Chapter 1- The Twins
My sister Crystal and I were just two ordinary girls with friends, two wacky grandparents, and had no idea how special we really were. I, the older one Amanda, am tall with long black hair died bright blue and my eyes cool but warm blue were sparkling happily as I was talking to April and her friend Brian. Crystal was only a little shorter with long black hair her eyes were the same blue as mine. "I can't believe this you guys," I said, "who'd have thunk it, I can't stay with my grandparents anymore, where am I going to go?" April looked sympathetic and stated, "You could stay with me, but I don't know what your sister is going to do." now looking worried I didn't know what to do. "I know," Brian said, "Crystal can stay at my house," he quickly shut himself up looking at the death glare April was giving him. There was no doubt, April and Brian are perfect together. "Well I guess I better start packing.' I said. "We'll help," April looked to Brian with the warning that he better help or else and they all started with boxes and the stuff that I loved the most. "I believe that's it," I said putting my instruments in a big box while April was stuffing my laptop into another bag missing it because she was watching Brian bend over lifting another box. "You have a lot of stuff Amanda," stated April. "I know, but I love it all," I replied back and they all laughed. We haven't seen Crystal all day and wondered where she had gone. Just then the door opened and Crystal appearing with a rather tall man with balding reddish walked in. "Who might this be," I asked glaring at Crystal. Crystal stuck out her tongue and answered, "He says that he knows about all of our real pasts and that he would take both you and me in Amanda." The shock of all this made all of us laugh including the man. "So this is what a muggle house looks like," he stated. All of us looked at him funny and he explained, "a muggle is a non magic person." We all laughed again. "Some man," laughed April, " he looks a little loony." Brian added, " yeah loonier than you are Amanda." We all laughed again. "We have no more time to waste," the man said, " we have to get all of you out of here." Before we could say anything all of the boxes full of stuff disappeared and he ushered us into his car and flew to his house. The house was tall and a bit shabby; it looked like it was going to fall over with one touch of a finger. What was holding it up we didn't know. "Welcome to the burrow," he said with a twinkle in his eyes, "don't mind there's not much room with the five children in the house now," I cut him off, " do you always save people like that or are they really your own children," it was a simple enough question. "They are indeed my own children, Ms. Andraste," He stated. I gave him a confused look. "Oh dear I forgot to tell you all who you really are." Once again we all looked confused and we went inside. "Welcome dears," said a nice voice from the kitchen belonging to a plump woman who immediately sat us down and started serving us food. "I still don't understand, who are you," I said and the man and woman looked to each other. "My name is Arthur Weasley and this is my wife Molly," I looked back and forth between the two and then nodded. It seemed to be dinnertime and footsteps on the stairs brought their glances to see who they were. The first two were twins like me and Crystal; their names were Fred and George. The next two were named Ron and Percy and finally, the last one was the youngest, Ginny. After dinner the Weasley parents explained who they really were. "You two," he looked toward me and Crystal, "your real names are Dwyn and Lilia Andraste." We looked confused as he explained that I was Dwyn and Crystal was Lilia. "Your parents were very important and they died when you two were just babies," he started, "have you ever heard of Harry Potter?" We nodded our heads in unison because our grandparents always told us the story about the boy who had defeated Lord Voldermort and they had said something about two twin girls who had taken most of his energy before he even went to Harry Potter, but we couldn't remember those girls names. "Well, you two are the girls who were attacked before Harry was you have the marks to prove it, your grandparents hid the marks from you," he took his wand and said some strange word but we felt weird. All of a sudden April and Brian were staring at us as well as the rest of the group listening. I looked in the mirror remembering where my grandparents had said the marks were on the forehead, left arm, right arm, and my stomach. They were all there, I was who they said I was and for that we were shaken. After Mr. Weasley explained that April and Brian were our protectors named Mab Lightfeather and Bentley McFadden we were all shocked and decided it was time for bed. There was only two weeks left until school was supposed to start. I wondered how I was going to get to Riverside for school but that was only to be revealed the next day at breakfast.
