A new life

Chapter 2
AN: Thank you so much to the one kind person who reviewed the first chapter! I luv you so much for that!! To answer your questions 1) Minerva is Sirius' wife, 2) You will soon know who the twins are coz I tell you in this chapter, and 3) Sirius told his wife who the spy was. I hope you ppl like this next instalment, I won't be writing the next chapter unless I get 10 reviews!
The morning silence was broken with the sound of three owls screeching, and an eleven-year-old Harry Potter woke up. One week ago the twins had turned eleven, and the entire family had dinner at the bar. Now it was Harry's birthday and he had only one thought, get Sirius up. Harry got up slowly, and avoided the loose floorboard, so not to wake up Jonathan. Just like usual, as soon as Harry's feet touched the ground, Jonathan's crystal silver eyes blinked open.
"Morning" he said without a trace of sleepiness in his voice.
"How do you do that?" asked Harry.
"Do what?" asked Jonathan confused.
"Whenever my feet just touch the ground in the morning you wake up!" exclaimed Harry.
"Oh that, I dunno" replied Jonathan shrugging. Harry groaned, it was useless talking to Jonathan in the morning; he never had much to say until after breakfast. Harry walked out of the shared bedroom, carefully avoiding the robotic spider near the door of Jonathan's twin sister Tamara's room. When he got close to Sirius and Minerva's bedroom he ran towards the door and jumped onto the bed.
"Its my birthday Sirius, you have to take me on that motorbike" said Harry, jumping up and down.
"All right Harry, just let me get up" mumbled Sirius. Harry got off the bed ad ran down the hall to the kitchen, where Jonathan was eating breakfast with Tamara. Despite being twins, Jonathan and Tamara had completely different personalities. Jonathan was cautious, shy, trusting and often would be found reading in his room when guests were around. Tamara on the other hand was outgoing, clever, she hardly trusted anyone, she was a fast runner and had a great knowledge of mechanical things. But there were some things the twins had in common, their love and knowledge of horses, a powerful belief in the supernatural, and they both understood their fey powers. Tamara was now doing some designs for a robotic butterfly, and eating toast. How she could eat and design complex robots was beyond Harry, and quite often Jonathan.
"Your going on dads motorbike today?" asked Jonathan.
"Yeah, nah duh" replied Harry nastily. Tamara normally would've jumped down Harry's throat for a comment like that, for both Harry and Tamara knew Jonathan was delicate. Except she was still writing, and didn't notice what anyone was saying to her for a full five minutes.
"She's lost" muttered Harry. It was more often or not true, Tamara could never stay clean and her parents often thought she was lost when she was really exploring.
"I'm concentrating Harry" she replied angrily. Sirius entered the kitchen dressed in his leathers.
"Come on Harry, I'll take you out now" Sirius said chucking Harry a helmet.
"Don't forget about Jonathans check up" Tamara reminded her father.
"Not again" he groaned.
"Afraid so" Tamara replied.
"I don't need to go Dad, I feel fine" Jonathan piped up, and then dissolved into a fit of coughing.
"Get your mother to take him" said Sirius.
"I need to take Harry out on my bike as promised" Tamara glared at Harry; he knew she took her brothers illness very seriously, and would do anything to protect him. The motorbike ride was fabulous; Sirius took Harry almost everywhere. When they got back to the farm Minerva, Tamara or Jonathan were nowhere in sight. Harry found a note written in Minerva's hand, which read:
Dear Sirius and Harry,
Tamara and I had to take Jonathan into Saint Mungo's because the illness has gotten worse. He was unconscious when Tamara and I found him. I am very worried him, he might not be able to go to Hogwarts!
Please come soon
Minerva
Sirius swore as he read the letter.
"Come on Harry" snapped Sirius. Harry put his helmet on groaning and mounted the bike behind Sirius. The ride wasn't as much fun this time seeing as Sirius was going as fast as he possibly could. When they arrived at Saint Mungo's Sirius was in such a hurry to see his son he forgot to take off his helmet. Tamara was waiting for them in the foyer. It was obvious she had been crying from her tear stained face, and she was pale.
"They've taken him into the operating room, I don't know what they're doing to him" she started to cry as she was telling them this. Sirius ran past her and she followed easily catching up to him. Harry followed reluctantly behind. They found Minerva pacing by the operating room doors, when she saw Sirius she ran up to him and dissolved into tears. Sirius took his helmet off and pulled Minerva into a hug.
"Shh Minny, everything will be all right" Sirius whispered stroking his wives hair.
"I'm worried Sirius, I have no idea what's happening in there, he's never been inside an operating theatre before" muttered Minerva crying into Sirius' shoulder.
"He'll be fine" replied Sirius firmly.
"Don't worry Mum, Jonathan will be fine" Tamara said comforting her mother. Minerva pulled Tamara into her arms and hugged her fiercely.
"Oh sweetie, thank god I have you and your father in my life" Minerva whispered. The doors of the OR (OR means Operating Room) swung open and a nurse came out pushing a bed with Jonathan in it, pale as a ghost with tubes going into his nose. Minerva almost screamed out loud, and rushed towards her son.
"Madam, leave him be" ordered the doctor as he came out of the OR.
"Your son is fine, he just needs rest" Later in the ward, Jonathan was telling Sirius and Harry what happened.
"Then they gave me a potion that woke me up, and…" Jonathan was saying excitedly.
"Enough young man, you need rest" snapped a nurse who came in to give him his medicine.
"He was just telling us what happened" replied Tamara who was sitting on Jonathans bed. The nurse gave him the potion, and Jonathan fell asleep.
"I'm guessing he's not this talkative" muttered the nurse.
"No, normally we have to force him to say something, its Tamara we have to make shut up" replied Sirius laughing.
"He'll be back to normal tomorrow" the nurse told them kindly. They spent the night in the hospital, and the next morning they took Jonathan home.
"What a thing to happen on your birthday Harry" said Sirius ruffling Harry's hair.
"Yeah" replied Harry sadly.
"Sorry Harry" said Jonathan, who had to be taken home in a wheelchair.
"I've been getting worse"
"Its ok Jonathan, I know you couldn't help it" Harry told him.
A few weeks later Harry, Jonathan and Tamara were on platform 93/4 saying goodbye to Sirius.
"Bye kids" said Sirius hugging the twins and Harry.
"Bye Dad" replied Tamara and Jonathan.
"See-ya Sirius" added Harry. They clambered onto the train, Jonathan needing a bit of help, seeing as he was still weak. They waved to Sirius as the train pulled out, and he waved back until they couldn't see him. Jonathan got out his book and continued to read it. The compartment door opened, and a pale pointy-faced boy entered.
"Reading a muggle book?" he asked looking at Jonathan.
"Yes" replied Jonathan surprised that there was someone else who shared his love for books.
"Can I have a look?" he asked. Jonathan handed the book over, and the boy ripped a page out of it.
"Hey, that's mine" Jonathan half shouted.
"You shouldn't be reading muggle trash like this!" exclaimed the boy.
"Unless of course you're a mudblood" The boy was laughing as he continued to rip page's out of the book. Jonathan had tears welling in his eyes, and by the look Tamara was giving the boy she was obviously furious.
"Leave him alone" she shouted.
"Try and make me, muggle lover" snapped the boy. Tam did try to get the book back, she was a girl, but had a great right hook. The boy placed his hand on her head and stopped her from punching him. The boy finished tearing the book into shreds, and left.
"That one was a classic" whispered Jonathan.
"It's ok Jonathan, we'll buy you a new book during the holidays" Tam told her brother trying to comfort him.
"Tam and I'll get him for you Jonathan, we'll make him pay for what he did" added Harry with intense loyalty.
"Thanks you guys" replied Jonathan almost tearful. The rest of the trip was uneventful; bar the fact a bossy brown haired girl asked them if they had seen some guys toad. When they got to the station they got out and followed the large giant named Hagrid. They arrived at the castle, and went to get sorted. Jonathan needed to be convinced by Tam to sit on the stool and try on the hat, because for some odd reason he was terrified by it. Both twins were sorted into the Griffindor. The hat had understood the need for both twins to be in the same house despite the conflicting personalities. When Harry was called he to was sorted into Griffindor. He sat down opposite the twins. Jonathan was still pale from his confrontation with the hat. The bossy girl, whom was found out to be Hermione Granger, was being rather nasty about Jonathans fear.
"Really it wasn't that bad!" she said putting on an air of great importance.
"Wasn't that bad?" asked Jonathan breathing ragged.
"It was awful"
"You must be non-magical, like me" she told him.
"To be terrified of a hat, honestly"
"Don't you dare say that again!" snapped Tam angrily.
"He's ill, he's gets scared easily, and he's not muggle born" She was staring at Hermione with such anger, that even Harry was scared of her. Jonathan began to cough, which was a sure sign he was about to have a fit.
"Oh my god!" she cried and produced a small vial of potion and fed it to him.
"That was just a cold" said Hermione.
"For your information, Miss I-know-everything, my brother has been ill since he was born with an illness that only effects white level fey" snapped Tam, almost glad she understood her brothers illness better than Hermione.
"If there was such an illness I would've read about it" said Hermione glaring at Tamara.
"The illness isn't known by most people" Tam almost shrieked standing up.
"Hey, peace, leave her alone Tam" Harry jumped in ever the peacemaker.
"Yeah, leave her Tam she doesn't understand" added Jonathan squeezing her hand. She looked at her brother, grinned, and sat down.
"Sorry, you know what I'm like" she whispered.
"All to well" he replied. He was still pale, and Harry was sure at the least two fits would be averted by bed time.
A few weeks later Tam was convincing Jonathan to go to flying lessons.
"Its only flying!" exclaimed Tam yanking at her brothers arm.
"What if I have a fit?" asked Jonathan.
"You won't, and if you do take your potion" said Tam.
"I'll fall!" exclaimed Jonathan.
"You won't!"
"I'm not going!"
"You are!"
"I can't fly!"
"That's why they're called lessons!" The argument went on for five minutes, in which time Harry and his new friend Ron had to help convince Jonathan to come.
"Flying's fun Jonathan, its not scary" Ron told him.
"Your talking to someone who was scared of the sorting hat"
