Okay I'm back. Woohoo Party! Ahem Yea, I got some good ideas so lots updates soon I hope. I'm also going to be revising the previous chapters a bit, but it's mostly grammatical so yea. Please also note that I am going to be putting twincest in starting this chapter, it's a little different than shonen-ai so I figure it requires it's own warning. Okay enough babble, On to the Fic!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Heero woke up feeling a peace. It was still a strange feeling, but it was occurring more and more often as Heero adapted to living without the constant threat of war. It had been difficult at first, seeing as war was what he had been trained for, but he was changing.

He got out of bed, stretched, dressed, and entered the main room. He found Quatre and Trowa watching the sunrise from the window. Wufei was probably down at the lake doing his katas as he did every morning. Duo stumbled into the room braiding his hair. He muttered a greeting to his friends, who knew he was not a morning person and it would required a cup of coffee or two to fully wake him up, and they left for breakfast.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

After breakfast Quatre and Trowa went off to the greenhouses. They spent their days either there, helping Hagrid or playing in the lake. Of all of the pilots the pair seemed to be enjoying their break the most. Wufei once more returned to the library with Hermione. Those two had both been ecstatic to find someone else as obsessed with books as them, although neither would admit it.

Somedays Harry and Heero would go flying, with Ron joining them on occasion. On others they would walk or sit by the lake. Heero learned to enjoy the silent companionship he found is someone so similar to him.

Once Harry had to go to class, Heero would seek out Duo and they would tour the school. Duo seemed to follow no pattern in this. He would randomly enter classes, to either amused, terrorize or simply observe. Or he would want to explore the castle. Once he spent two hours debating the use of chocolate in medicine with a painting of an old librarian.

Today, apparently, he had decided to visit the divinations class. Heero liked the centaur's classroom. It was nice to wander off into the trees and then lay back and contemplate the stars. Having grown up and fought in space he hadn't quite go a good appreciation for how vast it seemed at night from Earth. Duo joined him today and he began to consider the changes that had been wrought in him. Duo had been the first person to ever try, and not give up, becoming friends with him. He had also been the first to make Heero want to smile, though he hadn't allowed it to appear on his face yet. And yet, despite all his friendliness, Duo didn't truly know how to be normal friends, and pretend to live a normal life. Harry on the other hand, had the advantage in that he could understand what Heero felt and that yet he had managed to live a better semblance of a normal life. Perhaps he could show Heero how to push away the war and be a normal teenager for once.

Heero decided that between Duo and Harry he had been unexpectedly blessed. He left the Divination room content.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That night they gathered in the common room. Heero alternated between cautiously opening a candy wrapper and watching people. As part of exploring his new freedom, Heero had taken to watching people and observing their interactions. he had gotten very good at deciphering their emotions and masks.

As for the candy, Ron, upon learning that Heero had never eaten candy before, had taken it upon himself to introduce him to every kind. Unfortunately this also included chocolate frogs and blood lollipops. Heero had learned to open everything carefully and try it even more carefully. Harry and one of his friends, Seamus, were involved in a very intensive chess match.

Over by the fire Hermione and Wufei were once again studying. Duo sat next to Ron on the couch and watched him with interest while he watched Wufei with a hint of anger.

Heero carefully observed as Duo leaned over and whispered in Ron's ear. His well trained ears and ability to read lips allowed him to decipher the conversation.

"You know, you should just go for it. I know for a fact that he's never going to make a move."

"What? What do you mean?"

Here Duo winked.

"Good luck," he whispered and then raised his voice, "You know, there's a Hogsmead visit next weekend."

Hermione turned to Wufei,

"That's right," she said, "You didn't get to see it properly last time. I should show you around."

Ron began to frown. It deepened when Wufei acquiesce. Finally he stood up and stalked over.

"Absolutely not," he thundered, "You are going with me Hermione."

You could hear a pin drop in the common room. Ron instantly became aware of this and turned bright red.

"I...I mean," he stammered, "Would you like to go to Hogsmead with me this weekend? Please?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow. Then she smiled.

"Of course," she replied, "As long as you promise not to punch out Wufei if we spend a little time touring."

Ron nodded,

"I promise," he said abashed, and then he fled to common room.

Wufei glared at Hermione as the noise level returned to normal.

"Do you honestly think that oaf could beat me in hand-to-hand combat?"

Hermione wisely remained silent and returned to her book.

Heero shook his head and returned to the strange candy in his hand as he tried to decide whether or not it was safe to eat. Duo eliminated his choice by reaching over and eating the piece of taffy. He promptly turned bright purple, causing Seamus to crack up.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The next morning Harry and Heero went flying. After several minutes of aimless circling, they decided to pull out the snitch. They landed and walked over to the broomshed. They came to it and found it open. Curious they peered inside and were treated to an astonishing sight.

Two people were fervently making out. That was not that unusual a sight except of one thing.

One person had their hands firmly enmeshed in the other's distinctive golden-blond hair. The other hand one hand braced against the wall while the other tangled around a long braid.

The pair was Duo Maxwell and Draco Malfoy.

The was a long silence. Then Duo opened his eyes for a moment and spotted their audience over Draco's shoulder. He squeaked and pushed the blond away. Annoyed, Draco turned to see the disturbance and froze for a second. Then he smirked, straightened his robe, nodded to each of them.

"Potter, Yuy," he said cordially and then swept off.

Harry stared at his retreating form while Heero glared at Duo, who grinned weakly.

"Who you believe he was just going to show me how to fly?" he asked.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Heero sat in the common room going over the events of the day.

After his excuse Duo had fled and Heero hadn't seen him again all day. Quatre had become worried when he hadn't shown up for meals, but Heero had briefly said that he was fine, and the blond had subsided. Although Heero was certain he wasn't going to let the subject drop completely, he was just waiting for Duo to return first.

Heero's mind was in a tumult. He had prevented himself from feeling true emotion for so long, but coming the Hogwarts had cracked that ice. Now that ice had been completely shattered. He knew the mechanics and physical sides of sex and understood some of the surge he had felt upon seeing the making out pair, but he had yet to determine how deep it went.

He wished he could talk to someone, but that would require telling about Duo and Draco, and if the braided boy had wanted other to know he would have told them.

The only other person who knew was Harry, but the other boy had seemed similarly stunned. He seemed to be fighting with his own emotions too. Heero decided he might bring it up in a couple of days.

That only left the inevitable confrontation with Duo. What did one say in this kind of situation?

Heero's thoughts were interrupted by a bird sweeping in through the open window next to him. The white owl landed next to Ron and proffered him a letter. The redhead took it with a puzzled looked and opened it. His skimmed the brief missive quickly and then abruptly looked at his friends.

"Fred and George have decided to visit," he said in an odd mix of fear and joy.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!(Quatre's POV)

I woke the next morning feeling wonderfully comfortable. Dark room. Warm bed. Warm Trowa. I smiled and snuggled closer to my koi. After a few minutes I felt him shift and wake up. I lifted my head and gazed into his sleepy eyes. I love his eyes, I could lose myself forever in them. I leaned up and planted a kiss on his lips. He smiled.

"Morning little one," he said in his soft voice.

"Morning," I replied. We cuddled for a few more minutes before getting up and preparing for the morning.

We stepped out into the main room at the same time as Duo. Heero was already there. Duo avoided his gaze and quickly left. We followed and I wondered at his strange behavior. I decided to corner him at first chance and find out what had happened.

We met our friends in the hall and I noticed that Duo also avoided looking at Harry. I wondered if what had happened had occurred before classes, but what kind of thing would happen then?

We were about to enter the Great Hall when we heard a shout.

"Oy, Ronniekins."

Ron winced and we all turned around to see a pair of twins who looked very similar to Ron approaching us.

"Fred! George! It's wonderful to see you. How have you been?" Hermione exclaimed.

"Quite wonderful," the one on the left replied.

"Business is booming," the one on the right said.

"The birds are singing," the first continued.

"And here we are again in the place where it all began," they chorused in stereo. I blinked. Duo looked to be in some sort of shock. Then one looked us over.

"New friends Ronniekins?" he asked.

"Must be. I'm sure we would remember you," the other said.

"Ah, uh, yes. These are exchange students. Duo, Heero, Wufei, Quatre, and Trowa. Guys, these are my brothers,"

"Fred and George," Duo exclaimed, breaking out of his stupor. He shook their hands in his usual enthusiastic way. "I have always wanted to meet you guys," he exclaimed, "I admire your work so much."

"Do tell," Fred, I think, said amused. Wrong answer. Duo took this invitation to begin babbling about things that we, as usual did not understand. Oddly enough, however, the twins managed to keep up and even insert their own chatter. The trio wandered into the Great Hall. The rest of us stood there stunned.

"I just dawned on me, given what I have learned of Maxwell," Ron suddenly said, "that introducing them was a bad idea."

"Why? What are your brothers like?" I asked concerned. Ron grimaced.

"They are the self-proclaimed Kings of Pranking. They even own their own joke shop."

"Heaven help us," Wufei murmured, "Three Maxwells."

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Breakfast passed quite pleasantly actually. Fred and George entertained us with stories that made everyone laugh, (with the exception of Ron, who was in many of the stories, and Heero, who doesn't laugh.) Afterwards Trowa and I went outside. Today we were going to help Hagrid. I'm not to fond of animals beyond the small fluffy ones, but I love to watch Trowa work. He loves animals, even the strange magical ones.

Today I simply enjoyed the sun while Trowa helped Hargrid with something large and ugly. I once more turned my mind to the problem of my friends. I had felt embarrassment coming off of Duo so I figured it wasn't anything particularly detrimental to the group. He still hasn't told me, even though we are best friends. Maybe I should leave it alone. Trowa once told me in that adorable way of his that I often blew things out of proportion, and that I needed to stay out of other people's business. I decided to keep an eye on my friend's interactions and only intervene if something serious happened. I was still incredibly curious though.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!(Normal POV)

Heero sat next to Harry by the lake. Harry himself lay on his back staring at the sky. Finally Heero spoke.

"Have you ever liked someone?" he asked. Harry glanced at him.

"Once or twice."

"What is it like?"

"It's strange," Harry continued to watch the clouds, "You like being around that person, you crave their attention and respect. And seeing them can make your day brighter I guess."

Heero thought for a moment.

"Have you ever been in love?"

Harry rolled over to look at his friend.

"Now that's a difficult question. I once asked Hermione about it. She said that it's different for every person, and that you have to figure out what it means to you. Of course to do that you have to be with that person and the only relationship I've ever been in ended with one bad date. So I don't know if I've ever been in love."

"Hn."

There was a long silence during which Harry rolled back over to look at the sky.

"What would you do if you liked someone and wanted to find out if you loved them?"

"Well I suppose you'd start out by telling the person you like them and then asking them out on a date. See where it goes from there. Of course you have to be on speaking terms with that person and if they hate you the it doesn't matter now does it?"

Heero decided that that last statement had been a random musing that Harry hadn't meant to say out loud and decided to stick to a noncommittal "Hn" as his response.

Confess. That couldn't be too hard could it?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

After dinner the group was heading back to their rooms when Heero stopped outside an empty classroom. The other stopped as well and looked at him confused.

"I would like to speak to Duo in private," Heero stated. Duo frowned but moved to the classroom. He looked back at Quatre who looked worried.

"It's alright. Hee-chan and I will be just a minute."

The other nodded and left as Duo and Heero entered the classroom. Duo turned to face his friend.

"Alright," he said, "I suppose you want to talk about yesterday."

Heero nodded. Duo crossed his arms over his chest.

"Do you have a problem with my lifestyle?" he asked belligerently, "Because I won't,"

Heero interrupted him.

"I don't have a problem with it," he said. Duo relaxed slightly.

"Then what do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"What I saw made me think about some things. And I decided,"

Here Heero paused.

"You decided what?" Duo prodded.

"I like you," Heero blurted out.

Duo raised an eyebrow.

"Do you really? Is that what it took to make you figure it out? In that case I should have made out with Wufei years ago."

Heero gaped at him.

"You like me?" he asked, surprised.

"Wow Heero," Duo said sarcastically, "What clued you in? Was it the fact that I threw myself at you at every chance? Was it that I went out of my way to impress you? Was my shameless flirting? Was it that I tried to make you laugh every single day and never stopped smiling for you because I loved you so much and I somehow though it would make you happy even though you pushed me away every single damn time I tried to cheer you up? Huh? What was it? And don't tell me it was because you got off on being a voyeur."

Duo's eyes had become suspiciously moist. Heero was speechless. He now felt like the most clueless person ever. He tried to say something, but Duo cut him off.

"Well you know what? I moved on. I found someone nice, who isn't made out of ice. You're too late Heero."

"I won't give up," Heero said. Duo glared at him.

"Fine, but if you want me, you have to win my heart back, because I refuse to throw myself at you anymore."

With that he tossed his head and left. Heero frowned.

"Ninmu ryoukai," he muttered to himself.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Inside their private rooms George flopped down on a chair rubbing his chest. He took a deep breath and sighed. His brother glanced up from his book.

"Don't you just love the feeling of teenaged angst in the air?" George asked.

"Only if it's got interesting stories behind it and if I can do something about it."

"In that case brother dearest," George grinned wickedly, "I do believe we are sitting in the biggest pot of fun ever."

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

A/N:I know Duo was kinda girly, but hey it was fun to write.

Ninmu ryoukai-Mission Accepted

Koi-Love

I know I'm not talking about everyone, but I hope to start focusing on others. It's really hard with ten odd people, but we'll get to everyone don't worry.
