Chapter 1:

The Hogwarts Express arrived at the Station in Hogsmeade. The many students of all ages filed out of the train, reunited with their friends to make their way back to the school in the carriages provided (and boats for the first years).

A group of seven cousins, two girls and five boys, got off the train and looked around. They didn't know where they were or where to go but they followed the crowd trying not to attract too much attention. People were soon to realize they were new to the school.

They found a carriage and got in silently looking out of the window at the excited crowd.
"I can't believe that loser goes to this school." Jordy said.

--FLASHBACK--

The small family sat in their compartment laughing and talking about nothing in particular. They noticed a few people walking past their compartment but not looking in.

The door opened and the lady with a trolley of sweets came in.
"Would you like anything from the trolley dears?" she asked kindly.

The boys smiled and bought some smacks from her but Candice and Bianca replied. "No thank you"

"The first people on this train that has said thank you and not even bought anything" she smiled, "Well if you change your mind I will be around" she said leaving.

"Oh before you go" Bianca said calling the lady back again, "Do you know when we will be arriving? We have been on this train for a while" Bianca asked.

"Oh, not long now. I would say around 30 minutes. You may want to get changed into your robes now and beat the traffic" the lady smiled and left.

"Thank You" Bianca said. "Well you heard her boys. Get your crap and get changed, we're going to change in here"

"But people can see through the door" Jordy said.

"That's why you are going to stand outside" Candice said pushing them out of the compartment.

The girls found their robes and before they started changing they heard yelling outside. They opened the door to see Jordy and Lucius Malfoy arguing.

"What's going on?" Bianca asked standing between them.

"Here she is. The topic of our conversation" Lucius said.

"Yes I am here. What do you want now?" she asked folding her arms.

"I just want to get to now the slut I'm going to hate for the rest of the year" he said.

Jordy tried to jump forward but he was stopped by the others.
"Is that supposed to be an insult? Because it's a crap one. But I don't know why I expected better from a albino like you." He looked at her furiously. Bianca turned around to walk back into the compartment but she stopped.

"Are you going to pick that up?" she asked pointing to the floor.

He looked down, "What?" he said confusedly.

"Your bottom jaw" she laughed and went inside with Candice and closed the door.

"Now run along before I get really mad" Jordy said.

--END OF FLASHBACK--

"None of us like him either but there is nothing we can do about it. Just try to ignore him" Bianca said.

"Easier said than done" he replied.

"Well try to exercise a little self control" Candice said.

They all looked at her, "Since when do you say smart stuff like that" Bianca asked.

"Yeah, and what do you know about self control?" Jordy asked.

They all laughed, "Shut up, I'm allowed to say smart things every once in a while" Candice said, "And I have heaps of self control." she added.

"Whatever you say" Keagan said.

They sat in silence for a few minutes before the carriage jolted to a stop. Candice squealed. They all looked at her.

"I hate you guys" she said getting out first.

They waited for everyone else to move into the Great Hall. They met professor McGonagall in the Entrance Hall and asked where they were supposed to go.

"Excuse me. Can you please show us where to go? We're new here" Candice said to Professor.

"I'm Professor McGonagall. You are in the right place. You need to be sorted into a house, just follow me into the Great Hall" she said.

The door to the Great Hall opened and Professor McGonagall walked swiftly to the front of the large room with scared first years following her close in toe. Behind the bunch of first years were Candice and Bianca who caused many people to look and whisper to their friends, some of the boys wolf whistling.

Bianca looked to the far side of the room and saw Lucius and his little gang staring at them with smirks on their face. They reached the front and stopped. Professor McGonagall called out the names of the younger students and they were placed in a House by the 'Sorting Hat'.

"Now we have seven new students to the school." Professor started.

Candice tugged Bianca's hand, "What?" she asked.

"Where are the boys?" Candice whispered. They looked behind them and at each other again. The boys were indeed gone and were probably discovering new things about the large castle.

"Uh oh" Bianca said.

"Where are the others?" Professor asked causing them to look at her again.

"They must have walked off" Candice replied.

"I'll send a prefect to get them then" she said again.

"No it's ok. We can get them here faster" Bianca said. At this point everyone in the Hall was watching intently. The girls turned around and whistled loudly and they all stared at them like they were insane.

Just as they had said distant footsteps could be heard and soon the boys came running and stopped when they saw the big room.

"Wow, this place is cool" Jordy said. There were some laughs and a few girls sitting at the end of the table were whispering and giggling as the boys' winked at them. They strolled towards their cousins and smiled sheepishly.

"Where have you been?" Bianca asked in a hushed tone.

"We got lost. Do you have any idea how big this place is?" Jordy said.

The sound of laughter spread throughout the Hall yet again and McGonagall cleared her throat as they settled down and watched the front. Bianca was called first and sat on the stool as the hat was placed on her head.
"Interesting. Brave, a bit shy, loyal and caring. You'd best be in GRYFFINDOR!"

Bianca jumped up and walked to the table sitting down next to a chubby girl with glasses and the same curly hair as the rest of the table clapped and cheered. She appeared to be sitting alone. "Hello" Bianca said happily. "How are you?" She didn't bother listening to which house her cousins were sorted into.

"I-I'm good" she stuttered.

"That's good. Where are your friends?" Bianca asked.

"I-I don't have any friends" she answered. Some boys across the table laughed at her and started making comments.

"Hey, shut up. Don't be so rude" Bianca said. She turned back to the girl, "Well you do now. I'm Bianca." She said holding out her hand.

"Amanda" she answered confusedly, shaking her hand.

"Can I call you Mandy?" she nodded quietly. "Everyone deserves to have friends. You can hang out with me and my cousins" Bianca said.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled and Candice, Jordy, Keagan and Jamey joined them.

"Guys this is Amanda, a.k.a. Mandy. Mandy this is Candice, Jordy, Keagan and Jamey" Bianca introduced. They all smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Nice to meet you" Candice said. "I love your hair"

"Um... thanks. Are you guys sure you want to be my friend. As you can see people make fun of me a lot and they are not used to seeing me with friends." Amanda said quietly.

"Well then they are going to have to" Jordy said to her with his mouth full.

"So what year are you in anyway?" Candice asked.

"Seventh" she answered.

"Cool, us too" Bianca said. Candice continued to talk to Amanda and Bianca looked at the table to see what her professors will look like and she crossed the Headmaster. He smiled down at her with a glint in his eyes and she smiled back happily before turning around and eating.

"Albus, are you not hungry? You haven't eaten anything" McGonagall asked.

"Just observing our new students Minerva" he said simply before eating.

Bianca looked around the table and realized two things. First of all Nicolas and Jesse weren't there. "Jordy, where is Nicolas and Jesse?" she asked.

"They were sorted into Ravenclaw" He answered.

"Oh, that sucks... Well at least they are together" she said.

The second thing she noticed was that it was awfully quiet meaning the Marauders were nowhere to be seen.

"Candice look around. Do you see a few people missing" Bianca said quietly, eating her peas.

"Oh Yeah, you're right" Candice said looking around. "Hey Amanda?"

"Yes?"

"Where are the Marauders?" Candice asked.

"They are usually here but my guess is they are organizing a big prank against the Slytherins. It has to be big because they never miss a meal and I mean never. Not when Sirius is around. He eats like half the table" she answered.

Candice and Bianca thought back to the holidays when they were out with the boys and Sirius was always eating or thinking about it.

"Oh. Thanks"

"Anytime" Amanda answered smiling. "Wait, how do you know the Marauders?"

"It's a long story. We'll tell you everything later." Bianca said.

"You have nice teeth by the way" Candice said.

"Thank you" she said blushing at the random comment. "Braces"

Dinner was finally over and the cousins met outside the Great Hall, to wish each other goodnight.
"Well I'll see you boys in the morning. Be good" Bianca said hugging Nicolas and Jesse as they went their separate way.

"Bianca! Candice!" someone exclaimed from behind them. They whirled around to see Lily running towards them with her friends watching. She hugged them both as the others acted totally normal and screamed at the sight of her.

"Surprise" Candice and Bianca said together holding their arms out and spinning around.

"You guys didn't tell me you were coming" Lily said.

"Well it wouldn't be a surprise then would it?" Candice said.

"This is too cool. We can hang out again like old times"

"Yeah, just like old times. Do you want to introduce us to your friends?" Bianca said looking at them standing behind her.

"O sorry. Bianca, Candice, this is Chloe and Annie" Lily introduced them.

"Hello" they said kindly.

Chloe was very pretty. She had a good figure and long straight brown hair hanging behind her. Annie was the shortest, with wavy blonde hair and a beaming smile. The girls had a small conversation but had to say quick goodbyes to help other students back to their dormitories.

They offered to show the cousins where to go but they didn't take them up on the offer. When the girls were out of sight Bianca and Candice sighed.

"I'm sensing something has changed" Jordy said but then a voice came from behind them.

"I remember you guys". They all turned around to see a familiar tall boy with brown spiky hair and crystal blue eyes. He was leaning against the wall with a friend beside him. His friend had lighter brown hair and brown eyes; both appeared to be in Gryffindor.

"Hey Brett" Candice said. Bianca gave her a look.

"Hi Candice. Bianca" he said looking at them both. "This is Scott" he said nodding his head to his friend that smiled and said hello.

"Hi" the girls said.

"What's up?" Jordy said slapping their hands, the others doing the same.

"How do you know my name?" Bianca asked.

"Candice told me the other day when I saw you guys at Diagon Alley" he replied smiling down at her. She had to admit he was kind of cute but of course she felt like a house elf compared to him as she was just passed his shoulder height.

"I got a question" Bianca said.

"Shoot" Brett said as they started walked to the Tower slowly.

"Where did our animals go?" she asked. They had left their pets on the train and wanted to know where they were.

He laughed, "The owls will be in the owlery. I don't actually know where the other animals go. I think they will be in your room or wondering around."

"Ok, where is our room?" Candice asked.

"Follow us" Scott said.

"I have a question for you guys?" Brett said.

"Yes? Bianca said.

"Are you going to the party?" he asked grinning widely.

Candice and Bianca looked at each other excitedly before asking, "What party?

They walked up moving staircases, something they have never seen before, to a portrait of a Fat Lady. "Password?" she asked.

"Chocolate Frogs" they said. "This party"

The Portrait door swung open and the cousins followed the boys inside. They entered a room with a large fireplace, table in the corner for doing homework and comfy chairs, were all pushed to the corner. Music was playing loudly and students from 5th year and above, in casual clothes, were dancing, talking, and sculling Butterbeer.

"Welcome to the Start of Term Party" Brett said over the music.

The cousin all smiled and after directions from Brett and Scott went to their room to put on the clothes they wore on the train back on. They went up the staircase and reached a long hallway. Girls voices can be heard as they walked passed. They didn't know exactly how they were going to find their room but they came to one at the end of the hall with a note attached to the door that was addressed to them.
Bianca took it and read it aloud:

To Bianca and Candice Rosslind,

Welcome to Hogwarts! I hope you found the room without much difficulty.
I know you have met a new friend and I believe that you two and your cousins will settle in here at Hogwarts very well.

I have placed you both together in a room with our Head Girl, Lily Evans.
Lily will however be moving out of this room and into her new one in the Head Tower. It is part of the privileges of the title.

If however you would like someone else to join you when Lily does leave I am sure I can arrange for Amanda to move in.

Now, without further ado I bid you goodnight.

Kindly,

Headmaster Dumbledore.

They sighed and opened the door to find Lily sitting on her bed reading a book. She looked up and jumped off her bed immediately with a huge smile on her face.
"Welcome!" she said.

"Thanks" they said in unison, smiling at her enthusiastic attitude.

"So this is it" Candice said, looking and walking around the room.

There were three four poster beds in the room against the walls and the girls noticed their belongings were already there, including Simba sleeping on Bianca's bed. They moved to have a look at the bathroom. It had a large bench with draws and a cupboard below. The toilet was on the wall behind the door and near the shower was a towel rack with three white towels ready to use.

Back in the bedroom they found their trunk places at the end of their bed with their robes including Gryffindor scarf, tie, jumper and robe with the emblem on it. There was also a small nightstand beside each bed with an alarm clock.

"Aren't you going to the party?" Bianca asked pulling her dress, boots, tights and everything else out of her trunk again.

"No"

"Why not?" Candice asked changing her clothes not caring if Lily could see or not.

"I never go" Lily said.

"Why?" Candice asked again but received only a shrug.

"Well we're going" Bianca said, they were dressed and fixing their hair.

"If you change your mind we will be dancing on the table" Candice said smiling cheekily and dragging Bianca out of the room without another word. They went down the stairs and found everyone just as they had left them.

"At least they have good music" Candice said to her cousin. Bianca laughed and nodded. They saw Brett and Scott in the corner of the room leaning up against the wall with their hand in their pockets, bobbing their head to the beat of the music and their cousins talking to some girls on the couch.

They made their way to Brett and Scott because they were the only people they knew. They reached them and smiled up at them. They stood up a little straighter looking at their outfit.

They stood in comfortable silence for a few minutes watching everyone have a great time with friends. The girls felt very relaxed in the crowd and soon started to dance.

"I love this song. Let's dance" Candice said. Bianca looked at the dance floor which had people dancing back to back from lack of space.

"Where?" Bianca said.

Candice just smiled and took her cousins hand dragging her to the table. The boys just stood in the corner observing from afar. They jumped onto the table and started dancing. Everyone cheered and watched them dance together moving their hips and body to the beat.

They laughed and smiled as everyone half watched and continued dancing with their friends. They continued to dance as the song changed a few times.

Some students however stopped dancing and looked as they heard noises coming from the boy's dormitories. The music was turned softer and they waited in suspense. Suddenly the door burst opened and four boys came running down the stairs.

Bianca and Candice jumped off the table and made their way to the punch. Somehow they stayed unseen by the familiar boys and the party slowly started to die down. Most of the students had gone to bed leaving Bianca, Candice, Brett, Scott and their cousins left.

All the cousins managed to squeeze on the couch, mainly Bianca and Candice sitting on someone's lap. Brett and Scott pulled up and chair and sat on it resting their arm on the back.

"Oh no" Bianca said. She was half asleep on Jordy's lap as he talked with Brett and Scott. Candice was fast asleep and almost rolled onto the floor.

"We didn't owl my mum. She is going to kill us. I think we can expect a long letter in the morning. Oh who cares? I'm tired" she said, having a small conversation with herself. "I'm going to bed."

"You might want to take Candice with you" Keagan's said holding her and her head rested on his shoulder.

"Candice get up" Bianca said, pulling her up by the arm. She didn't open her eyes but stood up and said softly, "Can I have a cookie?"

"Yes I'll give you a cookie when we get to our room." Bianca said, going along with it and pushing her in the right direction.

"Ok" she moved upstairs. Bianca quickly kissed all the boys goodbye, looking at Brett and Scott who were giggling quietly. "She likes cookies" she said laughing as well and moving upstairs.

Candice made it into the dorm and collapsed on her bed forgetting about her cookie.

Bianca closed the door quietly trying not to wake up Lily or her cousin and changed into her pajamas and set her alarm before rolling over and falling asleep instantly.
