A.N. First and foremost....Thank you all for taking the time to read my story, I love to hear that you all are enjoying the story as much as I am writing it. To answer a few questions....No the Marshalls are not magical, but the twins are. Now that they are at Hogwarts, the chapters will be longer and will have a lot of funny scenes with the twins...they love to create mischief, especially Jamie. But enough of this rambling, let me get back to writing the next chapter. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the train was coming to a slow stop, Harry was quickly trying to get the twins to settle down and finish getting ready, which was a task in itself. Jamie had taken to annoying Sirius to any extreme and constantly trying to tickle him, but Sirius was just too quick for him. "You've got your hands full with these two Harry. I won't be surprised if they cause lots havoc at Hogwarts like Fred and George. We'll help you though; after all that's what friends are for right?" Ron suggested to Hermione and Sirius. "You bet, Harry. Although, I don't think I would trust them alone yet." Sirius replied as Hermione nodded her head in agreement.
~~~
Harry grasped the hands of the twins as they prepared to jump down onto the platform. "`Arry, Dumbledore wishes to see ya. Said to tell ya as soon as you got of the train. There's a special carriage to take all of ya there." Hagrid informed him as he enveloped Harry in a monstrous hug and then showed them to the carriage. As Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Sirius climbed into the carriage, the twins exclaimed in glee at just what was awaiting inside. "Look Jasmine, a carousel horse! I wonder if it works. Come on slow poke, get a move on it." Jamie exclaimed to her as he raced her to the horse. No sooner had they both climbed on then the horse began to move up and down slowly imitating a galloping horse. The twins were ecstatic with their surprise.
"Looks like Dumbledore already knew about them." Ron implies as he points to the twins. "Ron, you forget easily don't you? Dumbledore knows everything. Honestly, don't you pay attention to details?" Hermione asked him a little teasingly.
"No, Hermione I don't. That's what I have you for." He threw back at her a bit irritated.
~~~
Harry had begun to realize that his two friends were fixing to get into a huge argument and knew that he was going to have to stop it before it started. Last year, the two of them had put so many hexes on each other that it landed each of them in the hospital wing and a week's detention for both. Harry thought that it was because the two of them had been going out with each other and then suddenly they split up. Ron had stated that he didn't like her like that anymore and neither did she. It had been a bit awkward for the first few weeks but soon they had come to an agreement and were friends once again.
~~~
Harry quickly stood up and drew his wand. Ron and Hermione both looked at him quizzingly. "Harry, what are you doing?" Ron asked looking a bit nervous. Harry pointed it towards his two best friends and gently threatened them, "Don't argue in front of them. I don't want what happened last year to repeat again this year, let alone get worse. They've been through enough already." Ron looked at Hermione and apologized, while she did the same to him. As Harry sat down, Jasmine climbed into his lap. He smiled down at her as she snuggled into him. "Don't be angry dad, they didn't mean it. I'll hex them if they get out of line, okay dad." Jamie stated simply as he held one of Fred and George's fake wands in his hand.
~~~
It was then that Sirius snickered and stated that Harry's dad had said the same thing to him and Lily when they were fighting. Harry laughed and pulled Jasmine closer, noticing that she had fallen asleep against his chest. "They've had a big day today. We got up earlier than usual and I'm quite surprised that they've survived this long." Harry informed them just as Jamie yawned. He rubbed his eyes and looked up longingly at Harry wanting to join his sister.
~~~
The carriage soon approached the castle and they quickly mounted out of it. Harry decided to just carry Jasmine instead of waking her up and hearing her whines of protest. He would make sure that he had a snack for her when she would wake in the middle of the night. Jamie had grabbed Harry's robes as they entered the castle and approached Dumbledore's office. Hermione grasped Jamie's hand as the gargoyle leapt away to allow them to enter, for it had scared the boy.
~~~
Sirius knocked on the door and Dumbledore beckoned them to enter. As they entered, the gentle old wizard looked kindly at the two children before him and had a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Mr. Potter, I see you have your hands full." He said jokingly. Harry sat down on the couch and gently shifted Jasmine in his arms, but to his dismay she woke. Seeing that his sister was now awake, Jamie climbed up next to her. "Dumbledore, sir, they can stay can't they?" Harry questioned him while pulling the twins closer to him.
~~~
"Of, course they can Harry. If they can show that they can behave and the teachers don't seem to mind, they can join you in your classes. But if they can't, we will have to make some kind of arrangement as to who will watch them while you're in class. It's good to see that you're alright. Now, if that is all, let's go to the Great Hall." Dumbledore informed them as he winked at the twins.
~~~
"Thank you, sir. I'll try to have them on their best behavior. I have one question though. How did you know that I had brought them here, I still haven't taken off the spell that makes it impossible to find me. I found it in this ancient spell book that was at the Marshalls." Harry asked him wondering just how much he knew and how he came to get all of his vast information.
~~~
"I was wondering where you had come upon that one, for it's a very powerful spell and quite difficult to perform." He chuckled as he finished, "As for knowing, I've known all along that you were fine and I had even placed a few protection spells on you myself. As for the children, I don't think it would be proper if Jasmine stayed in the boy's dormitory. Miss Granger, would you be so kind to help out with this?"
"I would love to sir." Hermione replied. "No! I want to stay with dad!" Jasmine screamed as she tightened her grasp around Harry. Jamie whispered something into her ear and a mischievous grin spread across both of their faces. "Okay, I guess. But I'm not going to like it." Jasmine stated while she pouted playfully. Dumbledore smiled and ushered them to the hall for dinner.
~~~
They entered the Great Hall through the same side door that Harry had exited through during his fourth year when his name was pulled out of the Goblet of Fire. They quickly sat down and Hermione noticed something on Harry's forehead. She grabbed her handkerchief and dabbed it in her glass of water. As she was wiping away what she thought was dirt, she exclaimed in surprise. "Harry, are you wearing makeup? I was wondering how you hid your scar." Harry's face was the color of Ron's hair. He couldn't believe that she had said that so loud.
Hermione noticed that she had just embarrassed her best friend and quickly apologized. She didn't mean for it to come out that loud but she had been genuinely surprised. As Harry smiled at her, the first years came strolling in and the sorting begun.
~~~
During dinner, Harry couldn't help but notice that Ron kept glancing down the table at where Lavender and Parvati were seated. "I wonder which one he fancies." Harry thought. He quickly filled up his plate with desert for Jasmine who had been sitting on his lap all throughout dinner. Hermione had thought that it was cute how they had bonded with him so quickly, but she never thought she would be jealous. He was her best friend and she had made that mistake with Ron last year. She didn't want to ruin their friendship over a simple crush.
~~~
As the twins were starting to get a little restless again, Dumbledore stated that since everyone was finished eating that it was time to go to their respective dorms. Harry and Hermione got up and started to help direct the first years to the portrait of the fat lady as all prefects were required to do so. By the time they had arrived inside the Gryffindor commonroom, the twins were almost asleep in Harry's arms. Harry offered to carry Jasmine upstairs to the girl's dorm and put her to bed. Hermione was grateful for the help, for she was wondering how she would get the sleeping child up there without waking her.
~~~
Harry gently laid Jasmine in the bed that Dumbledore had arranged for her and kissed her on the top of her head. As he was leaving, Hermione quickly thanked him and shut the door. She was exhausted and was quite surprised at just how she had held up today, not once had she read a book. She grinned at this as she changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. Hermione looked over at the peaceful sleeping child and wondered just how Harry had come into watching them as she drifted off to sleep.
