The Durmstrang Potter Twin

Back to Hoggywarts

Tara's POV
Hundreds of students flooded past the gates of Hogwarts as we all went back in. I saw the Durmstrang and let go of  Sirius's hand with a tiny scream of happiness to see my friends from the north again. I ran up to them and they turned to me and grinned as I leaped at them one by one with huge hugs. After I finally hugged the last one (gods there was a lot of them) I went to Sirius who had walked over and stood next to him as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. After sitting down, we ate, laughed, talked and joked, until the topic of the break came up.
Gideon and Fabian Prewett, who I had met along with their little sister Molly had asked me the question.
"How was your break Tara?"
A silence went over the table. The Durmstrang students had been notified that I had been injured over break and they definitely didn't want to mention it, in case I became defensive suddenly. Lily, Sirius, Remus, Tonks(who had taken to sitting at the table with us), and James were all paralyzed in fear of my reaction.
I just shrugged and said," Can't remember most of it, honestly. I was out for... Three day? Right Sirius?"
He nodded.
The twins, brutally blunt as usual, quickly asked," What happened?"
Molly smacked them both over the head(earning me a whole lot more respect for her) and hissed," You don't just ask a question like that you idiots. She could be traumatized." She looked at me," Sorry about them Tara. You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."
I laughed and waved her off," Molly, Molly. It's fine. No need to attempt to kill your brothers over here. I was injured fighting against some Death Eaters and a snake. The snake caught me off guard after I blew up the wall. I made a stupid mistake. Happens sometimes. But it does earn you some nice scars. Gonna have this one for a while."
I lifted my shirt up to show the pink- white scar on my stomach. Probably would be another month or two before it went away. Fortunately, it wasn't swimsuit season. Molly gasped at the sight.
"Oh you poor thing!"
I chuckled," I think it's neat. It kind of looks like a cat."
I went on to point out the whiskers, nose and ears of the cat before stopping when food appeared on the table. I licked my lips at the sight of the food. Boy was I hungry. I had spent the whole day before working out and passed out after that, making me miss dinner and breakfast. I had flown here so there still wasn't any food for me. Which was unfortunate. I dug into the mashed potatoes and steak and ate quickly and not so politely. Hey I was hungry. After receiving several judging looks I finally finished and sat back munching on a piece of chocolate that had appeared with the dessert.
We all happily skipped up to the Gryffindor tower, where I had taken to sleeping in the girl's dormitory with Molly, Marlene and Lily. Tired and ready to go to bed, the girls and I sleepily made our way up the stairs. I laid down on the bed that I had conjured and was out like a light.
It was about midnight when someone woke me up by opening and closing the door. I sat up quietly and recognized who it was.
"Sirius? Are you okay?"
He walked over to me shaking his head," I just had to make sure you were okay."
I looked at him quizzically," Why?"
"Just a nightmare I had. I already made sure the guys were fine, I just had to come over here to make sure you were fine."
I sighed and scooted over in my bed," Come here."
He looked at me, confused," Not to offend you or anything but why?"
I yawned," Because I don't need you continuously waking me up tonight. Come here and go to sleep."
I caught a flash of teeth as he smiled and whispered," Alright."
Once he got under the covers I scooted closer and laid my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I laid an arm over his well muscled stomach and calmly waited for his breathing to even out. Then I slowly drifted off breathing in his scent.

Lily's POV
I woke up and, rubbing my eyes, headed for a shower. After I got out of the shower was when I noticed them. Molly and Marlene were quietly awwing at the two of them. Tara's head rested on his chest and his face was buried in her hair. They both looked so peaceful and calm. I grinned and, after slipping back into my pajamas because we sixth years didn't have class today, ran over to the boy's dormitory and woke James up. He woke up and rubbed his eyes before putting his glasses on after stabbing himself in the eye with them. He yawned and squinted.
"That my shirt Lils?"
I nodded and grabbed his hand, dragging him out of bed and up to the girl's dorm to show him Sirius and Tara who were still asleep. James sighed and smiled softly at them before looking down at me.
"They're cute."
I nodded," They are."
I stood on my tip toes and gave him a quick kiss before we walked down to the common room and sat on the couch sharing a few kisses and talking.
