Never have I written a whole Harry Potter story, but I thought I'd have a crack at it. I hope I do this story justice. It's an amazing series, and I recommend both the stories and the movies. Srsly. JK Rowling is the epitome of badassery, and I bow to her writing skills. That is all.
This story takes place after the war
Excuse me?
Dylan reclined on the arm of the chair I was sitting in, and wrapped an arm around my shoulders, and pulled me to his side, and glanced down at me, with a sad smile on his face.
"Before you get upset, let us explain, okay, Widget?"
Hesitantly I nodded, completely at a loss as to what was going on. I turned my attentions to Jason, who had stood up, and left to room.
My voice was reserved and quiet as I asked, "Where's he going?"
"Don't worry about that right now. We need to talk."
For some reason, the foreboding tone he used set me completely on edge, and my entire body froze in anticipation of what was going to come from his lips next.
"Jase and I.. We're not exactly normal."
I cocked my head to the side, a wondering expression on my face, and he continued, "We're not human. Like you, we're elves."
There was a brief, pregnant pause, and I broke it with my manic laughter. It took a while before I could breathe properly, and when I calmed down, I choked out, "That's a good one, Dyl. Seriously, wow."
His face was grave and serious, more so than I had ever seen him, and I had to admit, this was probably the only time that he was ever serious with me. There was a darkness that had crept into his eyes while I had been laughing, and his lips had thinned out into a straight line.
"I'm not joking, Evelyn."
Shit.
Double shit.
He used my full name. He never uses my full name. nobody used 'Evelyn' against me. It's just something that's never happened. Well, unless I had done something wrong.
"So I'm Evelyn now? Do you really expect me to believe you, Dylan?"
I felt the atmosphere spark with life as I spoke, and a thin spiel of electricity fed through the air around us.
"Come on, Evie.. Please, just.. Okay, fine. Watch. Then make your decision."
He released his hold on my body, and stood a few feet away from me. I saw Jason's shadow appear as it fell over Dylan's form, and he sharply spat out, "Not like this, Raphael!"
Who, now?
Dylan glanced at him, winked, cheekily, and clicked his fingers. It took all but a moment before I felt a whoosh of something brush through my very soul. I blinked numerous times, to clear the blur that fell into my eyes, and I clenched my eyes shut in apprehension. There was something going on; I couldn't breathe without a crushing weight against my chest.
Jason's voice rang out, strongly in the silence of the room, and he ordered, "Open your eyes. This is what we normally look like, Squirt."
Cautiously, I cracked open one eye, and what met my gaze was something that not even I could have imagined. Both boys, no men, that stood before me had changed exponentially. Dylan's tresses used to be bouncy and full to the brim of golden tendrils, and now it was shaggy, wispy and dark brown, paired with a stubble-clad chin and piercing green eyes. He was the same height as usual, grazing 6 foot 5, and broader than a brick wall.
Jason, who had always been the shorter one, was now the same height as Dylan, and his hair had grown out a little longer, and his skin far more tanned and healthy-looking. His jaw line was more defined and his shirt was tighter across his torso, as he was just as broad as Dylan, and stronger than before hand.
My mind caught up with my body, and I sent myself hurtling backwards off of the sofa, landing crudely on my ass, and the resounding laughter of those two asshole twins boomed through the comfortable living room. After the got themselves together, they scampered over to me and tried to help me to my feet, however I shook them off, making my own way up.
I looked at them both in the eyes, those painfully familiar eyes, and I couldn't help but wince as the cool, crushing weight pressed down on my heart. They had lied to me. Out of everyone in the entire world, they had lied. And that hurt the most. More than any kind of betrayal they could have completed, they lied.
My voice was shaking and unsteady as I enquired, "What exactly are you?"
They shared a meaningful yet fleeting look, and Dylan began by stating, "We're elves. I already told you that, Widget."
I shook my head, a little bit agitated, and replied, heatedly, "That's not what I meant and you know it!"
Dylan flinched minutely, and Jason refused to meet my eyes. I had been too focused on what was happening to them that I disregarded the parchment held tightly in his palm.
I pointed at it, and asked, "What's that?"
He glanced down, and he replied, "This is a contract, between our parents," and at my confused expression, "No, not the Kendall's, but your real parents."
Time stopped. The blood in my veins froze and, in contrast to this, my pulse seemed to skyrocket.
That was the only way I could describe the feeling that washed over me at those words. They knew my real parents? Don't get me wrong, I loved my mom and dad, more than life itself, but what kind of person would I be if I weren't even a little bit interested in the people who actually brought me into this world? Especially considering I hadn't even ever seen a photograph of them. Did my mother have my hair? Did I take my fathers eye colour? Who did I look more like? Who did I act more like? All of these questions that I had locked away deep in the recesses of my mind were bubbling up inside of me. I tried to lock these feelings away, deep in my heart, because I knew asking about it upset my mother, more so than my father.
I stared at him, dead in his frosty azure orbs, and spoke the words that, even I knew, would change my life forever.
"Let me see it, Jason."
I know some people are confused as to why I've let her talk so openly about her situation with Jason and Dylan, however, empathize for a moment.
Who would you go to, in this situation? Or any situation like this?
I hope you'll understand more now.
Thank you, have a good day, guys!
