"Venny, honey, it's time to leave," said Venus's "Mom" Nathan, "you don't want to miss the train!"
"But Mom," Venus protested, "What about Mac, he hasn't come home yet!"
"I know honey, but we'll find him," Nathan said, "Don't let that stop you from going to school, Dad and I promise to keep you updated by owl."
"Alright," Venus said reluctantly. Her twin brother Mac had recently gone missing and she was worried that he wouldn't come back. Venus got in the car, but she was silent until:
"Venny, are you okay?" asked Izmena, Venus's nine-year-old sister.
"Yeah," Venus said quietly, "I'm just worried that Mac will be gone for a while, and I don't want him to miss this. We're going to learn magic." Venus then remained silent and lost in thoughts of miracles that would bring her brother back until, finally, they arrived at the train station.
"Here Venny," Alexander, Venus's "Dad" said, "I'll carry this for you," he said as he grabbed her trunk. They walked into the muggle-packed train station and walked towards platforms nine and ten. "Okay Venus," said Alexander, "We have to walk through that," he said pointing to a wall.
"Okay," Venus said trusting her "father" and walking through the wall with Nathan, Alexander, and Izmena right behind her. "Wow," Venus said as she came through the other side of the wall and saw Platform 9 ¾. She saw the beautiful, bright red Hogwarts express, all the young witches and wizards around her, and…Mac!?!?!? "Oh my gosh!" Venus exclaimed running at Mac and embracing him.
"Who are you?" Mac asked pushing Venus off of him.
"Mac," Venus said sounding annoyed, "That's not funny!"
"Okay," Mac said looking very confused, "But seriously, do I know you?"
"Are you really serious?" Venus asked alarmed, "I'm your sister! Venus!"
"Mac, darling," screamed Nathan as he ran and hugged Mac, "Where have you been? We've been so worried!" He was followed by Alexander and Izmena who also hugged Mac.
"Who are you?" Mac asked.
"Your parents and sister," Nathan replied, "Don't you remember?" he said looking very hurt.
"Mom," Venus said, "I don't think he remembers anything. Oh no the train is going to leave soon! We have to go."
"Oh dear," Nathan said, "he has to go to school, so take him and try to make him remember everything and send me an owl later." Venus grabbed Mac's hand and pulled him to the train.
"Here," Venus said gently nudging Mac into a compartment, "I can't believe we found an empty one."
"Who am I?" asked Mac, "Who are you? And where am I?" Mac said in a scared and confused tone. "I don't remember anything. What's going on?"
"Where to start," Venus asked herself out loud, "Well, I'm your twin sister, Venny, and the Egyptian girl is our little adopted sister, Izmena. The lighter haired man is our 'dad' and the darker haired man is our 'mom'"
"Mom?" Mac asked, "I thought only women were moms."
"Well, usually, yes," Venus explained, "But Alexander, the one with the cinnamon brown hair, and Nathan, the one with black hair, are homosexual, and together."
"Oh," said Mac slightly surprised. Venus continued to help Mac regain his memory by telling him stories from when they were young, like the time Nathan had set his apron on fire while making roast beef, and the time when they had first seen Izmena, when she was only three-years-old. The stories were beginning to work when there was a knock on the compartment door.
"Hi," Venus said kindly as she opened the door to see a good-looking boy with midnight black hair and sea-blue eyes.
"Hi," said the boy shyly, "Do you mind if I sit with you?"
"Of course not," Venus said gesturing to the seats behind her, "So, what's your name?" Venus asked extending her hand.
"I'm Sean," said the boy taking her hand and shaking it.
"That's a nice name." she said, "I'm Venus, nice to meet you Sean." Sean just nodded and blushed, sitting down the bench from her. Venus turned back to Mac, "So, are you remembering anything?"
"Yeah, actually," he said, "Thanks a lot for this Venny, but do you mind if we stop for now, all this remembering is making my head hurt."
"Of course," Venus said. She turned to Sean, "So what house do you hope to get into?"
"I don't know," he said snapping out of the trance he had been in, staring at Venus, "What house do you want to be in."
"I'd like anything really," she replied, "Ravenclaw might be nice, because I'm fairly intelligent and all, but I'll be happy no matter what."
"Me too," Sean said falling back into the trance. There was another knock on the compartment door and Venus once again answered it.
"Hello," she said seeing to cute red-headed boys, probably brothers, "would you like to sit?" she asked.
"Well, actually," said the first boy looking at the other, "We'd love too." He smiled and sat right next to Venus, "I'm Fred and this is my brother George," he said.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Venus," she said. "What year are you in?" she asked.
"Oh, us?" he asked arrogantly, "We're fourth years," he said proudly, "So you're a first year?"
"Am I that obvious?" asked Venus.
"Oh, no," said Fred, "I'd just remember a pretty face like yours if I'd seen it before. I remember faces like this one," he added as he brushed her cheek with his hand.
"Thanks," Venus said smiling, "What house are you in?" she asked.
"Oh, Gryffindor," he said, "you know, bravery is my middle name, so if you ever need protecting darling, I'm your man," he unnecessarily added. Sean was still staring at Venus in aw of her beauty. "You know Venus," Fred continued, "I've never seen a first as…developed as you are," he said looking at her breasts.
"Uhh…thanks?" she said trying to decide if it was a compliment or not, "Well, I am almost twelve, on September twenty-third."
"Really now?" Fred said, "That would explain your exceptional beauty. Really, the contrast between those ice-blue eyes and the raven-black hair, it's incredible," he said trying to flatter her, but also being honest. Venus's pale cheeks turned slightly pink. "And that, wow," he added, "your pale, porcelain doll skin, and the way it looks when you blush, wow," Fred continued.
"Stop," she said in a flirty manner.
"Well, yeah," Fred said, "we'd best be off. We have to change soon, but I hope to see you around."
"Yeah," Venus said still blushing fiercely as Fred and George left the compartment. "He's right, we should change," she said to Sean and Mac. She grabbed her robe and began to change as the castle came into view.
