I only own Drey.

Two days later the Gryffindors and Slytherins were paired up at Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid and Charlie were teaching a lesson about dragons. Charlie had conjured up insubstantial copies of the dragons and was pointing out how each aspect of its design contributed to the animal's power. However they weren't getting much attention as nearly everyone's attention was focused onto the forest, or more specifically the colourful dome of energy covering the forest.

It had been there since a few hours after the twins had entered the forest. No sound had been heard from inside since, the court was frantic with worry, although they were hiding it well beneath the Slytherin façade, and the rest of their house was nearly as bad. Bill hadn't been able to teach his classes properly he was too worried, Harry and Neville had been hopeless in lessons, even Snape was acting a bit scattered, although making up for it my biting the head off of anyone who even breathed out of place. Ginny had taken to staying with her oldest brothers, Harry and Neville when she wasn't in lessons. She had no great love for the Slytherins but the maliciousness the other houses were displaying drove her mad, their insensitivity towards obviously worried people was amazing. The fights between Slytherins and Gryffindor had risen to an all time high because Gryffindors were continuously bating the house about the twins, although they had learnt not to do so around Harry and Neville unless they wanted a black eye. Even Neville had punched Dean when he said something about Drey, Ginny slapped Ron, and no one went near Harry anymore, he had beaten a seventh year to a bloody pulp when he had said something about Draco.

Seamus wasn't doing so great either, to the bewilderment of Ron and Dean, he seemed to be staring at Blaise a lot, and when they were in the library, supposedly working on their project, he had been reported t be supposedly telling Blaise that he needed to eat more. All of Slytherin was looking exhausted. Unknown to the rest of the school they spent each night in their common room trying different spells to break the field, to get in touch with their King and Queen, but to no avail.

"Will ya please pay attention." Hagrid roared, shocking everyone's focus back to him. Just as he and Charlie were about to start teaching again, music burst from the forest. The class fell silent, as did everyone in the school, as the sound washed over them. It was high, clear, pure music, like angels singing, each person could feel the music's light descending on them, cleansing them. As the music swelled the field around the forest slid down and into the ground and the twins stepped out.

They weren't wearing the uniforms they had entered in. Draco was dressed in loose white cotton trousers that hung just below his hip bone, an open silver shirt showed off a chiselled chest, his eyes were glowing a molten silver. Drey had a halter neck dress with the top half being a pearl colour, the ankle length skirt was white, and her eyes were glowing the same silver as her brothers. Resting on their foreheads was a perfectly round, flawless diamond, held around their heads by a delicate silver band that disappeared under their hair. The colours in their hair were glowing brightly, and as soon as they left the cover of the forest the courts colours started to glow, their faces moved to an expression of wonder and one by one the court descended onto their knees, heads bowed. Followed by every other Slytherin, then Harry and Neville, and slowly Seamus. Their faces were filled with awe, wonder, and love. But the Gryffindors were staring with disgust, and faces full of ridicule at the kneeling Slytherins. Except for Hermione, she was curious, she was sure she recognized the picture they formed, the clothes, the diamonds, but at the same time, they looked infinitely different to anything that she had ever seen before. Charlie and Hagrid were too busy trying to control the dragon copies, which seemed to have gained a life of their own.

Regally the twins walked forwards towards the class, disregarding the group of teachers and other students that had gathered around the entrance to the school. Walking through an aisle between the students, kneeling and standing, adoring and hating. Until they stood before their kneeling court, in unison they placed a hand on each strand of colour and whispered a few words. Avec la nouvelle magie nous te lions, et accorder de nouveaux pouvoirs qui aideront dans notre tache. To Vince and Greg it was telekinesis, Blaise was telepathy, Pansy was empathy. Then they continued. Harry was given fire and a citrine streak in his hair, which was then added to the twins collection of colours. Neville was water, and an aquamarine streak; Seamus was earth and a malachite strip of colour. Then, to the shock of all the Gryffindors, Bill shimmered into existence next to the row of court members, he was also bowing, and the ritual gave him control of air, and a streak the colour of lapis lazuli. Each new colour glowed strongly and the four new members of the court were surrounded by swirls of their chosen element, they looked up in wonder and the twins and the original court smiled at their new members, enjoying the sight. Then, just as Dumbledore stepped forward, probably to calm down and ask for an explanation, they looked at each other and the twins and the newly improved court disappeared. Leaving a lot of Slytherins with newly improved faith in their leaders, and Gryffindors who were angry, and very confused, except for Hermione who was dying to get to the library and see if her assumptions were correct.

"What the hell just happened?! Please. Feel free to tell me. Anyone. Anytime now." Seamus gave up, threw his ands in the air and then slumped down onto the mosaic floor. In front of him the two Malfoys and their original court were clustered around Harry, Bill and Neville. Drey and Pansy were lifting the strands of newly coloured hair and laughing at Bill's face as he complained about having blue in his hair. Just as he looked up his green eyes locked with Blaise's ice blue ones. They held each other's gaze for a few moments, until Drey appeared and forcibly pushed Blaise in his direction, telling him to explain everything to Seamus. And by everything she meant the court and that they needed to get together soon because the feelings in their hearts were driving her nuts, they were so strong she couldn't block them out. Then she turned back to the gathering that was settling onto a marble wall next to an onyx unicorn sculpture.

"It's not anything scary you know." Blaise started hesitantly, his new telepathy picking up on thoughts screaming from the object of his affection, panicked thoughts about being indebted to Malfoys.

"What?"

"Being a member of the court. The twins aren't like Lucius; they'll never hurt on of their own. And deep down you must be pleased about it; otherwise the spell wouldn't have taken." He looked up into the blond boys eyes and saw an emotion glimmering beneath their surface that just escaped his reach.

"I know that, and except for what the rest of Gryffindor will say, I don't mind that much. I get to be closer to you anyway." The last part was whispered under his breath, supposedly unheard by Blaise, but he heard and thoughts whirled. "I just don't understand what they want. Why they want me." He looked up at Blaise, expecting an answer, but instead he got a pair of soft lips covering his own, after the initial shock he opened his mouth, and slowly their tongues started exploring each others mouths. They remained like that for several minutes, and while they were distracted, they didn't notice the slight liquefying feeling in a small part of their minds. And the feel of their thoughts extending towards each other and intertwining. Completely unnoticed by them an unbreakable bond had formed between them, a bond that would take them time to understand, but would give them more pleasure than anything else.

"Now, that is a show." The pulled apart when they heard laughter and clapping from the rest. Blushing they turned to face them. "Oh don't stop boys. Please." Laughing Pansy and Drey collapsed against each other in tears. Neville looked embarrassed, Bill looked a bit confused, mainly by the fact that his girlfriend was practically rolling on the floor with laughter. Greg and Vince, Harry and Draco were looking pleased for their friends, but slightly distracted by thoughts running through their heads, wishes of engaging in activities like that with the boy standing next to them.

Seeing the mortified faces of the two boys Pansy and Drey stopped laughing and ran forwards, throwing their arms around them and soundly kissing each one on the cheek, and then proceeding to sit in their laps. "Don't be embarrassed. It's about time the two of you got together. You've been undressing each other mentally for years." Mortification turned to embarrassed laughter, and soon all tension was eased.

The silence following was comfortable, all the occupants of the grand room being comfortable in each other's presence. No matter how bizarre it seemed. "I still don't understand this though." Bill stated. "How could you bring us into the court and give us extra power. No one should be able to give power over the elements or mind." Everyone suddenly realised that what had happened was actually impossible, as one they moved their heads to stare at the twins who looked abashed at the looks being directed their way. "I suppose you want an explanation then." Draco looked glum, he and his twin were wondering just how they could explain what had happened in normal words. It was so much more that that.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed. Silverone3: thanks, I needed to move it forward but I didn't want it to be boring though. Morena Evensong: Yeah, Snape'll be really nice to the Slytherins in this story, although he might not be so pleased about the new members of the court. Beth5572: thanks for the review. Beserker Nightwitch: the temple will all be explained in the next chapter, and I'm going to have the new court breaking a lot of rules. They've got to really; they're hardly in a normal situation.
