Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, though I would like to.

Harry stared st the red headed twins in shock. How did they know? Did they really know or was this some sort of trick?

"W... what do you mean? My names Harry Potter, just Harry Potter" Harry tried to lie but even to his own ears it didn't sound convincing.

"There's no sense in lying"

"We know the truth, but"

"What we'd like to know is"

"How?" They said switching back and forth to one another. Managing to confuse Harry even more than he already was.

Harry did some quick thinking. They obviously knew who he was, no matter how impossible it sounded. Harry stared at them for a few moments before deciding what to do.

"If I tell you the truth you have to promise not to tell anyone and you have to tell me how you found out." Harry said.

The twins shared a look and seemed to be conversing silently. "We swear not to tell your secret but we can't tell you how we found out?" The twin on the right said.

Harry scowled but nodded anyway. "After the Potters, my birth parents, were killed Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore adopted me. They raised me along side their children. When I was young they preformed a blood adoption and I became both a McGonagall and a Dumbledore." Harry said.

The twins mouths dropped open in shock. They had been expecting something of the like but to hear that their professors had other children was disturbing.

"But they're so.. so"

"Old"

Harry laughed out loud at that. It seemed that his parents really did have the whole world tricked. "My parents aren't that old. My dads just eighty and my moms not even seventy. That's middle age for wizards. Plus they're more powerful than average so they'll live longer than most. They just make themselves appear old to throw off suspicion. Believe they look completely different out of school. I barely even recognized my dad with that insane beard."

The red head raised identical eyebrows. Clearly not believing him. "Bloody hell, here look at this." Harry said fishing out his locket that held a picture of his entire family.

He handed the locket to the twins and watched as their eyes grey as wide as saucers seeing his parents without their disguises.

"Sweet Merlin"

"McGonagalls hot." The twins said with a wolf whistle.

"Eww! Stop that she's my mum." Harry said angrily snatching his locket back and putting it back around his neck. The twins were descent enough to look mildly ashamed, but not by much.

"So are those you siblings." The red head on the right said.

"Yes." Harry said shortly. The twins raised their eyebrows at him telling him to elaborate. "Fine." he huffed but in a manly way. "There's Evan and Elizabeth. Their twins and are the oldest. Elizabeth is training to be a healer and Evan is in a long term auror training program and he's a starting chaser on the London Lions." The twins looked impressed. "Then there's Nate he's four teen and is studying to take his NEWT's abroad. He's the residential genius." Harry said. "Then there's me."

"I never would have guessed." The twin on the right said.

"Me neither." his brother said.

"Well I have to go I was supposed to meet my dad in his office ten minutes ago." Harry said harsher then he ment to. He was angry that he'd been found out after only a week in school.

"If you ever"

"Need help with a"

"Alibi"

"We're hear for you"

"Oh and I'm Fred Weasley"

"And I'm George Weasley."

"Thanks." Harry said quietly then he quickly left and made his way to his fathers office. Luckily he met no one else on the way.

When he was outside the gargoyle he put its hand on its head and let it read his magical signature. This way he could always get into the office even if he didn't have the password.

He walked up the stairs angrily and went into his dads office. To his surprise it was empty except for Fawkes and the portraits of past headmasters.

"Your parents are in their quarters." Armando Dippet said to Harry when he saw the boy looking around for them.

"Thanks Dippy" Harry said with a small smile. Armando was his favorite portrait in his dads office, he would always tell the children stories about his parents childhood. He knew some really embarrassing stories about his father.

He walked over to a bookshelf and pulled on a old battered copy of Hogwarts a History and the bookshelf swung open revealing the drawing room in the tower. Harry didn't know how the castle did it but when ever someone went through that door they were instantly transported to the tower or vice versa. His father had tried to explain it once but not even Nate had understood the complex concept.

His mother was sitting in a chair and his dad was on the floor a game of chess was between them. From what Harry could tell his mum was crushing his dad once again. He did have to hand it to his father though he never gave up hope. Some times it was almost sad.

"Harry!" his mum said loudly as she stood up and crossed the room to give him a hug.

"G' afternoon mum" he said through his mothers thick robes. It was another few minutes before his dad came over to unclamp him from his mothers arms.

"You look upset." Minerva said after greetings were exchanged and they all sat down.

Harry frowned. "Fred and George Weasley know." He burst out frustration seeping into his voice. His parents eyes got large and serious.

"How?" his father asked all joking out of his voice.

"I don't know. I was taking a passage way here and bumped into them. They said something like hello Harry Potter or should we say McGonagall or Dumbledore. Only I have no idea how they would have found out. I haven't spoken about it to anyone and my journals more warded than most peoples homes." He told his parents in a rush hoping they would know more about it then them.

"Did you tell them anything else?" his father asked.

Harry squirmed guiltily. "I told them that you and mum raised me and that I had brothers and a sister. " he said quietly. "But I also made them swear not to tell anyone."

Albus sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He looked at Harry and Harry had to look away before he broke down and cried at the disappointing gaze. He didn't like it when his parents were angry or when they yelled. But it was nothing to the feeling of when his parents were disappointed in him.

"Lets be thankful it was the Weasley twins and not someone more open mouthed. They may play prank but they do have their honor." Minerva said breaking the odd tension in the room.

"I still think I'll call them into my office later to discuss the importance of keeping secrets later tonight." Albus said in a serious tone.

There was silence for a few minutes before Harry broke the silence. "I..I don't feel well. I'm going back to my dorm." he said his head bowed then he practically ran out of the room.

"But what" Minerva said but he was already out the door. "about lunch."

"Maybe you should go talk to him." Minerva said after a few minutes of staring at the door.

"What? Why?" Albus aid lost in thought.

"Albus!" Minerva said scandalized. "Your son just ran out of the room without so much as saying goodbye. Don't you think it a little odd?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

Albus stared at the door for a few minutes before standing up. "I think your right. Harry's got a lot to worry about." he said mostly to himself before he gave his wife a kiss on the cheek, charmed himself invisible and left to find his son.

---------

The Weasley's twins had been walking towards Gryffindor Tower, still thinking about the shocking revelations, when they saw none other than Harry Potter himself run past them and down the hall. They noticed he looked upset and had seen several tears on his face.

"Do you think that's our fault?" Fred asked his twin.

George winced. "I can't imagine McG or Dumbledore would have been happy about us finding out, but they couldn't have done anything to him. Could they?" George asked quietly suddenly feeling a whole lot less gleeful and a whole lot more guilty for practically forcing Harry to tall them.

"I think we should check just in case." Fred said. They followed the direction they saw Harry run. It only really lead to one place and that was the astronomy tower.

It took them almost ten minutes to climb to the top of the tower. They knew they had found him when they heard small sniffles and gasps for breath from outside the door.

George went in first and Fred came in closely behind. Harry was so obsoarbed in his sorrow that he didn't notice them until Fred called out his name.

"Harry" Fred called quietly. Knowing from experience not to ne too loud. He did after all have two younger siblings and he and George could be serious... sometimes.

Harry startled. He hadn't heard anyone come up. He'd only wanted to be alone for a little. He didn't even know why he started to cry. Everything had just piled up and it all came crashing down when he thought about how so the entire world would know about his parents. His mum and dad would get fired and he and his brothers and sister would be in even more danger. He could possibly even be taken away from his parents.

He took his head out of his lap and rubbed his eyes fiercely. "What are you doing here?" he asked angrily. Though his eyes were red and puffy the green lit up with a fire that said Harry was truly angry.

"We wanted to make sure you were ok." the other twin said quietly.

"And its obvious your not." his brother added.

Harry glared at him and though Fred and George were two years older they found themselves to be slightly intimidated. "Of course I'm not ok. I've been at Hogwarts a week and already I've messed up somehow and you know who I am. Now the whole world will know." he ranted.

"Do you know what will happen to my parents?" he asked. Then not waiting for a answer he moved on. "They'll both be fired form the jobs they love and have been doing since before my father defeated Grindelwald. My father will be discredited and thrown off the wizenmgot. The ministry will want to know who my brothers and sister are putting them and myself in danger. Not to mention they could take me away from my family." He practically screamed the last part as he stood there panting. He had no idea when he had stood up but he did know that something he said must have struck the twins because they looked stricken.

"No one will ever take you away from your mother and I." a voice said from the doorway.

Three heads turned and started at the man standing there. Albus Dumbledore was standing there wearing stylish blue and silver robes a far cry normal brightly colored ones. He had no beard, his hair was shorter and pulled into a tie at the nape of his neck and he looked younger. He looked like the man Harry associated with his father. The twins were completely shocked. Albus didn't care. His son needed him and it would be a cold day in hell when he wasn't there for one of his children. Consequences be damned.

Albus didn't acknowledge them instead he strode forward in four powerful steps and scooped his son into his arms. Holding him close and trying to take all of Harry's pain away.

Harry wrapped his arms around his father neck and held on tightly even though he didn't cry and longer. He just pulled all the comfort he could from his father. Albus held him for a few more moments, comforting him in a way words couldn't before setting him down on the ground again and kneeling in front of him with his large hands on Harry's thin shoulders.

"No force on this earth is strong enough to separate our family. Not even death. No one will ever take you from our home." Albus said passionately his blue eyes glowing with love and fierce determination. "And as for if your mothers and my marriage come to light. Do not worry yourself I have handled far worse ridicule in the past."

"But you could loose everything." Harry said quietly.

"And if it ment my family would be kept together it would be more than worth it." Albus said sincerely.

"Your not angry with me?" Harry asked timidly.

"No Harry, I' not. Right now I want you to come back downstairs with me and Messers Weasley so we can talk about this somewhere more private." Albus said with a gentle smile. The twins looked at each other nervously but from what they had seen their headmaster was a good man and wouldn't be too harsh with them. He treated Harry like their father treated little Ginny. Which they both realized was probably because he was the youngest.

"Ok dad." Harry said with a smile. His dads words were still fresh in his ears and he felt lighter than he had all week.

Albus smiled and kissed his sons forehead before standing up and looking at the Fred and George. "Would you please come to my quarters so we can discus this situation?"

"Yes sir." they said in quiet unison.

"Harry show them the way I'll follow." Albus instructed.

Harry nodded and didn't even blink as his father disappeared in front of his eyes. Instead he turned and walked out the door and headed to his dads office. He was careful to never look at the Weasley twins. He didn't want to see their reaction to finding him crying in the astronomy tower.

The walk was a silent one. Not once did anyone try and make conversation nor did they meet anyone on the way, most everyone was at lunch. When they reached the headmasters office the gargoyle didn't even wait for Harry to put his hand down. It jumped aside as soon as the castle sensed his father coming.

Harry walked up the stairs and into his dads office. The twins only did quick glance around the room showing that they had been here on at least once. Most likely for the pranks they were notorious for having pulled.

His dad entered soon after and became visible as soon as the door was closed.

"I think for this we shall go some where more comfortable." Albus said looking at the three boys standing in his office.

The twins nodded and followed as their headmaster walked through a secret door behind a bookshelf. Harry followed behind the twins and tried not to draw any attention to himself. He just wanted this meeting to be over as soon as possible.

He looked up as he entered the room and had to smile a little at the expression on his mothers face. It looked like she had been lounging on the couch reading a novel when she saw the twins. Now the book was on the floor and her mouth was dropped open in shock.

The twins also found the situation humorous because Harry heard sniggers coming from their mouths behind their hands.

Her green eyes snapped to Albus quicker than anyone expected and she glared at him full force. The boys all felt sorry for the older man in the room, they all knew it was bad when yhe Deputy Headmistress glared like that.

"Albus?" she asked through clenched teeth.

They saw Albus swallow heavily and if he was smart give a quick prayer for safety before answering his irate wife.

"Messers Weasley had already found out our secret. I ran into them when looking for Harry and believed it would be best if we all sat down and talked about this." he said and Harry was impressed. The only sign of his dads increasing nervousness was a thin sween of sweat on his forehead.

Minerva gave him a look that said this wasn't over before turning to the boys. She saw the three meek looking faces looking back at her and raised a eyebrow. "No one here is in any trouble." she said. The twins visibly sagged in relief.

"Except dad." Harry said before he could think about it. It was almost a reflex. The twins laughed out loud. Albus looked at his son angrily but you could tell it was false from the twinkle in his eyes. Minerva looked up to the heavens and mutter something about cheeky sons.

"Come over here boys and sit. There's no use in being uncomfortable." Albus said as he sat next to his wife in the love seat. Harry immediately went to his favorite chair, the one closest to the fire place, and sat down. The twins followed at a more sedate pace and sat next to each other on the sofa.

"Now" Albus said looking mainly at the twins. "You are the first people to discover our secret since James Potter, Harry's father, and his friends went to school here. The knowledge is, as you can tell, very closely guarded. Only a handful of people know the truth and it would be safer for my family if it remained that way. I'm asking you, not as your headmaster, but a man and father to keep our secret."

The twins glanced at each other before Fred spoke. "We hadn't planned on telling anyone about this, sir. It's not our business and we should have never gotten involved in the first place." he said the last part in a remorseful way.

"Thank you. I will certainly sleep better now." Albus said with a smile.

"I'd like to know how you got 'involved' in the first place." Minerva stated with narrowed eyes. She hadn't forgotten her sons exit from the room or his slightly red eyes.

"Well er, you see" George faltered. "It's a secret."

This time Minerva, Harry and Albus stared at them expectantly.

George sighed and scowled slightly. "We have a map of Hogwarts that shows where anyone is given any time."

Everyone's eyes but the twins bulged out. "That's and impressive piece of magic." Albus commented. Harry nodded while thinking of the pranks he could pull with something like that. it was no wonder the twins had a reputation for mischief.

"Did you make it?" Minerva asked curiously. Wondering if the third years could create something so amazing.

"No. We, aquired, it during our first year and have been using it since." Fred said.

"Do you know who did make?" Albus asked. He was now wondering who could have done it.

"Not by name." George said.

"But we do know it was made by a group called the Mauraders." Fred finished.

Harry's eyes shot up as he heard the name of the group. His parents had of course told him every story the knew about his father's group of pranksters.

Albus started laughing out loud and Minerva looked as if a question that had been bothering her for sometime was answered.

"Of course it was them." Albus said with a chuckle.

"Now why we didn't see that coming?" Minerva asked her husband sarcastically.

"Do you know who the Mauraders were?" Fred asked. He and his brother and long ago resolved to worship who ever they were.

"My dad was Prongs, Remus Lupin was Moony, Peter Pettigrew was wormtail, and Sirius Black was Padfoot." Harry answered saying the last name in distaste.

The twins looked at him in ill disguised awe before slightly evil grins spread over their faces. "Oh son of mighty Prongs, I have a feeling we will be great friends." George said.

"Best friends."

"Brothers even." Harry understood perfectly well. They were pranksters. That's what they did and now they find him to be the son of their icon. They want to work with him in creating chaos. Something he had much experience in. Living in the same house with his dad, Evan, and Nate had to teach him something.

Harry looked at them with a small smirk of mischief before turning to his parents and smiling sweetly at them. "I think we've taken up enough of your time. Why don't we go back to the tower." The twins nodded hurriedly and the three of them turned to walk out the door. For a moment it looked as if they would get free, but Albus stern voice stopped all of them.

"Harry?"

Harry turned around slowly. To his surprise his dad was smiling slightly.

"So long as none of your grades drop I think this old castle could use a few harmless pranks." He said looking at the three of them with twinkling eyes.

Harry laughed and quickly pulled a dumbstruck Fred and George from the room, before his mum could tell him the opposite. As they closed the door they could hear his mother yelling at his father.

Harry glanced sideways at the stunned pair before offering his hand. "Partners?" he said with mischief written on every curve of his face.

The twins each bore identical grins as the shook his hand.

-----------

Later that night he collapsed into bed, after an exhausting day of planning pranks and regaling the twins with stories of the original Mauraders. So far they had excellent ideas. Harry's advanced knowledge was helping the trio out immensely.

'Evan will be so proud' Was the last thing he thought before he dropped into peaceful dreams of the choas soon to come.

Here's the 8th chappy hope you like it. Tell me what you think.

Also about Harrys break down. I know its out of character but this Harry isn't the same Harry from Canon. He's never really had to deal with any problems on his own. He's lived a very easy life filled with a supportive family. This doesn't mean he'll be a complete whimp. He'll buck up.
