That's right; I am starting this thing from the beginning. (For those who think this is their fault: don't worry yourselves, I've been thinking of doing this for a long while.) What is my reason? Well… mostly because I'm mortified by how shitty some of those chapters were. Yup, that is pretty much the only reason, so here we go again.

I don't own anything but my OCs – the rest is all created from the brilliance that is J.K. Rowling. (Love you, fearless leader!)

I work with the movies, NOT the books, so all information that's given on the page, but not the films, are dismissed entirely!

"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."

― John Hughes, The Breakfast Club Script

The halls of Hogwarts were quiet and cold, not a single student or teacher in sight. Yet, with the eerie feel passing through the halls, so did a sense of belong and familiarity. Two identical pairs of bright green eyes wandered over the paintings and carvings in silence, seeming entranced by everything they passed. Their surroundings hadn't changed at all from the last time they had graced the halls with their presence, but it had been so long that their memories had been buried to deeply. And, just like they knew that no one would remember them after all that time, it took them nearly forever to remember the past that the school was forcing to their attention.

"Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts." They heard an all-too-familiar voice booming through the hallways in the distance, causing identical grins to grace their lips before they rushed in the voice's direction.
"Now, I'd like to say a few words before we become too befuddled by our excellent feast." They heard Dumbledore continue his speech in the grand hall, which was still quite a ways away thanks to the structure of the castle. And at the mention of food, the twins begun to run faster in desperation, letting their legs carry them as fast as they could.

"First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin, who's kindly consented to fill the post of the new Defense Against the Dark Art teacher." Dumbledore informed the students from behind his podium and motioned towards the new face behind him, while all the students were still neatly seated in their houses and had their prying eyes glued to the front of the hall.

The unfamiliar faced man slowly rose from his chair and sent all the students a kind smile before greeting them with a polite bow as they applaud. The man seemed warn down and tired, almost sick even, but he still managed to radiate with kindness and manners, which set everyone at ease... even with the haunting scars seeming to follow down the length of his nose and cheek. Once Dumbledore wished the new professor luck with his position at Hogwarts, the man sat back down; and after the students finally quieted down, Dumbledore continued.

"Secondly, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher has decided to retire. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce, that his position will be taken by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid." He continued with a hint of pure glee in his eyes and motioned to the half-giant man behind him. Excluding the Slyterins, the entire hall burst to excited and ecstatic cheers and applause. Gryffindor most of all.
And after being beckoned by McGonagall to stand, the poor man quickly shot up to his feet, nearly tipping over the table and compelling McGonagall to regret her actions almost instantly. She took it upon herself to quickly pull Hagrid back down onto his chair, causing him to shift awkwardly before Dumbledore continued once more.

The twin girls still sped down the hallways as fast as they could and, before they knew it, their little charade had turned into challenge; a race of sorts. "And thirdly, I would like to announce another class that will be added to Hogwarts this year." They heard the old man announce with hidden joy, but they didn't exactly pay attention to him as they kept passing each other, shifting first and second place between the two of them, "Unfortunately, the teachers I am appointing for this position are regrettably-"

The Headmaster was cut off from his speech as the doors were forced open and a loud crash echoed through the grand hall in the process. One single brunette stood in the doorway; being the one who has taken the lead in the race just before they reached their destination. She tried to catch her breath while her eyes wandered over all the startled students with curiosity, paying no mind to the fact that the entirety of her stomach was exposed to the school. She merely wore a single blue mini-shirt and a pair of black leggings, and the oddest thing of all... she stood barefooted.

"Gramps!" She chirped once her eyes stopped at the bearded man in front of the hall, a giant grin on her lips. Seeming childish and filled with a sunny disposition, she continued to wave over her head enthusiastically, "How have ye been!? Missed you-"

A wicked laugh passed over the hall before the brunette's words was cut short and she was sent crashing to the floor by the weight of an entire human on her shoulders... literally. As if she weighted nothing, the brunette's redheaded twin had leaped into the air and landed gracefully on her sister's shoulders... as revenge for beating her in their little match.

Just like the brunette, the redhead had grinned at the sight of the old man, but more importantly, she also stood with her strong, slim stomach exposed. However, even if she did wear the same mini-shirt as her sister, she wore a unzipped hoodie and a pair of sweatpants; all black and all two sizes too big for her petite form.

"Not beating me that easily." The redhead informed the brunette beneath her, who's face was still buried into the concrete. After hearing a muffled groan of annoyance escape her sister, the redhead smirked with satisfaction and made a dash for the podium that still stood in front of "Gramps", as they so 'kindly' called him.

However, she didn't get far before she felt five strong fingers latch onto her ankle, and let a loud yelp escape her lips as her feet was yanked out beneath her, compelling her too to crash to the floor as well.

Nodding in approval of her accomplishment, the brunette jumped to her feet behind the redhead and ran for the headmaster, but only to suffer the same treatment she had made the mistake of giving her sister.

With completely puzzled expressions, all the students and staff, with the exception of Dumbledore, watched as the twins tumbled-and-crashed their way up to Dumbledore. But after seeing their endeavors were accomplishing nothing but pain to their nostrils, the two had eventually just continued to race toward the man, reaching him at the exact same moment and almost completely out of breath.

"What are you two-?" Dumbledore wanted to ask the two, but was quickly cut off by a simple raise of the brunette's hand. Although, the two didn't move to stand up straight, and they both still stood hunched over with their hands on their knees to support their weight.

"Don't... ask..." She forced out between deep breaths.
"It's obvious, isn't it?" The redhead interjected, catching her sister and the old man's immediate attention, "We were having simple fun and ended up having a challenge... like always."
"You are early." He informed them with a questionable gaze, signaling that it wasn't a very common occurrence, "I thought you wouldn't be able to make it on time."
"Well, it sounded like it was urgent." The brunette once again spoke up and gave a small shrug of innocence before the two sisters both straightened themselves out and released a long, tired sigh in unison.
"Were we wrong?" They asked sarcastically and with a small sign of disinterest, knowing that was probably not the case.

Dumbledore couldn't help but chuckle at their usual behavior before he beckoned them both over to his sides without muttering a word. They gave him a questionable and skeptical gaze, but still did as told and each moved to either side of him; redhead on his left and brunette on his right.

"As I was saying, a new class will be added to Hogwarts this year, and that is Combat Defense." The man spoke proudly and without hesitance, but his words immediately made the brunette's eyes grow wide in shock and horror; whereas, the redhead sent him a murderous scowl. "Great... this again." She growled under her breath with pure hatred, where the brunette still watched Dumbledore with disbelief, her mouth agape.

"Professor Lumina." He said and patted the head of the redhead to his left, signifying that she was Lumina.
"...and Professor Charmain..." He continued and patted the head of the brunette, "...will be exemplary teachers, I assure you all."
It was only then that both the girls noted the questionable gazes of the students being sent their way (mostly slytherin), but other than rolling their eyes in return, they paid them all no mind, informing them that they could care less.

"Their classes aren't obligatory and will be optional to year 1 through 7." He informed everyone, finalizing his introduction, before turning his attention back to the twins and nudging them towards the teacher's table, "Go ahead."

Lumina continued her piercing scowl in response, but after sighing at the redhead's stubbornness, Charmain grabbed her arm and begun to drag her to their chairs by force. However there was a brief moment where Lumina completely dug her heels in, causing Charmain to stumble backwards at the sudden halt before sending her sister a confused look, but only for her eyes to once again widen in completely horror.

Lumina's attention was completely and openly frozen on one of the teacher at the table.
And, with no idea that he was being watched and with his form clad in black as always, Snape's expressionless and emotionless exterior was fixated on the headmaster, who didn't bother to wait for the twins to find their seats before he continued his speech.

"Sis!" Charmain hissed under her breath in alarm and scurried to her sister's side as quickly as she could without tripping over her own feet.
Unfortunately, this action had caught the unwanted attention of Severus Snape and caused him to sneer into the eyes of the girl who was openly staring at him, which made Charmain shudder briefly in fear, but still didn't make Lumina budge.

"Sis!" Charmain repeated, but when she still didn't get a reaction, she growled with annoyance and moved her lips closely against Lumina's ear, making sure no one would hear her words. "Obliviate." Charmain informed her sister in a whisper, sending a quick glance in Severus' direction as she did so. FINALLY doing the trick, Lumina quickly shook her head and pulled herself back into reality, only to see Severus' narrowed eyes piercing directly into her own. She took an alarming step back in shock before sending him a quick and nervous smile, and grabbing Charmain's arm to direct them to their assigned seats.
However, she couldn't help but send a longing and pained glance back in his direction before they sat down, each opposite Dumbledore's chair.
But all her quick glance told her was that her stare was insignificant to him, because his attention was already back onto the headmaster's speech.

After that, no matter how enraged the sisters may have been at the announcement of dementors at the school for security, the year's introductions went off without any more interruptions. All the way up to the point were they were presented with a glorious feast and everyone in the room was struck with awe.
"Let the feast begin."
