Hello hello there lovelies! Okay, so... yeah. Disclaimer.

I DO NOT, AND NEVER WILL, OWN THE HARRY POTTER SERIES, ALL THAT YOU RECOGNIZE PROBABLY BELONGS TO J.K. ROWLING EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL SONG LYRIC. ALL I OWN IS THE FEY FAMILY.

And my inner Voldie is commanding I put some DEtail into this introduction. (Note, this Voldie is smexy AVPM Joe Walker Voldie... So sexy XD) Okay, so here goes.

What would you do, if the one person who knew you,

suddenly had to share the spotlight.

If you seemed to be responsible,

for changing a person's perspective.

If someone told you they loved you,

and you didn't know how to respond.

How Fascinating.


I've never been the pretty one of the group, or the smart one, or even the funny one. I was the plain jane, the nobody, the girl everyone overlooked. I was fine with that, I small talked with a few girls at school, but never claimed myself to be their friend. The actual only friend I had at Hogwarts was my twin brother Danny. Before I get into detail about my relationship with my twin, let me explain my family.

I am, by wizarding world standards, a half-blood even though my Dad is pureblood and my Mum is muggleborn. So even though I have two wizarding parents, I'm a half-blood. My mum and dad met at Hogwarts in their fifth year, my mum a Ravenclaw and my dad a Hufflepuff. From stories they told us they kind of danced around with each other before throwing themselves at each other in late seventh year, which is how they got my big brother Jack.

My mum and dad have what can only be described as a passionate relationship. They don't fight often, usually they have a big one every two years or so, but usually when they make up we get another sibling. I have four siblings not including Danny.

All boys.

Jack is the oldest at twenty, Trent is eighteen and studying to be a healer, then Oliver is my first younger brother at thirteen, and Colin, my baby brother who just turned eleven. I suppose I should feel special because I'm the only girl, but truthfully, if not for Danny not being my twin I'd feel pretty excluded. Don't get me wrong, I love my brothers more than anything; but I sometimes wonder if they'd like me better if I were a boy and could keep up with their love of sports.

Another thing that ostracizes me from my brothers? They're all ridiculously good-looking. Like, no joke. They all have my mum's curly wheat blonde hair and my dad's honey brown eyes, that combination along with their height and golden skin, they look like artists' depictions of Apollo. Meanwhile I get my dad's pale brown hair, my mum's pale complexion, and her pale blue eyes. I look like one of the Hogwarts ghosts. At least I'm not as depressing as Moaning Myrtle, I'm not teased, only ignored.

When I first got to Hogwarts, I was so excited. I thought I'd be in a House with my twin brother. I watched him get sorted into Hufflepuff right after some guy named Black caused a commotion about being in Gryffindor and a Confidant looking girl walked up to the hat and not so confidently walked back down, also to the Gryffindor table. Danny got in the same house as our dad and Jack, and I eagerly waited for Professor McGonagall to call out "Annette Fey". I had been so shy when I walked up to the Sorting Hat not nearly as confidant as the Red Haired girl who'd gone up before Danny had been.

I sat down on the stool and waited as the Sorting Hat was placed on my head. The whispering voice filled my head as soon as the fabric touched my head. 'Ah, you're the girl inside that other Fey's head. His twin. I suspect you think you'll be a Hufflepuff with him? Well we'll just see about that. Not cut out for Slytherin, though you are quite cunning, not really ambitious enough for it. And there's wit, oh yes a lot of wit. But not much of a confidence to make it shine in Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff would be a good place for you, but there is no doubt that being in that house with two of your brothers would cause you to cling to them. You are fiercely loyal to your family, so loyal that I have no choice but to put you in,

"GRYFFINDOR!"

You can probably imagine my shock that I was put into a house with, not even my twin, but neither of my two older brothers. Professor McGonagall had to tell me at least three times to go join my fellow Gryffindors before I actually got up. No one in my family had ever been in Gryffindor before. It was always either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. I was going to be alone in my House. I sat down next to the red haired girl, who had her back firmly turned away from the other boy in Gryffindor, the Black. She smiled at me kindly.

"Hi, I'm Lily Evans. Nice to meet you," she said. I barely glanced at her before mumbling an introduction. I looked over at the Hufflepuff table, where Danny was sitting, looking confused as to why I was sitting over here rather than with him.

"Is that your brother? I didn't know people from the same family could get sorted into different houses," Lily said. She sounded curious, she might be Muggleborn… Mum had told stories when she was young that she didn't know anything about Hogwarts when she first came, and that it was all fascinating to her.

"My twin. And apparently they can…" I had stated simply, before looking down at the table. I didn't talk much the rest of the night, didn't eat much either. Danny and I, before that moment, had never been separated. Ever. I felt lonely even with the nine other Gryffindor first years around me. Over the course of our first year, Lily gave up on trying to get me to open up, and I spent much of my free time in the Library, studying with Trent, my Ravenclaw brother, and Danny when he wasn't off with his friends in Hufflepuff.

I spent a lot of time with Trent in the library, he was the closest thing, other than Danny, I had to a best friend. Of course, he had friends too, and sometimes a girlfriend, but he always made sure we spent at least three days together a week to study during free time. But that changed after third year, he graduated. I spent forth year pretty much alone, Danny spent some time with me, but he had joined his house Quidditch team as a Seeker, and Oliver sometimes joined me in studying in the library, but I could see he preferred to study in the common room of Ravenclaw with his friends. My brothers had different lives at school, Danny was a social boy with lots of friends and was an excellent player on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. He occasionally had bouts of twin guilt that he didn't spend much time with me, and became over affectionate when I was trying to study, or over school breaks.

School breaks are my favorite because Danny is like my twin again, like he was before Hogwarts. Oliver was never a very family oriented person, he was more of a friends person. He spent breaks studying and writing his friends. Jack and Trent visit occasionally, but they usually have their own jobs to do, with Jack as an Auror and Trent with his Healer studies.

Although the previous summer was different, Danny thought it was a good idea to bring home his most recent girlfriend, Clarissa, to meet his parents. Although our mum and dad kept a close eye on them, they were practically glued to the hip. Danny hardly spent any time with me. And to make matters worse, they broke up two weeks prior to coming back to Hogwarts for our O.W.L. year, and he moped about for that long even though he instigated the break up.

Bloody prat.

Seriously, he is pretty damn selfish sometimes. I don't ask for much, but when my own twin won't pay me a lick of attention, it bugs me. And since Danny had prefect duties, and Oliver had his friends to sit with, and Colin had some friends from our village attending this year to sit with, I was left alone. Well, not completely alone. Clarissa had taken it upon herself that since she "practically spent, like, the whoooole summer with me" that we were "like, the bestest of friends!". God I hate when she opens her overly lipstick covered gob. She always sounds so freaking stupid. I was currently sitting in a near empty compartment on the Hogwarts express, glaring out the window as Clarissa prattled on about my brother and why he shouldn't have broken up with her.

I will kill him for this.

Okay, maybe not. But I want to think about what I could do to him to make sure he never did something this stupid again. Seriously, inviting a girl you've been dating for only a month to spend the summer with you and your family and then breaking up with her only two weeks before term started again? Danny is mental if he thinks I'll keep putting up with this. I've managed to stay pretty quiet and unknown at school so far, but she was seriously pushing it. I was trying to maintain a calm composure, as to not give the appearance of wanting to rip her mouth off her face and then shove it up her ass, when all the sudden, she got quiet. Like, shocked quiet.

I looked up out of curiosity, wondering why the annoying can't-stop-talking idiot finally stopped talking.

Oh.

Well bollocks, it was the Marauders. They were four boys in my year, my house actually, who were notorious pranksters. It just so happened that since Clarissa shared my room (when she and Danny didn't sneak out to do other misdeeds) she informed me all about her crush on three of the four boys, even though only two of the cute ones were here.

Really, I didn't actually see the big deal, sure, Sirius was insanely attractive, but he was also a huge git with a temper problem. James was pretty nice looking, very attractive, but he had declared long ago that his heart belonged to Lily Evans. Remus, well, Remus is attractive, but he's almost always out sick or visiting his sick mum or taking care of his deranged bunny. Or whatever that "furry little problem" of his was… He was probably with Danny doing Prefect type things.

And Pettigrew….. Well frankly, I think Pettigrew creeped out everyone but his friends. He reminded me a bit of a rat, and I hate rat's. A lot. It's a bit of a phobia of mine actually. I suppose he could be a decent person, if he wasn't trying to impress Sirius every hour of the day…

"What are you two doing in here?" Sirius asked, rather rudely too. Oh dear, this was not good in my current state of mind.

"What do you mean? We're just sitting here talking," Clarissa said, near breathlessly. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Right, like she didn't know that this was the compartment that the Marauders sat in every year on the way to and from Hogwarts.

Twat.

"Well get out, this is our compartment," he said. Hah, it seemed like he thought he had some sort of authority over us. I smirked a bit, just the smallest twitch of my lips, and turned back to look at the scenery again. I didn't really plan on moving. But if he can get Clarissa to move, by all means, go on and put up a fight. I happened to be very stubborn, all part of my brother's pestering affection when I was studying. I kept studying while he tried to nuzzle up against me. It aggravates him to no end when I just sit there reading my books. I may be a masochist for enjoying it…

"Oh… Okay, let's go Annie, maybe we can sit with Danny after he gets back from Prefect duties," Clarissa said. I could feel the seat move slightly as she stood up. Again, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Can the twat not just simply leave me alone? I was going to have to say something then… Damn.

"No Clarissa, I will not help you stalk my brother. In case you forgot, he broke up with you. There's a reason for that you know, and I can only imagine that the reason behind it is because other than your apparent snogging abilities, you have absolutely no other thing to give in a relationship. My brother may be promiscuous, but he likes to hold decent conversation every now and again. And the prattle you spout out of your stupid gob is just insane nonsense. So why don't you leave, and I'll stay here. And if my house mates have a problem with my staying here, then they'll just have to get the fuck over themselves," I said, keeping my gaze out the window. That was actually the most I'd ever said to someone outside the family. There's my socialness for the next two years. Maybe three.

The compartment was silent for a little bit, until Clarissa, the twat, broke the silence.

"Merlin Annie, I didn't know you had such an attitude, you seem so nice around your brothers…" she said, gobsmacked. Gob is a fun word to say….

"Maybe because I actually like my brother's and I hate you?" I offered. I could practically hear the confusion spiraling around in her blonde little head.

"You don't like me?" She asked, still confused. I resisted the urge to bang my head against the window.

"No, Clarissa, I don't like you. Never did," I said simply, staring out the window, trying to prevent my eye from twitching. I listened to her huff angrily.

"Well fine then! And here I thought I was doing you a favor. I guess you're just some weird freaky loner after all. I'll take my leave now," Clarissa huffed. I flashed her the international sign for Rock 'N Roll, and kept my gaze out the window as she pushed her way out of the compartment.

"Wow, didn't know you could be such a badass Fey," a voice said as the body attached plopped itself down in the seat in front of me. In my peripheral I could see the sun glint off a pair of glasses. James. I hummed dismissively, keeping my eyes out the window.

"And she goes back to being mute," I heard Sirius mutter as he dropped onto the seat next to me. Ah, so people that I was mute. How fascinating considering the display Danny and I made on our Birthday back in first year. We have a very weird birthday, like, the weirdest. We were born on the one day that only comes every four years, February 29th. We were leap year twins. So of course, since our Birthday is so rare, Danny and I like to make Big Celebrations on our actual for-reals for-reals birthday. Which was coming up next February.

Oh well, let them think what they want. I didn't really care, as long as they didn't bother me about my brothers.

"Ah well, at least we learned you weren't just another misplaced Hufflepuff. That was a lovely display of backbone, I don't think I've ever heard a girl speak like that. Pads didn't you date Monroe a while back?" James asked.

"What? Date that annoyance? I have some standards Prongs. I dated Claire Michaels, not Clarissa Monroe. You know, the Ravenclaw in the year above us."

"Ah yeah. You going out for the team again this year?"

"Prongs, you really got to ask?"

I listened to this for the next hour while Peter made random small talk with them. I just stayed quiet, at least they didn't put up an annoying show of being put out by my being there. I really hate whiners. Maybe Sirius was only trying to get Clarissa to leave… In which case, I'll have to rethink my impression of him.

I watched out the window, looking at the scenery until the compartment door opened up.

"Moony! How was prefect duty?" James said in a teasing voice.

"Good, er, what's Annie doing in here?" I heard the voice of Remus Lupin ask.

"I didn't feel like moving after I told off my brother's twat of an ex-girlfriend. I think your friends are too entertained by the fact that I can talk to kick me out. So Danny's out then?" I asked, looking up to the Sandy-haired boy. We were relatively friendly with one another, we sometimes shared the same table when studying.

"Well actually-"

"ANNIEKINS! I FOUND YOU!" I blinked as my twin brother, all six foot four of him (more than a freaking foot taller than me…. Prat…) all hyper and absolutely glowing jumped behind Remus. I blinked. Oh…. What the fuck?

"Danny who the hell gave you Licorice Wands?" I asked, arching a light brown eyebrow. My brother only got a sugar craze off one candy and one candy alone. Licorice Wands, we don't know why, we don't know how, it just does. He's not usually allowed to have them. Fizzing Whizbees, Drooble's, Chocolate Frogs, all fine. But the dang Licorice Wands made him go crazy up the wall.

"Marlene McKinnon, she's a nice girl, I might date her. Put in a good word for me?" Danny said, grinned at me as he slung his arm over Remus' shoulder. I rolled my eyes. Marlene McKinnon was a Gryffindor in my year, also a lover of any pretty boy in Hogwarts.

"No you blighter, I will not set up my dorm mates with you. Then they'll start pestering me when you break up with them. I already get enough from the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw girls…. Go anywhere near a Slytherin girl and I will personally make sure you flinch at the mere mention of a girl being intimate with you," I threatened, standing up I pulled my jeans up higher on my hips slightly. The tattered, by choice and own creation, fabric showed a fair bit of skin on my legs. But they were my favorite jeans, I loved them even though they were severely tattered on the hem of the legs due to the being longer than my feet and I had to keep pulling them up on my hips because they were too loose. I was that tiny, close literally fall off my body. I was actually hoping Jack would get the hint about getting me that small leather jacket with the zip pockets we saw in that muggle shop for Christmas.

Danny pouted at me as Remus ducked inside the compartment, sitting next to Sirius across from Pettigrew. "Munchkin you're too mean to me," he said. He's the only person I allow to make fun of my height, because I tend to tease him about his man-hoe tendencies. Okay, they're more than tendencies… He's a very promiscuous boy. But, he lets me tease him, so he can tease me. Anyone else who mocks my height gets a nice little hex.

"Nah I don't think so," I said as I walked out of the compartment, not even having to duck under my brother's outstretched arm. I didn't say anything to the boys, they hadn't talked to me while I had been sitting with them. We had just been sitting in the same compartment, I didn't even speak to them, other than Remus.

Danny followed behind me. It seemed like he was over dumping Clarissa, finally, and used the rest of the train ride just being twin like. I was smiling slightly, my fingers laced through my twin's as we walked up and down the train for a while. I told Danny he could go sit with his friends, but he said that since he'd been a shitty twin all summer, he's trying to make up for it. That made me smile, if it weren't for our pact when we were little, that little sentence alone would have made me forgiven him.

I loved being a twin, it was the most amazing feeling in the world to me. Always having the one person who's shared everything with you, who'll love you unconditionally, and never judge you unfairly. It's a built in best friend. I don't need anyone outside of Danny, they just didn't understand how strong a bond like that could be.

Soon enough, we had arrived at the Hogsmeade station, I rode up to the castle with Oliver and his friends in Ravenclaw. He didn't mind much, I didn't pester him or his friends. Colin was with the other first years, and Danny was helping confused second years who were just staring at the horseless carriages. I was looking backwards, watching the others with an impassive face as Oliver and his friends talked about what they'd read so far in their textbooks. My brother is a little nerd, but Merlin knows I love him.

Then all the sudden, just before the carriage started moving away, my pale blue eyes met stormy grey ones. I blinked, and forced my eyes to look at the rest of his face. It was Sirius Black, and he was smirking. Oh Circe, this couldn't be good. Any time ANY of the Marauders started smirking, my cousin in America put it best by saying "Shit's about to go down".

"Annette Fey," he said, smirking. I cocked an eyebrow at him, what the hell did he want? He looked like he was waiting for me to answer him. Too bad. He seemed to sense that I wasn't going to answer him out loud, so he started talking again. He had pretty lips… He actually had pretty everything, so high class, so aristocratic, but with a dash of rebel in him. His shaggy just a bit too long black hair, his pale skin that had the slightest amount of tan, his stormy grey eyes, and his long, lean features. He wasn't as tall as Danny, just a couple inches shorter,

"James and I want you to sit with us. Care to join?" he said, smirking. He looked like he was so sure I'd be blushing and excited, he was so cocky about himself. It almost made me not want to prove him wrong.

But not quite.

"No." His face fell.

"No?"

"No," I confirmed. I was jolted a bit in my seat, as the carriage began moving towards the castle, leaving me still impassive, and Sirius standing there confused.

So, whatcha think? Good, bad, too soon to tell?

If you want to offer feedback, that'd be lovely.

Until next week (I'm actually going to keep a schedule about this :3 )

Love you Lovebuckets
