Fred and Gorge were more excited then anything it was their first day at Hogwarts. They were finally going to be sorted into Gryffindor. Charly was in his 7th year and Percy was in his 2nd year both of them were in Gryffindor. As had both of their parents and all of their grandparents they just could not go to another house. They both knew their parents thought they were screw-ups. They were not as smart as pursy or as brave as Charly or as magically powerful as Bill. They were not best friends with the girl who lives like Ron. And Ginny was the only girl and was a favourite for the fact that she was a girl. No in school they would prove themselves.
The train ride to the school had gone well if a little quiet. The twins had sat alone for the whole ride talking to one another about the upcoming year.
Now they were finally standing in the great hall waiting to be sorted. They watched as the others in their year where each sorted into their new houses. Finally, they where at the W and then "Fred Wesley" was called.
Fred smiled at his brother and walked up to the stool. Giving a smile to the Gryffindor table he put the hat on. "Oh another Wesley!" said the hat "now let's see, oh nothing like your brothers I see. A want to prove yourself. I see Nothing is ever good enuff is it, but don't worry one day it all will be. But there is only one house for that Slytherin!" the hat called out.
The room was deadly quiet. Fred took off the hat and handed it to Pro. Merogonial. She took the hat and gave him a little look showing that she didn't know what to think.
Fred got off the stool and slowly walked over to the Slytherin table. Sitting down at the end of the table all alone.
Gorge was the next called up. The hat looked into his mind for only a moment before calling Slytherin. Gorge went and joined his brother the two held on to one another's hands not saying a word.
The feast was quiet and not much was said, to either of the twins. At the end of the meal, they followed the prefects out down into the dungeons and into their new comen-room. They sat with the rest of their house listening as they all talked around them waiting for Prof. Snape their head of house to come and speak to them. As he gave the speech Fred and Gorge barley listened to him. They were then shown to their room where they each got undressed and climbed into bed not giving the others in their room a single glance.
The next morning at breakfast the twins still held onto one another. Still, no one spoke to them not that they would have responded even if they had. Neither twin had said a word since being sorted. Owls came into the grate hall dropping letters off students. They saw a couple of the other first years at their table get big packages with a "congratulation for making Slytherin on them." They should have been getting one of those just for Gryffindor instead. But no they did not receive anything like that. Instead, each had a letter dropped onto their plates with the Greengots seal on them. The twins looked at one another opening their letters slowly they read thru them. They both said almost the exact same thing only with their names being different.
Dear Mister Fred/Gorge
This letter is being sent to you to inform you that you are now a word of the ministry. Due to circumstances Mister and Misses Wesley will no longer be your caretaker.
Greengots bank will send you more information as is needed.
From
Nose Hook
Gringotts bank
The twins looked to one another after reading the letter over a number of times. They had been taken out of the Wesley family. They no longer had the last name. They no longer had a family.
The twins went to each of their classes, in each class during roll call they were called only by their first name no last name was said. When a teacher was speaking to them they were called Mister Fred or Mister Gorge. Some of the tracks accidentally called them Mister Wesley only for one of the twins to correct them by informing them they were no longer part of the Wesley family.
At one point the ran into Pursy, they said hello to him but the prat only stuck his nose in the air and said: "I do not associate with people like you." Charly would smile sadly at them and walk away never saying anything.
The other Slytherin's where nice to the twins but they preferred to stay alone not talking to anyone. Halloween came and went still the twins not talking, and before they knew it Christmas was upon them. The twins didn't talk to anyone, the didn't go to quittech games and hardly ever went to meals. They showed up to each class and had amazing marks in all of their classes, not that they had anyone to show their marks to except each other.
Today the twins watched from one of the higher windows. They could see all the other students walking down the hill over to Hogsmeet to get on the train and go home for the holidays. They could see Charly and Pursy walking with the others smiling and laughing. They wished that was them.

Severus Snape had watched the twins all semester. When they had first been sorted into his house he was expecting to have to hand out a lot of detentions and deal with a lot of problems. Instead, the two boys never said a word. Only speaking in class when asked, not being seen outside of the classroom. Sometimes they did even show up to meals. The boys had made no friends and talked to no one. Even in the common room when doing group projects the boys would sit quietly and get their work done. Only speaking to others when necessary.
By the beginning of November Severus was scared for the boys. He had hired storeys about the two of them. How they were always smiling and laughing. Playing games and got along with everyone. Severus could see how smart they where you only had to look at their grades to know how smart they were. From hearing storeys to seeing the way they acted he could tell this was not normal. There was also the fact that they no longer had the last name. Showing they had become words of the ministry. Due to this Severus was expected to keep a close eye on them and report all of this to their caseworker. The women didn't seem to care about the boys at all. It bugged Severus that she had never actually asked to meet the boys. She would come to talk to him for about 20min and then leave. They meat the first week of every month to talk about the boys.
It was now the first day of the winter vacation. She had sent him two presents one for each of the boys. Now they would each have one thing to open Christmas morning. Severus could tell that the boys would be happy to have something but he knew it was not enuff.
Severus watched as the two boys watched the others go to the train. They where the only Slytherin staying for the brake and he would do everything he could to help them feel at home. Going into his privet chambers Severus went to the floo called out for Malfoy Manner and stepped thru into the front hall. Walking thru the manner he went to Lucus office.
"Enter" Lucius called as soon as he knocked on the door. Walking into the room Lucius looked up "Severus what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you about two of my snakes," Severus told him
"and witch two is that?"
"The twins," Severus told him
"Yes, I have heard about them."
"they are the only Slytherin left at the school, and I was invited to stay here with you which I would like to do. The only problem is I can not leave them behind." Severus told him
"So really what you are saying is, you have taken a liking to the boys and want to bring them home like they are puppy's," Severus asked a smile on his face
Severus side "Yes I want to bring them home. I thought about bringing them to one of my property but I felt that if I bring them here then they would have Draco to play with and that might help them feel more at home here." Severus told him
"I think it is a great idea. Have you talked with their case worker?"
"I asked her about me taking the boys for the holidays she said there would be no problems with that."
"wonderful then I will expect the three of you for dinner tonight. Ill have your room prepared and a room made up for the boys." Lucius said with a smile
Severus then left going back to the school to find the boys. They were sitting in the common room speaking quietly to one another. Severus walked up to the boys and sat across from them. "Hello, Fred Gorge," Severus said with a little smile
"Hello, Profesor." The boys said together
"I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things. Why don't we start with something simple… I am going to take the two of you with me away from the school for the Christmas holidays. We will be staying at Malfoy manner. You obviously have a choice in this we don't have to go if you would not like to." Severus told them
"That is very nice of you professor." One of the boys said
"but we would not want to be a burden," said the other
"you would not be a burden." Severus assured them "I am inviting you to come because I would like you to come. You see, I have no children of my own and when I look at both of you I see myself when I was your age. I wish that when I was your age someone would have done this for me, so instead, I will do this for you. and in doing this for you I get to know what it feels like to have children of my own even if it's just for a little bit."
The twins sat looking at one another for a little bit. The both gave little smiles to their Profesor and together they responded: "we would like to feel part of a family again even if it's just for a little bit."
"Wonderful! Then why don't you two go pack and come to my office we will leave as soon as you are ready." Severus told them standing up and leaving the room with a smile on his face.

Arriving at Malfoy Manner they where greeted by the small family. As soon as the twins were out of the floo the where jumped on by an 8-year-old Draco Malfoy. "My mom and dad said you're going to stay with us for the holidays! That makes me so happy! Normally it's just me mom dad and Uncle Sev. Now I'm going to have you to play with and I won't be all alone!" Draco told them excitedly jumping up and down "Come on dinner won't be for a little bit lets go play." Draco then provided by taking each of their hands and dragging them off down the hall and into his bedroom.
The twins sat with Draco and played games with him until it was dinner time. They found that they liked Draco his was fun and full of energy. He reminded them of themselves before they had gone to Hogwarts.
After dinner, Draco dragged them off once again. Latte that night Severus and Lucius went to tell the children it was time for bed. Only for them to find the three boys in Draco's room curled up to one another on the bed.
The next couple of days continued like this. The boys would only show up for meals then run off to play again. Severus let the children keep to themselves most of the time but insisted that the twins went for a walk with him every morning before breakfast. During this walk, he would listen as they told him all about what they had done the night before, how Hogwarts was and how they wanted a family.
Once during one of these walks, the twins were walking just ahead of him. They were telling him about wanting a family. After a moment of silence, he heard one of the twins say "I wish Prof. Snape was our dad." Severus pretended he didn't hear what they had said but he had hired them and he wondered to his self 'why not?'
Before they knew it the Malfoy ball was only a day away. Narcissa had arranged for the twins to be fitted for some dress robes. Throughout the time that the twins had been there, they had been taught some basic edict skills that they would put into practice at the ball. After being fitted Severus came and asked them to join him in the Ballroom. The room was mostly decorated and house elves were in the room doing some last minute touch-ups. Severus had been away for the morning the twins didn't know where.
Severus spent the morning teaching the twins how to dance. Severus would dance with one twin than the other then had them dance together with him following behind them. The twins were fast to learn and by the end of the night, they could dance almost perfectly.
At the ball, Severus was glad to see the twins were doing such an amazing job. They were polite and asked young girls to dance. They both danced with Narcissa and where their charming young selves.

By Christmas morning the twins were more then comfier in Malfoy Manner. The ran to Draco's room, jumping on his bed they woke him up. Not long after waking him they were jumping on Severus's bed to wake him up as well.
The twins were more than surprised by the number of presents they received. Many of the Slytherins had given them something small with a card saying that they hoped the twins would start talking to more of them and come out of their shell. The ministry had sent them each a gift, Fred got a pair of sneakers, and Gorge got a pair of gloves. The Malfoy family had gotten each of the boys some new clothing, books, and much more. Severus was the one to really go above and beyond, he had gotten them new prank times from the joke shop. A new kit for potions making and the promise that the boys could spend their Sunday afternoons with him browsing if they had gotten their school work done. The very last gift that the boys received was a piece of paper that Severus handed them.
The tow boys read thru the paper not really understanding what they were reading. At the bottom of the page, there was a spot for them to sing. "What is this?" one of the twins asked
Severus smiled at them "If you sign your names here at the bottom I will have officially adopted you." Severus was nervous that the boys would say no but either way, they were still going to be in his care as he had signed up to be their foster parent. This would just make it so they had his last name.
"You mean you want to adopt us?" Asked the other twin
"I already see you as mine. If you sign it you will have my last name, I can not blood adopt you as I am not married." Severus told them
The twins smiled to one another and quickly signed their names on the dotted line. The paper flashed a white light and then disappeared to the ministry. The twins both then jumped onto the armchair that Severus was sitting on. Now Severus had one twin on both of his knees. The new little family sat together and hugged for some time The twins then whispered into his ears at the same time "love you dad"
Severus gave them a watery smile and whispered back "love you two, my sons."

When the twins went back to school they were like two new people. The started to get to know the boys in their dorm. They spent time with Severus. They still did well in their classes but now they did other things too. The twins were often found watching the Slytherin Quitech team practice, joking around with their new friends and overall just acting like happy children.
They spent a lot of time in Malfoy manner, after that Christmas. It was like a second home to them. Lucius and Narcissa were named their godparents. Draco became their God brother and one of their closest friends.
Nothing could have been better for them not until the summer before their Forth year when they were finally blood adopted by both Severus and Lily Snape.
