AN: I don't have the Potter books with me at this moment in time, so I might make up some spells, charms, transfigurations, here and there.
Thanks to the two reviewers! Here is the second chapter!
Renee and Chad were soon left alone in the room with Dumbledore. Chad was now able to talk, and Renee was still trying to figure out why they were there. Dumbledore sat in a chair, stroking his pet Fawks. Chad was playing with the chain around his neck. Renee was fiddling with the pendant on the chain on her neck.
Dumbledore looked at the two teens, for a moment. He caught the flash of light reflecting off the one of the pendants.
"Can you stop playing with the necklaces around your neck for a moment? I would like to see them."
Renee and Chad immediately took the necklaces off their necks and handed them to the Headmaster. Dumbledore sat staring at them for a few minutes, before speaking up again.
"These necklaces are very important. Where did you get them?"
"I was given mine when I was a baby. I was told in a letter from my mother never to take it off," Renee responded looking even more confused.
"Yeah, same here," Chad said.
"Well, it seems that you two are heirs of both houses of Slythrin and Gryfindor. Oh, dear. I would hate to be the one to tell you this."
"Uh, well can you not tell us and say you did? That way I can go about to serving that detention I got a few hours ago," Renee said.
Ignoring her Dumbledore went on, "You two are very powerful wizards. You two are twins, your mother was a very powerful Dark witch, your father a powerful wizard. Your father was on the good side. Put into terms you to may understand your mother was on the dark side, your father on the light."
This brought a comment out of Renee. "I'm....I'm his sister! That is just so....so wrong!!! I'm related to the world's biggest slacker!!!"
"Hey I am not that big of a slacker. And I resent that!" Chad said, glaring at her.
Grumbling a bit under her breath, Renee asked, "So uh, is there more to the sad sob story that you need to tell us?"
"Yes, your father went to Azakaban when you both were about one. For supposedly killing thirteen muggles and a wizard. This left you in your mother's care. Even at the tender age of one, both of you were very, powerful. So she began to teach you the Dark Arts. Well then one day Lord Voldermort, your mother was one of his followers, found out about you two. He killed your mother. She didn't have a chance to say the curse she was about to. He put the killing curse on her, and her wand laid where it fell. He kidnapped you, so he could carry out his plan of fully training you in the Dark Arts."
"And then some other wizard came and stopped him, and we were put up for adoption, because we were safe in the Muggle world," Chad said, sarcastically.
"No, there was someone in the wizarding community that raised us until we were seven. Wasn't there?" Renee asked.
"Yes, there was someone that raised you until you were seven. But for your own safety the Ministry put a memory charm on you two. You were given these pendants in case you were ever found out. You then got muggle families. I suppose you never got an invitation to the American school of Witch Craft and Wizardery," Dumbledore said.
"No," Chad said.
"Okay, now that I found out that I'm some important person and am related to Chad, uh, what happens now?" Renee asked.
"Ah, well at dinner tonight you two will be sorted into houses. Your father will be notified that you are alive. In fact he and another student will be called into a meeting tonight, after you guys are situated. It is dinner time now. Come with me," Dumbledore said.
Chad and Renee followed behind him silently at first, but then Renee started to smirk.
It was the smirk Chad had seen numerous times before. The smirk that meant that she was up to something. Chad groaned.
"What are you thinking?" Chad asked.
"So if I am a witch and your a wizard....and we get to learn spells and stuff...." She trailed off, still grinning.
"We can pull off a few er, pranks...your brilliant!!" He exclaimed.
Dumbledore thought, that memory charm seems to be lifted.
"Hey, you know what I remembered?" Renee asked.
"What?"
"I think it was a stunning spells. I can't wait until I get a wand."
"Oh, I think I can wait for that," Chad said grimacing.
"You say that as if it's a bad thing."
"It's not a bad thing, exactly, it's just you learning spells.... Stunning spells, any spell....Is going to be bad."
"Why do you say that?"
"I have a distinct memory of flying across the gym. You didn't have anything.....you just got really mad and then I was flying across the room."
"So?"
"I hurt my head," he said, whining.
"It's not a vital part of your body," Renee said, grinning.
They stopped their conversation, when they realized that they had arrived in a large room, filled with students, wearing black robes. Plates had not yet been filled with food. Renee suddenly began to get nervous. And when she got nervous she began to fiddle with whatever she had in her hands. The thing that happened to be in her hands was her pendant, the pendant with a silver snake and gold lion.
She muttered under her breath, "Stupify flyon."
Before Chad could react, or figure out what was going on, he felt as if he was flying. He felt the rush of air in his hair. Then he felt the hard smack against the hard stone wall. He slowly fell to the floor, and realized he couldn't move at all. He glared at Renee, who ran to where he was. The other students looked on, amazed at the fact that a witch that didn't have a wand just made someone fly across the room.
Chad felt his arms and legs again and slowly stood up. Renee tried to help him up, but he refused, and continued to glare at her. Renee smiled sweetly at him. Chad and Renee walked tot the front of the room, where Dumbledore stood. Dumbledore was grinning, and his eyes were twinkling in amusement.
Chad didn't look too amused. He muttered under his breath, "Stupify."
Now it was Renee's turn not to move at all. She fell tot he ground, stiff as a board. The only thing that moved was her eyes, daring Chad to do anything else. He was about to say something else, when Renee's eyes narrowed into tiny slits. He quickly muttered something else and Renee was free to move around again.
The twins of Kelisto.
That was the whispers that both Chad and Renee heard around them.
Before she could do anything Dumbledore cleared his throat. His eyes were still twinkling, as he spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we seem to have two late arrivals. These students will be sorted right now, before we begin to eat."
There was a stool placed in the center of the room. Professor McGonagal beckoned for one of the twins to sit on it. Renee and Chad looked at each other.
"You go," Chad said.
"No, you."
"You."
"You."
"You, do it."
"I'll curse you."
They stared at each other for a few moments. They stared at each other until Renee poking Chad in the ribs. She then walked to the stool, and sat down. She felt a hat placed on her head.
The hat didn't perform any song, like at the normal Sortings. Then again, this was completely abnormal. The hat spoke.
"Ah, I was wondering when you would come."
"Why?" Renee thought.
"You are brave, witty, and intelligent. You would do well in Gryfindor. Manipulative, and sly. Common traits among the Slytherins. You would do well in there too. I see that you are the heir to both. This is odd."
The hat sat in silence for a few moments. Then it shouted, "GRYFINDOR!"
Chad was next, and instead of Renee going directly to the table she was supposed to she waited for him. The hat spoke to him, too.
"You have the same traits as your sister. Brave and witty. But you are also manipulative, and coy...Hmm. I'll have you decide."
"The same as my sis...er Renee.. Please."
The hat seemed to think for a moment before it called out, "GRYFINDOR!"
There were cheers coming from the table where the Gryfindors sat. Renee smacked Chad in the head. He rubbed where she had just smacked him. They walked over to where, the Gryfindors sat. The people there stared at them in awe. Chad poked Renee in the ribs, as they sat down to eat. The whispers were soon around them once again.
The two were greeted by a girl with long bushy hair, and another boy with fiery red hair. The boy was tall a lanky.
"Hello, my name is Hermione. The bozo sitting next to me is Ron," Hermoine said. "How come you're wearing Muggle clothing?" Ron asked.
"RON! Don't ask them that! Show some respect!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Don't ask who what, now?" A new voice asked.
"'Ello, Harry. These are new students, um I didn't catch your names," Ron said.
"This is Renee, and I'm Chad. For some odd reason people keep looking at us, and whisper 'the twins of Kelisto'. Know anything about it?" Chad said.
"Yeah, apparently we know nothing. 'Cept what Dumbledore told us. He didn't mention anything about the star Kelisto though."
"Kelisto is a star?" Chad asked.
"Did I just not say that? No, it's a toad," Renee said, sarcastically.
"Okay, now I know that you were telling the truth the first time. No need to get all weird on me," Chad said.
Harry looked at them with amusement. Seeing them argue was pretty funny. In answer to their question Ron spoke up.
"There were two twins that were born when the stars of Kelisto were burning at the brightest. They were born from two powerful wizards. Well, one was a dark wizard, the other was just a wizard. But he was pretty powerful, too. Anyway, the two twins were supposed to be really powerful, when they were together. That's all I know."
Hermoine and Harry looked at him for a moment. Then they went back to eating their dinner. Renee was getting fidgety again. She wasn't hungry, so she wasn't eating. Chad noticed and began to bug her.
"Eat."
"No, I'm not hungry."
"Yes, you are."
"Don't tell me if I'm hungry or not."
"You have to be hungry. I know I am."
"Yeah, well I'm not you, so that means that I'm not hungry."
"You will be."
Renee glared at him, and ate a roll. Chad grinned, a grin that much resembled the Chesire cat. Chad had one this round, but would he be alive to win the next?
Renee decided his fate for him. The answer was no. She didn't care if he was her brother of best friend. She started to mutter under her breath about some people being dumb asses. Renee then decided she was hungry and was about to fill her plate with food, when she got a brilliant idea.
She picked up a fork, and began to eat off of Chad's plate. Chad looked at her for a few moments, and stopped eating.
"What are you doing?"
"Eating."
"Can't you eat off your own plate?"
"Yes."
"Then why are you eating off of mine? Why don't you eat off of Harry's?"
"Because I don't want to."
Chad glared at her for a few moments and then decided that he probably wasn't going to won this argument and continued to eat. Harry looked at them, there was something different about those two, but he wasn't quite sure what. He had a strange feeling about them, but as said before he wasn't quite sure why. He knew one thing for sure, he didn't trust them.
