Chapter Seventeen: Twins

Harry smirked at the surprised faces of the order members his wand pointed at thier faces, a dark gleam in Harry's eyes as he glared at them. The surrounding area stood in dumbstruck silence as the watched the scene unfold unable to pick sides. Draco nudged Harry lightly on the side letting him know he was with him.

"You've got be one chance to clear out of here." Harry declared in a powerful tone, his wand giving off a black shine to it in the hopes of letting loose some of its power. Harry had chosen his light sided wand for this certain duel, he wanted to so them just how dark light spells can be.

"You know cousin, I don't believe they should even get that. After all they called you by one's most hated name." Draco said a low drawl but loud enough for the others to hear him. Harry thinking to himself and taking everything in, noteing Draco's hidden meaning and smirking.

"Yes cousin, I do believe you're right. After all the name's Orion and not some disgusting Potter." And with that Harry vanished in whirl of his cloak using this method of travel to mask his own power to the point it looked like he was merely coping Dumbledore, the only side effect was the fact that he hated short range apparation. Now standing behind Tonks Harry fired off two spells on a cutting hex that was aimed at a store window sending the glass into shards. The second a summoning spell, its attempted item the glass that had fallen. Tonks believeing the spell had been aimed at her sent up a reflector charm to no success other then distracting her long enough for the shards of glass ripped into her back and out the other side, Harry cancelling the spell here side stepped a stunner sent at him by Kingsley. Draco on the other hand was in a duel with Mad-eye and taking a leaf out of Harry's book summoned the glass to himself while Mad-eye stood in front of him. Though the same achievement wasn't an option as Mad-eye used his magical eye to see behind him and quickly turned to banish the glass, only to be hit in the back by a full body bind by Draco.

"Sucker." Draco muttered under his breath and banishing the prone form at Kingsley who was dodging a reduction hex by Harry. The speeding body slamming into tall auror and sending him slamming into a wall with enough force to crack the stone wall. Though the auror appeared to be made out of stronger stuff and tried standing only to be hit with three stunners straight to his chest and again slammed into the wall, though this impact send him through it. But niether Harry and Draco had been the ones to send the spells.

"Are you alright Harry?" Luna Lovegood declared stepping out of the crowd from the north, her once dreamy expression changed into one of pure fury. A look Harry decided he never wanted directed at him.

"He had better be. Or I'll hex those bastards into next year." Snapped Lavender Brown stepping into the clearing, her eyes holding the same expression as Luna's.

"Come on guys, give him more credit then that." Said a smirking Neville Longbottom a few feet from behind Luna. "After all, he's the one that taught us all." He finished stepping up to Luna's side lazily rolling a shiny new yellow wand in his hands. Harry turning his attention to Neville stood confused for a second about his sheer progress in the confidence department but that quickly changed as all three of them pointed thier wands at Draco. Harry sensing the curses on thier lips jumped in front of his cousin, who was sure to hurt them if they attacked him.

"Cool down with the fire works." Harry said calmly looking the three of them in the eye, all of them giving him a nervous look but complied none the less. Harry nodding to them made his way over towards Kingley's, picking up the man's wand before he revived him.

"Go back to Dumbledore, and tell him I'm picking up where my grandfather left off." Harry said calmly tossing the man back his wand. "And you might want to get Tonks to the hospital. She'll die in a few more mintues." With that Harry turned around to the four people who had thier wands trained on the man behind him. "Well then, lets get going shall we?" Harry said with a smile on his face, making Draco roll his eyes.

"There is something wrong with you." Draco said putting his wand away and following after him. Harry smirking at his cousin's comment decided not to answer and instead drew attention to Lavender who was currently pulling on the sleeve of his robes.

"I don't suppose you have heard from Parvati have you?" She said in a low undertone, her eyes shining with a hidden knowledge. Harry shrugging to himself again decided not to answer as he pushed open the door to another shop, a large sign of WWW showing brightly as its label. Harry soon finding himself in a round flooring that strongly reminded him of Honeydukes of Hogsmeade.

"Why hello there and welc-" One of the red headed twins stopped short looking over the collected group in a confused daze. "Harry mate... did you know Draco Malfoy is standing behind you?"

"Because if you didn't we'll take care of him for you." Said another twin from behind them catching the group off guard and forcing them to turn around. "So how bout it mate. Shall we off him?" The twin asked with his wand pointed directly at Draco's chest. Harry despite himself cracked a smile at the fear in Draco's eyes, he was nearly as strong as himself but still looked frightened.

"No, I rather like having a wizard cousin." Harry drawled slowly, smirking inwardly as the looks of the people around him changed. Draco looking smug, Neville and the twins shocked, and the girls a faint smile on thier faces.

"Hmm, well then." One of the twins said trying to change subject. "What brings you by to see me and Fred over there." George said putting his wand back into his pockets and walking over to the front of the store. "Gave us a right scare there Harry. Your neighborhood being destroyed and all."

"Must have been one hell of a prank then." Fred said in a proud tone, puffing out his chest for a moment. "You should get in contact with the old crowd. They are looking for you." Fred said in an under tone stressing the old crowd part, causing Harry to roll his eyes.

"I know, I just found a couple of them on the street." Harry said with a smirk, Draco snickering at his side. "And I'm here to try to persuade you to take a diffrent route then them." Harry said in a serious manner, looking Fred right in the eyes. Only to have both twins burst out in identical laughter.

"What's the buisness attitude-" Fred began, Harry rolled his eyes knowing what ensured.

"All you had-"

"To say was-"

"Give me a hand-"

"And we would-"

"Been there with bells on." Fred finished happily, the other gyffindors in the room shaking thier heads while Draco stared on in confusion.

"Do they do that all the time?" Draco muttered eyeing the two of them with caution.

"Like they breathe." Harry said with a sigh before turning back to Fred. "Well then, give me a hand. I'm going to be fighting this war on three sides, and I'll need your help." He finished waving his hand to them. George slapping his hand on Harry's shoulder shrugged.

"Sure mate, we'll help. In fact, we were coming to get you today." George said walking past him and heading towards Fred. "There is something we think its important you need to know."

"Our parents made Ron the heir of the family." Fred said with utter distain in his voice at the mention of his brother. Harry raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"How is that even possible? I thought only the eldest of the family could hold the title." Harry questioned, only to be answered by Draco instead of the twins.

'Its possible, if the heir consents to the passing of blood. They pass on the burden and title to the next in line, it doesn't normally happen, but its not unheard of." Draco said furrowing his brow. "But why would the Weasleys do it? And why that certain weasel?"

Fred on the other hand didn't look phased by the term used for his brother. "They wanted someone to keep an eye on Harry here. So they forced us to do the passing while we were still underaged." Fred said with a sigh.

"If only we could have fought them a bit more. But the rules for that are set in stone." George said with a powerful sigh. "Its a shame we could only retain alittle bit of the gift." He finished with a smirk, his eyes dancing with excitement. Catching Harry off guard, and the rest into open gaping.

Hey there,

Sorry that took forever to get here, my computer crashed on me. I had to restart all the out-lines for my stories. So they'll be a little random for a chapter more or so... but the out-lines should be done soon, and I'll update faster.
