Chapter 23 – Sorry

Harry,

You must be joking.  Me?  The descendant of Helga Hufflepuff?  That's just not possible.

You're so joking,

Hermione

* * * *

Ethan,

Please tell me Harry was joking about me being the descendant of Hufflepuff.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

I swear I'm not joking.  Solemnly even.  If you think that's unbelievable, Malfoy's the descendant of Rowena Ravenclaw.

So not joking,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

I can't tell you that.  And you think you have it bad?  I'm a descendant of Godric Gryffindor.  I'm beginning to think the same gods who are making Harry's life miserable are after me now.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

WHAT???

How did that happen?

Sighed,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

I hope not.  I'll have a mental breakdown if I have to worry much more about the both of you.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

*snicker*  Don't tell me you haven't been told how babies are made.  Tut, tut.  How far behind the times you are.

Snickering,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

I will attempt to keep you from having a mental breakdown as much as possible.  Cross my heart.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

You.  Are.  An.  Ass.

Bugger you,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

You're an angel.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Bint.

Smirking,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Actually I'm a unicorn but hey…

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Bastard.

Sticking out tongue,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

What are you talking about?

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

How immature.

Poof.

Laughing,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Something the Sorting Hat told us.  Apparently we all have pre-determined Animagi forms.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Who's immature, you git?

Take that,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

There's no way.  Animagi forms cannot be pre-determined.

Can they?

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Oh, I'm hurt.  I'm falling over in painful spasms.  Oh, the agony!  Someone saaaaaveeee meeeeee.

En garde,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

According to the Hat they can.  I'm checking a book Remus sent Harry about that right now.

If I can't find anything there I'll ask Minerva.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Ha ha, very funny.

Queer.

I am not sword-fighting,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

Why not ask Sirius too?

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Again, bint.

The pen is mightier than the sword,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Sirius wouldn't know anything about Animagi if it hit him in the head.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Immature bastard.

So's my wand,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

Since when have you called him Sirius?

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

We so have no lives.

Is that a challenge?

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

I guess I should tell you that he's my twin brother, shouldn't I?

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Agreed.

No way,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIRIUS IS YOUR TWIN!!!!

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Scared?

Scaredy-cat,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Er, yeah?

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Of you?  Pish!

DID YOU KNOW SIRIUS IS ETHAN'S TWIN???!!!!!!

Back at you,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

And when were you going to tell me this?

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Oooo, so strong.

And yes, I did.  He told me at the end of fifth year.  Why?  Don't tell me he just now told you.

Can't believe this,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Uh, right now?

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Back off, now.  Or I'll tell Ethan you're hitting on me.

And yes, he did!  I can't believe you've known for a year!  HARRY!

How dare he,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

You are in so much trouble.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Hitting on you?  C'mon, Herm, I like Gin.

Hey, it wasn't my thing to tell.

Don't look at me,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

*gulp*

Er, I love you?

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Ethan,

YOU JUST NOW TOLD HER SIRIUS IS YOUR TWIN!!

Just how psychotic are you?

You crazed lunatic,

Harry

* * * *

Harry,

Well, I couldn't find the right time to tell her!

Get off my back,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

You're right, it wasn't your secret to tell.

And am I not desirable enough for you?

Sad now,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

Not going to work on me, bub.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

Thanks.

Herm, that just brought up some reeeeaaaally bad imagery.  Don't do that again.

Sick now,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Um…

Oh bugger.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Ethan,

You are such an idiot.

Great galumphing idiot,

Harry

* * * *

Harry,

Oh, thanks.

Make me feel better,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Sorry.  *giggle*

Giggling,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

'Oh, bugger' is right.  I am so going to kill you when I get back to Hogwarts.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

You're not sorry at all, are you?

Bint,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

I'll be hiding in the traveling broom closet if you need me.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Not a bit!

Git,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

I'll be coming after you with an axe.

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

I knew it.

You are so bad,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

MIONE!

Horrified,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

Thank you, thank you.

Its Ethan's fault,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

What?  *looks innocent*

Love,

Mione

* * * *

Herm,

You're a nut.

Anyway, have to go.  Have a practice session with Ethan in the armory.

See you when you get back here.

Signed,

Harry

* * * *

Mione,

Please don't kill me.

Have to go now.  Practice session with Harry in the armory.

Can't wait to see you.

Love,

Ethan

* * * *

Harry,

So are you.

Signed,

Herm

* * * *

Ethan,

Now why would I do that?

Can't wait to see you either.  It's killing me!

Love,

Mione
