Chapter 1
Canary Crèmes
Editor's note: all right I promise this is the last time I rewrite this! I know I've said that before but some kinks had to be worked out including some romances that I want changed. Plus some extra non Potter characters had to be um erm dropped. I do not own anything involved in Harry Potter that wonderful wide world belongs to its creator and genius JK Rowling.
"Kerri and Fred Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley shouted. Seventeen year old Harry Potter and Seventeen year old Ron Weasley jumped out of her way as she came running up the basement steps of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. "Um Mrs. Weasley her last name is Potter not Weasley." Harry dared to correct. "I know dear it's just its much easier to say with one last name." Mrs. Weasley said breathlessly.
In a split second she had grown feathers molted and returned back to normal. Harry then understood what had happened. Kerri and Fred by the looks of it had left unmarked canary crèmes in the fridge knowing Mrs. Weasley would want one. He rolled his eyes his twin sister liked getting into trouble so it'd make sense that she become friends with Fred and George but really this was ridicules!
Harry looked nothing like his twin sister. She had her mothers red hair and their fathers blue eyes. Harry on the other hand had black hair, green eyes and a lightening bolt scar. The reason for which they were spending their summers at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place and he felt guilty. He had only just found out after Sirius had been killed by Bellatrix that Kerri was his twin sister. Well it kind of made sense. They never had hung out together much but they had always looked out for each other. Plus they had the uncanny ability to read each others thoughts which got annoying at times but they couldn't even learn occulmancy properly. That's how Kerri was able to back up exactly what had happened in the graveyard in their fourth year. But she had always run with a different crowd.
While they had been at school Harry hung out with Ron and Hermione. Hermione and Kerri didn't like each other much. Okay actually it was quite alot. Hermione and Kerri had managed to tie every year for exams. Kerri just didn't appear to study very much and she was in detention for hexing Malfoy and other stunts she pulled almost every other night. Harry once asked her if she had ever felt any remorse and Kerri had said a very firm no. Kerri had hung out with Fred, George and Lee Jordan when they had been in school. Now that they were out of school she hung out with them in the summertime and hung out with Dean, Seamus, Melissa and Neville instead. The fellow Gryffindor in their year for both Kerri and Harry were Gryffindors.
Kerri however had been living with the McLands a wizarding family Sirius had placed her with after the attack on the Potter home. The only problem with that was Mrs. McLand had been sorted into Slytherin and Mr. McLand into Ravenclaw so they didn't understand why Kerri hated Slytherin so much. Also another problem wasthat Mrs. McLand was good friends with Narcissa Malfoy and the two were endlessly striving to hook Kerri and Draco up. So Kerri spent many a miserable summers at the Malfoy Manor only squezing in two weeks at a time with the Weasley's because she begged and or at Christmas time. Kerri and Malfoy hated each other if possible more than Kerri hated Hermione.
Kerri was more attracted to Oliver Wood whom she had liked since her first year. All though she spent most of her time in detention with him. Fred finally sick hearing about it hooked them up in the third year and it had been an on and off again relationship rather rocky and flying tempers. Fred meanwhile was Kerri's best friend and Harry wondered sometimes weather or not she ought to go out with him but she had managed to block him out on that one thing and refused to talk about it. Well it was obvious how Fred felt about it but he wouldn't talk about it either Ron reported.
"Harry I just remembered the answer to fourteen B that I got wrong but I got the correct answer last night." Ron said. "Um what?" Harry asked him. Ron stepped on his foot. "Oh right yeah." Harry said and bolted up the stairs after him. They ran into Kerri and Fred Weasley on the stairs. Both of whom were grinning. "Did it work?" Fred asked eagerly. Harry wondered why George wasn't with them. "Yes and I've got the bruises to proof it." Ron snapped. Kerri and Fred laughed. Ginny and George came out onto the landing. "What's so funny?" Ginny asked. "Mum just ate a canary creme." Fred said roaring with laughter. Ginny broke into giggles but for some reason George scowled.
Hermione came up the stairs with a book in her arms about the size of a tombstone. "Bloody hell when do you have time to finish all that?" "I'd rather spend my time reading Ronald." "Your going to make somebody a boring wife." "Um Ron if you want to get the girl you don't insult her." Harry whispered. "I could lecture you on the childness of your prank but I won't." Hermione whispered. "Then why say anything about it." Kerri murmured. Since she and Harry had actually found out they were twins they had begun hanging out a little more Kerri and Hermione had called a truce but they weren't very good with it. Hermione scowled at her. Kerri smirked. "Anyways Fred everyone your mum says its time for dinner."
Harry, Ron and Ginny followed her down the stairs. A big pot of stew was on the tables and butterbeers were around. Kreacher was scooting out of the kitchen. Harry loathed the sight of him. Sirius's killer. Well Bellatrix was and when Harry saw her. He caught Ron looking anxiously at him and Kerri's look of concern and immiadetly changed his thoughts. Harry hated being in Grimmauld Place but it was his fault they were here.
Last summer the Weasleys had gone to collect Harry only to find their home in ruins with the Dark Mark over them. Mrs. Weasley sent Arthur an owl who had been at work and Harry had given them Grimmauld Place. He didn't want or need it. The doorbell rang it looked like they'd be having other order members over for dinner. In walked Professor Snape with his daughter and only child Stacy Snape (lots of information cropped up at the begining of the sixth year, Tonks and Remus, and Oliver Wood behind him Arthur and Percy Weasley with his wife Penelope. Arthur and Percy seemed to be in a heated discussion and Oliver looking horribly uncomfortable.
Harry saw Oliver first but before he could warn Kerri she saw him too. Her face slackened. They had not seen each other in a year and after the breakup as promised Oliver had not written once. He was even supposed to be dating Angelina Johnson. Unless that was just rumor. Oliver's face paled when he saw Kerri. Unfortunetly the seating arrangements couldn't have been worse. Kerri sat between Oliver and Fred and Kerri Harry who was on the other side of them could have cast a spell on the tension in the air with a knife. It didn't help that across the table from them Percy and Arthur were arguing.
"I'm not joining the Order dad and that's final." Percy said hotly. "The minister thinks its a good idea." Mr. Weasley said. "Since when are you and the Minister on speaking terms?" Percy asked. Penelope looked down at her hands unsure if to say anything. "Since Rufus is now Minister instead of Fudge." Bill iserted jokingly he had just shown with his wife Fluer and their little girl Alisha. "Very funny now stay out of this. You know I don't and won't ever support He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named but I will not join the Order. Penelope do you mind spending the night dear excuse me father." Percy kissed Penelope and left into the rain that was know pouring down outside. "Prat." Fred muttered.
Kerri looked at Oliver finally. "What are you doing here?" She demanded. "Uh oh." "He's a member of the Order that surprises you?" Stacy interupted. Dark haired like her father she was a miniture Snape but complete with her own attitude that was if possible worse thant Snape's. "I'm also here accompanying you to diagonalley and to school tomorrow." "Then so am I." Fred said. Mrs. Weasley and Kerri looked pleased. "Fred I thought you weren't coming." "Change of heart." Oliver glared at him. "What? It's not like you are around."
"Um you know what I left my potions homework a bit late so I've got to finish it." Kerri said getting up. "You had better finish it or that is detention and a D." Professor Snape said. "Well you know I've finished mine so I'll help you." Harry said hastily. "Hey wait for us." "You know what I've um passed the course sort of so I'll go help." Fred smirked at Oliver.
Half an hour later it was a large group Bill, Mr. Weasley, Penelope, Tonks, Remus, Oliver and Fred were taking the students to Diagonalley. A lot of shops were closed now but some like Madam Malkin's Robes and Flourish and Blotts, the Apothecary had stayed open for students but only for a limited hours. Kerri avoided Oliver as much as possible and tried to stick close to Harry and Fred. Oliver kept trying to get her attention but to no avail. Harry decided to take him aside in Flourish and Blotts.
"What are your intentions?" Harry asked him. "What?" "Why do you want to talk to my sister?" Harry demanded. "Because I feel like I've been a stupid asshole and I want to marry her." "What? You guys fight all the bloody time now." "Harry not helping how involved with Fred is she?" Oliver asked. "I don't know why? She won't talk about it look if I knew anything I'd help you honest. But she won't talk to me about it you hurt her pretty bad so you better come up with a large apology or Fred just might win her heart."Harry him. "I'll do it I'll do whatever it takes." "Aren't you with Angelina?" "God no she loves Fred." "That'll help."
"Ah Miss McLand I trust your stay at the Malfoy Manor was enjoyable?" Lucius Malfoy asked. Kerri looked up frozen. "Mr. Malfoy um yes it was." Kerri lied sending silent help waves to Harry who came over with Fred and Oliver. "Good it was lovely to see you again dear. Draco sends his love." Kerri almost choked with laughter maybe a curse from Draco. Still a year or two in Azkaban had hardly changed this man's arragance or devotion to the Dark Lord. Kerri absolutely hated the Malfoy family. "We'll see you at Christmas." Lucius walked away with a smirk on his face. "I had an absolute horrible time and your sons well slime under my shoe. It's amazing how easy it is to hex Draco." They got the supplies they needed and left.
It was a quiet group that returned to Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. The adults sat around talking in the kitchen they were waiting for Dumbledore. The others Kerri, Hermione, Ron and Ginny stood on the stair cases going to their rooms. "Extendable ears?" Kerri asked deviously. "They're mom will have thought of that." Hermione warned her. "Oh honestly where's your sense of adventure you've done much worse polly juice potion second year?" Kerri said knowingly. "It died." "Obviously and I thought you'd do anything for a just cause." "For a just cause and this isn't one." Hermione said crossly slamming the door to her and Ginny's room shut. "What a pitty. She's just jealous because I have my own room." Kerri said returning hers. "Well there goes the truce we had." Ron said. "Yep but I knew it wouldn't last." Harry said. "Eh well night Harry." "Ron we're sharing a room." "Right." They went to bed.
