Oh So Wrong

Parvati and Padma had been inseparable as young children: they slept in the same room and could finish each other's sentences. A talent that frustrated their parents to no end.

All this changed however, when the twins entered Hogwarts. For the first time in their lives they were forcibly separated, both of the girls had shed many tears knowing that the other wasn't in a bed opposite. They spent every waking moment that wasn't in class with each other. Eventually though, the twins didn't see one another so much. They formed friendships in their own houses, and soon they only spoke in passing.

During their fifth year though, something changed: they couldn't help but watch the other during D.A meetings.

Padma watched from the other side of the room as Parvati Stunned Neville, then whipped around before blocking an Impedimenta Jinx sent her way by Anthony. She watched in fascination as her hair caught the light, marvelling as she saw the glimmers. Her mouth dropped open, but quickly she snapped it shut again mentally chiding herself, 'that is your sister!'

Parvati had similar experiences, she stared at Padma as she curled up on a large cushion. She adored the way her brow crinkled as she struggled to understand the method of an advanced spell.

Though both girls tried to deny it, there was clearly an attraction between the two. It was only a matter of time before one of the two acted upon it.

'Padma! Wait!'

Padma had just been about to exit the Room of Requirement when the shout by Parvati had stopped her. They were the last in the Room, it was the first time the two of them had been alone since the previous Christmas. Both girls were nervous, the tension in the room was palpable.

'I'm just going to come out and say it,' started Parvati, 'I think about you all the time... in a way I really shouldn't. I can't help it but I-'

She was cut off as Padma crossed the small space between the two of them and placed her lips upon those of her sister tentatively. After a brief moment Parvati kissed her back.

They both knew it was wrong, but in that moment, it felt so right.
