The Twins Who Lived

Diagon Alley Pt.2

"Mr. Rosier, Ms. McKinnon, Ms. Macdonald, Mr. Crouch and Mr. Pettigrew are dead, Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom are members of the Janice Thackeray long term patients unit, Mr. Lupin can not gain custody of you, Mr. Black and Mrs.Lestrange are in Azkaban " Griphook stated

"WHAT!?!" The said people exclaimed while there friends were either in shock or crying "why am I in Azkaban " sirius asked "what happened?" Lily asked, "just watch" dahlia mumbled burrowing into her mate

"And what of Mrs.Tonks, Mr.Snape or Mrs.Malfoy?" Dahlia asked before going ridged staring unblankly at the wall, Harry didn't seem shock just turned to his sister and started running his hand through her hair.

"What's wrong!?" "What's happening?!" "Is she ok?!" The frantic parents asked "you'll see" dahlia said shuddering at the memory

Dahlia suddenly gasped as tears welled up in her eyes "we stay with the dursleys till our fourth year " she said her tone booking no argument, "anyway to conteract?" Harry asked knowing his sister knew what he meant "don't mention it at all, act ordinary" she responded slowly calming down "Your a Videns mortem et tempora mala" Griphook said in shocked awe "a seer of death and bad times" he clarified seeing the confused looks getting a nod in return "yes, I can see how a person dies if it happens in my lifetime and if I know them, or I'll see the worst moment of their life" dahlia explained.

Shocked everyone turned to the girl "Don't ask me what I saw, no one should ever see family like that" was all dahlia said and they understood, that didn't help the bad feeling welling up in the three individuals chest, regardless of the consequences they would have taken them, not leave them in that hell hole.

"Normally you gain Lordship or Ladyship upon your 17th birthday but since you are the last of your line, it'll be your 15th, you do have access to the heir vaults and the journals of your parents as well as their wedding rings" Griphook explained, Dahlia wore their dad's (james) wedding band while harry wore their papa's (regulus) wedding band, both wore their mother's ring after griphook duplicated the ring "here is your cards, may your gold ever flow" Griphook stated after finishing with the heir rings "and may your enemies cower at your feet" the twins returned before leaving the bank and entering diagon alley.

"Do you still wear them?" James asked, the twins each showed a necklace from around their necks both glinting in the light "never take it off" harry said , the parents smiled at that happy that in some way they never left their kids.

"The only things we can do would be a trunk and the book store" harry said " and cloaks remember what Griphook said about the other alley " Dahlia said

"Not Knockturn alley!" Regulus exclaimed, dahlia was getting overwhelmed with all the talking, and when she gets overwhelmed her hair changes, it was no surprise when everyone stopped talking turning to see the bright pink hair that was once black "A metamorphmagus " the blacks all said in an awed tone, the gift was thought to have gone extinct "we're well aware the alley is considered dark but we're both dark by nature" harry said "well more a grayish dark as light spells work for us" dahlia added "and only place to learn about our inheritances was in knockturn since diagon alley stopped carrying books on creature inheritances a decade before" dahlia added. Everyone realized the twins were right, realizing even with out the inheritance they'd still be grey at the least considering just which houses they were heirs to, "I don't like you going with out an adult" lily settled on, accepting the knowledge of what magic her children's core's leaned to.

Both headed to Madam Malkin's and quickly purchased two cloaks before leaving to enter a trunk stop, "look at this one hazza" Dahlia said pointing to a 5 compartment trunk "Potion Lab, Library, Apartment, a school compartment and a wardrobe" harry read off the list "we'll never be able to hide this from vernon" harry whispered, dahlia just pointed to a different part and he immediately understood his twins excitement "shrink with the tap of a wand, weightless, muggle repellent" harry read the list gaining a matching grin as his twin "we'll take two of the 5- Compartment trunks, one in Yellow with black accents, the gems will be Rubies and the stitching I want H.J.R.P.B in gold" harry said "the other In Blue with Silver accents, Emeralds and D.L.L.B.P in bronze stitching " dahlia spoke politely "would you like a password to be set as well?" The clerk asked rughting it all down "yes" the twins said at once.

"Thank merlin they both have yours and lily's brains reg" Narcissa said getting an offended gasp from james "I have to agree with narcissa on this one " remus said as james whirled around to face him "how could you moons, that hurts, and to think I named you godfather " James said wiping away nonexistent tears , remus just rolled his eyes used to the bispeckled boy's antics.

20 minutes later and Ten galleons less the twins left heading straight for the book store, the twins decided to divide and conquer each talking on half of the store grabbing which ever books caught their eye or what their twin would like being careful not to grab anything on the list, dahlia was in the section looking for wizarding culture when she bumped into a girl "terribly sorry didn't look where I was going" she said turning to see a girl with bushy hair "it was my fault as well, I didn't see where I was going either" the other girl apologized "Hermione Granger " the girl introduced "Dahlia Black-Potter" she returned "need any help, this is my fifth time in the store" Hermione offered, dahlia ignored the know it all tone she used knowing it was out of having no friends then wishing to be rude.

"You always did know " Hermione said with a smile "of course, I have to know what's wrong with my sisters at all times, The boys are utterly rubbish at it " I said adding the last part in a teasing tone laughing with the girls at the mixture of pouts and glares, the parents watched happy to see their children have such great friends.

"Yes, I was looking for books on the traditions and custom's of the wizarding world and I can't seem to find it " dahlia said a little frustrated, "no, sadly not" Hermione returned "I know that Hogwarts celebrates Christmas, Halloween and that such but I don't understand why they'd want to " dahlia explained

"What do you mean doe?" Regulus asked, "what else would we celebrate?" Asked a random person, getting annoyed looks from many purebloods
