Both the twins had the biggest smiles as Hermione turned bright red at the mention of being their wife. That is how Kingsly found them, a red Hermione sandwich with a pair of red headed twins he hadn't seen for years. Not since the night he hadn't been able to report for a mission do to being ill and the twins went without him as they said it was a low threat surveillance mission that turned out to be a trap.
"Hermione… care to explain why my Auror partners/best friends are suddenly not dead and for some reason they are flirting with you?"
Hermione looked up to see Kingsly looking rather pale despite sounding calm in his question. Kind of an accomplishment considering his deep chocolate colored complexion.
The twins looked as if they were about to greet Kingsly before Hermione put her hand up and shot them a glare.
"Kingsly, we need to talk in your office. There is to many ears and eyes here. Are you free for a few hours? I have a feeling you are going to need to ask questions and on top of that there is a lot to tell you. Oh, and we need to get paperwork done to get these guys their wands. I can't keep lending them mine."
Kings raised an eyebrow at her being able to control the twins with a look and hand gesture but said nothing. Instead he just nodded and waved his hand to have them follow him across the Atrium to his personal lift that took them straight to his office.
The moment they got to his office his wand was out putting up privacy and silencing spells while Hermione locked his offices main door as the twins locked the door behind them.
"Nice to see your still as paranoid as minister as you were when you were an Auror, also we have got to say… " Fabian started
"You aged well, looking good kings! If we weren't do to marry this little spitfire and if we were the same age, we would probably ravage you!" Gideon finished leaning against his brother looking Kingsly up and down like he was a glass of water and they just came out of a desert.
"Guys I really don't want you arrested for sexually assaulting the minister even if he is a dear friend of ours." Hermione sighed, while Kingsly had a smile growing on his face.
"You guys couldn't handle me when you were in your prime you definitely can't handle all this now!"
He replied back a huge smile now on his face.
All of the sudden they walked across the office and hugged each other.
"Its really you! How? How are you back? What's mina got to do with it?" Kings said after pulling back from the hug.
This time it was Gideon to speak first. "Mina? Hmmm we may have to steal that. Still working on a nickname to call our princess. Anyways this little spitfire was having problems with this pesky marriage law. Being minister I am sure you have heard of it. Well she couldn't find a bloke man enough to do the marring bit. She is a lot of woman you know, despite her size."
"So, because none of the men here were man enough to step up and marry this angel, she decided to do a spell with Minnie. Real old one too. The spell is to bring her soulmates to her from wherever they may be. Well that 'Wherever' bit of the spell is quite literal as it brought us and 2 others back from beyond the vail. But the other blokes won't be up and living for atleast another day or so." Fabian finished
"Oh, and we can't forget I also have 4 more soulmates that are living that I won't get to know until after the ones from beyond the veil are fully regenerated, and yes I see your eyes bugging out kings. They regenerated, these troublemakers showed up in Hogsmeade, not but skeletons floating above the water right off the main bridge. Scared years off some poor towns people. Minnie and I had to obliviate the poor man that let us know so he wouldn't have nightmares." Hermione paused to take a breath as Kinsley's mouth was open in shock and the twins chimed in at the same time with a "WICKED!"
"At least my other 2 dead soulmates were more considerate and showed up at the castle instead of me having to go fetch them." Hermione joked with a playful sigh.
That seemed to snap Kingsley out of his stupor to actually form sentences.
"So, Mina you are telling me that you have 8 soulmates and that 4 of them were dead and these 2 knuckle heads are the first of the 4 that were dead to regenerate." Hermione nodded as Kings continued "Hell Mina I knew you were strong but to need 8 wizards to balance you out… that is just crazy! Also, if these 2 are anything to go by your mates are going to strong in their own right. I mean while they may not have to much in the way of sense, but they were some of the strongest Auror in our time."
The twins seem to have preened themselves at the complement without noticing the jab that happened before it.
"Look Kings, we all know how happy you are that the twins are back. Hell, we just came from the Burrow and had to doge to the floo to get out, but we are here for official business. We need to get them reinstated get them wands plus we are going to need to go to Gringotts and see if the Prewett vault is still sealed seeing as Charlie is technically the heir, but I don't think he ever claimed it. Think it was something about not needing much money on the reserve. That being said I think that if Charlie is fine with it the twins can take back the title and vault seeing as Charlie has said before he has no intent on getting married or having kids and as he doesn't live in England he is not being forced by this law."
"Mina, it seems like you got your hands full. Like always it's seems you are taking on the lions share." Kings said shaking his head trying to think about all the forms he would have to pull for not just the twins but her other 2 mates that had yet to 'Finnish cooking' as he was sure one of the twins said under their breath. Kings started a list of all the forms he would have his assistant pull for them.
"kings, do you mean that our princess here is a Gryffindor? I would have had her pegged as a raven for sure. Too smart with too many books to be anything else." The twins looking at Hermione with their heads tilted like looking at her from an angle would make her from a different house.
"Guys, you are marrying not just a Gryffindor. No, you are marrying THE Gryffindor Princess, brains of the Golden trio, a Hero of the second great wizarding war and of course the brightest witch of the age. She holds more N.E.W.T.s than anyone aside from Lady Ravenclaw herself. This woman is the reason the 'chosen one' even made it to the fight to end you-know-who. Without her he would have died in his first year at Hogwarts. She is one of 3 to have earned an order of merlin before age 18. The other 2 are the other members of the golden trio."
The twins whistle low before turning to Hermione and bowed down saying "were not worthy!" with a giant grin on their faces.
"Kings I thought we discussed this. I want to get by on my academic achievements not by my war time ones. They were a necessity to survive not something I wanted. And you Muppets get up off the floor. You knew that I was in the war, you saw it on the other side. You just want to be dramatic."
"party pooper!" the twins said getting up off the floor. "We are just trying to pass the time as it seems kings is trying to make us legally alive again.… weird I never thought I would have to say those words." Gideon said looking from Hermione to Fabian just as he started to speak "I know what you mean, not many can say that they came back from the dead, I think maybe 5 will be able to say that. Us the 2 in Mia's bed and her friend Harry. Kind of an exclusive list to be on. Also, kings if you need the names of the other 2 we will tell you but we want to keep it from Mia." Fabian added with a smirk "It going to be a hell of a surprise that will tell her a lot and I don't want to ruin it. So when you fill out the paper work leave the 2 blank and we will tell you after she signs so you can fill it in."
Hermione reached across Gideon to smack Fabian "I want to know you prats! Tell me!"
Together the twins moved out of Hermione's reach than said "NOPE, you got to wait! Don't try to take our fun away!"
