A/N; Shawnie and Shawniecat
Shawnie; This chapter was a tough one to edit, and I'm sure I could've added another scene to Dumbledore's office part of the story.
Shawniecat; I wish you could've, since I had like your idea for it, but too bad, you couldn't add it without changing alot of the chapter, which I knew you would've perfer to keep it the way it is.
Shawnie; Speaking of changing, I'm sorry to say this, but I will be removing the first five Holiday chapters from the orriginal story, since the stats for the readers, from the your sight went down from there.
Shawniecat; I know, I went overboard for those chapters, and is willing to chang them for the addited version of this story.
Shawnie; Because of this, the holiday chapters might go down to acouple, instead of five chapters, and unfortunately this will take a while, so anyone reading this story, and would be interested in reading the original holiday chapters, go to the Ficward sight," Sorry this sight won't allow the entire adress" Shawniecat will keep it there, for the time being.
Shawniecat; Finally on to the story!
We don't own Harry Potter or its characters, and please review.
December arrived too slowly for the twins, and on the last week of school, Harry and Jamie were looking forward to the Holidays, since they were planning to spend the entire vacation with Hermione." So what are our plans for Christmas?" Jamie asked Hermione, as they sat on the couch in the common room." My parents are going to bring us to the mountains, so we can do some skiing." Hermione informed her friends." Skiing, we never done that in a while, I'm for it!" Jamie happily said." Fine with me, I just hope our skies still fit, or else we need to get new ones." Harry said, as Jamie gave it a thought." I don't think it will be a problem, since Uncle Tamara bought us magical adjustable ones." Jamie reminded Harry, as the portrait door opened, to reveal Mcgonagal." Mr. and Miss. Potter, the Headmaster would like a word with you both." Mcgonagal sternly informed, making the twins feel like they were caught on a prank." We are coming Professor!" Both twins said, as they quickly got up, and followed the professor.
On the way to Dumbledore's office, Jamie looked worriedly to Harry." Does this have to do with the Slytherin common room?" Harry worriedly asked, making Mcgonagal stopped, to face both twins." No, but that is ten points off Gryffindor, and thanks for getting yourselves into detention, once the holidays are over!" Mcgonagal sternly said, and continue leading the twins to the office." You had to open your big mouth." Jamie angrily sent to Harry." At least we now know we aren't in trouble yet." Harry jokingly sent back.
Once in Dumbledore's office, Harry and Jamie were surprised to see a large number of strangers sitting around Dumbledore's office." Ah, finally The Twins That Lived had arrived!" Said an all important like man, as soon as he notice the twins arrival." Minister Fudge, the twins hate that title, so please refrain from using it." Dumbledore reminded the speaker." Nonsense, Headmaster, how else everyone will recognize their great tribute to the wizarding society." Fudge proudly said, as stood from his chair, he gestured to some people from the side." Now Mrs. Skeeter, are you ready for an important event concerning The Twins That Lived." Fudge proudly said, as he came up to the twins, whom did not like this one bit." Ready when you are Minister." Skeeter informed, as she got some parchment and a quill, while another prepared a camera, immediately took the twins picture.
Once Fudge stood behind the twins, He smiled, as more pictures were taken." Now that done, the event I got everyone here for, is that I will see it personally that the twins are taken to a good home, since they both are not living at their relatives." Fudge happily said, as the twin's eyes went wide." Wait a minute; we got someone to look after us." Both twins said, now looking worried about this." Nonsense, Ex Auror Tamara is in no shape to take care of you both." Fudge started, since Tamara had fake documents made up, to make him the twin's guardians." I got someone more suited, Mr. Lucius Malfoy." Fudge happily gestured to a blonde hair man, whom looked sterner then Mcgonagal on her worst day." I will be glad to take over guardianship of the twins." Lucius tiredly said, while his voice showed no signs of emotion." We won't go; Uncle Tamara is more then suited then him." Both twins said, as they quickly move away from the older Malfoy, since they felt he was reeking of dark magic." Nonsense, since it's already official that you both are now his charges, so there is nothing you or Tamara can do about it." Fudge informed the twins, as he was taken aback at their refusal." Minister Fudge, why was I not aware of this." Dumbledore asked, since he too did not like this, one bit." Because you didn't do anything, when the twins was removed from their relative's home, nor learned of their terrible mistreatment, under their care!" Fudge unkindly said to Dumbledore." Luckily Mr. Malfoy had donated enough Galleons to help raise the twins, for all seven years of their schooling, and to take care of their needs." Fudge proudly informed everyone, and then went into more what Malfoy had planned for the twins.
As Fudge talked nonsense to everyone, Harry and Jamie were trying to figure a way out of this." We could teleport home, and hope things will die down soon?" Jamie telepathically suggested." No, we must hide our talents for now, and I doubt this will die that easily." Harry sent back." Then about we just run, and live the rest of our lives as Kaitlyn, so they can't find us." Jamie sent to Harry, as he rolled his eyes." Yah sure, live the rest of my life as a girl, good thinking Jamie!" Harry sent back, sounding not happy at the idea." Then you come up with a plan, since I think they are finishing up." Jamie worriedly sent, but Fudge was already done, before the twins could think of something.
Once Fudge was done with the twins wedding plans in the far future, he then turned to the twins." But for now, Mr. Malfoy has some wonderful plans for the two, and will be portkeying them to their new home in Malfoy's Manor, for an early start of their holidays!" Fudge happily said, making the twins stare at him." This is a bad idea, a VERY bad idea!" Jamie sent to Harry." WE ARE NOT GOING!" Harry yelled, making everyone look to him." Nonsense, you'll like living with the Malfoy's, just give them time." Fudge kindly informed Harry, as some of the other unknown wizards were making their way to the twins." No we won't, we will never step foot in Malfoy's home!" Jamie angrily said, as she and Harry started backing up, and away from the older wizards." I was afraid of this, Tamara must have made them afraid of living with other families, and if that is so, a vacation at the manor will help bring them to their senses." Malfoy suggested." Yes, that is a wonderful plan, and I will see about this Tamara character, and press charges against him, since what he did is unforgivable." Fudge informed everyone, as the twins looked to each other, and bolted out of the office, and down the staircase." I don't think running will help us, Harry?" Jamie worriedly sent to Harry." Then will fly!" Harry sent back, and in a next second, two phoenixes, a pure black one, and light blue one appeared, and flew out of the window, before Fudge or the others saw them.
As the wizards from the office, rushed into the empty hallway, Fudge was furious." Shackelbolt, gather all Aurors, and search the school, they couldn't have gone far!" Fudge yelled to the head Auror." And Dumbledore this is your entire fault, allowing them to live at Tamara's, I will have you fired, if we don't get them back soon!" Fudge spat, and left angrily with Malfoy, and the other that was with them.
For a while Dumbledore was not sure what to do, so he headed back to his office to think, but stopped, as he noticed two phoenixes on the chairs, and then in the next second, Harry and Jamie appeared." Professor, we are sorry, for causing all these problems." Harry quickly started, as he worriedly looked down." If you want us to leave, we can go back to Uncle Tamara's, since he can hide us better!" Jamie worriedly finished, as she looked down." I'm sure that is not a good idea Figure 17, since I think Captain Tamara will have other ideas to help us." Dumbledore kindly informed the now shocked twins.
As the twins were speechless, Dumbledore continued." I was supposed to wait till Captain Tamara got in touch with me, to reveal myself, but I guess I will do it now, to settle your worries." Dumbledore informed the twins, as he held up his hand for his phoenix, and once the bird landed, they were engulfed in a bright light, and in a second, a man with dark brown hair, and about the age of forty appeared in red and gold robes." As you can see, once we merge with our Figure, we retain our youthful appearances." A younger Dumbledore informed." You are like us?" Harry asked, as he stood up, along with Jamie, and both held hands, and in the next second, Kaitlyn appeared." I think there is something wrong with my Figure." Kaitlyn joked, since she gotten use to this form." I was told that your Figure was a prototype, so these things happen, but I'm sure Captain Tamara wouldn't let you have her, if anything bad would've had happen." Dumbledore grinned, and then he separated, as did the twins.
Once the Chosen One's was acquainted with each other, they went down to business." Like I said, at the beginning, Tamara can take care of you and himself, so no worries for now!" Dumbledore assured the twins." But still, what we are going to do!" Jamie asked, just as a voice interrupted their talk." Nothing, since I can handle anything you earthlings can send my way." Tamara joked as soon as he appeared, and the twin quickly stood up." UNCLE TAMARA!" The twins yelled, and got up to hug him." Glad to see you two, and glad to finally meet you Albus." Tamara kindly said, as he let the twins go, and shook Dumbledore's hand." Glad to meet you too!" Dumbledore started as he bowed." And thank you for returning my Figure to full power." Dumbledore happily said." No thanks is needed, just make sure to help the twins, when the time comes." Tamara started, but the door to the office slammed opened, interrupting their talks.
No one in the office moved, as Aurors rushed into the room with Fudge, whom grinned at the occupants in the office." That is Tamara, seize him!" Fudge yelled, but everyone, except for the Chosen Ones, their Figures and Tamara had was frozen in place." Now that I got everyone's attention, which one of you is the head Auror?" Tamara commanded, a he moved towards the now frozen arrivals, and one of the Aurors suddenly moved." What the, I mean me, I am in charge." Shackelbolt said, as he stood up to Tamara." Then you'll recognize this badge!" Tamara said, as he held up an official looking badge, and the Auror eyes went wide." SORRY CAPTAIN SIR, FOR THIS MISUNDERSTANDING SIR!" Shackelbolt stuttered in disbelief." Glad to see that you clearly understand the situation." Tamara started calmly, then his voice sounded more commanding then the twins had ever heard him speak." Now would you make sure Fudge does also, and make sure that the TWINS, are not DISTURB while under MY protection." Tamara said in a voice that was filled with power." Yes sir, I will sir!" Shackelbolt stuttered, and then turned to the other Aurors." The twins will stay with Captain Tamara, and no matter what anyone says he holds more authority then them, including the Minister himself!" Shackelbolt commanded, and then dismiss half the Aurors in the room.
As the Aurors where dismissed, Fudge found that he could move." WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS; I WANT THE TWINS IN MALFOY CUSTODY!" Fudge yelled, as he turned to Tamara." I'm the Minister of Magic, and what I say is law!" Fudge said in a commanding voice, but Tamara stepped up to Fudge." Minister Fudge, if you look into section one, in the Laws of the Ministry of Magic, for the year of 1000, you will find this badge!" Tamara firmly said, as he held the badge in the Minister's face." In that law, anyone who holds this badge is beyond the laws, and can dismiss the current Minister, if he or she sees fit!" Tamara said, in a threatening voice, which frightened everyone in the room." And another thing, those laws are binding laws, so you can't remove them from the list, without losing your magic first, just to make sure you understand this situation!" Tamara finished, as Fudge crumbled in fear." I'm sorry; please don't remove me from office!" Fudge cried like a baby." I will not for now, but I WILL if I see you make another blunder like this one, do I make myself clear!" Tamara angrily informed, and Fudge only could nod, as his body shook." Then leave this school, and never come back, unless invited!" Tamara commanded, and then turned to the head Auror." Shackelbolt, before I forget, arrest Lucius Malfoy, for being a Death Eater, and this time, make sure no amount of money can free him from Azkaban!" Tamara commanded, and Shackelbolt quickly nodded, and order his men to do it, and they quickly placed shackles on Malfoy, and portkeyed him away.
Once The Chosen Ones, the Figures and Tamara were alone, Tamara looked sorry." I'm sorry you had to see that, but it always help in this type of situation." Tamara apologized to the others." It's alright, just don't do it again, please." Harry and Jamie pleaded, causing the older ones to laugh." Luckily for me, I have seen my traveler engage his authority a number of times, so I can handle yours Captain Tamara." Dumbledore informed Tamara, whom smiled at the joked." Glad to hear it!" Tamara happily said." Hey with Malfoy gone, the Chamber of Secrete will not be open next year right?" The twins hopefully asked, as they turned to Tamara." Unfortunately the chamber will be opened, since if it happened in the last timeline it will happen in this one, so just look for clues, which I will give next year, alright." Tamara suggested, and the twins nodded, as they looked disappointed." Good, now that is settled, I think you youngsters have to get ready for the holidays, so go on now and get lost." Tamara joked, and the twins quickly left after a quick goodbye.
Once the twins were gone, Tamara turned to Dumbledore." You know, what will happen once I complete the Twins training right?" Tamara questioned." You will be leaving to go to the future, to see what happens, just like my Traveler did." Dumbledore answered, but did not like the answer one bit." Yes I'm afraid, since even though I can help your world, I cannot interfere more then I am now doing." Tamara started, with a sigh." I never told Harry this, so please look after him, when I'm gone, since I'm sure his training will be over in another year." Tamara finished." One thing before you leave, are you going to let Harry keep his sister, when this is over." Dumbledore asked." I am, since the two shared a bond closer then any other Figure and their user, I ever worked with before." Tamara informed a relieved Dumbledore." Also, as for your help in training Harry, is not needed, except for maybe a dueling partner, but only when I say so, alright!" Tamara commanded, and Dumbledore nodded." Then that is all I needed to say, so long Albus I will see you again." Tamara said and disappeared.
