Harry Potter: Raised By Roses

Chapter Six: The Hogwarts Express

"Nope, sorry," they all answered.

"A tarantula," Melody raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious?"

"Please tell me that spider demon isn't still running around," Krinos complained. "Didn't we vanquish her already?"

"Considering the grimlocks came back that one All Hallows' Eve, who even knows at this point," Harry rubbed his temples. "Nobody ever stays dead anymore, do they?"

"Forgive him, he has a bad sense of humor," Melody told the redheads. "I'm Melody Gardna, and these are my brothers Krinos and Harry."

"We are the spectacular..." twin 1.

"...Devious..." twin 2.

"...And brilliant..." twin 1.

"...Fred and George..." twin 2.

"...Otherwise known as Gred and Forge..." twin 1.

"...Weasley," twin 2.

"I like you two," Harry chuckled. "Want to sit?"

"Why not," the twins shrugged. "Lee always finds us anyway."

That's when they noticed the animals in the compartment. Especially Selene, who was munching on some cotton candy Harry made sure to bring her.

"Is that a unicorn," Fred, or George, gasped.

"This is Selene, one of the last remaining moonlace unicorns," Harry told them. "I named her after the Titaness of the moon. My siblings also have familiars. Krinos's is his white wolf named Wolf and Melody's is a winter hawk named Frost."

"A wolf..." Fred, or George, started.

"...Named Wolf," George, or Fred, finished.

"Again, I do plants, not animals," Krinos crossed his arms, slightly pouting.

"He really does," Melody admitted.

"You're gonna do great..." George, or Fred, started.

"...In Herbology class," Fred, or George, finished.

"With how much time he spends in the garden, he could probably teach the class," Harry chuckled. "By the way, which one of you is which?"

"We don't tell," the twins stated.

Krinos and Melody shared a smirk.

"Challenge accepted," they stated, smiling.

That was when the redheads finally seemed to get the type of similarities they shared with the two silver eyed mystic souls. They sat down, next to them, putting their arms around their shoulders.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, fellow twins," they announced proudly.

"You know we aren't at the actual school yet, right," Krinos asked them.

"Details, details," the twins waved off.

The compartment door suddenly opened.

"So this is where you two disappeared to," a voice cheerfully said.

The twins smiled at the new arrival. He was a teen that was about two heads smaller than the Weasleys. He had dark skin with neck-length black dreadlocks. In his hands was a small glass cage containing a tarantula.

"You must be the friend with a tarantula the twins were looking for," Melody said. "Sorry for stealing them from you."

"Trust me, anyone that can handle these two are fine by me," the teen says, chuckling. "I'm surprised they haven't pranked y... Is that a wolf, hawk, and unicorn?"
