Switched by Me or Genevieve or G 14 the real 1, as you like.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is not mine. Luckily. I don't want to take the blame, nor the front-page fame! LOL

-- -- -- italics indicate what the hat is telling the people. (( ((indicates Parvati's thoughts and...)) )) indicates Padma's thoughts.

"Good luck, Padma," said Parvati as her twin sister's name was being called for sorting. She held her breath in as Padma pulled the hat on her head and waited.

"RAVENCLAW!" roared the hat.

The Ravenclaw table erupted as Padma headed towards it. She smiled, looked at Parvati and gave her the thumbs up. So far, so good.

Parvati sat on the stool without even hearing her name. She slowly lifted the hat over her head and hesitated. ((Do I really want to know?((

She quickly dropped it on her head and clutched the stool until her knuckles were white. Her breathing was irregular; this was the most stressful event in her whole life. Ravenclaw, ((Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw, anything to be in Ravenclaw...((

"GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat.

The colour drained from Parvati and Padma's face. Parvati slowly took the hat off, and went to the Gryffindor table, without even glancing at her sister. She plopped herself on the table and sighed. What else could go wrong?

"Potter, Harry."

Harry Potter could go to the moon for all Parvati cared. She was separated from Padma and that was the end of the world.

The twins' best friend, Blaise Zabini, was sorted in Slytherin, but they didn't care.

The Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore announced that the third floor corridor was forbidden to anyone who didn't wish to die a very painful death, but it wasn't as if they were going to the third floor corridor in these circumstances.

Piles of food arrived on the table, but they didn't eat. Hunger was the last of their concerns right now.

Parvati and Padma's lives would be changed forever, and they knew it. And the thing that killed them was that they couldn't do anything about it.

"Are you okay?" asked a girl, looking at Parvati with concern.

((Obviously not.(( "My twin. Padma. She's...in Ravenclaw."

"I understand..."started the girl.

((Ha! as if.(( "No, you can't."

"I'm half-blood. My twin brother...he didn't get the letter."

Parvati looked up, ashamed.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you couldn't have known. I'm Lavender," said the girl.

Parvati managed a half-smile. She had to give a good impression to other people on the first day of school. Even though she had made a pretty mess of it up to now.

She had found a friend.

"I'm Parvati."

Her stomach growled reminding her she had only had some chocolate frogs on the train. She dug into her mashed potatoes covered in gravy. Maybe school would be interesting anyway, even without Padma. ((What am I thinking? I'm doing to die. DIE. DIE die DIE die DIEEEE!((

Parvati pushed her plate away and sighed. Here we go again.

The feast finally over, and the prefects les the first years to the respective common rooms. Parvati dragged her feet in the corridor. Something was missing. Or it was more like: someone was missing: Padma was missing.

The common room was beautiful but the colour reminded her of the feeling she felt inside.

Anger.

Hatred.

It burned in her gut towards the stupid hat.

It could eat itself, as far as she was concerned.

Tears filled Parvati's eyes, and she literally flew up the stairs to her dorm, a worried Lavender at her heels.

Padma faced a similar dilemma as she entered her own common room ))Oh no. BLUE! ))

All it did was remind her of the feeling she felt inside.

Sadness.

It made her eyes swollen with tears.

Without bothering talking to anyone in the common room, she flew up the stairs to her dorm, where she was sure she would end up crying herself to sleep.

A/N OK...so that was my "great idea" LOL anyway, this is set in the sixth year, and the prologue is to show you how close the twins are, how they 'survived' the sorting, etc, etc. I also have to say that in this story, Padma's friends are Parvati's and Parvati's are Padma's, but only the GIRLS. You will see that this will be necessary further on.

Also, if you like this and want me to update, I want AT LEAST two reviews. It's not that much to ask, is it?

Oh, and the same goes for flames ;o) Even if your story doesn't deserve a flame.
