Chapter One: Wrong Houses
"Why don't they just give us our ravenclaw robes? I mean we already know we're gonna be Ravenclaws."
"I know...they're just delaying the inevitable."
"Simply ridiculous."
"Touche'"
The conversation was interupted when the lunch trolly came by. The jully witch looked at the two girls. they were twins with only minor differences. One had hair down to her waist and dark green eyes, while the other had chin-length hair and light green eyes. Both had black hair and they were both about 5'.
"Would you young ladies like anything off the trolly?" the old woman asked with a smile.
"Oh, no thank you," the one with shorter hair answered with a wave of her hand.
The witch's gaze turned to the other girl's face.
"No thank you ma'am," she replied primly.
"Alright dearies," the witch said as she pushed the trolly down to the next car.
The two sat in silence for a few minutes until a boy not much older than the twins walked in, followed closely by two large boys. The small leader looking boy had slick blonde hair and had already changed into his non-descript robes. His face was angry, and his blue eyes searched the nearly empty car for something.
"Can I help you with something?" the sister with short hair asked politely.
The boy's eyes turned to them, "Yes. Have you seen a short tubby slime ball?"
"Why?" the girl's light green eyes widened with curiousity.
"He needs to...pay me...for a facor I did for him," the boy chose his words carefully.
"Ah, I see. Well, I do not think he has come this way. Sorry."
"Thanks," the boy lead his goons back through the door they had just come through.
After they had left she turned her attention to her sister whose eyes were HUGE and jaw was slack.
"What's up with you?" she asked.
"He is so hot!!" she exclaimed, running her fingers through her wist-length hair.
Her twin just raised an eyebrow and shrugged, leaning over to look out the window as the other stared blankly at the ceiling, obviously day dreaming.
About fifteen minutes later another boy walked into their compartment. he had flaming red hair and jade eyes.
"Do you need something?" the twin with longer hair asked.
"Have you seen a toad anywhere around here?"
"You have a toad?" the long haired twin asked with disgust evident in her voice.
"Toads are cool!" said the twin with shorter hair, having snapped out of her trance.
"Toads are dirty and disgusting."
"Toads are cool!!!"
"Well...it's not mine...it's Neville's...but I'm helping him look for it," the boy said, interrupting the forming argument.
"Oh... still!! Toads are cool!"
The twins began to argue. It was the first fight most anyone had seen or heard between them. The red headed boy decided to quietly slip out of the compartment, to avoid getting involved.
"Look what you did! You made him leave!" said the 'pro' toad twin.
"Right...you keep telling yourself that," the other turned her head and began staring out the window.

"Why can't we just sit down at the Ravenclaw table, we already know we're going to be placed there," the twin with shorter hair whispered to her twin.
"I know, but we have to do this anyway," she finished just as her name was being called.
"Kitana Himura."
Kitana confidently walked up and sat down on the stool. the sorting hat was placed on her head.
"Hm...Hm...SLYTHERIN!" the sorting hat called out.
All color drained from her face. Shock was evident on her face as she looked towards her twin. She slowly stood and walked to the Slytherin table. This wasn't going to go over well with her parents.
~*~
No time was allowed for the pro-toad sister to assess the situation.
"Marimana Himura."
Knees shaking, she made her way to the stool, watching Kitana's blanch face.
"Interesting, very interesting...GRYFFINDOR!"
The tears that pricked the younger twin's eyes flooded her face when she heard the hat's choice. The Gryffindor table applauded as she pushed herself to her feet and shakily walked to the table.
Marimana looked to her sister for a reaction, only to see her being welcomed and introduced, although her face was still lacking its usual color. The girl then turned her attention towards the rest of her table. Most everyone had forgotten her outburst and returned to watching the sorting of first years.
~*~
As the night progressed Kitana's mood lightened as she embraced her new house. While Marimana's tears didn't cease as she stared at her empty plate.
The next morning the two girls work up to find themselves in their dorms. Kitana immediately burst out laughing hysterically, while Marimana burst out in sobs. Both ending up with a pillow aimed at their head from their awakened dorm mates.
~*~
"Ow! What was that for?" Marimana asked through her sobs.
"For waking us up!" said a girl she had come to know as Parvati Patil.
"I'm sorry!" she sobbed.
~*~
Both girls sat at their individual house tables eating breafast when two howlers arrived. They opened them simotaneously.
"YOU GIRLS HAVE DISGRACED THE FAMILY NAME! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T GET RAVENCLAW! YOUR FATHER AND I ARE ASHAMED OF YOU!"
Kitana being the rebelious one of the two rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and tapped her foot as the Howler continued to screech. When the two howlers finished screeching the blew up. Kitana could hear Marimana sobbing apologies.
"STOP APOLOGIZING!" Kitana yelled to her sister from across the hall.
"Sorry."
"Stop!"
"Ok...sorry."
"STOP!"
"Alright...sorry."
"STOP!"
"Sorry!"
"SHUT UP!" came the voices of their classmates who were frankly annoyed with their yelling back and forth.
"...Sorry," Marimana said, wiping the tears off her cheeks.
"Shhh," Ron said, placing a hand firmly over her mouth. "Stop apologizing, there is nothing to be sorry about, so stop it."
~*~
"That's your twin?" Draco Malfoy asked as Kitana put her head in her hands.
"Yes..." she mumbled.
"I feel sorry for you."
"Shut up." There may have been times when her sister got on her nerves but she still loved her sister to death.
"Hey Kit, we're going to the common room to get our stuff, you coming?" Pansy Parkinson asked, getting up from her seat.
"Yeah," she said, getting to her feet and following her quickly made her friends to the door. Marimana grabbed her arm.
"You guys go on without me. I'll catch up in a minute," Kitana called after Pansy and Millicent.
"What do you want?" she asked, pulling her arm back and looking at her mirror image sister.
"I found out why we got put in the wrong houses. We saw those guys on the train, if they hadn't come into our car we'd be in the right house," Marimana's tear streaded face shone with the newly gained knowledge.
"But, Mari, I am in the right house," Kit flipped her hair over her shoulder, gave her now sobbing sister a hug and walked out the banquet hall's door.
