Alba Famiglia

Reunited Mists

Chapter Ten

Harry yawned loudly as he stretched in his bed. Looking blearily around, Harry was reminded of his meeting with the twins when he caught sight of the letter the twins had sent him. No longer tired, Harry sprung out of bed, running to his closet where he pulled on a finely made wizarding robe made out of satin. Rushing out of his room, Harry sped to the dining room where he was greeted by Blaise who had arrived earlier.

"I refused to be rushed." Blaise explained as he continued eating at a sedate pace. Harry laughed at Blaise as he piled a pancake after pancake onto his plate before drowning the pancakes in syrup. Blaise cringed at the sight before continuing to eat. They sat together in a comfortable silence. Mrs Zabini and Jin were unfortunately unable to eat with them due to other business.

Eventually, Blaise and Harry finished eating. Walking to the floo, they threw in a handful of floo powder before calling out for Gringotts. It was exactly the same as the day before.

Arriving at Gringotts, the two of them strolled to the counter before telling the goblin on duty about their meeting.

"Heir Potter and Heir Zabini with Signore Weasley and Signore Weasley?"

"Yes." Harry nodded before they were led to a side hall where they were ushered into a small room. The room was decorated simply with two sofas facing each other and a coffee table in between. Taking a seat on the sofa, Harry and Blaise relaxed as they were still early.

Just as the clock struck 8, the sofa glowed blue before two figures appeared on it.

"Uuurgh... I think I'm going to throw up!"

"Get your bony ass off me brother mine!"

"Excuse me? My ass is perfectly plump!"

Blaise stared at the squabbling twins with his face completely deadpan. Harry scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he watched the twins make a spectacle of themselves. Clearing his throat, Harry spoke up "Fred, George, this is Blaise. Blaise, this is Fred and George"

"Blimey Harry-"

"-you clean up really nice!"

"How's it going-"

"-for you here in Italy?" The twins took turns to speak as they tried to untangle themselves from one another.

Harry leaned over the table as he embraced the twins. "I've really missed you." If the twins felt that shirt become damp, they weren't saying anything. Looking down at Harry, they too reached around Harry, holding him tightly in their arms as they hugged him tightly. "We did too."

Blaise stood to the side completely silent as he watched over Harry, a small frown on his face.

Harry and the twins spent the next hour catching up.

"Wait, so the flames we have are mist flames?" Here Fred and George paused as their hands lit up. A indigo flames danced around their palms.

"They appeared when we were in our second year and experimenting with prank potions."

"Had these flames not appeared-"

"Well, we would have died that day."

"With these flames of ours-"

"A barrier formed between us and the cauldron-"

"Shielding us from the impact of the explosion."

Harry's eyes widened with shock as he heard about how the twins flames had been activated. Had the twins been unable to activate their flames, then won't they have been dead? They never would have met. Never. Harry trembled slightly as he pulled the twins into a hug.
