Request: If you read, please review. If you would like to be in the story just say so in your review along with a description of your character and I will squeeze you in. If you would like to beta this please say so in your review. I am re-writing this - by rewriting I mean I am adding in bits and expanding on some of the characters but it will take a while so please be patient.

Rating: PG- 13 for language and sexual situations and insinuations.

Summary: Because of the life Lily was born into, she had to grow up. She had to deal with things most people would never have to deal with in their lifetime. She had to become an adult far before her time. Now, when she's finally built a new existence for herself her present life and her past will collide, and in doing so, will open up a closet full of skeletons. Skeletons that were meant to stay secret.

Reviews: All reviews are welcome and wanted, including flamers. Constructive criticisms, as well as ideas, questions and comments are most needed. Anyone who has an idea for the characters, just say so in your review and I will get back to you about the story. I must warn you now however, that there will be very random moments in this story, loads of songs, and loads of hyperness induced by sugar. You have been forewarned.

Author's Note: Here it is. Sorry it took so long but I just started high school and it's taking me a while to get adjusted oh and in the next few chapters there are going to be tons of twists! Lily's thoughts will be in bold and Luke's in italics.

Chapter Five: Is It Just Me or Is It Really Cold in Here?

Lily brushed her auburn hair back into a low ponytail as she got ready to go see her grandmother. Her grandmother refused to see either of the twins in any thing less than in their Sunday best so she changed into a purple sundress and dressy sandals as she and Luke talked mind to mind about their upcoming ordeal.

I wonder why she wants to see us today? Thought Lily.

Who knows? She IS Grandmother, remember? She always has reasons but it's not like she tells anybody what those reasons are.

I know that, thick skull, but what do you think they are?

I think she's probably doing it so the wizards won't try to bully us around, you know to remind those that know about us who we are but that's just me.

Do you think they would try and bully us?

No, but for some odd reason Grandmere thinks they will so don't tell her that. And who knows she might be right. But if you tell her she'll get all haughty and send us back to cotillion. So don't mention any of it!

Don't tell your Dame how to nurse a foul!

Sorry. Sometimes I forget that you get along better with the Dra-

LUKE! She's our Grandmother! Show a little respect!

Or what? No one can hear us we're speaking mind to mind!

OR I'll tell Grandmama you called her a Dragon!

Ouch. That was cold. Real cold.

I know! It runs in the family!

Is it just me, or is it freezing in here? Honestly it was just a bit of fun!

I know but she can hear us so be more careful! Remember what happened the last time you said something that she didn't agree with? You couldn't sit for a week!

Oh yeah, I forgot.

How could you forget? We were sucked back in time! You were scared out of you wits and I wasn't much better off!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, do you ALWAYS have to remind me of that wonderful little fact every single time we reminisce about that event?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. It helps to keep you humble and gives me a good laugh. Besides, I still don't understand how you could forget it - on the trip back we landed in a mud pit and we had to explain to mother why we were covered in filth head to toe, and why we had been outside of the castle without a chaperone while NOT sounding insane.

Oh, quit whining. We managed it didn't we?

Yes we did but I always found it peculiar that mother seemed to buy our story especially when SOMEBODY, not that I'm saying any names, forgot that Jessica and Louis were in France and not in Britain at the time and we used them in our excuse. Plus, she seemed way too -

Yes and it's something you will never let me live down. Now get ready to meet me. I think I hear Jones calling. Brace yourself now. We gotta go see the Dra- I mean Grandmother.

Much better.

After one last one over in the mirror and a fluffing of her deep auburn curls, Lily went to meet Luke. On the way to the front of their home they collided and walked together, speaking in hushed tones. The twins walked down to meet Jones when they spotted someone in their father's study. Jones motioned for them to go in the study and as they entered they saw someone whom they had never seen before…
