The Twins Who Lived

It's happened before....

"I don't suppose you could tell me why you're trying to kill me." harry demanded, a lot less angry now that his sister got after him,"Not kill you, sir. Never kill you. Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter and Dahlia Black triumphed over He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. We house elves were treated like vermin, sir. Of course, Dobby is still treated like vermin." dobby cried, harry sighed as his sister comforted the little elf.

"Not yet Mia, let them watch the last movies before you put forth your idea" Dahlia whispered, Hermione sighed before nodding

Dahlia nose wrinkled as dobby blew his nose on his raggedy pillowcase "I swear, if it's the last thing I do, I'll get you freed dobby, and better clothes" Dahlia promised, before dobby could respond, metal banging could be heard.

"of course! " Dahlia exclaimed, her eyes widened, "the answer was right there in front of us" She added to her friends, each of their eyes widened in realization, Merlin they had been clueless then.

"Listen. Listen.  Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts. Harry Potter and Dahlia Black must not stay here now that history is to repeat itself." Dobby said in a whisper "Repeat itself? You mean this has happened before?" Harry asked, confused, he shared a look with Dahlia.

The current students were confused, by the looks of it, the staff, the ministry contingent, and the select parents there knew what was being discussed, some shot hagrid suspicious looks, thinking about the ministry's reaction to the opening of the chamber.

Dobby disappeared as hurried footsteps approached, the twins shared a look before they quickly laid down, facing each other, their eyes closed and they pretended to be asleep just as the door was opened. Madam Pomfrey entered first, quickly followed by Professor Dumbledore, a stretcher and then Professor McGonagall "Put him here. What happened?" Pomfrey asked as the stretcher was lowered, showing the petrified state of Colin Creevey, Dahlia subtly clung to her brother as he told her who it was through their link, the sweet darling Colin, she bit her lip to keep from gasping.

Lily, and all of the other mother's in the hall gasped, none of them could fathom their child being in that spot, their hearts ached for the child, most of them felt even worse for the boy as they knew since he was a muggleborn his parents wouldn't be told of his current state, they couldn't believe what that would have been like, not knowing your child had been hurt, and there was nothing you could do for them.

"There's been another attack." Dumbledore stated simply, Dahlia held back her retort, knowing now was not the time to mention how undoubtedly stupid and unneeded that comment was. "I think... You know that I think he's been Petrified, Madame Pomfrey.  Perhaps he managed to take a picture of his attacker?" McGonagall stuttered, looking down at her petrified cub with sadness, concern, and grief, her cub wasn't dead but he was hurt and that felt almost as bad. Dahlia felt sorry for her grandmother.

"did we add, you know what? " Harry asked, "I believe so, if not then we'll stop the movie and show the memory" Hermione said,  Dahlia nodded in agreement

Dumbledore carefully picked up Colin's camera, turning it over, he opened it, letting out a puff of smoke. "What can this mean, Albus?" McGonagall asked worriedly, "It means... that our students are in great danger" Dumbledore said safely, "What should I tell the staff?" McGonagall asked, "The truth. Tell them Hogwarts is no longer safe. It is as we feared, Minerva. The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again." Dumbledore said gravely.
