Hear no Evil

I'm Binky Duelle, identical twin brother to Duke. We're 17 years old. In our 7th year in Hufflepuff. I'm deaf and he's blind.

Things were going to great for her. Almost as a dream with how happy she was about everything with Duke. And like a light switch it was done, gone and out. Felicity wasn’t sure how to feel about it. About opening up and taking risks. She she proud, happy for herself. Though when it was all for nothing but the small little heart ache rushing through her she lost the small silver lining for a second. Looking up from where she was seated she hoped to have the shuffle of feet be followed by a tap but nothing. Though it didn’t stop her hunt for distraction. “Hey, you wanna do something? Anything? … Please?” She added a small smile for extra measure.

Binky had just spotted Felicity and couldn’t help the smile that came onto his face. It was just an automatic reaction whenever he saw her. Even though he knew that she hadn’t spotted him yet, he still responded to what she had said. “With you? Of course!” He laughed. He saw her smile, but could tell that sh didn’t really mean it. He was good at reading people, and he could tell that she was upset about something.

Roxanne let out a giggle at his response. “See, the classes are supposed to be my favorite part– you know, the whole Ravenclaw thing?” She grinned, leaning in closer to him, “But I’ll let you in on a secret. I don’t even like the homework and lessons that much.”

[hear-no-evil-binky]

Binky did a fake gasp. “A Ravenclaw not liking homework? Are you sure you’re in the right house?” He laughed. Although he kind of liked how she admitted it. It made her different from the rest of her house who he felt tried to hard to like school sometimes.

Secrets don’t make Friends//Fel&Binky.

Felicity felt horrible. Here she was breaking all her rules kissing a boy, going on a date and she hadn’t even bothered to tell Binky. Worst of it all was it was his twin brother. Maybe duke said something but she doubted it. Which only left her with one option… tell him herself. Felicity knocked first. In case JJ, or Duke were in there they would hear it. Waiting for a few seconds she knew that wasn’t the case. Looking down she smiled once she figured out the door was unlocked. Poking her head in she smiled waving over at him. 

[hear-no-evil-binky]

Binky had been sitting around trying to get done the summer reading that he’d put off until now. So, he was happy when he saw Fel because that meant a distraction from work. He grinned and waved back, “Hey! I feel like it’s been forever since I saw you.” He smiled, quickly standing up and making his way over to her. He pulled the door open and then gave her a big hug. “Come on now, don’t be a stranger!” 

[notyouraverageravenclaw-blog1]

“Oh, no.” Roxanne began, shaking her head excitedly. “I love the Olympics, though they are a tad bit too dangerous. One of my best friends is even competing. I just… I miss everyone. I miss the people, and the castle, and the chaos and noise of it all. My house is just… so quiet.” 

[hear-no-evil-binky]

Binky thought to himself about how he wished his house as quiet. But he could understand how it felt to miss Hogwarts and all his friends. “Yeah, I miss it too. Just not the classes part.” He joked. 

[stanton-portia]

“I tried that.  But feel free to have a go. I can only hope your luck will be better than mine.” 

[hear-no-evil-binky]

“Ehhh no thanks.” He shrugged. “I’d much rather just go somewhere with less.. People.”

[notyouraverageravenclaw-blog1]

Lifting her head up from where it had been resting against her folded arms, a testament to her boredom, Roxanne addressed her companion. “Just hear me out. I’m not saying that I wish summer would end faster, but I do wish we would go back to Hogwarts sooner. And before you say anything, it’s not a Ravenclaw thing. It’s just…” She paused, letting out a sigh. “Just a boredom thing.”

[hear-no-evil-binky]

It took Binky a moment to even realize that the girl was even talking to him. But when he did, he as a little offended. Now, he didn’t make it obvious that he was deaf so he couldn’t really blame her for the ‘hearing’ comment she made.And he was focusing to much on the fact she said that and just barely kept track of hat she as saying until the end. “What, are the Olympics not enough for you?”

[stanton-portia]

Portia laughed at the boy’s comment.  “Becuase when idiots are in lust they have to put on a constant display to the rest of the world in order to validate to themselves.  It’s positively barbaric,” she replied with a sigh.  

[hear-no-evil-binky]

“That’s true.” He nodded, “Should we hex them?” He asked in all seriousness.

Party Like It’s Ya Birthday (flashback)// Binky&Duke

[outofsight-outmymind-deactivate]

Climbing out the window, Duke wondered if this was what freedom felt like. However, he fought the urge to over-dramaticize and over-romanticize his feelings, as was his usual tendency. It wasn’t like they’d never sneaked out before, but this felt different. This time, it felt like they’d never have to come back if they didn’t want to. “First, to eat. Because pretending to eat a plate a chicken doesn’t fill up like actually eating food.” Marmaduke also wanted to make sure that he wasn’t hungry when they did the activity he’d been looking forward to: cliff-diving. He hadn’t told Binky about the plan, but he figured his brother would be down for a fun surprise.

[hear-no-evil-binky]

Binky couldn’t help but wonder if this would be the last time they’d ever be at their house again. They had plenty of clothes to lat them a few days, and then after that they could always buy more. But, if they did come back to the house they would most likely never be able to leave again. Not even for school. But he couldn’t think about that right now. “Yeah, I’m also pretty sue it was probably poisoned. So it’s a good thing neither of us ate it. “ He laughed. “Where we going?” 

[stanton-portia]

It was quite a nice summer day in Hogsmeade, the sun was shining, it wasn’t too hot, and lots of people were out and about.  However, Portia’s mood did not mirror the weather.  She was irritable and the sickening levels of happiness that seemed to be swirling in the air were only making her mood worse.  

What was particularly annoying was the plethora of couples that seemed to be out and about.  Two people holding hands here, a couple kissing there, it was nauseating really.  One couple strolled past, and for whatever reason, they really pushed her buttons.  Wanting someone else to share in her misery, she whipped out her wand and mumbled a spell causing the girl to stumble.  However, her plan backfired, as the girl’s boyfriend caught her and pulled her into a disgusting embrace.  

“Ugh couples,” She groaned. 

[hear-no-evil-binky]

If Duke really thought that he didn’t know there was something up between him and Fel, than he was dumber than Binky. He didn’t exactly know what it was yet, but he kept picking up things from his brothers thoughts. Just bits and pieces though. Ever since then though, all he saw was couples all around him. It made him frustrated because even though he hadn’t even been sure how he felt about Fel, it made him angry that neither of them had told him yet. 

He had looked over just in time to see a girl say something. Although he couldn’t agree more with what she’d said and couldn’t help but laugh. “I know. I just can’t hep but wonder why they can’t all go somewhere more private.”

Party Like It’s Ya Birthday (flashback)// Binky&Duke

[outofsight-outmymind-deactivate]

Marmaduke was shocked by his brother’s reply, but when Binky motioned to the window, he knew Binky had something up his sleeve. The sight of the chipped lock made Duke burst into a huge grin. He looked outside the window longingly before turning back to Binky. They were practically free men. “Never thought I’d say this, Binks, but you’re a genius.”

Marmaduke grabbed the bags and tossed one to Binky. They were a little heavy, but maybe all those years of “training” had actually given him a little muscle. Doubtful. Alright, it’s now or never. Duke placed his hand on the window lock, ready to give the last tug and break it. 

[hear-no-evil-binky]

He smirked towards his brother. “Well I’ve gotta use my brain sometimes.” He laughed and then caught the bag his brother had tossed him. They bother knew Duke was usually the brains, coming up with the plans after Binky had an idea. But every once in a while Binks had to do something smart. 

He waited behind his brother while he broke the lock. He kept an eye on the door, just in case their mother burst in. Although he wouldn’t let that stop them. And once Duke got the window open they were gone. “So, where to now?”

Party Like It’s Ya Birthday (flashback)// Binky&Duke

[outofsight-outmymind-deactivate]

Binky’s heavy breathing led Duke to believe his brother’s escape wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. He decided it would be best not to mention it, and Binky didn’t leave any room in the conversation in case he’d decided otherwise. “Packed and ready.” Marmaduke moved over to the bed and lifted the bed skirt to reveal two full duffle bags. “I figured if we were going to have to pay for our freedom, it might as well last for a little while.”

Duke faced Binky again. So how are we getting out of here? He didn’t want to ask the question aloud, just in case Mother was listening in. It would be naive of him to assume escaping for this adventure would be easy, but Marmaduke knew for sure it would be worth it. After all, they had survived for 18 years against the numerous obstacles their mother had tried to throw in their way. I can try and work on the cameras if we need to.

[hear-no-evil-binky]

He grinned when he saw the bags Duke had packed for them. Binky knew that they were going to have fun, but now he knew that it might be for longer than he’d expected. “Hell yeah! I mean I think that we deserve it.” He laughed. 

No, no. She can watch us leave. It wont change how angry she’ll be. He told him. It was the choice. She was going to be furious no matter if they left the cameras on or not. And anyway, he’d been planning their escape much longer than even his brother knew. Go check out the window. He said to Duke with a smirk. He’d been slowly breaking the lock whenever his mother was to busy to check in on him.

Home Sweet Home || WC

Binky had been sitting in the kitchen, waiting for Duke to finish breakfast when all of a sudden he felt a tug on the back of his shirt, pulling him out of his chair. He stopped the connection to his brother, he didn’t want him to go through whatever he was about to be put through. Mother loved to try and push them to their limits and see just how far she could go before they broke. Sometimes she would keep going just to see what would happen. 

Soon he found himself in the downstairs laboratory. Really it was just a basement that had a bunch of sciency stuff in it. The upstairs of their house had been made into the same thing. She’d made two just to work on both the boys at the same time. Usually the downstairs lab was just for Binky, and the upstairs was for Duke. But on the occasion that she works on both of them simultaneously, she put them both upstairs because it was bigger.  Although both of them was just as terrible. 

Binky knew it was better not to resist the restraints that she put on him, seeing as he hadn’t found a way to escape them yet in all of these years. “Sweety, thank you for being such a good boy.” She signed and then patted his face. He spit at her, even though he knew it would only make her angry. But he refused to allow her to believe that he actually enjoyed this, or worse, that he actually liked her somehow. “This is all for your own good, so you better behave now.” She told him with a sickly sweet grin, right before she hit him in the head with her clipboard. 

He was actually quite surprised that she learned sign language. Although she had tried for years to restore his hearing, but nothing had worked. She had just done a simple learning spell on herself to help her but still. It could almost be seen as a nice gesture, if she didn’t try to hold it above Binky’s head to make it seem like she actually cared about him. All the time, even know she tried to make him do stuff for her ‘in return’ for her learning sign language ‘for him’. It never worked though. 

“Now Binks,” She started but was quickly interrupted. 

“I never said you could call me that.” He said almost a growl. But she just looked at him from the corner of her eye before returning to looking at her clipboard. The comment didn’t matter to her and he knew that she would continue to call him whatever she wanted. 

“Now Binks, how’s school?” She asked even though he knew she didn’t really care. It was all just part of her “control questions” that she asked every single time. 

“It’s fine.” He told her, even though it wasn’t fine. Many of his teachers had told him that if he didn’t do better than he wouldn’t be able to graduate. But his grades didn’t matter to him all that much since he was never even sure if he’d be able to go back to school the next year. Whether his mother would just force him to stay home so she could do experiments, or she would finally just go to far. 

“Oh really? So then you’re getting good grades, participating-” But Binky cut her off before she could continue. He knew all of her questions and just wanted to get through them. 

“Please don’t make small talk with me. It doesn’t make it any better.” She just looked down at him and wrote something down before she continued with her questions.

“Alright then Binks, have you maintained synchrony with Marmaduke?” She asked and awaited his response even though he already knew the answer. She was always watching them, watching their every move. She would video tape them while they slept so she knew all their sleep patterns and if they tried to leave the house while she was asleep. She knew everything so he always found these questions pointless. 

“Yes but you already know that.” He said leaning forward a little bit before plopping back down. Binky hated being restrained, he just wanted to get it all done and over with already. 

“Have you been dieting and exercising like you’re supposed to?” 

“Of course.” He said rolling his eyes. Neither was true, seeing as he doesn’t exercise and doesn’t diet. He eats whatever he gets his hands on. Mainly because he refuses to eat anything she gives him, and he doesn’t have money to provide food for himself. So during the summer he mainly just goes hungry except when his brother makes the food, or if his friends offer him some. 

“If you keep lying to me there will be severe consequences.” She warned him, he went to open his mouth to respond but she cut him off. “It doesn’t matter anyway,  I’m upgrading you and your brothers tolerance to pain. But it’s going to be in a way that doesn’t exactly involve science.”  He didn’t know what she meant until she started. “Crucio!” She said, tapping her wand to his forehead. He coiled in, but the restraints stopped him from moving very far. He knew that he had to warn Duke, but it would have to wait until he wasn’t in pain anymore, which might be a while. “This is hurting me much more than it’s you sweaty. But don’t worry, Mommy will make the pain go away soon.” She cooed almost affectionately. 

“You’re not my mommy.” Binky said with the last bit of strength he had.  

“And that is where you’re oh so wrong. But it’s alright because I love you anyway.” You could almost believe her. And a few years ago he actually might of. But then she tapped his head again. “Crucio!” And he knew that the only one who loved him was his brother.

Party Like It’s Ya Birthday (flashback)// Binky&Duke

Marmaduke tapped his foot impatiently, as he waited for his “twin.” It was their 18th birthday, which meant everything. They were adults, they were legal, and to celebrate they were going on an adventure. Duke wasn’t exactly sure what that adventure would be, but he did know it was long overdue. He’d been pretty tightly wound lately, having been at home with Mother and then having to deal with the whole Felicity situation. So when, Binky challenged his ability to have fun, Duke knew it was time for a change.

As he stood in the room, mentally willing for Binky to show before he got tired and went to bed, he opened his eyes and found himself staring at the door. Binky was here. “About time, Binks. Where’ve you been?”

@hear-no-evil-binky

[hear-no-evil-binky]

Binky had been looking forward to this day for well, years probably. But, recently him and his brother had made a plan to go on an adventure. He was excited to see his brother let loose a little bit, and hopefully not be as safe as he usually was. First though, he had to get away from Mother. He’d been running through the house, having just gotten out from the upstairs laboratory, and was heading towards their room. But he knew that she was watching him, she was always watching. 

But he made it to their room, panting heavier then he would like to admit. He smirked at his brother before replying. “Where do you think?” Although he didn’t bother waiting for a response, knowing that it would be pointless. “Are you ready to go?” 

[knowledgebeyondmyreach]

Gwen groaned, “Maybe. How has the rest of your summer been, Bink? You have anything to keep yourself entertained other than the Olympics? I’ve found it’s all horribly dull except for that.”

[hear-no-evil-binky]

He laughed a little. “Yeah the Olympics are really the only interesting thing going on right now.” He shrugged. “Although I’m always on the look out for something fun.”

This...

[xx-felicity-blog]

Felicity sighed softly feeling another tear go when he saw past it and just shook her head “Just boy troubles.. And I don’t know. I’m honestly so confused. Just ..boys I’m fine though.. Promise.”

[hear-no-evil-binky]

Binky was confused. Boy troubles? Did that mean she liked someone? He couldn’t help but wonder who it was. “Well you’re crying which generally means that you’re not fine.” He told her. “I’d be willing to listen, if you want. Maybe give you some insight on the male brain.” He said trying to be light-hearted about it all. 

[outofsight-outmymind-deactivate]

Duke rolled his eyes. “What matters is that you put yourself in that situation, and you wanted to get-” He interrupted himself with a sigh. “You are positively insane, Binky. What sort of clone goes off to do something like this?”

[hear-no-evil-binky]

“Oh loosen up Duke,” he tried laughing it off. “At least I know how to have some fun.” He teased. 

[pete-jete-blog]

Of course Felicity was worried. No doubt she was joined by several others who really shouldn’t waste their time, but that couldn’t be helped. “Uhm… thanks,” PJ said, unconsciously starting to pick at the edge of his sleeve.

[hear-no-evil-binky]

“Yeah no problem.” He told him, not really sure where to go with this. “Um hey, be careful alright? Don’t do anything stupid.” Binky told the other boy. Really he was just telling him that because he knew that if he got hurt Felicity would be really upset.
