On the day of the Quidditch match Harry and Heather woke early and enjoyed breakfast in the quiet great hall. As more people entered the reactions were very varied. Some avoided the twins others came over and wished Harry luck. Harry would barley answer, as the room was filling his appetite dwindled.
Harry was glad when Wood came over and told him they were headed to the pitch for their pre match talk. His pre match talk was long and the Weasley twins enjoyed speaking what he was going to say before he said it much to his annoyance.
The match was against Slytherin and their new brooms were definitely helping them stay ahead in this match. The rain was coming down hard and it was not helping harry find the snitch.
As Harry saw the snitch he was attacked by a Bludger this was normal in Quidditch except this one would not stop following him.
The Gryffindor crowd was furious that someone had tampered with the Bludger. Harry spent so much time dodging the Bludger he had no idea what was going on in the match, he was also struggling to search for the Snitch as performed some rather excellent aerial acrobatics to dodge the Bludger.
Wood who was getting slightly annoyed the game was taking so long called time out.
It was then he found out just what was happening. Unfortunately not much could be done.
They went back into the sky with Fred and George trying their best to ignore the rogue Bludger.
While searching for the Snitch harry had sat still to long and the Bludger collided with his arm breaking it. At that moment Heather felt his pain and cried a little causing a few people to look at her.
Harry had just seen the Snitch and chose to ignore his pain he went into a dive his arm was throbbing and he had to try hard to ignore the pain. He caught the Snitch and won the match, the whole team flew to harry hugging him causing him more pain.
Heather pulled them all off Harry as Fred and George tackled the Bludger. Unfortunately Lockhart was the first teacher to arrive. Ignoring Harry's protests not to help him he cast a spell on Harry's arm and all the bones vanished causing Heather to scream and many others around to turn away nearly losing their lunch.
Minerva was furious when she saw what had happened and quickly got harry to the Hospital wing. Heather followed close behind which no one protested. The rest of the Quidditch team went to celebrate in the tower.
Harry was given a nasty potion called Skele-Gro it made his arm tingle rather uncomfortably. The potion burned Harry's Mouth and throat as he drank it making him cough and splutter nearly losing the potion.
Madam Pomfrey let Heather stay but only because Minerva asked her to, Minerva and Madam Pomfrey seemed to be quite good friends and it was working in the twins favour right now.
Late that night Harry woke with a feeling he was being watched he looked around for the cause he then saw a house elf sitting on the bed looking up at him. The elf looked at him with his Tennis ball eyes.
Harry shook Heather and covered her mouth when she shrieked in shock. After a second she asked Harry to let go and they looked at the elf.
"What are you doing on our bed?"Harry asked rather calmly.
"And who are you?" Heather added before the elf could speak.
"I is being Dobby Miss, Dobby has come to get Miss Potter and Mr Potter to go home there is dark schemes at work at Hogwarts this year. Dobby has tried many times to get you both to leave but you is finding ways to stay"
"You closed the barrier didn't you" Heather stated a bit louder than she meant to, this caused harry to squeeze her hand and she knew she was to loud.
"I bet you were the one who interfered with Hedwig too?"
The elf nodded his eyes suddenly looking sad.
"It is true Master Potter and Miss Potter. I is being responsible for both of those things. Dobby thought he could keep yous' away but you somehow broke through my magic"
Harry was suddenly annoyed. "You better get out of here before my bones grow back Dobby"
To Harry and Heather's surprise the elf did not move.
"Dobby is used to threats he gets them six times a day at home"
This made Harry deflate and Heather reach out and hug the elf. This made the elf looked at her with shock apparent in his eyes. Before he could act however Heather let go so he wouldn't aparate with her.
"Dobby why are you wearing that loincloth?" Heather asked confused.
"It is a mark of a house elf in slavery miss"
"Right but we have house elves too but they do not wear rags" Harry replied
"Not all house elves is treated well Master Harry, most would consider being nice to an elf very odd indeed.
"That's horrible" Heather almost shouted but caught herself.
Dobby looked a bit embarrassed and decided that he should get back on topic.
"Harry Potter and Heather Potter must leave Hogwarts it is not safe"
"We will not leave Dobby this is our home"
As Dobby was about to reply they all heard the doors open, Dobby disappeared and the twins led down pretending to be asleep.
It turned out to be Albus and Minerva who came in they were levitating the body of a student.
They found out that it was Colin who had been attacked. Heather cried silently it was only a matter of time someone they knew would be attacked but it still hurt.
Everyone in the room was sad to find out that Colin didn't manage to take a picture of the attacker. The film had apparently burst into smoke when they tried to remove the film. The twins could faintly smell burnt plastic.
The twins took some time to fall asleep after hearing what they had heard. Harry silently wondered if people would still think him the Heir after someone from his house was attacked.
He found out the next morning that people did still think it was him and was sad to see a few people who had not before now did too he heard comments such as "He was always annoyed at Colin who always wanted to take his picture i bet he did it to get him out of the way"
The first time Heather had heard this she sent a stinging hex at the person who had said it. This did not go down well with McGonagall and she took 15 points from her and said she was disappointed McGonagall being disappointed hurt Heather more than the points loss and that night she went into McGonagall's study and apologised promising to stay calm.
Ginny seemed to be pretty badly affected by the attack on her classmate but she would not let the Potters comfort her. This left the Potter's wondering if she believed the rumours and left Heather very sad.
In Their next potions lesson something happened that shocked both Heather and Harry a firework Seemingly thrown by Ron landed in Goyle's potion. This made Snape angrier than anyone had seen him in quite a while.
Heather noticed Hermione slip away and come back before Snape could notice she could only assume that it was part of their plan to catch Malfoy but she made no effort to find out.
"If I ever find out who threw this i will have you expelled" When Snape said this he looked directly at Harry and Ron. As his eyes caught Ron's Harry had the distinct impression Snape was using Legilimency. But he could not prove it and so kept his thoughts to himself. Well and Heather who had been listening to his thoughts.
As they approached the great hall for dinner they saw a notice and a sign up sheet for a duelling club. Both the twins signed up right away. The first meeting was to be that night.
When they arrived the twins stood near Ron and Hermione a little awkwardly, the problem was they knew hexing each other would knot work so they would have to put aside their anti social behaviour during these meetings.
Hermione hugged them both, happy they were talking to them at least for now. Ron was not pleased though he was pretty annoyed that Harry and Heather was pushing them out.
They suddenly felt a lot less excited about the duelling club when Lockhart introduced himself as the instructor, they felt even less excited when he introduced Snape as his assistant.
They had a very quick Duel and Snape put Lockhart on his ass in less than a second using a Disarming spell Called Expelliarmus.
Harry, Heather and Hermione would remember that one. As the night went on Harry was forced to duel Malfoy, they traded a few spells before Malfoy summoned a snake. When the snake went to attack a boy named Justin Harry told the snake not to.
This made everyone certain he was the Heir being able to talk to snakes was considered a very dark gift and the most famous Parselmouth was Salazar Slytherin himself. The fact this gift was considered dark made both twins feel apprehensive and so with trepidation they headed to see McGonagall.
McGonagall who had not seen much of her charges welcomed them in and hugged them both rather tightly but both returned the hug then sat together. McGonagall noticed they were sitting closed than they used to Heather was practically in Harry's lap though he did not seem to mind at all she would question them about this later.
"We found out at the duelling club that were both Parselmouth, I told a snake Malfoy conjured to not attack the Hufflepuff Justin. Now even more people think we are Slytherin's Heir" As Harry said this McGonagall seemed to realise this was something the twins were feeling apprehensive about.
She studied them before answering. "Well Salazar lived thousands of years ago so you could be his Heir though i doubt it since you're already the Gryffindor Heir. But even if you were that doesn't have to be a bad thing. We choose who we want to be and how we act, being able to talk to snakes does not make you evil just like being able to talk to lions would not make you good"
Harry felt a tear form in his eye at McGonagall's words, she had definitely squashed some of the negative thoughts the twins were having.
"How do we deal with people blaming us? We cannot keep avoiding people Tonight we saw just how much it is hurting Hermione and Ron. I also remembered how I felt when Ginny cut us out."
Harry himself had not thought about that and felt a pang of guilt as he realised what his sister was very true. Sensing his guilt Heather squeezed his hand.
Minerva took her time thinking of how to answer this question.
"Unfortunately as hard as it is for you both you will not change the minds of those around you without concrete proof it is not you and short of locking you up we would struggle to prove it. Just know that i believe that it is not you two and neither do most of the teachers"
The twins talked until they were too sleepy to talk anymore, McGonagall felt like a weight had been lifted off her heart as she got a chance to talk with the twins. Before she knew it Heather was asleep in Harry's lap not wanting to move her Harry slept on McGonagall's couch. This made McGonagall laugh a little before she went to bed herself.
After a private breakfast the twins left to find Ron and Hermione. They found their two friends sitting in the common room and when they approached them Ron looked away in a huff.
Hermione was more than willing to give their friends a chance.
Leaving Ron in the common room Hermione followed them into their room upstairs. The twins made sure not to sit to close and waited to see if Hermione would say anything when she did not the twins shared an uncomfortable look.
"Hermione we have been Idiots pushing you away like we did. Heather had tears in her eyes as she spoke.
"We let our anger at everyone else control our actions towards others we really are sorry" Harry finished off for his sister. Hermione had a fer tears of her own hugged her friends and accepted their apology.
"Ron will come round he is just being a prat" The twins and Hermione spent the next half hour reading with each other and just enjoying each others company.
That night Minerva got an unexpected visit from Amelia Bones right away Minerva could see that Amelia was not happy.
"There was a Wizengamot meeting today and Albus came. He has petitioned to the council that Harry and Heather become wards of Hogwarts. Being Dumbledore there was little opposition.
I have stalled it for now but you, Harry and Heather will need to attend a formal Ministry hearing on December the nineteenth"
At Amelia's words Minerva broke down in anger and upset. Amelia hugged her trying to calm Minerva down. It took ten minutes for Minerva to calm down.
"What can we do in this situation?"
"Well the first thing we need is to write a defence, we could definitely get a leg up if we mention that Dumbledore neglected to check on the safety of the Potter's. However if we do it will become public knowledge something Harry and Heather wanted to remain secret"
"They cannot be allowed to be placed in Albus' care i don't doubt the man thinks he is doing right but he does not care for the children the way a guardian should"
Amelia agreed and the two spent a lot of time discussing their defence they talked well into the early hours before Amelia excused herself yawning as she left. The next morning the twins were not the only people taking notice of just how tired Minerva looked. In her lessons she was quieter than usual and when the day was done, she went to bed unusually early.
When the twins woke they shared a long hug something the two had recently started when they woke. They went straight to McGonagall's office both had noticed just how tired she looked yesterday and it worried them.
After they were filled in the twins left feeling very sombre. They made their way to the Library where there mood was not made any better. Huddled in the corner was a group of Hufflepuff's they had been talking in very low voices to each other.
"I told Justin to hide up in our dormitory. I mean to say if he is being targeted"
The boys face went pale as he saw the two Potters turn the corner, he received a very dark look off of Heather and the twins left very mad. When they stomped out they were heading out into the grounds, the snow had fallen hard so they assumed they would not be disturbed out there.
As they walked down into a corridor a few floors down Harry tripped over a boy they recognised as Justin led on the floor. Harry was confused and looked back it was clear he had been attacked. Heather screamed in fear and helped Harry up so she could hug him.
"ATTACK! ANOTHER ATTACK! NO MORTAL OR GHOST IS SAFE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Peeves' shout made the twins look around and that's when they saw Nearly Headless Nick.
"What can petrify a ghost?" Heather asked.
Many doors burst open in the corridors and students started piling out to see what was going on. The majority of the students had come out of McGonagall's classroom.
"All students will leave right now if you were in my class report to your common room and I expect you to study. Potter's come with me please"
McGonagall led them to Dumbledore, None of them wanted to go and see that man but McGonagall insisted Dumbledore needed to be informed. When they first arrived Dumbledore was not there. Next to the desk was a beautiful bird both twins went over to pet if captivated by it's beautiful form.
That was until it burst into flames, Harry stepped back alarmed and heather shrieked and was pulled into a hug by Minervea.
"That's Dumbledore's Phoenix when it is time to die they burst into flames and are reborn from the ashes"
Heather leaned into the hug just as Dumbledore walked in. He looked at the twins with his usual penetrating stare.
"Minerva you need not stay they are not in trouble I merely wish to speak to them"
The twins looked at McGonagall pleading her to stay. She was shooting daggers at Dumbledore and it was a few moments before she spoke.
"As the Potter's Legal guardian I am allowed to accompany them to meetings with the Head Master"
"While that is true that is something I wish to discuss with the Potter's in today's meeting"
Dumbledore's look was impossible to read but the twins got the impression that both he and McGonagall were having a very silent fight to control the situation.
McGonagall seemed to win for Dumbledore let out a huge sigh and turned to look at the twins instead. "Harry Heather i know that you are not responsible for the attacks so you need not worry. What we do need to discuss here before you go home in a few days is your living arrangement both in school and out"
The twins wondered if Dumbledore would address them sharing a room in school, they also knew about the meeting that Dumbledore was talking about but chose to feign ignorance.
"I'm not sure we understand what you mean Professor" Harry said taking some pleasure in Dumbledore's surprise he was sure McGonagall would have told them.
The meeting with Dumbledore was long as he tried to rationalise his reason for pulling them away from the closest thing to family they had ever seen. He went on and on about how they would be safe and secure and yes they would see their friends less but he would make sure they had things that they could do.
After an hour the twins left, McGonagall was just as mad as the twins were and led them to her private Quarters where they all spent the night relaxing, Listening to the wireless Wizarding network. When the twins fell asleep together McGonagall went to bed to.
