If only her brother wasn't such a bumbling wizard! Roxanne eased across the polished wooden floor in their living room and gave her brother a strained expression as she got closer to him. He held his hand out and wrapped it around her arm as she bumped into him and nearly sent them flying back into a vase their grandmother had given their parents on their anniversary. Roxanne exhaled quietly and pretended to wipe her forehead as Fred motioned for her to follow. He blinked at her and pointed to the stairs. She was to follow his steps exactly. They succeeded in making it up the stairs and into their different rooms. Roxanne was dressed warmly in her yellow robe when she emerged from her room and strategically stepped around the creeky boards of the floor. She froze when the door to her parents' room opened.
"Hey, Roxanne. Don't go waking Fred up so early." Her father blinked at her before further messing up his hair and going down the stairs to the kitchen.
Roxanne smiled and went into her brother's room. Fred sat on the end of the bed with his hands on his knees. He gave his sister a wide grin before letting out a loud sigh of relief. Roxanne stared at her brother for several minutes before the changes began to take form. His hair began to lengthen and his nails got a little bit longer. Roxanne stood and turned her brother towards the mirror. She put her elbow on his shoulder as they stared at the potion dissolving before their eyes. There wasn't much of a difference between the two of them except Roxanne hair was longer, and she had a habit of biting her nails. She snatched her yellow robe from her brother and threw her long ginger colored hair over her shoulder. Why did they have to keep it a secret that they had drunken the poly-juice potion so that she could break up with his girlfriend? Roxanne chuckled at the look Allison had given her when she'd broken the news. Roxanne pulled her robe on and kicked off her brother's shoes. He could be such a coward at time. And that was a secret she was willing to keep. She bumped shoulders with him before leaving the room and giving her father a tight hug as he passed her in the hall.
