Chapter 3
Antonin shot up from his chair and rounded on Snape immediately asking if he was completely sure it was them, "Yes of course I'm sure Dolohov otherwise I wouldn't have brought them, here would I?" He snapped.
"They're here?" An excited voice asked from the canopy bed.
"Yes, they're here." Snape told his favourite student.
"Well what are we waiting for then?" Ana asked.
"Ana… They were Obliviated…" Snape said softly.
Ana's face fell, her brothers, the brothers that she loved with all of her heart, that she hadn't seen since she was five years old. Didn't remember her? Would they ever? Would they ever care about her again? Or make her laugh until she cried again? Hug her when she was sad? Heal her when she was hurt? Would they ever be a family again?
"Darling," Antonin soothed, "We will find a way to make them remember. I promise you." He said as she cried into his chest.
"Antonin, you should go with Severus, I'll stay with Ana and the boys." Lucius assured as Ana latched onto him like a life line.
"I'll be right back Ana." Antonin said before he swept out of the room with Snape.
"Ana, we will never forget you honest." Theo said, hugging her.
"Same." Draco agreed hugging her too.
"You're stuck with us Ana." Blaise laughed.
"Sweet Salazar, I pity her for being forced together with us." Theo laughed earning a watery chuckle from Ana.
"How'd you do that Theo? Make her laugh? She never laughs at my jokes!" Blaise asked, earning another chuckle.
"Not the same thing." He said through gritted teeth when Theo raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously Ana we will never leave you." Draco said.
"I know you guys won't." Ana smiled.
"Well, as much as we hate to admit it, we should probably get going before my mother kills us for being late." Blaise chuckled.
"Bye Ana!" Blaise and Draco called as they left Ana and Theo alone.
"Well… We're all alone now." Theo smirked.
"Finally!" Ana moaned as she laid her head onto Theo's chest as he played with her hair.
"What's on your mind love?" Theo asked after a moment of silence.
"Nothing…"
"Thinking about Adrian and Michail?" He asked.
"How on Earth did I end up with someone as amazing as you?" She smiled.
"Eh, just lucky I guess." He admitted.
"Oh, shut up Theo." She laughed.
"Well I know how I could shut you up…" he said as he lowered his lips onto hers.
The twins were feeling slightly uncomfortable in the dark, damp entrance hall of the Manor but for some reason, couldn't help but finally feel safe and at home for the first time in their lives, they had each taken off the glamour so now they were practically the spitting image of Antonin Dolohov apart from that their eyes were slightly lighter than his, one visible trait they'd picked up from their mother even if they didn't know it, Snape had returned a few moments before and was standing with them, so at-least if something went wrong they'd be relatively safe… They hoped anyway.
"How are you both feeling?" Severus asked after a few moments while they were waiting for Antonin and Elanor to come downstairs.
"We're coping," They both answered.
Although there wasn't much longer to see how well they'd cope as Lucius entered the room and announced that the couple were on their way. Not quite sure what to expect, they both straightened up and prepared to meet the wizard that they had been conditioned to fear for most of their lives.
"Adrian, Michail," The woman whispered in a hoarse voice, before sprinting towards them and engulfing then in a hug that they were sure was even tighter than their moth- Molly had ever given anyone.
"I still can't believe it's you," She whispered, finally pulling away from them long enough to look at the handsome wizards in her arms.
"I'm not sure we quite believe it ourselves," Fred replied.
"Of course, this must be quite the shock for you," Antonin said stepping into the light, "Let's sit down." He said leading them into what appeared to be a Drawing room,
The twins settled themselves on the largest sofa in the room with Antonin across from them and Elanor warily perching beside them. Severus waited in the entrance for a small nod from Antonin before also taking a seat on the armchair beside the fire.
"I just want to start by saying that I don't expect you to love us, or even like us, straight away," Antonin began. "Severus and I have been working on an anti-Obliviation potion for some time and a few days ago, well we believe we've found the cure. We do need to do some testing but we hope that you'll be willing to take it and remember your lives before the Order took you away. However, in the meantime you can ask any question and we'll try to answer to the best of our abilities."
Fred and George took a look at each other before answering, "We'd like that very much, and yes we do have a couple of questions."
"What were our names…before?" Fred asked.
At that Elanor smiled, "Your names are Adrian and Michail. I also don't know how it's possible either but your middle names are Fred and George. Adrian Fred Dolohov and Michail George Dolohov. I suppose it might've been a cruel message to us. Anything else?"
"I think we should probably just get some sleep to digest all of this." Fred admitted.
"Well, we'll have someone show you two to your room and the potion should hopefully be ready for tomorrow." Antonin said happily.
