Recovered and revealing themselves
Over the next couple of weeks Brooke kind of avoided the others although she just couldn't stay away from Ron for too long- He was her boyfriend. He was the only one of the three that didn't ask her questions so she spent a lot of time with him and helping him with homework. Ginny and Hermione kept asking her questions and it annoyed her. Ginny had asked Harry but he wouldn't tell her either. He wasn't ready. He was still trying to comprehend it and was healing at the same time. When Brooke got a chance she would go see Harry and talk to him about Ron, how annoying the girls were being, gave him his homework, told him about the classes and also helped him with his homework. Actually she would more or less tell him the answer. She also couldn't seem to keep things secret from him for too long. Dumbledore said it was the connection of being a twin.
As time flew by, Brooke found herself waking up on the first day of November. Harry was coming out of Hospital, they were going to finally tell the others about them being twins and he would have his first classes. He had been in the infirmary for around a month and it was now time for him to get back on his feet.
Brooke got out of bed and dressed in her pleated skirt, her shirt, a jumper, the Gryffindor tie and put on her robes. She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, brushed her hair and went downstairs. Ron was waiting for her at the bottom. Brooke hugged him and gave a peck on the cheek. "Morning" said Brooke smiling. "Your certainly happy" commented Ron. "Sure am, I've got a great boyfriend, Harry's coming out of hospital and you'll be happy to hear you will finally get to know what's going on"
"Finally", "Yeah, Finally" came two voices from the couch. Brooke couldn't see them but she knew it was Hermione and Ginny. "Come on Ron, Harry's waiting for us, so we can tell the news together". Brooke pulled Ron out the portrait and down the hall. Ginny and Hermione followed as Brooke went straight to the infirmary. When they got their Brooke pushed the doors open and went straight to Harry. She saw he was already awake. Morning. I guess its time Brooke sent the message telepathically to Harry. Harry nodded. Brooke went over and fussed over his sheets and than gave him a kiss on the forehead. She sat down on the bed and turned to the three visitors. Ron was looking at them with an amused look on his face. Ginny and Hermione looked angry. "Are you just going to stand there or will we be here all day?" asked Harry.
The three quickly took their seats. Harry and Brooke had a secret talk through their minds. Than Brooke spoke. "As you know I had to come down here for a meeting with the headmaster. Well the big secret that some of you have been so desperate to hear that you wouldn't leave alone, that made us take longer to tell you is" Brooke looked at Harry and than back to them "- Is that Harry and I are related." No one spoke. "My Parents aren't really by biological parents. My real parents are Lily and James Potter- Harry and I are twins". More silence. "Now do you understand why it took us so long to tell you? Understand why Brooke got mad when you first asked. She was having troubling dealing with the fact that her parents weren't who she thought they were." Said Harry quietly.
Ron smiled "That's bloody brilliant mate. Cos if I ever married Brooke- I'm not saying I will because you never know what's going to happen. But if I did- you'd be officially one of the family. Of course you already are but you know what I mean". Ron came over and sat next to Brooke. Brooke leaned her head on his shoulder. "So you think you're going to marry me, huh?" whispered Brooke. Ron blushed, "Err.." Brooke nudged him with her elbow. "Don't worry about it. I thought it was sweet."
Harry was looking at Hermione and Ginny, waiting for them to say something. "I'm sorry I was so pushy Harry. I was just upset that you wouldn't tell your girlfriend what was going on. I don't like being left out" Apologised Ginny. "Its ok Ginny, but next time I leave you out of something, respect my wishes will you. Also Ron wasn't all cut up about not being told and I'm his best friend AND Brooke's his girl," said Harry. "I know, and I'm sorry." Harry smiled. He wasn't really mad. He just wanted the girls to learn a lesson. "I told you, its ok. But now Ron, I get to say to you what you always say to me" Said Harry as he beckoned for Ginny to join him. "What's that mate?" asked Ron looking at Harry. "If YOU do anything to harm my sister here, I will hurt you and that's guaranteed. Oh and we'll have to tell your mum that there will be one more for Christmas." Ron smiled "Don't worry mate. I can agree to that." Harry watched Ron look fondly at Brooke and smiled Maybe he will marry her one-day thought Harry. He turned to Hermione. "I know. I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it. I wanted to know, I hate when my friends keep things from me".
"You have to learn to stop wanting to be such a know it all. Something's your just not meant to know. Of course we forgive you. Your our friend." Hermione smiled and joined the couples on the bed. "Cool. Now can we please go to class?" Harry nodded. "I'm ready". They helped Harry out of bed, than waited for him to get dressed and than they walked slowly to transfiguration. On the way, they met Draco who was being his usual ignorant, pompous git self. "Finally out of bed Potty. I thought you would have died. Than you could have gone and spent time with your Mudblood, freak mother." Draco sneered. Before anyone knew what was happening Draco was flung to the ceiling and than slammed back down. He was shot with a purple light and he sprouted feelers on his face, horns, a tail and green spotty skin. He was scratching himself before he fell down face forward after being hit with a leg locker curse.
They looked at Harry, "What? I didn't do it". They turned to Brooke who was glaring at Draco. "You did it?" Brooke nodded and walked over to Draco who was trying to get away using his hands to push himself along. Brooke magically dragged him back with out using a wand and started to circle him. "Don't you ever talk about Harry's mother like that EVER again. Do you understand you pureblooded ignorant Moron. Your ego needs taking down a peg or too. I thinks it's high time you knew how stupid you really are," raged Brooke. She had her wand in her non-wand hand realised Harry and she had it extended plus her real wand hand was outstretched. Harry saw her slightly flick her finger and Draco flew up to the ceiling, than came back down, than he went up again and came crashing back down. Brooke circled him again "Guess what? I never liked you and I never will. I was just stringing you along, making you look utterly ridiculous. You followed me around like a puppy dog- you are so sad. I've always found you snobby, a complete jerk, a loser and you're spitefully mean" she sneered.
"You're a spoilt brat and nobody likes you. Your goons only hang around you because they think you hold power. They are so stupid- and Pansy. She's delusional. If you ever talk about Harry's parents like that again you will regret it to the day you die. If you dare hurt any of my friends, lets just say your future wife won't be getting any children from you. Is that clear?" Draco was looking at her in horror at her last statement. Harry was biting back laughter. Brooke had bluntly told him- hurt them and I give you my version of a hysterectomy. Brooke than preceded to change Draco's hair into a colourful rainbow and made JERK appear on his forehead. "Now away with you" Brooke flicked her wand and sent Draco flying down the hall with his cronies lumbering after him.
"Wow, that was bloody brilliant babe! Remind me not to make you angry" Exclaimed Ron, putting a hand on her shoulder. Ginny looked amused and Hermione was horrified. "You could get in serious trouble Brooke. Like expulsion." Brooke just smiled "Relax Miney. He deserved it. No one talks about my brother and parents like that. He will regret hurting any of us! So will the rest of the pureblooded jerks who think they can rule. It's also time Fudge be thrown out of office. Corrupt git." Ron was looking at Brooke with a look of admiration mixed with fear. "That's great. No more of that ferret annoying us! Did you really mean what you said you'd do to him if he hurt any of us" Brooke smirked "Oh yes. Making sure he had no kids would mean no more of the moronic death eater Malfoy line."
Ron paled at the thought of her getting angry with him. "Don't worry babe, only Malfoy and other death eaters get that treatment. You know if we don't hurry we'll be late for transfiguration. Were starting on actual Anamagi transformations. We postponed it because people weren't getting the whole idea of changing into an animal." Brooke led them down the hall towards transfiguration. Ron was by her side; Harry was behind her with Hermione and Ginny.
Ginny looked thoughtful for a second "How come you said to him don't talk about Harry's parents like that? There yours too". As Brooke wasn't looking at Ginny, Ginny didn't see Brooke roll her eyes. "Because I haven't gotten use to calling them my parents. Plus I didn't want to tell him- he can find out when the rest of them do. Dumbledore said we could tell people and we will. But I just wanted Malfoy to think I was hurting him because he was being cruel and that I wanted to tell him how I really feel about him." Ginny nodded and they continued down the hall. You used wandless magic. I know you did said Harry to her through telepathy. I know. I've never done that before. I've never felt so powerful either thought Brooke back.
Maybe I was tapping into your power. You are a powerful wizard Harry. The prophecy says so. You haven't unlocked your true power yet but your becoming more powerful every day. I just know it continued Brooke. Interesting. Just try not to hurt him too much next time mused Harry to her. Brooke burst out laughing and than caught herself. "What's so funny?" asked Ron "Oh nothing" said Brooke. They bid Ginny goodbye as they separated at the transfiguration classroom.
