Reckless Abandon

Twins Meet The Twins

There was a warm flash of green, the next thing that happened was a loud crash and the sound of things tumbling as Theo and Twila landed in a heap of things that Mr. Borgin has piled in and around his fire place.

" Mr. Borgin!! We talked about this last time, I used your floo. I know you are running out of room for merchandise but you have to stop piling things in and around it. Or I will keep breaking stuff."

Mr. Borgin popped his head around the corner looking at Twila and Theo as they untangled themselves from each other. Twila frequently came here with Lord Tom, she also used the floo frequently enough when she needed to floo close to Diagon Alley, but wanted to go unnoticed. Twila never felt very comfortable in large groups of people since she had no awareness of when she will get a vision.

"I do apologize, young Lord and Lady Nott. I just got a new shipment of books in and I just simply haven't had the time to make a homes for them in the shop yet. I wasn't expecting you. Does your father know you are here. Do I need to make your father, or...other guardians aware that you are here?"

Theo let out a long sigh as he stood up dusting his clothes off. Looking over to Twila dusting her shoulder and hair of soot.

"No need Mr. Borgin, I'm sure our father and other guardians will be behind us shortly. My sister got in a bit of a rush and flooed without our parent being quite ready. But they should be behind us shortly."

Twila huffed at her brother answer, turning on her heels and started making her way out of the door. Heading her way down the road of Knockturn Alley towards Diagon Alley. Making sure to keep her head held high and keeping the air of the nobility that she was. She already knew she was untouchable, no one would dare mess with the Nott twins in fear of incuring the wrath of Lord Tom.

Twila didn't walk very far at all until she heard her brothers steps starting match her own. Until they finally made it to the crowded streets of Diagon Alley. It was filled to the brim with students and their parents getting the supplies that were needed for the up and coming school year.

She stopped walking, overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. Her parents had kept her safe by keeping her away from crowds of people. Not wanting to overwhelming her sense and abilities.

"Brother, I...I feel like this is a mistake. There are just so many people. Hogwarts is going to be like this too isnt it?" Twila said in a whisper to Theo her fingers intertwining with his. In a silent plea of strength.

"Yes, that's why father and our Lord have been taking so many steps to protect you from Dumbledore and people who would use you and your gift for selfish reasons. Not everyone is as pure and kind as you dear sister."

Twila swallowed and nodded but then took a step forward and started towards the small Zonko's pop up shop by Gringotts. As they approached, Theo couldn't help but notice two read heads looking at the goods. But as they looked they were leaned in towards each whispering. While writing into a little notebook.

Twila smiled, "I'm glad to know that Theo, and I wont be the only twins at Hogwarts. I was afraid that we were and anomaly among the purebloods."

The two identical red heads whipped their heads around and looking at Twila. They were startled that anyone would talk to them so suddenly.

"Well, Well, Well Freddy look at this two high and mighty Sacred Twenty Eight twins talking to little ol' us." he said with a small grimace

"you know you don't have to worry about us. We...may believe in some aspect of our pure blood up bringing. But we aren't supremist. You see, I know we are going to be friends. Really the best of friends."

Fred and George looked at her oddly as she talked. Theo put his hand on his sisters shoulder. "You see what my sister here is trying to say is...she's special. She just knew that we would meet." Theodore stepped up almost in front of Twila.

     " Theodore Nott, but my friends call me Theo. This is my sister, Twila Nott."

    Theodore said with pride in his voice as he held his hand out to the twins. Waiting for one of them to take his outstretched hand. As a symbol of peace between them. Though he was really hoping their father didn't have a heart attack that they were talking to Weasleys.

    The twins looked down Theos hand a identical tilt to their head. But the twin on the right grabbed his hand a shook it.

   "Names Fred Weasley, this here is George. I take it you both will be first years coming up soon. We got a brother who a first year too. We're both Gryfinndor. Maybe, just maybe you two will be sorted with us lions. Because it took some bloody guts for you two to talk to us. Especially since most Purebloods call our family, blood traitors"

Twila smiled sweetly "You don't have to worry about that. You two are brilliant and loyal wizards. I have the utmost faith that we will be the best of friends"

Fred and George looked at each other the George spoke up. "You talk as if you know us...it's a little creepy you know that?"

Twila opened her mouth to reply when she felt a large hand on her shoulder. Turning her head to see who was touching her.

"My littlest star, you've been rather naughty. Running off with put us. To make...these friends." Lord Tom said ever so calmly though, the air about him was ferocious.

"I thought we talked about this Twila. You can't run off without telling me. You could have been hurt. Looks like you made quite a mess coming out of the floo." He said as he gently turned Twila to face him. Sliding his eyes over to Theo and gave him a polite nod acknowledging that he watched over his sister.

" Oh! Lord Tom, it's been a while. How was your business trip....oh never mind we can talk about that later. I had to meet them. They are soul bound twins like me and Theo. But they also...help me in the future in a very fragile time" Twila said with a soft whisper near Toms ear as she hugged him.

"Don't worry. They can be trusted...maybe not the whole family. But they can." Twila said with a small knowing smile

Twila turned to the twins " Well it looks like I have to go now. My family has caught up with us to go shopping. But please say hi, while we are at school even if we don't get sorted into the same house."

Twila then turned holding Lord Toms hand. As they began to walk away,  Theo walking two paces behind to allow Lord Riddle to talk to Twila.

" Are you mad at me Uncle Tom?" She asked barely above a whisper.

"I know I shouldn't have ran off that it wasn't safe. But I was afraid once everyone found out I was going to talk Weasleys that you wouldn't let me." Twila said as she looked at their feet as they walked.

"Mad isn't the correct word here, my little star. Worried, you know what will happen to you if people find out about your abilities. What HE would do to be able to have someone with your abilities." Tom said with distaste on his tongue.

"Next time little star tell your God Father as least, luckily little Theo was able to chase you into the floo. But Antonin is more likely to let you be more reckless then your father. You also know I will let you do what ever you want. Especially when it comes to your visions unless it sacrifices your safety....like what you did today my dear"
