Foreword:
All right, I apologize, I know it's kind of lame since Lily already killed old Voldy Moldy, and I skipped like, a huge time distance or whatever. Well, I skipped again, awesome isn't it? And for those of you who do not know, Harry is three years older than the twins, okay? And a reminder: Lykaios is the wolf boy, the one with fangs and acts like a dog. Serenity is the girl with wild power, the power of the elements. So, back to the time skip art, I skipped ahead, Harry is in his third year, Serenity and Lykaios are going into their first year. Okay, ready, set, action!
A group of four pushed their way through the crowded King's Cross station. Two were men, one with long black hair, and stormy gray eyes, he was wide-shouldered and heavily muscled. The other man was slightly more feminine, an inch or two shorter than the other, with waist-length auburn hair and golden eyes. The two men were pushing heavily laden trolleys, and each bore a squawking owl, the men were flanked by a little boy and girl, who were holding each other's hands. The girl looked absolutely terrified, as she stared with wide, white eyes around her, her silvery hair fell around her, blowing in an invisible wind, her clothes pinned against her frame by the same non-existent wind. The boy was trembling, though he was holding himself straight and tall, obviously trying to look brave for the girl beside him, though his eyes were as wide as hers, though more of a golden bronze, his dark brown hair was spiked, sticking up in weird directions.
"Lykaios, come here." The gray-eyed man called, the boy let go of his sister's hand and obeyed, going up and grasping his father's hand instead, Sirius smiled at his nervous son, and turned towards the barrier. "Ready?" Sirius asked calmly, Lykaios gulped, and began trembling again, and nodded, Sirius grinned, "One, two, three!" And together they ran towards the wall, Lykaios clenched shut his eyes, preparing for the impact, but oddly none came. He jumped when he heard people's voices again, and a train whistle, he opened his eyes and started, the clean, busy platform had disappeared, replaced by a large, steam-filled platform, where a scarlet steam engine sat.
"Oh!" The breathless voice came from behind him; he turned and grinned at his sister,
"Hey Serenity, look at the train! It's red!"
"Not red, scarlet dummy." Serenity said, frowning slightly at her brother, the boy shrugged,
"Who cares?"
"I do, I don't want everyone thinking I have an idiot for a Brother."
"Oh, so, I shouldn't tell everyone that you still sleep with your stuffed wolf, named storm?"
"Hey! You promised you wouldn't tell!" She cried in outrage, he shrugged again, grinning at his angry Sister,
"I didn't. You did." Her eyes flew open, and then she let out an angry noise, and scowled, folding her arms over her chest, turning away with a 'harrumph'. Sirius and Remus chuckled, looking up when the whistle blew.
"All right kids, on you go." Sirius said, patting their bottoms, edging them towards the train, they immediately lost their joking demeanor, and began looking slightly ill. They climbed on, and went to find an open compartment. They finally found one, with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Blushing, Serenity walked in silently, and sat on the opposite seat. Ron grinned at her, showing off sparkling white teeth, his hand resting on Hermione's knee. Lykaios idled in, and plopped down next to his sister, she leaned against him, trying to calm herself and her nerves. Harry grinned at her, and stood, going over and kneeling in front of her,
"Don't worry sweetheart, it'll be all right, you're plenty brave enough to be in Gryffindor. And, remember the story I told you? The hat listens to your requests, if you ask it to put you or not put you somewhere."
"I hope I get Gryffindor!" Lykaios said excitedly. Bouncing in his seat slightly, Serenity sat up quickly, and tried to get away,
"Oh, please, don't bounce, oh, oh please stop!" She begged, her face growing paler.
"Oh dear." Hermione said, and waved her wand, a bucket appearing in front of Serenity just as she leaned over and vomited. Serenity groaned, swaying slightly, Lykaios gazed apologetically at his sister,
"Hey, I'm sorry." He hugged her and kissed her hair. She smiled at him, and leaned into his hold, head resting against his chest. Hermione took in the scene, her gaze penetrating, as her mind worked far ahead of the other's, seeing something in the twins' way they held and touched each other, the way Serenity leaned against Lykaios, the way he caressed her side with his hand. Hermione decided not to bring up her suspicions, they were too vague, and she needed more proof, so she stayed silent. She smiled kindly at Serenity,
"Good luck sweetie, oh, hey, why don't you two change now?" Serenity looked around her at the small compartment,
"Uh, where?" She asked, slightly nervously, Hermione chuckled,
"In here, we'll shut the door and pull the curtains. Serenity wasn't quite sure how she felt about changing in front of a bunch of boys, but then Hermione stood and grabbed her trunk, pulling out her robes and began to undress. The older boys moved to do the same, helping Lykaios and Serenity get their robes from their trunks. Serenity blushed and stared at her robes, unsure of whether or not she should change in front of boys. Her brother was already dressed, and watching her, an amused glint in his eyes. She frowned, and then pulled off her shirt, replacing it with the white long-sleeved shirt and gray vest. She then pulled off her jeans, and slipped into the gray skirt, pulling on the gray stockings and shiny black shoes. She pulled on her outer robes, and got help from Harry with her tie. Her brother smiled encouragingly and grabbing her hand, pulled her onto his lap. She smiled at him and snuggled her head into his shoulder. Harry stood and stretched,
"Well, I'm off." He said happily, sliding open the door,
"Where are you going?" Lykaios asked, Harry smiled,
"To meet someone." He said simply. Hermione sighed,
"Probably his mystery girlfriend. Won't tell a soul who she is, he's so cynical sometimes." Hermione sighed and watched her friend leave. She smiled at Serenity and Lykaios, and began some general conversations, the rest of the train ride passed quickly, with everyone laughing and cracking jokes, and all too soon the train came to a screeching, squealing halt. Serenity slowly stood, reluctantly leaving the safe harbor of her brother's arms. He stood as well, though the two first years had to have assistance getting their heavy trunks out of the overhead holder. Serenity took her brother's hand, and together, the twins, and Hermione and Ron, walked out onto the platform. The night sky was clear, and stars twinkled and shone, their faces like grinning wildcats. Serenity was staring up at the sky, her pale eyes wide, silver hair still blowing in a wind only she felt. She wasn't even aware of her surroundings, because something in the sky called to her, something she couldn't quite place, she was confused, it wasn't like she had never seen stars and the moon before, she actually had quite often sat outside on the lawn and stared at them for hours and hours with her parents, but something had changed, like reading tea leaves, if you tilt the cup to the left, it gives you a whole different sight than if you tilt it to the right. It was like she was trying to read a hidden code in the stars, connect these four and you will find an A, connect this and that and you will spell a word. Suddenly she felt herself falling backwards, or maybe she was being pulled backwards, or perhaps both, she wasn't sure. She gasped, and felt her back hit someone's chest, and was glad to find it was her Brother, then she looked up, and saw a bear standing on it's hind legs, she gasped again, but realized it wasn't a bear, it was a man, a very BIG man either way.
"Firs' years follow me! I am Reubeus Hagrid, Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts; we'll be takin' the boats up to the castle, if you'll follow me." They all followed him, to a large lake, where a small fleet of boats waited.
"Four to a boat, in yeh go!" The man called, swinging his lantern, they all moved to obey. Serenity and Lykaios sat together, and waited for their boat to be filled. A young boy and girl climbed in, the girl grinning and bouncing, her brown curls flopping with each move she made. The boy hunched his shoulders, looking very much like he wanted nothing more than to jump into the lake and get away. He had short golden hair and bright blue eyes, and was hunching as far down in his seat as he could go. Serenity smiled kindly at him, and then turned to look at the girl, who had blue eyes also, the exact same color as the boy's.
"Sorcha, stop bouncing, you're going to tip us!" He hissed, his voice was soft, and had a deep undertone to it, without any hint of boyish innocence or ignorance. She grinned at him
"Okay. Hey, hey, Alix, do you think I'll get Gryffindor? Oh, I hope so!"
"Are you two related?" Lykaios asked, the girl turned to him and grinned,
"Yup! Are you two?"
"Yeah. My name is Lykaios, and this is Serenity, Lykaios and Serenity Black."
"Oh! Hey, we know you! Your Remus' and Sirius' kids! Hey! We stayed with you guys for a while. Well, you're parents at least, ours left us alone. Can't say they liked a wizard and witch being in the family, so they tossed us out, Remus found us, and helped us out. We're living with Regulus Black now, well, we just moved in like, last summer, not too long ago." Alix was staring at his sister, mouth hanging open,
"You don't go around telling people our life story!" He hissed, anger making him tense.
"Oh yeah, Remus is a werewolf, isn't he?" Sorcha asked, ignoring her brother's anger, Serenity and Lykaios stared, and then Serenity shrugged,
"Maybe, maybe not, I'm not quite sure myself." She lied easily, the Sorcha shrugged,
"Oh, well, Alix is a werewolf."
"Sorcha!" He gasped, staring at her, "Why would you tell people? I asked you not to! What if the wrong people found out?! They'd chop my head off!" Serenity was shocked to see tears in his eyes. She spun and hugged him, moving her upper body side to side. Jumping to her feet, she began to apologize loudly, so loudly in fact that every single boat's occupants turned to stare at her, the boys shrank down, while Serenity giggled and laughed, clapping her hands, Sorcha took a step back, and screamed as she toppled into the water. Everyone in the boat rushed to the edge, not realizing that if you put all the weight on one side of a boat, then the boat tends to tip. So, in mere moments of Sorcha's fall, the other three found themselves tipping face-first into the brackish water. As Serenity was submersed in that water, she felt that weird power again, that weird presence, like something danced around her, it was almost tangible, like she could reach out and grab it. And then they were being pulled up by the backs of their robes and tossed dripping and coughing into their boat, four large tentacles waved at them before disappearing beneath the surface. Serenity looked at her Brother with wide eyes and buried her face against his chest. Suddenly the boats ground against the bank, and they were climbing out and up a steep bank, their wet shoes making them slip and slide, and the slipping and sliding worsened ten times once they stepped onto the marble floors of the great hall. They walked forward, and waited in line, the four who had gotten an unpleasant dip shivering in their wet clothes. Serenity looked over and saw Harry, Ron and Hermione gazing at her and Lykaios in concern. Serenity vaguely heard Sorcha's name get called, and then heard Gryffindor shouted out to the whole hall and the loud cheers as she went to sit with them. Then he brother went to the stool, and shivered as the hat slid past his ears, and, then the loud voice screaming out Gryffindor. She jumped when she heard her brother get called, and watched as he anxiously made his way to the stool and sat down, she held her breath, waiting for the hat to call out Gryffindor, and just when her lungs were about to pop, the hat called out Gryffindor, and her brother pranced to the long table. She trembled as she went to the stool, and listened as the hat debated what house to put her in, and finally, to everyone's shock, the hat called out Slytherin. Her face paled, and she pulled off the hat, and looked at her brother's face, he looked terrified, Harry and Hermione and Ron stared at her. She bit her lip to force back the tears, as a small voice in her mind called,
Congratulations, it's your first year at Hogwarts, and guess what, you're a Slytherin!
Author's note:
Yes, uh, just so you know, I may not have Sirius and Remus in here for a while. But be warned, there is indeed twincest, (Serenity/Lykaios) yaoi, (Harry/Draco; Remus/Sirius) and other pairings (Hermione/Ron) so, do enjoy. And, oh my gosh, who would have guessed that Serenity would be in Slytherin? Poor girl. But the distance does not make her and Lykaios not love each other! Yes, I said love, and as I said before, TWINCEST and yes, I am allowed, because they are mine, I made them. ^^ I'm so evil, aren't I? Go against all morals, isn't it just superb?
