Betrayal
Fred was listening on the extendible ear first and he wanted to scream after what he hears.
"Dumbledore… you know that it is becoming more and more difficult for those kids to be his friend, he is driving the living daylights out of them. Hermione is a smart girl and she doesn't like being outsmarted. Ginny is tired of trying to gain his affections and being a lovesick puppy. Ron is just pain getting bored of Harry's selfless attitude. I myself am too becoming annoyed by the boy, soon the money you gave us to do this is going to no longer be enough to keep us motivated." He heard his mother say harshly. Fred was surprised and handed the ear to George unable to hear more. What George heard was sadly not much better.
"I understand that you want your family paid for befriending the boy, but you must understand that we need to be careful. If Harry finds out that we have been lying to him his whole life, he could destroy us all. Not to mention what he would do if he found out that we have been keeping him away from his soul mates." George heard Dumbledore say, his eyes widen and he hands the ear to Harry, who was starting to get very confused.
"I can't believe that my babies are his soul mates, it is absolutely horrible. I didn't even need to bribe them with money to be the boys friends and the three of them are getting closer and closer. What if they start to feel the mating pull towards each other?" Harry heard Mrs. Weasley say very worriedly, he kept on listening.
"Molly, the potion that you have been giving them since birth will take care of it. Your twins will not ever feel the mating pull as long as them and the boy never kiss. Ginny will get the boy to fall in love with her by whatever means necessary, if she has to start giving him love potion then so be it. The boy will be surrounded in people that he trusts and his parents will not be able to touch him. He then won't join the other side against our cause because he believes that our side is the right side. But if those twins of yours stop taking the potion then they will hardly be able to stop themselves from kissing the boy and then they would feel the mating pull. You understand how important it is that they do not mate with each other right? If Harry makes love to both of them than all three of them are going to be Immortal just like the boy's parents and that could be the end of us all. The boy and the twins can never know that they are soul mates or the boy will never die, the boy must die in order for us to win." Dumbledore's voice sounded calm but also very serious about what he was saying.
Harry continued to listen wondering what else they had lied to him about, he knew very well that they were talking about him. "Why don't we just kill the boy and get it over with?"
"Because if we just kill the boy then the potion on the twins will no longer work and they will be given all his power, not to mention that they will know everything. No, the boy has to be killed by natural causes, by accident, or by someone who is not on our side. I was so hopeful that one of the Dursleys would do it for us, not to mention the fact that James and Lily would have never guessed that we would leave their son at Lily's sister's house. We must get along with wishful thinking." Dumbledore answered with a sigh.
"What about Black and the wolf, why don't we just kill them?" Molly asked.
"Because they are just here merely on the pretense of watching after the boy. That is all that they are allowed to do, but if we kill them. Lily and James will send someone else that is allowed to do much more and will do so. Then there is the fact that we would have no explanation for the boy and he would be able to figure everything out. No, we mustn't just kill anyone that bothers us, we must think this through." Dumbledore said.
"Let's tell the others that I'm not feeling well and go back to Grimland place. We shouldn't let them know that we know yet." Harry said trying to be calm as he gave the ear back to Fred.
The twins nodded and the three of them went to find the others. They told the others quickly that Harry wasn't feeling well and that the twins were just going to take him back. Then before any of them could respond, the twins disapparated them and Harry to Grimland Place.
Once they were in the twins room, Harry broke down crying. He didn't know what he could believe anymore. Through his tears he told the twins what he had heard. "They know that we're soul mates. They know and they have been trying to keep us apart. They have been giving you a potion that makes you unable to feel the pull to me or something that only stops working if we kiss which we have and that's why our love is so much stronger now. They want me to die because it's the only way to get them to win the war. My parents are still alive and I was just taken away from them, because they are on the other side. They want me to die, and they know that we are soul mates. I don't know who I can trust anymore."
"That's not even all of it, apparently our whole family is being paid to be your friends and family. Really they all can't stand you, it's all a lie, you're whole life is a lie." Fred said as he too cried.
"The potion?" Harry asked looking up at them with tears still in his eyes.
"We stopped taking that right before our third year, before we even met you. Our mom thinks we still take it but we just dump it out each time she gives us a new bottle, it had always made us feel weird." George answered kissing Harry's head.
"Your mom is going to start being more careful about making you drink it now, she has been reminded of just what will happen if you guys don't take it. I think that it's okay to drink it now, after all it's supposed to not work after we kiss, and we have kissed quite a bit." Harry said running a hand through his untidy hair.
"Yeah, from now on we will drink it all right in front of her, she won't suspect a thing." The twins agreed. They all jumped when they heard a knock on the door.
"Hey, we heard crying. Is everything okay?" They heard Sirius's voice say, Harry let out a sigh of relief and nodded to the twins.
"Come on in." They called, Sirius and Lupin opened the door and came in.
"What's going on, why were you crying?" Lupin asked sitting down on the bed opposite of the boys.
"We found out that we had been lied to our whole lives." Harry said bluntly then demanded. "Now I want you to tell me the truth, what has been going on?"
"Harry, how do we know that we can trust them?" George asked worriedly.
"Because Dumbledore said something about them being sent by my parents to watch over me. You should trust them because they are two of the Marauders, my dad is another one." Harry said, and the twins nodded in understanding.
"Well you see that is just what Dumbledore thinks, we have been sent here to do several things. Our two most important jobs are to keep an eye on you and to find or help you find your soulmate. Once you find your soulmate then you can become Immortal and join us and your family without risk of this side hurting you." Sirius explained.
"I've already found my soulmates." Harry informed him.
"Soulmates?"
"Fred and George, they are twins and they share a soul." Harry explained as he leaned back onto George.
"Ah, I see. Your family will be happy to hear that. Are you aware of how to become immortal?" Lupin asked.
"I have to sleep with both of them." Harry answered blank faced.
"Both of us? You mean at the same time?" The twins both gasped.
"No of course not I don't think that is even possible. Plus you're twins so that would be wrong or something. No not at the same time." Harry said shaking his head quickly.
"Tell me about some things that I have been lied to about." Harry asked, nicer this time.
"Well for one, Tom is not evil he is a very strong and selfless person, Tom isn't even Voldemort he is just framed to be. Dumbledore is the real Voldemort. Also Tom's followers are not called 'Death Eaters' we are a kind of Elf. And though the wizards don't know it, our soulmates are always Elves as well. We like wizards can do magic, but we have a different kind of magic that wizards often say is more powerful but it's not, it is just different. Like the magic of the mating bond, which does not like to be tampered with." Sirius said.
"What's the difference between Wizards and Elves?" Fred asked.
"Well for one thing more things just come naturally to Elves, we learn faster and do better. Elves are also more pleasant to look at, more handsome or more beautiful. Elves also tend to like adventure and doing new things which for many cases makes them a bit mischievous and daring, that includes pranksters. Elves are very good with animals and can often speak to one type. Wizards see all these talents and become very jealous, they do not see the bad as well. Like how cold Elves feel before they find their mate or difficult it is for them to have children. Like their knack for getting hurt before they mate or pain they feel when we have been away from our mate too long. They don't understand how easy it is for Elves to get their souls damaged." Sirius said.
"Our souls get damaged easily?" George questioned.
"Yes, after you have mated, a spirit or soul tattoo appears, it is called by both. Your tattoo runs across your body often in the form of your spirit animal, that with practice you can turn into. If your soul is ever damaged then it shows on your tattoo, also if you are ever get injured in the same place as where the spirit animal is in that moment then it will actually hurt your soul. There are many other things that can damage your soul as well." Lupin explains.
"I wonder what we would be George!" Fred said excitedly to his twin.
"I already know what you two are." Harry told them with a smile.
"Really, what?" They exclaimed.
"You are the Coyote! People with a coyote totem are usually known as tricksters and jokesters, making them excellent prank masters. Their senses of humor are highly intelligent, but they have to remind themselves to be the voice of reason sometimes, because sometimes they focus on having fun, maybe too much fun, leading them to unwanted situations in life. Coyote people aren't just tricksters, but have an incredible amount of wisdom! They are a jokester, they reveal the truth behind illusion and chaos, and they are very playful." Harry told them smiling.
"You're right that is definitely us!" Fred exclaimed and George nodded in agreement.
"I think you would be a lion Harry." George said, "Because lion people are known to be courageous, brave, but at times, not so friendly. They can be extremely territorial over what is theirs, and people need to watch out for your "intimidating" nature. But lion people also make wonderful friends, standing up for others with confidence, but can be impulsive from time to time."
"I guess that I can see why that would be mine." Harry agreed. "But i'm still not ready for that kind of step just yet."
"Of course not, you guys are in no rush. Rushing a bond is also really bad for our souls. Just wait until you're ready. And we'll be here for you when you are." Sirius promised before excusing himself and Remus from the room, letting the boys have their moment.
"Kiss me," Harry pleaded as soon as the door was closed. Fred wasted no time in attaching his lips to Harry's. And George wrapped his arms around Harry's waist from behind and leaned his head on Harry's shoulder.
The three stayed like this, basking in each others warmth, for an hour before the rest of the family got back and they had to go down to the kitchen for lunch. When asked what they had been doing Fred and George went into an epic tail of getting lost and finding vampires and ghouls and battling them. Harry rolled his eyes and whispered to Ron that they just played exploding snap and the twins showed him some of their new ideas.
Somehow, Harry could face his friend who he had just found betraying him and pretend nothing had happened at all. Maybe, he had simply decided to get over the betrayal, for he wasn't planning to stay by his old friend much longer. Or maybe he had realized that Ron wasn't that good of a friend anyways. Either way, he found it all too easy to lie to his friend. And he had a feeling that it was only going to get easier.
(A/N: Harry Potter does not belong to me in case you didn't know, neither do any of the characters. Yes this is going to be a light side bashing and Harry just not knowing how things actually are before now fic.
