"It's you….it…it can't be" he mumbled before grabbing the nearby table for support.
"Yes Arthur it's me" said the figure stepping into the room smiling.
Arthur still looked like he was about to faint but managed to contain himself. He wondered if this was all a dream. He never thought he'd be seeing this person again. He took a deep breath, pinched his arm and looked back up.
"Since I'm here I know this is real. I need a serious firewhiskey and then you must explain yourself at once. Are you alone dare I even ask that question? I'm sorry for my reaction but my mind has latterly been blown" he stumbled out sitting down as a firewhiskey was handed to him which he proceeded to down in one go while another was passed to him which he slowly sipped.
"That is quite alright. If you'd reacted any differently I'd have been worried for your safety or indeed mental health. The answer to your question is no I'm not alone and things are indeed about to get very interesting for you. As you'll remember I supposedly died in 1981 in a fight along-side Fabian and Gideon Prewett. Now as you'll remember Dumbledore always said to us that to fight and kill the way they do makes us no better than them. Myself and the Prewett boys as you'll no doubt remember were an impossible force for the many death eaters we faced to beat. No matter what we did they couldn't beat us. Then we got an idea. Dumbledore had always said that the use of simple spells could be very powerful if done the right way. Are you with me so far?" he asked as Arthur looked up at him once again.
"Yes Bilius I am with you so far. Please continue. Oh my dear brother I really thought I'd lost my twin all those years ago. Life has been so tough as of late you really have no idea!" he said as Bilius smiled patting his shoulder before continuing.
"So as I was saying about the use of simple spells we hatched a plan to use an extreme version of the confundus charm on a group of major death eaters we were fighting. We believed that if we left our clothes behind in shredded tatters with a bit of our blood and disapparated away to safety in the confusion they would assume as would their dark lord that they had killed us. It worked and they did think so. We believed that if Voldemort thought his toughest opposition was gone he'd be more lax in his approach to everyone else and be defeated easily. We couldn't have predicted he'd be killed by Harry Potter though. That within itself was a huge surprise to us. I'm sorry but it truly was for safety reasons we couldn't return to you yet. Now here in Brazil magic works differently. We each get a device we must submit our blood to. Once that's done we can then check on the status and so on of our families. My device said you were in trouble and I had to come out of hiding to find out why. I truly do love you brother. I am so sorry!" he said crying hard as Arthur too cried.
"You know our twin bond was never closed and all these years I said I could feel you so you must be alive and everyone said to me I was crazy. I knew it wasn't true but no one would believe me. They'll feel pretty stupid now when they find out I wasn't lying. You are right though that I am in trouble. Essentially my marriage to Molly is over. I discovered the other day that she is being summoned to court as my best friend Damon Goss came to see her to let her know this was happening. As I arrived home he was leaving and so I saw him. I don't know if I ever told you this but when we were kids he and I took an honesty blood oath so we could never lie to one another for safety reasons. I went to ask him what she'd done and all he could tell me was that with the help of someone else she had stolen funds from a minors account. I asked him to confirm by nodding yes or no whose account it was. I eventually learned it was the account of one Harry James Potter. Oh brother I have never been more ashamed in my life!" he said as Bilius reeled back in shock.
"Surely you don't mean Molly your wife? I mean I know you guys didn't always have the best of things but she always seemed to be ok with it. Can I please extract a memory of the events so I can see them in my pensive?" he asked as Arthur agreed he could. He saw everything that had gone on and emerged from the pensive raging with anger.
"Now as you know we've had to lie low here so Voldemort would think one of his biggest threats was dead and feel a little bit more secure before he could be taken out by anyone. He put so much effort into trying to destroy us that he really wasn't prepared for the likes of Harry Potter and so on however no one was really. I mean who would ever think he could be destroyed by an infant no less? I know Molly always seemed slightly annoyed that you didn't have enough sometimes but she always kept that under control at all times. I am disgusted to hear otherwise. I apologise but as you know I'll have to show this memory to the Prewett boys. Also I have more I need to tell you!" he said summoning the Prewett boys to his house. They emerged from the fireplace and their eyes lit up upon seeing Arthur but soon fell when they saw the rage and sadness in Bilius'.
"It's good to see you boys again but look in that pensive there and you'll see why I'm leaving Molly. Look at it before you comment as you won't understand otherwise!" he said as Fabian bristled.
"Arthur it's good to see you and I admire you but I swear to god this had better be good. I love my sister and I swear to god if I don't personally deem this to be good I'll kick your arse from here to kingdom come!" he said entering the pensive and emerging white as a sheet.
"Gideon get in there now! Do not question me just fucking do it! I thought I knew Molly but clearly I never did. I can see you're going for a legal separation and that's all good given what she's done. I told you Gideon don't look at me like that and don't question me either!" he snapped as Gideon came out of his stupor entering the pensive and emerged looking shocked to the core.
"Don't even speak to me right now ok. I need to process what I've seen and that will take me a while for sure. You should know I'm married to Olivia and we have four children Clara, Sonya, Frederica and Persephone. We will all be coming home to England now and it's all been arranged. I'll come back to the DMLE along with Fabian. We have a house arranged. Fabian tell them about your family!" he said as he sat back in shock.
"I guess I should yes. I'm sorry Arthur this has all been such a shock. We actually planned our return but didn't think we'd be returning to such chaos. My wife is called Alice and we have six children. They are Billy, Lucius, Amelia, Ronaldo, Neville and Lewis. Bilius here should probably tell you about his life if he hasn't already!" he said as Arthur smiled. They had clearly built up families here and they were all happy to be able to come home. Molly would get a sure shock from them when they returned and it wouldn't be pretty. The fact that Arthur didn't always have the best of everything did not excuse their sister stealing from Harry Potter no less.
"Yes brother my wife is Sophia. We have seven children. It would seem I take after you there. They are called Hannah, Arianna, Sam, James, Sirius, Jonathan and Elias. We will be coming home too and we will be living in dad's old manor for now until we can buy our own place. All of our kids are super excited to be going home and they know both Spanish and English so they will integrate there well. I love you brother!" he said kissing his cheek and tearing up as all four of them embraced. He left with them to meet their families before he would return home with them the next day. They had years' worth of catching up to do and he was just delighted to have his brother back. It felt like his heart was at last complete again after the disasters of recent times.
