"Mum! Guess what?! Were not squibs!" Elijah Evan's loud voice echoed through the halls of the Evan's mansion as he bounded down the stairs.
His twin brother Aidan followed him down in a more dignified fashion.
It was uncanny how different the twins were.
Elijah was the loud, women magnet one with black hair with natural blonde streaks.
Aidan on the other hand was a calm studious, sporty type with black bangs the hung in his eyes.
The only thing the twins had in common were their unusual silver eyes, making them look slightly exotic.
Aidan reached the landing where both his parents and his brother were waiting for him.
Elijah was holding two purple envelopes in his hand one addressed too himself and one addressed too his brother.
"It's from the Tayana Academy. We are accepted!!" he could hear Elijah yelling.
But that didn't matter. I had finally gotten accepted to one of the most prestigious schools of all time. He couldn't wait! We were going to go to Haven's Turn that afternoon to get our school supplies with Dad and my older sister.
Not that I don't trust my Dad but I was glad we were going with my older sister. My Dad seems to get a little carried away with Muggle things and we were going to have to take the car.
So you see my point.
Also my Dad can't drive as he is so used to apparating. Thank goodness Liddy took muggle studies! We all hopped in the car and took off for the abandoned warehouse.
We arrived there and were immediately taken along with the large amount of Sunday shoppers.
We went along too Otago wands first so we could get the hardest part out of the way. We entered the shop and old Mr Listwick siddled over too us rather silently.
I had met Mr Listwick before at a charity function that my dad had organised and was not surprised at his looks but his eyes still managed to creep me out.
"Aaahh.. yes. Jon Evan's. 12 inch solid redwood. Perfect for Transfiguration, I haven't seen you since that charity ball of yours. Crazy idea, if you ask me."
Dad managed too keep his laughter inside but still had an amused look on his face as he led Mr Listwick by the arm too a chair in the corner.
"Yes thank you Jon. I'm getting far too old for this business. I think sometimes too myself that I'm going to retire very, very soon."
"Come now Mr Listwick. Where would we manage too get our wands in NZ? Hey," my Dad curtly replied.
Mr Listwick nodded in agreeance.
He stood up and said, "now what can you do for you gentlemen?"
"My son's need their wands."
"Oh, yes. Starting Tayana?" he stated more then questioned.
Both Elijah and Aidan nodded their heads, yes.
They had gone through many wands and Mr Listwick had gone out a door and returned with four cases.
He handed one to Elijah and one to Aidan. Aidan felt magnificent power in the one he was handling but it was not for him. It kept on shooting sparks at the door. He saw that Elijah was having the same problem.
Mr Listwick grabbed the wands from their hands and presented them with the other two.
Immediately he felt a surge of heat go through his body as the room started to glimmer.
"Finally," Mr Listwick said as he tried to awake their father, as he had fallen asleep in the long time they had been in the shop.
He awoke with a start saying, "Waaah.. I wasn't sleeping, I swear it!"
"Here Master Elijah is your wand. 9 and a quarter inches Rimu with two dragon's heart strings. Perfect for healing. And here is your wand, Master Aidan. 10 inches, driftwood with one unicorn hair. "
They had left the shop after paying for their wands with the words, "Be careful with those wands! They are very powerful. Don't let them fall into the wrong hands."
They had gathered all there things for the new year ahead and went too the magical animals emporium.
Aidan had walked along for ages until he came across the perfect pet. He was strangely drawn to it and it appeared to be the same to him.
It was a most percuilier sight.
The cat had two green ears and a yellow face. His Body was a light blue, his legs were purple in colour and his tail was white.
He attempted to open the cage and was surprised to find it open. The cat leapt from the cage and on to his shoulder and settled itself there.
He walked to the cash register, hardly noticing the cat on his shoulder.
He was lucky it was so light. When he neared his father and brother they appeared to be laughing. They most have seen his confused face so Elijah said, "What is that on your shoulder?"
"My new pet," he answered while stroking the cat's head.
The shops owner butted in to their conversation with, "You are very lucky. That cat and that dog over there," she while jerking her chin over too where Aidan had found the cat at the cage next to it where a dog was sitting there with the strange colouring of his cat. "Are very hard to handle," she finished.
They all paid for there purchases and headed for the five broomsticks for Butterbeer.
("I'm telling you Professor Opal. The Mistress has come once again, along with her husband, his brother and his wife. They will rise again. Very, Very soon."
"I believe you Mr Listwick but..."
"What is there not to believe?"
"I don't know. I just don't know.")
The day they were to go to Tayana and everyone in the Evan's household were in a frenzy.
Mrs Evan's was trying to finish the twins suitcases, Mr Evan's was tampering with the car and trying to get Liddy's case in, Liddy was trying too keep Elijah from putting dungbombs in between her clothes and Aidan was looking for a school book he had misplaced, the cat, (Fitz) was still on his shoulder.
They were finally packed up and ready too go.
They hurried to the station and were relieved too find they still had ten minutes too spare but they all still hurried on too the platform.
Aidan was the last to go on to the platform. He made a run for the ticket box and he was over.
He was so busy looking for his family that he was not looking where he was going when suddenly he was on the floor.
He was lucky enough to have a cushy landing.
Hang on.
Cushy?
He looked down to find him eye too eye with silver eyes identical to his own.
At first he thought he had crashed in to Elijah but then he realised Elijah didn't have such long blonde hair.
Nor did he look like a... girl!
He shot up strait away and offered a hand to the fallen girl.
She was very beautiful and wore hip hugging jeans, a red spaghetti strap top and a jean jacket and he was around his age, he realised.
They stared at each other, silver eye to silver eye until a red headed girl came up too them.
"Come on Cooper. We have to find a compartment!" She then proceeded to drag `Cooper' away from him. The red head let go of Cooper and she turned around, gave him a smile and than ran up to catch up with the girl.
He managed to stay that way for a couple of moments until his brother came up and clapped him on his shoulder.
"Know who she is?"
He shook his head. "Nope. No idea."
They arrived at Tayana when it was dark. The twins had previously changed in to there school robes and were now playing a game of exploding hearts.
They jumped out of there carriage as soon as the train stopped and headed over too a large man calling,
"Firs` years. Firs` years over here please."
They walked for a while until they reached a solid steel door. The large man knocked four times sharply and the door was opened by a short kind looking man.
"Hello. I am Professor Jocks. Welcome and please come this way."
He led them into a large hall, completely deserted with a large amount of desks and chairs.
"You may take a seat. You must complete this test in one hour. In half an hour, a plate will appear. You are too wish for what ever you want and the plate will make it appear. Once you have finished the meal it will instantly dissapear. After this day you will eat meals with the rest of the school in the main hall. You may start."
A test, Aidan thought.
Do they expect us too know some magic already? His questions were soon answered. As Prof. Jocks had said a plate appeared. He finished off his sandwiches very quickly and was doing the test once more.

Aidan was finally finished.
He waited for Prof. Jocks to ring the bell signalling the end of the hour.
He led them through a passage and in to a magnificent room with five tables.
They walked up on to stage at the front and waited patiently for Prof. Jocks to come up and announce what house they were in. Aidan was getting rather nervous as the older students eyed all the younger ones up.
Prof. Jocks finally came up with a large roll of parchment. "I would like to welcome you too a new year.
Now as some of the first years don't know I will introduce the houses too you.
Too the far right of us there is the house of the mischief maker, Ivory Iselda, I give you the house Iselda."
The house Prof. Jocks had mentioned irrupted in to cheering. When they quietened down he finished.
"The house of the smart, Lilo Lilan, I present to you Lilan." The house next too Iselda irrupted into cheering.
"The house of the kind Wally Wairani, I give you the house Wairani."
Cheering came from the middle table.
"For the house of the slow Bilby Bebib, I give you the house Bebib."
There was a pause of a couple of moments than some more cheering.
"And finally the house of the evil Eva Ebony, I give you the house Ebony."
There was cheering from the far side of the room.
"When I call your name you are too step forward and I will tell you your house and then you will go to the second hall to get your spells incerted in your mind. Piere Aala."
When it was finally Aidan's turn he stepped in to the light and looked around the houses. Iselda looked mischevious, Lilan looked very smart, Wairani looke ful of very kind people. Bebib on the other hand looked slow and evil. And Ebony looked smart and Evil. Smart evil and Dumb Evil. That's just great.
He heard Prof. Jocks call out Iselda, so he went down the steps and joined the mischief makers table.
He was aware that Elijah had also gotten into Iselda and the red haired girl he saw at the station but the blonde was no where in sight.
He went out for a couple of minutes and came back in when Prof. Jocks announced Noel Zazari, the last person on the list.
He stood up and followed the rest of the first years into the second hall. The second hall was split into five and each section had a banner with the houses name on it and inside the sections were little cubicles, Each with an adult in it.
He was finally finished. The adult had had no trouble at all it had just conjured up some unknown memories.He was walking out of the section to catch up with the other first year Iselda's when he heard something.
"Aiden," someone was screaming. He walked back a couple of steps to the cubicle where the scream came from only to be bolled over by a house elf.
The house elf was screaming, "Someone get Prof. Opal. Somethings wrong!"
Prof. Opal came moments later and hurried into the cubicle.
He poked his head in to see the blonde `Cooper' from the station having some sort of seizure, being held down by the adult and the red haired girl while the headmistress was trying to calm her down.
He hadn't remembered telling her his name so how come she knew it?
