The Lost Twin (Fred Weasley)

Chapter 29: The Article

Cassiopeia's POV
Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were  staring at Harry and I expectantly. We were all sitting under a tree out on the castle grounds. Harry and I had just been discharged from the hospital wing. A warm, light breeze ruffled my hair as it blew past.

"Er... well..?" Harry muttered, glancing at me awkwardly. We had decided to tell everyone, but neither of us knew how to start.

"Are you guys going to tell us this important thing?" Ginny asked.

"Yes" I told her, then turning to Fred and George I said, "please don't be mad at me. I wanted to tell you guys a lot sooner, but Dumbledore said it wasn't safe."

"Okay..?" They both said, though it sounded more like a question.

Harry and I hesitated for a moment. Then we looked at each other, then back at the group and said, "We're twins." They all stared at us for a second before they started laughing.

"That's a really good one Cas" Fred said. I face palmed, then looked to Harry.

"I told you they'd say that."

"I... should have listened" he said.

"We're serious. Harry is my twin brother" I said to everyone else.

"Come on guys..." Ron said uncertainly.

"Harry. Is. My. Twin. Brother." I said.

Everyone fell silent as they stared at us.

"Okay... I'll prove it. Remus Lupin is my god father. Oh... And I can do this- I can speak parceltounge" I said, saying the last bit in parceltounge.

"Blimey Adri- I didn't know you could do that" Harry said.

"Neither did I until that snake in the maze attacked me" I told him.

They were all staring at us completely shocked.
"I think they might be telling the truth.." Ginny whispered.

"They do have the same eyes.. and the same nose..." Fred said.

"But if you're twins, why wasn't Cas raised by the Dursley's too? How did you up with Bellatrix? How did nobody find out sooner?" Hermione began to question.

"Bellatrix kidnapped me before anyone else got to the house..." I said, my voice breaking slightly.

"Nobody found out sooner because apparently not as many people knew about her, since she wasn't found the night our parents were killed.." Harry added.

"Oh and by the way, my name is Adrianna Lily Potter. Not Cassiopeia Bellatrix Ariana Lestrange."

The group was still staring at us, confused. We sat in silence as they all stared at us. I occupied my time by watching a beetle that was crawling in the grass by my feet.

"I- I don't think their lying" Ginny finally spoke.

"I promise we aren't" Harry said.

"Not at all" I added.

"There's a lot of similarities... how didn't we see it before? They have the same eyes, the same smile, the same laugh, the same birthday, their the youngest seeker and the youngest chaser in a century." George said.

Everyone else nodded or murmured in agreement.

"That was a bit easier then expected?" I said as I turned to Harry, who agreed.

"I didn't know Remus was my godfather until after the maze. He was there when Harry and I were taken to Dumbledore's office. That's when they told me that part" I explained.
