There Are Two Things In Life For Which We Are Never Truly Prepared: Twins ~ Josh Billings

Hugo Weasley strolled down the corridor towards the Great Hall, clutching his books to his chest protectively like a typical Ravenclaw. He smiled softly at some of his fellow classmates as he passed them, but still hid behind his ginger locks.

Hugo was one of the only Weasley offspring not in Gryffindor. His sister Rose, although extremely clever was a brave Gryffindor. People often said she was a replica of their mother in her prime. The Potters were in Gryffindor expectedly; in fact the only other cousin which was not in Gryffindor was his cousin Louis, who was a sweet Hufflepuff Veela.

But Hugo didn't mind. He had actually grown used to it. For two reasons really: Firstly he knew he wasn't brave and although would have been very welcome and comfortable in Gryffindor, he wouldn't have wanted people to expect great things of him, other in the intellectual area. And secondly, he was in the same house as his best friend, Lysander Scamander, so it couldn't be too bad.

Hugo's father always made lots of jokes about Hugo being in Ravenclaw and although he's quite sensitive and used to take them to heart, he was now in his fifth year and didn't at all. He was happy to be in Ravenclaw now. He was comfortable and most importantly, doing extremely well.

At the other end of the corridor, blond hair immediately caught his eye and it didn't take Hugo a split second to realise who it was.

"Hey Hugo." Lorcan Scamander smirked, his eyes running up and down the redhead's body.,

The twins, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander, sons of Luna Lovegood and Rolf Scamander, had been best friends with Hugo since they could all remember. Their parents were, of course, good friends and it was only natural that they became close.

All through their childhood, the three boys had been inseparable. Lorcan had always been the more loud and confident out of the two twins, despite them being identical, while Lysander and Hugo normally just followed. They would do everything together. It was often that Luna would have to bring the twins to the Weasley's, or the other way around, because when Hugo was apart from the twins, they wouldn't stop talking about how they missed each other and wanted to see each other again.

When they arrived at Hogwarts four years ago, it was the first time they significantly started to drift apart. Lorcan was put into Gryffindor, which came as no surprise, but Lysander and Hugo were put into Ravenclaw.

Lysander really was the opposite to Lorcan. Lorcan was brave and brash, always being able to talk to anyone without a second thought. Throughout his years at Hogwarts, he had grown even more confident, but Hugo and Lysander both knew that didn't mean he cared any less about them. But Lysander was different. He was thoughtful and definitely the quiet twin. He was shy with new people and did not make hasty decisions, but always thought about them rather thoroughly. He was also extremely loyal to Hugo and stuck by him no matter what.

Lorcan had separated from the trio over the last few years. Not completely broken apart, but it just wasn't the same as it had been. Hugo and Lysander remained just as close whereas Lorcan made new friends and became more popular. He still spent a considerable amount of time with them but the difference was he was not inseparable from them.

Lorcan's love life had also become rather a big issue. It was no where near a secret that Lorcan Scamander dated a lot of girls and boys for that matter. You were seen to be rather privileged if you dated Lorcan.

Although, this had become rather a problem for Hugo in particular. For the past year and a half… Hugo had had a huge crush on Lorcan. Lorcan was the first person he had ever fallen for and Hugo really hadn't gotten over him and at this rate he never would.

He never told anyone, other that the twins, that he liked guys. It was something he wasn't ready for quite yet. But ever since Lorcan had found out that Hugo was gay… he flirted relentlessly with the redhead. Hugo wasn't protesting. It had only made his feelings for Lorcan grow even more.

At the moment, Lorcan was very much single. And the flirting had only increased. There had been whispers that Hugo would be Lorcan's next partner, even though it was not known that Hugo was gay. And all of it had only just raised Hugo's hopes. He wanted so much to have his first relationship with Lorcan. For some reason, Hugo was convinced that if Lorcan was ever with him, he would finally settle down.

"Hi Lorcan…" Hugo said with a blush floating across his cheek. He bit his lip nervously like he often did whenever he saw the other boy.

Lorcan almost skipped towards Hugo, Hugo pausing and waiting for Lorcan to come to him. Lorcan admired Hugo's smaller form, as he leered towards him, backing Hugo against the stony Hogwarts wall, "How are you, Hugo?"

"Fine thank you…" Hugo said quietly, turning his head to the side in embarrassment.

Lorcan placed a hand on the wall, next to Hugo's head, making it harder for the younger boy to escape if he wanted to, "You look fine."

Hugo's blush crept up his next, tinting his ears. He wanted to just bury his face in his hands and hide his embarrassment but he knew Lorcan had him now.

"Why are you so shy of me now? You used to be different." Lorcan smirked, knowing exactly the reason. He loved teasing Hugo because he always got the cutest reactions out of him.

"I… I don't know." Hugo said with a quivering lip.

Lorcan chuckled, raising his other hand to brush a thumb over Hugo's cheek, "See you later Hugo."

The blonde turned back to see the blushing redhead as he walked away. Hugo's eyes were fixed on Lorcan strutting away.

Hugo's breath started to slow down and the colour of his cheeks returned to their original colour. He took a deep breath, his heart still fluttering violently.

Hugo shook his head at his own actions before proceeding towards the Great Hall again. He knew Lorcan liked to mess around a bit with him, but he really did wish Lorcan would just… admit he liked him and that was it. Hugo thought that maybe he didn't like him… but why would he act this way if it were all just a lie?

The 5th year wandered in the Great Hall, food already set out and students already feasting. Ever since the war, the school had been different in the sense that houses were no longer so divided. It was including at dinner, as well as in friendship groups. The Slytherins were still slightly apart, but not nearly as isolated as they used to be.

Hugo took a seat at, what was officially, the Gryffindor table, next to his younger cousins, Fred and Roxanne. A few seats away was his sister and James Sirius, who was now in his seventh year, head of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, thinking he was top of the world.

"How was your day, Hugo?" Rose said before taking a mouth full of food and smiling at her brother.

"It was okay. Just the usual." Hugo shrugged, summoning a plate as well as scanning the room to see if Lysander had arrived yet.

"Dad sent a letter by the way," Rose told him, watching as Hugo began to fill his plate with food, "He says we're going to France on holiday to visit the Delacours with Aunt Fleur."

"Sounds good. It's been a while since we went to France," Hugo nodded, "Is Louis coming?"

"Of course."

Hugo nudged Fred, smiling at his cousin, "You coming?"

"Haven't heard anything yet," Fred chuckled, running his fingers through his dark locks, "Dad will probably invite himself along. He wouldn't want to miss out on a holiday."

"Oh, surprise, surprise," Roxanne suddenly exclaimed, her eye line leading towards the large doors, "The man whore has struck again, it would seem."

The family's heads shot up, following Roxanne's eye line. What Hugo saw next not only shocked him, but was guaranteed to pain him for quite a while.

Lorcan strolled into the Great Hall, with his arm wrapped intimately around a Hufflepuff girl, Andrea Drew. He smirked proudly, when many other girls in the room whispered in disappointment, or people who knew Lorcan better, groaned at the fact there was yet another girl.

Hugo's cheeks flared up in rage but mostly embarrassment that he thought that something might have soon happened between him and Lorcan. How could he have been so foolish? He had acted like a love struck school girl, letting Lorcan lead him along like he had.

The Ravenclaw bit him lip harshly in punishment, but his head swivelled around to observe his friend and the new girl again. He watched as they started heading towards the Gryffindor table, Lorcan whispering into Andrea's ear as she giggled. Jealousy was the next emotion to bubble up within Hugo and he gritted his teeth.

"Well, well, well. Albus owes me three galleons it seems. He said it would be at least another week until you got your new girl, or boy for that matter." James grinned wickedly, shaking his head at the younger boy.

"Ah, I'm glad I won you a little money then before you leave Hogwarts with nothing." Lorcan said in that cocky way of his, looking to Andrea to see if he had impressed her.

Hugo was less than impressed though. In fact, he felt the tears stinging his eyes at that very moment, threatening to spill over any second.

He couldn't control them any longer so stood up abruptly. His whole family stilled at his movements, noticing his sad expression. James and Fred almost stood up defensively as well, however they were too confused.

He charged past Lorcan, not waiting for the other boy's reaction and bumped into his arm on the way past quite ruthlessly, his pace quickening so he could leave the Great Hall quicker. The tears spilled from his orbs as soon as he started up the stairs, towards Ravenclaw Tower.

As soon as Hugo reached the Ravenclaw common room, he ignored any calculating glances of his housemates and rushed up to his dorm.

It was going to be a hard night for Hugo.

A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back with a new story!

So I came up with the idea for this story when I was on holiday. I desperately wanted to do a story with the Scamander twins and was originally going to use Louis instead of Hugo, but decided to have Hugo in this story instead, seeing as I haven't had him in a story either. So it's my first time for writing the main trio in this story and the first time I'm giving them these personalties. It's just how I imagined them!

I did want to focus slightly on the theme of twins, given the title and quotes but not so much about how they act around each other, but actually how they treat Hugo and others around them, though mostly Hugo.
