Disclaimer: First off, I DO NOT own Harry Potter or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I also do not own any other references to other things that are owned by other people that I might mention in here. If that made any sense to you…more power to you.
A/N: I thought that I would put a nice little note here for you. I would like to say first of all that Insomnia sucks…and anyways, in my last chapter I now realize that I had a few spelling errors. None of them were crucial but I was reading my chapter again so that I could get back on track when I noticed that she is not spelled s-e, and 'You wondering what…' doesn't quite work, and also 'we became friend' is very caveman of me. And then of course Alicia, Sirius and Lucius have 3 weeks worth of detention not 3 works worth. Ok now that I have shared with you my stupidity, why don't we get on with the story…
Twin Slayers, Twin Watchers
Chapter 5: Reminiscing Part 2
Remus stared at the woman in front of him. He looked her over. She was considerably tanner then she was the last time he saw her but she was still paler then most. Her hair was a light golden blonde and in pig tails. Her face was still the same just slightly aged. She was pretty distinguishable as a Malfoy, she had the pointy face and sharp nose but her Caribbean blue eyes were fuller then any Malfoy he had ever met. She was about 5'6 with the combat boots she wore and was wearing muggle clothes. She had on a tight black wife beater and an army green blazer with a pair of tight black jeans. She had a very small amount of make up on…then again, she never really wore make up. As far as Remus could tell, she had gotten 3 new peircings, bringing the total to…13.
"So I see you are wearing more earrings these days." Remus said seeing as he was unable to get anything else out.
"Yep, and I see that you have taken to not wearing yours." She said with a smirk.
"You know I think the Malfoy smirk is genetic. It seems that no matter how much you hate the Malfoy family, if you have Malfoy blood then you have the Malfoy smirk." He said with sarcasm.
"You know I think you are right. Over generation's and generations, the Malfoy smirk has stayed on our faces." She said with a smile.
"The Malfoy smirk isn't the same as any other smirk either, its just different then the others in its own little way." Remus smiled too.
"You're such an ass you know that?" She said and then they hugged.
"What the hell are you doing here? Where have you been? What happened?" Remus asked.
"Oh the questions!" Alicia was all dramatic then became serious. "Well you see my son is kind of in a state of total horror and my daughter is being beaten to death by a nasty son-of-a-bitch. I think you would come out of hiding too."
"Well where have you been? God it's been ages! How did you know about them?"
"Well I ended up in Washington State somehow. I did a lot of slaying out there. I've kind of settled down a bit, and I don't mean settled down like settle down I just mean that my wild streak has become more of a wild thread. And what makes you think I wouldn't know about my own kids!"
"Well you were half way around the world!"
"Dumbledore had his way of contacting me in an emergency. I talked to him about an hour ago. It took me forever to find my floo powder. I didn't want to apperate because well…I haven't done it for fourteen years and you and I both know that I was never any good at it anyways." They both laughed.
"Yeah took you four times. I remember that so well. Oh, there is a Weasley you need to meet. Alicia this is Ginevra…" Ginny gave him an evil look. "…Ginny, the only daughter and youngest Weasley." Alicia and Ginny shook hands.
"So are you the only Weasley I've missed?" said Alicia.
"Depends who was the last one you met?" Ginny said.
"You saw Ron didn't you?" Remus asked.
"I did."
"Then Ginny is the only one you didn't."
"Well then it's great to meet a legend, I mean the first girl born into the Weasley clan for several generations, right? You should be proud." Alicia smiled.
"Well I guess. It's not all that great. I get babied too much."
"That can happen. So speaking of the youngest…how's my youngest? And when are we going to get my oldest?" She said in a serious tone.
"Well Damien is doing fine now and we are going to get Alex tomorrow. How are you holding up?"
"Oh I don't know. They're never going to except me. Probably say I'm a coward. Especially him. He was never very forgiving, even when he was two. Remember the cat?" She put her head in her hands.
"Oh yeah I remember. The cat scratched him so he hated the cat and never got over it, started locking it in the closet." Remus chuckled. "He was like that in my class too." Alicia's head shot up.
"You taught him? You were a teacher? What did you teach? Do you still teach?"
"No way! I am done with teaching, it was great and all but I couldn't stand the leaving for a week every month and having Severus teach my class."
"But you were the best Defense teacher we have ever had!" Ginny said joining the conversation.
"So the cursed one joins the cursed class. Nice choice Moony. Come to the cursed side!" Alicia started laughing. "That's great! Personal demonstrations on the life of a werewolf. So did they find out?" She couldn't control her laughter.
"Yes we found out at the end of the year." Ginny said.
"Yeah your husband decided to come to the school and try to kill Peter. Of course everyone thought he was trying to kill Harry. Then Harry decided to go after him and Ron and their friend Hermione got involved partly because it ended up that Ron's pet Scabbers was really Peter and so Sirius led them into the shrieking shack. I followed them we caught Peter and then on our way out the full moon decided to pop its way into the sky. Peter got away and went back to Voldemort and Sirius went into hiding and I left the school. The rest are just boring details." Remus had a blank face. Alicia just gave him a skeptic look.
"Boring details…sure."
"Ok well they aren't that boring but I don't feel like explaining."
"Ok whatever. Did you say that Ron and Harry are friends? You are talking about Harry, Harry right? James and Lily's Harry?"
"Yeah. I couldn't believe it myself. I couldn't help but think how small this world was."
"Yeah. What about Beth?" Remus looked at the floor. "You don't know what happened?"
"No. We've decided that we are going to start searching. Try to figure out what did happen."
"Well, on that happy note…we sure are having an eventful summer. Where is Voldy? I swear I am going to kill him with my bare hands." Alicia said wringing her hands together.
"Watch out Voldemort. You've got an angry mother in you're mist. DUCK AND COVER!" Remus started laughing. Alicia hit him.
"Oh you two act like you're five. Seriously…" Ginny rolled her eyes. They both just grinned at her. Just then Draco started turning around under the covers. It wasn't as bad as earlier though.
"No…please…d…d…don't…not the coconuts…AHH! PIRATES!" Draco whimpered in his sleep. He shot up and looked around and saw them all standing there. "….Hi…" He fell back down onto the bed. He was sound asleep.
"Ok…that wasn't weird at all." Alicia said sarcastically.
"Sarcasm also runs in the Malfoy heritage…right up there with the smirk and the blonde hair…"
"Shut up Remus…"
Remus, Alicia and Ginny all went down stairs for breakfast later that morning after a very awkward encounter with Mrs. Weasley involving insults, crying, hugging, and then an accusation that Alicia had starved herself these last fourteen years.
"So what else has been happening around here since I've been gone?" Alicia said mouth full of bacon.
"Well you know death eaters, Harry Potter getting himself into trouble all the time with Ron and Hermione, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named trying to take over the world…he took Ginny hostage in the Chamber of Secrets…" Molly said in monotone. Ginny looked horrified.
"MOM!"
"Me, Harry and Hermione aren't always getting in trouble. It isn't our fault it just always seems to find us…" Ron continued to eat.
"What about Damien? I heard he turned out just like Lucius. Bastard. That is exactly what he was being when he re-named him Draco. I hate Lucius. " Alicia spit out Lucius' name with enormous disgust.
"You bet he turned out exactly like him…" Ron said with equal disgust.
"Ronald!" Molly yelled.
"Well it's true! He's an evil, arrogant, prejudiced, self-centered bastard! He thinks he owns the world because he's so rich!" Ron was bright red.
"I'm not really like that…"
Everyone spun in their chairs. There was Draco leaning in the doorway. He had no shirt on and he looked about ready to puke.
"Oh. Come sit down. You need to eat something dear." Molly said.
"Actually I was looking for my clothes."
"Well you see those are ruined and we haven't had a chance to go and get your other ones. So…"
"He can borrow some of ours." George said.
"Do you think I would trust anything you gave him?" She said. "Ginny go and get something from the line." Ginny nodded and walked outside to get something off the clothes line. Ron was so angry by now. He was sitting there giving everyone dirty looks. Draco was trying hard not to look up at anyone. When he finally looked up he looked around the table and made eye contact with Alicia.
"Mum?"
"Yeah…"Alicia couldn't get anything else out. She was just staring at him. Tears were starting to well up in her eyes. Ron got up and left the room, stomping upstairs. They all heard his door slam and the unmistakable…
"Shit…"
Ginny came back in with some clothes.
"Um…well I really didn't know which would fit so…" She gave him a pile of clothes.
"Thanks." He grabbed the clothes.
"There is a bathroom across the hall from Ginny's room. Go and get cleaned up then you are going to come back here and eat." Molly ordered. Draco nodded.
"Yes ma'am." He walked out of the room. When they heard the bathroom door shut, Alicia burst out crying.
"Jesus Christ! I can't take it!" She buried her head in her hands. Remus patted her back.
"It's going to be alright. You'll see. It wasn't your fault you had to leave. If you had come back they would have killed you." Remus said.
"That shouldn't have mattered! I should have stayed with them! NO MATTER WHAT IT COST ME!" Alicia was hysterical.
"Alicia…If you hadn't separated them then they would have been killed too. If you had stayed then no one would have survived." Molly said
"What about Alex! Look what has happened to her! VOLDEMORT IS TORTURING HER! And Damien hasn't had any better! I mean he lived with Lucius! MY FUCKING BROTHER WHO I DESPISE WORSE THEN VOLDEMORT HIMSELF! And now Sirius is gone too!" Alicia was sobbing. Draco walked back in. Alicia turned around and started bawling even harder. She got up and hugged him. He hugged her back.
"I forgive you." Alicia shook her head in his shoulder. "No really, I understand I know why you had to leave and why we all got split up. Lucius told me the deatheaters point of it and…I know…"
"We're all going to be together again if it's the last thing I do…" They all looked scared at her sudden hostility. "There has got to be some way to get Sirius out of that veil…" She started mumbling to herself. She let go of Draco and sat down picking at her eggs staring into space.
"Come here Damien. We need to feed you…you look like a twig, maybe smaller…" Molly was back to her motherly ways. After Molly had given Draco enough food for 12 people she finally let him be. Draco started to talk to Bill and Charlie
"Don't worry she does that to everyone. You should have seen when Remus got here." Charlie laughed.
"Yeah it was right after the full moon so his was still all sickly. I think he sat here for…how long was it Remus?" Remus gave him an evil look.
"Four hours thirty-two minutes."
"Wow. How much food was that?" Draco said in shock.
"Enough to feed an army or five." Bill said.
"Yeah when mom feeds you…She feeds you." They all laughed. Dumbledore and Arthur walked in looking gloomy. Everyone was silent.
"We need to get ready. We head out at noon." Arthur said.
"We need to go over what will be happening. Miss Weasley you understand that you will not be coming?" Ginny nodded.
"Ron is also staying." Arthur said. "I don't want him going. Where is he?"
"He stormed off when Damien came down." Bill said. Arthur looked surprised. It was obvious that he had just noticed that Draco was even there.
"How are you feeling? Any better?" He asked.
"I feel like 50 dragons came and sat on me one by one then I decided to crash into a building on my broomstick going 300 miles per hour. But I am feeling better then I was last night…well this morning." Draco smiled at him.
"So let's go over what is going to be happening…" Dumbledore said. "This whole operation is going to be done in waves…first wave will be the first group of elite Aurors…then the brute squad…then will be the Order…after that the search and rescue team is going to head in…then we will have the lower class Aurors followed by the second group of elites. After that we will have to see. Severus will be inside when we get there, trying to divert attention. Alicia… I hope I'm not mistaken that you wish to remain on the brute squad?"
"Of course I still want to be on the brute squad…I am the brute squad. I was always stronger then all those halffers!"
"Halffers?" Draco asked.
"It's what I call the people who think they are strong because they are big. They work out too much."
"Well you do know that it's not just half-giants and Dragon warriors now?"
"Still stronger…" She turned her nose up.
"You are stronger then HALF-GIANTS!"
"Of course I am. What do you expect, I am a slayer…wait you probably didn't know that." Ginny's mouth dropped to the floor.
"What are Dragon warriors?" Draco asked.
"They are men who have the strength and some characteristics of dragons. They're all different depending on what species they are based off of." Charlie said.
"Cool." Was all he could say.
"Draco, Remus, Charlie, Bill…You four are going in with the rescue team."
"Why am I going with the rescue team?" Charlie asked.
"Because you were trained in search and rescue during your training for dragon handling." Arthur said.
"But why would that help? The terrain is all different. I was trained to look in forests and caves."
"It wasn't my decision; it was Rachel Manning who decided that you would be perfect." Arthur said.
"Rachel Manning? That crazy Ravenclaw girl who use to follow you around during your forth year!" Bill said.
"Yes. She is the head of the special elite Auror team now." Arthur said. Bill burst out laughing and fell off his chair.
"Well Charlie, it looks like you still have an admirer on your hands." Alicia said giggling.
"Arthur and I will be going in with the order. As for Fred and George, I assume you two are coming?" Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling.
"You bet your lemon drops we are." Fred said. Dumbledore chuckled.
"Very well. You two will be going in with the last wave. Are there any questions? No, ok good. Oh I almost forgot to mention that Blaise Zambini is also working as a spy. He might be there but we are not sure so try not to harm him if you are to come across him." Draco was in shock.
"Blaise is a spy? That is so cool."
"Why do you say that? It's dangerous work." Remus said.
"It's not the fact that he is a spy it's that I can still hang out with him and not have to worry about getting my head chopped off!" Draco was sincerely excited.
"Ok enough chit-chat. It's time you all got ready to go, and might I suggest that you all where something comfortable and easy to move around in, there is no need to show off wearing a mini skirt and 18th century corset." Dumbledore looked pointedly at Alicia.
"You know, you ruin all my fun sometimes." She stalked off.
"Mini skirt and a corset?" Draco asked Remus with a blank stare.
"A couple years before you were born there was an attack on Hogwarts, she showed up in a leather mini skirt, high purple platform stilettos and a green corset. Then she went and kicked butt."
"Are you serious?"
"No i'm not your father."
"………"
"Sorry, he used to do that all the time. It's the stupidest joke I think I've ever heard but I had to do it."
"Well…I better go and get ready to go." Draco got up and went up stairs to get shoes.
After everyone was ready they left and went to the Ministry. Once they got there they were instructed by a lady that Remus could only assume was Charlie's stalker and of course the Minister. They both gave their little speeches and their commands.
"You will be apperating right outside the wall so be prepared to fight right as you get there." Stalker girl said. "The first three waves will be going in the north entrance and the last three will be going through the west entrance. I assume everyone has been informed of the style we are going in? Good. Now let's go kick some death eater butt."
Everyone got up. The first wave was getting ready to go when Dumbledore walked over to them.
"Damien, have you gotten you apperating license yet?"
"Yes. I got it over Christmas break."
"I was making sure because if you hadn't we would have needed to get a port key. Very well. Good luck to you I must be going now, my group is about to leave." He waved good bye to them and walked over to his group. Remus and Draco turned to Alicia; she gave them a weak smile and waved. Then she apperated out with the rest of the brute squad.
"Wow those guys were big. She looked like ant compared to them…" Draco was shocked.
"Yes well…Don't judge a book by its cover. Not only has she got a lot of magical power but she's also got slayer strength." Remus said.
"Hey you guys we need to get ready…The Order just left…" Bill said. "Let's go…"
Back to Hogwarts: Remus and Draco in astronomy tower
"Oh yesss…I remember it very well…your nightmare…Alicia…"
"Yeah, exactly. Well that was the first stay, then there was the attack on Riddle manor…"
Riddle Manor (In 3rd person)
There on the hill above Hangleton stood Riddle Manor. Nobody knew what went on in there since the deaths of the Riddles. Ever since Frank Bryce' mysterious disappearance, even the town children stayed away. This is why nobody noticed that a whole battalion of wizards had started coming in waves, attacking the supposedly deserted mansion.
Groups were coming in flanks at the north wall. The first wave went almost completely unnoticed by the hooded guards. By the second wave a full out battle had begun. By the third wave…well lets say it could be described as…Napoleon's Waterloo except this was Napoleon's turf...
As the battle went on at the front gate, the next small group at the west gate was unseen. This group was a very abnormal group, it consisted of a werewolf, a man with very long very red hair, another man with the same red hair who was also quite muscular, a very pale blonde boy with a pointy nose, and of course four extremely uptight and boring wizards. They all looked at each other before the werewolf pointed his wand at the gate and blew it off its hinges. The ministry officials looked horrified.
"Now Remus…was that really necessary?" The muscular red-head said in a sarcastic tone, chuckling.
"Now Charlie…would you have done it any differently?" came the blonde's reaction.
"Of course he wouldn't Damien." The long haired man said.
"Oh shut up Bill, we have a twin to save." Charlie said, hitting Bill in the arm. The ministry officials all gave each other looks like they were all doomed with this group.
They ran to the back still going unnoticed by the death eaters. They had a brief glance at the battle in the front of the house. They saw Albus Dumbledore taking on three death eaters, and they saw Arthur Weasley take out a deatheater and get hit by an unknown spell but then automatically revived by one of the Order members. Then they saw Alicia…Draco was shocked. It was the first time that he had seen his mother in action. Everyone around him could tell by the look on his face that he was impressed and confused at how she got that way. Alicia of course had just stunned four deatheaters, turned around jumped on one tackled him down knocked him unconscious then ran over to one of the elites who was being cornered and poked one of the deatheaters and he crumpled up then she turn to the deatheater that was next to her and punched him in the stomach, he bent down so she kneed him in the balls, then hit him over the head with her fist. He collapsed, she smiled. Then someone shot an avada kedavra curse at her. She was shocked at first but composed her self…she grabbed a nearby deatheater pushing him in front of her, he took the blow. She picked him up and tossed him at the one who shot the curse at her. It hit its target and took three others while it was at it. She was pleased with herself.
Remus realized what Draco was staring at and he pushed Draco. Draco snapped out of it and looked up at Remus.
"Let's go."
They walked up to the back door of the house. It was difficult to spot at first because it was completely covered in vines.
"Ok. This is it. Where do you think we should check first?" Remus said turning around to face the group.
"I think we should check down in the dungeons first…because that would be the most likely of places." On of the ministry officials said.
"Actually…shouldn't we check up stairs first then work our way down. I mean, there are only two stories to the house, but who knows how far those dungeons go." Draco said.
"Absolutely right Damien. We will go up stairs then split into groups of two checking each room." Remus said. Everyone nodded. The made their way to the stairs, they stopped at the bottom and Remus turned to face the group again.
"Ok…Damien, you come with me. We will check the first three rooms on the right side…Charlie and Bill; you check the last three rooms on the same side. Farva and Rembrandt, you two will take the first three on the left side. Croft and O'Brian, you will take the last three on the left. We will meet at the middle of the hallway in exactly fifteen minutes to go through the last door. Make sure to look for any signs of hidden doors or passages. If you find any signs of her…then send sparks through the group's wands. Work from the first door in the hallway to the last. Once you are done with a room, put a red X on the door so we know where to look for you if there is trouble. Any questions? No? Then let's go." They made their way up the stairs cautiously and separated. Once they were at their doors they nodded at each other and went through. They found nothing. Absolutely nothing. Every door they went through was the same. All the rooms looked like they hadn't been used in years.
After fifteen minutes of searching they met up in the middle.
"Time to go through door 13…yippee…" Draco said.
They moved towards the door. They all just stared at it for a minute each daring the other to touch the doorknob. Finally Draco kicked it open. What they found shocked them immensely…
A/N: He he…Well now I know why most authors have cliffhangers…first of all they're fun and most authors use them to get people to review…But I don't care if you review or not…I would like if you did however……but anyways…
There sitting in the middle of the floor looking straight at them, was a humongous snake…Basilisk to be exact. They all screamed and shut the door really fast.
"No body looked into its eyes…right?" Remus asked panting slightly. Farva crumpled to the floor. The whole group stared at him.
"I guess that would be yes…he seems to have…" Charlie said.
"Do you think that she's in there? The snake would be a perfect protection if she was in another room back there…" Bill said. Remus shook his head.
"No…I think that was where Voldemort was…" The ministry officials flinched.
"Hey what's up with Damien?" Bill said pointing to the middle of the hall. The group turned around. Draco was standing in the middle of the hall staring at the ceiling. He twitched then started looking around wildly like he was seeing something that no one else could. He kept turning around with his eyes wide, and then he started to follow something. His eyes widened and he tried to reach out for something. Then he flew back at the wall. They walked toward him. He stood up shaking his head with his eyes closed.
"They took her…she isn't here…they had her all along…"
"Who?" Remus said.
"The ministry…" Draco said as he opened his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, then he straightened out as if he was in shock. He rubbed his eyes again.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Remus said urgently.
"Remus…I…I…I can't see anything…"
"……" They all stared at him in shock.
"Nothing…nothing at all?" Remus said disbelievingly.
"Well I can see but everything is blurry…I can't make anything out…this is sooo weird"
Remus held up his hand and put up two fingers.
"Ok, tell me when you can make out how many fingers I have up." He started about a foot away from him and moved in. When he got about two inches from his face Draco nodded.
"Two…"
"How… What happened?" Remus asked him.
"I don't know. I just started going towards the stairs and all of a sudden, the room changed…It was still the same but I could tell that…Well I realized that it was a different day. I turned around trying to figure out what happened and then…I saw her…There were Aurors carrying her…she was tied up and she was floating above them…for some reason she looked towards me, as if she could see me here…then I tried grabbing her and everything disappeared and I tried to figure out what happened and I opened up my eyes and couldn't see anything." He explained. Remus turned around to face the ministry officials who were now trying to lift Farva up.
"Did you know she was gone?" They all shook their heads.
"If we knew then why would we have come?" one of them said.
"We risked our lives to come after nothing…something that we already have…"
"You're right…you should get back to the ministry." Remus said. They nodded at him and left.
"Come on Remus, we better get out of here too." Charlie said pointing to Draco.
"Yeah come on help me with him…"
They successfully maneuvered Draco down the stairs only tripping once and started to make their way outside. Remus stopped and turned to Bill.
"Bill cover us…make sure that no stay spells hit us." Bill nodded.
As they moved towards the gate Alicia saw them with Draco. She got worried. She slipped out of the battle and ran over to them.
"What happened!" She said.
"Alicia, its fine. Go and take out your anger on those deatheaters and meet us at St. Mungos with the order…we found out something but I want everyone there first…Ok?" Alicia looked over at Draco who was squinting then opening his eyes really big then closing them, then doing it all over again. "Don't worry about him…I will explain later No go on and don't worry about it."
"Ok fine…I'll be there as soon as I can but if anything is wrong with him then I will stuff your head in a garbage disposal! Have fun…" with that she ran off throwing curses at the random deatheaters along the way.
"Let's go…Damien?" Damien had straightened out and was paleing considerably.
"Dementors…"He whispered. Remus looked at him.
"What are you talking about there aren't any…" Charlie tapped Remus on the shoulder and pointed at the gate. There floating right outside the gate were over a hundred dementors.
"Look at the four in the front…they aren't dementors." Bill said.
Bill was right…the four in front of the group had just changed from dementors to giant sphinxes, to tiny red pixies, to sea serpents, to dragons, to Voldemort…
"They're demons…we are screwed…" Remus said. Remus turned around and pulled Draco and Charlie with him. He started running in the opposite direction.
"REMUS WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! WE ARE GOING TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BATTLE!" Charlie screamed.
"I WOULD RATHER GO THROUGH THAT THEN FACE THEM! WE HAVE ACTUALLY GOT A CHANCE OF SURVIVING IF WE GO THROUGH THIS!" He said pointing to the deatheaters. "NOW RUN!"
They all just did as he said. Alicia saw them running and became confused. She had never seen Remus run away from anything like that before…never. Then ran passed her and Remus stopped and backed up.
"Dementors…hundreds…led…Demons…four…have fun…St. Mungos…Bye…" He started running again. Alicia turned around and punched a deatheater that was trying to sneak up on her. She searched around for Dumbledore. She saw him fighting with Mad-eye. She walked over to them and started helping.
"What was that all about?" Mad-eye said. She told them about how she went over to see what was wrong and how he requested they all meet at St. Mungos after because they found out something.
"Ok well that still doesn't explain what he was running away from." Dumbledore said.
"I was getting their, if you would just be patient. I walked away and they walked out of my sight then a few minutes later they ran back into view and they ran past came back and he gave me a very incoherent message then ran off again."
"And this message was?" Mad-eye asked obviously getting annoyed.
"Well that is quite unnecessary…seeing as we can see exactly what he was talking about…" Dumbledore said chuckling slightly.
"Holy Shit…" Alicia stared at the dementors. "Have fun…" Alicia burst out laughing.
"Albus…she's gone bonkers…" Arthur said walking over to them. Deatheaters where forgotten as the Demon led group came into view.
"Well I say we get out there and kick some butt…" Alicia said as she ran towards the group.
"Definitely bonkers…" Dumbledore said. "At least this time she's wearing clothes…" He chuckled again and stunned a deatheater that was trying to escape.
As Alicia ran towards the demons they smiled knowing exactly who she was. She smiled back knowing exactly what they were going to do. The one on the left turned into a big Dragon, bigger then any normal dragon. The one on the far right turned into a big black dog, it wasn't a normal dog however. This dog looked evil, it had glowing blood red eyes and very sharp teeth, like big razors. The dog unmistakably had blood and small pieces of intestine all over its body. The groups behind her saw the shudder that ran through her body, but she didn't back down. Then the two demons in the middle began to change… There stood Draco and beside him was a girl. She had light golden blonde hair that went to the middle of her back. Her clothes were very gothic, she had on a black pair of pants with a lot of zippers and belts and chains. She had on a black leather corset and a black choker. There were tattoos running up and down her arms. Draco on the other hand had black cargo pants with a lot of chains and belts. He had a spiked choker. His hair had black streaks randomly spread through it and he had tattoos covering his left side running from the middle of his neck going all the way down to his pant line . Alicia stared at them, jaw dropped. Everyone could tell by the look on her face that these two people were the infamous twins…but why would the demons change into them. Their answer came when the demons smiled again…they were master vampires…
"You can't scare me… I know what you are and what you are trying to do…it doesn't effect me…"
"Your face says differently slayer." Demon Draco said, it sounded exactly like him.
"Your aura shows nothing but fear and rage…you should watch yourself…especially since you know we show the truth…you've seen it…that's the only way we know what you fear." The girl said.
"Yeah…so what….I've seen lot's of things, not all of them came true." Alicia said. "Plus if what you say is true, then I should let you know you are missing something." They smiled again. Then wings came out of both of their backs. They were pitch black and covered in blood. Alicia grimaced.
"So are we going to stand here and talk about my aura and my dreams all day or shall I start kicking your asses?"
"Bring it on slayer…" Demon Draco said. He pointed at the Dragon; the Dragon nodded and swooped down at her. She grabbed its nose and forced it down to the ground. Charlie saw this and stopped. Remus turned around.
"Holy crap!" Charlie said. "That's just…wow…wait a minute is that…"
"I think it is them…They have wings…" Remus replied.
"What the hell are you two talking about! Remember the one who can't see!" Draco yelled.
"Well Draco do you know what Demons do?"
"Sort of…Don't they change their appearances to what you fear so they can eat you?"
"Yes…that would be the shortened version…well they also can tell what will happen in the future and they are mind readers, to an extent."
"What do you mean… to an extent." Bill said.
"Well they can only read what people fear…unless you are particularly vulnerable then they will sit there and read you like an open book and then eat with their afternoon tea…" They all gave him weird looks at his last comment. "What it's true!"
"Ok so what does this have to do with what you are seeing…and I'm not."
"Well right now we are looking over there and we see you and your sister looking very gothic with bloody black wings and very sharp teeth. Oh and there is a really big ugly dog with small body parts and blood all over it about to jump at your mother who is currently tackling a dragon about two times the size or a normal Hungarian Horntail…" Charlie exclaimed smiling. Draco looked as if the mysteries of life had just been revealed.
"What color is my hair? Does it have black streaks in it?"
"How the hell did you know that?" Bill asked. They were all staring at him in disbelief.
"I saw it…in a dream a few weeks ago. I started having them about a month before school ended. Are her eyes completely black? And do we both have tattoos?"
They continued to stare at him. "I'll take that as a yes…I've been having mixed dreams…she is always black like that but her appearance changes, sometimes she just like normal but with the wings and black eyes, sometimes she is gothic looking, sometimes she looks evil, and sometimes she looks good. Her hair changes too. It usually is blonde but sometimes it has streaks in it, sometimes it is all black, a couple of times it was blood red…those times she didn't look the same, it was like there was someone else in her body. Some of my dreams I was dark like what you are seeing…but a lot of the time I have white wings and we are both standing together about to go against something…but I have never figured out what…"
"Is there anything else you see in these dreams?" Remus asked.
"Well sometimes there are other people too…" Draco turned away like he was embarrassed.
"Like who?" Charlie asked him.
"Like your sister…and George and Potter and Blaise and…and…"
"And who?" Bill said.
"Granger…" Draco whispered.
"Were you all together?"
"Sometimes…other times it would be Me, Alex, Potter, and Granger. Other times it was Alex and George. Then there were times when it was Ginny and Blaise or Ginny and Harry or even all three of them. Then…" Draco blushed and put his head down.
"What? Who else?"
"Me and Granger..."
"Well…I think there is something to these dreams, possibly visions…they seem to run in the family…"
"…I never really hated any of you…not Granger, not Potter, of course Ron was kind of hate able…but you understand…I never hated your family or even Longbottom…Or Hagrid…" Draco was mumbling to himself.
They looked back over at Alicia, she was pounding the dragon into unconsciousness, and then the dog attacked her she hit it and it flew across the lawn, landed on its feet at bounded back at her. It snarled, she snarled back. It jumped at her and she caught it and cracked its neck. She turned to look at the twins. Remus saw face for a moment…he knew that look.
"She looks scary…Like she's going to blow them up…or chop them into little demon pieces and put them on skewers and feed them to a hippogriff…" Charlie said.
It was his turn for the odd looks from the group.
"Now she's going to bring out the big guns…muggle term." They all nodded at the explanation of what he had just said. "She keeps spared energy stored for occasions like this. She stores her extra energy so that she can use it later just in case she needs more power. Kind of like a magnate of the wizarding world…a mage…whatever, we better get out of here…"
They apperated just as Alicia sent a banishing spell at the remaining demons. They looked at her in shock then disappeared in a fireball. Then the dementors started towards her. She smiled then started concentrating really hard on her stored energy then when she had a firm grip on it she thought of the happiest thing she could think of…Her, Sirius, Remus, Severus, and Damien and Alex all together again having dinner and messing around playing games and quidditch and being a happy family…
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" A huge silver griffin shot out of her wand, it charged towards the dementors and just as it was about to hit…it circled around the dementors creating a dome that enclosed them. The dome became smaller and smaller until finally it was gone. The dementors had disintegrated. She walked away from the nothingness.
Everyone stared at her, including the deatheaters…
"What?" She said.
Remus, Draco, Charlie and Bill all apperated to St. Mungos and were now being escorted to one of the rooms that had been reserved for the people involved in the battle. The room they came into had 6 beds and looked almost exactly like the hospital wing at Hogwarts.
"Just put him on that bed right there and someone will be here in a few minutes." The mediwitch said. Remus nodded to her and she left while he helped Draco on to the bed.
"Why don't you and Charlie go down to the lobby and wait for the rest to get here…make sure they know where to go." Remus said to Bill. Bill and Charlie both nodded and left.
"I feel like some victim of something horrible…like…Ebola or something."
"Why do you say that?" Remus asked.
"By the way you guys are acting. All I need are glasses, I knew I was getting them…Alex has them too."
"Did you see that in one of your dreams/visions?"
"Yeah…There's something I don't get though…"
"What?"
"Why did all this start happening now? I mean like my eyes, the dreams, my personality…?"
"I really don't know? Maybe it has something to do with what happened when you were kids? We have all summer…If you don't mind, maybe we can do some research?"
"Ok…Its not like I have anything else planned…I probably have every single deatheater ever after me at the moment…"
"Probably…Well all the ones that weren't there tonight."
"I have this odd feeling that he knew we were coming…I mean, seriously, how did he find out on such short notice? Narcissa named off all the double sided ones…who could it have been?" He looked up at Remus…even though he couldn't see him clearly.
"I yet again have no answer…"
"Maybe Narcissa will let us use Lucius' library…She probably will…there is tons of stuff in there that would probably help to find out what's going on with me and we might find out something about the deatheaters."
"Umm…sure…" Draco felt his hesitation but decided not to say anything. Just then the door flew open and in came the order. First Dumbledore with Alicia, then Arthur with Tonks and Mad-eye. The rest came in after that. Charlie and Bill came in last shutting the door behind them. Alicia maneuvered her way over to Draco and sat down on his bed.
"So…what did you want to tell us?" Tonks asked.
"Well are search for Alex was unsuccessful…"
"That much is obvious…" The whole room turned towards the door wands raised. There standing in the doorway was Snape. He was still dressed in full deatheaters robes. He held his mask in his left hand. They put there wands down and he put the mask in his robes. "Why are we all here if you were…unsuccessful…?"
"Because we found out that the ministry has had her this whole time. They raided the place three weeks ago…tied up my sister like she was some animal. It was awful…who knows what they are doing to her now…" Everyone just stared at him. Snape nodded.
"Draco you aren't the only one who cares about her…"
"Snape? Care? Who thought it was possible?" Remus said sarcastically. He smiled at the look on his face.
"Is this really the time Remus? Can't you put aside this petty rivalry for now? That's my god daughter out there probably being tortured by ministry officials and you are standing there making lame jokes about me…"
"You haven't cared about anything…ever…What makes you think I would put aside facts like that just because you decided to strut in here like you were some badass about ready to tear someone's face off…"
"I am about ready to tear someone's face off…Yours…"
"Mine…well now…Why in the hell would I put aside a rivalry that I have been trying to get rid off for the last 16 years…when the person I am rivaled against won't put it aside either…?" Remus and Snape were so close now it was like they were touching. Alicia stood up.
"Oh come on both of you. You are both acting stupid and you know it. You both care about Alex and that's all that matters right now…We need to fix Damien up then get out of here and kick some minister butt…Man! I have been waiting so long to kick his ass…"
Dumbledore chuckled.
"Now, now Alicia, you can just storm in and tear him to pieces…"
"And why not! He definitely deserves it!"
"No one ever said he didn't…Don't you think it would be slightly unorthodox if you ran in there tore the door off its hinges then preceded to tear each of his limbs off…"
"How the hell did you know that I was going to do that! You totally ruin everything…"
"Alicia I have known you for so long…I just know what goes through your mind." He smiled at her. She flopped down onto the bed and pouted.
"Yeah and the fact that you are a legilimens has nothing to do with anything right?"
"Precisely. I think it is time for your glasses Damien…"
Three mediwizards came in the room. They looked at everyone in the room.
"I suppose you all are staying?" One of them said. They nodded. "Ma'am, I need you to step away." Alicia got up reluctatantly and went over to where Remus and Severus were standing. The mediwizards looked around the room again and shut the door to the next room with a snap.
"They were rude…I thought mediwitches and wizards had to be polite to get the job?" Alicia asked.
"They do…to get the job…no one ever said they had to be after that…"Remus replied.
Just then Draco screamed.
"What the fuck…OW! Damn it to hell!"
"Sit down boy!"
"No! I would rather walk around blind for the rest of my life then have you stick that in my eye again! AH! DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!"
"Now child sit down…you are only going to harm yourself or someone else!"
"I swear if you poke me again…why the hell are you touching down there! MY EYES ARE UP HERE!" There were a few blasts of light and the Order members all exchanged glances. Dumbledore and Remus were both amused. Alicia couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"He sounds exactly like Sirius…Its just scary!" Alicia said, jaw hanging open.
"He does…language and all…"
"I believe that Damien isn't that fond of hospitals either…" Dumbledore chortled.
"I think it is another one of those family traits…except this comes from both sides…" Alicia said. Then screaming started again this time in was one of the mediwizards.
"I THOUGHT YOU STUNED HIM!"
"I did?"
"THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN HOW HE JUST BIT ME?" Alicia started cracking up, so did Remus. Dumbledore chuckled once again and the all the Weasleys present have trouble controlling their giggles. Even Severus had a smile on his face. Then there was an explosion and one of the wizards flew through the door. He got up fast from the pile of rubble that was left. He ran out of the room. Then Draco came out of the room looking seriously pissed off. He was beet red and his fist were clenching and unclenching leaving his knuckles white. For some reason his shirt had been unbuttoned and they could all see the old scars and new wounds from last night. He had his teeth clenched and they could all tell that he was debating running after that guy and ripping each finger off one by one or if he should go back into the room he had just exited and kick the crap out of the men left in there.
"You know Damien, as amusing as this is; I really think you should calm down. All this stress can't be good for those wounds…" Remus said.
"Yeah…but the glasses look great…" One of the twins said.
"…And the whole storming out of the room pissed and sexy with your shirt open showing your battle scars…totally works for you…" The other twin replied. Draco looked as if something just dawned on him.
"Hey…I can see…Awesome! Do you really think I'm sexy George?" George nodded and winked at him. They both burst out laughing.
"How did you know that was George and not Fred?" Bill asked very shocked.
"I'm a twin too…remember…I think it has something to do with genetics…I've read a few books about it…interesting really…Can we leave now? Please?"
"I believe that would be a good idea…I have a feeling those gentlemen in the next room aren't going to be very happy when they wake up…" Dumbledore laughed and stood up.
"There was nothing gentle about them…" Draco said.
"I just want to leave this place…leave the real serious deadly life changing injuries for the hospital…" She put her arm around Draco they smiled and left Remus and Severus right behind them.
"It's going to be great when we get Alex back…hopefully…"
A/N: Ok it was long…really long. I'm talking about the story…God get your heads out of the gutter…and you better know which ones I mean…
I hope you liked it. I just realized that there is going to be a 'Reminiscing part 3'…
Yay…I am so original huh?
Well got to try and sleep now…I know it took me a long time to update but so much happened, not only in the story but also I have writers block and I rented a game that is really long and I have to beat it by Thursday so I can return it…I also started a new story…readers run at me with pitchforks…I know but I had this story stuck in my head and I was one of the nights when I couldn't think of anything to put in this story…So if you read the other one, it's battered lives and new beginnings, I worn you now it's kind of…dark…I wasn't even feeling dark at that time either. It sort of scared me…well I'm going on now…Next chapter…
