No Warnings

Chapter 5: Over the Horizon Part II

Harry was taken aback by their unwavering resolve. Harry knew instantly that the Weasley twins would become two of the most important people in his life. Harry knew that they would be among his greatest allies.

"What do you know about the Dark Lord?" Harry asked as he rummaged through the cabinets of the bathroom.

"Other than the fact that he has been missing for almost five years-" George started.

"-and that he supports the separation of wizarding kind from Muggles," Fred spat at the word Muggle, and the twins continued together.

"And he is the most powerful wizard in the world."

Neither of the twins were convinced of Harry's alliance. They knew that the Potter family, like theirs, was considered a Light family. They also knew that the Potter's had something to do with the Dark Lord's disappearance. All they knew was that after the attack on Hogwarts five years ago Voldemort vanished. Their Mum and Dad had said something about Harry being attacked while his parents were away and had been injured and that someone had died. Both twins thought that this was very suspicious.

"I'm sure you didn't know that I am responsible for the Dark Lord's disappearance," the green eyed boy said. Both twins visibly narrowed their eyes. There was no way this kid could have anything to do with the Dark Lord. Fred moved to hit Harry, but the boy did something a little unusual. Harry had found what he was looking for in the cabinets. It was a first-aid kit. The dark haired boy started pulling out bandages and putting them on.

"What are you doing?" George asked, and was tempted to start bandaging the younger boy as well.

"There is this prophesy that the Dark Lord heard about and he thought it was talking about me. It said something about me being powerful enough to kill him." Harry snorted. "No on can kill the Dark Lord. Anyway, he didn't want to risk having a potential powerful enemy and tried to kill me when I was a baby.

"I'm sure he would have succeeded, but he realized that I would be an ally, not an enemy, and spared my life. Peter Pettigrew wasn't so lucky. Do you two know what a Horcrux is?" Harry asked suddenly. George looked at Fred, who shrugged a no.

"Well, a Horcrux is an object that hides a person's soul inside of it. In an attempt to create one his magic reacted to mine and it caused him to turn me into a Horcrux." Harry pointed to his scar. Fred was in front of Harry in record time and tried to touch the lightening bolt shaped scar. His hand was immediately smacked away. "I don't like anyone touching it!"

Fred stepped away in fear. The five year old looked as if he could kill. Fred stalked forward angrily. There was no way he could believe such a story. This Potter kid had to be lying.

"Prove it!" George said suddenly. "We met the Dark Lord before he disappeared. He told us something, something only we know. If you know it then we'll believe you."

George was no fool. He would never trust anything said from a Light wizard's mouth, and how could Harry Potter not be Light? Both of his parents were fighting in the war against the Dark Lord. Sure his uncles, Fabian and Gideon, had fought in the war as well, but Harry didn't go through what he had. Harry hadn't felt what he had. Harry hadn't been saved by the Dark Lord and had no obligation to him. Just to be sure though, George wanted proof that Harry Potter really didn't know anything.

A few moments passed, with Harry deep in thought. Fred and George could see Harry's expression change as he thought. Like he was having a conversation with something they couldn't see. Finally, after Harry put a band-aid across the bridge of his nose, he looked up at the miffed twins.

"He told you to find him," the twins looked at Harry with astonishment. "Are you really going to take the Ma-"

Harry suddenly stopped talking when there was a knock at the door. The green eyed boy answered the door. Lily looked down on the boy shocked.

"What happened, Harry?" Lily shot a glance at the twins. She no doubt thought that they were a bad influence.

"We were playing when he fell outside. We thought he needed medical treatment." George said quickly.

"You should have seen it, Mrs. Potter! There was blood everywhere!" Fred said with almost none of his amusement shining through. Lily looked over her son thoroughly. "Don't worry, Mrs. Potter, we patched him up real good!"

Lily would have had the three boys go back outside, but Harry said that they came inside so that they could get snacks for everyone. Lily had smiled and had the three bring everyone little sandwiches and fruit. Which the other children appreciated. Fred and George were hard pressed to talk to Harry on his own. Neville seemed to have latched himself onto him, and that caused Ron to latch onto him as well.

Fred had gotten so irritated by the fact that everyone was trying to get Harry's attention, that Fred vowed to prank all of them. George was on board for that, but the nagging feeling that Harry wasn't lying kept coming back. There was something about him that reminded him that Halloween. It definitely wasn't the way he looked. Harry looked nothing like the Dark Lord. Maybe it was the way Harry seemed too intelligent for his age. Ron certainly didn't talk the way Harry did, with confidence and knowledge. It was noon by the time they were able to get Harry away from everyone.

"Do you guys wanna play hide and seek?" Harry asked. Everyone was excited for the game, at least the younger children were. "Alright, Susan you be it, because you're the best finder!" Susan smile broadly, and Neville groaned.

The twins followed Harry. There was a stairwell next to the room that the adults were having their meeting in. Harry opened a small door that looked like he could barely fit into, but the five year old crawled into it. Fred followed immediately. George was surprised that he could fit. He was even more surprised when he managed to squeeze through; it was like the door was just large enough to get through. Fred and George found themselves in a rather decent sized room.

"If you want more proof, then you'll want to hear what the adults are talking about," Harry said pointing to a large vent. Voices could be heard from the other side. The twins grinned, they really loved eavesdropping.
