Saving Brothers

Chapter 2: Hard Life

Chapter 2: Hard Life

Hermione and Ginny froze in place being unable to move. Lily Evans, a red haired beauty, and James Potter, the Harry look-alike, the people who in a couple years would give birth to their best friend and die a saving his a year later, the parents of the boy who survives the whole weight of the Wizarding World, and be relentlessly chased down and tortured by Voldemort. The girls were interrupted from their train of thoughts by James' voice, "Hello?"

Hermione came back to focus and replied with a quiet, "Hi."

Lily then greeted both girls warmly and led them up back to the Gryffindor Tower. They reached the portrait hole where the fat lady was sipping, no, chugging down some wine, "Password?" She said slurring a bit.

Lily said, "Kooky Fairy" and the portrait swung open.

Lily then said, "That's the password, if you don't mind what your names are?"

Hermione came up and said, "Hermione and Ginny Reeves. We're twins."

Lily looked at them with interest, "Fraternal Twins that's what they call them in the Muggle world twins born the same day but don't look the same."

"That's cool. Hermione and I are purebloods." Hermione then remembered they could either take up the muggle-born twins or pureblood. I guess pureblood would be easier, Ginny thought, I'm sure it will attract less attention.

Suddenly James came out of nowhere and stepped out into the hall, "Coming or not Evans? Hey and your names are? I didn't ask."

Lily looked at James with a scathing look and then said, "If you had any manners Potter you'd ask nicely. Well that's Ginny and she's Hermione, their pureblood twins."

James then looked curiously. "They don't look anything alike, silly Evans."

Lily turned red and then yelled, "CAN YOUR IQ GET ANY SMALLER POTTER!"

James ran quickly inside and presuming up to the boys' dorm to hide from Lily's temper. How'd they even get to stand each other, even marriage is beyond her, hmm thought both Ginny and Hermione at the same time. When they got into the common room it was the same as it was in the future overstuffed with comfy chairs and huge couches and pillows on them with the fire crackling warmly and reminding them how much they'd missed Hogwarts.

"It's just like in the future." whispered Hermione into Ginny's ear. Ginny then replied in a whisper,

"Expect were twenty years' time difference." After Lily had calmed down she led them to their dorms.

"So you guys are in 6th year too, I won't mind rooming with you. Here it is. 'll give you some privacy to change, wash up, and get ready. Also the house elves have some Gryffindor robes and PJ's brought to the room for you to change into." said Lily coolly said.

After Lily was gone Hermione placed amazing silencing and locking spells on the dorm and Ginny stepped into the shower quickly knowing this was going to lead into a rant.

"HOW CAN I DORM WITH HARRY'S MUM KNOWING WHEN SHE'S GOING TO DIE AND HOW? ALSO HOW SHE'S IS GOING TO LEAVE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON HIS SHOLDERS! THEN SEEING HER AND JAMES TO, JAMES POTTER, HIS FATHER, I mean I can't doing it without making a mistake somewhere and just wait we're going to meet Sirius and Remus somewhere here too. They're probably in the common room right now goofing off not knowing that one of the best friends will be a traitor and become the reason their best friend and his wife are dead! Then knowing how Sirius dies trying to protect his godson and Remus is left alone and in pain." By the time the rant was finished Ginny was done showering and in her robes.

"Don't worry Hermione no one will figure out. Just calm down and act like a student and not a war hero. How about we sit with Lily and James and try to get used to seeing them so we don't spill anything?" Ginny told her, rolling her eyes as Hermione stormed off into the shower her newly dark hair moving wildly.

Hermione agreed with the plan that they have formed after the shower. Hermione put some light make up and put on the 1978. When she finished Ginny was waiting for her so that they can get down to the Great Hall for dinner.
