hello ! It's chapter 1 for this fanfic ! I hope you'll like it ! Disclaimer : don't own HP,the Creeps or the SCPs. J.K. Rowling own the first and the two others are owned by different creators that are not me (I only own my OCs). you can leave rewiews if you wish to see more people with the twins and if yes which people.
Holly and Iris are now nine years old. They took some weight and got a proper muggle and pureblood magical education. Plague and Jason told the two about their mother and the children whom the twin's mother took under her wing.
"I recognize them vaguely but it's weird." Jason said
"Why so dada ?" asked Holly
"Why they are from the past...they are the younger siblings of Rowena,Godric,Helga and Salazar" Jason replied
Jason told them their names : Corvus Aquila and Raven Sapphire Ravenclaw,Leo and Leanne Garnet Gryffindor,Melis Holocaust and Holly Citrine Hufflepuff,and,Serpens and Sally Emerald Slytherin. The twins wondered if they could call them here,Jason answered their was an advanced spell called 'Expecto Patronum' that could serve as messenger and that you needed a happy memory for it to work.
The twins,of course,tried to do so by fueling the best memory they both had and their intent while muttering the incantation. The animals were different depending the twin. Holly had a winged serpent,a quetzalcqualt her dad said. And Iris had a rare type of badger,A lion badger,a brave but gentle being. They both sent their message to their eight honorary siblings (their words not mines). Eight patronuses came back and told them they will come as fast as they can.
TIME SKIP 2 YEARS :
Holly and Iris were excited,they received their Hogwarts letters ! Their older brothers Leo,Melis,Serpens and Corvus are already enrolled and now they were going with their sisters ! Now they only needed to go in Diagon Alley to buy the school supplies and to take up any Heirship they have. Raven and Sally knew they had also an Heirship to claim so asked Jason if they could have a Inheritance test done. He said yes so they could see which house they were heiress to.
They went to the Leaky Cauldron and talked to Tom for a bit and got to the wall,Jason then tapped the correct bricks and walked in Diagon Alley to Gringotts. They arrived before a goblin teller and bowed and greeted him with the respect he deserves.
"Greetings teller goblin,May your name be feared by your enemies and respected by your allies. We would like 6 inheritance test to see for the vaults." greeted Jason to the goblin and the kids did the same
"And May your vault overflow with wealth,follow me if you please." the goblin replied and beckoned the witches to follow
"boys you know what you need ?" asked Jason
"Yes,Serpens and Leo found naught in the vaults but Melis and I couldn't go in the main vault but we have a trust vault so it's okay. We can't because our lines are matriarchal ones were as Serpens and Leo are patriarchal ones." explained Corvus
"Good." 'Rowena must have known something and told it to Helga...clever witch...' thought Jason with a smirk
WITH THE ELEVEN YEARS OLDS :
"You just have to cut your palms and let drop 3 drops of blood in the bowl and the cut will heal" told the goblin
"who goes first ?" asked Sally
"Who's the eldest ?" retorted Raven
"fuck you...I am ! I'm born at Beltane" answered Holly
"What comes first Beltane or Imbolc ?" asked Leanne,whom was born at Imbolc

"arghhh ! Okay I go" muttered Leanne,cutting her palm and let the 3 drops go in the bowl

"Ladies Potter-Lefay,I give you the choice of separating in two the rings equally so the two of you can wear the rings." replied the goblin
The twins nodded and talked in hushed voice before coming to an agreement.
"I will take the rings left by our uncle and godfather and my sister will have the one left by our dear mother." replied Iris
"Thank you for choosing fast,you two will go be cleansed of the potion and blocks." he pointed to two healers and the twins followed
"you four will need to have your rings." the goblin snaps his fingers and another goblin enter with 12 rings
"The heir rings are simpler than the Lady rings. You can wear them." said the goblin
Sally went first with her heir ring,then Raven with the Lady ring,then Holly with the Lady ring,then Leanne with the heir ring. They waited for their sisters in all but blood to appear to give them their rings.
Both twins came back,looking very much better and their scars were thin white lines. They were filled in with what happened and took their rings.
Holly the LeFay Ladyship and the Slytherin,Gryffindor,Ravenclaw,Hufflepuff heir rings. Iris the Potter Ladyship and the Slytherin,Gryffindor,Black heir rings.
The goblin,named Gutsplitter,took them to their vaults. They first stopped to the LeFay vault,Holly touched the hand print and it pricked her finger before allowing her entrance.
Holly moved between the stack of gold,silver and bronze and took a handful of every coins. She made her way towards the books when a sound stopped her in her track.
"Why hello there,it's been some time since someone entered this vault." a portrait said
"Hello Miss,who are you ?" asked Holly to the portrait who feigned offence but smiled softly
"Why my name is Morgana LeFay previously Morgana Pendragon. And what's your name little one ?" asked Morgana's portrait
"My name is Holly Lilith Potter Milady." replied Holly,fidgeting with her dress
"none of the 'Milady' thing if you would,call me Morgana. You're going to Hogwarts aren't you ?" asked Morgana
"Alright Morgana and yes I start Hogwarts this year" replied Holly,smiling to the portrait
"Could you take one of the blank canvas with you ? I would like to mentor you if it's a possibility and I could do with talking to someone" asked Morgana pointing to the stack of blank canvasses
"of course Morgana !" Holly replied and ran to the stack bringing two decent sized one
"Why two may I ask ?" asked Morgana
"My twin and I could put the blank canvases in our trunks and sometimes we could talk to you and other if we find other portraits in the other vaults ! we could use a friend outside of the one we have where we live and the one we would have at Hogwarts. Because where we live,the adults are occupied,the non-human ones can't be with us everytime and the ones at Hogwarts can't be with us in summer...soo..." explained Holly to Morgana,who was touched she would think of her as a friend
"Alright,thank you Holly and go back to your sister. I am sure we made them wait for quite some time." replied Morgana and waved kindly to Holly who raced back with canvasses in hand
"Do anyone of you have a bottomless bag other than the pouch for money ?" asked Holly,flushed from running to the ones in the cart
"yeah I always have more in case. Catch !" nodded Raven and thrown the bag to Holly,who thanked her and slipped the canvasses in the bag carefully
"Thank you,we can continue to the next vault" nodded Holly after climbing back in the cart
They went to the Ravenclaw vault next. Raven stepped out the cart and placed her hand on the print. It pricked her skin and allowed her passage. She collected money and searched for portrait. When she saw none,she sighed and went back.
"No portrait" was the only thing she would tell before sitting next to Vesper
The Hufflepuff,Gryffindor and Slytherin were the same,no portraits either. The Potter vault was after them. Iris left the cart and placed her hand on the print and it allowed her entrance.
She entered and took some money when she heard someone yell her name.
"Iris ! It's me James !" yelled a portrait and the other people in the portraits facepalmed or chuckled at his exuberance
"Hello Dunkle Prongs,good to see you too" Iris giggled and waved
"so where's your sister Holly ? Aren't you both here ?" asked James to his niece,she looked so much like her other father !
"My sister and I shared our rings so she have what Mom had as rings and I got from you and our Dogfather." She replied,then took a thinking pose and smirked
"Can I take two big portraits so you can all come to where we leave and say hello from time to time or help us with advices over the summer ?" She asked the portraits
The portraits discussed and came to an agreement.
"Yes we would like that very much plus we could get to know you and your sister !" answered an old lady in one of the portrait
"thanks !" she rushed to get the two big portraits with a big grin on her face
She waved excitedly and went back to the cart. She asked for a bottomless bag and got one to put the big portraits in. The next stop was the Black vault. Iris left again and placed her hand on the print and it allowed her access.
She didn't take money but moved around the library and the weapons passing by the portraits when one yelled.
"OI !" it yelled
Iris got startled and pointed her claw-like hand in attack on a portrait.
"Good reflexes young lady" smiled another one
"thank you sir. Who are you though ?" asked Iris who calmed and smacked herself mentally for being jumpy
"we are the deceased Blacks who have a portrait ! Mainly ancestors and the like. so who are you ?" asked a male
"My name is Iris Lilith Potter sir. I am going to Hogwarts this year." She answered and curtsied politely
"You're a polite young lady and a Potter you say...hmmm is a Black one of your sworn godfather or in your lineage ?" asked a lady
"Yes My Lady,Sirius Black is my sworn godfather...wait..." She took a thinking pose and gasped
"He is in Azkaban ! If he is my sworn godfather he couldn't have gave my mother and uncle James away to the Dark Lord...so it means he was framed for it and the only other who could have would have been...Wormtail..." She hissed the name like it was no more than dust
"So it is..." a male ancestor replied
"can I have two big portraits for all of you ? You could teach me and my sister some thing and you could be in another place other than here..." She asked
The portraits looked each other and nodded. Iris smiled and took the portraits and slipped them in the bag and left the vault.
"we're good !" replied Iris
They went back to the surface and went to the older boys and Jason. They told them they didn't find the portraits of the founders. He said it didn't matter and they would see at Hogwarts. They went to shop for their things and paid for them. They had their wands whom had a core of their magical inheritance.
They got back to their home and attached the portraits to the wall of their bedroom and they punched each other in the shoulder good naturedly for thinking of the same thing. They have the same trunk but two separate wardrobe to suit their needs as they didn't have the same clothing style. Holly was very feminine and wore dresses that match the colour of their deceased Aunties and Uncles the founders but Iris wore mainly black outfits for male or medieval doctor robes.
They,between the shopping and the 1st of September,visited the Horror village and the SCP foundation to chat with the SCPs and Creeps. They spent a lot of time with Candy Pop and Candy Cane as they knew whom their mate were.
TIME SKIP : HOGWARTS EXPRESS !
Iris and Holly stood before the portal to the station 9 and three quarters. They nodded to themselves and to their company that they were ready and went through the portal,running. They were awed by such a grand train ! They hoped it was as good as their father said it was,they hoped it wasn't changed much since then ! They hugged the living daylights out of their father who chuckled and hugged back. They followed their elder brothers to their train car, they sat in the car and started a conversation on the hiding place of the Founders' portraits. Corvus suggested the highest towers or they could ask Alexander the Sorting Hat,Raven added about the chambers of the Founders if they were still here,Serpens pointed out that they could just ask Hogwarts to make a magical line visible only to them to their portraits if they were here. It was decided that it was only to be used as last resort.
They had time to change so the males left the compartment with their robes and went to find the changing one. When the elders came back,it was time to separate the elders from their beloved siblings and mates (for some).
"Firs' years ! Firs' years ove' he'e !" boomed a huge man,it was probably an half-giant
"anymo'e firs' year ? Min' yer step !" bellowed the half-giant
They all followed him and they arrived to a lake.
"No more than four to a boat ! Right then,FORWARD !" he yelled after we all entered a boat
The boats advanced as one on the Black Lake by what the 6 knew as the Giant Squid named 'Squishy'. They giggled all the way because Squishy sneaked his tentacles out of water to play and greet them amicably...well as amicably and he could with dunderheads fooling around.
They arrived in front of the Main Doors where a stern woman,Professor McGonagall Hagrid said,took them to the Great Hall and monologued a short introduction of the Houses to them. All the Muggle-borns jumped when the ghosts appeared and disappeared just as fast. The six girls giggled behind their hands when they jumped. Even Ron did and they thought it funny because he had 5 brothers in Hogwarts,3 of them are still in,he of all people should know the ghosts do that every year !
They were led to the centre were Alexander sang a poem of the Houses. They clapped with the older students and the Sorting began. After sometime the first of the honorary siblings was to be sorted.
"Badgerfur,Holly Citrin !" called McGonagall
Citrin walked to the stool and Alexander was placed upon her head.
'Hello Holly,I thought I would never get to sort you.' claimed Alexander mentally
'Hello to you too Alexander,it as been quite some time I admit but you got to sort our brothers before us !' replied Citrin joyfully
'you act so much like Helga it almost hurt,you know they were stricken with grief when you disappeared ?' asked softly the Hat to the girl
'Really ? I don't remember a lot...I just remember screams and white light...' Citrin replied,eyes moist with emotion
'I will tell the headmaster,you can come to see me anytime and he have to,Lady Hogwarts will be happy to help and I wonder if the ghosts from your siblings time will tell you some things...' told Alexander before he yelled
"HUFFLEPUFF !" said house cheered and a tearful Citrin handed back the Hat,mumbling about a hat needing a bath
Leanne was the next child called.
"Lionmane, Leanne Garnet !" a smirking Leanne made her way to the stool
'Hello Leanne,like I told Holly you can see me anytime since I'll tell the headmaster to let you see me,I can tell you some things on your siblings and yes there are portraits of them.' told Alexander to Leanne who nodded before he yelled
"GRYFFINDOR !" said tables cheered and clapped
Holly and Iris would be next,they knew it.
"Potter,Holly Vesper !" called McGonagall
Said twin nodded and went to the Holy stool (as the older boys called it) and Alexander was plopped on her head.
'hmm interesting,an heir of the Founders...no wonder you are in family term with their siblings ! It's hard to sort you,you know ? All the Founders would love you in their houses so I let you choose' said Alexander
'Where I would be the best would be either Slytherin or Ravenclaw but I am sure the Headmaster would meddle and my sister and I need to lay low till It's the right time...or we could go Gryffindor Exhuberance and cause a rather big scene by joining our rightful house. So Gryffindor please Alexander ?' replied Holly,Alexander chuckled
'Salazar and Rowena would have definitely kidnapped you to nurture that side of you before the others have a say in it but you are right' grinned Alexander and yelled
"GRYFFINDOR !" yelled the Hat,the house cheered and chanted 'We got one Potter'
"Potter,Iris Lilith !" the second twin was called and she silently walked to the stool,not even a faint patter was heard
'A second heir to the founders ? Your sister told me already of the plan you formed to lay low so you already know what house you will be joining' said Alexander
'Yes we came with it together,I come with the ground of the plan so to say and if it got flows my sister alert me and propose ideas to counter the flaws to make it as flawless as possible' nodded Iris,the Hat then yelled
"GRYFFINDOR !" the table screamed themselves hoarse and chanted 'We got the Potters !' all over again
Raven was called after that.
"Raveneye,Raven Sapphire !" the Hat was disposed on her head
'Why hello Rowena's mini-me !' chuckled Alexander at Raven whom pouted with the most adorable face
'It won't work on me and you are too old for it. Either way,you know were you would be ?' asked rhetorically Alexander
'Honoring my beloved sister by going in her house and I WILL check on my nest mates for any ill-at-ease one...and maybe tease my niece and Holly because they are mates ?' nodded and snickered Raven at the Hat whom yelled once again ,his amusement bleeding through
"RAVENCLAW !" the table cheered and clapped but it was more subdued than Gryffindor
Sally was the last and was nervous to say the least but still confident.
"Snakefang,Sally Emerald !" It's time,stop trembling and restore the lost honour of the Slytherin house because of Moldyshort !
The Hat was placed on her head.
'Hello Sally,long time no see.' casually said Alexander
'You're kidding Alex ? It was,what, a bit less of thousand years ago that we were born and torn from our time ?' deadpanned Sally
'your personality is exactly the same as Salazar,you know your brother and Rowena would have kidnapped the twins to nurture their talents if it was possible ?' joked Alexander
'Serpens and Corvus did taught them all they knew,it was quite a bit' both Alexander and Sally knew it was an understatement,he then yelled
"SLYTHERIN !" the house clapped and the only one who was grinning like a cat was her brother,Serpens
The twins ajusted easily enough in their house,they were fast friends with the muggle-born Hermione Granger. They liked her because like them she had a thirst for knowledge but bravery overshone this thirst. They talked about the Wizarding Traditions and asked her if she would like to discover the Traditions with them. Hermione replied yes.
The Next day :
The twins arrived in the Great Hall for breakfast with Leanne and Leo,Iris asked the headmaster if they could sit with their friends at their tables. He replied that they could but they don't make a scene otherwise they have to sir to their house tables. The twins fist-bumped and joined their friends at Gryffindor table.
"We are only Saturday,we have two days time to search for the portraits. We have to look for their chambers and search them whole." whispered Corvus in a soft voice
"Agreed,we start with Sal's chambers,they are the most known even if people thinks It's just a myth." grinned Leo like a loon
"what are you talking about ? Can I help you ?" asked silently Hermione,turning to them
"My fellow Gryffindor,do you know about the personal chambers of the Founders of Hogwarts ?" asked Citrin in her ear
"in Hogwarts : a history It's said that only the Slytherin Founder had one but It's only speculations and rumours" replied Hermione taking a thinking pose and gasped quietly
"They're real ?" she whispered shocked and giddy for more info
"Yes and we're searching for them to see for any paintings of them. Could you keep it to yourself and you can participate ?" said Serpens
"of course and you're not telling everything,I never had a friend before and I would like to be your friend..." Hermione bowed her head
"we would love to be your friend and It's because we don't think anyone will believe us if we said it even with a magical oath" grimly said Melis
"I will keep an open mind even if It's farfetched." solemnly said Hermione
They were handed their timetables and nodded at their head of house,Minerva McGonagall.
They left after having finished breakfast and took Hermione with them. They went to an unused classroom and the boys put privacy charms and a locking charm on the door.
"okay I start with something simple...In Hogwarts : a history there is a lot of things that are false or half truth because of the time that passed or info that didn't got stored. For example the four founders had siblings : two each,a boy and a girl. But one day,They disappeared in thin air." explained Raven
"you're their siblings aren't you ?" asked Hermione out of the blue
"exact,how come aren't you a Ravenclaw ?" nodded Sally
"the hat said I could be great in Ravenclaw but I would be in a way inhdered because of the question of my bravery,it told me I was braver than I looked and it outshined my scholar mindset...so Gryffindor it is" shrugged Hermione
We are going to Salazar's chambers first. But first a riddle : Everyone know it's name but got faded with time and became an infamous myth of the school,what am I ?" spoke calmly Corvus
Hermione thought for a second before snapping her fingers.
"The Chambers of Secrets" breathed Hermione
"It's still called like that ?" snorted Serpens in mirth
"What ?" asked Hermione
"Godric told the students from their times to call it like that and apparently it stayed" cackled Leo
"really ?" giggled Hermione
"yeah ! I think I know where it is but I am not sure,follow me" Serpens undid the privacy charms and locking charm
The group made their way towards the girls bathroom on the second floor. Serpens looked at the sinks and saw a snake on one of them.
"Found it" he claimed
~open~ he hissed and the sink opened
~stairs~ stairs appeared and they disappeared in the sink
The whole group went down the pipe and arrived in the Chambers hall,crouching. It was dark in there,but in a way it was pretty. They arrived in front of a circular door with a snake lock.
~open~ hissed Iris,the snakes moved to grant passage
"come" beckoned Holly to Hermione,taking her hand and tugging it
A statue of Salazar Slytherin was in the end of the corridor.
"let me hiss and all of you close your eyes. ~speak to me Slytherin,slyest of the Hogwarts four !~" Serpens warned them and hissed to the statue
The statue's mouth opened and a large snake slithered out.
~young Slytherin,are you the descendant of my master ?~ hissed the snake to Serpens
~no I am not his descendant if I am his brother,My name is Serpens Forrest Slytherin at your service~ Serpens bowed to the Basilisk
~Serpens ? My master spoke greatly of you even if you were only five when you disappeared ! He was very much saddened by it... Is Hogwarts in danger ?" hissed the Basilisk
~No Hogwarts isn't in danger...do you have a given name ? You didn't told us...~ hissed back Serpens,gesturing to the rest
~oh,where are my manners...I am Slinky the Basilisk ! Do you happen to know where my mother Esmaralda is and Why are you here for ?~ hissed back sheepishly Slinky
~I do not know Slinky where your mother is and we are here to see for any portraits of my brother,Salazar~ hissed Serpens
~tell your friends they can open their eyes I closed my inner lids and I will guide you all~ hissed Slinky
The first to open their eyes where Sally,Holly and Iris since they could speak and understand parseltongue naturally and shook the others shoulders to tell them it was okay to look. The rest opened their eyes and gasped at Slinky's beauty.
~I will guide you to Master Salazar's portrait~ hissed Slinky and slithered inside the statue
They walked for some time and arrived into a room well lit with a middle-sized portrait of Salazar Slytherin himself.
~Master,you have visit~ hissed Slinky softly to the sleeping portrait
The portrait opened his eyes and gasped quietly when he saw Sally and Serpens.
"Salarandra ? Serpens ? Is that truly you ?" the Slytherin founder with so much hope it broke everyone's heart
"yes brother,it is truly us !" Sally replied,tears streaming down her face and a happy smile on her lips
"We missed you very much brother ! I waited until now because I wanted my sister beside me to search for your portraits,you and the other founders" nodded Serpens with a small smile and a single tear rolling down his cheek
"who are the others three that I do not recognize ?" asked Salazar
"This is Holly and Iris Potter,they are your true descendants and not that prick Tom Riddle. ~They are parseltongue too~" replied Serpens pulling the twins up front and hissed the last part
~hello Salazar !~ hissed at the same time the twins happily
~Hello hatchlings,who are your parents if I may ask ? You have a different look from others if I may say so..~ hissed Salazar back
~our mother was one of your descendant.Well the first magical born of,we think,a long line of squibs. One of our fathers is named Jason the Toymaker and the second is "named" the Plague Doctor or SCP-049~ hissed Iris
~I take more after Papa Jason but Iris take more after Father Plague but we have a sol Avada green eye from our mother...and our personalities apparently too~ hissed Holly
~Papa Jason told us to call you Uncle so you are our Uncle and that's non negotiable ! Uncle Godric,Auntie Rowena and Auntie Helga didn't get spared we'll have you know~ hissed back Iris
~We are mated too ! We know the first mates but not the seconds...~ hissed Holly in defeat
~Well who are the mates of my nieces then ?~ hissed Salazar in amusement
"Candy Pop and Helena Zephyrine Ravenclaw for me" replied Holly
"Candy Cane and Lucas Beckam for me" sighed Iris
Both Serpens and Salzar exploded in laughter,Raven and Corvus snickered behind their hands.
"First thing first,I didn't bet on who they were going to end up with we will have to talk to the other three about that. Rowena have to give all of us founders a dare...and Second,your second mate Holly is Rowena's daughter who also happen to be Raven's and Corvus's niece. Third your mate Iris,was one my student when I was alive. And the both of them are possessive and very protective but don't seem as much when you first meet them." said Salazar,still trying to control his laughter to manageable levels
"I can attest Helena is clingy ! I had to negotiate so I could go to class alone ! I simply told her I would spend all the free time I can with her. She accepted reluctantly what I proposed. I think she is going to know that her mate arrived and i am sure she is searching for Holly as we speak" Corvus replied
"I won't put it past the both of them" smoothly said Salazar
"So they are ghosts ?" asked timidly Hermione behind Leanne
Corvus and Serpens nodded,shaking in laughter at the twins blushing face as they knew they imagined things,wild things.
"yes they are young one,I suppose at least. I haven't outside in many years" nodded Salazar "who are you ?" he asked again
"I am Hermione Granger,sir" nodded awkwardly Hermione to the founder
"a New-blood then ? It's wonderful to meet you Hermione" smiled easily the founder
"a New-blood ?" Hermione tilted her head in confusion
"yes ? You lot aren't called like that anymore ?" asked Salazar in confusion himself
"No they are called muggleborns or the Pure-bloods call them Mudblood" Serpens winced at the last word,Salazar sighed sadly
"bigoted idiots...well the others portraits are also in their chambers,please take the blank canvases over here. They are under a stasis charm." Salazar gestured to a stack of untouched canvases and they all took one,except Hermione
"Why don't you take one Hermione ? I am not going to eat you" softly said Salazar
"O-Okay sir..." nodded Hermione and took one carefully
"it's just History about Hogwarts have missing bits and since we weren't here we hoped we could have some unbiased stories about what happened. Because it only speak about a disagreement between you and 'Ric and it everything went downhill from here. There has been an unhealthy rivalry between your houses for generations and it continues" replied sadly Serpens to his brother who nodded in understanding
"It's okay little brother,no need to bash your head in a wall because of that. Godric and I had a deeply competitive rivalry but we were very much friends" soothed Salazar and turned to Hermione
"I think you do not know any wizarding traditions do you ?" Hermione shaked her head negatively "I can still teach you then !" replied happily Salazar
"I think we need to go...my internal hour is saying it's lunch time !" chipped Leanne
"okay I won't hold you any longer,put the canvases in your trunks please ?" everyone nodded and said bye before leaving for the surface
"it was cool to see him,he isn't scary though ! Everyone make him scary but he isn't" whispered Hermione happily
"yea Uncle Sal is cool !" Iris giggled silently as they reached the Great Hall for lunch
The inter-house group sat at the Ravenclaw table and saw a peek of the wispy form of Helena watching them. Holly smiled softly at her and nodded imperceptibly,eluding a thousand watt smile from the female ghost. Iris saw the Bloody Baron looking at her with imperceptible soft eyes and an even softer smile,Iris eye-smiled and nodded before turning to her meal with a smile. She still kept an ear out for any conversation between the ghosts.
"Nick !" the Baron's raspy voice called out
"Yes Baron ?" replied the nearly headless ghost
"I hope the bet still stand because I found my soulmate before all of you !" chortled Lucas quietly
"dang it...we're going to call the ghosts and tell them to come with their soul mates if there is any one else ?" asked Nick,Baron nodded
"okay...we will do it tonight...dang it Baron..." muttered Nick playfully and left snickering a 'am happy for you Baron'
Iris smiled and tucked her hair out of her face to eat correctly. She had one of her soulmates with her in Hogwarts ! She whispered to her sister that they were going to have a visit tonights in their dorm. They giggled behind their hands and finished eating. The group left the tables and searched Rowena's chambers in the castle. Raven felt her magic guide her to a wall it seemed.
"wait...it's written 'school motto'... draco dormiens nunquam titillandus" the wall's bricks separated and opened to a bedroom with a sleeping portrait
"Row ?" tempted Corvus,nothing
Both Corvus and Raven touched the portrait gently and then Rowena Ravenclaw woke up. She took some time to adjust and process her surroundings but when she saw her younger siblings she gasped and almost tried to touch their faces,to assure herself they were really here and not a fickle of her imagination.
"Corvus,Raven...My Little Ones ? Is it you ?" the emotions in her voice where enormous and both siblings cried as they nodded
"Yes sister,it is us" replied Corvus with tears running on his cheeks and a hand softly placed on his sister's painted ones
"I wish I was still alive to hug you..." the painting sighed in remorse
"Hello Auntie Rowena ! My name's Holly and that's my sister Iris !" giggled Holly behind Corvus
"Hello Little One ! Wouldn't your father happen to be Jason ?" inquired softly a now smiling Rowena
"yes he is ! At least the one I took more from..." she shuffled feet to feet and smiled
"you are adorable you know that ?" asked a somehow purring Rowena
"yes Papa told me...and I have soulmates ! Only two but it's good enough ! Like Mama..." replied softly Holly
"whom are your soulmates ?" asked Rowena,interested
"mother hen" fake coughed Corvus
"I mated to Candy Pop and...hum..." Holly couldn't bring herself to say who the second mate was
"Who is the second mate Little birdie ? I won't say a thing about,only what I think and I will think before I speak I am not called Godric Gryffindor" Holly giggled and inhaled softly
"my second soulmate is...Helena..." she whispered softly the name and shook like a leaf behind Corvus
"Salazar,Helga and Godric owe me a dare of my choosing... I need you to know that I am a Seer,I can see to an extent the future and the soulmates of my daughter Helena was one but they are very vague... I saw a little redhead and a tall blue haired man but I only told that they were two to the others. So I know that and I know she will love you very much" said softly a sad Rowena that her heiress was shaking like leaf
"I am not mad,I am happy she can know happiness in a romantic relationship with her soulmates" assured Rowena
"thank you auntie Row" sniffed Holly and smiled
it's the end of chap 1,till next time !
