"hey, Marie!" rosemary greeted as she say down at the Slytherin table, ignoring the hisses that came from the surrounding Slytherins. "harry and I really need to talk to you, after you're don't eating."

"alright, I guess."

"awesome, see you in a sec, then!" rosemary turned to the other Slytherins. "peace out, guys!"

as rosemary walked away she heard Malfoy sarcastically mumble, "yeah, right," causing his groupies to laugh.

When rosemary came back to the Gryffindor table she told harry, Hermione and ron to come with her into the entrance hall. Hermione protested, saying she didn't want to be late to charms class, since they were learning how to move objects today. Ron protested until he was told he could finish his pancake in the hall.

"you're going to tell us why you said harry's your little brother, aren't you?" Hermione asked. When rosemary agreed, Hermione continued. "well, you guys can't be siblings, because harry's told us you're friends, and you guys look nothing alike. Harry's got green eyes with black hair, and you have blue eyes with ginger hair. And-"

rosemary interrupted her. "he looks like our dad and has our mother's eyes. We look like mum and have dad's eyes."

"we? What do you-" Hermione started.

"hey, rose, what do you guys need me for?" marie walked up to the group.

"huh… I thought fred and george were the only twins here…" ron said with a mouth full of pancake.

"what about the Patil twins, ron?" Hermione asked.

"patil twins?"

"dude, where've you been?" marie asked ron.

"anywhoo…" rosemary butt in before a disagreement could break out. "harry's parents are our parents."

"then why weren't you killed by you-know-who also?" Hermione asked.

"our parents found out he was after harry and sent us into hiding with our uncle Felix. Then he was-" rosemary started crying again.

"I'm not even going to try to say it." Marie said, also crying.

"he was apparently eaten by a quintaped." Harry finished.

Hermione gasped. "no!"

"huh?"

"oh, my gosh, ron, you're so naïve! a quintaped is a five-legged spider-"

Hermione was interrupted by ron dropping his plate of pancake. "say no more." He said, shaking.

"so… um… that's what happened." Rosemary told them.

"but you cannot tell a soul!" rosemary and marie said in unison.

"why don't you tell anyone?" ron asked. "you two would get as much attention as harry, you wouldn't be a couple of nobodies."

"oh my gosh, ron! Obviously they don't want the attention! They would have Sophia Skeeter after them in a heartbeat! You know how much of a gossip witch she is!"

"it's not that." Rosemary said grimly. "harry, something's after you in this school."

"and we have no idea what it is." Added marie. Rosemary nodded. "all we were told to do was look after you, and keep you out of danger." Continued marie.

"yeah, no one would like it too much if The Boy Who Lived was killed." Rosemary added.

"well… how are you going to keep him safe if you don't know what's after harry?" Hermione asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"we have no idea." The twins answered in unison.

"I think I might know who it is." Said ron, looking at the twins intensely. They looked at him in disbelief. "I think it's snape." Hermione rolled her eyes. "no, really! Look at him, he's all like, 'I'm a big bat man and I'm going to kill you'!" said ron, imitating the potions master.

"it's not snape." Replied marie, quickly. Too quickly for rosemary's liking. Rosemary glanced at marie suspiciously. "he wouldn't." marie finished, ignoring rosemary's looks.

"whatever, look, I need to go study, so if you'll excuse me." Said Hermione, making her way back to the great hall with ron close behind, mumbling something about another pancake.

"I guess I'll see you later." Said harry, waving to the twins and running after his friends. The girls waved back. Just when marie went to finish her breakfast, rosemary stepped in front of her with a suspicious look in her eye.

"what?" marie asked, trying to get around her sister.

"I've noticed you and snape acting weird around each other." She said, grabbing marie's shoulders to prevent her from moving much.

"oh, ok, I will never lie to you rose. Yes, he's been acting weird. He's been much nicer to me than usual… I think he might fancy me." Marie's voice dropped to a whisper. "I mean, he kissed me on the cheek!" marie explained, using facial expressions and hand movements to better explain what happened.

"he kissed you? Isn't that illegal?" exclaimed marie quietly.

"I don't know, but you have to promise not to tell anyone!" whispered marie. Rosemary nodded. 'ugh, what if he does fancy me? What would mom and dad say? Especially dad?' thought marie, walking up the corridor towards the class she and rosemary had first today, defence against the dark arts.

'why would snape be interested in her?' rosemary thought. 'I mean, she is pretty, but she's not the prettiest girl here… and marie's a student! I could have sworn it was illegal for students and teachers to have any sort of relationships.' As rosemary and marie entered the classroom, rosemary vowed to keep an eye on this… she didn't want her sister to be in trouble. 'and we're only twelve!'

A/N – mary: this chapter was kinda insight into the personalities of Hermione and ron. Oh, as for the 'peace out, guys' that rosemary did… I wanted rose to be more like me…

A/N – Victoria: yea, she's a good little, peace-keeping pacifist that won't even take a self-defence class.

A/N – mary: hey, I've got my magic!

A/N – Victoria: you havn't even gone to any Magic school, you don't know how to use it yet!

A/N – mary: grr.

A/N – Victoria: *yawn*
