfoy a run for his money with being ostentatiously. The boy tried to come off charming, well, that's what Padma thought the boy was trying for, but it was coming off like he was a slime ball or something. She didn't even pay much attention to what the boy's name was. She automatically didn't care for him when she first laid her eyes on him.

So asking for the bathroom was her quick escape though a very short term one. She knew she was leaving her sister out to fry, but at times like this it was survival of the fittest. She headed upstairs and found the bathroom when she heard a door shut. She was curious. She was a Ravenclaw and hearing a door shut got her curious. So she diverted from her route to the bathroom and headed to the door. She opened the door and her eyes widen.

There on the bed was Harry Potter.

"Harry?" she asked.

Harry jumped hearing his name and turned to see Parvati, no wait, Padma? He wasn't totally sure which sister she was. He mentally cursed himself for not getting back to his room quick enough.

"Um, hi" he greeted weakly.

Padma entered the room.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Um, I live here" Harry said.

"Then that means those are your-" Padma said as her brain connected the dots.

"My relatives. They don't like magic at all" Harry said.

Padma just nodded.

"Um, I hate to ask, but are you Parvati or Padma?" Harry asked.

"Padma" Padma answered.

"Great, sorry. I don't know you well enough to tell you two apart" Harry said with relief.

Padma just nodded.

"So your dad is one of my uncle's important clients" Harry said.

"I guess" Padma said.

Neither knew really what to say since they've never talked before.

"Um, I better get back down" Padma said.

"Yeah, you do that" Harry said.

"Um, it was nice seeing you Harry" Padma said.

"Yeah, uh, you too Padma" Harry said.

Padma left Harry sighed.

/Scene Break/

Back downstairs Parvati saw the expression on her sister's face and knew her sister had just found something interesting. When Padma sat down Parvati gave Padma a look. The sisters knew each other so well that they could have a conversation with just using looks.

'Tell me what you found.' Parvati said.

'Now?' Padma asked.

'Yes, now' Parvati said.

'Harry' Padma said.

'Harry, as in Harry Potter?' Parvati asked.

Padma just nodded.

Parvati was shocked and looked ready to bolt from the living room to see Harry. But what was holding her back was Padma's hand on her wrist. Parvati looked at her sister and saw her shaking her head.

'Why not?' Parvati asked.

'One, it would be rude to just run out of here, and two I think Harry might want to be alone' Padma said.

'Bollocks. Harry shouldn't be alone and you know it. He suffered last year and he needs friends. Granted Harry and I aren't friends and we didn't have a very nice time at the Yule Ball, but he's a lion like I am Pad and McGonagall told us at the start of our first year that our house is our family' Parvati said.

Padma sighed. She knew her sister was right. Now there's something I never thought I'd say the Ravenclaw Patil thought. But she knew they had to be careful since this deal their dad was making was big and couldn't be screwed up at all. So as subtly as possible Parvati went to the bathroom.

/Scene Break/

Harry laid on his bed when his door opened he turned and found Padma, no wait was it Parvati. He sighed inwardly at this.

"Harry?" Parvati asked.

"Hey" Harry said.

Parvati closed the door and sat down on the thin mattress Harry was lying on. She had a look of concern on her face.

"Are you alright Harry?" she asked.

"I'm fine" Harry said not looking at Parvati.

Parvati frowned. She may not be Hermione who can read Harry like an open book, but she was good at read expressions. She knew Harry was lying to her.

"Bullshit Harry" she said.

Harry turned his head and glared at Parvati, but like a true Gryffindor Parvati stood her ground.

"Harry, I know you went through a whole lot last year and even though I didn't entirely enjoy my time with you at the Yule Ball you're still a fellow lion and that means something" Parvati said.

Ah Parvati Harry thought though he did wince slightly at the memory of the Yule ball and how he behaved to Parvati.

"I hate to see a member of our pride hurting and I'd be damned if I didn't try and do something to help you. I know I am not Hermione, but please talk to me and maybe I can help you" Parvati said.

There was a silence then Harry let a breath and began speaking. He told Parvati everything that happened in the third task from Cedric's death to Voldemort's reviving. Parvati flinching hearing Voldemort's name. Then Harry told her about dueling against Voldemort and how he saw his parents. By this time Parvati was holding Harry's hand trying to comfort him the best she could. At the end Harry had tears in his eyes, but he felt better. He then told Parvati that she and her sister were really the only contact he's had with the wizarding world and Ron and Hermione haven't really written to him at all and he figured they were together because their letters came together. This of course made him angry since he was stuck here while his two best friends were together having fun. He didn't know why he told this to Parvati, but it just felt good. Maybe because he had been so cooped up and needed someone to talk to.

Parvati listened to this all and felt for Harry. She like a lot of the lion pride that really knew Harry knew that he wasn't what the wizarding world made him out to be. He was no great hero, but a boy trying to find his way in the world while the world weight him down with responsibilities.

At the end Harry felt good he let it out. A knock on the door startled them both. Padma's head poked in.

"Parv, you got to get back downstairs. Everyone's starting to worry" she said.

Parvati nodded and released Harry's hand.

"I have to go, but I'll be back" she said.

Harry nodded.

Parvati and Padma left and Harry laid there wondering why he bared his soul to Parvati of all people.

/Scene Break/

Back downstairs Padma and Parvati pretended to enjoy their evening though in reality Parvati was telling her sister what Harry told her. Padma was shocked. She was in the group that didn't believe Harry entered his name in the goblet though that made her a part of the minority. Now hearing all Harry has been through she knew that he needed help. She needed to talk to her dad. After sharing a look with her sister they agreed.

"Dad, can I talk to you please?" Padma asked.

"Now, Padma?" Mr. Patil asked.

Padma nodded.

Raji Patil could tell his daughter really needed to talk to him and it couldn't wait be politely excused himself from Vernon. He couldn't stand the man since he came off like all those British purebloods he had to deal with, but in business you had to deal with people you didn't care for. After getting some space he turned to his daughter.

"What is it Padma?" he asked.

"Dad, Harry Potter is here. He's up in his bedroom" Padma said.

Raji was shocked to hear this. The Harry Potter was here.

"Dad, there's more" Padma said.

She then told Raji everything Parvati had told her and Raji grew grave. He couldn't comprehend it all, but knew this wasn't good at all.

"We've got to do something dad. Parvati is worried about Harry and so am I" Padma said worriedly.

"I agree Pad, but it's going to be hard since what you've told me that Harry's relatives don't care for him at all" Raji said.

"That's why I think they'd be glad to be rid of him. We can take him home with us" Padma said.

Raji thought about this. This would not be easy and could ruin the deal he was making with Grunnings, but then on the other hand helping Harry Potter would help him too. He decided to take a chance. The explosion was epic really.

"Mr. Dursley, I've come to some news just recently" Raji said.

"Oh, what about?" Vernon asked.

"It appears that your nephew is here and he's an acquaintance of both of my daughters" Raji said.

It took a moment for Vernon to connect the dots and when he did his face turned from normal pink to a red to near purple in a couple quick seconds.

"YOU'RE ALL FREAKS!" he shouted.

"I am a wizard and my wife and two daughters are witches" Raji said taking great offence to the insult.

"GET OUT OF HERE FREAKS! OUT!" Vernon bellowed.

"We will leave, but Harry Potter shall be coming with us" Raji said standing firm.

"Take the worthless piece of shit. He's been nothing, but a burden since he arrived on our doorstep" Vernon spat.

Raji turned to his daughters.

Padma and Parvati raced upstairs.

/Scene Break/

Harry heard shouting, but paid no mind to them really. He was used to his uncle shouting. His door slammed open and Harry leapt up wand in hand. He saw Padma and Parvati and relaxed a bit.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Pack your things Harry. We're getting you out of here" Parvati said.

Harry just blinked.

"Now Harry" Padma ordered.

Harry jumped and packed all his meager belongings. Then grabbed all that was precious to him from underneath the floorboards and put it in his trunk.

"Is that all you have Harry?" Padma asked watching this.

"Yeah, that's all" Harry said.

"We're going to take you shopping when we get you settled back home" Parvati said.

Once Harry was fully packed and made sure he nothing left he and the Patil sisters headed downstairs.

"Go, leave. Don't ever come back!" Vernon shouted.

"I will and don't worry I won't ever come back, ever. That's a promise" Harry said firmly.

What Harry didn't know was he somehow created a magical oath and it was now bond. So if he did ever return it would kill him.

/Scene Break/

The Patils took the car they rented back to the rental place then apparated away. Harry arrived at Patil manor. It was modest for them compared to their home in India. But they were still in the process of moving to Britain since magical India was getting crowded and Raji thought he should spread out and do business in other parts of the country. He chose Britain since he thought it would be a good opportunity. As well he thought his daughters would get a fine education. He had no clue about the racism he'd be facing when he arrived.

"Come on Harry, we'll show you to a room you can use" Parvati said.

She and her sister led Harry to a room that was suspiciously right across from theirs. Harry got settled in nicely though and it didn't take long for Harry to change into his pajamas and hit the hay. Things in his life were going to be changing.

/Scene Break/

The alarms and whistles blew in the headmaster's office. The old wizard leapt forward with speed and grace that belied his true age. He checked them over and was very concerned. He hadn't gotten any report from his watchers at all. He needed to call a meeting right a way.

/Scene Break/

In a grim old house there were several witches and wizards. They all sat around as Dumbledore appeared in his usual 'I'm important here' style.

"What's with the meeting Albus, did something bad happen?" McGonagall asked.

"Alas Minerva, the instruments I have watching Harry's relative's home has gone array. It only means one thing that Harry is no longer there" Dumbledore said.

There was gasps and chattering.

"Impossible, I watched him all day and he was there" a wizard said.

"Yes, but who was on watch tonight?" Dumbledore asked.

"Mundungus" several witches and wizards.

"He's probably drunk and pass out" a young witch with vibrant pink hair said.

Dumbledore frowned since he had missed Mundungus when he looked over everyone at the table.

"Why the hell did you decide to let him watch Harry, Albus. He's nothing more than a drunk and a thief" Sirius said.

"Now Sirius, Mundungus is many things, but he has is uses" Dumbledore said serenely.

"Do you know where he's gone?" a tall black wizard asked.

"No" Dumbledore said.

"Then I suggest we talk to his two friends. They are bound to know" a witch suggested.

Remus snorted at this.

"Something funny Remus?" McGonagall asked.

"I'm sorry Minerva, but I find this whole thing a bit funny and sad at the same time" Remus said.

"What do you mean?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well first you lock Harry away in a place he clearly hates. I know it since he never talks about it at all. Then you make his two best friends not write letters to him all summer. You've isolated Harry in a horrible place Albus. I'm surprised it took this long for him to leave. I know I would. Especially what happened this past year" Remus said.

"What do you mean?" a witch asked.

"Hmm, let me think" Remus said tapping his chin in mock thought, "oh yes, first he was forced into a competition with of age witches and wizards that could end his life, which it didn't. Then in the final task he saw one of his competitors killed in front of him and saw Voldemort get revived." There were flinches at hearing the dark lord's name. "He then had to fight off against the murderer of his parents only getting out by the skin of his teeth only to come back and to be called a liar. I may not know much, but what I do know is that you've bollocks this whole thing Albus" Remus said.

There was shock hearing this and Sirius looked at his old friend with interest. He had never seen Moony this incensed before if ever.

"Remus, I think you're been quite harsh on Albus" Minerva said.

"No I am not. I've read the books and know the signs. Harry was abused when he was younger whether it was physical, verbal or psychological I'm not sure. But he shows signs of it. Plus he is grossly under weight. His only two friends are in this house and they stopped writing to him under Dumbledore's orders. I'd be down right angry and upset about that since he thinks they abandoned him. But you know what's the topper. You let him go back to his relatives without any comfort or care. He just watched someone die. He's in a very emotional state and that could break him" Remus said with his voice getting louder with each sentence.

There was silence and soon the door burst open and a crying Hermione Granger appeared. She as well as Ron, Ginny and the twins had been listening in due to the twins' latest invention, Extendable Ears.

"I knew it, I knew it was wrong not to write to Harry. You!" Hermione said pointing at Dumbledore, "if I lose my best friend because of this I am putting full blame on you. I should've written to him, visited him to make sure he was alright."

"Hermione get out of here right now, this isn't a place for kids" Molly ordered.

"Let her stay Molly. If you want to know where Harry is Hermione is the best person to ask. She out of all of us knows him the best" Remus said firmly.

Molly looked ready to argue about Hermione being too young and shouldn't be worried about things like this. But Hermione seemed to have cracked. She had left Harry's side, something she had vowed to herself that she would never do ever. She was going to make it up now.

"I am not a child anymore. I wasn't since my first year on that Halloween. That Halloween I was crying in the toilet because your son Ron said some horrible things about me. I was nearly killed by a troll that was let in. Harry came to save me from it. He placed his own life on the line to save mine. I faced death and fear several times in my years of Hogwarts. Things that not many grown witches and wizards are supposed to see. I almost had my soul taken from me by Dementors in my third year" Hermione said.

She went on about all she had witnessed and be through in Hogwarts. This opened many people's eyes. McGonagall's head was down staring down at the table surface knowing she had failed her student, a cub in her own house. The others were shocked just hearing this since they've never heard it before.

"You want to know about Harry, well, I'll tell you. Harry is having nightmares about seeing Cedric die over and over. He has a 'people saving' thing. Whenever he can't save someone he puts the guilt on his shoulders and wears it. He bottles up everything he feels since there was no one around him to talk to. Even I can only open Harry up so much. He still hides things from me. Harry doesn't trust people easily, but when he does he trust he trusts them with his whole being til they betray him and when someone betrays Harry he may forgive them, but it will take a long time for them to actually gain back Harry's trust if ever" Hermione said.

There was more silence as everyone was digesting the information Hermione had given.

"Miss Granger, where would Harry be? We need to get him so he can be put somewhere safe" Dumbledore said.

"I'm not going to tell you. You've betrayed Harry's trust too many times as well as mine. I will not let you harm Harry anymore" Hermione said firmly.

"Now Hermione tell the headmaster what he needs to know" Molly ordered.

"I don't have to listen to you or him. I am not in school and you're not my mother" Hermione said.

"Listen here young lady you are under my roof-" Molly was cut off.

"That's where you're wrong Molly. This isn't your house, it's mine. And I'm giving Hermione free reign on whatever she wants to say. I've been too laidback as of late and not taking my duties as godfather seriously" Sirius said firmly.

There was much turmoil in the room and none knew what would come next.

/Scene Break/

Harry awoke feeling good. He wasn't sure why, but then he looked down and even in his bleary vision he saw two other people in his bed. He then felt his glasses placed on his face and saw it was Padma and Parvati. Padma and Parvati were the two people in bed with him. This completely shocked Harry since he had never been this close to two girls before and he was embarrassed.

"Padma, Parvati?" he asked.

"Morning Harry" Padma said.

Parvati was still asleep cuddling Harry.

"Um, why are you in bed with me?" Harry asked.

"You had a bad nightmare last night Harry. Parv and I raced in to comfort you. You calmed down when we held you, but when we let go you'd start up again. Our parents know and understand" Padma said.

"Oh, uh, thank you" Harry said.

"You're welcome Harry" Padma said with a smile.

Harry decided to lie there and relax a bit. I mean why not when you've got a set of twins in bed with you? After some lounging Padma and Parvati got up though Parvati with more reluctance since she was still sleepy. The twins headed back to their rooms to get ready for the day and Harry did the same. They met in the hall and headed down to breakfast. There Harry met with Raji Patil and his wife Navi Patil. Harry thanked them for their help and everything, but didn't want to be a burden of any kind.

"It was no trouble at all Mr. Potter" Raji said.

"Are you sure sir?" Harry asked.

"Yes, though I'll be having a talk with your uncle's bosses about how he insulted not only me, but my wife and daughters" Raji said.

Harry just nodded.

"Harry, I am curious about one thing" Padma said.

"What about Padma?" Harry asked now slowly getting a sense of telling the twins Pails apart.

"Well, I've heard and read that the Potter family are a very wealthy and such, but you don't seem to look like it. I mean, you wear those kinds of clothes" Padma said.

"Oh, well, the only vault I have is what my parents left me. I don't buy any new clothes since my uncle would want to know where I got the money" Harry said.

"Mr. Potter, I'll have you know that your parents wouldn't just leave you that vault. Now I may not know a lot about the British wizarding culture, but I've read a lot about it and know that the vault you have is just your trust vault. That vault is for school things as well as whatever you want within reason. You'd gain the rest of what your family left you when you come of age" Raji said.

"But that means I need to wait til I am seventeen" Harry said.

"Not really Harry. Didn't the Ministry and Dumbledore say you had to compete last year in that tournament. That means they counted you as an of age wizard" Parvati said.

Harry was shocked hearing this from Parvati since he only knew her as one of the gossip twins with the other one being Lavender Brown.

"Don't look so shocked Harry. Parv is quite bright. She just doesn't like showing it off like me. Plus she a lot more braver than I am and that's why she was put into Gryffindor and I in Ravenclaw" Padma said with a smirk.

Harry shook his head. Why did all the weird and strange stuff always come to him?

"But you raise a good point Parv. Daddy, we should check this out" Padma said.

"Hmm, yes Parvati's theory does have some merit and needs checking out. That means a stop at Gringotts" Raji said.

/Scene Break/

Harry, the Patil twins and Raji got to Gringotts. Harry went to the open teller.

"How can I help you?" a goblin grumbled.

"Um, my name is Harry Potter and I wish to talk to the Potter account manager" Harry said.

He was coached on what to say by Raji before coming.

"Do you have an appointment?" the goblin asked.

"Um, no" Harry said.

"Very well, I'll check to see if he's busy or not" the goblin said then left.

Harry and the Patils waited for fifteen minutes then were led into a posh office.

"Mr. Potter. My name is Bowelgutter. Welcome, and who are your guests?" the goblin said.

"Um, hello Bowelgutter, this is Raji Patil and his two daughters Padma and Parvati they are here as my advisor and guests" Harry said.

Bowelgutter nodded.

"Now what can I do for you Mr. Potter?" he asked.

Harry then explained what the situation and Parvati told the goblin her theory. Bowelgutter sat back.

"There's only one way to find out. You'll need to try on the Potter family ring and see if it accepts you" Bowelgutter said.

"What would happened if it doesn't?" Harry asked nervously.

"Nothing, you will be able to try again when you're truly of age" Bowelgutter said.

Harry turned to Raji and he nodded.

"Bring up the ring" Harry said.

Bowelgutter nodded and left. He then came back with a box and gave it to Harry. Harry opened it to see the Potter family ring. The ring was solid gold it seemed. It had some weight too. There were runes all over and Harry hadn't a clue about them at all. But he saw a nice ruby in the center. There was the Potter coat of arms inside the ruby, which was a crossed wand and sword. There were twin griffins one holding the sword and the other holding the wand.

Harry placed the ring on his finger and it shrunk to fit. He was shocked to say the least, but then something happened. Harry was then surrounded by a magical aura and he fell to the ground in pain. He clutched his head as black gunk oozed out of his scar.

Padma and Parvati leapt out of their seats to get to Harry.

/Scene Break/

Voldemort was on the ground in great pain. He felt like something was being ripped apart inside him. he fell silent not to be found til one of his followers would find him unconscious on the ground.

/Scene Break/

When Harry awoke he was sore and could feel the tingles of pain. He saw Padma and Parvati kneeling beside him with great looks of worry that he had only seen on Hermione's face.

"Are you alright Harry?" Parvati asked frightened.

Harry just nodded since his throat was sore from screaming. He had been screaming, he didn't remember that at all.

The twins helped Harry back into his seat and moved their chairs so they were on either side of him. Raji saw this and smiled. Harry got a drink of water to sooth his sore throat.

"Lord Potter, are you alright?" Bowelgutter asked.

"Yeah, I am, but what happened?" Harry asked.

"We're not sure, we're wondering if-" Bowelgutter was stopped when a memo appeared on his desk. He looked at it and was shocked.

"Lord Potter, if you and your advisors would come with me, it's of great importance" the goblin said.

Without word the party followed Bowelgutter til they reached a big office even grander than the one Bowelgutter had. In the chair, or should I say throne was a goblin older than Bowelgutter. He had this air about him that told everyone that he wasn't only old, but powerful and a great warrior.

"Lord Potter, my name is Ragnok. I am the head of the goblin nation" the goblin said.

There was shock and confusion. For the Patils shock since they knew who Ragnok was and confusion since Harry hadn't a clue at all.

"Lord Potter, you are here because I got alerts of dark magic being release within this bank" Ragnok said.

Harry gulped. He hoped he wasn't in trouble.

"Now we do not blame you since the dark magic you released wasn't performed by you or the vault that the other alert came from" Ragnok said.

"Um, two?" Padma asked speaking up meekly.

"Yes two, we've investigated it and found what it was" Ragnok said.

"What was it?" Parvati asked thinking since Ragnok let her sister speak she could too.

"It is a foul and disgusting magic known as a Horcrux" Ragnok said.

Padma and Parvati didn't know what this was and neither did Harry, but Raji did and he paled.

"Two of them?" he asked.

"So you know of what I speak of?" Ragnok asked turning to Raji.

"I do, I am a spell researcher of sorts as a hobby. I know of many dark spells and rituals. Not to perform them mind you, but to understand them better and possibly find ways to counter them" Raji said.

Ragnok nodded. The ancient goblin understood totally. To understand a dark wizard you must look into their magic they use. Not so you can use it, but so you can understand and find ways to counter them. The adage of know thy enemy.

Raji turned to the three teens.

"Girls, Lord Potter. A Horcrux is probably the foulest kind of dark magic ever. It requires you to kill someone so you can split your soul. Now this can't be any kind of murder, but it has to be in cold blood, that's the only way it can work" he said.

Padma and Parvati paled at hearing this.

"I-I-I had that inside me?" Harry asked.

"Yes, now that I am thinking about it. I believe Voldemort somehow put a bit of his soul inside you when he tried to kill you. I am not sure if it was deliberate or not. Since it seemed this wasn't the first time he's done it who knows how unstable and fractured his soul was when he attacked you" Raji said.

"As we know it's two. Lord Potter and an item in one of the vaults of someone else" Ragnok said.

"Two? That's more than even most have done. I have only read about it being able to be performed just once. That doing more than once could be quite dangerous" Raji said.

"Yes, but Voldemort wished to immortal. Him creating more than these foul things shouldn't be surprising since he wanted to be above death itself" Ragnok said.

"His real name is Tom" Harry said.

"What is that?" Ragnok asked.

"That is Voldemort's real name. Tom Marvolo Riddle. He was a Hogwarts student and Head Boy. He claimed he was the heir to Salazar Slytherin" Harry said.

"And how do you know this?" Ragnok asked.

"Um, I can show you in a memory if you have a Pensieve" Harry said.

"We have something better" Ragnok said then switched to his native tongue and told Bowelgutter to get something. Bowelgutter rushed off and then came back with a crystal cube. He gave it to Harry.

"Just think of the entire memory you wish to show as you press this end" Bowelgutter said showing Harry the proper side, "to your forehead."

Harry did as he was told and then handed the cube back. Bowelgutter looked at Ragnok and the goblin nodded. Bowelgutter placed the cube down and pressed a rune. Soon the entire room was a projection of Harry's memory. The memory started in Lockhart's office. Parvati was disgusted at herself for fawning over such a fake. Padma felt the same. Soon the memory move along and to Myrtle's bathroom and then down the entrance that Harry created using Parseltongue.

They saw the giant snakeskin then Lockhart's stupid plan. Then they watched as Harry found Ginny and then met Tom and the chat that followed to when Harry fighting for his life against a basilisk. Padma and Parvati cried and grabbed onto Harry when they saw the beast. Harry just held them tight. They watched how Harry defeated the giant snake then beat Tom once more. It ended with Ginny gasping for air.

Raji just stood there. He needed something very stiff to drink. He had witnessed something that endeared him tremendously to the boy right by him. The fact that a twelve-year-old Harry had faced such a thing was frightening. He saw his daughters clutching onto Harry as Harry tried to console them both.

Padma couldn't believe what she had just seen. She had heard all the rumors about what happened, but took them as a grain of salt since they were just rumors. None backed up with hard facts. But seeing it all before her truly showed what Harry was up against and that the rumors could never be this good at all. In fact the rumors seemed tame compared to the real thing. The size of the beast made her knees weak and she couldn't even imagine what Harry was feeling facing that thing. It had to be 60 feet long or more.

Parvati had also heard all the rumors like her sister. She tried to find the small grains of truth within each rumor hoping to piece together the true story. But after seeing what really happened none of the rumors were even close at all. She was a Gryffindor and she didn't even think she could face that thing like Harry did. A friend in trouble or not. She just didn't think she could do it. The thing was huge.

Ragnok mulled over this. Lord Potter seemed to be a true warrior. The sword Harry had pulled out was made by his great grandfather as a gift for Godric Gryffindor. It was said to be lost when Godric died, but there it was and it had found a new wielder too. There were so many things that needed to be discussed.

"Lord Potter, I believe we have much to discuss" the goblin said.

Harry just nodded. He still had two crying girls in his arms.
