Chapter 6:
"Bella, I'm glad I caught up with you. I need your IPod for class." Apollo runs up to his brother and sister-in-law, panting. Bella pecks Mars on the cheek and walks off with his little brother. "OK Apollo, spill it. You of all people should be able to replicate any music you want. What is really going on?"
"I'm not used to kids, I need you to help me figure out what to do with them." The sun god pleads. Bella groans. "Let me guess, I'll be helping out in your class every time?"
Bella's wings have receded by the time lunch rolls around, but the story has spread like wildfire. Apollo decided to have the students sing a little to gauge where their voices are. The result was amazing. "With this much talent, I am sure we could pull off a talent show easily." He tells the class proudly. Bella tried to sneak out after he regained his swagger but he grabbed her by the shirt. "Oh, no you don't. You are in this too. I want all of us to do this, including us."
"Uncle Apollo, if you, Father, Uncle Thant and Mother are in this, No one else will be noticed." Nico speaks up. His uncles and parents are especially accomplished and famous performers. Bella picks up on this. "How about us adults supplement the show? No competition at all, just a show." Her son brightens. It is rare to see the boy smile and she views everyone has a gift.
Thantos' class takes the students outside by the Herbology greenhouses. There they find a three story colonial house. Bella trails up behind the group. For one class, it's large. The Slytherin house is represented by Nico, Clarisse, Draco, Blaise, Theo and Pansy. The Ravenclaw were; Luna, Thalia, Jason and Annabeth. Leo and Grover were there from Hufflepuff and the largest group was from Gryffindor; Percy, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, both the Stoll and Weasley twins, Frank and Hazel.
The woman strolls right through the group with a polite excuse me. When she passes the Stolls and Weasleys, both sets of twins let out a whistle. "Boys I am sure you mean that as a complement, but still I am still your professor and mentor. In addition to that, I am sure my sons and family would object." She smiles at the boys. "Now I need to speak to my twin about something." Bella smirks as the shock ripples through the group at her casual mention of her twin.
"They seem a little taken aback at the news of us being twins." Thant chuckles when she lets herself into the house. "I am testing them to see how long it will take them to ring the doorbell or use the knocker." He informs his sister. "It's the first quiz of the term." Bella nods and laughs.
"I am here to ask you if you would like to help our dear cousin out with his little talent show." Thantos agrees and Bella turns serious for a moment.
"Don't go off the deep end brother, they are in the class out there. "
"Dad said he looked just like me." Thant whispers to his sister. She envelops him in a hug. They both start shaking with the knowledge of them finding their children after so long looking. After a while, someone knocks on the door. Thantos smiles and opens the door wide. "At last, someone was brave enough to attempt to enter the classroom."
"Thant, I'll see you in the Dining Hall. We need to discuss our children. Have fun guys, and no funny business boys." Bella points to both sets of twins. The boys hang their heads but they were still smirking. It didn't get past Bella, who when they picked up their heads flashed them her reaper face. She walks away mumbling "Wait until I get my hands on that Hermes, he has some explaining to do." Thantos laughs.
"Yes Sister, our dear fleet cousin needs to confess to if he was in England 18 years ago." Bella waves and runs back to the castle.
"Alright class, how many know what this is?" The professor leads his class into the kitchen pointing to the microwave.
That night at dinner, three professors sit at the end of the table huddled together. The whole hall is watching their every move from the corner of their eyes.
"It is obvious who our kids are. When Blaise walked in I was blown away by how much he looked like Maria and I. I wish he could have known his mother. I'm all he has left. Maria was so heartbroken when he was taken. I have no idea how to establish a bond with him that should have been there all along." Thantos sighed.
"We are there for him too Thant. He's family, and we don't leave family out in the cold. We have the same problem times two, plus the added problem of our sons being lifelong enemies." Mars clapped Thantos on the back.
"Don't forget that three out of the four are Veela. For some reason, it passed Harry by, he got landed most likely with a soul bond." Bella adds. "These boys will be looking for their mates as well as getting used to having powerful parents."
The kids went to bed that night with many questions floating in their heads. They knew that three of their fellow students were taken at birth and now will be reunited with their family.
Many theories were bandied around as to who were the missing sons. Harry was secretly hoping that he would be. Not because he didn't think that the Potter's loved him, but that he wished for parents more than anything. That and he looked just like Professor Krustalos, when she doesn't have her glamour on. It intrigued him.
Down in the Slytherin dungeons, Draco and Blaise were wondering who the lost boys might be. Each thought it would be cool to have siblings, being only children. Blaise noticed that he resembled both Bella and Thantos; he didn't look like either of his parents. Thantos was especially nice to him during the Muggle class. Draco thought that his parents must be related to Professor Mars, the whole family looked like him. It never occurred to him that it was him that was related to the war god.
