Harry Potter with a Twist Chapter 13
Harry paced across his room as he awaited Hermione's arrival; they were supposed to be here ages ago.
"Calm down Harry, she'll be here any minute" Draco mumbled as he watched the chess board, trying to discern Blaise's next move.
Harry ceased his pacing and sent a deadly glare at the blonde, that sent the boy recoiling
"Do you have anything else you wish to say" Harry hissed.
Draco couldn't help but think that Hermione made Harry a lot nicer…at least when she was here there was a chance Harry wouldn't kill him. He continued to shake as Harry continued to glare, a second or so later and the green eyed boy was back to his pacing.
He continued for pacing for a full five minutes before suddenly halting and bolting from the room.
%^%^%^%
Hermione gave herself a slight shake as she stepped away from her mother, trying to get the feeling of dizziness out of her brain, apparation was a drag. Not even a second after finally clearing her head she felt something hard collide with her chest; looking down she saw the person she was thinking about not 2 minutes ago.
"Harry!"
"You were supposed to be here ages ago!" He admonished as he stepped back
"We know Harry" Emma yawned "But Dumbledore had a few of his spies 'watching over us' and they didn't leave until this morning…it was quite annoying…I still don't see why I couldn't 'accidently' blow them up"
They stared at her like she was half mad
"What? It was a good idea!"
Harry merely shook his head and turned his attention back to Hermione "So where's Dan?"
Immediately both females looked pissed "He's with Maria" they said in freak synchronization
Harry was thoroughly confused, in all his time of knowing the family he had never heard of Maria "Whose Maria?"
Emma sagged her shoulders and went off mumbling about killing blonde-whores while Hermione started grumbling about finding a way to kill immortal succubus's
"Hermione?" Harry whispered as he shook her lightly
She sighed, clearing her mind of unwanted thoughts and then faced him, her face taking on a serious look "We need to talk"
%^%^%^%
"So you're telling me, that you want to risk your life to retrieve a stone that might not even be there?" Harry asked Hermione; they were in the library, one of the many places in the house for privacy. It was off limits to them until they were third years because Tom said they couldn't 'handle' the level of spells within it. They never listened of course and by the age of 10 they had both found all the secret passage's in the manor, including the one leading to the library.
"Yes, it would be a wonderful gift for Uncle Tom"
"I don't think father would appreciate you risking your life for a stupid reason like that"
Hermione pouted "It's not stupid! Plus you'll be there to help me!"
Harry blinked "And how exactly will you accomplish that love?"
Hermione lit up like a bulb, more than glad he had asked. She stood from her seat and disappeared within the aisles, she came back minutes later with two large tombs.
"This one is on Soul bounds," she whispered as she lay them atop the desk and pulled aside the smaller of the two; she flipped through and landed at a page with a book mark "It says here that if our bond in strong enough we can actually do a form of apparition and appear next to the other…but that would take us years to learn"
Harry frowned "Then what was the point of showing me"
Hermione stared at him as if it was obvious "…Just listen. Now this book is on necromancy" she opened the larger tomb to a book mark and showed it to Harry
"Shadow walking?" He whispered
"Yes, a skill learned in fourth year for Necromancers. You've been doing necromancy for a while Harry and I'm sure you can learn this skill. If you learn the first part of Soul bond apparition, which is to focus solely on me then you can Shadow walk to my position"
Harry stared at the illustration of the man disappearing in the shadows and couldn't think of a better skill "you thought about this a lot didn't you?"
Hermione chuckled "Well I am a know-it-all bookworm"
%^%^%^%
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" Draco cried as he spun around in a pink tutu.
Hermione merely grinned and continued to spin the beautiful wand she had gotten from Knockturn alley; it was an 11 inch black oak with thestral, unicorn and fairy blood as its core, a deadly combination. A ruby had also been added to the wand, it was a bonus, a very expensive bonus that increased the power and level of control the wand displayed.
Harry had a similar one, though it was twelve inches with a Cerberus's tooth, thestral blood and a lock of a Firefox's fur as its core; he got an emerald embedded in his wand to help with his control, he already had enough power.
"Why should I?" Hermione laughed "you threw away Neville's precious remembral and then dared to speak back" she did a light twirl of the wand and watched as Draco did the action.
"It wasn't his fault Hermione, imagine what his peers would think if he had a mudblood insult him and not talk back?" Harry yawned "Bishop to F4…what now Blaise?"
"True, but it's quite fun to watch him don't you think?"
"Whatever you say love"
She would have continued the theatrics for another half an hour if the door wasn't suddenly banged open.
"Yes Mother?" she asked without looking up, knowing that only her mother banged doors open
"Tom's having a raid in a few minutes and I'm going, there won't be anyone here except the guards by the gate. Do NOT leave the mansion…understood?" the seriousness in her mother's tone caused her to look up.
Emma looked like she was going to a bar; she was dressed in a dark green spigatti tank top, black skinny jeans and knee high black boots. A black cloak was clasped over her shoulder with the hood brought up. Emma didn't have the usual silly look on her face; she was in her no-shit mother's mode.
"Whatever you say mother, I'll be sure to keep the boys in check"
Emma nodded and turned to leave "Stop torturing Draco, I doubt Narcissa would appreciate it" she gave Hermione a pointed look then left.
With a pout Hermione lowered her wand, watching with barely hidden malice as Draco ran from Harry's room.
%^%^%^%
"Did you speak to the kids?" Tom asked as Emma entered the slightly packed throne room
"Yup, I'm sure Hermione will keep them out of trouble"
Tom gave a slight roll of the eyes; did his sister not know that half the time Hermione willingly dived head first into trouble?
Emma finally reached his side and after taking his arm slipped on an intricately designed green face mask, the only visible part of her face being her eyes. It gave her a demonic look with the hood up which had most of the death eaters praying they never got on her bad side.
"Shall we dearest sister?" Tom asked
"Let's show Dumbledore what happens when he messes with the Riddle twin's dearest brother"
A round of pops later and the throne room was empty
%^%^%^%
"This is insane!" Hermione shouted as she followed the three boys in front her "My mother specifically said not to leave! She will freak if she comes back and we're not here! Not to mention Uncle Tom, he'll probably kill half his death eaters if Harry's not here! Uncle Lucius will call the Aurors and the Zabini's…well I don't know what they'd do?" she paused for a second to contemplate then hurried back after the boys.
They were walking through one of the many secret passages that led outside
"Where's your Gryffindor bravery Hermione?" Draco asked, a smug grin on his face; sadly he had gotten over his fear of Hermione when he realized she couldn't actually kill him
"I'm a Slytherin at heart Draco and I know about self preservation. Can you imagine what they'll punish us with this time? What if it's another lesson with Aunt Bella? Or worse, lessons on politics from Uncle Lucius!"
"You're over thinking things Hermione" Blaise admonished
"I am NOT, I was put in charge! Not any of you!"
Harry halted and faced his wife "Then stay Hermione, we're only going to Diagon alley for a few minutes to check out the new brooms, we'll be back in a flash" he snapped his finger and an elf appeared
"Wonky lives to please master Riddle!"
"Take us to Diagon alley Wonky"
Wonky looked around "All the masters and mistress?"
"No Wonky just the masters"
Hermione looked baffled "what was the point of going through the secret passage if Wonky could have just teleported you all there?"
Harry rolled his eyes; marriage was overrated "Because Hermione father has anti-apparation wards in my room along with everywhere else in the Manor, save for his office and the throne room. The wards end at this point exactly because about 10 meters away is a door that leads outside…have fun Hermione"
And with that they were gone.
Hermione stood frozen for a few seconds, completely mortified that Harry had used that tone with her; she recovered after a few seconds and immediately snapped her finger
"Yes mistress?" questioned the elf who just popped in
"Take me to where Wonky just went" she hissed, thoroughly pissed Harry had not listened to her
"As you wish"
A pop later and no one was in the dark passage.
%^%^%^%
Harry smirked when he saw Hermione pop in place in front him "That's a new record Hermione, I actually managed to count two clouds this time. We really are inseparable"
Hermione rolled her eyes "Yet still we go to separate schools…now let's go back"
"Not yet Hermione, the boys and I still have to see the new brooms. You can stay here if you wish the stores just up this street" He went off without a backwards glance, knowing she would follow.
Hermione continuously shouted about how stupid they were being while Draco and Blaise teased her for actually getting into Gryffindor with this amount of cowardice; of course she had talked Draco for the comment. Harry didn't give a damn so he simply blocked out there mini-brawl.
It wasn't until they were 3 minutes away from the store that Harry noticed something was horribly wrong. He looked around; most of the stores were closed, the stores were almost never closed.
'Hermione'
'What is it Harry? I'm trying to burn Draco with my eyes'
'Something's off'
'What?'
'Don't you feel it?'
They stopped walking and Hermione gravitated towards his side. There was a moment of silence as Draco and Blaise watched them in confusion.
Then they heard it, the distinct sound of battle.
A store was suddenly blasted apart and seas of black and red swarmed into the streets. Harry grabbed Draco while Hermione grabbed Blaise and they all slid into a nearby alley.
"The raid's in Diagon Alley! We are so dead!" Draco wept miserably "Mother is going to skin me alive when she hears this!"
Hermione grabbed the blonde by the collar "You think you're dead? My mother freaks when I get a scratch! How do you think she'll react when she sees me?"
Blaise was continually hitting his head against the wall while Harry paced the small alley, contemplating on how best to quell his father's anger. How was he supposed to know the raid was in Diagon alley?
"They're getting closer!" Draco whispered, sounding paranoid
"I have a plan!" Harry shouted
"Is it as stupid as your plan to come here?" Hermione hissed
"No love I'm afraid it isn't" they had a small glaring contest before Blaise jumped in between "May I remind you that they are getting closer?"
"We can't leave here by apparation, fathers not that stupid as to not put up anti-apparation wards. The only reason we managed to get in was probably because they weren't up as yet so our best bet is to use Hermione being a muggleborn to our advantage"
"And do explain this to me love"
Harry rolled his eyes "I was getting to that…Dumbledore's out there. He thinks I'm your cousin correct?"
She nodded
"Well then it wouldn't seem irrational for you to take your cousin to see Diagon Alley would it?"
Draco stepped up "But where does that leave Blaise and I?"
"Oh please Draco! We go almost everywhere together! Uncle Lucius will obviously know your both here!" Hermione growled "Now let's put this plan into motion, they're getting too close. You two hide, Harry hurry up and put on that glamour charm"
%^%^%^%
Emma grinned as more Aurors approached her, it was exhilarating. She whipped around her wand, thoroughly enjoying the looks of terror that washed over their faces when they saw her mask; the sun was overcast and the sky looked as if it would let loose the droplets of rain it held. The perfect time for a raid!
She downed at least 7 more Aurors before once again going back to back with her twin
'Do you see Dumbledore?' she asked Tom; they were only able to speak mentally when close by. It was a trick that they learned was highly rare in magical twins.
'…He's marching to us in his almighty glory right now'
Emma glanced over Tom's shoulder and stifled a laugh when she saw Dumbledore in his Shocking pink and yellow robes. He stood out like a bulb!
'I'll leave him to you brother. Have fun' She made to leave but stopped when she saw two kids running from behind an alley and into a nearby store.
She wasn't the only one who had seen; so had Tom and Dumbledore. Dumbledore looked distraught; he must have been worrying about what would happen to the poor kids. Emma rolled her eyes, any child that wasn't hers or close family were unimportant in her eyes.
"I'm afraid we must put our battle to a quick end Tom" Dumbledore said politely as he went after the kids.
'Damn him! Who does he think he is addressing me so casually!'
Emma rolled her eyes 'please do stop with the quarreling brother, when he's back you can assert your greatness. Right now let's have some fun with that pretty little witch who just dared to point her wand at me'
They were barely anywhere in the battle when Dumbledore came out of the store; who she saw with him caused her heart to stop. If her face was visible it would have been a dead give-away of her distraught mind.
In the arms of Dumbledore was a dirt covered Hermione while standing next to him was a dirt covered glamoured Harry.
Emma felt herself going into paranoid mother mode as her breathing became shallow and her heart rate sped up.
Tom gave her a quick glance, his face was covered by his hood but she could feel the worry rolling off him in waves; he couldn't make any inclination to knowing the kids, Dumbledore was already suspicious.
Harry gave the slightest twitch of his hand, but Tom saw it and looked in the direction he had pointed. There he saw Draco peeping out of an alley.
Tom sighed; these kids would be the death of him.
"I'll take my leave Tom; I have more important matters to attend to!" Dumbledore shouted as he spun on spot and disappeared with the kids.
Emma whimpered, her baby was in the arms of that monster!
'Emma get home before Dumbledore arrives!'
Tom's loud mental assault shook her from her tirade and without a glance in his way she disappeared. With Emma gone Tom quickly found Lucius and sent him to get Draco and Blaise out of there.

Harry sat on a white cot waiting on Poppy to finish her small diagnosis of him and Hermione; she was at first surprised to see him at Hogwarts, but had quickly gotten with the flow. No doubt she had been informed about the raid and guessing from her penetrating gaze she had an idea as to why they were here.
"There perfectly fine Headmaster, just a little shaken up from the encounter. I want you two to take these potions before you go to bed tonight okay? It'll keep away the nightmares" Poppy came out of her office with two clear vials of blue liquid. She gave them each one before facing Dumbledore "you can take them home now Headmaster"
"Thank you Poppy, I will, but first…how exactly did you both get to Diagon Alley?" suspicion was clear n the old coots eyes.
"That's entirely my fault professor! Don't blame Hermione!" Harry shouted before Hermione had the chance to speak "After the Halloween ball I really wanted to see more of what the magical world had to offer and when Hermione told me about Diagon alley I forced her to go….we were looking at some candy when the fighting start…I'm truly sorry headmaster!"
'Great cover story Harry'
'Thanks Mione'
"Oh that's quite alright lad! Now let's just get you two home!"
Hermione's expression was anything but pleasant, she actually looked terrified and this did not go unnoticed by Dumbledore "Is something the matter Ms Granger?"
Hermione gulped "Sir could you please convince my mother not to maim me? We weren't suppose to leave the house today…we kind snuck out"
Dumbledore smiled "why certainly child! I'm sure your mother will understand!"
%^%^%^%
Emma pulled the door open so fast she was convinced they would need a new one; she didn't stop for a second, immediately scooping both kids into her arms "You had me going insane!" Emma sobbed "I told you both NOT to leave the house!"
"I'm sorry Mom" Hermione whispered, she couldn't look Emma in the eyes " And so is Harry, right Harry?"
Harry blinked, was he supposed to feel sorry? He rather liked the moment f freedom. He took a full 30 seconds to think about what Hermione just said, all the while of which they were all watching him silently waiting on his answer.
He shrugged "I guess, it was fun though" The incredulous look that Hermione sent his way spoke wonders to what she thought of his answer.
A dangerous glint rose in Emma's eyes "Well then we'll see what your father has to say about this then" Harry froze, he literally just saw his end "Now up to your rooms, I think Mr. Dumbledore wants to speak with me"
They nodded and hurriedly made themselves scarce.
"What is it that you wanted to speak of professor?"
Dumbledore smiled "Please, call me Albus"
Emma blinked but said nothing, there was an awkward silence before Dumbledore continued "I think you should lighten the punishment given to the kids, better yet, give them none at all. I doubt that they meant to worry you, but kids will be kids and they cannot be cooped up all day"
Emma was silent for a few seconds; already knowing that Hermione was behind this speech "Now you listen here professor! These kids are not yours and you cannot tell me what and what not to do with them, so you better take your glowing ass off my lawn before I decide to see if Dan's gun collection is still functional!"
Dumbledore looked shocked that someone would speak to him, Albus Dumbledore, that way.
"Oh! And thank you're for bringing the kids back home safely"
"Your welc−" She slammed the door in his face before he could complete the phrase
%^%^%^%
"Don't you think they've learnt their lesson as yet?" Emma asked in worry, thinking that the punishment was too hard for her baby. This probably had to do with the constant begging and crying coming from four guarded doors in front her.
"You're the one who suggested it dear" Dan drawled, looking all nonchalant as he stood next to Tom, Carlito and Lucius watching the four closed steel doors
"Shut up Dan! You don't deserve to be here! You were too busy with Maria to come home on time!"
Dan didn't comment, choosing instead to do the smart thing and keep his mouth shut.
"Let them out" Tom instructed the Deatheaters guarding the doors.
The moment the doors were open out shot for traumatized kids; Hermione bolted to Emma, Harry to Tom, Blaise to Carlito and Draco to Lucius.
"Now do you promise not to disobey easily followed instructions?" Tom drawled as he patted Harry on the head; trying to calm down the traumatized boy.
Harry nodded but Tom didn't trust the nod, by tomorrow they would all be over it and back to causing mischief; though they may be more careful. Tom honestly didn't see the point of punishment it only worked for a few days.
Four footsteps were heard over the sobbing children and out of the rooms stepped four Deatheaters; in each of their hands was what looked to be a disk. Immediately the kids seemed to disappear.
"What exactly are on those disks?" Tom asked "I completely forgot to ask"
Emma smiled "My neighbor modeling bathing suits to her husband"
"How did something as simple as that cause that?" Carlito indicated towards the hall the kids had ran off to.
"Well my neighbor's gay, like guy gay, I call him her because he acts like one…. and let's just say those bikinis's were not his forte"
Carlito looked livid, not to mention Tom who was now thinking how foolish he was to let Emma do the punishing
"You showed a half naked GAY man to my SON?" they both bellowed
Emma rolled her eyes "oh please" Emma drawled "The second they saw the first suit they were battering down the door! I doubt they really saw anything!"
%^%^%^%
"So," Harry whispered three days later as he watched a game of wizarding chess between Draco and Hermione "Anyone up for a trip to Diagon Alley?"
