"What? I don't want to attend Divination!" Caitlyn Lumbach, attending Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry for her third year, squealed. She walked down the stone streets of Diagon Alley, looking at her supply list.

"What? I said that I wanted to do Divination and they didn't put it on my list!" Caitlyn's twin sister, Catherin, complained. Caitlyn slapped her forehead.

"Ugh, they got us mixed up again!" Every year they had done this. Catherin looked down at her list. The book, Unfogging the Future by Cassandra Vablatsky, was not on her list. Instead, the book was on Caitlyn's list.

"Oy, this is a pain." Catherin groaned.

"Well, we can still buy the books we need even if they aren't on our list."

"We're thirteen, we've been at this school for three years now. When will they learn?"

"Well, Fred and George go through the same thing as us." Caitlyn blushed slightly as she mentioned the twins' names. She was referring to the two Weasley's, who were such troublemakers that it's almost a pain to even talk to them. But Caitlyn found them rather intriguing. She laughed at their ridiculous jokes, smiled when they pranked the teachers, and smirked when they insulted Draco Malfoy. The boys were a year above them, but they still were friends with them.

"Ah, yes. Fred and George Weasley. The wonderful twins. We should both date them." Catherin smiled.

"But then if one of us marries a twin, the other can't marry a twin because the other twin would be a distant relative of us." Caitlyn said.

"Good. You can date a twin. Meanwhile I can have their friend; Satoshi Ueda." Catherin smirked.

"You do realize that he will never like you? He's a player!" Caitlyn pointed out.

"Blimey, Caitlyn, you are such a hater."

"But you know it's true…"

"You just watch! I will date Satoshi Ueda, I WILL!" The twins walked into Flourish & Blotts only to see Satoshi and his younger brother, Shiro (a second year) browsing the shelves. "And we're leaving!" Catherin spun around on her heels and back out of the door. Caitlyn laughed and sighed at her sister's non-existing love life.

"She's a hopeless romantic." She muttered under her breath.

"Oy! You, the blonde!" Satoshi's voice rang out through the store. Shiro nudged his brother and whispered something into his ear, but Satoshi shrugged it off. Caitlyn turned her head to look at the Japanese boy and his brother, who looked just like he did in his second year. She walked up to them. "Aren't you Jeffrey Knumlach's cousin? I thought you were a twin…Where's the other one?" Caitlyn stared at the boy.

"Yes, um…she's outside." She said plainly.

"Damn. So which one are you?"

"Language, Satoshi…" Shiro muttered. Satoshi waved him away.

"Caitlyn…" Satoshi's face fell for a moment, but he smiled.

"Ah, yes. Caitlyn." Caitlyn and Catherin were often mixed up. The only way to tell the difference was that Caitlyn's bangs fell slightly over her eyes and Catherin's were cut to fall right above her eyebrows. But honestly, no one pays attention to bangs.

"Bye, I'm going to go to the Quidditch Supply Shop." Satoshi suddenly said. Shiro's eyebrows raised in a questioning manner as Satoshi walked out of the doors.

"Don't mind him, he just wants the chance to see another blonde girl. No offense," Shiro added quickly. "He thinks that seeing one of them is like watching a new movie for the first time."

"Blimey, we aren't that rare," Caitlyn laughed.

"My name's Shiro Ueda. A pleasure to meet you." Shiro held out his hand and Caitlyn took it, shaking it.

"My pleasure as well. I'm Caitlyn Lumbach." Shiro smiled up at her. Surprisingly, Shiro was only about an inch shorter than her. Even though Caitlyn was thirteen, she was rather short for her age. Shiro saw Caitlyn's expression and sighed.

"Yes, I know I'm short."

"Oh, you aren't that short. By the end of the year you'll be way taller than me." Caitlyn assured him. Shiro shrugged and looked at Caitlyn, as if trying to memorize every inch of her face.

"I-I guess I'll go then. I might need to catch up with Satoshi…for all I know he could be snogging a random girl he found off the street right now." Caitlyn laughed at the twelve year old's comment and watched him exit the store.

"Alright, let's get a start on this shopping." Caitlyn looked around the shelves and walked to a section labeled "SWI" and found the book she was looking for; Intermediate Transfiguration by Emeric Switch. She pulled out two copies of the book. She walked over to an aisle with a line of books labeled "GOS" and looked for The Standard Book of Spells by Miranda Goshawk, third year. Eventually she found it and once again pulled two copies out from the shelf. She carried four books in her arms at this moment, and she was really wishing her sister hadn't run off so she could carry her own books.

"CAITLYN! YOU WOULD NEVER BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Sure enough, her naïve twin sister shot through the doors of the store. Heads turned to look at the girl as she leapt up the stairs to her sister. "So, I was just walking down the street-"

"No, before you continue, take your books. I really don't want to carry them." Caitlyn interrupted as she handed Catherin's books to her.

"Okay, so I was just walking down the street, when suddenly SATOSHI UEDA WALKS UP TO ME AND SAYS HI." Catherin was grinning from ear to ear as she told the story. "He says, 'Oy! You, the blonde!' so I turn around to see him standing behind me. He walks up to me and asks me if I was Catherin! I, of course, said yes. He smiled and said, 'Nice to meet you, Catherin.' Only, I've already met him!" She went on and on and just did not shut up. Caitlyn ignored her, only pretending to listen, and continued to look for books, handing Catherin's books to her as she went.

Eventually, after paying for the books and exiting the store, then walked down the street to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour to have a quick snack before leaving Diagon Alley.

"Wait, before we leave I want to go to the Quidditch Supply Shop." Caitlyn said. Being the Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, she constantly needed new Quidditch supplies.

"How can you like Quidditch? It's so brutal…" Catherin commented.

"Satoshi likes Quidditch." Caitlyn said plainly.

"I love Quidditch!" Caitlyn rolled her eyes. Catherin smiled nervously. They both walked into the store and Caitlyn sighed happily. This was the place she felt most happy. Everything around her was Quidditch this, Quidditch that. It was heaven. Everything was sold there from Quidditch robes, broomsticks, broomstick polish, even Quaffle polish.

But Caitlyn's personal favorite was the wall of Golden Snitches.

It was a whole wall on one end of the store just filled with tiny boxes containing the metallic, golden balls. They looked beautiful, Caitlyn thought, and she looked forward to coming to Diagon Alley just for this.

With her being the Seeker and all, she often held Snitches in her hands. The cold feeling they have in her hands were soothing. She still had the first Snitch that she caught in the pouch she had tied to her waist at all times. She felt it move slightly and pulled it out of the bag, letting it sit in her hands for a moment. Eventually, it's little wings appeared and it rose out of her palm. It hovered around her head for a few moments, then fluttered around Catherin's head, who looked about ready to fall asleep. She tried to interest herself by looking at a magazine.

"Whoa," Caitlyn suddenly said. Catherin looked up to see her sister looking at a broomstick.

"What's so great about that?"

"Look, it's a Nimbus 2001!"

"It probably costs a fortune…"

"Well, yes, but just look at it!"

"Wonderful. Marvelous. Amazing. Let's go." Catherin said sarcastically.

"No, just a little longer!"

"Didn't they come out with the Nimbus 2000 just last year?"

"Yes, last year! But this is new, this is so…this year!" Caitlyn said, ecstatic. Catherin sighed.

"Caitlyn, you have a Nimbus 2000 already. Do you really think Mum and Dad will really get you this one?" It was Caitlyn's turn to sigh.

"No, I know that they won't." She snatched her Snitch from the air without looking up and shoved it into her pouch. The two girls walked out of the store and went to the Leaky Cauldron. They found their parents waiting for them, sitting at a table drinking bottles butterbeer.

"Oy, Mum! Dad! They came out with the Nimbus 2001!" Caitlyn said excitedly as she ran to greet her parents.

"Already?" Her father said. "I thought that they just came out with the Nimbus 2000!"

"Yes, but that was last year!" Caitlyn said, clasping her hands together.

"So, Caitlyn, any news from you?" Their mother said, turning to Catherin.

"Honestly, mum. Don't you know by now that I'm Catherin?"

"Ah, yes. Of course."

"Besides, you should know that the one talking about the newest Quidditch supplies is Caitlyn." Mr. Lumbach commented. Mrs. Lumbach smiled and turned to Catherin again.

"So?"

"So what?"

"So…any news?"

"Oh, right…Um, I saw Satoshi…" She blushed slightly.

"How come you change so much when you talk about Satoshi when you talk to Mum about him?" Caitlyn questioned. Catherin glared at her and Caitlyn just smirked.

"Well maybe because it's a bit awkward talking about cute guys with my mother!" She snapped. Her father smiled.

"I keep hoping for that son…" He said with a shake of his head.

After the twins had a drink of butterbeer themselves, they all exited the Leaky Cauldron. They left for their house in Godric's Hollow and as soon as they entered the house the girls collapsed on the couch. Moving photos of the girls when they were younger were on the fireplace mantel. One showed the girls in a sandbox, and another showed Caitlyn zooming around on a toy broomstick. Catherin was sitting on the floor giggling at her sister. A fire began to burn in the fireplace with a wave of the mother's wand.

The family of four ate their dinner happily and the twins showered.

As they were washing their faces and preparing for bed, they discussed school.

"School this year is going to be so much fun." Catherin said as she splashed water in her face. Caitlyn nodded, not being able to say anything, considering she was brushing her teeth. "I'm going to ask Satoshi out on the first day of school." Caitlyn rolled her eyes. "Unless he has a girlfriend…oh well, I could just ask him on the second day of school. He'd have broken up with her by then." Caitlyn wanted to laugh but if she did she would splat toothpaste all over her mirror. She rinsed in her sink.

"Catherin, if you can say that then you know that he would last one day with you!" Caitlyn said.

"Well, obviously he wouldn't because I am just that amazing."

"Bloody heck, you're just in denial."

"Language, dear sister."

"I said heck!"

"Oh no, the other word."

"Bloody?" Caitlyn cocked her head.

"Yes, that one." Catherin waved her hand at Caitlyn.

"Hm, I bloody don't care what you say about the bloody word 'bloody'. It just happens to be bloody brilliant." Caitlyn was trying to put the word "bloody" in every possible way into the sentences she was saying. Catherin threw her hands up into the air.

"Brilliant." She sighed.

"Bloody brilliant, correction." Caitlyn smirked. "You know, if you can't put up with me saying 'bloody', you are going to have a problem with Satoshi and all the swearing he does." Catherin's eyes widened.

"Bloody heck, Caitlyn." She said. Caitlyn laughed.

"That's what I thought." They walked out of the bathroom and into their bedroom, changing into their pajamas. They jumped into their beds and Catherin immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Caitlyn, however, couldn't get to sleep. She snuck out of her bed and sat in the window ceil and stared at the night sky. The moon was full, and the sky was filled with stars. She closed her eyes and silently muttered under her breath, "Let me have the best year at Hogwarts possible this year." She opened her eyes and crawled back into her bed, pulling the blankets over her.
