Hoggywarts

This is a story of trust and betrayal. A story of when Hogwarts was ruled by the Marauders. Oh yeah. I was a Marauder. I am Aliep, and this is my story.

Okay, before you go getting us all confused, I know my name looks funny, but before you even ask, it's pronounced Uh-leep. My mad parents were… mad.

My dad's Irish. Red hair, brown eyes, insanely tall—6'6", to be exact. A tad bit eccentric, as far as I'm concerned. He attended Hogwarts when he was younger.

My mum is, well… Supermodel material if she wasn't my mum. Perfectly straight blonde hair, tanned skin, piercing blue eyes. She's 5'11". French accent because she lived in France and attended Beauxbatons (sp?) when she was in school.

And there's my older brother Sean. I've always been his favorite. He's got red hair with mum's blue eyes. At fifteen, he's already 6'2". Not that he's gangly or anything, he's well-built, just—tall. He's going back for his fifth year at Hogwarts.

Anna. sigh What can I say about Anna? She's perfect, for starters. Following in mum's look-steps, if I do say so myself. 15 years old, 5'8", big brown eyes, tanned skin, perfect blonde hair. Basically a carbon copy of my mother with brown eyes. Kind of cool towards me because she despises anything different, and I'm different, to say the least. She's entering her fourth year.

By the way, I'm a twin. Didn't see that coming, didja? We're not identical or anything, I mean, Sinch is well, a guy. Okay, so I suppose I'm not exactly an oddball, as Sinch has coal black hair, but he still got Mum's blue eyes, and insanely tan skin. His features are completely different from mine as well. The only thing we have in common is the slight hair similarity, but even his hair is straight. As my best friend James puts it, Sinch and I are the worst twins ever. You know how they say twins have this odd connection? Yeah, NOT TRUE! Sinch and I do everything together, but we're sadly mismatched. He's the smart one; I'm the troublemaker. I don't even know how tall he is. An inch or two taller than me. Hell, I don't even know how tall I am! This year the two of us are starting Hogwarts.

Okay, the inevitable has happened. It's time for me to explain WHY I'm so different. Well, as you know, the rest of my family has red or blonde hair (besides Sinch) and have brown or blue eyes. They're all insanely tall, all quite tan. Then there's me. I consider myself a disgrace. I've got fair skin, not washed-out, or pale, just fair, with a dusting of freckles over the bridge of my nose. I have curly brown-black hair that falls down my back. My eyes aren't blue or brown, but gray. Actually, I think they might have a blue tint to them, but come on, gray? It's not fair. I didn't even inherit my mother's remarkable features like Anna did. I have shaped eyebrows, ski-jump nose, and a small, delicate mouth. I hate it. My mother and sister have bold beauty, but I have the-girl-next-door look. I'm normal, I suppose. And this wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have a magazine-cover family. I hate my life.

Oh well, Hogwarts in a few weeks! does happy dance I can't wait to have friends that maybe don't know I'm the ugly duckling in my family. Well, James obviously doesn't care what I look like. He's my best friend, as I said earlier, and he lives next door. We play Quidditch in the pitch my dad made in the forest behind our houses. James is also starting Hogwarts this year. Neither of us can wait to get to Zonko's. We're the original troublemakers from Hell.

James already did his school shopping because he's on vacation in Ireland with his family. Lucky sod. I love Ireland. Because my dad's Irish, we take trips all the time. It's my home away from home. His family always seems shocked when they see me. As if my appearance will change if I stay away long enough or something. My mum's family in France, well… I think they're all off their rockers. When we visit, they fawn over me and take me to all these boutiques, and get my hair done and stuff. They think I'm prettier than Anna. Pft! Yeah right. Like I said, they're all of their rockers.

James Potter and I have been best friends since we were in diapers. We were both ecstatic when we got our Hogwarts letters, and immediately rushed out to play Quidditch. Sean and Sinch came with us while Anna rolled her eyes.

It's funny. Anna and I used to be really close. She's been kind of distant ever since she started attending Hogwarts. I think her evil friends warped her. Hey' it's a plausible idea, I mean one day the tried to put MAKEUP ON ME! I mean come on! It was terrible. Absolutely dreadful.

All right, well, the next couple of weeks leading up to Hogwarts were torture, so lets skip, shall we? grabs remote

Fast forward. TOO FAR! Rewind. Pause. Nope. Fast forward. WTF! Seventh year? Ooh, who's that I'm making out with? Never mind, rewind. Pause. Play.

Sean offered to take Sinch and I to Diagon Alley. Mum and Dad agreed, so Sean got the job of shopping with us. Anna and Sean already had their school supplies.

While Sinch and I were getting fitted for our robes, a pretty red haired girl came in with a girl who had dark brown hair, who was quite obviously on a sugar high. The girl was jumping up and down singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' in a VERY off-key voice. This is one of those moments where I could be like 'Sinch and I looked at each other and cringed', but I looked at Sinch who was watching the girls with interest, so the cringe opportunity sped by. I know, we are the worst twins ever. The redhead had to practically tie the other girl up to make her hold still for fittings. Then she introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Lily Evans. The one on the sugar high is Rogue Wolff."

I shook her hand. "Aliep White. This is my twin, Sinch."

Lily shook Sinch's hand. "Twins?" she asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"I know, we look nothing alike. If you saw the rest of my family, you'd be even more surprised." I told her bitterly. As if on cue, Sean and Anna walked in. I don't even know what Anna was doing there. "See," I told Lily, pointing. "Sean is my older brother, who's a carbon copy of my dad, only with blue eyes. Anna is my sister, who is a carbon copy of my mother, only with brown eyes."

Lily laughed. "So you're different, big deal."

"Aliep, Sinch, are you ready yet?" asked Sean.

"Yeah, but before we go home we've GOT to stop by Zonko's!"

"Alright," said Sean, ruffling my hair. Anna and Sinch traded looks. WTF! They're better twins than Sinch and I are! That's bloody unfair!

"Bye Lily," I said. "Er, bye Rogue," I told the now-humming girl. She nodded her head at me. I think. It was hard to tell, as she was rocking back and forth, completely in her own world.

"Bye Aliep." I waved and dragged Sean out of the shop. Anna and Sinch flooed home. Sean grinned at me as I entered Zonko's, the primary world of all pranksters, for the first time in my life. I felt as if I had died and gone to prank heaven. Sean wandered over to talk to the clerk, who apparently knew my brother personally. Figures.

I was walking down the aisles, rather dazed by everything, when I walked into a human wall. Ow. The human wall proved to be a boy who looked to be my age. His glossy black hair gracefully fell into his gray eyes. They were much like mine, actually, but without the blue tint. He laughingly helped me up. He was the original tall, dark, and handsome.

"Sirius Black," he said, offering his hand for me to shake.

I grinned ironically. "Aliep White."

"I take it this is your first time here?"

"That obvious, huh?"

Sirius laughed. "I did the same thing when I first came here. Ran smack into a bloke named James Potter. We've kept in touch all summer, actually."

I laughed. "James said something about a crazy Black who ran him over! He also said you'd give me a run for my money in the pranking world."

"Yeah well, in my house you have to stick out or you get smooshed."

I snorted. "Your house? I've got two perfect older siblings and a twin."

"Oh, yeah! James said you two were—"

"The worst twins ever," I chorused with him. "I know. And we are. Nothing in common. So, what year are you about to start?"

"First, but I've been coming here every day since I got my letter."

"Great, then you can help me, since Sean's not," I said, jerking my head towards my brother.

So Sirius helped me load down on stuff. When we were through, I invited him back to my house for Quidditch. He agreed, grinning like mad. Apparently, James had told him about my wicked Quidditch pitch.

When Sirius met the rest of my family, he laughed. He had though I was exaggerating when I told him I was the odd one. Why does everyone always laugh? rolls eyes We got on really well.

(A/N: I know, short attention span, let's fast forward.) grabs remote Rewind. Oops, wrong button. Fast forward. A little more. A little more… No, too far. Rewind. Pause. Perfect. Play.

With the help of our favorite older siblings, Sinch and I found platform 9 ¾. Anna and Sinch walked through together, then Sean and I ran, just for the heck of it.

"Aliep!" called a familiar voice. I was thus trampled by James. Followed closely by Sirius. The four of us found an empty compartment. It took a minute to explain to James why Sinch and I already knew Sirius

After a few minutes, we were joined by Lily and Rogue. Rogue didn't seem to remember me, so we had to go through introductions again.

"When you saw her, she had just chugged a liter and a half of mountain dew as a bet," explained Lily. Yep, that made sense. I grinned.

"I did that once. It's one of the reasons they knew I wasn't a squib. They literally had to peel me off the ceiling."

Lily looked confused.

"You're muggleborn, aren't you?" I asked. She nodded. "A squib is some one with magical parentage who doesn't have magic."

"Right," said Lily.

"Hey James, gobstones?"

"Brilliant," he said, grinning.

"I play winner!" called Sirius.

Lily watched the game with interest, until she realized the stones squirted us. I won against James 3/3 times, Rogue 3 /4 times, and Sirius… well, I lost 4/4 games against that prat. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I am the gobstone QUEEN. Okay, so now everyone but Lily and Sinch was covered in slime. We were all rather disgusted by it. Well, except Rogue, that is. She was giggling. Go figure.

"Who votes we go find Sean?" Everyone but Rogue put their hands up. Including Sinch and Lily. Rogue was still giggling. I think the girl's a bit touched in the head.

James, Sirius, and I dragged Rogue to a compartment where we found Sean sitting with a few of his friends. Sean saw us and grinned.

"How'd you do, Aliep?"

I grinned. "Of course, I slaughtered James and Rogue, but this sodding idiot bloody killed me!" I told him, lightly pushing Sirius.

"Oh my god, you actually beat her?"

Sirius grinned. "Yeah, well."

"Okay, Sean, PLEASE CLEAN US UP, THIS IS DISGUSTING!"

"Fine. Scourgify."

"Thank you," I said, breathing a sigh of relief.

He grinned. "Luck Ali, you're gonna be a Gryffie."

"Thanks." Some kid came in, telling us we needed to get in our robes. I nodded and left with Rogue and the guys. We changed into our robes just in time. The train slid to a stop.

"Firs' years. "Firs' years, over hear," called a rough voice.

I grabbed James and Lily and we all piled into a boat. Amazingly, the six of us fit. Sinch gave me a shaky grin. OH MY GOD, WE MADE EYE CONTACT! Okay, so maybe we aren't hopeless after all.

Then Sirius, the prat, decided to start howling at the moon (not a full moon, mind you). Rogue shrieked and jumped, which caused the boat to rock. Okay, I have a confession. I'm a klutz. Not your average trips every now and then klutz, either. I fall over my own feet just walking somewhere. I have odd catastrophes all the time. SO, as you can imagine, when the boat started rocking, over the side I went. As I was falling, I grabbed Sinch, who grabbed James, who grabbed Sirius, who grabbed Rogue, who grabbed Lily. And thus we all landed in the freezing lake.

I shot above the water coughing and sputtering. "SIRIUS YOU BLOODY PRAT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN WE'RE ON DRY LAND!" We were pulled into the boat, every one of us sopping wet.

Finally, the boats came to dry land. I was to busy thinking about the warm castle to remember that I was going to kill Sirius. When we got to the great hall, a fussy witch I took to be the healer cast drying/warming spells on the six of us. A witch brought out a three legged stool and an old hat, then proceeded to read down a list.

"Apple, Adalia."

The girl sat down on the stool, and the hat was placed on her head. It seemed to ponder for a moment.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The girl ran to the Gryffindor table amidst cheers and applause.

"Aster, Annie."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Black, Sirius."

"GRYFFINDOR!" no applause. Blacks being put in Gryffindor was unheard of.

"YES!" shouted Sirius, running to the table to sit near Sean and Anna. The Gryffindors recovered their composure and started clapping like mad.

"Cada, Matt."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Crizay, Varie."

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Evans, Lily."

"GRYFFINDOR!" I clapped along with everyone else.

"Autumn, Fall."

"RAVENCLAW!" (A/N: I can't think of any more names, so from here it'll just be my main characters)

"Lupin, Remus."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Potter, James." I held my breath.

"GRYFFINDOR!" I cheered for my best friend as he sat down next to Sirius, across from Sean.

"White, A- Aylyep."

"It's Aliep," I said, sighing. Oh, wait. Bloody hell, that's me.

"Good luck, Sinch whispered. (A/N: OMG! Sinch spoke for the first time in this fic! Go him!)

"Ditto," I said as a walked up to the Stool of Doom. Sean caught my eye and winked. I sat down, and the hat was placed on my head.

:Ah, another White.: I gave a little yelp and fell of the stool. Hey, it was startling::Let's see. You have a lot of sneaky cunning. You're devious and sly, full of pride. I'm going to have to say Slytherin.:

:If you do, I'll blow you to smithereens. Just put me in Gryffindor.: I told it boldly.

:Well, you are true and loyal, so it wouldn't be too far fetched. But really, you'd do very well in Slytherin.:

"SOD OFF YOU BLOODY HAT!" I screamed. Oops, I was supposed to say that in my head. I opened my eyes a bit to see Dumbledore looking amused, and quite a few students looking scandalized. I mean, I just cussed out this ancient hat in front of the entire school. Go me.

"GRYFFINDOR!" I smirked. Of course, on my way to sit next to Sean, I tripped and fell flat on my face. I heard a few giggles in the applause. Go me. I sat down next to Sean and waited for my twin to be sorted.

"White, Sinch." Yes, I got the usual looks as people realized that Sinch and I are twins. A couple of Slytherins sniggered.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Sinch grinned triumphantly as he sat next to me.

"Wolff, Rogue."

Rogue grinned like a Cheshire cat and sat down on the stool. WTF? She didn't show a trace of the nervousness everyone else seemed to feel when it was their turn. I swear this girl is from another planet. She winked roguishly (no pun intended) at Sinch. WTF? That's my BROTHER! shudder I don't want to think about it. Ew.

Her psychotic grin was still in place as she debated with the hat. It turned into a frown. Rogue's fists clenched, and I could tell that she was MENTALLY cussing the hat out. Unlike cough SOME people I know :glares at self:. All of a sudden, the hat shot off her head, screaming, its tip on fire. GO ROGUE! I'm sure most of the people in the hall would have loved to do just that. A professor hurriedly put out the flame.

"GR- :cough:- YFFIN- :cough:- DOR!" the had managed to choke out around the smoke. Rogue flipped her hair over her shoulder and came to sit down next to Lily. I decided to ask her about it later.

"Now," said Dumbledore. "A speech would be made here if you could here me over the growling of your stomachs. So dig in."

"Hey, Sirius," I called at the boy. "Sirius! Sirius? SIRIUS!" he was busy stuffing his face. I threw my shoe at him. Yeah, I know, shut up. How could he eat so much at once? I was between really impressed and really disgusted.

"Huh? What?" he asked, looking around when the said shoe hit him in the head.

I thought for a moment. "Never mind, I forgot now." He rolled his eyes and went back to inhaling solids.

Dinner eventually disappeared, leaving mounds of dessert. On one plate, I put what I wanted to eat, and I simply piled another full of sweets. Sirius, Rogue, and Lily watched curiously. Sean, James, and Sinch knew what I was doing. I'm an insomniac. My normal metabolism is to go to sleep at three A.M., wake up at noon the next day. I'm incapable of going to sleep early. Sean charmed the plate so the food wouldn't disappear.

"Welcome back to another year of Hogwarts," said Dumbledore as dessert disappeared. "And hello to those of you who are new. Hogwarts is a place to let your dreams run wild. Where fantasy becomes reality, and reality becomes fantasy. Here, it does not matter if you stand in the shadows of others," he looked at me, I swear. "Here, it does not matter if you're different, you will find your place to shine. Much like a candle, you only have to be lit," his eyes never left mine. What the hell's with the piercing stare? He moved his eyes. "Please note that a Whomping Willow and an Bruising Beech have been placed on the grounds. You'd all do best to stay away from them. Dangerous trees. The Forbidden Forest is still, well, forbidden." He looked pointedly at Sean, who kept a blank face. "A list of do's and don'ts are posted in Filch's office. Find a prefect for your Common Room password,' you'll find your bags and such in your dormitories. Good night."

With that, everyone stood. Sean led Lily, Rogue, Sinch, Sirius, James, and myself to the portrait of the fat lady and gave us the password (marauding mirage). Don't ASK me how Sean got to be a prefect… Lily, Rogue, and I filed up the girls' stairway to the room that said 'First Year Girls' on it.

I ran to the bed by the biggest window and jumped on it. I used a spell Sean taught me to make my initials hover over it. Now a silver-blue A and W twined over my bed. Rogue giggled.

"What?"

"A and W, like the rootbeer," she said, still giggling. Rogue, Lily, and another girl, Adalia, chose beds as well. We all introduced ourselves to her. She was bright girl with wavy, silver-blonde hair. We all liked her at once.

It turns out all the other girls are insomniacs as well, so my late-night sustenance was shared. We talked for hours, learning all about each other.

Lily is a muggle-born. She has an older sister, Petunia, who hates and fears magic. She's sweet and caring, but has a quick temper, which is every bit as nasty as her sweet side is nice.

Rogue's mother is a pureblood, but her father is a muggle-born wizard. She has three older brothers, all out of Hogwarts. She's a Quidditch fanatic, and loves to prank. She seems rash. I also think she's the kind of person who will jump from one lovely idea to the next.

Addie has pureblood parents. She's an only child. Her great grandmother was a veela. It certainly shows. She's very proud, and unfairly graceful. She's calm and rational; doesn't jump to conclusions. She's got a secret, though. Something she's guarding with all she's got. I met someone like this once. I don't remember who, though. Whatever it is, she hides it very well.

My turn. Well, you know about my family. I have a gift of being able to read people. Some people I stay away from because of how they could hurt me. Others I avoid because I see how I could hurt them. I'm mischievous, and I'm a helluva good prankster.

Somewhere around 2 A.M., we all kinda slipped into sugar comas. On the floor. In our robes. My face in a plate of pudding. Ew.
