"Nash? Kent" Katy whispered, staring at the two boys before blacking out.

"Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't,
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't,
Depends on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes,
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from you video,
And I ain't built like a supermodel,
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a Queen,
I'm not the average girl from your video,
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes,
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
When I look in the mirror the only one there is me,
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be,
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me,
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes I'm lovin' what I see
I'm not the average girl from you video,
And I ain't built like a supermodel,
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a Queen,
I'm not the average girl from your video,
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes,
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear panty hose?
My mama said ain't what she wears but what she knows,
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion confusions the name of the game,
A misconception a vast deception,
Something's gotta change,
Don't be offended this is all my opinion,
Ain't nothing that I'm sayin' law,
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share wit' ya'll,
So get in where you fit in go on and shine,
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf,
Go ahead and love yourself
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
I'm not the average girl from you video,
And I ain't built like a supermodel,
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a Queen,
I'm not the average girl from your video,
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes,
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie"
Katy woke to hear her mother singing along to the muggle radio. As the next verse came on, she couldn't help but join in.
"Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks,
I don't need that to have a good time,
Keep your expensive car and your Caviar,
All I need is my guitar,
Keep your krystyle and your pistol,
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal,
Don't need your silly comb I can find my own,
What God gave me is just fine
I'm not the average girl from you video,
And I ain't built like a supermodel,
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a Queen,
I'm not the average girl from your video,
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes,
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie" Sang Ginny and Katy.
"I never knew you liked India Arie" Laughed Ginny. When Katy had joined in with her singing, it had startled her, but after the initial shock she'd started singing again.
"I don't!" Katy replied "I only like that song!"
"Me too!" Ginny said, causing them both to burst into laughter.
"Now, what is so funny?" Harry asked as he strode into the room. "Kitten! You're awake!" He exclaimed cutting off any response.
"Uhm yeah? So?" Asked Katy, totally perplexed.
"Don't you remember what happened?" Ginny asked, all her laughter forgotten.
"No. What happ-" Started Katy but cut herself off as the events came rushing into her mind.
"Oh my god! Where are they? I have to see them!" Katy exclaimed, growing panicked and trying to get out of the hospital bed.
"Katy! Stop right now! You're not supposed to over exert yourself!" Commanded Ginny, pushing her now calmer daughter back onto the hospital bed.
"Where are they? Please can't I see them?" Katy begged, relenting to the pushing off her mother.
"Uhm…well…you see…" Harry started nervously, shooting pleading glances at his wife.
"Katy…those boys said they were your brothers. And we didn't exactly believe them. So they were…they were taken back to their parents." Ginny said nervously, saving her husband.
"What do you mean they were taken away!? They were my brothers! Oh no…no, no, no! Please, not again" Katy sobbed, her heart felling like it was breaking.
"Shh…Hush, It'll be alright Kitten. Don't worry, we'll find them again" Ginny soothed hugging her daughter close while shooting 'get-your-rear-in-gear-and-find-those-boys' glances.
Harry nodded once before giving his daughter a kiss on the head and leaving his wife to look after his daughter while he searched for her brothers.

"Hello? Mr. Hall? I believe two boys by the names of Nash and Kent were sent to you? Really? Well do you think I could possibly talk to one of them? Oh…well alright. Thank you." Harry groaned when he finished his phone call.
"What's up Dad?" Scott asked.
"There's something wrong with that guy. And I have this feeling that there's something wrong with Nash and Kent too." Harry explained to his oldest son.
"Yeah. Katy said she had that feeling too. But, what can we do? We can't leave them there." Scott said.
"I believe your right." Harry said, the wheels in his head turning.
~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&
"Hello?..." Asked Mr. Hall when he answered the door.
"Mr. Hall? We're here to collect Nash and Kent." Harry said, gesturing to his companions.
"Uhm…well…Who are you and what do you want with the boys." Mr. Hall asked nervously, glancing conspicuously over his shoulder.
"I'm Harry Potter and these people are from the adoption agency. We're here because we have reason to believe Nash and Kent are being abused." Harry stated, not knowing the truth in his statement.
"That's preposterous!" Exclaimed Mr. Hall, tugging at his collar nervously.
"Then you won't mind letting me see them" Responded Harry beginning to understand why Mr. Hall was so nervous.
"Well…you see-" Started Mr. Hall but he was interrupted by someone screaming.
"HELP!!! SOMEONE PLEASE!!! HELP!!!" A young female voice shrieked. The shrieking was accompanied by someone pounding on a door.
"Get out of the way Hall." Harry growled, trying to push the older man out of the way.
"NO! You have no right to come barging into my house!" Hall yelled, trying to keep Harry out of the house.
"Stupefy" Sirius said from behind Harry.
"Expelliarmus" Shouted a female voice from behind where Mr. Hall used to be.
The voice belonged to a woman who looked to be in her mid-thirties. She smiled triumphantly as she caught their wands. It didn't last long though.
"Expelliarmus, Stupefy" Harry said, flicking his hand and watching the look of terror on the woman's face as he caught their and her own wand.
"Stupid woman" Muttered Harry, before giving everyone back their wands.
"Ron, Hermione you two look for any others that want to hex or curse us, Remus and Sirius, call the Aurors and watch these two. And Tiffany and I'll look for Nash, Kent and that young girl we heard." Harry said before turning away with Tiffany and going towards where the pounding had come from.
"HELP! PLEASE!" The young girl screamed again, her pounding growing weaker.
"I'm coming! Keep pounding!" Harry called back trying to find where she was.
"Harry! Here!" Exclaimed Tiffany, opening a door down the hall.
"My god." The twins muttered at the same time.
Lying on the floor was Nash and Kent. Unconscious. They both looked badly in need of medical attention. They both had open cuts from their eyes to their jaws that were bleeding openly. Nash looked like his right wrist was broken, and his left shoulder looked like it was popped out of its socket. Kent looked like both his left knee and ankle were broken, and a bone from his shoulder was sticking out of his back.
"Please, can you help them?" Asked a young female voice. The voice belonged to a young girl who looked about 11 years old who was kneeling between Nash and Kent. She had long red hair with black tips that went half way down her back and green eyes. But they weren't just any green eyes. They were the same eyes Harry saw at every time he looked in the mirror.
"Abby who is they?" Asked a baby voice. Leaning against the young girl-Abby-was a small child, who looked to be about 2, 2 and a half at most. She had curly blonde hair that reached her eyes and dark blue eyes that were quickly filling with tears.
Both girls had bruises and cuts covering their bodies, and were wearing tattered clothes, much like the ones Betty and Sky used to wear.
"I don't know Niccy, but they're here to help Nash and Kent." Replied "Abby", hugging the little girl to her.
"Hello, I'm Harry Potter, and this is my sister Tiffany. Who are you?" Harry asked, keeping very calm and talking very gentle so as to not alarm them. He knew how to act around abused children, especially after Katy and Christina.
"I-I'm Abigail Weston, and this is Nicole." Explained Abigail, looking slightly nervous.
"Abigail and Nicole are nice names" Smiled Tiffany as Harry was checking over Nash and Kent. "Are you two sisters?"
"Oh no. You see……well, almost two months ago I was at the park by my house with some friends, and these people in wizard cloaks came, and they…well, they kidnapped me." Abigail explained with a shudder. "Niccy, Nash and Kent were already here when they brought me here. They adopted Nash and Kent when they were younger, but Niccy is…….well Niccy is…" Abigail trailed off, glancing down at the young girl clinging to her.
"I'm a Hall" Muttered Nicole, spitting out Hall like a swear word.
"Not at heart Niccy, not at heart" Soothed Abigail, hugging the child to her.
"Alright, we have to get these four to the hospital Tiff." Harry explained. "I'll take Nash and Kent on these stretchers" Harry waved his hand and produced to stretchers "And you take Nicole and Abigail." Harry sated, carefully levitating Nash and Kent onto different stretchers.
"But what about the others?" Tiffany asked.
"Tell them where I went, and where you're going, they'll know what to do." Harry said, before apparating away with Nash and Kent.
"Yes sir" Tiffany mumbled, mock-saluting her brother.
Tiffany! Move! Came Harry's voice in her head.
"Shoot! I forgot he could do that!" Tiffany mumbled before turning to the two girls left in the room.
"Uhm…well, Abigail, Nicole we have to go inform some of my and Harry's friends about all this, and then I have to take you two to the hospital and get you patched up!" Tiffany said, ushering them to the door.
"O-Okay. But please, call me Abby or Gail! And Nicole prefers Niccy." Replied Abby.
"Alright! And please, call me Tiff" Tiffany said back, smiling down at the young girl.
"Ron! Hermione! Sirius! Remus!" Called Tiffany walking down the hall.
"Down here Tiff!" Came Sirius' voice from near the doorway.
"Harry had to take Nash and Kent to the hospital, and I have to go there to 'cause-oh! I see we seem to have company!" Exclaimed Tiffany, pushing Niccy and Abby behind the corner she'd just come from.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Miss High-and-Mighty Potter" Hissed a drawling voice from behind a Death Eater's mask.
"Oh but Lucius I'm now Mrs. High-And-Mighty Malfoy. Father in law" Tiffany replied with a smirk, while trying to contact Harry. Harry? Harry! Merlin's Beard! We're being attacked by Death Eaters! You know, the ones that were supposed to be dead? Tiffany screamed frantically in her head, but not letting the panic show on her face.
"Whatever you say Potter." Lucius replied, his smirk slipping slightly.
"I told you, I'm a Malfoy! Isn't that just positively great? You and me! Father and daughter?" Tiffany replied, ending it sarcastically, but with a sugary sweet smile.
"Hmm…wait a moment! I know what seems so weird about this situation! Dear father in law aren't you supposed to be dead?" Tiffany asked, smile still in place.
"Well…yes, but you were all so stupid to believe that I was dead" He smirked. "Now since I have no need of you anymore…Avada Kedavra"

A/N Holy crap! That sooooo wasn't supposed to happen! Dude! I know that sounds stupid, but I was supposed to have a different ending! I think it's the fact that it's like 2:30 in the morning and I'm tired as heck! Well, anyway I know this is kind of short, and I'm really sorry, but I'm gonna start the next chapter tomorrow! I promise! Oh…wait I forgot! I might be going camping next week, from Monday to Sunday, so I won't be able to get the next chapter up till after that unless I get major help from my muse! Who's my muse? Hmmm… the little elf type guy in my head named Martin! Lolz, sorry that was the best I could come up with at the moment! Meh, anyway, I love you all, and please, please, please keep reviewing! I'll update as soon as I get the next chapter done! Don't worry, I'll work on it in my notebooky thing like I usually do when I can't get on the computer! Well, got to go!
Luv 'n' Muahz,
