Chapter 22: The End

Tabitha and Matilda had almost forgotten that the exams results were still to come, but come they did. Hermione and Terry tied for top marks of the first years. Euterpe and Michael tied for second, and Morrissey got third best marks. The twins, to their surprise, got forth best, and even Neville made the top ten, thanks to his amazing Herbology score.

And suddenly, their wardrobes were empty, their trunks were packed, Trevor was found lurking in a corner of the toilets; notes were handed out to all students warning them not to use magic over the holidays ("I always hope they'll forget to give us these," said Fred sadly); Hagrid was there to take them down to the fleet of boats that had sailed across the lake; they were boarding the Hogwarts express; talking and laughing while all the friends (plus five Ravenclaws) ate Bertie Botts Beans as they sped past Muggle towns, and then they were pulling into platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross station.

It took a while for them all to get of the platform. A wizened old guard was up by the ticket barrier, letting them go through the gates in twos and threes so they didn't attract attention by all bursting out of a solid wall at once and alarming the Muggles.

"You all have to come and stay this summer," said Ron, "I'll send you an owl."

"Thanks," said Tabitha. "We'll need something to look forward to."

People called to them as they waited:

"By Tabitha, Matilda!"

"See you, Potter!"

"Still famous." Said Millie, grinning at them.

"Not where we're going, I promise you," said Matilda.

The twins and Ron passed through the barrier together, followed by the others three by three.

"Tabitha! Matilda!" cried Ginny, running forward to hug them.

"Hi Ginny," the girls said at once.

Mrs. Weasley came over to them and smiled.

"Busy year?"

"Very," answered Tabitha.

"Thanks for the fudge and the sweaters, Mrs. Weasley." Matilda said.

"Oh, it was nothing, dears." She smiled.

"Ready, are you?"

It was Uncle Vernon, still purple-faced, still mustached, still looking furious at the nerve of the twins, carrying one owl and two sloths in cages in a station full of normal people. Behind him stood Aunt Petunia and Dudley, looking terrified at the very sight of the twins. They grinned.

"You must be Tabitha's and Matilda's family!" said Mrs. Weasley cheerfully, holding out a hand.

"In a manner of speaking," said Uncle Vernon, ignoring Mrs. Weasleys offered hand, which clearly offended her. She huffed. "Hurry up, girls, we haven't got all day." He walked away.

The twins hung back, hugging all Ron, Hermione, Aaric, Neville, Millie, Euterpe, Morrissey, Mandy, Morag, and Terry and Michael (though they blushed terribly at this).

"See you over the summer, then," said Tabitha.

"Hope you have – er – a good holiday." Said Hermione, looking uncertainly at Uncle Vernon, shocked that anyone could be so unpleasant.

The girls shared a look, grinning.

"Oh, we will," said Matilda, grinning.

"They don't know we're not allowed to do magic at home."

With that they were off, to – what the twins thought– was going to be a very humorous holiday.

Answers to all reviews:

The Submarauder: Thank you very much! I have done a sequel; the Twins Who Lived and the Chamber of Secrets. It's not finished yet, however.

Not-A-Spy: Thanks...i think? Yes, I hate stories like that too.

Guest: Actually, I do have several mental disabilities, but that has nothing to do with my story. Just because the characters listed are Harry and Hermione does not mean it is a Harry/Hermione pairing, which I'm pretty sure every knows but you. Go ahead and report me, but it won't do a thing.

Wrabbit75, DarkSudi: Thanks; I have fixed the chapters.

Fandals: Oh, is it? You mean similar to nearly every Harry-is-a-twin story out there? Because they all follow the same plot? Because yes, in that case it is. BUT I highly doubt that others had Millicent Bulstrode and a younger brother, and I really don't see how I am copying any story in particular (apart from the main one).

.panda: Thank you. It was a simple ordering mistake that was fixed almost immediately.

OphyBoing: Wow, alright, another long-ago mistake from an american mind. Won't happen again.

Steady Silence: Thank you very much! I'm glad you like them!

dopey4dobby: Thank you so much again!

lilyellowcrayon: Thanks! I just thought it made sense; it's what I would have done, at least...

Thanks once more to everyone who reviewed, favourited, followed, and enjoyed this story! Check out the now-edited sequel, The Twins Who Lived and the Chamber of Secrets!
