Veritaserum
Disclaimer: -Sigh- How I wish I owned the Weasley twins -goes off to day dream about it- but I do own the idea of the Lightningbolt though it's not all that special (and no I'm not talking about Harry's scar -laugh)
A/N: Eep, sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. I had a bit of a decision to make on where to go with the story and then I had writer's block. Anyways, without further ado I give you Veritaserum chapter three.
P.S: This chapter contains malexmale relationships and there will be more in the story as it progresses. If you're thinking of flaming me because you don't like that I made some characters homosexual then go ahead, they make me laugh and are very amusing. Especially when they sound like this; 'omg u cant lik mke insert name here gay!11!1! I h8 u' Yea those are my favourites I print 'em and put them on this little wall I have for flames…Not really but it would be funny if I did.
Ten o clock found Hermione sprawled out on her couch her feet propped up on a pillow and The Advanced Book of Spells Grade 6 in her hands. Flipping the page, her eyes skimmed the pages; speed reading while she waited for Cinna to return home. She knew he would take a while, since she had sent him to both Hogwarts and the Burrow. Even so, she was getting impatient, she wanted to leave before her parents came home so she wouldn't have to answer too many questions. The witch had already written and left them a note saying where she would be, and that she would leave Cinna at home. Not that they'd really even notice I'm gone, she mused to herself as her fingers turned to the next page. Over the years, she had become much more independent than she used to be, and Hermione's parents had always been a little distant with her.
Since the room was deathly silent, (other than the sound of a page being turned every once in a while), the girl on the couch was easily able to hear the ruffle of wings that signalled Cinna's return. Sitting up, she dog eared the page she was on, closed her book, and then held it in the palm of her left hand, her right delving into the pocket of her jeans and taking her wand out. With a wave, the book shrank to pocket size and lost most of its weight. Putting her wand away, Hermione reached over and grabbed her ocean blue cloak, fastening it around her neck before dropping the spell book into one of the inner pockets where the rest of her school things were, they had been shrunk also.
Walking into the kitchen, she called for Crookshanks, smiling as the half kneazle came up to her and twined in between her legs. The young witch chuckled a bit and looked down at him.
"Now stop that Crooks, you're going to make me fall over!"
Chuckling again, she walked over to Cinna's cage, which had been left open, and a grin lit her face when she saw a pouch tied to his leg along with a letter. Taking both things off of the owl, she gave him an owl treat before closing his cage and walking over to the counter . Taking her wand out again, she unsealed the letter her, eyes skimming over the contents which made her grin grow wider.
"Dumbledore gave me permission, Crookshanks, just like I thought he would. Although I wonder how he knew that I only needed to Floo to one place and that I have no intentions of coming home."
Shrugging to herself she tucked the letter away in her cloak, then picked up the pouch of powder. Walking back into the living room, she looked down at Crookshanks, who had followed her. She didn't want to drag the ginger cat everywhere with her, but she couldn't leave her at home, so, she decided she would Floo to the Burrow, drop Crookshanks off, and then very quickly and hopefully without being seen Floo to Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
Leaning down the witch picked up her familiar cradling him in her arms and then carefully took a pinch of Floo powder and stepped into her fireplace glad her family never really used it. Closing her eyes she dropped the powder and said loudly. "The Burrow!" Very quickly she was spinning at alarming speeds and she didn't dare open her eyes, all she could do was hold Crookshanks tightly and hope she didn't get sick.
Once all the spinning stopped, Hermione nearly fell out of the fireplace, but caught herself in time. Looking around, she caught sight of Ron and her eyes widened and she blinked multiple times as she saw a Ron look-a-like sitting next to the real Ron. Since she was in the middle of the kitchen and the two boys had her back to her, they didn't notice her presence yet. Shaking her head again to get over the shock of seeing two Rons, she decided that it was Ron and someone, hopefully not Harry since she needed to talk to Harry, playing some kind of prank. It must be Fred or George, since Ron and Ginny can't use magic, she thought to herself as she let Crookshanks go, which is where all the trouble started.
Hermione hadn't noticed that there was a wolf lying at one of the Ron's feet, and when she put Crookshanks down, it was obvious the cat was more observant then her master for, he streaked out of the kitchen and out into the garden. This brought attention to where he came from, and Hermione not wanting to be seen yet panicked and took her wand out pointing to the Ron on the left. "Stupefy!" She watched as Ron slumped onto the counter and then she turned her wand on the other teen. "Stupefy!" Her spell was quickly countered by the other wizard who had pulled out his wand the moment he heard the unknown girl behind him Stupefying Ron. "Protego!" Hermione's jet of red light ricocheted off of the shimmering shield the other had conjured up. It hit a pot and rebounded back towards the boy, but it streaked past him and hit the wolf who was standing and staring at Hermione. Once the spell hit her, the wolf crumpled to the ground.
Hermione's eyes widened ,both at the shock of whoever it was being able to counter her spell, and seeing it rebound and hit the wolf. So shaken the witch was that she almost didn't realize the other boy had his wand pointed at her. Well didn't realize until he shouted the words "Impedimenta!" In which Hermione quickly brought up her wand again. "Protego!" This time the jet off light bounced off her shield and harmlessly out the window. After the surprised witch had watched the spell fly out the window, her eyes snapped back to the man who was throwing spells at her.
Her brows knotted in confusion as she saw that he had pale blue eyes and she knew for a fact that Ron had dark green eyes, which made her wonder who he actually was. Her gaze quickly moved from his eyes to his lips as she saw them starting to move in another spell. The young man finished his word shouting "Expelliarmus!" Hermione immediately whipped around , grabbed a fistful of Floo powder from the flower pot next to the fire place, ran into it, and dropped the powder yelling "12 Grimmauld Place!" and was whisked away, the spell missing her body by mere centimetres.
Leo stared at the spot where the very interesting, yet dangerous, witch had been standing moments before. He listened hard and didn't hear anyone coming. I wonder who that girl was. He thought to himself as he got up looking around for the cat or a trace of the girl even though he saw her Floo away. Shaking his head a bit he had to admit he was a bit impressed at her reflexes and the fact that she shielded off his spell and evaded the other.
Turning he looked behind him at the two Stupefied forms and decided it would be better if they were woken up, maybe Ron would know what was going on. First Leo wanted to wake up Calpurnia though, pointing his wand at her he spoke the words, "Ennervate" and for a moment nothing happened, but then the wolf groggily blinked her eyes and lifted her head. Standing slowly, the animal shook herself, seeming to be more awake the more she moved. Leo then turned to Ron, casting the same spell before slipping his wand back into his robes.
Ron lifted his head off the counter, looking around, and raised a hand to his head to scratch it. Turning, he looked at Leo.
"Oy, what happened?"
Leo shrugged a bit sitting back down on the stool he had been sitting on earlier.
"Well we both saw the cat run by, odd looking thing wasn't it? Anyways, I heard someone Stupefy you so I pulled my wand out and turned around, not really wanting to be hit in the back with a spell. There was a girl standing in front of the fireplace, obviously she stupefied you and she was going to do me in too but I conjured up a shield and we ended up having a little duel before she ran into the fireplace and Floo'd away, I didn't hear where she went though."
Ron blinked and screwed up his face, trying to comprehend what Leo had just said ,but in the end he couldn't and just ended up staring at him with a blank look on his face. Leo sighed a bit though it amused him slightly.
"A girl Floo'd in, stunned you, got in a small duel with me, and then Floo'd away again."
Understanding dawned on Ron's face and he scratched his head again. He was trying to figure out who would want to stupefy him and then his eyes widened.
"Maybe it was a Death Eater trying to stun us and then take us to You-Know-Who!"
Leo arched a brow dubiously and shook his head. "I highly doubt anyone that serves You-Know-Who would be carrying around a cat and have blue hair."
Ron's face fell a bit, he had thought he had been dead on but obviously he wasn't. "Oh yea, I didn't think about that."
Leo resisted the urge to say 'That's obvious' but he didn't and instead tried to change the topic of conversation. Seeing a letter on the end of the counter with Ron's name on it, he picked it up and handed it to the red haired boy.
"I think this is for you, here I'll open it since it's sealed."
Leo pulled out his wand, unsealed the parchment and then tucked his wand back in his robes handing the letter to Ron. Reaching down he scratched behind Cal's ears, watching as Ron opened the letter and began to read it.
Ron's eyes read over the letter and he grinned, Hermione wanted to come and stay at the Burrow. It was a little earlier than usual, but he was sure his Mum wouldn't mind. He wondered when Harry would come and visit, he would obviously want to stay as long as he could at Grimmauld place with Sirius and Remus. Turning his head Ron looked into the face of his almost perfect reflection.
"Hermione's coming to visit, I hope her ruddy cat doesn't eat Pi- Bloody hell! I think that was 'Mione who tried to stun us! Only Hermione doesn't have blue hair."
Ron looked confused as he thought about this, and Leo raised a brow. He had read about Hermione Granger in the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly, he nicked it off his Mum to see if anything good was ever printed in it, from what he read he thought Hermione would have been very bushy haired and on the ugly side but the witch who he had just gone to blows with was, on the contrary, sleek haired and very pretty.
"Oy, let's just forget about it until Hermione gets here, and then we can ask here"
Leo stood up as he said this, and he glanced around, finding it odd that no one was in the kitchen or anywhere really. Then he remembered that his Uncle had left for work after breakfast, the twins to their joke shop, Ginny had walked to Luna's house, and his Aunt had gone to Diagon Alley to do errands. Which left Ron and him very alone in the house, well other than the ghoul in the attic and Calpurnia.
Ron got up also nodding in agreement with Leo.
"Remember the look on Mum's face when she saw us? It was brilliant" He laughed a grin on his face.
Leo laughed along thinking back to earlier that morning.
Flashback
Leo and Ron walked into the kitchen, Calpurnia deciding to go and explore the garden while the boy's ate, and sat at the table acting like everything was normal. Although everyone else at the table, everyone else being Molly, Arthur, Fred, George, and Ginny stared at the two. Fred and George looked like they had just been hit by Impedimenta because both of their forks were frozen midway between their plates and their mouths as they stared.
Leo was the first to say anything. "Oy, what's going on, something on my shirt?" he glanced down as if inspecting his shirt for stains though really he was doing this to hide his grin. Ron arched a brow also looking at them like they were all nutters then he began to inhale his food being very hungry.
Mrs. Weasley was the first of the other's to snap out of shock. "Ronald Weasley what are you getting at?"
Both Leo and Ron looked up at the same time. "Nothing" They said in unison and then went back to their plates.
Fred and George looked at each other and then grinned. "It seems Ickle Ronniekins wants to follow in our footsteps, what do you think Gred?"
"Oh, I most agree Forge. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"That Ronniekins and his long lost twin would-"
"Be perfect test subjects for-"
"Our latest invention, yes I do think we're thinking the same brother dearest"
Everyone, with the exception of Mrs. Weasley and Ron, laughed the shock being dispersed with the twins humour. Though now the pseudo-twins were revealed, for the tips of Ron's ears were turning bright red and he was glaring at the twins, while Leo chuckled next to him. After a couple minutes, Ron cooled off enough to be able to enjoy breakfast.
Leo was introduced to the rest of the family, although he didn't transfigure himself back quite yet, being amused by the switch.
End Flashback
Leo wiped a non existent tear from his eye as if he had been reminiscing and then grinned looking over at Ron.
"Hey, fancy grabbing our brooms and seeing who's a better keeper?" He chuckled and then waited for Ron's answer.
Ron grinned "You're on, I'll meet you outside since my brooms already out there in the broom shed." Ron was sure he would win since there was nobody around to sing Weasley is Our King. How he hated that song, well the Slytherin's version at least.
Leo nodded agreeing on it and they both turned, Ron to go outside, and Leo to go upstairs and get his broom out of Ron's room. 'Nia stayed in the kitchen, preferring to go back to sleep then watch them throw a Quaffle at one another.
Leo stepped out side a couple minutes later with his brand new Lightningbolt, they had only came out a couple months ago. His father had given it to him as a gift for getting into the advanced classes he was in. The broom rested against his shoulder and he walked out to where Ron was waiting for him with his broom.
When Ron saw Leo his eyes travelled up to his broom thinking he would have a Nimbus 2001 or maybe a Firebolt but his eyes widened to the size of Saturn and his jaw dropped when he saw it was a Lightningbolt.
"Bloody hell, that's a Lightningbolt." It was obvious Ron wasn't in the right mind to do anything other than repeat the obvious.
Leo laughed and looked it over. "Yes it is, want a ride on it?"
If it was possible Ron's eyes got wider, and he nodded then went and took the offered broom and kicked off amazed at it's acceleration. On the ground Leo put a hand to his forehead to shade his eyes as he looked up towards the sky and watched as Ron flew around, he was going to fast for anyone to be able to see him and think he was anything other than a bird but just in case Leo lifted his wand and performed a Disillusionment Charm on him which made Ron and the broom blend in with the sky. Satisfied, his wand was put away and he leaned against the Burrow to wait for Ron to come down.
Hermione stumbled out of Grimmauld Place's fireplace, coughing and covered in soot. Her hood had been blown up and was halfway over her eyes which were stinging slightly which she had a feeling was from some Floo Powder that got in her eyes. Rubbing them, she blinked until the watering could stop and she could see. Not that there was anything to see other than the inside of her hood. About to reach up and push it down, she was stopped, her hand being grabbed by a man's and twisted up behind her back, she yelped in surprise and a bit of pain. All of this happened just seconds after she had gotten herself out of the fireplace so she was a little disoriented still and didn't even fight to get away.
In the next moment she felt a wand against her throat and Sirius Black voice which at the moment was very sinister.
"Who are you and what's your business here?" He growled into her ear obviously not being able to tell it was Hermione.
"Sirius! It's Hermione, Albus sent me an Owl saying she would be dropping by for a visit. Now let the poor girl go" Remus Lupin's voice came from the couch and Hermione had never been more happy to hear it.
Sirius loosened his grip on the young woman in his arms, his wand quickly falling away from her neck. After rubbing the spot gently, she turned to look at Sirius to see how he reacted to the news that it was her, she had to tilt her head up a bit so that she could see out from under her hood and so that she could see his whole self. He was standing there stark naked, (which made Hermione go bright red because even though he was many years her senior she still thought he was attractive) a sheepish smile on his face.
"Sorry about that Hermione"
Hermione just smiled a bit, then turned to see Remus, but her hood was in the way, so she reached up and pushed it off her head, which got her shocked looks from all three men in the room, Harry was on the couch with Remus. Hermione was a bit surprised herself as she looked at the two, Remus had his back against the arm of the couch and Harry was sitting between his legs with his back to the older man's chest, and Remus had his arms around Harry's stomach. Not to mention they were both completely naked as well.
Hermione, being the smart witch she was, quickly put two and two together and looked around at the three. "Well Harry, now I'm just wondering when you were going to tell me you were interested in men."
These words seemed to help make the three realize they were all standing around completely naked. They had been walking around the house in the nude since school let out so they had gotten used to it.
After a bit of embarrassment, Harry spoke up, not bothering to move from Remus' arms being comfortable there.
"When we got back to Hogwarts of course, I still like girls too for your information."
Light laughter followed this statement all around, which seemed to lighten the mood. Sirius moved back over to the couch, straddling Harry's lap as he leaned forwards and kissed Remus on the lips, in seconds the two were snogging each other's brains out. Hermione chuckled lightly at what she saw then she looked down to Harry who was trapped between them.
"Harry, I was wondering if I could borrow some money."
Harry smiled a bit not minding helping a friend, and it would get Hermione out of the house so the three men could go back to what they were previously doing.
"Sure thing, 'Mione. My key is upstairs in my room, take as much as you want and don't worry about paying me back."
Hermione grinned, "Harry, I would hug you, but I won't because you're obviously a little preoccupied."
Harry was about to ask what with, when Remus' lips covered his and Sirius attached his mouth to his godson's neck. Chuckling to herself Hermione went upstairs to go and find Harry's key.
A few minutes later she came back down, she had had to search through Harry's trunk to finally find the key hidden in an old sock. Planning to say good bye to Harry, Sirius, and Remus she looked over at the couch and had to cover her mouth quickly to keep herself from making noise. The three men were in a very interesting position on the couch. Still trying to be quiet and not draw attention to herself, she grabbed some Floo Powder from the pouch in her robes, stepped into the fire place and dropped the powder and at the same time speaking.
"Diagon Alley!" She saw the three men lift their heads and look towards the fireplace as she was whisked away.
A/N: Finally chapter three is done :) Hopefully no one wants to kill me for making Remus and Sirius gay and Harry bi, and if anyone does then sorry but it is my story. And next chapter Hermione spends some time in Diagon Alley and meets some very interesting people and animals.
