Marvelous Return

As it was already late when Sirius and Severus arrived, and they had to do the whole introduction again they decided to eat an early dinner and read some more of the journal instead of getting into the questions right away. Not that the spies weren’t curious, but none of them had much sleep the previous night and as they were stuck together for at least a week they were in no hurry.

The little ones were put to bed, JARVIS monitoring them, though Clint noticed, a lot more personal stuff could be found in the room now, more plushes, more clothes, a bedspread that wasn’t Tony’s, he wondered when Sirius took the time to pack up and unpack his things but let it slide, if something had been dangerous JARVIS would have told them.

Tony, Phil, Natasha, Remus, Sirius, Severus, and Clint sat down on the large couches in the living room with nightcaps taking a couple of sips before the readings started.

Clint opened the journal making himself comfortable he started reading.

Hello, Avengers and Avengerette,

She will kill you

Natasha nodded, but Clint knew her well enough to know she was finding it funny.

“There are two handwritings,” Clint told them.

“Probably twins, Fabian and Gideon wrote notes to us that way,” Sirius explained, Remus nodding next to him.

“Fred and George,” Severus revealed.

“How would you know?” Tony asked.

“Because I saw Harry’s memories, they are in a lot of it,” Severus told him.

We are the amazing,

The fabulous,

The untamable,

Prewett Twins!

Hey, it was my turn to say it!

Tough luck!

But if you started to read the books, you might know us better as Fred and George Weasley .

“How can they even write this way? The writer changes in the middle of a sentence,” Clint complained with a sigh.

“I don’t know they sound fun,” Tony told him.

“They sound tiring,” Phil said.

“Oh, they are,” Sirius confirmed with a grin.

If you didn’t, well you should.

Our dear Hermione was very thorough in betraying her best friend’s secrets

And hers, well, the ones everyone already knew about through the rumor mills anyway.

Right, like when she lit Snape on fire, everyone knew it was her before the game even ended.

“She stayed alive after that?” Sirius asked looking at Severus with a raised eyebrow.

“Someone must have confounded me, obviously,” He answered with a dismissive sneer, making Clint wonder if it was part of the memories he saw or if he was so good at keeping himself in check he wouldn’t lash out until he had all the information.

But nowhere does it say, Dumbledore was paying her to be Harry’s friend and keep everyone away from him.

Though, it becomes sort of obvious after a few chapters.
But, we never saw it before the books came out.

Like we thought our sweet little Harry would marry Ginny,

Reading the books we should have known it wasn’t going to happen.

Well, anyhow, we were asked to talk about what happened after.

Some of it, at least.

So, here we are.

About six months after the final battle, Hogwarts reopened, and students, who missed or couldn’t finish their 7th year, were asked to come back.

Of course, the brightest witch of her generation, aka Hermione, was all over it, Ron would have followed her everywhere, so he agreed too, but our little Harry didn’t feel like it.

He came to us, asking for a job.

A job!! Can you imagine?

“I don’t get it,” Remus said, “Why wouldn’t he ask?”

Anyway, we agreed, how could we not?

With a job contract in hands, Harry was allowed to not go back, as per the ministry rules.

We kept it a secret until he just didn’t show up to take the Express because none of us wanted to listen to Mom, Hermione, and Ginny while they would yell at him, all day, every day.

Turns out, the worst joke ever,

Dumbledore who had been dead for the past year, and didn’t help in the final year of the war, or the battle of Hogwarts, wasn’t as dead as everyone thought.

The plan was to introduce his very alive self at the Welcome Feast.

From there everything was turned on its axis.

Dumbledore started giving interviews telling everyone how big a part he played in the last year, staying hidden to help the so-called “Golden Trio”, that Harry was basically a tool, pushed into the right places at the right time by himself so the prophecy could become real faster, and people didn’t have to wait for Harry to grow up before Voldemort was gone.

 Dumbledore ruled the Wizarding World, for so long, and Harry didn’t want any of the attention, so he let him say whatever he wanted, until one day, Hermione’s book came out revealing how Harry survived, the Wizards and Witches suddenly turned on him, calling him a Dark Lord, cursing him as he walked in the Alley.

Soon, Harry decided to leave.

At first, he didn’t want any of us to come with, but we didn’t listen.

What we didn’t know was that when they realized how many of us left to follow Harry or were defending him in the media, they told everyone he was collecting followers.

We hid for a while.

Until Fleur’s parents contacted us, the ICW, under Dumbledore’s ruling, passed a new law. All creatures would be considered Dark and summarily executed if found in humans territories.

Harry went back to England, he had to go save Teddy, while we made sure Bill and his family would be protected, and Charlie and the Goblins worked to hide as many as they could.

Unfortunately, Harry’s Potter luck came through, Hermione and Ron knew he would come for Teddy, they were waiting for him, with Aurors and their supporters, they had already killed Andy when he arrived and wouldn’t give Teddy up.

He never told us what exactly happened, all we know is Teddy was safe and hidden with Fleur and the kids, and it took two days for Harry to replenish his core after he suffered from magical exhaustion.

The Prophet reported about dead Aurors and Dark Lord Potter being responsible as he tried to rescue one of his ally from the new law.

Nowhere did it state that the ‘ally’ was his 17 months old godson, or that they attacked him first, neither did it say anything about Harry not being the one killing the Aurors.

From what we managed to get out of him, Hermione’s and Ron’s supporters turned on the Aurors when they tried to arrest them for attacking Harry and killing Andromeda.

From then, we had to move a lot, from continent to continent, until we met the mutant community in the USA, we hid with them, after talking to their leaders.

We could finally spend time with Bill and the kids, Fleur had been caught when she went to visit her parents.

Unfortunately, we didn’t realize the mutants were under surveillance, it only took two more years for Dumbledore to find us. He allied himself with the anti-mutant people, and they started to raid the hideouts. He had many in the Wizarding community behind himself, telling them Harry was recruiting muggles with powers.

They exterminated everyone they found, but as Dumbledore promised he would help with the mutants, and he needed the wizards behind him to do so, and expose magic to the muggles, they were only attacking campsites in which they knew we weren’t.

In one epic battle, not long after the Avengers got involved, the media got their first videos of the battle, leaked by Tony…

“Your welcome,” Tony said, but his tone wasn’t light-hearted or joking, he was clearly trying to keep himself from choking on the words.

Leaked by Tony, the muggles finally got to see what was really happening in those battles, the Avengers had been sent to help the army but turned on them when they saw what they were doing, and the public followed their heroes.

 It was too late though, while we could and did convince most mutants to not retaliate and become what they had feared, the wizards were a different thing altogether, the muggle officials published the proof Dumbledore had given them to justify the attacks, and they convince everyone a war against the wizards was in order.

 We were fighting on all front, the anti-mutant sympathizers still raided them, the muggles were attacking all wizarding communities whether they had been following Dumbledore or not, the wizards following Dumbledore, voluntarily or because the ICW passed laws forcing it, attacked Muggles, the mutants, the Avengers, their friends, as well as us, we were trying to protect everyone, going to peace summits, talking to the media.

  We found the ritual about three years ago, the goblins gave it to us, but Harry convinced us we didn’t need it, some of Voldemort people had turned on him, and others would see the light.

Hermione and Ron found Teddy a year later.

From then on, Harry didn’t listen to anyone anymore, it was one more person he loved who died because of him, it was all he could see.

We had to put him in a healing coma for almost a month when he went to Hogwarts, thinking if he gave himself up Dumbledore would stop everything.

Fawkes brought him back to us.

We never found out exactly what happened there, Harry’s magic became more powerful, but also unstable.

To us, the solution was simple, so while he slept, we read everything we could find on the ritual, decided who would do what started to prepare what would be needed.

When he woke up, we told him we would go through with it, with or without his approval.

As Bill already told you, he never spoke to us again.

There is something you should know. Through many manipulations and though he had a lot of love to share, Harry never let anyone close enough to him to be loved in return.

Luna said the reason was on the test the Goblins had done on him before it all started, but he never shared with us. We think our sister and mother had something to do with it as he never went to see them after his day at Gringotts.

If you can, make sure Harry finds love in his life, he deserves it more than he thinks.

Also, we know Bill said not to interfere with our lives before Hogwarts was done. Bill is a wonderful brother, but he is older than us, and he moved away as soon as he received his NEWTs results, he doesn’t know how it was as soon as the war was done. Not saying mom became violent or anything like that. Honestly, we thought it was her grief that changed her. But, she became bitter, difficult to live with, always caring about Ginny and Ron and dismissing us, only talking to us when we needed to be punished. She never approved of anything we did. 

He never noticed because in the summer when he was home, he and our other brothers would spend time playing with us, keeping us company, making us play outside.

We are all for giving Harry a better life, and we understand and agree with Bill and Charlie what we made of our lives is important and what we chose for ourselves, no matter how much mom yelled, but we promised Harry we would tell you, if you have a chance to do it, get us away from mom.

That’s us done I guess.

Well, there is the Prewett part.

Ragnok can explain that.

Plus Sirius is there, he must know.

About us, but not the others.

We had to hide, with Ron running around killing people he thought were ‘unworthy’, Dad said we should all take the Prewett name, and Hugo became his heir, instead of Bill.

Bill was an outlaw anyway, he would have been killed the second he tried to go to the Wizengamot, and his son was part Veela.

They killed Dad when they found out their son was his heir, we can't prove it, but we know he refused to vote their way, the change was announced in the Prophet, saying Dad was finally putting his support behind Hermione and Ron, a week later he was found dead in his shed.

Well, I hope Bill didn’t drink all the Firewhiskey, this was depressing.

Wait for me!

Harry, we love you always.

Fred and George Prewett.

“This was depressing,” Tony told them and went to the wet bar on the other side of the room, “Drinks anyone?”

“I knew Bill and Strange said it was bad, but…” Clint said unable to finish.

“I get the feeling SHIELD was involved somehow,” Phil said sadly. “I’ll need to talk to Fury.”

“I’ll try to contact my contacts in the Wizarding World,” Natasha told them and swiftly left the room.

“I don’t think I could endure more of it tonight,” Sirius said and left after her, Clint was sure he went to see the little ones, and soon Remus followed.

Severus was fuming but stayed silent, before he jumped out of the couch and went to his own room.

“We need to make sure none of this ever happens,” Tony told them. “I’ll contact the people I know.”

“And what? None of it happened yet,” Phil told him. “If you try to explain, only Xavier will listen to you.”

“He will have to do then, it will give him some time either to hide better or to make the rest of them,” he said gesturing toward the windows and the rest of the world, “understand and accept the mutants.”

“We need to sleep,” Phil said, “We’ll regroup on it in the morning. And I think we need to start reading these books.”

Clint and Tony nodded, and though Clint obeyed and saw Tony take out a tablet and talking to JARVIS as he left the room.
