Author's Note: Hey, to everyone who reviewed and explained the half twin thing, thank you. Amazing how much science advances. I just don't get why fanfics do it that implies Lily was unfaithful to James and somehow carried two embryos at the same time. OR why they would have Lily be unfaithful to a James Potter who had grown up and stopped bullying at this point (with the exception of Snape, but I digress).

One reviewer said half twins could have different fathers...the issue is that they wouldn't be twins without artificial insemination. The fics I have heard pull this or have read parodies of involve Lily having twins born at the same time with two different fathers. Thank you all again for the clarification.

Sorry for the long absence, this is not a fic I am going to religiously update.

Harry took a swig of pumpkin juice and spat it out in disgust.

"Bloody awful!" He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked at the aghast faces of the students around him. "Who would make pumpkin as a juice?! It's so sugary and disgusting!"

"Then don't drink it," Neville said kindly, "No one's forcing you to."

Harry rolled his eyes at this, "What else am I supposed to drink? All we ever have is pumpkin juice -"

"Mate, you know that's bullocks," Ron cut in, "We have other drinks, too."

"Like what?"

"Like apple juice?" Ginny retorted. Harry looked at her in puzzlement. She continued, "There's orange juice, tea, water." She leaned across the table as she said this last bit.

"T-t-there's no water..." Harry said meekly, before Seamus talked over him.

"You do remember me trying to turn water into rum first year, right?"

Harry felt as though his ears were burning as he nodded, the memory coming back to him at once. Seamus had burned his eyebrows off for the third time that week when it happened and it was also the same day he and Ron read The Daily Prophet talking about the break-in attempt in Vault 713.

Hermione looked at him with annoyance, "Why did you drink it if you didn't like it?"

Harry had no answer to that and slowly sunk into his seat.

Hermione shook her head at this and returned to her reading, "Honestly..."

Author's Note: Authors on this site are aware that there are other drinks in the Great Hall served other than pumpkin juice, right? Every time I read a scene where Harry takes a swig of that and spits it out, I can't really feel sorry for him. He loudly complains about how there are no other drinks being served - which is inaccurate - and acts incredibly rude about the whole thing. In character, I think Harry would just swallow what he was drinking and not touch it for the rest of the night. Does he ever complain to Hagrid about his cooking every time he is offered rock cakes? No, because he doesn't want to hurt his friend's feelings and because that would be more in line with what Malfoy would say.
