Chapter1: The rainy day musings
It was raining again. Lorcan sighed as he once again tried concentrating on the book in front of him. This time though, he couldn't blame the subject of the book for his lack of focus. Transfiguration was his best subject and any thing that had to do with it had always captured his full attention.
Admitting that the book wasn't making any more sense than it did half an hour ago, he closed it with a sigh, reverting instead, to his thoughts of his brother. And his friend.
Lily Potter. The most sought, most envied, the most protected person in the whole of wizarding world. Merlin must have been under the insanity curse when he made him fall for the one girl he could never reach.
They say men fall for women who resemble their mother. He must have been unique; he fell for the woman named after his mother.
Knowing that she was unreachable did nothing to ease his love for her. It still occupied a major portion of his heart, her face, her laughter, her eyes.
Her eyes, that dark shade of pure chocolate, which would light up on seeing his brother, which would close up on seeing him.
Not that he had made any effort in the past years to make her like him. He had mostly stayed away from her, and when they had had to meet, he had not been eager enough to elicit her interest. And she had assumed that he was your every day nerdy Ravenclaw.
Then there had always been the rumor about Molly Weasley.
Molly Weasley, a co-ravenclaw, was his long time friend and confidant. That's all it had ever been though there had been no want of rumors about them.
Seeing the portrait hole door open and his friend enter, he smiled lightly at her, the biggest greeting he ever gave any one.
"You're in one of your moods" Molly proclaimed as she dropped her books on the table before him and sat down on the couch before the window sill on which he was seated.
"Hmm"
He had taken to staring out the window again.
"Thinking about my cousin again?"
"Don't. What if some one hears you?"
"You don't have to worry. I have one too many cousins for any of them to guess that it is Lil…"
"Sh…" he interrupted her before she could complete her sentence.
"You aren't going to hide away from her forever, are you?"
"I can, if I want to"
"Do you, though?"
"You know the answer to that, Molly. But, I'm not delusive. Not as much as my mother, bless her. She might not even know my as any body other than her friend's brother and I have no intention of making a fool of myself to get her to notice me"
"You could at least speak to her! Rather than staying away and acting all restrained"
"It doesn't matter, Molly. I don't want to waste my efforts on some thing that will never work out"
"How could you say that? You don't even know unless you try!"
"There are certain things that you know, Molly. Like the fact that you are in love with my brother"
"That's not the point now, Lor. This is our last year here. The least you can do is give this a try! Seven is the magical number, right?"
Just then the portrait hole opened and his brother, Lysander entered.
Seeing the two Scamander brothers, one would think that they were brothers and not twins. They were not identical, as far as twins went.
Lorcan's hair was long and shaggy whereas Lysander's just grazed his collar.
Lorcan had his father's deep green eyes but Lysander's were the same dreamy shade of blue as Luna Scamander's.
Lorcan's face was long and aristocratic with well defined cheek bones, where as Lysander had the typical prankster look.
"Hey Lor! Guess what I just did?"
"Took a swim in the Black Lake?"
"Funny! But, no. We, Lily and I, just completed an amazing prank against the Slytherins! Wait till tomorrow! You're gonna laugh your head off. Good night! See ya Molly!"
As Lysander ascended the stairs to the dorm, Lysander shook his head, thanking the gods above that they weren't identical twins with the same character.
