A/N: Oops I have become suddenly aware I keep missing disclaimers. So this applies to the whole story:
Anything recognizable is not mine. It belongs to its respective owner/author/idea-thinker-upper. If something is similar to another fic I am very sorry, your story has obviously penetrated my brain. If it is practically copied then please say and I will change it. This shouldn't happen as the plot twists come from deep in my twisted imagination but just in case!
This chapter is for Emeralden Rapley. Your review really inspired me to write this that little bit quicker! Thank you very much!
This story isn't exactly a Dark!Harry fic but it isn't a Light!Harry fic either. Its somewhere in the middle.
"Speech" 'Thoughts' -Twin talk-
Chapter 6
It was nearing 1 o'clock when a shadow appeared and someone settled down on the soft earth beside Harry. There was no sound except the gentle lapping of the lake, the bats screeches and the occasional splash caused by a waving tentacle of the Giant Squid. When he turned his head slightly Harry could see the blonde Slytherin with his arms wrapped around his legs. The blonde boy offered Harry a small smile and held out the two scrolls but Harry waved them away.
"I have my own copy, keep them, burn them, whatever floats your boat." Harry sounded discouraged, as if he expected to be pushed away. There was an awkward silence as Draco tucked the scrolls in the pocket of his hoodie. The raven haired boy looked closer at the slim Slytherin and was surprised to see that he was wearing an entirely muggle outfit, dark blue jeans, ripped at the knees; a white tshirt, promoting a muggle band that Harry half recognized, and a plain black hoodie. They caught each others eyes and simultaneously blurted out, "We need to talk about this." Harry groaned and Malfoy chuckled, "We'll have to be careful. If we keep that up we'll turn into the Weasley twins." Harry laughed and started to talk.
"I expect you'd like an explanation so I am just going to tell you what I know from beginning to end. About two weeks ago my Aunt let me out of my room and took me downstairs where she proceeded to massacre-I mean- cut my hair. When I looked at the hair she had cut off I was more than a little bit confused. It was-" Harry paused as he opened a small envelope and pulled out the lock of mousy brown hair, "this colour. On a whim I pocketed it and when I had cleaned up I was sent back to my room. On my way there I went past a mirror and I was… well, surprised is probably an understatement. My hair wasn't even slightly black, it was mousy brown and the roots were blonde. My eyes were changing colour rapidly, going from emerald green to stormy grey. Later that night I was lying in bed when a letter literally appeared out of nowhere, effectively scaring the crap out of me. I saw what the envelope said, my son Harry and was very shocked. You know what the letter said. This morning I cast a glamour charm which is why none of our classmates have seen it and when you came in I was trying to work out how the hell my relatives hadn't seen the changes."
Draco swiftly interrupted, "I have theory on that. I think it might be the affects of a blood adoption. That would explain why, if you are returning to you true appearance, your hair still has the 'I'm a Potter and I've just been thoroughly shagged look.' If I am right and it is a blood adoption then your relatives will not see they changes until directly told or the charm wears off completely. It was designed to give the adults a chance to recast the spells or explain. There is also another issue. Unless the Dark Lord was feeling passionate then Dumbledore must have done the spell. Those two wizards are the only ones strong enough to illegally cast the charm and it was definitely an illegal blood adoption. If it had been legal and Ministry performed then you would have been returned to us after your parents deaths."
"They weren't my parents!"
"No you're right. They weren't. You, my friend, are a Malfoy."
Harry grinned and finished up his story. Once the tale was complete he smiled grimly at his brother.
"So, Dumbledore is still being a manipulative bastard, Voldemort is still trying to kill me and the rest of the world still thinks I'm deluded. I wish I could get out of this war."
"I'm afraid that that is just not possible. You are like the king of the light side."
"Then how do I bloody abdicate?"
Draco laughed and the conversation moved on to lighter topics such as favourite things, quidditch and homework. They were so involved in their conversation that they didn't even think about the time until Draco tried, and failed, to stifle a huge yawn. Harry cast the tempus charm and swore colourfully.
"We're 15 minutes late for breakfast and Dumblebore had an announcement to make."
"SHIT!" Draco scrambled up, hauling Harry up with him. They sprinted forward but paused and regained their breath, Harry entering the great hall first and Draco a few minutes behind, staggering their entrance so they'd not be associated with each other. Harry started to pile food on his plate when all the sixth year Gryffindors leaned forward. Seamus had a predatory look on his face.
"So Harry. Your bed wasn't slept in and you've come to breakfast flushed, grinning and in yesterdays rumpled clothes. Is there something you need to tell us?"
-Tell him the truth. You were unavoidably detained in the company of a gorgeous blonde.-
Harry almost jumped when Draco's familiar, drawling voice invaded his head.
Knowing that waiting any longer would just make his friends suspicious he flippantly replied with the comment Draco had suggested. He had a wicked thought and added, in a slightly louder voice, "And I'd appreciate it if that same blonde would meet me in the same place, same time." All around him jaws dropped.
-Why did you do that, surely you have learnt about twin talk. That's what this is. You could have just thought it.-
-Yeah I know about twin talk. But now they think I'm dating a blonde Gryffindor so the suspense will kill them!-
-Haha! Genius!-
-How exactly does twin talk work?-
-It sends comments through the twin bond.-
-I never would have guessed. Forget I asked, Dumblefuck is announcing his surprise.-
-DumbleWHAT!-
-Dumblefuck now ssssh I can't multitask.-
-Learn.-
-SHUT UP!-
-Sorry, sorry. Chill out Kade.- Harry ignored him.
"We are having a special themed unity disco. The theme is twins so with the exception of true twins every student must find a partner of the same sex to go with. You must dress in a twinny way and once at the ball you must stay together."
-Are you thinking what I'm thinking?-
-Hell yeah! Of course we're thinking the same thing. We are twins after all."
-Okay, lets not meet by the Lake. What about the room of requirement at ten o'clock.-
-Alright, but you will have to explain. Where and what is the room of whatever?-
-It's the room the inquisitorial squad broke into last year.-
-I heard what happened last year. I'm sorry that your godfather died.-
-He isn't dead.-
-Huh?-
-My godfather. He didn't die.-
-What!-
