Chapter 1- The unfunny prank of Fate

April 1, 1993

It was April first, Fred Weasley was sixteen today…

Well he and his twin were, yes, George. They were so alike in both looks and mannerism even their own mother had the impossible task of trying to figure out which was which. After sixteen years he guessed she was sick of trying to, thus they were treated like the combined entity Fred and George. Since she never was sure who left things like trick wands around she'd punish both of them.

It was simple really when you thought about it, George was the studious one. Studied came to easy to him, he could have gotten straight O's if school wasn't boring. George was always reading and experimenting; while he was always flirting and trying to convince some to try a new product. George was still a virgin, he knew it as surely as he knew that despite their talent at Quidditch like Charlie they wouldn't be devoting their lives to it. They had Plans!

He rose feeling the sun waking up and it seemed to both rush and tip-toe over the horizon. Sending out beams of golden light to blot out the darkness and the setting stars. He could feel the wind and the direction it was blowing, you could almost taste it. He could smell the earth; he could almost hear it growing.

Now that was odd…

To feel and know things like that, it wasn't like him. Not at all…

Sure he thought mandatory schooling was a bore and that he'd rather be out there doing things rather than sitting and be lectured all day. Still, there hadn't been a Weasley or a Prewett who'd dropped out or been expelled in at least two and a half centuries. They'd had two Head Boys, a Head Girl, Prefects and two Quidditch Captains in their family. That was just in the last two generations or so…

He felt the magic radiating out the castle and the earth, the living nature of the wind; it felt like the life's breath of the Earth, nothing would live without air.

What was wrong with him?

As he stood at the window, a rush of wind hit his body and magic just flowed into him. There was a ripple in his body and suddenly he was three inches taller, his shoulders were wider and his wavy red hair was suddenly long. He could feel it brushing his lower back. He conjured a floating full-length mirror.

He was six feet tall now, his hair was more blonde then red which was odd. His eyes were the colour of the sky on a clear day without a cloud in sight. He was long and lanky, like Bill. Maybe like Percy, only taller and a lot more muscle…

He'd heard vague references to magical inheritances, some received a large amount of magic, which made them more powerful magically, and some received a creature inheritance. It was interesting because he didn't know what magical 'creatures' were amoung his antecedents. He wished they were on speaking terms with his grandfather, surely he would know.

To avoid over breeding within 'pureblood' circles every once in a while they would tie their blood and magic to an Elf, a Veela, on exceedingly rare occasions sometimes a vampire, sometimes a more exotic mating like a goblin or a fairy. Although rumour had it that the O'Shanesey line had a leprechaun ancestor. Besides the influx of new blood, it also brought an infusion of fresh but ancient magic. Fergus, that annoying git had graduated with Charlie and good riddance was the son of a daughter of the O'Shanesey Family. His cousin Seamus was a more amiable fellow who was in his younger brother Ron's year.

He could hear stirring from George's bed, he wondered if the time had finally come when they would grow to become different. He glanced back as George sleepily stumbled out of bed. George was not and had never been much of a Morning person. Fred was surprised as George tugged off his nightshirt.

George was willowy? His shoulders weren't as broad, his hips were wider of all things, what? His skin looked thicker, his eyes appeared sharper, as did his teeth. He smelled different too, not that he was in anyway interested in his twin, he wasn't bent thank you. Not that he disliked bent wizards; he was suspicious that Charlie was though he'd only caught him looking. He KNEW Percy was, all those not very subtle longing glancing between his brother and his captain before last year. Who the hell did Percy think he was tossing over Oliver who was the kindest of blokes- off the pitch of course for an ice queen like Penelope Clearwater? He wouldn't touch her with a ten-metre broomstick. He'd slept with a lot of girls but he wouldn't even cast an eye on someone like Head Girl Clearwater, she was so fact and rule obsessed that she was bloody boring. What had happened to Percy? He NEVER used to act like such a Ravenclaw. Now he was embarrassed to share blood with him.

George yawned at him, and then padded off on bare feet towards the bathroom.

Which reminded him, he needed to brush his teeth, wash his face and piss something awful.

He summoned his toothbrush and headed to the boys bathroom that they shared with the sixth years.

The boy's dormitory had four bathrooms, three of which were shared by a set of two years. No more then ten boys to a bathroom in theory. The prefects and seventh years shared their own bathroom. The Head Boy if he like Percy was a Gryffindor would have his own bathroom. They had their own suites or apartment that had an entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room through one of the many portraits.

After accomplishing his business, Fred continued to compare the changes between himself and his twin. George hadn't gained as much height- maybe an inch, which made him suspicious, wider hips and willowy frame despite his naturally muscular body, and height, which they inherited from their father. George looked like a mixture of Bill and Percy; he had more of Bill's height and muscular build but the slight frame of Percy. If Percy was bent, he had to be the Keeper in the relationship. He couldn't see Oliver bottoming to anyone; he shook his head before turning to brush his teeth. Both their teeth were blindingly white, George's looked sharper, while his skin wasn't its normal pinkish colour it had darkened and its freckles didn't stand out as much. His own skin was paler and the freckles had lightened to be neigh invisible, one had to look hard to see them.

Their days of being completely identical were over, and it saddened him. There were Glamours of course but it felt odd to be so drastically different, their identicalness had only ever been skin deep. They had different interests and strengths, even on the pitch. They worked well together, what George lacked in strength he made up for in speed.

He sighed and then smiled nudging his twin, "Look, we're finally different."

George blinked, suddenly awake, "We're what?"

Fred was torn between elation and regret, "I'm taller and broader, and you're slimmer, like Percy. I'll probably end up taller. What do you think?"

George looked at their reflections, "I wanted to be different but academically not physically. What happened?"

"Magical inheritance." Fred said simply, "I think it's partially a creature inheritance as well. Not sure what we are exactly but its sort of cool." He flexed, "a girl gets a look at me and I'll have them fainting at my feet or at least drooling."

George scoffed, "You and your womanising, playboy ways. Why bother with bedding every girl in school because of your bad boy ways when Angelina already worships the ground you walk on. Lee's always moaning because she's waiting for you stop being thick."

Fred reached over to ruffle George's thick wavy hair, it was a bit shorter then his but still had waves in it while his was straight. "So, who are you interested in? I've never seen mooning over anyone bloke or bird."

George winced, "Just because I don't chase every skirt like you do…"

Fred nodded, "So you liked someone taken."

George shook his head, "I'm not interested in anyone."

"Like Charlie then."

George's eyes widened, "I'm not like Charlie…"

Fred was suddenly suspicious that George was more like Percy then he'd admit, George was the brainy one, the good one leaving him to be the bad boy of Gryffindor and the lady killer. Was he also bent? That would make him as different as could be.

George swallowed, "Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?" Fred asked innocently.

"Like you're trying to read my mind. We maybe twins but even I might have things I'd like to keep to myself thank you."

Fred nodded, "Suit yourself, you know I'm always around to listen right?"

George smiled, "We're twins if we can't share our secrets who can we trust?"

Add another good quality to George's list; he was also the wise one. George came up with most of their product ideas and tried to make them work, it was himself who was the silver-tongued salesman of the two.

He'd have to look up what he was, surely in the vast Hogwarts library he'd discover what he'd become through his inheritance. He was sure the reason that those with magical inheritances at sixteen didn't become adults was because it took a year at least to learn to harness the magic they gained. Magical children usually accumulated their magic slowly but were prone to uncontrolled magical incidents. Which is why young magical children didn't often mix with Muggle children, because it was too difficult to explain things. Thus magical children often had play dates with the children of their parents' friends. They'd grown up with Cedric, they had cousins near their age well older really between Percy and Bill's at- at least he thought so through their uncle Cadmus who was Dad's younger brother. He didn't even really know them…

Mum's brothers Fabian and Gideon didn't have kids either so it was sad that they weren't close to the only family they had.

Fred finished his toilette and went to dress; he'd slip into the library before breakfast.

He made his way to the library and went through the stacks; he found an old book called, "Magical inheritances." He sat down an the empty table near the shelf he'd taken the book from, he glanced at the era equivalent of a table of contents and located what page the creature inheritances fell under. Fred was curious, he had no idea what George was but it was George's right to figure that out himself and decide whether or not to tell him.

He was skimming through the pages when the sketch of a tall slender but clearly muscular individual with long straight hair caused him to stop to read.

Daoine sídhe or daoine sìth

Sídhe are a rather secretive race. They are said to live underground in the fairy mounds, across the western sea, or in an invisible world that coexists with the world of humans- which scholars have debated may refer only to the world of Muggles. Those who have lived amoung the Sídhe claim that they also live in Crystal caverns the are alight with light and music.

There are two different types of Sídhe that we know of, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. The Seelie mostly ignore humans even Wizarding folk unless they are interested in them or have suffered some offence. They treat humans as a lesser intelligent pet that is only worth of so much attention. While a member of the Unseelie Court is more likely to play dangerous pranks on humans that might end up killing them.

Sídhe are considered by many Wizarding scholars to be a part of the Fae as are the dwarves of Germany. Fae are known to be fickle, helpful one moment and threatening you with poisoned knives the next. The mischievous Unseelie are said to create the so-called fairy rings that make you dance until you die because you literally dance your feet to bleeding stumps.

A sexual relationship with a true Sídhe exists as long as the Sídhe is interested; often a relationship is a result of a kidnapping or a seduction. If the child born of the union isn't a true Sídhe both human parent and child will be abandoned wherever the Sídhe chooses to abandon the person they are no longer interested in.

The magic of the Sídhe like that of Veela and Chuvash are said to choose whom to manifest in. In the case of Prewett twin Ambrose and Branor, Branor was a Sídhe while Ambrose was merely a powerful wizard.

Those with Sídhe inheritances will be highly mischievous, very handsome, prone to have an insatiable sex drive, rarely cleave to one partner, are capable of being highly persuasive often being drawn to politics and law where their persuasive natures are very useful. Weaker persons of Sídhe inheritances may find they make excellent peddlers.

Highly powerful Sídhe born of wizards maybe taken to the court they descend from be it Seelie or Unseelie. However depending on what caste they are determined to have descended from will determine if they shall be accepted at all. In the Seelie Court they will be of them and not, whether they are tolerated is determined by their place in the caste. They have some ability to come and go as they please if they have control of their elemental magic. In the Unseelie Court however they may not be treated well at all, an Sídhe born of a human will often find they are in grave danger and are unable to safely leave.

Those with Sídhe inheritances often live longer then those of other Creature Inheritances. A Chuvash might live to be over two hundred while a Sídhe might live to be nearly two hundred and fifty or even longer. Like Chuvash, Sídhe tend to have strong constitutions. Sídhe are very close to nature and often raise unicorns, Abraxans or even hippogriffs. Others raise púca- a four-legged creature that appears as a dark colt or a bullock, kellaths- a large black cat with a white spot often likened to a star on its breast, Cù- large dogs like Grims only with dark green rather then black fur about the size of a small bull calf and a long braided or curled tail. Some also are known to grown rare plants used in potions and are sometimes keen researchers though not strong with practical experimentation.

True Sídhe have dislike of iron, which manifests in wizards with Sídhe inheritances as an allergy similar to that of werewolves and silver. Exposure to iron in large quantities either by ingestion or skin contact can cause a host of debilitating reactions to near-coma like sleep, exhaustion, lethargy, rashes, burns, inability to breathe, bruise-like patterns and even arthritic like bone and joint pain. As well as diarrhoea, stomach pains with vomiting or severe or persistent nausea. Some experience swelling of the mouth, a sensation of burning, numbness, or tingling; chest pain; fainting; loss of consciousness; severe or persistent dizziness, headache, or light-headedness; fever seizures; shortness of breath; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet. Rare but not uncommon reaction can be a slow, fast, or irregular heartbeat. To a Sídhe wizard iron is a poison to be avoided at all cost. Must be wary of foods with natural iron; avoid red meat as well as dark green vegetables such as spinach. Wizards with Sídhe inheritances should also avoid smoking tobacco. The smoke is known to cause similar reactions to ingesting iron.

There are a variety of Sídhe one could be descended from such as, a Gancanagh- from Irish: Gean Cánach meaning "love talker", is a male faerie known to Irish Wizarding folk that is known for seducing human women. The Gancanagh are thought to have an addictive toxin in their skin that make the humans they seduce literally addicted to them. The women seduced by this type of faerie typically die pining away for the Ganacanagh's love or fighting to the death for his love- some claim because of withdrawal. Another is a glashtin who usually appears as a dark, splendidly handsome young man, with flashing eyes and curly hair, capable of alluring women with their looks. The leannán is a beautiful woman of the Sídhe who takes a human lover. Lovers of the Leannán sídhe are said to live brief, though highly inspired, lives. Also known as the Leanhaun Shee (fairy mistress) seeks the love of mortals. If they refuse, she must be their slave; if they consent, they are hers, and can only escape by finding another to take their place. The fairy lives on their life, and they waste away. Death is no escape from her. The moura encantada is a Magical Being native to Portugal and Galicia. They often appear singing and combing their beautiful long hair, golden as gold or black as the night with a golden comb, and promise to give treasures to whom sets them free by breaking their spell. In Galicia, though, they are more commonly redheads. Mouras encantadas are magical maidens who guard castles, caves, bridges, wells, rivers, and treasures. They tend to enchant or capture men who interest them; they may if their fancy decrees 'marry' the captured man. If the spell is broken and their interest has not waned, they will remain with their lover on terms of marriage until their interest wanes.

Nymphs are also numbered amoung the Fae but are not necessarily part of the Seelie or Unseelie. However Nymphs are a different breed of Magical Creatures, but Veelas are claimed to fall under this group.

The Sídhe of the Seelie Court are known to seek help from humans, to warn those who had accidentally offended them, and to return human kindness with favours of their own. Still, a fairy belonging to this Court will avenge insults and could be prone to mischief. The most common time of day to see them is twilight.

The Unseelie Court of the Sídhe consists of the malicious and evilly inclined fairies. Unlike the Seelie Court, no offence is necessary to bring down their assaults. As a group (or "host"), they appear at night and assault travellers, often carrying them through the air, beating them, and forcing them to commit such acts as shooting elfshot at cattle which causes them to sicken and often die. Like the beings of the Seelie Court who are not always benevolent, neither are the fairies of the Unseelie Court always malevolent. However, when forced to choose, they will always prefer to harm—rather than to help—humans. Wizards may and often are capable of repulsing them so humans most likely to find themselves at the mercy of Unseelie are Muggles. Some of the most common characters in the Unseelie Court are Bogies, Bogles, Boggars, Abbylubbers and Buttery spirits.

The division into "seely" and "unseely" spirits was roughly equivalent to the division of Elves in Norse mythology, into "light" and "dark" distinctions. Like all Fae, the Sídhe amoung the Seelie Court can be likewise divided into good and evil or more accurately into Light and Dark. Of those recounted amoung family oral or written histories the Fae depicted seem preoccupied with the character of the humans they encounter. They have been known to test a person's character and reward or punish as they see fit. While there is little way to tell the difference, some claim that only members of the Seelie Court travel with bells. This belief has not been supported or unsupported so believers might discover the truth of this to their own peril. Seelie Sídhe are said to be protecting and drawn to Rowans while Unseelie Sídhe are said to avoid them, again this has not been found to have support.

One should always be aware of gifts one receives from a true Fae. Being born or magically inheriting abilities are very different from being granted them when one is of age. This may account for the stories of benign or malignant half human-half Fae 'monsters' who are at turns helpful or vindictive as the mood suits them. Gifts of gold from the Fae often revert to their original form, which can be leaves, gorse blossoms, gingerbread cakes, or a variety of other comparatively worthless things.

Nearly all Wizarding folk who receive Sídhe inheritances are male, however there have been a few females- the females are often describes as Nymphets because of their insatiable sex drives. The female Sídhe are likely to conceive and then abandon both child and lover because the drama of childbearing drives away any affection for their lovers. By contrast, male Sídhe are known to dote on their children, and may stay with the bearer of said children until she passes on leaving him free to find another lover. Unless of course there is a deep bond between the Sídhe and his lover, which is rare for most Sídhe are incapable of cleaving to one lover in their lifetime.

A Sídhe wizard will likely find they are extremely skilled at charms and some times Glamouring or Transfiguration. Those with Sídhe inheritances may find human Transfiguration such as becoming Animagi far easier then for a normal witch or wizard. Often manifesting in the ability to shift with some effort into more then one animal or bird form.

It is believed that Wizarding folk who are Metamorphmagus are a result of breeding between changlings and wizard Sídhe. They have the ability to change their appearance to either male or female, alter both the length and colour of their hair at will. Are also known for their love of spying, secrets and pranks. They also may acquire the ability to transfigure themselves into more then one animal or bird form. They are not anymore then wizard Sídhe a true Animagus, it is merely a manifestation of their natural magic. However, they may find they can transform with more difficulty then a wizard Sídhe but with more ease then a wizard Animagus.

A changeling is a child born to true Sídhe that is exchanged for a wizard or Muggle child who more often then not have offended a Seelie Sídhe. However, there have been a few instances where the child has been taken because it was admired. Beauty in human children and young women, particularly blond hair, attracted the fairies. If the child is taken before birth the changeling will be born with a caul, a translucent covering over some part of its face. Changelings are said to become seers for they possess 'second sight'. Changelings are notoriously short lived, not seeming to last long into adulthood. They tend to 'disappear' without a trace, leaving an empty bed or discarded clothes. They are said appear pale and thin, the human world doesn't seem to allow them to wish to stay long. Perhaps, they merely return to the world of their Sídhe parents.

On some occasions instead of a faerie child being left the faeries will leave a doll made of sticks and grass that is Glamoured to look like a human child. These are called fetches and usually have a very short life span. it is thought that infants who don't survive long after birth may in truth be fetches and no true child. If there is no child born though all symptoms of pregnancy are observed, it is be concluded that the parents have in one way or another grievously offended a member of the Sídhe who have taken their child without offering another in return.

Faeries will also sometimes take people who are older into their realm. Usually they do this if a specific quality about the person catches their eye. Once in the faerie realm, humans are usually made servants. Since time passes differently in Arcadia, which is said to be the Seelie Court's name for their realm, their faerie master determines how quickly they age. As children they usually just play while the faeries watch. When they are older they may be made a hand servant, an entertainer, a lover, or even an ornament.

The magic of the faerie world changes the nature of the humans taken there so that, even if they do manage to escape, they are no longer fully human. The type of change that happens to them depends on who their master was and what they did while in the faerie realm. They almost always have a weak to intermediate grasp of faerie magic when they leave, with the ability to glamour and do other things.

Some Wizarding scholars believe this is the origin of the emergence of magic in humans and thus Wizarding folk's magic is akin to that of Fae's. Especially, since Wizarding folk can accomplish similar magic such as charming, transfiguring, conjuring and Glamours. It would also explain why Wizarding folk can and have intermingled their magic and blood with those considered to be part of the Fae such as nymphs, elves, Sídhe and Veela. Some claim Harpies, sylphs and sirens also are part of the Fae as are Selkies. Lilin, which manifest as Succubus and Incubus are said to have sexual relations with those whose dreams they haunt are believed to be Fae. However, they are said to be unable to bear children themselves. Some believe that they are the same creature, that they are sexually flexible. Which may explain how sheltered young women who have never lain with a man can spontaneously conceive. Though the Lilin are incapable of reproduction it is said that though the seed, which impregnates them, may have come from a human, exposure to the magical nature of the Lilin that preserves the seed can give rise to persons of great magical abilities. Merlin was said to have been born of a virgin Veela who had dreams of sex with a handsome and powerful man. No father was ever determined…likely his 'father' was a member of Lilin who stole the seed in the guise of a succubus and then used it to impregnate his Veela mother while inhabiting the form of a incubus.

This was sounding more and more like himself; he was a member of the Fae? He hadn't even know there were Sídhe in his mother's family but what was the probability that the Prewett twins mention in this article weren't related to him?

His trick wands sounded like fairy gold, having the appearance of something useful and then becoming something worthless. His innate love of pranks and trickery was something that George didn't share to the same degree.

Oliver had Elven ancestors who were also part of the Fae, did that make them more closely related then he'd thought? Not as related as they might have been if Percy hadn't been so heartless, what had happened? They went from best friends to Percy couldn't stand the sight of him. It wasn't like Oliver was the cheating type, what terrible thing could Oliver had done to make Percy hate both him and Quidditch so much?

As for Glamouring it would be easy to glamour his appearance to keep his Sídhe inheritance to himself. He felt that there was danger near and revealing his inheritance might be injurious to himself. Especially, considering his allergy to iron being so detrimental to his well-being.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N: Perhaps, I was a bit too informative about the Fae or the Sídhe but obviously the book Fred was reading was meant more for adult then a student. Well, that should answer everyone's curiousity about what exactly Fred's inheritance is. We all know that George is a Chuvash.

For those wondering, nothing too terrible happened to George. There is a reason his Chuvash didn't emerge completely, no Dumbledore didn't have anything to do with it. It's a sort of defect, he's neither fully Chuvash nor fully human. I suppose you could consider them hybrids. However the Chuvash claim them as near Chuvash and they fall under their laws. They have all the instincts of a true Chuvash; they prefer rare meat, are more fertile when they are 'in heat', are exceptionally talented at flight, are accomplished at Transfiguration and speak Parseltongue. the only difference is that they can't assume the true form of a Chuvash where they resemble a humanoid dragon. Nor can they as few Chuvash can assume the form of a true dragon. It must be remembered that only extremely powerful Chuvash can. It is as they would say the Mark of the destined King of the Chuvash. So one must assume that Sirius I can transform into a dragon however it is something he would not do in the presence of wizards or witches who are not Chuvash.

I'm sorry I haven't been responding to reviews here as well as I would like to. I do read each and every one. Thank you for the prank ideas I will be sure to include them. I hope you all like my 'director's cut lol with additional scenes from Unlikely Heroes. Love you all thanks for readomg!
