Hey guys, Butterlover328 here with the first revised chapter of the Potter Twins!! I know I've been telling you guys that I was going to revise and repost the first ten or so chapters of this story for ages, and now I've finally gotten off my butt and started to do it!! I've just finished the Prologue a few minutes ago, so my beta hasn't even seen the finished chapter yet. But I wanted to post something while I was on Spring Break, so I figured this would be the best choice since I've been busy. Hopefully I'll be able to revise the rest of the chapters in a timely manner so I can post them on a weekly basis like I used to, or at least a bimonthly basis. I want to get back to a regular schedule, but I just haven't had the time, so I'm hoping posting the revisions will get me back on track so I'm at least on a regular schedule for the rest of the school year and partway into the summer, which is when I get most of my writing done.

Anyways, that is what's been going on with me recently. I'm going to let you guys go so you can start reading the actual chapter. I hope to see you guys in a week or two with the next update, so I'll see you guys later. Bye!!

(P.S. Because it's the first chapter, I've got to include a disclaimer, so here it is. I don't own anything from Percy Jackson or Harry Potter. All rights go to Rick Riordan and JK Rowling.)

Harry and Percy Potter were always inseparable until the accident that claimed their mother's and stepfather's lives. The twins were almost completely identical, with messy raven-black hair and blue eyes that turned sea green for Percy and emerald green for Harry when they were eight months old. Their mother and stepfather sometimes had to use a spell to identify the twins when one of them needed something.

The "accident" in fact wasn't an accident at all. On Halloween when the twins were one, the darkest wizard of the times, Lord Voldemort, attacked the Potters. He was after the "Chosen One", the child that was supposed to be the end of him. What he didn't realize was that the prophecy was fake, and it was merely a ploy for an old coot to gain power beyond measure.

Right before the attack, the twins were watching sparks fly out of their stepfather's wand. Their mother watched the three of them in amusement, and saw the excitement in the boys' eyes as they gazed upon the wondrous sight. After a while, she checked the time and noticed that it was time to put the twins to bed, so she scooped up the boys and started to walk up the stairs, a content smile lazily lying on her face as she held her boys close to her, and she wondered if life could get any better than this peaceful moment.

All of a sudden, the door blew open and a dark figure entered the house. The twins' stepfather jumped up and brandished his wand, and he told his wife to take the kids and run while he held off the intruder. The figure smirked mockingly, sending off only a few spells at the man, killing him in seconds before he slowly ascended the stairs, as if to give the woman time to make fruitless attempts to escape.

Blasting open another door, he smirked as he saw their mother defenseless stretching her arms to shield her babies. She implored him to kill her and leave the twins alone, and the figure demanded for her to step aside, but when she refused to move, the figure grew frustrated and killed her, unknowingly committing the act that would lead to his downfall. Stepping over her dead body, Voldemort faced the twins. Wormtail had told him the one with emerald eyes was Harry and sea-green eyes was Percy, but Voldemort, who was colorblind, couldn't tell the difference between the two. Because he couldn't figure out which one was the child destined to end him, he decided to just kill them both and raised his wand at the boys. They were lying in their crib, their eyes wide with tears as they realized they lost something, but didn't understand what they had lost. The sight would have made almost anyone hesitate, and if Voldemort had a complete soul he probably would've paused at their expressions. However, since he had been corrupted by creation of his horcruxes, he just raised his wand again and said the words that killed many others before.
