So hi. I thought I would give you an image of what the girls look like.
Well Emma looks like Lily a lot. She has features similar to James, such as her nose and her eyes and her eyesight. Mia is just like her twin. Only difference they have is their hair color and style. While Emma has wavy red hair like Lily, Mia has messy black hair like James. Mia also has horrible eyesight and wears glasses.
"So did you enjoy your birthday?" Lily asked as she tucked Emma in her bed.
"Yes I did it was really fun but... I am a little bit upset that Charlie and the other Weasleys couldn't join us." Emma said as she smiled at her mother.
"Well I'm sure they will be here next year." She said as kissed Emma's forehead and went to the other bed to tuck Mia in:
"So Mia did you enjoy your birthday?"
"Mom, do you remember this morning when we went to diagon alley and I went to take a look at the books while Emma was looking at brooms?"
"Yes I do"
"Well I saw Kara."
"And?"
"And after we talked I realized I have question."
"Ok baby. What do you want to know?"
"Promise to tell the truth."
"I will tell the truth." Lily laughed. "Mom where is our father?"
"Huh?"
"You know our dad. I mean Mr. Weasley is Charlie and the other's father. Kara's dad left her mom when he found out that she was pregnant. And there are pictures of dad from when Harry was little but not us. Kara suggests that he left you after you found out you were pregnant with us because we were twins. Is that true?"
Lily was so shocked that she almost fell of the edge of the bed.
"No sweetheart your father did not leave because I was having twins."
"You say he didn't leave because of us . So that means he did leave. Why?"
"Go sit next to your sister and make room for Harry. I will tell you what happened."
Lily went to the room across the hall knocked on the door and peaked in:
"Hi. Is he asleep yet?"
"No. He is busy being jealous because he didn't get any gifts."
"Harry." Lily said as she gave him the " shame on you" look. "We talked about this. You don't get gifts on the girls' birthday just like they don't get gifts on your birthday. Do you see them being upset about that? No, they hug you and buy you a gift with their allowances."
Harry let out a small groan as Sirius said:
"I still don't understand how we decided to give two and a half year old girls allowances!"
"Since one of them was smart enough to start reading when she was two and found out what an allowance was and asked us to give all three of them an allowance of 5 galleons a month."
"Riiiiiiight!"
"So anyway. Harry, honey, come to girls' room. I want to tell a story."
She shot Sirius a knowing glare. "You're coming too. Don't you dare think you can walk away from this. Harry you go on. I need to talk to uncle Padfoot."
Harry went in his sisters' room and sat between them.
"So did you like the things I got you?" Asked Harry.
"Yes I loved the book. "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them". How did you I wanted that?" Asked Mia looking genuinely happy.
"Padfoot mentioned it when I was gift shopping for you the other about you Emma? Did you like my gift?"
"Yes. I love it. It's so cool. I like brooms. Thank you."
"I know its a small one and it's not even a real broom. I mean it only goes four feet high but I..."
"Harry. I love it." Smiled Emma as she put her hand on his trying to reassure him. In the years to come Emma's smile would never change and as the years passed everyone needed her smile every once in a while because it was so pure it would make them feel batter. This smile always reminded people of simpler times and helped them through their problems. Lily and Sirius entered the room with very serious faces.
"So what's this about then?" Asked Harry yawning to show his mom that he is very tired.
"They want to talk to us about dad." Mia said avoiding eye contact with Harry.
"What? Why?"
"Because We were talking to Kara and Emma thought that maybe our dad took off like Kara's did." Mia said with a bitter tone.
"Oh so now the only person you listen to is Kara? how many times did I say that he took off? thousands. But now that Kara says it it becomes the truth. She is the only logic you need."
"Hey. Don't talk to me with that tone. You said it. Kara said it. Emma agrees with you guys. So I thought that since there are three people who believe this theory I should ask mom. Besides Kara is my best friend. Of course when she said it I thought that the idea was worth more consideration."
"Three? Only three? What about you? You think dad was some kind of angel that died fighting the spirits of evil?"
"No. I just think that if he had took off mom and Sirius wouldn't be worshiping him. I think he must have a good reason for not being here. He loved you so much. It's obvious in the pictures. Why would he leave you and us? I also think that if mom and Sirius loved him he must've been a good guy and good guys don't abandon their wives and children."
"Maybe he was a good guy but changed. Maybe they liked him before he took off and now miss the old him. Maybe they loved him so much they don't care about the fact that the prat took off. That doesn't mean that the bastard..."
"That is enough." Said Lily with a hint of danger in her tone that all three were surprised . "First of all, Harry you don't get your allowance this month."
"Why not?" Harry asked.
"Because we don't use that kind of language in this household. Is that clear?"
"Yes." Harry said while thinking about the ways he could strangle his mom in her sleep that night.
"Anyway. I'm going to tell you three a long story. So please don't say anything when I'm talking. This story is really hurtful for me." Lily stopped. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She remembered James' dead body and the promise she made to him the day they buried him. She drew strength from her promise and opened her eyes and started. "There was a wizard who called himself Lord Voldemort. He was a very evil wizard. His sole purpose in this world was to clear the earth from muggleborns and muggles. He gained popularity very soon. The pureblood families who believed that pureblood witches and wizards were more respectable and powerful then muggleborns and had the "pureblood mania" started supporting him and his ideas. After a few years, he had gained so much power that he started to order his followers to kill muggles and muggleborns and blood traitors. Blood traitors are pureblood or halfblood wizards and witches who didn't believe in blood supremacy. So a very powerful wizard named Albus Dumbledore created a resistance against him. The Order Of Phoenix. And to this day no one knows about the Order so you have to keep your mouths shut. Ok?"
They nodded. "Good. Anyway there were many people in the Order fighting Voldemort and his death eaters. Me, your dad, Padfoot, Moony, Your father's other friend Peter, my two best friends Marlene McKonnin and Alice Longbottom and..."
"Alice Longbottom? You were friends with Neville's mom?" Asked Mia as she looked curiously at her mother.
"Yes honey. Anyway somehow after I got pregnant Voldemort thought that Harry was going to defeat him."
"He what?" Emma said as she fell off the edge of her bed.
"For some reason he thought that Harry was going to defeat him. So on Halloween 1981 when Harry was a year and three months old Voldemort came to our house. He asked your father to step aside so he could kill Harry. But your dad refused. So Voldemort...um... got rid of him." Lily said as she felt the tears sting her eyes. She hadn't thought about that night in a long time.
"What does that mean?" Harry asked.
"She means that Voldemort used an unforgivable spell on dad. He used the death curse or "Avada Kevavra" on dad to kill him. That's why he isn't here. Not because mom was having twins. Because he was busy sacrificing his life for you. And this is the thanks he gets, you calling him a bastard." Mia said with grim tone as she looked Harry in the eyes through her blue farmed glasses trying to insert some guilt inside him. Which by the way worked. Harry felt really guilty. He looked at Lily and Sirius with tears in his eyes.
"Do you think he will forgive me for what I said?"
"Of course he will. I bet that James forgave you the moment you said it because you didn't know about this." Sirius said as he smiled at his godson. Emma finally found her brown framed glasses and sat on her bed again and asked.
"Mom isn't the story a little bit short?"
"It is. None of you are old enough to know the full version. I will tell you when you're ready. Okay?"
"Fine." Said Harry. He ran into his room and started crying into his pillow. Mia didn't look bothered at all and that's what bothered Emma the most.
"Are you happy now?" Emma angrily asked Mia.
"He kept shouting at me for listening to Kara. It's not my fault that he blamed dad. So I should just sit back and say nothing when he's wrong or yells at me? He deserved it." Mia replied sounding angry as well.
"But..."
"Girls." Sirius said with a warning tone. Emma pushed Mia off of her bed.
"I need to sleep and I can't do that with you on my bed."
"So you're going to take his side? You always do that. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe sometimes I'm right and he's wrong?" Said Mia from the ground.
"I don't care who's right or who's wrong. You hurt his feelings." Snapped Emma.
"Yeah, well, why don't you care when he hurts mine?" Said Mia as she stood. She turned around so that Emma wouldn't see her tears and she ran downstairs. Emma groaned and said: "I am not saying sorry."
Sirius slowly went to kitchen to find a crying Mia.
"Why is everything always my fault? He gets to say anything he wants but when I get mad and say things I break the rules. How is that even fair?" She mumbled in Sirius chest as he hugged her and kissed her hair saying soothing things to comfort her. After half an hour of crying and sobbing Mia started to calm down. She looked Sirius in the eyes with all her love. She never needed to tell him that she loved him, the look she was giving at the moment was always more than enough. Sometimes she loved Sirius more than her own mom. Somehow every time she looked in his grey eyes she could she an older reflection of herself, a male version of herself someone who understood her more than anyone in the world. Like the father she never had.
Sirius loved Mia very much. Just as much he loved James. He loved the others too but a little less. Even though Harry looked like James facially, Mia was more like him in personality. She had a little bit of an oversized ego because of her intelligence and talent, a prankster spirit that only a marauder could have and a very trusting nature. She always believed that doubting her friends and family's loyalty was the worst kind of betrayal. Even today when everyone around her said that James had taken off due to her and her sisters' existence she didn't give up on James and still believed that there must have been a reason, that James was a good guy. But he didn't love her this much just because she was so much like James he loved her because she was impossible to not love just like James (even Lily couldn't fight it). Even Harry who fought with her at least four times a day adored her. Of course she had Lily's regard for reading and studying. But besides that she was James spitting image in personality and behavior. After a few seconds of looking into her hazel eyes, he ruffled her already messed up black jet hair and said "What are you thinking about?"
"I feel like if I tell you you might think I'm going crazy." She said with a hint of fear in her tone .
"You know I could never do that Mia. What's bothering you?"
"I think I see the past!"
"What do you mean?"
"Tonight when mom was telling the story I saw one or two scenes that I'm sure were from the past."
"Like what?"
"Well I saw a boy looking exactly like Harry about 15 or 16. He had black hair, was very tall, muscular and was holding a broomsrtick in his hand. Next to him were three other boys about the same age. One of them had long black hair, was just as tall as the first one and had a big bat in his hand. The other one had a few scars on his face, was about a quarter of an inch shorter than the two black haired boys and was trying to read a book over the noise those two boys made. And the last one was a lot shorter than them and had fear written all over his face." She took a deep breath and continued.
"Like I said the tall boys were making noise. The noise was from laughing. They were laughing at this tall boy who had greasy hair and a big and a bit crocked nose that was bleeding. There was blood on the grass so I'm guessing the boy had tripped over and broken his nose. But I also felt this anger. Like I wanted to strangle the boys that were laughing."
"What else?"
"Well the second scene was in a room. I saw three people there. A hooded figure ,A man just like Harry on his knees and a baby in a crib looking amazed. I felt this fear inside me. Like I was going to die of fear. I think the man was dad and the baby was Harry."
"Really?" A miniature Lily said as she fell to ground. She had tripped over her own feet. Probably because she didn't have her glasses on.
"Were you eavesdropping?" Mia said with her face clear of any emotion. A power she had inherited from Lily. A very useful one.
"Yes well no. I didn't mean to. I wanted to come inside when you were done talking to Sirius. But you kept talking and I..."
"Did you hear me cry?" Mia said sounding like the little girl she was.
"Yes I came down stairs the moment Sirius left our room."
"Why?"
"Because I love you. Because I am sorry. You had the right to be angry. I'm sorry. Sometimes I jump into conclusions. I'm..."
"Stop babbling." Mia said smiling. She got out of Sirius lap and hugged her twin sister. Emma was exactly like Lily. Standing up for those who were weak, kind hearted like no other and as Remus would say it, saw the beauty in others when no one could. She was the person who tamed Kreacher. She was so kind to him that all those swears he muttered under his breath were gone by the time the girls turned 4. Right now Kreacher was friends with the kids and didn't call Lily a mudblood or Sirius a blood traitor.
Somehow Emma had changed him. He called them Mistress Emma Mistress Mia Master Harry Master black(not his first name, didn't like Sirius that much yet.) and Mistress muggleborn ( it was better than mudblood.)
When the girls broke their hug Emma said:
"I'm so sorry. I just sometimes think that he feels alone and that I should take his side. You know since he doesn't have a twin like you and me."
"I get it. I got irrationally mad too. I was trying to break him. I was mad. Sorry."
The girls smiled at each other.
"Anyway Sirius, why can Mia see the past?"
"I don't know but I will take her to the ministry tomorrow and figure it out. Don't you worry about her."
"Hey I need to get upstairs and I don't have my glasses." Emma said looking embarrassed. Mia laughed. "Ok I'll help you. Come on let's go I should sleep too."
"Love you."
"Love you too sis."
"Hey Sirius." the girls said at the same time.
"Yes girls"
"Good night." They said smiling then kissed his cheeks and ran upstairs. Sirius smiled to himself touching his cheeks.
Lily came to the kitchen saying "it took a while to calm Harry."
and Sirius told her what happened with Emma and Mia. "You know Lils, if Emma didn't have James' hazel eyes or crazy mania for quidditch I would say that she isn't James' daughter. Because besides these two traits she is just like you." Lily laughed.
"I will take her to the ministry tomorrow Red. Don't you dare worry." He kissed her forehead.
