A/N: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! :D
Okay I haven't finished my other project but I missed this fic so here is….
Chapter 9
In the dark alleyway behind Zonkos shop two boys were sat on the damp stone floor. They were sat facing each other, so close that their knees were almost touching. One had a neat quiff of platinum blonde hair whereas the other had a mop of scruffy black hair. The shorter one, the one with raven hair, murmured a few words and his whole body seemed to shimmer before he faded into a completely different person. His hair was just as scruffy as before but now his eyes and hair matched the other boys. Neither could quite believe what they'd just done.
"Are you okay Kade?" Draco turned his silver eyes onto his younger brother.
"Yeah. I'm… Brilliant!" A grin spread across his face, "New life. New name. No fame! Just me. Kaden Malfoy."
"New face as well. Much better than the last one." Draco grinned at Harry.
"I don't know whether to be offended or flattered." Draco stuck his tongue out and let out a surprised yelp as his brother tackled him sending him flying into the ground. The duo rolled about for a little while laughing and mucking about. Eventually they both stood up and brushed the dust from their robes. Harry tapped the crest on his robe with his wand and the crest vanished. Draco led the way down a lesser known part of Hogsmeade and into a branch of Ollivanders shop. When the duo stepped through the door a bell rang and there was a pop that signalled the arrival of Ollivander himself.
"Good afternoon Mr. Malfoy. Who might this be?"
"This is Kaden, he's my twin. We only just found each other. Kade was kidnapped and I managed to find him again. We hope to get him enrolled at school and so he needs a wand."
Harry surreptitiously passed Draco his familiar holly wand and held his right arm out for Ollivander to measure. He did so and started to pass several different wands. After turning Draco's hair multiple colours and completely annihilating a stack of, thankfully empty, wand boxes he finally ended up with a wand that sent a flood of warmth down his arm. It was made of blackthorn and was approximately 9 ½ inches long. The core, much to his brother's amusement, was made of dragon heartstring.
Next they headed to the three broomsticks. This was the part of the day that Harry was most nervous about. They were meeting Professor Snape as Draco had told him the day before that he had found his lost twin and Snape had agreed to meet him and, if the relationship between the two was verified for him then he'd arrange an interview with Dumbledore and after that it'd be a simple matter to get him sorted and into normal school life.
They walked into the crowded pub and over to the corner booth where they could see Snape was already sat. Harry stepped to one side and let Draco slid in first. They sat in almost identical poses without even realising.
-Jeez. I'm so nervous. What if he recognizes me?-
-He won't. You don't even sound like Harry Potter any more. You'll be fine.-
Harry smiled at his brother and turned back to Snape.
"Good afternoon Professor Snape. It's nice to meet you." He held out a hand and Snape shook it.
"Good afternoon. You must be Kaden Malfoy." When Harry nodded he continued, "I have a vial of the familias potion with me. We can verify your relationship to Draco and then take you to see Headmaster Dumbledore."
-Gaah! Snape's being polite! The world must be ending!-
Draco lets out an extremely un-Malfoyish snort and Snape quirked an eyebrow at him.
Snape pulled a vial of pale blue potion out of one of his robe pockets. He tipped some salt out of the salt shaker onto the table and transfigured it into a small crystal bowl with flowers engraved around the edge.
-Ooh. Very nice! Don't you agree Dray? Although… looks like something a grandmother would own.-
"Shut up Kade!" Draco muttered and both Harry and Snape turned to look at him, he flushed when he realised that he had spoken aloud.
"I didn't say anyth-owww!" He broke off as Draco stamped on his foot.
Snape shook his head at the duo's antics. "Shall we continue?"
When both boys nodded he poured the potion into the bowl. Each boy used his wand to make a tiny slit on their thumbs and each added a drop of blood in turn.
As expected for identical brothers the potion turned a vibrant orange.
-Ugh that's a horrible colour. It reminds me of the Chudley Cannons.- Draco commented mentally.
"What's wrong with the Chudley Cannons?"
"What's right with the Chudley Cannons?"
-They're good.-
"Not"
-Are-
-Not-
"You're wrong."
-And you're stupid!-
"I am not stupid!"
"Okay. As strange as this conversation is I think we should go and meet the Headmaster now."
The teens agreed and they walked back towards the castle still silently bickering.
They walked towards the castle and Harry and Draco flashed a triumphant grin at each other when they passed the pile of fiendfire ashes that was the location of Harry Potters 'death.'
-You know it is extremely disconcerting to see the place where the person that you've been known as for your entire life has 'died.' Certainly looks realistic though.-
-Of course it looks realistic. It was real. If you hadn't have portkeyed out as soon as you shut the door, or I hadn't counted to sixty then you would have been burnt up.-
-How could you risk the life of your only brother!- Even mentally Harry's voice was filled with mock horror.
The banter between them stopped immediately when the stepped into the Entrance Hall and saw that Dumbledore was waiting for them.
"Good afternoon Draco, Kaden."
-Oh shiiit. He is not pleased.-
