äääääääDisclaimer: I own absolutely nothing. Probably not even half of the
story.
Author's note: Think of this as taking place at the very beginning of the SU timeline, when the triplets are only just getting used to the idea of having siblings.
This story is pretty much a sequel to Explanations, except I'm writing them at the same time. You might want to read that as I write it, as well.

Chapter Two
Moments later, Harry heard a whining sound. His curiosity got the better of him and he moved out of the alley and into a deserted street. He saw an approaching blur, and as the blur got closer, Harry could see that the blur was actually three different people.
The blur came to a stop a couple of metres away, and two of the figures stumbled apart, obviously dizzy. After a moment, they steadied and turned to Harry.
"Was that you, sending 'Buttnik up to the ceiling?" the blue hedgehog asked.
"Yeah. He startled me, and I hexed him. The last thing I expected when I came here was having to deal with another Dudley... I think he looked better up there..." Harry admitted, which sent the three hedgehogs into fits of laughter.
When they stopped laughing, the blue one introduced himself. "I'm Sonic. These are my sibs Sonia," indicating the pink one, "and Manic, " indicating the green one.
"Hi, I'm Harry Potter." Harry almost expected, and dreaded, exclamations of 'THE Harry Potter?!', but was relieved when none came.
"Let's head back to base," Sonia suggested. Sonic sped off, leaving Harry, Sonia and Manic behind. Sonia sighed. "Come on."
They started walking throught the city. After only a few minutes, they heard the sound of an approaching engine. Moments later, they saw something vaguely resembling a scorpion driving along the street they were on. Sonia and Manic tensed, obviously expecting trouble. Harry solved the problem with a simple "Impedimenta!". They continued on their way.
After a minute, Manic trotted on ahead and pressed a panel on the wall of a seemingly abandoned building. Part of the wall opened up wide enough to all three to pass through, and shut behind them.
A couple of hours later, Harry was sitting across from the triplets at the table. Out of the blue*, Sonic asked Harry "What's your story?"
Harry sighed and started talking. He detailed everything important that had happened to him since he was a year old, including how he lived with his horrible aunt, uncle and cousin.
As Harry finished his story, there was a knock on the base door, and Sonic went to see who it was - only to come back with an emerald green envelope, which he wordlessly set down on the table. It was addressed to all three of the hedgehogs, and Harry recognised the handwriting.
"Hang on, that's my Headmaster's handwriting!"
Sonia opened the envelope took out a sheet of paper, and read aloud.
# Dear Sonic, Sonia and Manic,
You may not remember me, but I most certainly remember you. I came to Mobius only a few days before Robotnik overthrew your mother, and was there the entire time.
I knew Robotnik was trouble, and so did the Oracle of Delphius. Our plan was to prove our beliefs, but they failed. I intended to get my phoenix, Fawkes, and Robotnik together in the same room, where I could prove that Robotnik was untrustworthy.
Unfortunately, for some reason your mother did not believe me, even when Fawkes pointedly stayed on the other side of the room from Robotnik. I truly wish she had believed me, but there is no point crying over spilled potions.
Have you ever wondered why you were (almost**) never seriously injured, no matter what happened? The reason is that I put a protection spell on you before I left. I have no wish for you to meet the same fate as my own family.
However, do not expect the spell to protect you forever. Even the strongest spells wear off over time, and becoming foolhardy would cause the spell to wear off faster.
I wish you luck and success,
Albus Dumbledore,
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry #
The triplets shared a glance, and Harry commented, "I never knew _that_!"
*Pun not intentional! But it's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?
**The _almost_ is because, as I recall, in Beginnings, Sonic was absolutely exhausted after the raid on Robotnik's facilities...
Please REVIEW!
