[font=century gothic]Cody was sleeping, Freddy, his twin, was snoring right next to him. The bed next to him of course. But something happened, and they jutted awake. Their hearts thudded, and as if it was a twin intuition, they looked at each other, simultaneously.

A series of consulting each other, trying to dilute the illusion that something bad happened. But in their minds, both thought that they were trapped. A bottomless spiral. A loathing for good futures seemed to be yet so far away.

But both had to be quiet, and to not awaken the other boys in their dorm. The Diggory Diggs was pretty scary if one of the boys were to wake up in the middle of the night due to noise.

Again, assuring themselves one last time before they went to sleep, they told each other that they were ok, their step brothers were likely alright, and nothing happened to their three parents. And Cody mentioned that he hasn't heard a scream from the Ravenclaw common room, and Page wasn't pounding on the Hufflepuff door. Meaning she was perfectly amazing and probably asleep.

So what happened? The twins fell asleep, but that rest was not complete without worrisome yips and tremors. They rolled around in their sleep, only to awake with a dorm mostly vast, except for Freddy and Cody.

They were lying on the floor. Well, kinda. Their legs were propped up on the bed, but their upper body, the torso and head were on the floor. They apparently must've rolled around in their sleep too much. Not thinking too much of it, they both dressed in identical clothes for the day. In Cody's favorite outfit, they both wore letterman jackets, slightly torn jeans, same style and color underwear, same color and cut socks, raked their hairs over to the right side. However... there was one way to identify who was who.

Cody had on a blue and gold letterman jacket, with his name emblazoned on the back, with a new addition... two wands clashing with each other, to signify Cody being on the Dueling Team. And Freddy? He had a purple and white letterman jacket, with his name plastered unto the right side of his chest. It was small, indeed, but what else did Freddy have on that jacket? A green ray from the wand.

If you happened to ask Freddy what that ray was, like what spell it was, he would act like he knew zilch about it. Cody knew, but he kept silent. As there were several spells that had a green ray for it's result. And so, for a brief minute, they were both going to run down to the Great Hall for perhaps a few minutes, grab something small to eat and to snack on, and an owl flew in. It proclaimed his birth parent's deaths. It was sent by Dylan Ramone, their new legal dad.

The letter read:

Freddy and Cody Stevenson, I am so sorry to break the news to you, but yet, I'm going to tell you before the investigator does... but seeing as you two are kids, or rather, juveniles in this case, I am not very sure if they will inform you of the unfortunate position you two are now on. But this happened at midnight. Jack told me that his ex wife decided to have a meet up at Argentina. But when investigators from the Ministry showed up at our door this morning, his face appeared rather somber. He held a letter with what the Ministry of Magic gather to have happened. So, without going into details, as I'll tell you when you are older...

Your father and mother got splinched rather badly and apparently didn't seek medical aid, perhaps on purpose, perhaps not. I'm not the investigator here. And... they died. I'm sorry to tell you this, but we are holding the funeral at Illivermony, I will personally pay for it, and well... I know you both might be happy at Hogwarts, and I strongly apologize for this, and I also told my five sons as well... I'm taking you both away from Hogwarts, and I'm going to have you both integrate into Illivermony. I know, I know. You both came from Boston Massachusetts anyways in the first place.

The funeral will be held in a graveyard your dad grew up near... in Boston. Oh please, don't hate me for doing so. Since I was married to your father, I also have custody over you, and I wish the best for you two. So, I'm moving all seven of you to Illivermony. Of course, It'll be a new site for me, and my boys, since we have always grew up here. I'm sorry about your loss. The fact you lost both of your parents.

I'm picking you all up after you all have supper in the Great Hall. Enjoy your remanding time at Hogwarts, please.

The letter finished being read, and Cody broke into tears. The thoughts of returning to America frightened Cody a little, and he was speechless for the rest of the day. Freddy and Cody packed up their belongings; crystals, books, textbooks, wands, underwear, shirts, robes, cauldron, pants, etc. But they didn't pack up socks.

They were sure that after what one of Harry's friend did, for SPEW, all these years ago, perhaps some of the house elves might enjoy the socks, but since Cody or Freddy didn't own the House Elves, they weren't going to be free.

They finished up packing up their belongings, but Cody still wanted something to remember Hogwarts with, and well, he did have some memories, some memories that made Cody feel.. sad. Sad to be leaving.

He carefully selected through anything that had to do with him getting detention at Hogwarts. Ah, a drawing of Cody and Darksea. And how he got detention at Hogwarts? Well... it was simple. With Darksea? It was his Morepork Owl that he had. He threw it at Lizzy Solace... oh how he got in trouble for it, but he also incited a duel the next day, angry at Lizzy. And that duel was started after a prefect (Willow Anderson) told him NOT to. And as a result for that detention, he was told to serve out his time in "jail" by scrubbing every last inch of the Dueling Club.

A mournful cry, and Cody was now prepared to leave, and as was Freddy. But what Freddy had as a memory from Hogwarts, was his sumo suit that he and his dad had. But wait! Who would take care of Darksea? Or take care of him? Deciding to give Darksea back to the shop, he decided to find his transfiguration professor. @Atticus Wade "Hey, do you mind taking Darksea back to the pet store at Diagon Alley? Please? Thank you." Cody said, his eyes showing full sadness, but he was ready to give up Darksea.

That being said, Cody and his six brothers all left Hogwarts. They were gone. The funeral was thrown, and Cody spent out the rest of his years at Illivermony. [/font]
