When James had come by in the middle of the week during his lunch hour to give Harry the book about the family history Harry could tell something was wrong. He hadn't known what, but something had happened. Then James spoke and Harry could read between the lines.

"Hey so change of plans for this weekend. I'm thinking of just bringing Charlie and Ariel with me instead of everyone all at once. Make small introductions over time rather than one big one. When we're all together it can be a bit overwhelming." James told him

"That's fine I don't like large crowds anyway especially when I don't know anyone besides one or two people. So that works out." Harry said and though that was true, he could tell something was not being said.

"Good. So, any recommendations?"

"Well there are a few places in Ballycastle, but since it'll be mostly teenagers and you there's a Ballycastle Bats themed pub near the shop and pitch we could go to. They don't play this weekend so it won't be as busy as it normally is, you should see it during a game day."

"Sounds like a plan. Well I need to get back to Hogwarts before classes begin again, but I will see you this Saturday at one okay?"

"Okay."

When Saturday finally arrived Harry was nervous, but also a little excited. He had always wanted to know his birth family, now that he knew he had a twin brother he was excited to meet him as well as his younger sister. He was only a few minutes late when he entered the pub looking around for James, but before he found him he was met with two different, but complimentary scents that made his inner Omega perk up.

Take a deep breath in he could recognize one scent had the familiar Alpha Musk to it along with a vanilla and woodsy scent combination. There were other underlining to the scent of course, but those three stood out the most. The second scent was empty in a way regular human scents were, but it had a hint of dog to it like an animagus. It also had a muted tobacco and leather scent with something floral.

Looking around the pub for the owners of the scents he found them in the back corner. They both seemed tense, one more so than the other. Then the long haired one stood up and Harry was preparing himself to meet the eyes of one of his mates for the first time. He took just a small step towards the group one for his staring to be interrupted by James suddenly standing there.

"Hey everything okay?" James asked turning to look where Harry was staring, but Harry quickly grabbed his arm and laced it with his.

"Of course I just got distracted. Where are we sitting?" Harry asked

"This way." James led him to the opposite side of the pub where a teen boy and girl were sitting.

The boy and he shared many similar features, but they were also obviously very different in looks. Charlie's hair was cut short, barely enough there for his fingers to go through when he ran them through it whereas Harry's hair fell just above his shoulders in a shaggy style cut that framed his face. Charlie had brown eyes behind full-rimmed square glasses while Harry had green eyes behind rimless round glasses. There were minor differences as well, Charlie had light dusting of freckles over the bridge of his nose and his hair wasn't as black as Harry's. Harry had more pronounced bone structure compared to Charlie and he had his lightning strike scar on his forehead whereas Charlie didn't.

"Definitely Fraternal twins." Charlie said, making Harry laugh nodding.

"Yeah."

"You two looked more similar as babies." James said amused as he looked at the two of them.'

"I'm Charlie and this is Ariel. She's not allowed to date until she's twenty." Charlie said

"I thought we agreed on twenty five." James said
