The Twins Who Lived

Hogwarts Express

The rest of Summer passed in a Blur, the Children learned everything they needed from the Grimoires, Lilith often met Hermione at Flourish and Blotts or Floreen's Ice cream Parlor with Harry. Both twins stayed in touch with Draco, wishing to keep connected to their cousin. The twins stepped out of the room, they looked much better, healthy, more filled out, the calendar nearby showed September 1st.

Everyone stared at the twins, happy to see them finally look how they should have all along.

"Bye tom!" The twins waved as they stepped onto the knight bus, their time at the inn had made Tom more like a Grandfather to them. "Bye Harry, Dahlia! Be good! Be sure to write"  Tom waved, smiling fondly as the knight bus zoomed away. "Think they'll be okay?" Dahlia asked worried, They had decided to send Nyx and Hedwig ahead to meet them at the school "they'll be okay lia, their both very smart. Besides Both Hedwig and Nyx would be very very offended with us for doubting them" Harry said, causing Dahlia to laugh in agreement. They got off in front of King's Cross Station, Hermes shrank wrapping around Dahlia's finger, Apollo tucked himself under Harry's shirt.

"Why are they doing that?" Marlene asked confused "snakes are very unusual pets in the muggle world especially accompanied by two children. It was better to hide them then to risk dealing with any trouble" Harry explained.

They entered the Station, heading to the Entrance, thanks to Kreacher's instructions, when they heard a woman speaking loudly "Packed With Muggles Every Year" the red head said, the twins immediately looked over seeing a woman walking with 5 kids.

"Before anyone starts about her not using the floo. Or about her threatening secrecy. Most muggleborns or Muggle raised are not told how to get through the barrier, She does that so any lost muggleborns could follow her to the entrance" Dahlia said sharply. Harry groaned, hiding his face as he realized what was coming, Dahlia smirked, amused "I so love this memory" She teased, thoroughly enjoying how red Her brother got "You weren't much better Lia" he muttered, trying to save face.

Dahlia noticed as Harry froze on the only girl among the children, standing right next to her mother. Harry stared, the air shifted around him, something clicking into place, his mind was a loop Meet, Protect, keep Happy, over and over again in his head. Dahlia watched her brother fall deep in real time, happy her brother found his one, she thought about it before a mischievous smile spread across her face, what kind of sister would she be if she didn't make sure they met. She grabbed his hand and began dragging him to the group "Wait, what are you doi-" Harry snapped out of his daze, his question trailing off as they stopped in front of the group, his eyes widened. "Terribly sorry to bother you Ma'am but could you by chance show me and my brother how to get on the platform?" Dahlia asked nicely, making herself look lost. "It's alright dearie, it's Ron's first time As well, you go in-between platforms nine and ten" the woman explained softly, her heart melting. "Thank you ma'am, I'm a bit nervous though. Would it be ok if I go with Ron? And my brother can go with you and your daughter? That way we get through safely" dahlia asked innocently, making her eyes wide.

"I'm pretty sure that's the moment mum adopted you both" Ron said with a smile, amused. "No doubt, our brilliant snake, melting hearts since 91'" Fred teased, "I'm sure your right, Ma-" dahlia stopped as she looked at her mom, she didn't want to offend her. "It's okay sweetie, I'm glad you both have a mother figure in your life" lily said softly recognizing the look in her daughter's eyes, While it hurt that she couldn't be there, she was comforted knowing someone had been there. "After Haz and Gin's wedding, we told mamma bear and pappa bear about the real reason we walked up to them and she stated she knew as haz looked at gin with a love sick expression" dahlia said with a smirk. Harry blushed, hiding his face in Ginny's hair, "Her first cunning moment, I'm so proud" barty said dramatically wiping a fake tear from his eye.
