/./ means telepathy.

Please remember, I'm new to all this, so please be nice!!!

Disclaimer: Only have rights to Flame and Steel, if even them. Do I own them? Beats me, just know I'm borrowing the rest! Sorry for the wait!

Let me try to explain a bit here. I'm sure this will answer some of your questions, if not then they should be addressed at the bottom. The Malfoys could only have one magical child. Eldest was a total jerk, like them. They love him. But he's not their magical child. Draco, sweet kind and loving. Total sweetie. They hate him. Magical child. To try and make him like his brother, they beat him for years. Doesn't work. At about five he starts sneaking off to an art studio. At about nine or ten, they use a spell so that his brother has control of him. One summer, he throws off his brothers mind and seeks help from Dumbledore. The help gets him to be very close to Harry. Then in the seventh year, you get the prologue. Extra tidbits, Draco has a little telepathy, just enough to communicate with other telepaths, Kind of tell what people are feeling, and get a sort of map of where they were. More on that later. And, this is very important, HE AND HARRY CAN HAVE MORE KIDS!! This is a result of all the abuse and magic used on him from a very young age. The abuse most likely wont be mentioned very much. Reasons why Draco didn't tell Harry might be explained later, but for now remember that I said he was abused and so he thinks that people will hate him if they find out about it. Yes, he knows Harry loves him, Draco's just insecure. More at authors notes.

Flame and Steel chapter 1: Steel

Hermione walked to the head master's office. She had been teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts for six years now, and she knew that when Albus wanted a favor, you did it. And it was going to be big if you were asked to talk to him in private. Like this time. She sighed. When was life going to be peaceful for a change? When she got to the gargoyle, she said the password, 'Pocky.' It was supposed to be a Japanese candy. Hermione greeted Dumbledore.

"Good afternoon, Albus."

"Good afternoon, Hermione. Care for a lemon drop?"

"No thank you."

"Tea?"

"If you don't mind, I would like to know what you wanted me to do."

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. You know that we are having two Japanese girls attend this year?"

"Yes, though I don't know why."

"It is because of their parents. Now you must listen and not interrupt me until I finish."

"Alright."

"These two girls are the twin daughters of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy."

"WHAT!!!" Hermione shrieked. "THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!"

"I'm afraid it is. I'm sure you know about Draco being abused as a child. Well, there was always a possibility of Draco being able to give birth, and now we know he can."

"But-"

"Hermione, they were born July 12, eleven years ago. Draco specifically asked that they come to Hogwarts. And you know more about Hogwarts than anyone else. Quite simply, they need to know some one close to Harry, because they don't know he's there father. They understand about Draco carrying them, but he only hints as to who there other father is."

"What? You mean, they don't know anything about Hogwarts?!"

"They know a little, but not much. I don't really know. Will you wait on the train?"

"Yes Albus, but only because I may need to do some damage control."

(Meanwhile, in Japan.)

"'Tousan, do we have to go to that school? It sounds boring."

"Yeah. And what about my dancing?"

"And my fighting?"

"I swear, I'll get you into summer classes!"

"Do we have to leave in the middle of the school year?"

"Yes, England schools start at the end of summer break, instead of winter."

"Brilliant."

"No more sarcasm, out of either of you. And please behave for your Professors. Understood?"

"Yes, 'Tousan."

"Love you."

"We love you too."

"I'll miss you."

"Miss you too."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (On the Train)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione was sitting in the back compartment. Dumbledore had sent an owl to tell the girls to wait for her there. She wasn't too sure that he was telling the truth about the girls' heritage. After all, Draco couldn't have conceived them, could he? No, he must have been cheating on Harry. It was the only explanation. Little did she know how wrong she was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(On the Train, Still)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girls had separated. One was heading towards the back of the train. /Kaji Chan? Any luck finding our 'professor' yet? /

/Nope. How about you, Naif? /

/Not yet. I'm just about to the last one though. Hey! There's some one in there! /

/Send me an image? /

/Here. / Tagged to the mental message was a picture of a woman, about 29. She had a bit bushy, brown hair, and big brown eyes. Very pretty. /I'll see if she's our professor, and you head over if she is, okay? /

/Fine. /

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (With Hermione)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione looked up as a first year walked in. She noted that the girl looked a lot like Draco Malfoy, except that she had vibrant green eyes. The girl also had a lightening bolt shaped scar on her forehead. Then the girl bowed and started to speak.

"Excuse me, but I was wondering if you were Professor Granger?" Was this one of the girls?

"Yes. Why do you ask?" Before she replied, the girl thought to herself, why can't they exchange business cards here like back home? It would make things a lot easier.

"My 'Tousan received a letter from Professor Dumbledore saying that you would be on the train to speak with me and my twin."

"What does 'Tousan mean?"

"Dad."

"Oh. What is your name?"

"Please forgive my rudeness!" the girl bowed. "My name is Steel Malfoy." Steel Malfoy? What kind of name was Steel? Before Hermione could ask about it, another girl came bursting in.

/Took you long enough, my twin. I told you it was our professor. /

/Brag later. /

"Steel des ka?!!"

AN: The reason Draco sent the girls to Hogwarts is because they needed to know Harry. Plus, they've been apart for many years, and Draco wants to see Harry again. That, and Hogwarts is an excellent school. Why does Steel have a lightening bolt shaped scar? Let's pretend that the scar actually became part of Harry's genes. Yes, it has a purpose. I think. It should.

By 'Steel des ka?!!' just think 'Where the hell have you been, Steel?!!'

I'll try to answer other reviews later. Thanks to those who did review, by the way. I really didn't think I'd get any.
