I'm not entirely sure how this chapter will turn out… Guess I'll find out as I write. I really hope I get this right and how I wanted it! From now on I'll be jumping forwards through their life until Hogwarts so I can start the changes to the books in earnest.

I obviously don't own Harry Potter or there would be much more insanity and chaos, usual spiel.

Paradox was overly jumpy the morning of the twins' fourth birthday. They'd be heading into Diagon Alley today and she'd discovered that the Weasleys would be present. If everyone acted as they usually would, there was a high chance that the two pairs of twins would meet and start a friendship. Death was rather scared of the meeting as the Weasley parents were close to Dumbledore and this would be a perfect opportunity for Dumbledore to start his meddling. The twins themselves were happily oblivious to the tension as they scrambled to get ready for their birthday trip out. As they'd grown older, their bond had only grown stronger. They did everything together, and were pranking geniuses. They'd even caught Paradox, goddess of chaos herself. There was a noticeable shift in personalities compared to the original timeline. Tom was the more outgoing, rash one prone to impatience while Harry was the planner out of the two. They both had cunning in spades and their innocent stares were unrivalled in perfection. At that moment they were swapping coats and scarves, Harry was now dressed in Tom's outdoor clothes and vice versa. With that done they turned grinning faces up at their adopted mum.

"Can we…"

"…go now!"

They said, their twin speak working perfectly. Paradox groaned, she really wished that particular bit of accidental magic hadn't been permanent. It had happened a few months ago, Harry and Tom had been talking about how useful wordless communication could be when, lo and behold, a telepathic link formed. Sometimes having two extremely powerful wizards for children was too much. She knew it formed naturally for some born magical twins, but never blood joined ones. Then again, her sons had always proved the impossible possible. She was pulled from her thoughts by a loud chorus of;

"Mum!"

"Alright, Alright! We're going! Hold on to my hands now. Death, grab my shoulder, I'm not doing this alone and everyone else is busy."

With a sigh Death dragged himself across the room and placed his hand lightly on his twins shoulder. This was going to be a long day, he could already tell.

The next moment the small family appeared in Diagon Alley and moved off towards the bank.

"Harry, Tom, you stay close to us and make sure you don't wander off. And no pranking innocent bystanders."

"Mum! Would we…"

"…Really do that? Don't you…"

"….Trust us…"

"At all?"

Paradox just stared at them silently. Her sons were sweet, kind, boys with eidetic memories, genius levels of intelligence and more magic than some adult wizards. So yes, she trusted them. She was also realistic.

At this point they reached the bank in time to hear the distinctive voice of Molly Weasley shouting

"Fred! George! Leave your brothers teddy bear alone! You will not be turning it into anything. Do you hear me!"

Harry and Tom's attention was instantly arrested.

"Mum! They sound like fun! Can we meet them, can we?"

They pleaded in sinc.

Paradox simply grinned and started making her way towards the army of red heads that were clearly there to complete their Hogwarts shopping. Upon reaching them, Paradox tapped Molly's shoulder. Molly spun around, looking extremely flustered.

"Hello, you must be Mrs. Weasley. I'm Pandora Wild-Black and my sons wanted to make the acquaintance of your twins. They're pranksters you see and a complete nightmare. From the sound of things they're a younger version of your twins."

Molly's face instantly softened as she caught sight of Harry and Tom peering around Paradox's legs.

"They are adorable children. They even have your eyes."

Paradox laughed at that.

"They're not biologically mine although I'm told that they are definitely my children in terms of behaviour. I truly think that twin accidental magic is the worst possible thing imaginable. I'm lucky my Mastery gave me the skills to deal with these two monkeys."

Molly looked intrigued by this statement and promptly asked what her mastery was in.

"Oh, I have an Australian Mastery in obscure magics and anomalies. Which, when you have two magically powerful children is very useful."

Molly at this point seemed ready to burst with excitement.

"Oh, I'm so glad I met you, the twins are impossible and I'm always scared that they'll do something or have done something dangerous."

Paradox smiled kindly at the harried mother.

"If you want I can check them over now before taking them with me for my boys' birthday celebration. I think they'll get on like a house on fire."

Molly beamed at that before looking around for Fred and George. They were currently occupied in a serious discussion over pranks with Harry and Tom.

Once they had been successfully disengaged and returned to stand in front of Paradox, Paradox bent down and withdrew her 'wand'. It was really just a piece of polished wood, Paradox had no need for a wand, and her power was so vast that she'd burn out any wand she tried. After a few minutes of careful study, she announced;

"Well, there's the expected telepathic link that's been present since birth. Mine formed their own through accidental magic, which was far more worrying. They seem completely healthy, however…"

She then moved to the twin on the right and started casting spells at a rapid rate.

"Which twin's body are you?"

She asked the nervous looking child. At the odd question, the twins seemed to relax with looks of pure relief on their faces.

"Fred's body."

Paradox frowned at that.

"Yes… Fred's body, George's soul. That's certainly a new one."

Molly at this point was looking decidedly panicked.

"What does that mean?!"

She shrieked.

"It's means,"

Paradox murmured distractedly as she continued waving her wand in complex patterns over the pair of six year olds.

"That these two somehow switched bodies. I've encountered accidental telepathy, sleeping spells, animation, self-transfiguration, apparition and large scale levitation of objects, but never this. That is not a challenge."

She suddenly said sternly over her shoulder to her own twins.

"Now, if I combined that spell with that chant and added that movement then… yes. That would work."

And with that she abruptly stood, pointed her wand and started a very complex chant. What everyone didn't know is that she was making up nonsense to hide the fact that she was just using her powers as a god. Soon enough, there was a flash of light and the Weasley twins stumbled slightly before righting themselves. The people around were staring at the blatant display of powerful and complex magic in the middle of the wizarding bank. The Goblins just ignored the whole thing as they were not only used to Paradox's peculiarities, but was also one of the few races who instinctively recognised her god status.

"There you go, Molly. I added a component to the spell that should keep them from repeating the stunt in the future."

Molly Weasley sobbed slightly before pulling the younger woman into a bone-crushing hug.

"Thank you! She mumbled incoherently. None of us would have realised. What if they'd been stuck like that?"

Paradox merely smiled and patted the distraught mother on the back, noticing the looks of hero worship she was getting from the older sons in the family who could understand what had just happened. Bill looked positively reverent.

"Anyway, Harry and Tom will be wanting to explore the Alley. When should I bring Fred and George back to you?"

Molly pulled back, sniffing and dabbing at her eyes with her sleeve.

"Oh, you can just floo back to the Burrow with them if you want. I'd love you to meet Arthur."

Paradox grinned and inclined her head at that.

"I'll do that then. Come on you group of troublemakers!"

And with that she led her party of four children back out of the bank. Death materialising back at her side now that the first meeting with these new people was out of the way.

"I see you've picked up the strays you were after."

"I see you successfully avoided the over-affectionate Molly Weasley."

Paradox retorted.

It was a accepted fact that Death couldn't stand physical affection unless it was from Paradox or the twins. Fred and George, who chose that moment to each tackle one of Deaths legs, sending him sprawling and the rest of the party into gales of laughter, ignored this fact. His mock glare and pout only made them laugh harder. The miracle of the day happened when Death seemed to accept Fred and George into his family group and proceeded to get his revenge by tickling the two mercilessly. Eventually, the party was able to continue their journey along the Alley. The Weasley twins dragged them all into Quality Quiditch Supplies to admire the brooms. Harry and Tom were decidedly unimpressed.

"Why bother…"

"…with a broom…"

"…It's far more fun…"

"…To fly without one."

This led to the Weasley twins interrogating the Black twins about their flying endeavours. Which moved on to all their accidental magic on both sets of twins' parts. Which led to pranking. Which led to all four of them wearing the devious smirks associated with serious prank planning. This caused Paradox and Death to consider, with a sinking feeling, that introducing the twins was possibly not the best idea in the world.

They were right. By the end of the day, Paradox had been ambushed by a set of robes, Death had had his shoelaces tied together, both their butter beers at lunch time had come alive and attacked their faces and a flock of birds had appeared out of thin air and chased them down the street. Luckily Paradox found the whole thing utterly brilliant while Fred and George enjoyed learning how to use their magic to aid in pranking. Death felt sorry for the rest of the Weasley family when he noticed this.

Far too soon for all involved, the day was over and it was time for Paradox to take the twins home. Death had already disappeared with her own two boys. So without missing a beat she scooped up the two six year old red heads, got one of them to throw in the floo powder, stepped into the emerald flames and shouted

"The Burrow!"

Before spinning away with her two young charges. The next minute she was stepping out of the fireplace into the Burrows welcoming kitchen and setting down her passengers among the five other redheaded children that decorated the warm room. Molly was stood at the stove stirring a pot of stew while the smell of fresh bread wafted from the oven.

"Oh! Hello Pandora dear, sit down at the table, Arthur will be home in a minute."

Grinning, Paradox collapsed into a free chair opposite Bill and waved at the two Hogwarts students sitting opposite her. Bill immediately started asking questions.

"Is your Mastery similar to curse breaking? What's it like? Is it difficult? Would I make a good curse breaker do you think?"

Paradox laughed at the eager questions coming from the thirteen-year-old sitting in front of her.

"Yes, it is similar in a way to curse breaking but it's far more involved. Curse breaking is simply where you are taught all about the different known curses out there, how to recognise and then counter them. What I do focuses entirely on unknown or lost magics and also one off or usually impossible magical happenings, normally created through accidental or uncontrolled magic. It's very difficult as I never know what I'll come across next, and if it's possibly harmful I need to be able to design a counter for it as soon as I can. I think, judging by the levels of magic I can sense from you and your obvious enthusiasm that you'd make a great curse breaker."

Bill gave her an ear splitting grin at that, but before he could say anything else the fire flared again before depositing Mr Weasley on the hearthrug. The next few minutes was a whirl of greetings and explanations and before too long Paradox found herself being thanked profusely by Mr Weasley as well as repetitions of thanks from Mrs Weasley.

She spent a few more minutes with them before making her goodbyes, hugging the twins, Bill and Mrs Weasley and shaking hands with Mr Weasley. Then she made her escape. The day had gone even better than planned.

Later that night, Dumbledore heard from his acquaintances that the Weasleys had been seen with that disruption 'Pandora Wild-Black and Harry. Immediately he flooed over to the Burrow to find out everything he could about this annoyance that had so easily destroyed all his carefully laid plans. He arrived to find Molly and Arthur sitting at the table with mugs of tea set in front of them.

"Oh, hello Albus! What brings you here?"

"Hello Molly. I heard you had quite the encounter in Diagon Alley today."

Dumbledore exclaimed brightly, twinkle turned up to full blast.

Molly immediately started gushing.

"Oh yes, the most delightful young woman imaginable! She helped Fred and George as they'd somehow switched bodies. It was so wonderful of her. And then she kindly took the twins for the whole day and even enjoyed their pranks! And then she was so nice to Bill when she brought the twins home. I've never met such a lovely, collected mother."

Dumbledore's twinkle had gradually lessened the more Molly talked as he realised that there was no way he was getting the Weasley's support in his dislike of the Wild-Black siblings.

"I see. I admit, my interest in her stems from her son."

"Oh, which one? They're such delightful little twins even if they aren't quite identical."

The twinkle completely vanished at that as Dumbledore's mind worked furiously.

'Twins? What does that mean? I knew she had another boy besides Harry but I hadn't realised they were being raised as twins. This complicates things even further. Better withdraw for now.'

Out loud he said,

"How wonderful. I look forward to seeing them at Hogwarts. Alas, I cannot stay any longer and must return to preparing for the new school year."

And with that, he swept through the floo and back to his office, mind churning with ideas and plans on how to gain control over Harry when he inevitably came to Hogwarts.

A/N TA DA! Finally introduced the Weasleys! Sorry it's been a while, school's picking up as exams are in May… Off to Uni to study English next year!
