The Prewett's

November 27th, 1963

Back in July, Rosamund and Thomas didn't truly think you would become so close with the Prewett twins, but they thought Fabian and Gideon would be a good start for you. You, who had always been such a serious and quiet baby and toddler, would be thrown into a fun day with the twins, who loved causing mischief and playing outside until day turned into night.

Imagine their surprise when they stepped through the back door and saw the three of you sitting still under that tree, calmly whispering and giggling with each other. Irene, the twin's mother, made the joke that Thomas and Rosamund's plan had the opposite effect: instead of her twins getting you out of your peaceful shell, you drew her twins inside it.

Since that summer day, the twins came over several times a week, and when they couldn't, they'd write you letters about their day instead.

When September came and Molly went back to Hogwarts, their visits increased tenfold, which turned into several sleepovers. There were several points in time when Irene and her husband, Charles, had to pick Fabian and Gideon up, who'd end up kicking and screaming when their parents tried to tell them that they were spending too much time at your house.

"Gideon, please." An exhausted Charles begs.

For once, only one of the two twins was throwing a fit over taking a break from the constant sleepovers... This might have had to do with the fact that Fabian was sleeping deeply in Irene's arms, but that was beside the point.

When he finally wrangled Gideon over his shoulder, a firm hand keeping the wiggling boy in place, Charles sighed. You tried not to—honestly, you did—but seeing how tiring the twins could be, you giggled when Charles muttered, "I'm getting too old for this."

With his free hand, Charles ruffles your hair with a fond look in his eyes."Y'know Arden, Gideon and Fabian are only mellow when you're around. One of these days you'll have to share your secrets."

"But I don't do anything." You comment with a confused expression, tilting your head and pretending not to hear Charles when he murmurs how great it'd be to have another daughter—

It didn't go over your head that Fabian and Gideon have mischievous and rambunctious tendencies, but you never thought they were too bad, and they took it upon themselves to relax at your level. Hearing his remark made you wonder how wild the twins were at home.

"I can hear you," Gideon grumbles to his father like it's a promise of how good (or bad) his behavior will be when they get back to their house. With another sigh, Charles pats your head, says goodbye, and walks with Irene toward your living room fireplace.

Just before Charles turns around again, Gideon props his head up and flashes you his award-winning smile, yelling into his dad's ears (probably on purpose) how it won't be much longer until he and Fabian come back.

For a while, you used every second to yourself you had trying to remember.

Gideon and Fabian had been a part of your life for the better part of six months, but you barely recall reading about them. At most, you remember them being mentioned in passing. You don't even remember who originally told Harry about them, just that they informed him that the twins were killed by five death eaters for their roles in the original Order of the Phoenix. It was a miracle you could recall Antonin Dolohov being one of their murderers, but that was all you could muster.
