Introduction

Much to everyone's assumptions, twins weren't exactly the same in every way.

That could definitely be said for Iris and Arizona Jackson. Whereas Arizona was more the studious one, Iris hardly ever did her homework. Although Iris dressed less feminine than many girls her age, Arizona loved to wear floral patterns and girly colours. Iris got into arguments and didn't shy from conflict, Arizona would merely walk away from any confrontation. The only similarities were their appearance - the blonde hair and dark eyes, similar facial features and comparable voices. Another difference is that Arizona surrounded herself with people - she was the 'pretty' one, the 'popular' one.

Iris stuck with none other than Albus Severus Potter - a boy in her year whom she had known since their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They had met when seated next to each other in History of Magic and Albus had made a bet a galleon that at least five people would fall asleep - Iris proceeded to argue with him saying that eight would.

Iris was right.

Ever since that one moment in History of Magic, Albus and Iris have been making bets with each other on other peoples lives - exchanging money whenever one would lose to the winner. They found entertainment in betting and many said that the two may have had gambling problems. Granted, it was Arizona who said that to Iris almost every day, but the two continued betting.

Unbeknownst to Albus and Iris, James - Albus' older brother - had gathered the family members and close friends to all make bets on when the two partners in crime would finally realise their love for each other. When Albus discovers his siblings and cousins talking about it, he can't help but tell Iris and everything they thought about their platonic relationship fell apart. But is it for the worse or the better?
