Chapter 1
"Hurry up Alexandra!" her mother called up the stairs.
"I'm coming, I'm coming…" she mumbled back. Upstairs Alexandra closed her trunk, pocketed her wand. She looked in the mirror and stared at her reflection. She was the odd quadruplet. Unlike her sisters, who all had perfect blond hair that fell to the middle of their backs, she had dirty blond hair that fell a little past her shoulders. But the main thing that made her and her siblings different, besides their personalities, was their eyes. They each had different colours. Hilary (the oldest by 1 hour) had green eyes, Heather had brown eyes (like their brother), Hanna (the baby of the family), had hazel eyes. As for Alexandra, she had blue eyes.
'I guess this is it.' She thought. 'I'm off to a new school, with new people. I get to be compared to my sisters again and I get to have people wonder why I look so different compared to my siblings…well except my brother, I guess I sort of look like him.'
Then she started dragging her trunk downstairs. She was off to start her 6th year at a new school called Hogwarts.
"You know we just have to sit together!" Hilary's voice came from next to her as they walked towards platform 9 ¾. "Even you Brett. We should all stick together since it's going to be a new school."
"She says that now, but you know as soon as she sees a 'cute' guy she'll forget who we are" Alexandra whispered to her brother.
"I know, but we should just humour her for now, she's trying to act like a big sister you can all look up to" Brett teased.
"She's only older then me by 1 hour!" she said back, in an annoyed voice. She hated it when people reminded her that she wasn't the oldest.
Still in her own thoughts, she walked through the barrier and onto the platform.
"Alex, are you even listening to my story?" Heathers voice met her ears.
"I'm trying not to…" she whispered under her breath.
"What?" Heather asked.
God, I should really tell her to stop acting like a dumb blond…Oh wait, I did before and she didn't know what I was talking about Alexandra thought to herself, smiling slightly as she remember the memory.
"Earth to Alex. Come in Alex." Hanna teased me.
"Are you like having another premonition or something?" Heather asked.
"God! Just because I have those sometimes, doesn't mean every time I zone out I am! Am I not allowed to daydream?" Alexandra was really tired of people always asking her if she was having a premonition. She wondered all the time why she couldn't be like her sisters. Blond, ditzy (well smart in Hanna's case) and normal, nope she had to be dirty blond, smart, and not normal. She had to take into account that every time she had a dream it might be a premonition. That's why she kept a dream diary. That's why she couldn't wait to start divination.
"God, chill. She was just asking!" Hilary said while closing her makeup bag.
Alex took a deep breath and counted to 10. "Hilary, I'm just tired of you guys-"
"Girls" she interrupted.
"Fine, girls always asking if I'm having a premonition. Besides, you're not supposed to justgo around saying that I have them! Don't you remember what mom said?"
"Goodbye and have fun?" Hanna tried. "No" Alexandra said, shooting Hanna a look that could kill. "She said to watch out and make sure nobody's around when we mention them. Since there are dark wizards out there and seers aren't exactly common."
"Alex just chill okay? We'll make sure that we don't mention it too often, but we will ask you every so often, just to make sure your okay and stuff, ok?" Brett asked from besides you.
"Fine!" she sighed. "Can I go back to reading my book now?" she looked around at her siblings. They nodded, so she went back to reading 'Hogwarts, A History'. I may be going into a new school she thought but I'm determined to know all about it.
When the train arrived, Alexandra, Hilary, Heather, Hanna and Brett got off.
"You know what?" Hilary said, "I think I actually like these uniforms" She looked down at her skirt as she said this.
Well I don't Alex thought, looking down at her skirt. She hated skirts. That and dresses. Both of which her mom made her wear whenever they had a party. She preferred jeans or shorts to dresses and skirts.
"Firs' years this way!" Alex heard a voice and when she looked to see whom it came from, she was shocked. She looked and seen this man that was at least 2 times the size of a normal man. "Oy! You lot there!"
"Ya?" your brother called back.
"I take it yer the new students?" he said back.
"Yep" your brother called back.
"Well yer to take the carriages to the castle. When you get there, look fer Professor McGonagall"
"Alright, thanks!" your brother said back. Meanwhile, Alex and her sisters just stared. "Alright, you heard him. Into the carriages!" So the family went towards the carriages and got into one. Then they felt them moving towards the castle. When the turned the bend, the castle came into view.
"Oh wow! It's beautiful!" she heard her sisters say.
They're right about that… she thought. I don't think I'm going to mind this boarding school…
