6 Twins

Stepping into the warehouse I looked over at the two kids who looked to be about ten years old and noticed my staring was making them uncomfortable as they stood up and the boy stood in front of the girl protectively. Stepping forward I raised my hand in greeting and introduced myself, only to not receive any words in reply.

Coughing into my hand I introduced myself as Wulfric and asked for their names in reply. "Hello, my name is Wulfric Wolfsbane I am a teacher at a boarding school would you mind telling me what you two kids are doing in this run-down building by yourselves?" instead of receiving an answer they said, "why are you dressed like that and why do you have a sword?"

Taking a second to think about my answer I realized that I should just tell them the truth. "I am a teacher at a boarding school, and I teach swordsmanship to students who wish to take my class, now that I answered your question would you be kind enough to answer mine?" glancing at each other the boy simply said they were hiding.

"Hiding from what" I asked "from the men in suits" was they reply I got. Taking a seat on the floor across from them I asked them to start from the beginning so that maybe I could help. After listening to their story, I got an idea of what happened to them. "What are you two planning to do now that you successfully got away?" not receiving an answer I said "How about coming with me to the school I teach at and you two can join in when you turn eleven which is when you will be eligible for your first year.

"What kind of school do you teach at?" Gaining a smile on my face, I pulled out my want and transfigured a broken box into a plush looking chair and said that I teach at Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry." "We can learn magic?" "Not right away you will have to train for a year and undergo a trial, you see, normally you would be able to receive an invitation because you would not be able to awaken your magic naturally?" 

"What do you mean?" "I mean that there are three kinds of people in this world, first we have what magical people call people without any magic, muggles. They are your everyday normal people that go their entire lives without encountering anything magical.

Second, we have squibs, they usually have magic but in a very limited capacity where they can see magical things but not use it due to their magic being locked away. Third, we have witches and wizards who start showing magic at the age of seven with a phenomenon known as accidental magic, which is as its name implies accidentally casting magic with no control of what happens, understand?" nodding their heads in a positive Katrina asked, "which one are we?" "You both are squibs which means you both have magic its just locked away and you are not able to utilize it due to you both not having a lot."

"What would we have to do in order to be able to use magic" they asked with their eyes shining, which brought a small smile to my face. This was the first time since I met them that they acted like kids. "Well first you would need to build up your bodies, I won't sugar coat it, the process is painful and there is a small chance of failure.

I will teach the two of you swordsmanship, bowman ship and hand to hand combat to build up your bodies for about a year, when the year is up you will have to go into the forest and hunt a dark creature and bring it back where we will process the parts for the potion needed to become a Witcher. 

"Witcher?" They asked "a Witcher is what I am I magically modified person who was a squib or muggle that went through a painful process to unlock their magic. A Witcher has heightened senses and a stronger body than a normal wizard which is why I like to fight with a sword in one hand ands a wand in the other. It gives Witcher's an advantage over today's magical fighting style.

When I finished my explanation, they grew apprehensive after learning they would have to hunt what was basically a monster to ten-year-old kids. Noticing their apprehension, I told them if they would like I could train them for a year and let them decide if they wanted to take the test after they gained more confidence.

As they both walked off to the side to speak privately to each other to come to a decision I let them get their privacy by not listening in. when they walked back my way after a couple of minutes, I could see the determination burning in their eyes and smiled. "so what do we do now?" They asked me "we will find a forest and begin your training for the next year.

At the end May we will head back to Hogwarts where we will begin your studies and continue your training until July." Now that Voldemort was dead, I suspected there to be more children showing up after Christmas break. 

As we gathered their belongings, I walked them outside where Stella was waiting and gave them an introduction. After they got over their excitement of seeing a giant white wolf, I started off in the direction of Thetford forest to train them in survival and combat for the seven months.
