This story was written by me and a best friend, we are not JK Rowling, or anyone associated with her, therefore all characters and associated themes, are all hers. Other characters such as Kitaria and Gwen are two of our original characters.

Kitaria and Guinivere Vance were fraternal twin sisters in an orphanage in the outskirts of London. The two were inseparable like best friends but they still fought like sisters always do. Kitaria was the taller one, she was skinny, golden skinned, had gold eyes, and brown hair. Guinevere was curved and more muscular than Kitaria, she was an average height, had short spunky blond hair, a fair complexion, and hazeleyes.

Kitaria, or Kit as she liked to be called, was very laid back, but adventurous, street smart, and was very, very sly, which also led to her always finding ways to break the rules. Guinivere, sometimes called Gwen (but usually hit whoever called her that), always has to be doing something, whether it be reading or running, but she was also adventurous, she was more book smart, honest (most of the time), and not one found to be breaking all of the rules, unless it was to bail Kit out of trouble, which usually was about once or twice a week.

On nice days, both could usually be found outside either tanning, which Kit was much more fond of than Guinivere, or playing some sort of sport, which Guinivere was much more fond of than Kit. Their favorite sport, Frisbee, they would play rain or shine and day or night.

Kit was an average student in the nearest public school, while Guinevere was an anal straight-A student. Although both were very nice people, they had limited friends because of the odd things that would happen to them or those around them.

At the public school the orphan children attended, Kit predicted the untimely demise of the class gerbil, Bob. When Bob met his ending two days later, Kit was accused of killing him. Guinevere knew Kit would never do that. When she asked Kit how she knew Bob would die, Kit exclaimed that the gerbil was complaining of respiratory problems. After Gwen did a full autopsy report on Bob, everyone realized that Bob died of an asthma attack.

Gwen's experiences were much different. She could decode anything better than a cryptographer, and credited it all on a book she bought called A Beginner's Guide to Ancient Runes.

On their eleventh birthday, after a heart filled argument of who stole whose shirt, two owls came into the kitchen of the orphanage and left two letters. They were each parchment envelopes with a purple wax stamp on the back, which had a lion, snake, badger, and a raven encircling a large, capital H. They were both addressed in green ink but one was to Kitaria Vance, the other to Guinivere Vance. Immediately forgetting the argument, the two hurriedly ripped open the envelopes and read the letters. The orphanage owner walked over to the two.

"What is it?" She asked even though she knew what the letters were.

It took a second for the two sisters to answer.

"It's a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Kit said shocked even though she had no idea where the school was.

"We've been accepted into Hogwarts!" Guinivere said excitedly, not caring that she had never heard of this school.

"Follow me." The owner said to the sisters.

The two followed her out and into her office where there was an odd man dressed in light blue robes sitting in back of the desk. As they walked in, the man turned around. He had long silver hair and a long silver beard, his twinkling blue eyes were behind half-moon spectacles and he smiled brightly at the two girls.

"Guinivere and Kitaria Vance," he said. His voice was eerie but calming and seemed to carry a sudden whisper of knowing on it.

Kit cocked her head and looked strangely at the man. Guinivere immediately looked at the man in awe.

"Who the-"

"KIT! I'm sorry Albus, even though she is only eleven, she has come to the stage of swearing a bit early."

"Elaine, I am not offended and your apology is accepted kindly. And I know the reason that these two are so surprised at my appearance is because they do not know me at all and they do not know what amazing journey they are about to partake in." The man smiled. "Kitaria and Guinivere I am Professor Albus Dumbledore," (at this Kit snickered and Gwen punched her hard.) He smiled again. "I am the headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." He stuck out a hand to shake and Guinivere immediately shook it with all respect.

"Professor, sir, I am Guinevere. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"And you too." He turned to Kit. "And you must be Kitaria."

Kit smiled and shook his hand. "Yes sir."

"Ah, you look, and I'm guessing act, exactly like your father. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"And you too sir. You knew, my father?" Kit said shocked. She had found a new respect for the man.

He nodded.

"And our mother?" Guinevere asked.

"Very much so; you have her charm and looks, Guinivere."

Guinivere beamed.

"Now, I would like all three of you to sit so that we can all talk." At this he conjured up three florescent orange puffy armchairs out of nowhere with a wave of his wand.

Kit and Guinivere looked at each other with amazement, and a hint of amusement at the chairs ridiculous appearances, followed Elaine's lead and sat down.

"Now I have come to discuss how Kitaria and Guinivere will be getting their school things and how they will be getting to Kings Cross Station. School begins on September 1st; the train leaves at exactly eleven o'clock in the morningfrom King's Cross Station in London. You school things should already be packed and in trunks by then and I suggest you get to the station at ten or ten fifteen. Now, Elaine do you know how to get to Diagon Alley?"

"No sir. Last time one of the orphans was accepted I believe one of the other wizarding families took them in for the summer or they just took them for a day of shopping there. But that was around fifty years ago when my mother was the owner of this orphanage."

"Yes I do remember that. Well I shall see to having one of the staff take the two to Diagon Alley three days before school starts. I will have them stay at the Leaky Cauldron for the days before school while they are there with the person so they don't have to take a long car ride to King's Cross. Is that ok Elaine?"

"Yes, that sounds fine. Girls, how does that sound?"

"Great!" Guinivere exclaimed.

"Cool!" said Kit.

"Right then! I will send a letter on who will be coming and when soon. Thanks for your patience Elaine. Have a good day."

He stood and shook hands with Elaine and the girls and strode out the door.

Kit and Gwen sat in silence for a few minutes. Then Kit sighed and got up.

"That was so weird." She mumbled.

Their minds couldn't begin to process what they had just heard, or what the future held for them. But not even an hour and a half later Gwen was trying to think of what classes they would be taking. Kit found it funny that Gwen was already worrying about classes and the laughter took her own mind off of most of the weird stuff that had just happened.
