Once they got over that shock they noticed that there were two large comfy chairs with the twins in them.
"Took you two long enough!"
"They were probably too busy snogging each other to worry about little old us!"
"Actually we were too busy trying to sneak out of the common room to worry about you two prats!" Ginny replied to the twins
"Language Gin Gin!" Fred said faking shock.
"What would mum think?"
"She would blame it on you two for being a bad example for her little girl."
"How could we ever forget that you had mum and especially dad wrapped around your finger!"
"Ginny we do have something to tell you about mum." George said completely serious
Did they just become serious? Harry questioned
Yes. Ginny replied worried
This is bad then isn't it?
It has to be.
"But before we do it's time we take the little firsties to our lair!"
"Lair really?" Harry asked
"When you see it you'll call it a lair too!" Fred said defending the name
Harry and Ginny were too worried to even bother arguing over the stupidity of the name so they just continued to follow the twins. They passed the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy three times and after passing it once Ginny and Harry just stopped until the twins explained themselves. They didn't have to wait long as a door appeared in front and the pair walked in after Gred and Forge.
When they walked in they were surprised by the scenery. It reminded them of their common room except in Gryffindor colors and a table full of snacks and butterbeer.
"What is this place?"
"It's our lair, were you two even listening to us before?" George asked in fake annoyance
"The room provides us with whatever we want." Fred explained
"This is the greatest thing ever!" Harry and Ginny explained at the same time
"Yes it is, however"
"We do have something to tell you two."
"It's about Mum and the headmaster."
"What is it?" Ginny asked more than worried.
"Dumbledore visited the Burrow last summer to talk to mum about Ron. He's never done that before, he also didn't know you were going to make it that year either."
"Anyway Dumbledore told mum that Harry Potter was going to be going to Hogwarts with Ron and that he would be needing our help since his relatives are muggles."
"They had a plan all figured out, when we arrived at the train station mum would ask us what platform it was and one of us would respond. Then she would say 'Packed with muggles of course!' rather loudly. We would help you find your way and put your trunk onto the train."
"Ron was suppose to go to your compartment and ask 'May I sit here? It's full everywhere else.' You two would quickly become friends. He would distract you from your studies and keep you on the path of the light apparently. We automatically saw it as Dumbledore being a manipulative old coot but Mum and Ron didn't see it that way."
"Of course they didn't factor in that Gin Gin would be going to Hogwarts, that you two would meet at Diagon Alley and that Ginny would completely corrupt you."
"I guess I'm a hero, who knows how your life could have turned out if their plan succeeded!"
"I probably would have been completely clueless about everything going on in my life."
Thanks Gin
"For now, but Mum and Dumbledore are stubborn, they won't just give up." Fred responded
"And chances are they will deal with the problem by dealing with Ginny."
I don't want you to get in trouble or hurt because of me.
Don't be such a noble git!
"Then we will just have to be a step ahead of them at all times." Ginny replied
"We can certainly try but Ginny there are certain steps they can take that we can't combat." George said looking rather grim
"Like what?" Harry asked
"They could decide to home school Ginny or even send her to another school, and since we don't have the money to pay the tuition we can't fight that."
"I have plenty of money." Harry responded with a hopeful smile
I can't accept your money Harry.
It's our money, silly.
"Harry we can't accept your money." Fred said mirroring Ginny
"Of course you can, the only reason Ginny would be forced to leave Hogwarts is because of me."
The twins looked like they wanted to argue with Harry but after what seemed like hours the twins finally nodded their heads.
"It still doesn't completely solve the problem though. Mum can do whatever she wants as your legal guardian and I doubt Dad will be able to fight Mum and Dumbledore off." George said
Should we tell them?
I guess we kind of have to but I just don't feel comfortable talking about our bond with other people.
I feel the same but I trust the twins fully.
"Actually that's not really a problem for either of us. We are considered adults duetooursoulbond." Ginny rushed through
"Sorry didn't quite get that last bit." Fred said
"Ginny and I are soul bonded which makes us both adults."
"Soul bonded? Like those story where a knight saves a princess type of stuff?" George asked
"I guess, except we've had this bond since as long as I can remember." Ginny said
"Ok but how did you keep that from everyone, Ginny? Actually now that I think about it, it makes sense. You would just randomly be happy at times and then angry at other times for no apparent reason. Somebody must know about this."
"Bill knows and the goblins know but that's it. Honestly it was easy to keep it hidden since no one really paid any attention to me most of the time." Said Ginny
I always pay attention to you.
Ginny smiled, Harry always knew how to make her feel better. He knew how to distract her from her from whatever made her angry or stressed her out.
"The only time it was actually hard to keep it a secret was at night when Harry came, that's actually how Bill figured it out."
"Why would Harry come to the Burrow at night?" George asked despite already having a strong belief as to what the answer is.
"We can't sleep without the other, we tried at first but eventually we just found it pointless." Ginny said desperately
"We don't exactly know how to respond to that, it all makes sense but at the same time it doesn't feel right to have our baby sister sharing a bed with a boy."
"Just remember that I know a lot of things that mum would just love to know." Ginny said with an evil grin
"Is sweet, innocent Gin-Gin threatening us, Forge?"
"I do believe she is Gred!"
"We're so proud!" Fred and George said at the same time, whipping away imaginary tears.
"Well I guess there isn't much that they can actually do." Fred said.
It can't be that easy though, can it?
Harry, nothing is ever easy when it comes to my mother and Dumbledore.

Lucius Malfoy was raised on the belief that you must always pick the winning side. It doesn't matter who you actually believe in but rather who you believe will win. When Voldemort came to power, he appeared to be unstoppable so Lucius became a Death Eater. He maneuvered his way into Voldemort's inner circle and was entrusted with his Diary.
Malfoy knew that the magic surrounding the Diary was tied in directly with Voldemort's life force. Since the magic still surrounded the Diary, Voldemort was somehow still alive. The way he acted after His fall would result in a very painful existence for himself and his family when Voldemort returned unless he used the Diary correctly.
Voldemort never directly told him what the Diary actually did except that it would cause the destruction of all mudbloods in Hogwarts. He would have to spend some quality time and money trying to figure out what exactly it did. Hopefully it would take out that mudblood my son was friends with. He might not have the same hatred towards mudbloods as Voldemort but he understood that if his son was friends with one when Voldemort returned his son would be a target.
He would leave Harry Potter alone; Voldemort would want to deal with him personally. Such a shame too, if he is Ravenclaw he must have taken after his mother. Despite being a Gryffindor she was a truly amazing woman and gifted with beauty, brain, and sadly bravery. She understood that being a Slytherin didn't make you evil; it just meant that you were ambitious. My ambition was to be powerful, rich, and to keep my family safe; granted I had to go down a less than savory path to do it.
It would also be splendid if the Diary could take out Ginny Weasley. He truly hated the Weasley family for what they did to his family. He could never forgive them. Molly Weasley was truly a horrendous woman; it was such a shame that she had everyone fooled. Maybe he didn't need to kill Ginny Wealey maybe he just had to turn her away from her mother. Molly Weasley's true colors might appear if her daughter publicly turned from her.

A/N: I apologize for not updating in forever but writers block has really gotten to me with this story. Over this summer I plan to go back and revamp this story. This story is just not where I want it to be yet, but it should be soon. Don't worry I will never give up on this story!
