Sorry everybody, but this is the final chapter. Thank you mist and neutrino for your reviews. I'm sorry, but I don't go for the flirty stuff so I don't think I'll add any, sorry again. Also Holly said that Juliet was her twin because Artemis had already told his parents that Holly was Juliet, so they needed some sort of explanation. Thanks, and enjoy this next chapter.

POP!
Suddenly two red headed boys appeared next to Ron.
"Sorry there." Said one. "Couldn't help ourselves." One was holding a wand and pointing it at Juliet, She was obviously not under the mesmer's power.
"Who are you?" Asked Artemis staring at the Identical twins.
"Not very inviting is he George." Commented one.
"Not really." Then turning his attention to Artemis "So you're the weird child mastermind?"
Artemis did not reply.
"I'm Fred and this is George." Said Fred, holding out his hand.
"Artemis Fowl." Said Artemis, although he did not shake hands with Fred.
"Fred! George! What are you doing here?" Asked Ron.
"Why Ron!" Said George, putting on a look of deep hurt. "Can't we look after our little brother? Besides, we heard that you went to stay with Mr. Moneybags himself! Time is Galleons little Ronnykins."
Artemis almost pitied the boy called Ron. He himself hated when people called him "Arty" or said something like "Artemis, isn't that a girl's name?" He suddenly felt that it was his duty to stick up for the red head (which was surprising for Artemis rarely stood up for anybody but himself.)
"You will not have ANY of my money." Said Artemis calmly. That was extent of his "standing up for other people" mood.
"certainly, certainly." Said George. "Why, you would need a reason to give us money."
"Don't do it!" Ron hissed at Artemis.
"Keep talking...George, was it not?" Said Artemis, ignoring the person that, just a minute ago, he had held deep sympathy for.
"Well, we hear that you're in a bit of a dilemma over the war and everything. We have inside information my friend. You see our parents work for the Order of the-"
"GEORGE!" Bellowed Ron, Harry and Hermione (who had just awoken when she'd heard the POP!)
"-the...er...Pizza! Heehee," Harry finished for his friend's siblings.
"The order of the Pizza?" Artemis asked, "Do I look stupid to you?"
Harry nudged Hermione "This is the part where we hear how smart he is." He grinned.
Artemis indeed continued as predicted. "I, Artemis Fowl the second, criminal master mind who has made millions off of a simple hacking device entirely made by me, have the-"
"Highest IQ in Europe and probably in the world!" Butler, Juliet, Holly and Harry finished with him.
"and," Artemis continued, pretending that he had not noticed them, "I find it hard to believe that a secret society in which wizards discuss the under goings of an under cover war between the people and the wizards is called 'the order of the pizza'"
"If I may," George stepped up, "Its actually called the order of the-"
"Pencil!" Fred filled in the blank,
"Fred!" George crossed his arms, "What, so now you're on their side?"
"Well, yes, you see, I know something that you don't...well you do, but you didn't know I knew it until now, in fact, I didn't know it until now but I might as well let you know that I know it now that I do, don't you think?"
George scratched his head in confusion.
"You're Lord Voldemort!" Fred pressed, "George and I may like our money here and there but we'd never hand out the Order of the Phoenix's name to the most evil child genius since Percy and no less tell him how the People and the Wizards are being plotted against to wage war with one another through the conniving hands of...you."
Artemis and Holly were both writing this down, one on a hand held computer and one on a pad of paper that she had used earlier.
Harry, Hermione and Ron followed the conversation with deep concern and Butler and Juliet played rock, paper, scissors, the plot didn't really catch their interest. "I could write a better plot than this," Juliet muttered and then was promptly deleted from the story.
POP!
"What was that? Oh MY GOD!?!" Shouted George looking at the figure that had just apparated by his side.
"Sorry, couldn't help ourselves- George? Why didn't you say the line with me?!? We've been working on this all morning!"
Everybody blinked at the second Fred that was standing next to George. "HOLY SHI-!" began everybody.
Artemis Hissed. "Not so loud!"
"I...I..." Said George pointing at the other Fred. "But there's two of you..."
"Actually." Said Holly. "There are three of you. Geeze, who came up with this sick twist?!?"
"Ah hah!' George said, "That's the real Fred, which means that you are Voldemort, The order never knew that you had been manipulating the People and the Wizards!"
"But thanks for the info!" Said the newly apparated Fred.
"Well, it may appear that I've lost this fight but what you have failed to see is that this is a revolving platform that we're standing on here, lets see who's who after we've mixed it up a little."
The space of floor that the Weasley triplets, were standing on began to revolve to the right, it started slow but increased in speed until the three of it's occupants were just red headed blurs.
"What idiot thought of building this?" Hermione scoffed. Artemis himself couldn't remember why he had put it in and 'failed' to answer the question. Eventually the floor came to a stop and it was apparent that the true Voldemort would not be giving up easily.
"Well that was unpleasant," Said one, striding towards Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Don't come any nearer!" Harry yelled.
'What? Harry, Its me, Fred."
At this point Butler got up and easily dragged the triplet back to the center of the room.
"We have to figure out which ones are the real Fred and George! But how?" Harry said.
"We'll ask questions," Hermione replied.
"that only the true Weasley twins would know the answer to," Artemis added.
"I've got one," Ron said, "You!" He pointed at one, "Who's my best friend?"
"Hermione of course, you talk about her all the time."
'What?" Harry asked angrily, Ron blushed,
"er...bad question," he admitted, "Why don't you have a go. Harry?"
"Er.. alright," Harry said, "How did I get the tri-wizard tournament money that I gave to you for your shop?"
"Tri-wizard tournament," They all said in unison, "It would help," added one, "If you didn't give away the answer in the question."
Hermione's turn, "What," She said clearly as if on a game show, "Was the name of Ron's pet rat?"
"Scabbers," Answered one,
"Scabbers," Answered another.
"My loyal servant Peter Pettigrew," answered the last, and then "oops,"
"Well," Hermione shrugged, "Technically their all right, this is harder than I thought,"
Artemis rolled his eyes, a feat that he was getting used to ever since he'd met Potter. "You idiots," He said, "The Fred that admitted to being Voldemort has been wearing different colored robes since he's gotten here, see? The real twins have been wearing a very loud color of lime green, where as this fellow decided on a sinister black, which," He added to the found out Voldemort, "I must ask, where did you get it?"
"Do you like it," The Voldy-Fred asked, "Its Armani,"
"Highest of quality," Artemis chuckled.
"-and expensive," Voldemort said, "Which reminds me, I left my credit card here this morning, I was swimming in your pool when Potter gave me quite a scare and I rushed out forgetting it, along with my towel. Would you happen to know where either of those are now?"
Harry was still sopping wet from his sloth-grip frenzy and guiltily got off of the towel he was sitting on, he held it up and then dug the credit card out of his pocket.
"You," Voldemort said as he snatched the items from Harry, "I'm supposed to kill you, aren't I?"
Harry felt his scar burn, "Ouch!" He said, "Can this wait until the end of the Hogwarts school year? I'm kind of ritual oriented, if you don't mind."
"No no," Voldemort said, the pain stopped, "That suits me fine, see ya next year!"
"Well," Holly said as Voldemort left, "I guess there's only one thing left to do,"
"Yes Captain Short, "Artemis nodded, "Take these," He was referring to Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred and George, "Home,"
Harry's heart sank, he had been rather looking forward to spending another cozy night at Artemis's, as they all filed into the Limo Harry asked "Is it possible that you could take me to the Burrow with Ron?"
"Well that would be rather confusing for you, wouldn't it?" Artemis chuckled, Harry drew a blank. "You won't be remembering any of this, Holly? I think its time for a mind wipe,"
"Wha-? 'n guys. We won't tell anyone and..."
"No no Mr. Potter. That just wouldn't do." He smiled evilly.
"He's got a point," said Hermione. "If we knew that him and Voldemort were working together then we'd most certainly tell Dumbledore the first chance we got."
"Working together!?!" cried Harry, Ron, Fred and George.
"Honestly!" said Hermione. "Didn't any of you work that out?!?" They all shook their heads.
"Yes, yes, well as interesting as that may be, we will still be performing the mind wipe. And Holly here is going to put you all under the mesmer and ask you a few questions. I hope that suits everybody, but you really don't have a choice."
Hermione, Harry, Ron, Fred and George all drew their wands. Then in an instant, Fred and George vanished, apparating to somewhere safe.
"FRED! GEORGE!" Bellowed Ron. "You can't leave us here!"
Artemis scowled. "I forgot about that. Holly, Butler. Disarm them."
Harry blasted Butler with a disarming spell. Guns, grenades, daggers, sprays, a sword, and throwing knives all jumped out of Butler's pockets. But this didn't even distract the bodyguard.
"You'll find that Butler is perfectly capable of ridding you of your wand with his bare hands." Commented Artemis
"Wingaurdium leviosa!" shouted Hermione, pointing her wand at the oncoming LEPrecon officer. This had little effect seeing as how Holly had already been in the air, but she was thrown back slightly.
"Listen." Said Holly, hovering in front of Hermione and Ron. "You can either come quietly and not be hurt, or you can struggle and if need be, I'll blow your brains out with this neutrino!" she held up an odd looking gun. Ron shivered.
"You can't!" said Hermione. "If we go missing then everybody will be suspicious! Face it! You need us, you need our information, and if you promise to lower your weapons then we'll promise tell you everything."
"Drop your weapons Holly, Butler." Said Artemis.
"But-" Protested Holly.
"Just do it! Ok Miss Granger, Mr. Weasley, Potter, Have a seat." They all sat down in leather armchairs next to the library's fire place.
"Now let's begin with you three. You are now aware that you have walked carelessly into a trap, without research, caution or any other wariness. You have offered to talk freely, but I have no reassurance that you will not perform some ridiculous spell on us that could leave us defenceless. Hand over the wands, and we will continue peacefully."
Harry and Ron shrugged and handed over their wands immediately, Hermione however did not move.
"Fowl. I'm not as stupid as you make me out to be. Why would I hand over my wand?" Questioned Hermione. Ron and Harry took this as a hint and tried to retrieve their wands, but to no avail. Butler had already placed them in a safe, and Holly was guarding it.
"Exellent point Miss Granger, but now you are truly defenceless, even with that pathetic stick. You have under estimated Artemis Fowl. Why would I give you a chance to tell me possible lies and then go off and tattle to your headmaster? No no, that would maybe be something that Riddle would do, but not me. Holly, please continue with the mesmer." And then he added, somewhat regretfully "Goodbye, I shall regret this very much, but I see no other way."
Harry Potter awoke with his scar burning. He'd been having a strange dream with a faerie, and a boy, and a mountain of a man and...and Voldemort. But it was all fading very quickly. He sighed and put on his glasses. Glancing at the calendar he realized that today was his birthday. He congratulated himself looked at his desk where he saw 1...2...3....4 presents! He looked through them. The first two were from Ron and his Mother Mrs. Weasley. It came with a note.
Dear Harry,
It's been ages since I've seen you and yet...it seems like only yesterday. Anyhow, mum says you can come to the burrow whenever you like. By the way, when are you going shopping for your school supplies? I need a new wand, I lost mine and mum's going nuts. Anyhow, I was hoping that if you don't come to the burrow then we could meet there. Happy Birthday, enjoy your gifts.
-Ron
Harry smiled and read the next letter which was from Hermione. It was very similar to Ron's except...
Dear Harry,
I've talked to Ron. I'm going to stay with him at the burrow for the last week of summer break. I hope you'll come too. Ron and I are going shopping for new wands too, hope that you'll join us. Have a very Happy Birthday and enjoy all of your presents. And I hope you haven't forgotten everything that that Fowl kid did. I've already contacted Dumbledore I...
The writing changed.
...Hermione would like to say that she is very sorry that she could not finish her letter to you. Happy Birthday,
-Holly Short...er...Hermione Granger.
Harry shrugged, he personally didn't care where the present had come from so long as it was his to keep. He dug into the last present and found...an Armani suit. He stared at it with disgust and threw it into Hedwig's cage as bedding.
The note was from "Anonymous "
Dear Mr. Potter,
I do hope that you enjoy the gift. It did, after all, cost me over a thousand pounds (A/N ...Not sure how mush they cost). It's your size and I hope that you will take good care of it and wear it at your school. I regret that we could not be friends but I'm afraid that it wouldn't work out with the war and all. If anybody finds that I've written to you they will be very angry, but what can they do to Artemis Fowl the second... I mean... anonymous? Happy Birthday.
Harry reread the letter and threw that also into the cage.
"Lousy presents." He muttered.
The End
So how was it? I realize that the Fred, Fred and George situation is somewhat confusing, so here's a little info on it. The Voldy-fred said that George was Voldemort so that nobody would blame him, which confused everybody. There you go, is that a good enough explanation? If you have anymore questions then please email me at . I'll be happy to answer any questions, and please REVIEW!
