Chapter one

Sky and Star gazed out of their window, staring into the starry night. One day their life was wonderful, the next shattered. Hitler had taken control over Germany, and had invaded Poland. The whole wizarding community knew how. The Ministry of Magic created a law that al capable wizard 16 and older must come and help with the war, either fighting, or healing or other things, unless their current job was needed in their community. Star and Sky were 16. They were both almost seventeen. This meant they must go. They were leaving for England tomorrow.

Star and Sky lived with their Father only. They never really knew their mother. The twins were quite different. Sky was quite tall for her age, loved to read, always sugar hyped, loved to write. Star was average height, outdoors type, creative, artistic.

Star abruptly got off the window seat and walked over to her bed. She got out her sketch pad and started sketching. Sky grabbed her journal and started writing:

Dear Journal,

My Father got me this journal today so I could write about my adventures in the war. Tomorrow I leave to England. I utterly do not want to go. I wonder what it will be like and what I will do. I love France and have heard England is wonderful. Star and I have decided that we will be against England people. I fear though, we may have to work with them.

I should probably give you some of my background, you don't even know my name: My name is Sky Delacour, I have a twin Star. I never really knew my mother, and I live with my father. My father's grandmother was veela, and my mother is a veela. I am a writer and am planning on having many children. I love to read and am a chatterbox.

That's me. Good night.

Sky Delacour

Sky shut the book and frowned. Tomorrow her life was going to change. Sky could hear her sister shut her sketch book and lay down. Sky gazed out the window for about five more minutes. When she got off the window seat she could hear Star breathing heavily. Sky climbed into bed, dreading the morning.

The redheaded twins stared expectantly at the Minister of Magic, "Remember, if you want this job you must have a reliable partner by tomorrow. Both of you need one."

"Yes sir." Konnor said.

"All right, I shall see you and your new partner tomorrow." The minister replied.

"Thank you sir." Joshua said as they left the room. The twins walked slowly out of the Ministry of Floo Powdered home. As they walked out a small person hugged them both tight.

"Did you get the job?" Roxanne squealed.

"Of course we did!" Joshua said swinging her.

Their thirteen year old sister walked in while reading her book. She looked up, "You got the job?"

"Yes, indeed we did Molly." Konnor replied.

"You're getting to be like your older sister Lucy." Their mother said in the doorway.

"That reminds me," Fifteen, almost sixteen, year old Kristi said walking in from the kitchen, "Lucy coming home tomorrow, Who'll meet her at the train station?"

"Josh and I will." Konnor answered.

"Are you sure, you have to find a partner tomorrow." Molly cried.

"Sure, maybe we'll meet someone reliable." Josh smiled.

"Whatever," Kristi yawned.

"It's getting late," Their mother observed, "All of you off to bed."

"But mum," Roxy whined.

"No buts, got to bed." Their mum commanded.

They all trooped off to bed. Josh got onto the top bunk and Konnor on the bottom. Josh sighed, "Konnor, do you think we're up for this?"

"Sure we are, the question is who will be our partners?" Konnor joked.

"I don't know, maybe we could ask Zack Jordan and his sister." Josh replied seriously.

"Okay, we'll ask tomorrow." Konnor answered. "G'night."

"Good night."

The room went dark and soon the Carter twins were asleep.
