Ever since Noah was pulled out for such a minor, yet alleged, threat. Because there was no true and evident way to prove that the threat existed. Especially since Noah ran into the wall, not intentionally of course. His dads were outraged, and worried more for Noah's safety. Of course, Noah didn't tell them about the spin the bottle and truth or dare because his fathers clearly did not approve of him kissing or doing dangerous things. What they always said when Noah would ask why, was... "Because you're not like your twin (Billy), Wally, or Theodore. So... please don't go down a bad path like them. I know we adopted you all, but we hoped you all would be good kids, good people in the future."

Instead, he had to go with his dads, as he left. But little did he know that later on... he would be returning... but why? Well, lets go back to when he got home, teardrops streamed down his face. It was sad. He didn't want that to happen, and he was actually enjoying himself being at a school of wonder, of amazement. Sure, Potions was difficult, but was it truly that hard? It was like cooking, just a little teeny tiny bit different. But Herbology was amazing. He felt he might be a great Herbologist- or whatever they're called, in the future. And his dads had to take him away.

He ran to to the boys room, which was only a 80 square feet room, and looked at the cracked mirror by his bed. Was he worthy of being a starstruck wonder for the world to gawk at if his dads had to dictate everything he was doing? No. Was he worth his cape? His headband? No. He sobbed loudly and heavier. He knew full well that his other brothers, except his twin, were at Hogwarts, not at home with Noah. Just as he took off his headband and threw it, Steve came in and saw it. Saw the headband, that he paid most of his galleons for, hit the ground. It seemed to have hurt him.

He came over to Noah, looked him in the waterlogged eyes, and asked him what was wrong. "DAD! I had a future! A boyfriend and a-"

"Wait. A boyfriend? GARY! GET IN HERE!"

Gary came in, stumbling around, his arms and hands filled with everything that Noah had packed for Summer Camp, and for his schooling, his second year. Let's not forget to mention the giant head stickers of Noah that no one seemed to want for Summer Camp. "Yes? What's the emergency?"

Steve responded, "The emergency is that Noah got a boyfriend!"

Gary didn't look shocked, or impressed. Just, slightly amused. "Son. Do we need to have The Talk?"

Noah shrieked at the sound of The Talk. He certainly did not want to talk about The Birds and The Bees. "Dads. Please. I didn't mean to blurt that out. I know why you pulled me out. And I don't like that. Can you two respect my opinion? And well, don't talk about Michael?"

"Michael? Huh, I once dated a guy named Michael when I was at Hogwarts. I was your age, and well, he was a rather strapping young man. You know what? Let's respect your opinion. I'm sorry for pulling you out." Gary said, his eyes a bit dazed, perhaps from thinking of Michael.

The dads walked out into the kitchen, but apparently since the house was a bit shoddy, the walls also seemed to be paper thin. Cody could hear the two arguing in hushed whispers.

Over dinner, which consisted of Fish and Chips, as well as Shepard's Pie. A drink that went with that was simply just water. Nothing big.

The four were silent while eating dinner, creating a very awkward atmosphere, and it took only half an hour until the first word was finally uttered. "If you both can go half a year without being cruel, being bullied, get caught up on your muggle homework, then we'll send you both off to Hogwarts. Just remember, in this six months, act like a muggle! Don't show your magic to any muggles. And if you two do so much as sling spells at each other, then I will personally make sure you both never return to Hogwarts." Steve said.

Both Billy and Noah gulped. They nodded quickly in shock then after dinner, they went outside, and talked quietly.

Billy started off. "Listen here, Dork. What the hell did you do that was so severe?" Noah looked around.

"Billy. Promise you won't tell anyone?" A nod. "Okay, so, I was dragged out over an alleged threat. And then once I got home, I kind of spilled the beans about-"

Billy interuppted. "Your boyfriend. I know. To be fair, I have told Gary, or rather, dropped hints about this, to him."

"Hmm, that does explain why Gary wasn't suprised. But Billy. What did you do that was so horrid for them to have you at the house? Aren't you like- violent. And they don't usually care? Hell, you even light some books in a muggle bookshop on fire on our break! Thank god no one was there, except us."

"Pfft! Burning books are so much fun! I wish I could do it again! Um, well, I may have gotten my first detention for practicing Incendio Duo on hair in the Great Hall. I wanted to see Hades! Anyways, shall we go sleep? We can wake up tommorow morning, go to school, and then come home, do homework." He winked at the mention of homework to mention that Billy wasn't going to be the one to do that, it would've been the doppleganger.

Noah sighed. "Okayyy but, if I do your homework, then I want you to do something. Be nice to me. And I'll get us a game to play!"

"Hey, go give Mario a get well card. But, because, Noah, I don't want you to be sick, I am giving both you and Billy masks." Steve said.

Billy and Noah gawked. "But but, I thought Covid ended!"

Gary looked at Noah. "Yes. It did. Mario has a flu, but I'm taking you two boys to Hogwarts today, and I don't want to have to make you two upset that you two missed your chance to go to Hogwarts, because of catching such a thing, as of the Flu."

Both nodded. A get well card was put into Billy's hand, as well as a paper mask. For Noah, he had a mask with marvel characters on it, the fabric.

It was done. It was finally done. After dropping the card off on Mario's doorstep and ringing the doorbell, both returned back to their house, and packed up everything they could in their bags. And by the end of the day, they arrived to Hogwarts.
