Mind Games

"Just…just hear me out" Harry said as he leaned forward "Dumbledore needs you as you're the boy-who-lived, but he can't have you getting too powerful and out of his control. That's why he kept you busy with presents and the Weasleys instead of letting you practise, and he put that block on you as well. As for your mental blocks, they were to stop you from noticing when Dumbledore reads your mind"

"Dumbledore reads my mind?" Adrian gulped

"I think he does, that's probably why he blocked off your natural defensives. Even if he doesn't he still has Granger and Weasley"

"What...what do you mean?" Adrian wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer

"Granger's mind is basically an open book" Harry replied "it's well organised but that just makes it easier to read. As for Ron, his thoughts are so simple, also easy to read"

"Wait, you've been reading our minds?!"

"Only did it once" Harry put his hands up "I had just learnt how to read minds and was experimenting with different people, it was in first year, I haven't done it since. Mostly because I didn't ever want to go back into your friends mind"

"What why?"

"Let's just say that your best mate is a bit of a pervert" Harry replied "anyway, even if he doesn't read their minds there is always the possibility that they spy for him"

"No" Adrian shook his head "they wouldn't do that"

"Wouldn't they?" Harry asked "There is a great way to make sure, I can read their minds and find out if you want"

"No, no you can't do that" Adrian refused

"If that's what you want" Harry sighed "but long story short, last time you stayed over I snuck into your room and started removing the blocks. I finally had them removed the day before we had that conversation, that was part of the reason why I had that conversation with you. Your mind was clearer, better than before. Before you would've just shouted and stormed off, but you actually listened to me"

"How…how did you know I had blocks on me?" Adrian asked curiously

"I can't say, it's not that I don't want to, it's just I can't say."

"Why not?"

"It's a secret that can only be talked about with those who know the secret"

"That….is stupid"

"Hey" Harry laughed "I didn't invent the rules. Are you mad at me?"

"For what?"

"Taking those blocks off you without your permission? I would've asked, I just figured you wouldn't have believed me"

"That is true, and while I don't exactly like the fact that you didn't ask me, I do understand"

"Oh look, a full sentence, you are smarter" Harry joked

"Yeah and you're still a prat" Adrian replied

"I'm starting to like you brother" Harry admitted as he stood up

"You too" Adrian stood up as well, the two made their way out of the room "where's Ron?"

"Probably stealing some food from a dog or something" Harry shrugged, the two boys walked down and did not like the sight in front of them.

Their mother had bent down to get something off the floor while Ron was staring at her, he was so immersed that he didn't notice the two Potter brothers sneaking up behind him.

"Hello Ron" Harry clamped a hand on his shoulder

"Hi Ron" Adrian clamped a hand on Ron's other shoulder

"We need to have a talk with you, don't we dear brother?"

"Yes big brother, I believe we do"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" A confused Ron asked

"Let's go upstairs and we'll explain" Harry smiled evilly

"Yes, lets" Adrian returned the smile. The two then dragged Ron upstairs.

"Found it" Lily stood up and handed the twins one of their fake wands

"Thanks Mrs Potter" The twins thanked her

"Don't worry about it, although next time I might just summon it, saves my clothes from getting dirty."

"Why didn't you?" Ginny asked

"Muggleborn, we're just used to doing stuff like that" Lily brushed some dirt off of her clothes "hmm, where's your brother?"

"Ron?" Ginny asked

"Yeah" Lily nodded

"Well, your sons" Fred started

"Are taking him upstairs" George continued

"Maybe to beat him up"

"Maybe to torture him"

"Maybe even to kill him"

"Though the last one is wishful thinking"

"Can I ask why?" Lily asked

"Let's just say that it is very well deserved" Ginny replied

"Yes" Fred nodded "very…"

"Well deserved" George finished.
