The Twin Souls

Ch-4 I Blame the Nargles

24th June 1988

Bill Weasely tapped his foot hastily. Very promptly.

He was waiting for a trio of eight-year-olds he met every year since 1984.

The Head Boy was impatient at the moment. He looked at a 15-year-old Charlie Weasely and a 12-year-old excited kid who happened to be Percy Weasely.

Percy had never met them before and he really wanted to meet them because he had read all about them like everything else.

"Percy, calm down."

Percy looked at Bill through his horn-rimmed glasses and narrowed his eyes to say, "No."

Charlie exasperated, "Why? It's not our fault that last time you were sleeping till noon. You should have remembered to sleep during the exam days."

Percy gaped at him and said, "You have to sleep on those days? I did not know that."

Bill looked at his brother weirdly and asked, "You are awake because-?"

Percy smirked, "Exams ended four days ago for me."

Charlie gasped and shouted, "What?! Why did my last exam was yesterday then?"

Bill looked at his other brother weirdly, "You have taken Arthimancy, and Magical Creatures."

Bill looked in his watch. He also had his last exam today. His Runes to be exact, which will determine if he will get to become a Curse Breaker or not.

It was almost ten when the trio walked in.

A sleep-deprived black-haired kid, with a bouncy bespectacled kid and a chubby and kind blonde kid.

Percy was bouncing off the walls as he looked at the two most famous people in England.

Bill smiled at the eight-year-olds and said, "Hey, Harry, Neville, Perseus."

Perseus pouted and folded his arms. He glared mockingly at Bill and said, "I am Percy Peverell, not Perseus."

Percy Weasely looked confused and asked, "Aren't you a Potter?"

Percy Peverell said, "Was, but as I have the blood of Peverell's and Harry can alone carry the Potter name, I can officially be Peverell. Don't you know that?"

Percy Weasely looked at him like was just smacked in the face.

TheBoy-who-Lived's Twin smirked and said, "But the main reason for doing so is to be different from this weirdo."

Percy Weasely set his glasses correctly and harrumphed, but you can see a small smile at the lost attempt at a joke, and said, "May you be speaking the truth or the Nargles will attack you."

Harry Potter, Percy Peverell and Neville Longbottom looked at Bill as to know what exactly are Nargle-y creatures?

Bill just shrugged and pointedly looked at Charlie, the magical creature expert, in question.

Charlie pumped the air into his chest, which was to push away his nervousness in front of these kids which was still present, as if in arrogance and set his imaginary glasses straight and said proudly, "Nargles are not confirmed beasts--"

"Yet."

Everybody looked at Percy, then back at Charlie.

Charlie continued, after giving a mock glare to his younger brother, "Yes, yet. But nobody has spotted them. As of now, they are just imaginary creatures from the rubbish--"

Percy Weasley interrupted yet again, "Supposedly rubbish."

Charlie rolled his eyes and continued after muttering some incoherent words, "As I was saying, the supposedly rubbish magazine, Quibbler, which our crazy neighbour, Xenophilius Lovegood, publishes and edits."
