A/N: Hi everyone! This is a collaboration fic that was the brain child of three very talented authors and myself titled The 4 Witches. Check out our joint profile and if you like our work, check our individual ones. The first chapters were written by SingingTillImPurpleintheFace 7. Enjoy~!

Disclaimer: We do not own any bit of the HP universe. It all belongs to the magnifcent J.K. Rowling. We're just borrowing it. We do own the OCs involved in the story though. :)

Chapter 1

*~Lena's PoV~*

Hoot Hoot

"Janie, shut that owl of yours up," I muttered into my pillow.

"Don't talk about her that way Lena! She may not matter to you, but she matters a whole lot to me."

"Just shut her up and save me the sob story, you owl obsessed freak."

She huffed and I heard her walk over to our owl, Athena. Thank Merlin she shut that weird winged creature up, if she hadn't I would've shut her up for her. Well, that loud awakening didn't lift my spirits at all considering what day it is. Today is the day my twin and I were born. That's right, that girl who is filled with happiness, joy, caring and wonder is my twin Jane, but I call her Janie because Jane is too plain.

Janie and I have shoulder length black hair, fair skin and pairs of soft blue-green eyes. The only thing that tells us apart is the heart shaped birthmark over my heart and Janie's chain anklet with a sapphire moon charm that she wears everyday. Oh, and I guess you could always tell us apart by our hair. Janie always, I mean always, has it up in half a ponytail and I always wear it up. Whether it's braided, in a ponytail, you name it: it's always up.

"Girls, get your apathetic preteen arses down here."

"Coming Mom! Just feeding Athena."

"Coming Mom. Just laying down, not caring," I hollered back.

"Don't sass me Alena. Now get your obtuse arses down here."

"Whatever," I muttered to myself.

With that me and my twin raced downstairs and looked straight in my mothers eyes. Her eyes were locked on us like we won the Quidditch World Cup single-handed.

"You girls have been accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Oh my Merlin are you quite serious?"

"Yes darling you and and your sister are accepted into Hogwarts."

Janie gave a loud shriek of excitement after our mother had confirmed the news.

"I don't know why you're excited. I wanted to go to Durmstrang. Besides I don't want to go to a happy school full of unicorns and ninnies. I mean it sounds awful already."

"Alena, how could you say that... and is that the reason you wanted to go to an all boys school?"

"Mum, I have no interest in being a freak like you and want-to-be Janie."

"Alena Belle Neumann, whether you like it or not you are going to Hogwarts and you'd best get over it right this instant."

"Fine Mum."

"Hey sis you should be thrilled. We get to go to a school known for turning out the best witches of all time! It will be brilliant. They have fantastic food, bloody amazing Quidditch teams, phenomenal classes and a library larger than our house. Plus we'll have each other."

"Whoopee," I said dully.

"Well that settles that. We are going to Diagon Alley straight away to get your school supplies. Now let's see. Where did I put the Floo Powder?" Mum went into the next room and started bustling around the parlor.

"Oh, this day will be grand. I can already tell," gushed Janie.

"Oh yes completely. A grand outing on our special day. I agree with that," I grumbled sarcastically.

"Girls, I'm going to send Athena to your father to tell him to meet us at Gringotts."

"Yay," cheered Janie as I groaned into my hands.

In a matter of fifteen minutes we were outside the bank and our father was strolling towards us. When our father reached us he gazed lovingly into our mother's warm blue eyes and pushed a lock of her soft dirty blonde hair back and gave her quick peck on the cheek. After visiting our vault, we strolled over to Madame Malkins to be fitted for our Hogwarts school robes.

To my surprise my good friend Scarlette Kross was standing on a stool being fitted for her school robe as well.

"Hey Lena."

"Hey Scar.",l

Scarlette had wavy mid length red hair, pale skin, a pair of kind green eyes and freckles across her nose as well as a large star choker adorning her neck.

"So what are you doing here in this lame alley?" I asked her with confusion.

"Oh my mom is taking me shopping for school supplies."

"Oh well what school are you going to?"

"I'm going to Hogwarts of course. You know I've been dreaming of going there forever," Scar says with excitement.

"Oh well, I have to go to that school too. Me and Janie are."

"I guess I'll see you more often now!"

"Well since we're going to the same school, let's do our shopping together," suggested Janie. Scar and I glanced at each other and grinned. "Sure!"

We ran into Flourish and Blotts and got all our books, popped into Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment for our scales and phials, dashed into Potage's Cauldron Shop for our standard size 2 pewter cauldrons and then we went into Magical Menagerie. Scar ran to every cage and stared at every cat until she pointed imperiously at sleek black cat with green eyes.

"I want that one!" It was promptly named Castiel.

Our parents bought us lunch and we rounded the corner and headed into Ollivander's as the man himself was finishing up with a customer, a petite girl with long blonde hair and strange lavender eyes.

"Ah my dear, this wand is a perfect fit for you! It's made of pear wood, ten and three quarters of an inch long with a phoenix feather core. It's slightly yielding so it will be excellent for almost any spell. Now Miss MacCallan, that will be seven Galleons please." Ollivander bowed the girl from his shop and turned to us, smiling. "Now, who's next dears?"

"We are ,"says Janie enthusiastically.

"No I am sis, seeing as I'm the oldest."

Mr. Ollivander asked me a few questions and measured various parts of my body before having me test out a few wands. But every time I waved a wand, he snatched it back muttering, "No, that's not right."

Finally he said, "Here dear try this: It's dogwood, twelve and a half inches, dragon heartstrings and slightly yielding. Give it a wave my dear!"

With that I took the wand and felt immediate warmth at my fingertips.

"Splendid my dear. Splendid," he said as sparks erupted from the tip.

"Wow," breathed Janie.

"Excellent that will be 7 galleons."

"Thanks."

" Me next, me next," demanded Scar.

"Excellent! Now dear which arm is your wand arm?"

"My right."

"Right then. Why don't you give this one a whirl. Blackthorn, eleven and a half inches, dragon heartstrings and slightly yielding."

Scar waved it with a grin on her face and her face lit up more when green mist flowed out of the wand and made a shape like a lion.

"This is the one for you child."

"Thank you," chirped Scar.

"Now me sir. Please." said Janie timidly, but you could tell she was ecstatic.

"All right. Elm, dragon heartstrings, twelve and three quarter inches and hard." With that a white rose bloomed out from the tip of the wand.

"Brilliant girl. Brilliant."

After that we left Diagon Alley with smiles on our faces. Including me.
