Chapter 9: Big Red Two

Later that day Harry and Hermione returned to the Common Room not feeling Devin's abilities. “I guess it is safe to go in.” Harry gave the password and went in first to make sure Devin was under control and not about to hurt Hermione.

“Harry its ok, I hope.” Hermione saw that Monica and Devin weren't in the Common Room. “Where did they go?”

“I don't know, maybe Monica took Devin to his room.” Now Hermione took the lead, if Monica and Devin were alone, well, Harry didn't need to know. Knocking on the door no one replied, Hermione opened it and saw Devin and Monica curled up in a ball on Devin's bed.

“Wow, I guess we should leave them alone.” Harry and Hermione went back down to the Common Room. “Glad Devin is feeling better, poor Monica having to deal with him when he gets like that.”

“It's ok Harry she loves him, he is her Brother.”

“Yeah, he is lucky to have a sister like that, anyone like that, wonder what happened.” Harry and Hermione sat down on a couch in the Common Room.

“Don't worry about it Harry, if they want you to know they will tell you.”

“I keep hearing that, right now I don't know what is going on because no one will tell me. I want to know Mione, I don't like being kept in the dark, it isn't a good thing.”

“I'm sorry Harry but they don't want you to know so I won't tell you. I think you should either wait or ask Monica what is going on, if she wants to tell you she will, if she doesn't then she won't. But wait until tomorrow Harry; I want to have some fun.” Hermione smiled at him sliding down the couch to sit in Harry's lap.

That next morning Harry had gotten Hermione to go running before classes. “Mione I want to ask Monica but she probably won't tell me, could you please ask permission to tell me?” Harry didn't want to seem like he was nosy either.

“I could Harry, but if she doesn't want you to know…”

“Then she won't tell me I know but you keep things from me Mione, I don't like that, I don't keep things from you do I?”

“No, but still, you aren't keeping a secret for someone else, if it was about me I would tell you.” Hermione didn't want to talk about it; Harry was starting to get on her nerves. “Look how about we talk to Monica before breakfast?” They were on their eighth lap.

“Ok, I guess.” They ran twelve more laps before going to their separate Prefect bathrooms then met up in front of the Fat Lady. “Merlin's Hat.” The Fat Lady opened and the two teens walked in on an argument.

“I don't care what you think you shouldn't have done that Ginny!” Monica was up in Ginny's face. “It wasn't my fault you lost, I wasn't playing!”

“Neither was I!”

“You were supposed to be playing! You flew off, Harry got worried and looked for you, Hufflepuff started to score on us!” Monica was still in Ginny's face, neither of them paid attention to Harry and Hermione. “If you hadn't flown off Harry would have still been on the field scoring and you would have been flying around ready to catch the Snitch!”

“If I hadn't switched the teams around Ginny wouldn't have gotten mad in the first place!” Harry had to yell just so the two girls would hear him.

“Stay out of this Harry!” Ginny spat at him then turned back to Monica.

“No Ginny I am the Captain…” Harry had said the wrong thing.

“You're right you are the Captain, I should be that! If Monica had done what she was supposed to I would have been Captain! I would have been the youngest Gryffindor Captain in history! Instead she decides to let that Jim kid play and let you beat me!” Ginny was still upset over that.

“Ginny I'm sorry I never thought he would beat you, he never played Chaser before so I figured you would have beaten him without me cheating for you.”

“Oh so I'm so bad I was beaten by someone who never played?! I'm such a horrible Chaser that an amateur could beat me?!”

“That's not what I meant Ginny.” Monica was backing off; she didn't need to make Ginny any madder at her.

“That's not true though Ginny, Harry has played Chaser before.” Hermione decided to get involved in the argument. All three teens looked at Hermione; Harry didn't know what to say, Dumbledore had told them not to tell anyone… “There was something that happened over the summer, we aren't allowed to talk about it, but Harry has played for Chaser, has trained for it; he was kind of cheating making you think he never played Chaser.” Ginny stared at Hermione then at Harry.

“I was finally going to beat my Brothers at something but no can't let Ginny have that can we! All my Brothers have done something great, Head Boys, Prefects, Quidditch Captains, making money through a business, but I was going to do something better then them just once…” She stared at Harry some more, purposely leaving out what Ron had done. “I was going to be the youngest Quidditch Captain in Gryffindor history, finally better then my Brothers at something. You don't know how it is to compete with older siblings, always being in the shadows, I hate being the youngest!”

“I'm sorry Ginny I just wanted to know about Monica and I…”

“You want to know about Monica! FINE!” Ginny grabbed Monica by the head and kissed her hard. “There, happy!” Ginny stormed to the girl's dormitory leaving behind a very shocked Harry and a very embarrassed Monica.

“But, but, uh, but…” Harry just kept stammering. “But Devin, isn't he, your, not your brother, but like me and Mione did back in uh, well.” Harry hadn't expected that, none of his guesses put that redhead and blonde together.

“You told him about me and Devin?” Monica had gotten over her embarrassment and was staring at Hermione.

“No he put that together by himself, he thought you two were together, I swear Monica I didn't tell him.” Hermione hadn't told Harry about any of it, Monica asked her not to, and Monica had kept her secret with Harry before anyone else found out so she was going to keep Monica's, until now. “I guess there is no point in not telling Harry though, now.”

“Harry you're right Devin isn't my Brother, but we aren't together like that. We grew up together, I was best friends with him and his Sister Sandy, he and Sandy were best friends with me and my Brother Gordon. Devin and Sandy got in a fight over me and Sandy left the house, Devin found her dead, snapped, caused a riot, and the Republicans have been after him. Well, I thought that was when they started going after him, but it turns out they killed Sandy and made it look like she killed herself, Devin said that but I never believed him until recently. During the riot the Republicans showed up trying to capture him, they killed Gordon, they killed Devin's parents, so my Mom took me and Devin over here after Dumbledore agreed to take us in.”

“It's where I got the idea to make us Brother and Sister, Harry. They were doing it here so when we were in, you know, I suggested us to be Brother and Sister.” Hermione went over to Harry and took his hand.

“But, you two, wait, you mean you and, what?” Harry was trying to put things together in his head. “Devin and Sandy were fighting over you, as in, being together?” Monica nodded. “But how? Devin is careful not to feel anything, if he felt like that about you wouldn't it you know, affect his abilities?”

“It wouldn't have then, he could control himself, but when he found his sister dead he broke, he couldn't control them.”

“So when your Mom said you had a problem…”

“I don't have a problem!” Monica cut Harry off in mid sentence. “God I hate this place, at least in America it wasn't considered evil to be what I am, you people are so in the Dark Ages still.” Monica went to a chair and sat down trying to keep herself from crying.

“I don't think you have a problem, I guess, just not normal. But I thought Ginny was straight, she had a crush on me, then she was with Dean, and other guys.” Harry's mind was still trying to figure it out.

“Well I don't think she is like me completely, maybe just bi, or she was doing it to cover up like I did before I told my Mom the truth.” Monica thought of that argument she had, her Mom had never hit her before but when she told her Mom about what she felt for other girls her Mom hit her hard, it was one of the worse days of her life.

“Bi? What the hell does that mean?” Harry thought about it. “Never mind I don't need to know. I'm sorry I was so nosy, I didn't mean to make you two fight.” Harry felt guilty about the fight, if he hadn't been so determined to find out what was going on he wouldn't have done that stupid bet with Ginny.

“Ginny is just in a mood, she got so upset when she didn't win the bet, didn't become Captain, she had to compete with her older Brothers, most of them anyways. She would finally get to beat all of them by becoming the youngest Captain but I didn't go through with the plan, I never thought you would beat her.” Monica looked towards the entrance to the girl's dormitory. “Can I go check on her? And Harry please don't tell anyone about me and Ginny, or me and Devin, it is supposed to be a secret but more people keep finding out.” Monica bit a fingernail in worry.

“Of course I won't tell anyone Monica, you're a friend, so are Ginny and Devin, I'm sorry about your Brother and your friend, and I don't think you have a problem.” Harry's mind was finally coming together. “Uh you have been alone with Hermione a lot, in places, uh, you don't like, you know.”

“No Harry I'm not a fucking monster or something, we are friends, she is madly in love with you and I love Ginny.” Monica was a little put off by Harry's comment, she had heard all the jokes and put downs before, all the rumors, just because she was the way she was people thought she would get with anyone. “I need to check on Ginny.” Monica went to the girl's dormitory and checked on Ginny.

“Harry that was rude.” Hermione was staring at Harry. “Don't you think I would have told you about that?”

“No, you hadn't told me anything about anything!” Harry was stuck in between two emotions, guilt and anger. “I'm mad that you didn't at least tell me about Devin, but I can't believe Monica and Ginny, what the hell is that about?” Harry was uneasy about that, he had heard of it, and well, being a guy that was a fantasy, two girls, but in the real world it was very strange to Harry.

“Harry I thought it was strange to, at first, but they love each other so really I won't say anything about it. Don't say anything about it, like Monica asked, and I mean nothing. No slip ups, no dropping hints or anything alright Harry?” Harry nodded; he didn't want to make any of the girls mad. “And nothing about Devin, you might want to tell him you know about him now but no one else!”

“Alright Mione I won't say anything I swear.” He sure didn't want Mione or Monica mad at him, and Ginny, she had enough problems.

“Good, and don't let me catch you thinking about them.” Hermione smiled at Harry.

“I won't, why would I when I have something better to think about?” Harry was glad the mood was lightning up. “But still, Ginny, it just seems so strange, she had a crush on me, or Dean, they seemed pretty serious, kind of.” Harry remembered how Ginny would look at him; follow him, what had changed?

“I don't know Harry, I had fun with Krum but I kissed you on the cheek after our 4th year.” Hermione blushed a little, she felt bad when she first did it but then Krum sent the letter where he was breaking up with her.

“Women, you are all strange, at least we men tell you how we feel.”

“Like you did with Cho before the Yule Ball?”

“Be quiet Mione.” Harry made her be quiet by kissing her. “I did ask her though, a little late, but I did ask her.” Harry didn't want to think about Cho, she had been a great Quidditch player, a good friend, but now she was gone, because of Ron. “We need to get to the Great Hall for breakfast Mione.”

After breakfast Harry had class, with Monica and Devin. Harry felt uncomfortable around them now, he hadn't told Devin that he knew yet since they had classes and he didn't want to tell Devin that he knew about him and Monica, or Monica and Ginny, with others around.

When Harry got out of the last class he found Devin. “Devin we need to talk, about something, meet me in our dorm room in ten minutes alright?” Devin just nodded and walked away.

Ten minutes later Harry met Devin in their dorm room. “Devin I just found out about you, this morning, and I just wanted to say I won't tell anyone.” Devin stared at Harry making Harry's skin crawl.

“Like Monica wouldn't tell anyone and yet somehow you, Ginny, and Hermione all know.” Devin wasn't happy about this, he was able to keep the secret, why couldn't Monica? “Is that all?”

“Well no, Ginny kind of told me about her and your Sister, well, Monica this morning.”

“Was that what all that yelling was about?” Devin had heard them yelling but couldn't tell what it was about. “Well Harry that secret you better keep, Monica may not be my Sister but I care about her, a lot, and if anyone hurts her I will kill them.” Devin said it in such a monotone voice Harry wasn't sure if he was kidding or just that cold to killing someone.

“I won't, besides, who do I have to tell? Neville? Luna? Dumbledore? I don't think I am going to be telling anyone about that Devin, about anything.” He might have told Ron if they were still friends, but they weren't.

“Luna's fine, she already knows about Ginny and Monica, but not about me and Monica.” Devin was giving off his emotions making Harry feel upset and mad at the same time. “Don't you dare tell anyone else though Harry, if a Death Eater found out about me, who I really am, the Republicans would come here and I don't want that.”

“I'd be more worried about the Death Eaters, think what Voldemort could do with you, especially after what you did to his followers a few months ago.” Harry wanted to end the conversation and get away from Devin, his abilities were affecting him.

“Voldemort has what, a few hundred followers, maybe a thousand or two, Dick Cheney has over forty million followers, sure they are the most ignorant, brain dead, stupid people of the country but an army of brainless zombies forty million strong is still an army.” Devin had dealt with the Republicans, he knew how evil they could be, and they had killed his sister. “I don't even think there are forty million people in England, is there Harry?” Harry shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know, London was a big city; it could hold a lot of people. “Go away Harry I need to clear my mind.” Harry left quickly glad Devin had let him go.

That night Harry was tired, he had new information in his head he was still going over. Devin was sleeping already not moving or making any noise, unlike Neville who snored. Harry missed Seamus and Dean, and even Ron, the Ron that he knew. Harry started to drift off, his eyes closed, and fell asleep.

“Stop it, I don't want to!” It was the girl from his dreams! He hadn't seen this girl for a long time, why had she come back now? “Go away!” She seemed to be running away from someone, who he couldn't tell. Harry started tossing and turning in bed, this dream, or nightmare, was affecting Harry. “No!” Harry saw a red shadow fall over the girl then everything went black for a few seconds before a redhead popped up in his dreams.

“Hello Harry, long time no see.” It was Ron! Harry wanted to say something, do something, but his dream wouldn't let him. “You like what you just saw? Little bitch is promised to me, part of the deal I made with the Dark Lord, I gave up Cho but I got something much better.” Ron showed the girl unconscious on the floor. “I can't believe my good fortune Harry, I am rich, powerful, and can have anyone I want! I am you without all the goody two shoes bullshit you do. So Harry, have you considered the Dark Lord's offer?” Harry tried to yell at Ron, why couldn't he say anything? “I'll take that as a no, you really should though Harry, the Dark Lord is willing to make a deal with you, he will give you what you want if you kill Remus, everything you ever wished for.” Ron smirked at him then showed Harry what he truly had wanted, wished for, for years.

“Mom, Dad?” They looked real, but this was a dream, wasn't it? Or was this like his visions during the summer before his fourth year? Was this real? Was Ron really talking to him? Were they really his parents, moving, looking alive?

“That's right Harry; they are alive, for now. How the Dark Lord did it I don't even know, but he wants to make a deal with you Harry, he will give you more time to consider the deal, until then they,” Ron pointed at what appeared to be Harry's parents, “are going to be taken care of.” Ron laughed then turned back towards his parents. “Harry you could have a real family again, we could be friends again, just kill Remus and accept the Dark Mark and you will have your parents back, your Brother back.” Ron went back to the girl still unconscious on the floor. “Now I have something to do.” Everything went black again.
