The Potter Twins: Heroes of Two Different Worlds

Chapter 8

Hey guys, Butterlover328 here with a quick note about this chapter. I know it was unanimous in the comments about keeping Neville, Hermione, and Draco normal wizards or legacies, but I had written this chapter before that decision was made and I am exhausted. My Mom took us Whitewater Rafting today and made me run a couple miles as well, so I'm going to be sore tomorrow. (That's also why the double post didn't occur earlier.) I'll edit this chapter along with the rest of the book once I finish writing the story arc for Philosopher's Stone, so that will be sooner rather than later. Hope you enjoy the double upload!! Bye!!

"You idiots!! How could you have thought going to the forbidden corridor was a good idea!! Harry, I know you were dragged into it, but Percy, you should've known better!! You're lucky neither of you got killed!!" Hermione was hysterical after the twins had told their friends about their escapade the previous night. 

"Sorry Hermione, next time I decide to do something stupid, I'll bring you along as well so you can tell me how idiotic a decision it was to do it, alright??" Percy snarked, not in the mood for the blatant 'I told you so' attitude she was showing. "But that reminds me Harry, how did you know it was a Cerberus??" 

Harry's cheeks flushed and he ducked his head. "You'd think I'm crazy if I told you." 

"Oh come on, we won't think you're crazy." Draco spoke, not liking being kept out of the conversation.

"Oh alright. Before I knew I was a wizard, I would go to the library and read a lot of Greek Mythology. It seemed really interesting, and I got so absorbed in my reading that I started imagining that the creatures in the stories were real."

The rest of the group's heads snapped up, before simultaneously stared at Harry. "Say that last part again??" Hermione asked, eyes widened in shock and realization.

"I started imagining the creatures I read about in Greek Mythology were real. Why?? Is it true??" Harry asked uncertainly.

"Many creatures that are said to come from Greek Mythology are in the wizarding world, but normally they are very rare and hard to find. However, powerful wizards in history have had the creatures attracted to them. I have seen quite a few myself, but didn't bother mentioning it until now." Draco said.

"I've seen them too!! But nothing as powerful as a Cerberus. The most I've seen are giant dogs and snake ladies though." Neville spoke up.

"They're not only in the wizarding world, I've seen quite a few in the muggle world as well. Although most muggles aren't able to see them." Hermione's mind was going a million miles an hour.

"When I was in elementary school in America there was this guy stalking me on the playground. When I saw a glimpse of his face, I only saw one eye in the middle of his forehead." Percy said.

"Wait, a cyclops was stalking you?? Why would that be??" Hermione pondered.

"I don't know, but I switched schools after that incident." 

"Maybe it's all connected. When Percy and I got sorted, the hat was talking about our 'kind', like we weren't completely human." Harry said.
