A revival of the Slytherin instincts

Unexpected Visitors

He slowly and carefully extracted himself from beneath his sleeping son. Severus walked over to his door, making sure not to make any noise. He opened the door to find two red headed menaces on the other side. He glared at them for a second, expecting them to run. Instead however, one of them glared back. "Where is our little brother?" Severus was taken aback for a second, before snarling, "I haven't the foggiest clue where that red headed brat is, why you believe I do is beyond me." The twins glare disappeared for a moment before they replaced them and stated, "Not that one. He's only our brother is blood. We are talking about our little brother Harry." Severus opens the door enough for them to step through, they do and he immediately shuts it behind them. "Since when did he become your younger brother?" One of the twins answers, "He has been our brother since the first day of his first year. Technically it isn't legal, but it will be. We are only waiting to get Percy on our side. We know we can, we just have to get him to talk to Harry." At that point all three of them look over at the noise, Harry had woken up and had fallen off the couch. Severus immediately rushes over to check on him, only for Harry to curl further into himself. Fred and George, rush between Severus and Harry shielding him from the perceived threat. "Harry, little one, you're alright. You're brothers are here and we are not going to let anyone hurt you." Harry peaks his eye up carefully, looking at the two boys, not exactly recognizing them. "I'm sorry, I did-didn't mean to be in the way. I-I can't remember how I got here actually. Uhmmm, where exactly are we, and wh-who exactly are you?" The twins turn slowly and drop to their knees, they close their eyes before opening them, a very sad emotion. Tears in their eyes, the twins smiled, "It's okay Harry, you aren't in the way. We are Fred and George. You're our younger brother, we adopted you. Just give it a few minutes and you'll remember. We promise, it'll just take a little bit." Harry uncurled himself, and looked at them. He slowly nodded his head before they each grabbed a hand. He tensed, before suddenly his head snapped back. "My name is Harry Potter, I have two older brothers, and a father. I'm not going to be hurt, not anymore. Vernon will not get me, and Voldy will leave me alone. I remember now, although that's really all I remember. Thank you Fred, George." The twins smile, as they bring him into a hug. "This is why Failsafes are important Harry." Severus stands there, in awe at the way these two Jokesters, had handled the situation before, walking towards his son and pulling him into a hug.
