Half an hour later a house elf came to let them know Harry and Tom had arrived along with Hermione, Daphne, Luna, Draco, and Ron. the same Elf was kind enough to let me know that Neville and Blaise had sent their regards, but that there was a problem in Neville's main greenhouse so he and Blaise wouldn't be able to join us for a few days as Neville's plants needed round the clock care until the issue was resolved
I Led the Cullens down to the lounge as Jasper had to Pry Alice out of my closet. After introductions were made and hugs were distributed. I decided that we needed an Ice breaker. And so, I sat up straighter, a signal to all my magical friends that I wanted to speak. Their eyes immediately snapped to me, and the Cullens mirrored their actions.
"Ok, so, I think we should all start by telling the Cullens about our years at Hogwarts. Starting with Second-year as I already told them about First-year," i said. As I sat on my brother's knee. I knew to some outsiders who didn't know our history would find my sitting there odd, but the Cullens understood, they had seen my memories, despite being held in the same conditions as Harry, I had always been smaller than him.
More so now that he had grown a few inches since we last saw each other. So whenever I was hurt he would take care of me, he would sit me on his knee as i leaned against him and bandage me up with whatever was available, which was usually the oldest of Dudley's shirts, that was until we began stealing gauze and gauze tape from the nurse's office at school and hid them in our cupboard.
Now it was just something that comforted us, it reminded us that we were still together. That we still depended on each other to a certain extent. Our friends didn't care, they knew as well. And i suspected Riddle had been told as he didn't even bat an eyelash. "I second that vote, it gives me time to perfect my big brother speech," Harry said.
"I'm older than you by two minutes and thirty seconds." I reminded him in faux irritation. He waved me off with a dismissive shrug "Details, Details, besides, according to ministry records I'm older." Harry said. I Glowered at him. "That's only because Dad forgot who was born first and guessed when he registered our births rather than admit to mum that he forgot!" i hissed playfully.
Harry huffed. "Well then why do I have all the titles?" he asked. as if he didn't know. I rolled my eyes. "Because I didn't want the ladyships and threatened to castrate you when you suggested we tell the goblins so the right twin would be made head of the family," i said patiently. Our friends rolled their eyes at our antics. "Ok, off-topic you two, I think we can all agree to tell the Cullens about our Hogwarts years," Hermione said.
The others nodded though Riddle looked resigned. He didn't like being reminded of all the times he tried to kill me and Harry, he still blamed himself for our childhood, which was stupid considering if Dumbledore hadn't interfered we would have been living with Sirius. I batted away the sadness that welled up inside me at the thought of our godfather who was still in a coma,
though I still hoped he would wake up soon. Though I knew he was in good hands, after Harry and Tom had gotten together they moved him from Potter manor where he had been staying while being looked after by Andromeda Tonks. Now Andy and Healer Bluemoon, Tom's top healer were trying to break him free of his coma
I smiled. "So, Second-year, we should begin with how Ron, Harry, and I flew a car to school," I said with a wide grin. the Cullens leaned forward eagerly, probably hoping to hear a story where we weren't being viciously abused, well. I wasn't going to Disappoint.
~Flashback~
"Are you mad? Are you two completely and absolutely mad? Fly the car to Scotland? Do you want to see us expelled!?! That might not matter to you Ronald Weasley, but if Harry and I are expelled than we go straight back to Durskaban! Or did you forget that!?! I hissed. Both Harry and Ron paled. They looked like they hadn't thought of that.
"Well, we-we've got to get there somehow, yeah? I still think taking the car's our only option, but if we do get caught, I'll take the blame, say I bullied you into it." Ron offered.
I bit my lip. if we all did this, I didn't want Ron to take all the heat when we got caught, and I knew we would, we always got caught. Then I remembered something from last year and a slow smile spread across my face. "Alright, we'll take the car but when -yes when not if- we get caught, let me handle it, I've got a plan," I said. Both boys readily agreed and with that, we were off.
Thankfully Ron remembered the invisibility booster, and hours later after much nervousness and mumblings about boys being idiots, we made it safely to Hogwarts.
unfortunately, we hit a bit of a snag called the Whomping Willow. And somehow Ron managed to break his wand after we got away. He also managed to annoy me in five seconds flat. A new record. "My wand! Look at my wand!" he moaned despondently. "Oh shut it! Be thankful it's not your neck!" i snapped.
After a few minutes of hauling our luggage up to the entrance, i was proven right, because standing there was professor Snape. I mentally cheered, Snape always preferred me, even over his Slytherins, McGonagall had privately told me it was because of the likeness to my mother, despite my Jet black hair, it was just easier for him to see James in Harry because he was a boy, despite the fact that we truly were identical.
Once in his office, I didn't even give him the chance to call us Dunderheads before I began my oscar worthy performance, unaware that McGonagall and Dumbledore had come in. I burst into tears, much to the shock of everyone in the room.
"I'm so sorry professor, I panicked, it was my idea to take the car, the boys wanted to try the barrier again! It had closed on us and we didn't know why because it hadn't even turned 11 yet! I was worried about missing the train and having to go back to our horrid relatives, I was practically in hysterics by the time these two agreed to my plan!
I'm so sorry! I thought we could arrive safely, everything was going fine but then it all went haywire! The invisibility booster broke, we weren't sure if we were going the right way so we had to leave the cloud bank now and again, then we crashed onto the ground, got attacked by the Whomping Willow, Ron broke his wand and it's all my fault!" I sobbed
. Though inwardly i was cackling, last year I had discovered quite by accident that Snape had a weakness when i cried. The twins had tricked me into trying their 'Crying Crepes' I was furious with them, but i couldn't stop crying.
That's when Snape came and i got my revenge, he was furious, he thought the twins had upset me enough to make me cry, I used it to my advantage and got them a week's worth of detention.
I looked up when I felt hands settle around me, i stiffened and looked up. That's when i saw McGonagall, the Headmaster, and Snape, all looking at me sympathetically, that's when I knew I had them hooked.
~End Flashback~
"The evil witch somehow turned it all around for us, McGonagall even awarded her points for, 'having the courage to be honest while in the wrong' Mental, the whole lot of them," Ron said shaking his head.
The Cullens laughed and listened avidly as they were told about Bella's years at Hogwarts. After listening to all the stories and with Promises of letting them view the pensive memories at a later date, Bella stood and claimed she was off to bed, traveling had tired her out.\
Ok, that's all for now, sorry this is late, however, to make it up to you I'm making this a double upload, also I've faced a dilemma here, you see some people like to go through the edited versions of the Hogwarts years and some do not, bearing this in mind I have come up with a solution, the chapter as it stands now only shows one flashback letting you know only some of the changes to the Twins Hogwarts years.
if i see a significant amount of reviewers (let's say 10 because yes, ten reviews is a lot to me,) Leaving a review asking for the years at Hogwarts I will edit this chapter to include them. Yes, the years are already written out. They just needed to be added.
Therefore those of you who did not want to see the changes in their Hogwarts year do not have to as you have already read this chapter. And those of you who want to see the changes only have to read the edited part. Which will start after the first flashback. Be warned the years will be told in flashbacks, that is all. Blessed be
